I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 507 Ji Xuan Appears, Mars Exploration Project

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

November has arrived.

During this time.

One after another, top-tier geniuses emerged.

In just one month, the number of people has exceeded five hundred.

Given this year's situation, a score of at least 1245 is likely needed to pass the first test and be considered relatively secure.

If this score were given ten years ago...

Not to mention the top ten, the top twenty is definitely no problem.

But right now, it's just passing the first hurdle.

It can be said that the intensity of the final assessment at Origin Academy far exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, the people of Origin Academy did not pay much attention to the turmoil in the outside world.

Or rather, their attention was drawn to other things!

Vice Dean Ji Xuan will begin in three days.

Therefore, it's noticeable that there are many more people in the college these days.

Apart from a few grandmasters who did not return due to missions, almost all of those who were able to return have returned!
To know.

In previous years, there have been people who successfully grasped the essence of the art after attending Vice Dean Ji Xuan's class.

Therefore, most people will not miss this opportunity.

After all, Vice Dean Ji Xuan only gives a lecture once a year.

Unless they are absolutely unable to get away, almost everyone else will come back.

Currently, the number of people in the academy has exceeded 150.

The Origin Academy has become lively again after a long time.

……

"You're really charming!"

“Every time you give a lecture, it’s when the college has the largest number of students.”

Dean's room.

Li Qingxuan glanced at the young man in front of him, then smiled and teased:
"I'm afraid it won't be long before I have to step down as dean!"

Upon hearing this, the young man couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Dean, you must be joking!"

The young man was Ji Xuan, who had just returned from the Moon and Star.

Seven years have passed, and he is now thirty-six years old.

However, compared to before, Ji Xuan's appearance has not changed at all.

After all, those who have reached the Transcendent Realm have a lifespan of two hundred years.

In their thirties, they haven't even lived a fifth of their lives.

It's naturally difficult to see any changes.

Now that he has reached the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, he may be slightly stronger than Li Qingxuan.

In the entire Origin Academy, only Nangong Hong could rival him!

Over the years, the two have often sparred.

But the outcome was never decided.

Of course, even in a life-or-death struggle.

With his strength at the second stage of the Wind Realm.

Even if they couldn't defeat Nangong Hong, they would still be invincible.

Compared to them...

Li Qingxuan was slightly inferior.

Despite this, neither of them showed the slightest disrespect to Li Qingxuan.

They never even considered replacing him.

This is not only because of the relationship between Li Qingxuan and Yuanzu.

Furthermore, it is because Li Qingxuan was the one who led them onto the path of the extraordinary.

Moreover, Li Qingxuan provided them with a great deal of help on their cultivation journey.

But in Li Qingxuan's heart, he did have the idea of ​​passing the position of dean to Ji Xuan.

After all, Ji Xuan is not only strong, but also very capable.

As for Nangong Hong...

Knowing that guy's personality.

Even if you offered him the position of Dean of the Origin Academy, he would most likely not be willing.

Of course, it's too early to say these things now.

"Alright, I didn't say you were going to take over from me right now."

"It's not too late to discuss this matter after Fellow Daoist Xia returns."

Speaking of Xia Yuan, Ji Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Dean, Yuanzu has been away from Earth for seven years now. Do you know when Yuanzu will return?"

"I don't know that either."

Li Qingxuan shook his head.

"But if things go quickly, he should be back in three to five years!" Xia Yuan had said before that he would definitely be back in ten to twenty years.

Now it's almost been ten years.

It should be soon!

It's just unknown whether Xia Yuan has found a solution to the source energy problem.

"Speaking of which, Minister Xie and I discussed going to Mars not long ago."

"Maybe we'll see the Origin Ancestor on Mars or in the starry sky someday."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan was taken aback.

"Going to Mars?"

With his current strength, he is basically aware of all the decisions made by the People's Federation.

I had never heard of this before.

So he asked curiously:

"Didn't we say before that we would go to Mars in a few decades, after the technology has matured?"

"How come it's so fast now?"

"Heh, isn't it all because of the appearance of the Source Energy Armor!"

"With the advent of energy armor, our pace of exploring the stars can be greatly accelerated."

Li Qingxuan smiled and continued:
"However, Minister Xie only discussed this matter with me, and it has not been officially confirmed yet."

"After all, energy armor cannot be mass-produced yet."

"Moreover, to wear the source energy armor for a long time, one needs to reach at least the peak of the Transcendent Realm."

"So even if we really want to go to Mars, it won't be something that happens in the next few years."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan nodded.

He also wore the energy armor.

However, with his strength, he could only maintain it for a few days.

After a while, it becomes unbearable!

Even Nangong Hong, a grandmaster whose physical body is considered the strongest in the world, could only maintain it for half a month.

This amount of time is far from sufficient to meet the conditions for long-term survival in space.

Although the pace of human technological development is fast these days.

However, it would take nearly half a year to fly from Earth to Mars.

And this was when Mars was at its closest point to Earth.

If it were when Xia Yuan left back then, it would have taken him about two years to arrive.

Of course, there is also the issue of energy.

To reach Mars quickly, we must use the Source Crystal as the power core.

Similarly, the amount of source crystals required to maintain the source energy armor is not small.

Given the current amount of Source Crystals available to humanity, investing so many Source Crystals in the Mars exploration project requires extreme caution.

Also.

Those selected to go to Mars must at least reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

Even the realm of unification.

Even at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, no one has yet reached it.

Therefore, Xie Xuan only mentioned this idea to Li Qingxuan.

However, the reason they brought this up was because they didn't want to place all their hopes on Xia Yuan alone.

The development of Earth is ultimately not a matter for one person alone.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!"

Xie Xuan shook his head, then smiled and said:

"How's your cultivation going lately? How far are you from reaching the eighth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan gave a wry smile.

"I still have two meridians that haven't been opened yet. If I want to break through to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, it will probably take at least two years."

Xie Xuan nodded, not surprised at all.

After cultivating to the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, the difficulty of opening up the meridians becomes increasingly higher.

Even though Ji Xuan's Wind Intent had reached the second stage.

Achieving a rapid breakthrough is no longer such an easy task!

If his martial arts realm can break through to the late stage of Dark Force, he might have a chance to break through in a year and a half or even less.

However, Ji Xuan's martial arts talent was still a little lacking.

Even so.

He only needs three years to break through from the seventh level of the Mortal Transformation Realm to the eighth level.

This cultivation speed is already incredibly fast!

The only one who can compare to him is Nangong Hong.

The others, even Yuan Liren and Sikong Yang, are still a bit lacking.

Otherwise, there wouldn't only be three people who have broken through to the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm.

"Speaking of which, Sikong Yang's martial arts realm broke through to the late stage of Dark Force two months ago."

"I estimate that it won't be long before he becomes a Grandmaster!"
