I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 678 Traversing the Void? Then let me show you!

"Brother Xia Yuan, was that Wan Chen just now?"

Setting down her teacup, Qin Xue asked curiously.

Her strength has now reached the Unity Realm as well, so she naturally noticed the two who left.

"Ok!"

"It's really him!"

"I heard about his situation as soon as I got back, but I never expected it to be with you, Brother Xia Yuan."

Qin Xue frowned slightly, her tone tinged with surprise.

"Since he has chosen to stay here, he will have no further connection with the outside world."

Xia Yuan shook his head, then smiled and changed the subject.

"I heard you went to Mars, how was it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xue immediately perked up, and a hint of longing involuntarily appeared in her eyes.

"To be honest, Brother Xia Yuan, although I am now at the Unity Realm, this interstellar voyage really made me feel as insignificant as a speck of dust."

"The awe-inspiring sights in the universe are simply beyond words."

She gestured with her hands, trying to describe the scene.

"What we could only see through telescopes and probes before, we can now experience firsthand. The feeling of getting closer and closer to another planet is truly amazing!"

A light shone in Qin Xue's eyes.

"Standing on the surface of Mars, you see a sun much smaller than Earth hanging in the pink sky, with endless red sand dunes in the distance."

"At that moment, I truly realized that we humans had finally taken our first steps out of the cradle."

She looked at Xia Yuan, her tone filled with longing.

"Brother Xia Yuan, you said that once you reach the True Spirit Realm, you'll be able to traverse the void using your own power. What will that feel like?"

"Hehe, you'll understand when you reach the True Spirit Realm!"

Xia Yuan smiled.

He can understand this longing.

When he first entered the universe, he was just like Qin Xue is now.

This is life's instinctive yearning for a wider world.

When the frog at the bottom of the well jumps out of the deep well and witnesses the boundless sky, the shock and longing it feels are indescribable!

"Forget it, I've only just broken through to the Unity Realm!"

"I don't know how long it will take to cultivate to the True Spirit Realm."

Qin Xue pouted.

She had originally hoped that Xia Yuan would satisfy her curiosity, but now it seems that's out of the question!

Seeing Qin Xue's expression, Xia Yuan couldn't help but find it amusing.

What's the point of saying it?
Without experiencing it firsthand, it's like describing the vastness of the sky to a frog at the bottom of a well.

No matter how it is described, it cannot imagine what the real sky looks like.

but
"Alright, I'll take you to experience it for yourself!"

Before she could even finish speaking, Qin Xue felt her surroundings suddenly change.

After a few seconds.

She found herself in the vastness of space, with the blue planet beneath her feet rapidly shrinking.

"what!!!"

Qin Xue instinctively gasped, and her body's energy automatically activated to protect her.

To her surprise, she was able to breathe freely in this vacuum environment, as if an invisible force field was protecting her.

"Don't be nervous, watch carefully."

Xia Yuan's voice rang in her ears, calm and composed.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Xue felt an indescribable power envelop her entire body.

The distant stars began to stretch into streaks of light.

next moment.

Qin Xue's eyes widened.

She watched as the blue planet in front of her rapidly shrank in her field of vision, gradually turning into a blue dot of light, and finally disappearing completely from her sight.

This is so fast!
What shocked her even more was that she did not feel any discomfort at such high speed.

"Is this...this is the power of the True Spirit Realm?"

Qin Xue's voice trembled.

Although she didn't know exactly how fast the two of them were going, seeing Earth disappear in the blink of an eye, Qin Xue knew that it was definitely much faster than the spaceship she was on.

It can be said that only now did she have a direct understanding of Xia Yuan's strength.

She originally thought that after reaching the Unity Realm, there wouldn't be much of a gap between her and her brother Xia Yuan.

But now it is discovered that the so-called Unity Realm is like an ant in the face of such great power.

"How does it feel?"

Xia Yuan's voice remained calm.

Qin Xue gazed at the swirling nebulae outside the porthole, her voice as soft as a dream:

"It feels like a dream."

She saw the sun's starlight stretched into long, blurry lines of light, while the distant nebulae flowed like paint stirred by an invisible hand, displaying dreamlike colors.

At this moment, an unprecedented longing surged in Qin Xue's heart.

One day, she too will be able to walk freely in the void of the universe like this.

……

Seeing the expression on Qin Xue's face, Xia Yuan smiled.

He wasn't simply trying to show off in front of Qin Xue; he wanted to let her truly experience a higher realm of beauty and plant a seed of longing in her heart.

Well, that's it.

"Okay, let's go back!"

As Xia Yuan finished speaking, the surrounding starlight began to reverse.

Qin Xue felt a blur before her eyes, and when she looked again, she found herself back in her familiar courtyard.

The teacups on the stone table were still warm, and the sunlight outside the window was still bright, as if the interstellar travel just now was only a brief dream.

It took Qin Xue a long time to recover from the shock she had just experienced.

Then, she looked at Xia Yuan with anticipation.

"Brother Xia Yuan, after I break through to the True Spirit Realm, will I be like you just now?"

"Hmm, I'm still a tiny bit short of the True Spirit Realm I just reached."

Xia Yuan took a sip of tea, a smile playing on his lips.

Although he didn't show his full strength just now, it's impossible for him to have done something so shortly after breaking through to the True Spirit Realm.

One must reach the seventh stage of True Spirit Transformation to possess such strength. The gap between the seventh stage of True Spirit Transformation and the initial entry into the True Spirit Realm can only be described as an insurmountable chasm.

After reaching the True Spirit Realm, the difference in strength between each subsequent realm is several times greater.

Take speed as an example.

When he first broke through to the True Spirit Realm, he could only reach 20 kilometers per second, but now he can easily exceed 3,000 kilometers per second.

The difference is more than a hundred times.

True Spirit Nine Transformations could kill someone who had just entered the True Spirit Realm without even lifting a finger.

No matter how high one's martial arts level is, in the face of such absolute power, they are no different from ants.

"Alright, stop thinking about it!"

"With your talent, reaching the True Spirit Realm shouldn't be a problem."

"However, the True Spirit Realm only has the initial ability to travel through the stars. To truly achieve interstellar travel, the True Spirit Realm is far from sufficient."

"If you want to go further in the future, you still need to lay a solid foundation in the Unity Realm."

"Okay, I understand, Brother Xia Yuan!"

Qin Xue nodded, her emotions gradually calming down.

……

After chatting briefly with Qin Xue about cultivation, Xia Yuan asked her about her experiences on Mars over the years.

"Hehe, this time we have a total of more than a dozen Grandmasters and more than thirty Grandmasters going to Mars, and the outpost base has already been built."

"Six months later, the second and third batches of extraordinary individuals will arrive one after another to begin establishing permanent residential areas."

As Qin Xue spoke, her eyes gleamed with excitement.

"According to the plan, by the time the Extraordinary Era reaches fifty years, the transformation of some areas will be completely completed, and a small ecosystem capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people will be established."

“I’ve also heard people from the People’s Federation mention the Mars colonization plan before.”

"As for when it will be implemented, I'm not quite sure!"

Xia Yuan was not surprised by this news.

After forty years of development, the total population of the human race has now exceeded 12 billion.

Moreover, the rate of population growth continues to climb.

It is estimated that by the time the Extraordinary Era reaches 100 years, the population will be at least 15 billion.

Such a large population is indeed approaching the limit that Earth can support.

Even with today's technological level, resource allocation and living space are becoming increasingly strained.

Therefore, it is inevitable that some people will migrate to other planets.

As for Xinyuan City, it can only accommodate tens of millions of people at present.

It's practically a drop in the ocean.

Of course, the most important thing is that the environment of the moon and stars is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.

Therefore, the next phase of the project will focus on exploring Mars.

The Human Alliance plans to make Mars capable of supporting hundreds of millions of people by the time the Extraordinary Era reaches 100 years old.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary not only to increase the exploitation of space resources.

More importantly, there needs to be a sufficient number of extraordinary individuals.

This is why the recruitment of extraordinary individuals is being expanded, not only because the time is ripe, but more importantly because it is a necessity for the development of the times.

"Oh, right!"

Just then, Qin Xue seemed to suddenly remember something.

"This time we went to Mars and discovered some very interesting things there."

"Brother Xia Yuan, you'll never guess."

"Oh? What did you find?"

Xia Yuan asked cooperatively, also showing a hint of interest.

"We detected very faint signs of life and a very peculiar energy fluctuation deep within a massive canyon fissure!"

Qin Xue lowered her voice, her tone tinged with mystery.

"We put in a lot of effort to get deep down, and guess what happened?"

Before Xia Yuan could answer, she eagerly continued:

“We discovered energy fluctuations there.”

"Besides that, there is a peculiar kind of moss there! It's not green, but a pale purple like crystals."

"This moss is actually a kind of spiritual plant, capable of surviving by directly absorbing a special mineral from the Martian soil and the meager solar energy."

"Most importantly, they can release a very gentle fluctuation that helps stabilize mental energy!"

"We collected some samples and brought them back. After preliminary research, we found that this 'purple crystal moss' contains very special energy, which seems to have a miraculous effect on nourishing the spirit!"

Qin Xue became more and more excited as she spoke.

"The grandmasters of those academies said that if it could be extracted and made into a potion, it might be possible to refine a supernatural potion that is even more effective than a mental potion."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yuan's eyes.

He wasn't surprised by what Qin Xue said earlier, because he had cultivated there before and left behind quite a few source crystals.

Therefore, the group was naturally able to detect the energy fluctuations.

However, what truly surprised Xia Yuan was that his unintentional act had actually given birth to a spiritual plant.

It can still help cultivate spiritual power.

This is quite rare!
The spiritual potions made by humans today have almost no effect on those who have reached the Unity Realm of spiritual cultivation.

Unfortunately, the spiritual plants used to make spiritual potions have been unable to break through to the fourth rank.

Therefore, it is impossible to produce a level 5 mental energy potion.

Now, a new one has been discovered.

If the two can be combined, they might actually be able to refine a higher-level extraordinary potion.

The human race currently has too few types of extraordinary potions.

There are undoubtedly even fewer that target the mind.

If a new spiritual extraordinary drug can be developed, it would undoubtedly be a major discovery for the entire human race's extraordinary system.

Xia Yuan smiled and looked at Qin Xue, asking:

"Not bad, judging from your appearance, you must have received quite a few rewards!"

"Ok!"

Qin Xue nodded.

Such a discovery naturally deserves a reward.

"My reward is a source energy artifact, but I can only receive it after Sikong Yang and the others have finished."
