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

Chapter 270 How did I end up encountering this jinx!

In fact, even without Xu Qing saying much, Shen Xing could see the potential of this technology.

It's remarkable just to use it on a spaceship.

It is entirely possible to build a spaceship or warship that is more powerful than the current spaceships, or even simply by adding a mobile array.

Just imagining adding the Xuanlong Secret Realm's grand formation to a spaceship reveals its potential—it's capable of contending with beings at the seventh realm.

The Human Federation's current spaceships may be able to surpass the Seventh Realm in terms of weapon power, such as the Star Destroyer Cannon. However, such weapons are completely different from the methods of Seventh and Eighth Realm powerhouses. They lack the extraordinary mystery and are only purely energy-level destructive. They are relatively easy to use to destroy positions, but they are much weaker when used to deal with powerful individuals.

But if you add such profound techniques, it will be completely different.

However, just as Shen Xing was thinking, Xu Qing, who had calmed down, suddenly said, "Boss, researching this is a huge project, and it's not something I'm good at. I'm afraid we'll have to form another team."

"That's true, the research institute is still somewhat short-staffed." Shen Xing nodded, also realizing this.

For him, the Academy's home planet is actually the best talent base, especially since he has now entered the fourth realm and can stand on his own.

However, no matter how talented the people on the Academy's home planet are, they are still just geniuses, not fully formed elites.

People like Xu Qing currently only have the technology and ability to design armor for the fourth and fifth realms. If they want to design armor for the sixth realm, they still need to study.

As this is a completely new technology, it's likely that finding the right people for such a large-scale formation won't be easy.

"Then let's put it aside for now," Shen Xing said after thinking for a moment.

He was already considering whether to conduct collaborative research with other forces, but if he were to do so, he would have to be fully prepared.

Putting everything else aside, at least initially, the entire spaceship, and even the entire research institute, should ideally be kept hidden.

Once you leave the solar system and hide in the universe, no one can find you—intertemporal communication technology doesn't have a location function.

This is also what many clandestine research institutes do.

However, even if it is very well hidden, you still need to make a firm decision and be well prepared.

Shen Xing said no more, turned around to recuperate from his injuries, and then began further cultivation.

In the previous battles, apart from the initial ambush that killed one of the Mountain and Sea Realm experts, he had always been at a disadvantage. There was nothing he could do about it, as even a mid-stage Mountain and Sea Realm expert was much stronger than him, not to mention the other early-stage Mountain and Sea Realm expert.

After donning this new inscribed armor, his strength was slightly greater than that of an average early-stage Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator. If all his abilities, including spatial manipulation, were taken into account, he could definitely fight an early-stage Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator head-on, and even kill them instantly with a sneak attack. The battle just now was the best proof of that. However, compared to a mid-stage Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator, he was still much weaker. But with the help of spatial manipulation, he could hold out for a long time.

This is Shen Xing's current strength.

To be honest, this was the first time he had such a clear understanding of his own abilities.

It can only be said that combat does have great benefits, especially for someone like him whose strength is improving rapidly.

"Once the armor is repaired, I'll settle accounts with that person. Come to think of it, I don't even know his name yet." Shen Xing swallowed a pill, closed his eyes, and focused all his energy on cultivation.

At this moment, the mid-stage Sha Ting Shan Hai, whose name he did not know, was collecting the remains of the dead with his fellow disciple.

The eyes that were not yet closed were filled with immense resentment.

This is only natural.

A being of the Mountain and Sea realm, with a lifespan of three thousand years and a lofty status, was so easily ambushed and killed. Moreover, with the strength of a Mountain and Sea realm cultivator, even if his life force was cut off and his soul shattered, it would still take at least one or two hours for him to completely perish. This was undoubtedly the most painful final moment.

Even just standing here, you can feel the overwhelming resentment.

"For seventy long years, no one from the Mountain and Sea Realm has perished, yet now someone has died at the hands of a mere Spirit Realm cultivator." The surviving early-stage Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator stared intently at the other man, his eyes filled with lingering fear and rage. "Wang Dong, you should go and kneel down to apologize to your grandmaster!"

That's right, Wang Dong is the owner of this oasis city, and also the mid-stage Mountain and Sea Realm expert who had the first conflict with Shen Xing!

At this moment, Wang Dong's face was pale and ferocious, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

"That person wasn't someone I provoked at all! He even used a fifth-grade magic talisman just now, and with that terrifying armor and the treasure that can traverse space, he's clearly a disciple of some holy land! What makes my Wangdong think he can mess with someone like that!"

Indeed, through this great battle, they have all gained some insight into Shen Xing's true abilities.

But it would have been better if I hadn't misread it.

He can effortlessly wield all sorts of Earth-grade martial arts intents, all of which are dragon-based. The cultivation techniques he practices are at least Heaven-grade, and even his divine soul possesses Heaven-grade intents. Not to mention the methods that even a great formation cannot seal off—they are clearly treasures for protecting the Dao!

Not to mention the terrifying divine armor that could cause a great battle between the Spirit Realm and the Mountain and Sea.

Besides the Holy Land, what other power could have such a figure?

This identity alone filled Wang Dong and his companion with extreme fear—even if they could summon people, the other party could do the same!

Once a saint is summoned, what will they, the Shattrath, use to defend themselves?

"This has nothing to do with me, you can handle it yourself." With that thought, the early-stage cultivator abandoned the promised reward and hurriedly fled.

Shating ruled by rules and regulations, and there was no affection between the fellow disciples.

After this matter spread, it became even more impossible for Wang Dong to summon any other people.

After all, people can come and go as they please. Unless their means of escape can be blocked, what's the point of sending more people?

Wang Dong remained where he was, gritting his teeth, his face contorted. In the end, he abandoned the oasis and sped towards Shating's headquarters.

He had no choice but to go to the Sun and Moon Ancestor!

And then another month passed.

For the past month, Shen Xing has been cultivating, consuming three fifth-grade pills and completely stabilizing the Great Perfection level of the Dragon-Slaying Blade.

In this journey of spiritual practice, there have actually been very few times when I can focus on my practice in peace.

Unfortunately, even now, a mere month of cultivation hasn't brought him any significant improvement in strength. According to his calculations, at this rate, it would take at least three years to reach the mid-stage of the fourth realm.

Three years for the middle stage, three years for the later stage, another three years for perfection, and the final year for breaking through to the Mountain and Sea realm—this is Shen Xing's current plan.

Even with his talent and potential, plus the constant supply of fifth-grade pills, it would still take him a full ten years to have any chance of breaking through to the Mountain and Sea realm.

This is actually an astonishing speed; the current record for the Human Federation is twenty-two years.

Spiritual realms like those of Hu Yanzhong and Principal Hu require one or two hundred years to cultivate.

But Shen Xing still felt it was too slow.

Many things can only be truly done boldly when one is in the midst of mountains and seas, or even the sun and moon.

However, there is no way to rush the path of cultivation.

Therefore, Shen Xing calmed down this time and went to find them again before the armor was repaired.

However, it's about time now.

"After a month of arduous training, it's time to see the results." Shen Xing put on his armor, his mind replaying the previous battle, and he was even somewhat impatient to see his "opponent".

However, when he arrived at Shating, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Missed.

The oasis still exists, and although the city is damaged, it is still under constant repair. However, the city is now being presided over by seven or eight late-stage Spirit Realm cultivators, while the previous mid-stage Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator has disappeared.

"Did it run away?" Shen Xing was slightly annoyed.

However, he didn't remain depressed for long. He simply needed some equally matched opponents to hone his skills and increase his combat experience and techniques.

So, just pick any mountain or sea.

The vast Shating is said to have as many as sixty or seventy experts at the Mountain and Sea Realm, and these are just those on the surface. Their strength is much greater than that of the Tianyuan Sect.

Shen Xing immediately released his fighter jet, which flew in all directions in stealth mode, recording everything in the region.

"Huh?" He was slightly surprised to find that the number of martial artists in this area was much higher than he had imagined.

Moreover, deep within the desert, a vast expanse of primordial energy flows, forming pulses that beat one after another.

"Good heavens, this place looks barren on the surface, but is actually incredibly rich in resources." Shen Xing was quite astonished when he saw the values ​​detected by the detection device.

It's easy to imagine that with such a vast amount of primordial energy, countless rare and precious treasures would inevitably be born.

After all, so-called extraordinary materials are actually materials that have become extraordinary through long-term immersion in primordial energy. The same is true for rare and precious materials. Perhaps many spiritual realms would rather stay here as sand bandits than leave.

From this perspective, being a sand bandit might offer even greater opportunities than being a general or elder in other places.

This Shating is indeed a good target for plunder.

Shen Xing quickly found his new opponent, who was also at the mid-stage of the Mountain and Sea realm. Judging from his Yuan Power value, he was weaker than the previous opponent, making him a suitable opponent.

He flew rapidly in that direction.

Without any unnecessary movements, he simply raised his hand and slashed downwards!

"Where did this coward come from, daring to offend my Sha Ting!" The mountain and sea creature below charged up aggressively, but upon seeing Shen Xing, they were immediately shocked. "It's you?"

"Do you know who I am?" Shen Xing was taken aback.

But this Sha Tingshan Hai left quickly without looking back, as if he didn't even want his own city anymore.

Are you kidding me! How did he end up with this jinx!

The mid-stage cultivator of the Mountain and Sea Realm inwardly groaned, and accelerated his speed once again.

During this time, the news has spread throughout Shating. After all, the fall of a Mountain and Sea Realm expert is a major event!
