I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 677 Qin Xue Returns
In the small courtyard.

Wan Chen, who was playing chess with Xia Yuan, congratulated Hua Changfeng after sensing the aura emanating from him.

"Director Hua, congratulations!"

Three years after breaking through to the Unity Realm, Wan Chen's divine soul now covers a range of three hundred meters.

So Hua Changfeng had already noticed it on his way back!
Hua Changfeng smiled and shook his head.

"Old Wan, stop making fun of me. I've only broken through to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm."

Of course, that's one thing.

But the smile on his face remained unchanged.

After all, his talent was no match for top geniuses like Wan Chen. He was already quite satisfied to have broken through to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm after forty years on the path of the extraordinary!
If he had cultivated on his own, he wouldn't even be able to reach the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm, let alone become a Grandmaster.

You still have the nerve to laugh!

Xia Yuan glanced at it and said calmly:
"It's been almost twenty years, and I still haven't been able to break through to the peak of Dark Force in martial arts."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng's smile froze instantly.

next moment.

He quickly walked to the stone table, picked up the purple clay teapot on the table, and refilled Xia Yuan's tea.

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm sure I'll be able to break through within three years!"

Xia Yuan placed a piece, then shook his head.

He originally thought that Hua Changfeng would be able to break through to the peak of Dark Force a few years ago, but he didn't expect that he still hasn't broken through.

However, Hua Changfeng has indeed not slacked off much over the years.

Unfortunately, his talent was indeed average, so Xia Yuan didn't say much.

However, the higher one's martial arts level, the more difficult it becomes to improve.

Currently, Hua Changfeng is only at the peak of the Dark Force realm, and it will take him twenty years to reach that level.

This was even with Xia Yuan's help in forcibly memorizing the insights of a higher realm.

What about breaking through from hidden strength to transformed strength?

Thirty years, fifty years, or a hundred years?
This is taking too long!
But Xia Yuan had no doubt that without his help, Hua Changfeng would have had a hard time breaking through to the Transformation Realm in his lifetime.

"It seems we don't need to think about having him open up too many acupoints!"

Xia Yuan gently stroked the chess piece in his hand.

He had changed his mind at that moment.

He originally planned to explore human potential and open up more acupoints after Hua Changfeng broke through to the Unity Realm.

But given Hua Changfeng's situation, it's simply not realistic.

If you focus too much on opening up acupoints, you won't even have a chance to break through to the True Spirit Realm.

"That's it!"

"Let's focus on breaking through to the True Spirit Realm!"

In the True Spirit Realm, the lifespan is at least a thousand years.

If one can cultivate to the peak of True Spirit, one can live for tens of thousands of years.

A lifespan of ten thousand years is enough to witness the vicissitudes of life and the rise and fall of countless dynasties.

Shaking his head, Xia Yuan didn't think about it any further.

By the side.

Hua Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Yuan did not continue to blame him, and he became even more attentive in pouring tea.

Warm tea is poured into the cup, and wisps of white steam rise.

He then quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, the assessment for the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road is in two months. I wonder how many people will be qualified to enter the Heavenly Road by then!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Chen smiled and said:

"Given the difficulty of this assessment, achieving 30% would be considered quite good!"

He wasn't exaggerating.

The assessment criteria announced by the People's Federation can be described as quite high.

Take the standard that one needs to reach the initial stage of Dark Force and master the intent to advance to the first level of Transcendent Realm as an example.

Even within Lingxiao Academy, only a very small number of students can meet this requirement.

Reaching the initial stage of internal strength is already considered genius; those at the early stage of internal strength are extremely rare.

"Even with a 30% success rate, that's still four thousand people getting in. That's already a lot, isn't it?"

"Ah."

Wan Chen nodded.

The resources available at Wanxiang Tianlu are clearly far from sufficient to train so many people at the same time.

That's why there's an elimination mechanism.

Only truly top geniuses can stay there for a full thirty years.

It can be said that anyone who can enter the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road, even if they are only at the Innate Realm, will definitely be able to break through to the Unity Realm.

And those grandmasters might even have cultivated to the second stage of the Unity Realm.

Such an opportunity would drive any extraordinary person mad.

This is why so many people signed up.

It's fair to say that anyone who believed they had a chance of passing the assessment would sign up.

Even if it's very dangerous.

"In the next thirty years, a large number of geniuses will probably die, but many will also be born in the Unity Realm."

"Once this Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Road ends, the human race will officially enter the era of Unity!"

Wan Chen gazed into the distance, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes.

With this golden age about to begin, which ambitious extraordinary person wouldn't yearn to participate personally, compete with their peers, witness and drive the tide of the times?
Unfortunately, he has completely lost this opportunity.

"Speaking of which, I wonder how far that little guy Ding Yan can go!"

"Who knows, when he comes back next time, his cultivation level might surpass mine."

That's right, Ding Yan left Panlong Town three months ago.

Unlike Hua Changfeng.

Ding Yan has experienced far too little!
For him, staying in this small town long-term is not a good thing.

Moreover, he experienced the passing of both his grandparents within just three years.

Yes.

Two and a half years after Aunt Ding passed away, Aunt Ding also passed away.

Everyone could see it back then. With Uncle Ding's passing, Aunt Ding seemed to have lost a large part of her spirit and energy.

She still took care of the housework and cared for her children and grandchildren, but there was always a lingering emptiness and weariness in her eyes.

Finally, four months ago, Ding Hai noticed that his mother was no longer waking up early as usual.

She lay quietly on the bed, her face serene, as if she had simply fallen into a deep sleep and would never wake up again.

There was no struggle whatsoever; in fact, there was a hint of relief in her smile.

For Aunt Ding, her heart went with Uncle Ding the moment he passed away.

The fact that he has been able to live for nearly three years is already the result of the original medicine's best efforts to sustain him!

But death was indeed a relief for her.

The successive deaths of his grandparents dealt a heavy blow to Ding Yan.

If Ding Yan doesn't emerge from this state, it will be very difficult for him to condense his divine soul in the future.

Ultimately, they will only be stuck in the Transcendent Realm, with no hope of returning to the One Realm for the rest of their lives.

Ding Yan is too young and not suitable to stay in one place to cultivate like Hua Changfeng, Wan Chen and others.

Moreover, staying here in this state of mind will only deepen his pain and make him sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of memories.

He needs to experience, to encounter, and to see a wider world.

Only by weathering the storms and washing away naivety and pain can one truly grow.

Just as the two were talking, a little fox with two tails came running back from outside.

If you look closely, you can see the shimmering sheen on its snow-white fur.

At the base of its two originally fluffy long tails, a bulging little fleshy ball is quietly sprouting.

Clearly, its third tail is already showing signs of growth!

"This kid's cultivation speed is really fast!"

Looking at the little fox in front of him, a hint of envy flashed in Hua Changfeng's eyes.

When he was at the fifth level of the mortal realm, the little fox was only at the third level.

Now he has the strength of a Grandmaster.

Even if he were to face him, he wouldn't dare say he could reliably beat this little guy.

It was because the little fox's mental strength was too strong that Hua Changfeng would be affected and momentarily disoriented if he wasn't careful.

Furthermore, the little fox's speed was astonishing; with a gentle flick of its two tails, it could transform into a streak of white light, making it much faster than Hua Changfeng before his breakthrough.

As a result, Hua Changfeng was often teased by this little guy.

However, the thought that he had already broken through to the eighth level of the Transcendent Realm made Hua Changfeng feel somewhat more at ease.

At least for the time being, I don't have to worry about being unable to beat the little fox anymore!

Ignoring Hua Changfeng's expression, the little fox jumped onto the chessboard, pointed outwards with its forepaws, then pointed at Wan Chen, gesturing and making soft noises.

Wan Chen quickly understood the meaning behind the little fox's words, frowned, and said:
"You mean, there's someone with a similar aura to me coming this way?"

The little fox nodded quickly.

Both of them were stunned when they saw this.

If his aura is similar to Wan Chen's, does that mean a transcendent being at the Unity Realm has arrived?
With the power of the Origin Ancestor, he should have discovered it long ago!

Since they didn't say so, they must know the ancestor.

However, there are only a little over thirty experts at the Unity Realm right now, so these two must know each other.

Who is coming?

"Alright, you can all go and cultivate!"

Without explaining to the two of them, Xia Yuan simply waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Hua Changfeng looked regretful.

Since Ding Yan left, there has been no one he can talk to.

As for Wan Chen, this guy spends all his time cultivating, which is extremely boring.

Now that someone has finally come, Xia Yuan has chased them away.

However, he didn't dare to say anything, and after bowing, he headed straight for the distance.

That was the training ground that Xia Yuan had arranged for the two of them.

The little fox obediently jumped off the chessboard, slipped under a tree in the yard, curled up, and pretended to sleep while pricking up its ears, curiously watching the movements at the door.

It didn't take long.

"Brother Xia Yuan!"

As a surprised voice rang out, a light and agile figure approached from afar and appeared at the door in the blink of an eye.

"is her!"

far away.

Wan Chen, who was even stronger, immediately recognized the person who had come.

Qin Xue.

He naturally knew Qin Xue.

The two entered Origin Academy in the same year, and Qin Xue was more famous than him.

After all, Qin Xue was a pioneer of the Creation Source Energy Body Tempering Technique.

His contributions on the path to transcendence can be said to be second only to the Martial Sect, the Wind Sect, and the Spirit Sect!
However, Wan Chen did not expect that Qin Xue and Yuan Zu would have such a good relationship.

But soon, his expression returned to normal, and he silently quickened his pace to leave.

Regardless of Qin Xue's relationship with Yuan Zu, it has nothing to do with him now.

the other side.

Qin Xue was dressed in a light blue outfit, her figure was light and graceful, and her appearance was no different from twenty years ago.

At that moment, she wore an undisguised smile.

"Brother Xia Yuan!"

She called out again and ran quickly forward to hug Xia Yuan.

"Alright, alright, you're already a Transcendent Realm expert, why are you still acting like a child!"

Looking at Qin Xue's bright smile, a barely perceptible tenderness flashed in Xia Yuan's eyes.

Forty years is enough for an ordinary person to live most of their life, but for those who embark on the path of the extraordinary, it seems like just a blink of an eye.

The little girl who helped out at Qin Shuai's fish stall back then, with clear eyes and a touch of stubbornness, has now become one of the strongest people in the human race.

"It's just that I haven't seen Brother Xia Yuan in so long!"

Qin Xue let go of his hand, sat down on the stone bench next to him with a smile, and naturally picked up the teacup in front of Xia Yuan and took a sip.

His movements were skillful and natural, as if he had returned to his days in Tanglin Village.
