In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 256 The Spirit Realm, We've Arrived!

In that instant, a large amount of unrefinable Yuan energy surged from his body. The dragon nature it contained even caused fine scales to appear on his body, and his blood was boiling. This was not a description; some blood dripping from broken blood vessels boiled and evaporated rapidly the moment it dripped.

At this moment, even a single drop of Shen Xing's blood contained extraordinary power.

However, under such immense pressure of elemental energy, the effects are naturally significant.

The soul and body, which were originally only barely together, merged completely in a certain instant. It was an extremely profound feeling, as if one's consciousness had truly entered every cell of one's body, and even every wisp of primordial energy.

For the first time, I felt like my body belonged to me.

It's as if, before this, the body was merely a shell that carried the soul, and the elemental energy was just the electricity flowing within that shell; the soul was the true self.

But now, the soul, which was originally limited to the "soft body," has been integrated into every cell, giving this body a true life.

The most significant change is that from the moment of integration, that part of the Yuan Power becomes incredibly fluid. It is not driven by the soul, but rather as if it is an integral part of oneself.

Just like pressing a button to lift your hand and pick up a knife, the difference between pressing a button and lifting your hand is the knife itself.

Shen Xing had already figured it out.

This is "spirituality"!

"From this step onward, this body is the embodiment of will." Shen Xing carefully felt the wonderful transformation of life once again.

We've finally arrived at the Spirit Realm.

However, this is only a crucial step; it will take some time to complete the process completely.

But once this step is completed, one has actually entered the spiritual realm.

Even with Shen Xing's resources, it took him a full seven days to complete this step.

The moment he opened his eyes again, the surrounding area's energy surged, and this was merely the effect of his will. Shen Xing looked in a certain direction, and in an instant, a vast expanse of pale golden fire appeared, lacking scorching heat but containing terrifying power.

Shen Xing also clearly recognized the essential differences between the Spirit Realm and the Three Realms.

The power of the soul and will has been completely integrated with the physical body and the elemental energy.

Both physical strength and the influence of elemental energy have seen a leap forward.

At this moment, Shen Xing even felt that he could crush his past self with one hand.

It's important to understand that his basic strength was already comparable to that of a Spirit Realm expert in the Human Federation, but now—

"Unless they are equally gifted, ordinary late-stage Spirit Realm cultivators, or even those at the peak of the Spirit Realm, are no match for me." Shen Xing was somewhat amazed as he felt his own strength.

At this level, the only ones who can truly threaten him are those above the mountains and seas, or peerless geniuses!

He even felt that Principal Hu Yanzhong might not be his match before his breakthrough!

In just a year and a half, it has already reached this level.

"If we add armor, I wonder if we'd have the ability to fight against the mountains and seas of this world," Shen Xing muttered to himself, sounding rather impatient.

However, he also knew that ordinary armor would definitely not work.

It must have an inscription!

In that case, perhaps it's time.

After spending three days familiarizing himself with the power of the Spirit Realm, Shen Xing returned to his spaceship.

The first thing they did was summon the head of the armor design department.

His name is Xu Qing, and he is the elite that Xiao Ling was keen to recruit. Now he has joined the research institute, and his main job is to purchase and arrange various materials and equipment for manufacturing armor.

Recruiting this person took some effort.

Xiaoling, by guaranteeing in Shen Xing's name that there was technology here that could change the entire field of armored vehicle technology, successfully lured this person in.

Of course, I didn't lie to him.

After learning about the existence of runes, this researcher, who was obsessed with armor, became extremely excited and almost forgot to eat and sleep.

Compared to Nangong Jinyi, who was in charge of the weapons department, he was undoubtedly much more excited.

However, this is normal. Nangong Jinyi is not a pure researcher. It is more because of her familiarity with machinery and her own strength that she is qualified to be a weapon refiner as a side job.

At this moment, when Shen Xing called Xu Qing over, he found that Xu Qing's energy was obviously not very good.

He is also a congenital patient, yet he can show such obvious fatigue, which shows the extent of his research.

"This won't do," Shen Xing said, his brows furrowing slightly. "It seems we need to establish a strict schedule. You should also understand that the essence of inscriptions is still martial arts intent. Without strength, how can one study the profound inscriptions?"

"I don't need to learn it myself, I just need to analyze and study its characteristics and effects," Xu Qing laughed. "If Boss is willing to assign me a blacksmith who is proficient in all kinds of inscriptions, I guarantee I can design a terrifying armor for Boss, far more terrifying than any armor we have now!"

"Oh?" Shen Xing's eyes lit up slightly.

The fact that such a researcher would describe it as "terrifying" speaks volumes about his confidence.

However, this is actually the truth.

With his talent, it would be difficult for him to go very far in martial arts. His advantage lies in his understanding of technology and his mastery of armor.

At this point, Shen Xing stopped wasting words and said directly, "Then I'll give you people like that, and there's more than one."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding, but quickly became overjoyed. "Is what the boss said true?"

"Of course, but there will be a price to pay," Shen Xing said seriously. "I need you to take some people to another absolutely secret place. There, you are not allowed to leave, and all communication will be monitored. Your only task is to design and manufacture armor. Only when I reach the Seventh Realm will there be a possibility of lowering the secrecy level and returning."

That's right, Shen Xing is preparing to take a group of researchers to another world.

When he was still weak, such a thing would have been unimaginable, but with his current strength and foundation, he would not be considered weak in any world.

Moreover, cutting off information exchange is incredibly easy.

The teleportation channel is entirely in my hands, and the martial arts strength of these researchers is not strong. There is even less to worry about on the other side. To put it bluntly, the other world is different from the human federation, and news is not so easy to spread. Moreover, my current strength, coupled with my control over the Xuanlong Secret Realm, is enough to maintain a high level of secrecy.

To put it bluntly, once I reach the seventh or even eighth realm, it won't matter if I'm exposed to another world.

In this situation, achieving a certain level of technical exchange is necessary to bring greater benefits.

Xu Qing readily agreed to Shen Xing's words: "No problem, as long as the boss can regularly send a portion of my income to my parents."

Clearly, as researchers, they were well-prepared for this isolated and confidential environment.

Compared to higher levels of technological development, this is nothing at all.

Xu Qing is a technician who is truly obsessed with research.

"You decide on the candidate. Talk to them privately and explain the situation clearly." Shen Xing nodded. "I'll take you there afterwards."

"Okay." Xu Qing immediately turned around, clearly eager to get started.

Clearly, quite a few researchers eventually agreed, and there was even some competition among them. Not everyone was as obsessed with research as Xu Qing. However, Shen Xing also promised to provide each person with cultivation resources that would give them a 50% chance of breaking through to the Spirit Realm.

Once you reach the Spirit Realm, you have a lifespan of a thousand years. If you add in various life-saving technologies, living for fifteen or sixteen hundred years is not a difficult thing.

This is practically the "ultimate dream" of the vast majority of humanity in the Federation of Humans. Without a higher pursuit of will, such a long period of time would be enough for a person to get tired of living and accept death.

Such treatment is nothing if it takes hundreds of years to achieve.

Indeed, in the eyes of many of them, Shen Xing would only need two or three hundred years to break through to the seventh realm, after all, he is the number one prodigy of the academy's home planet.

So what finally appeared before Shen Xing was a team of as many as forty or fifty people. Because it was a closed research environment, it included not only armor disciplines but also other disciplines, and they were able to complete the manufacture of armor from scratch.

Shen Xing didn't stand on ceremony and took these people directly into space.

The next moment, the entire flying vehicle was sent into the Xuanlong Secret Realm!

The moment it appeared, everyone was stunned by the intense energy it exuded.

The energy here is so rich that even the battlefields of other worlds cannot compare!

Here, even those who only practice sporadically can easily break through to the Innate Realm, or even the Third Realm!

"Everyone," Shen Xingxian used his authority to block Huang Xingjie and the others' perception of this place, then said in a deep voice, "This is an alternate world that I control independently. The key point is that this alternate world contains civilization—a powerful martial arts civilization!"

Everyone stared at Shen Xing, and suddenly froze.

It wasn't until much later that a commotion suddenly broke out.

"It's a martial arts civilization!"

"I knew it! I knew it!"

"How could another world not have a martial arts civilization?!"

"This discovery will shake the entire Federation, no, it will shake the entire human civilization!"

"What is the civilization like here? What shape is it?"

"."

It's no wonder these people are so excited. The question of whether civilizations, especially martial arts civilizations, exist in other worlds has been a matter of great concern to the entire Human Federation for the past two thousand years.

Even among researchers, a large number firmly believe that civilizations must exist in other worlds.

However, the news was blocked by higher-ups.

For these people, this kind of thing is extremely exciting.

Civilization means knowledge and inheritance!
