I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 661 The Path to the Outside World

"Teacher, breakfast is ready!"

The next morning.

As soon as Xia Yuan pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard, Hua Changfeng's greeting came from the side.

"Ok!"

Xia Yuan nodded, his gaze falling on the stone table in the courtyard, where a bowl of congee and side dishes had already been laid out.

The dishes were not plentiful; they were the kind of food that farmers usually eat.

He scooped up a spoonful and tasted it.

"Not bad, although your cultivation hasn't improved much, your cooking skills have improved quite a bit."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He is now at least a Grandmaster at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, and he broke through to the Grandmaster level in less than thirty years of cultivation.

In his view, this rate of progress was already extremely fast!

After all, apart from the Origin Academy, there aren't many students from other extraordinary academies who can break through to the Grandmaster level in twenty-seven years.

Therefore, Hua Changfeng was already quite satisfied!

Of course, this is also because of Xia Yuan.

If it weren't for Xia Yuan, he would most likely still be in the mid-stage of Dark Force, and naturally wouldn't have been able to break through to Grandmaster so quickly.

After Xia Yuan left the Northern Ice Plains, Hua Changfeng continued to cultivate there.

It wasn't until eight years later, in the twenty-seventh year of the Extraordinary Era, that he finally broke through to the seventh level of the Mortal Transformation Realm.

His long-term training on the local ice plains gradually made him accustomed to life there.

Hua Changfeng only returned home for a year when his father passed away in the 29th year of the Extraordinary Era.

After arranging his father's funeral and entrusting family affairs to his other brothers, he returned to that desolate icy plain.

It wasn't until half a year ago, when Xia Yuan had completely finished setting up the secret realm, that he brought it out of there.

"Okay, sit down and eat!"

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head.

He was just saying that; he's actually quite satisfied with Hua Changfeng and Xia Yuan.

At least he endured more than a decade of loneliness.

Hua Changfeng has now condensed his divine soul, and there should be no problem with that!

The only downside is that martial arts training is a bit slow.

Even with his own help, it would probably take him another five or six years to break through to the peak of Dark Force.

At this rate, it will take Hua Changfeng about thirty more years to break through to the Unity Realm.

By then, he will be almost a hundred years old!
"Yes!"

Just then, a snow-white fox with two tails appeared in their line of sight.

The two-tailed fox moved with lightness and swiftness, like a drifting snow cloud, and leaped to the stone table in a few moments.

The little fox stood upright, its two front paws resting on the edge of the stone bench, its fluffy head tilted back.

A pair of bright, mischievous green eyes stared longingly at the congee and side dishes on the table, while her pink nose twitched slightly.

The unusually fluffy tail, forked into two, swayed gently behind him as if trying to please him, stirring up a little dust.

"Hey~"

It makes a soft, delicate cry, as if it's being affectionate.

Xia Yuan glanced at it and said irritably:

"These are just ordinary food, not spiritual plants, so they won't be of any use to you!"

"嘿~咱~"

The little fox didn't give up; instead, it cried out even more pitifully, its two fluffy ears drooping down.

Its emerald eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of moisture, its little head gently rubbed against the edge of the stone bench, and its tail wagged more frequently.

She looked so pitiful.

"..."

Xia Yuan's mouth twitched.

When we first brought the little fox out, we seemed quite serious and cautious.

But after spending the last six months with him, this little guy is gradually showing signs of becoming more like a white-haired person!
The little fox is better than Big White in that it occasionally helps catch some wild game to add to the meal, so it's somewhat sensible.

As for cultivation level, this little fox is now equivalent to the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Their combat effectiveness is just not that great.

In a head-on confrontation, it would be extremely difficult for it to be a match for a human superhuman of the same level.

Of course, while the little fox's direct combat strength is not strong, its mental perception is exceptionally sharp, a quality that even many human grandmasters cannot match.

In addition, it is very fast.

A faint ripple of wind-like energy could be detected.

These two points alone are enough to prove that the little fox is indeed quite talented!

This is the reason why Xia Yuan decided to keep it by his side.

"Give it some."

Xia Yuan shook his head and didn't bother arguing with the little guy.

Hua Changfeng smiled and agreed, then took out a small dish, poured some congee and a few side dishes into it, and placed it in front of the little fox.

They've reached that level.

Eating these ordinary meals is not about filling one's stomach, but merely about satisfying one's appetite.

The little fox was the same.

Xia Yuan looked at its greedy appearance and ignored it.

"Teacher, there have been quite a few big developments in the outside world lately. Do you know what the People's Association is up to?"

During the meal, Hua Changfeng finally couldn't help but ask. Although he had been cultivating in Panlong Town with Xia Yuan for the past six months, he had naturally heard some things about what was happening in the outside world.

Both the reforms at Origin Academy and the recent actions of the People's Alliance began about six months ago.

Six months ago, it was the time when Xia Yuan finished setting up the secret realm and came out of seclusion.

Therefore, in his view, the recent events are most likely related to the teacher.

It might even be the teacher's doing.

Xia Yuan picked up a piece of pickled vegetable with his chopsticks, slowly put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then smiled and spoke:
"They want to create a path of trials to cultivate top-tier experts and, incidentally, reshuffle the existing order."

"The Path of Trials?"

"Ah."

Xia Yuan nodded, then continued:

"The SUPP has invested enormous effort and resources in this project; it is arguably the largest project in its history!"

"Once the Trial Road is completed, many people will have the opportunity to rise to prominence."

"Of course, many people will be surpassed or even fall from grace because of this."

Hua Changfeng was deeply shocked upon hearing this.

He understood what his teacher meant: any major change is accompanied by both opportunities and risks.

This path of trials is both a ladder to heaven and a graveyard for countless geniuses.

"Do you want to try this trial path too?"

Xia Yuan looked at Hua Changfeng with a half-smile.

"no, I'm fine!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng waved his hands repeatedly.

Are you kidding me?
The greatest opportunity in the world is right here beside you, so why bother going to great lengths to embark on some trials?

Even if the path of trials is full of opportunities, can it compare to a teacher's casual remark?
Hua Changfeng knew exactly what was going on.

Of course, the greatest benefit of the Trial Path is actually the practical experience and the clashes with all sorts of geniuses, which is extremely beneficial for honing oneself and broadening one's horizons.

Even with guidance from top experts, many things still require personal experience and understanding to truly make them one's own.

This is why Huachangfeng's progress has never been as fast as those of those who have truly experienced blood and fire.

Talent is only one aspect; another aspect is the lack of tempering in the face of life and death and competing with top figures of the same generation.

However, Hua Changfeng is already satisfied with his current cultivation speed!

He didn't even think about comparing himself to those geniuses.

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head, finding this answer to be entirely expected.

"Teacher, you didn't suggest this path of trials, did you?"

Fearing that Xia Yuan would continue to send him on the path of trials, Hua Changfeng quickly changed the subject.

"You're overthinking it. This has nothing to do with me!"

Indeed, Xia Yuan had only informed Li Qingxuan that the secret realm had been set up.

As for all their subsequent actions, they had nothing to do with him.

To be honest, Xia Yuan was quite surprised when he learned of Li Qingxuan and the others' plan.

After all, the investment required to transform the Myriad Manifestations Heaven into a trial path was simply too great!

Even he hadn't expected to cause such a big commotion.

It's surprising that Li Qingxuan, who always advocated non-interference in governance, actually had such great courage.

This was something Xia Yuan hadn't expected.

"If the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Path works well, then perhaps I can create a true path of trials."

Xia Yuan touched his chin.

This time, Li Qingxuan gave him inspiration.

In his view, the Wanxiang Tianlu is still too small to cultivate too many geniuses.

After all, resources are limited and the scale of the secret realm is not large.

Ultimately, being able to cultivate over a hundred Returning to One Realm cultivators is already the limit!

As for those who have reached the Unity Realm, the competition will only become more intense.

Therefore, Xia Yuan considered whether to create a true trial path, specifically one geared towards the True Spirit Realm.

As for the route, it naturally starts from Earth and goes all the way to the edge of the solar system.

It can be considered a path through the starry sky to step out of the forgotten star field.

Successfully traversing this path grants the qualification to leave the Forgotten Starfield.

Of course, this is just an idea for now.

Creating such a starry sky path would require an extremely long time and a huge investment, even for Xia Yuan.

This is not something that can be accomplished in a short time; it will likely take hundreds of years.

Therefore, even if he really wanted to do it, Xia Yuan would wait until his strength truly reached the peak of the mortal realm before doing so.

"Let's take a look at the specifics of the Trial Road first!"

After a moment, Xia Yuan shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.

"finally come!"

Sudden.

Xia Yuan smiled and then said to Hua Changfeng in front of him:

"Go get another bowl of porridge, we have guests coming!"

guest?

Hua Changfeng was taken aback.

Could it be Uncle Ding's family? Or perhaps Zhang Changsheng?

For the past six months, these two families have frequently come over to eat together.

It's rare to see someone come so early in the morning.
