Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

(As the new year approaches, the author wishes all readers a happy new year, all the best, and may the year bring you wealth and all your dreams come true!)

"Is this the result of an increase in luck?"

Half a month has passed since the Cheng family was completely wiped out.

During this period, Luo Lingtian and the others did not rush to cross the sea to go overseas to besiege their nemesis Xiao Chen. Instead, they calmed down and devoted themselves to cultivation in Lingtian Manor, focusing on improving their cultivation.

That morning, at the training ground of Lingtian Manor, powerful and unparalleled internal energy surged into the sky one after another, the strong wind making the surrounding trees rustle and dust fly.

After all the imposing auras gradually subsided and everything returned to calm, Zhao Hao was the first to open his eyes, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment, and he spoke.

Indeed, in just half a month, Zhao Hao's cultivation made another breakthrough, successfully entering the late stage of the Innate Realm.

Moreover, Zhao Hao was not the only one who broke through to a higher realm this time.

Mo Yu and Ye Fan also broke through their bottlenecks, and their cultivation levels steadily reached the early stage of the Celestial Realm.

Luo Yuntian's cultivation level also improved simultaneously, reaching the mid-stage of Dan Jin. However, compared to others, his improvement speed was slightly slower, and he is now considered the weakest among them.

The reason for this might be that he participated in the encirclement and suppression of Xiao Chen relatively few times and exerted relatively little effort, thus failing to receive much of the blessing of fortune.

Or perhaps it is closely related to his own aptitude. After all, although he can be considered a chosen one, strictly speaking, he is just a chosen one with a limited vision, like those in the typical novels about true and false young masters.

If Luo Lingtian hadn't transmigrated and replaced the original mediocre Luo Lingtian, Luo Yuntian probably would never have come into contact with the other side of the world, such as martial arts and martial arts, and would have been trapped in worldly grudges, living a mediocre life.

As for Luo Lingtian, the core of the group, his strength has reached a new level, directly stepping into the mid-stage of Gang Jin.

"Otherwise, what other explanation could there be?"

Luo Lingtian shrugged and said, "Luck is something that is intangible and intangible. Since we don't have the ability to observe luck, we naturally can't tell how strong our own luck is."

But don't forget, we've suppressed Xiao Chen so many times, cutting off his opportunities and destroying his power. Since Heaven is on our side, it can't let us work for nothing; it has to give us some real benefits.

"In the end, we are the ones He truly favors. It is only natural that our fortunes have improved and our cultivation has increased dramatically."

Mo Yu smiled and said with deep feeling, "Now I understand a little why in those fantasy cultivation novels, the era in which the protagonist exists is always called the golden age."

It turns out that it wasn't that the geniuses of that era were inherently stronger than those of other eras, but rather that, blessed by destiny, the cultivation speed of the geniuses of all heavens improved far faster than that of their peers in other eras, even achieving leapfrog breakthroughs.

Since learning that the Heavenly Dao truly exists in this world, and that the Heavenly Dao is even intricately connected with Luo Lingtian, Mo Yu has specifically sought out many novels to study.

I must say, the settings in those novels are quite interesting, especially in fantasy cultivation works, which frequently feature descriptions of "golden age" and "the rise of geniuses".

Compared to the current reality, Mo Yu felt more and more that they were living in the golden age of this world.

Think of the older generation of martial artists. Take his father, for example. When he was in his late thirties or early forties, he spent half his life cultivating diligently before barely reaching the Innate Realm.

His grandfather also spent decades to get to this point.

But what about himself?

At just over twenty years old, he had already broken through to the Innate Realm, and now he is advancing with unstoppable momentum, directly stepping into the Celestial Realm.

A Celestial Realm expert in his twenties—if this were a dozen or so generations ago, those ancestors who had devoted their lives to cultivation would have never even dared to dream of such a thing.

More importantly, in the Lingtian Manor alone, he is not the only one who has reached the Celestial Realm in his twenties; Ye Fan is the same.

Even Zhao Hao's late-stage Innate Realm and Luo Yuntian's mid-stage Dan Jin would have been considered peerless geniuses far surpassing their peers in previous eras.

Such a drastic difference in the speed of improvement made him believe that luck, such an ethereal thing, could truly and tangibly influence a martial artist's cultivation path.

"I have a feeling that this is probably the limit of how quickly we can improve our cultivation."

Ye Fan spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of composure.

He was naturally delighted with the rapid improvement in his cultivation level. After all, the stronger he was, the more confident he would be in dealing with Xiao Chen, and the better he would be in protecting the people around him in the future.

However, he also keenly noticed that the rapid improvement he had been experiencing had gradually slowed down, and the speed at which his true energy was being condensed was not as fast as before.

"Not necessarily, but a slower rate of improvement is normal."

Luo Yuntian shook his head and explained calmly, "It's hard to say whether your cultivation speed has reached its limit yet, but it's inevitable that it will slow down, because the Heavenly Dao has deliberately locked the upper limit of your strength improvement."

"What happened?"

Zhao Hao immediately frowned, and his expression became more serious.

He was also a transmigrator, and had read more novels than Mo Yu and Ye Fan combined, and they were all more exciting, with all sorts of bizarre settings he knew by heart.

Upon hearing Luo Yuntian's words, many scenes from novels immediately flashed through his mind: the Heavenly Dao that had developed self-awareness would deliberately suppress or even nurture the living beings in the world.

Once the creatures have grown to a certain extent, they will be harvested every so often to seize their cultivation and fortune.

"Don't be nervous. He is limiting your cultivation level not to harvest us, but to control the intensity of our battle with Xiao Chen."

Luo Lingtian keenly sensed Zhao Hao's concerns and smiled to reassure him, explaining, "Think about it, if our cultivation levels increase without limit, the destructive power of our battle when we truly fight Xiao Chen to the death will be immense."

The damage it causes to the world at that time will likely exceed the limits of what Heaven can bear.

"As long as we can successfully eliminate Xiao Chen, He will naturally lift this blockade. At that time, what realm we can reach will depend entirely on our own aptitude, abilities, and the upper limit of power that this world itself can bear."

"I see, I understand now."

Zhao Hao nodded slowly, the solemn look on his face gradually fading, and his worries were completely put aside.

He knew in his heart that the battle between experts at the Celestial Realm was already terrifying, and they were no longer afraid of conventional firearms under the threat of nuclear bombs.

While missiles can indeed injure even a Celestial Realm expert, they would only work if they hit the target head-on.

A Celestial Realm expert isn't stupid. With extreme power control and reaction speed, how could they not run when they sensed a missile attack?

As for the edge shockwave generated by the missile explosion, it is nothing to a Celestial Realm expert. At most, it will cause a turbulence in their blood and qi, but it will not cause any substantial damage.

If their strength were to advance further and reach the level of terrestrial immortals, what a world-destroying scene it would be if they fought each other.

Zhao Haoguang felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

More importantly, once one reaches the realm of a terrestrial immortal, one can barely withstand even a nuclear bomb.

Although they would still be injured by the core power of a nuclear bomb, and even a powerful being at the terrestrial immortal level would surely die if hit head-on by two nuclear bombs in succession.

But unless that land deity is an idiot or a stubborn fool, he would never be so foolish as to take a nuclear attack head-on.

While a nuclear bomb's wide-area explosion could injure even terrestrial deities, truly killing them would be an incredibly difficult task.

After all, if the first nuclear bomb fails to kill or severely injure a powerful individual, they will become wary and immediately flee. It will then be much more difficult to locate them and harm them later.

Moreover, nuclear weapons are not something that can be launched at will.

Will other countries allow you to launch nuclear missiles at will?

If that terrestrial deity happened to be located on your country's territory, and in the heart of a densely populated city, would you dare to launch a nuclear missile?

At that point, let alone killing powerful individuals, the entire city would likely be razed to the ground, and countless innocent people would lose their lives.

Therefore, after hearing Luo Lingtian's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if Heaven had not locked their cultivation limits and allowed them to improve without restriction, their future battles with Xiao Chen would likely have been much more troublesome.

"If that's the case, when do you plan to make your move against Xiao Chen?"

Mo Yu's smile faded, his expression turned serious, and he asked.

In the past two weeks, they haven't simply been secluded in their rooms to cultivate diligently. At the same time, they have secretly dispatched a large number of people to closely monitor Xiao Chen's every move overseas, without letting their guard down for a moment.

They also learned that before his death, the old Dragon King had passed on all the power he had cultivated throughout his life to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen has now successfully broken through to the Celestial Realm, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Even so, no one showed any fear, for they had three Celestial Realm experts on their side.

Moreover, with Luo Lingtian, a top expert in the mid-stage of Gang Jin, in charge, dealing with Xiao Chen, who had just broken through to the Celestial Realm, was a piece of cake and a sure thing.

Even if Luo Lingtian didn't make a move, the two of them working together would be enough to easily crush Xiao Chen and kill him completely.

The reason they specifically asked Luo Lingtian for his opinion was out of necessity; their relationship with Luo Lingtian was no secret, and the foreign powers were all well aware of it.

They dare not go abroad easily now. If they act alone, and are targeted by foreign forces that are hostile to Luo Lingtian, dying on the battlefield would be a good thing, but it would be a glorious death.

But if they were captured alive, that would be a huge problem. They themselves would become the biggest bargaining chip for foreign forces to threaten Luo Lingtian.

Therefore, if they want to successfully set sail to deal with Xiao Chen, they absolutely cannot act alone. They must follow Luo Lingtian's arrangements and set off together to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
