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

Chapter 295 The Realm of Mountains and Seas, We've Arrived!

That's right. As long as Shen Xing spreads the news of alchemy along with his journey across mountains and seas, there will be almost no need for any additional publicity. Alchemy will immediately resound throughout the entire human civilization.

It's even more exaggerated than the appearance of inscriptions.

Despite the seemingly higher status of weapon refiners, inscription techniques are merely unorthodox methods, while alchemy is related to the essence of martial arts.

In the entirety of human civilization, who doesn't wish to achieve something in martial arts?

Even setting aside things like status, just the thought of longevity is enough to drive most humans crazy.

But precisely because of this, Shen Xing took out the inscription first.

Even now, after careful consideration, he feels it's still too early.

A mere mountain and sea realm cannot control such a force; perhaps even the Eight Realms will come looking for trouble.

He was well aware that some people were already speculating that he or the forces behind him might have discovered a special otherworld, a world with a civilization that had been passed down through generations. Given that otherworlds were still constantly emerging, this was not entirely impossible.

If we bring up alchemy again, it would be tantamount to admitting it.

Furthermore, considering that no one from any so-called "power" has ever appeared by his side, he might even be able to guess that he himself has mastered the method of traveling to other worlds.

This was not something that could be easily concealed.

"Strength is still the most important thing." Shen Xing couldn't remember how many times he had felt this way. Even the joy of being on the verge of conquering the world seemed to have subsided a lot.

It can only be said that the situation he has stirred up is far beyond his current strength and level.

However, this isn't just the case now.

Since he embarked on his cultivation journey, it has always been this way; he has never relied on strength or realm to satisfy his needs.

And so, Shen Xing smoothly arrived at the Four Realms Perfection stage.

The Yuan Power and the spirituality within the soul have been completely integrated. There is no essential difference between the fourth and fifth realms. If one had to say, it would simply be that the soul and Yuan Power have undergone a qualitative change over a long period of time, resulting in the ability to move mountains and overturn seas, truly making one seem like a god or immortal.

Therefore, this level of attainment is not a major problem for Shen Xing at all.

That's exactly what happened.

After making only a few adjustments, he found that the bottleneck had loosened to some extent, and he only needed a qualitative change to reach a certain level to break through immediately.

There's no need to say anything more; just go into seclusion.

After explaining a few more things, Shen Xing stayed in the secret realm, preparing for his breakthrough.

He even held a sixth-grade pill in his hand.

It's still a dragon!

This pill is Sha Ting's apology. Even for Sha Ting, finding such a pill would have required a great deal of effort, but it is precisely because of this that his sincerity is evident.

At this moment, just holding this pill in one's hand, it exudes a breathtaking aura, as if this small pill contains the entire sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, while a golden dragon coils above the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, making the whole thing look like an indescribable work of art.

At this level, the elixir has even begun to subtly develop a kind of spirituality.

This spirituality does not refer to the birth of consciousness, but rather to the ability to maximize the benefits to the user when ingested; it is the true elixir of life.

It is said that there is even a sixth-grade pill that can remain in the body of the user for hundreds of years, slowly taking effect according to needs. Even martial artists in the body cultivation stage can take it directly without worrying about exploding and dying.

Of course, the pill in Shen Xing's hand right now isn't that magical.

But it's more than enough for breakthroughs.

Shen Xing swallowed it whole.

In an instant, streams of heat surged into his body and merged into his soul. There was no explosive sensation, but after he began to attempt a breakthrough, it was like waves rising out of nowhere, one after another, endless and with great power.

As a result, his previously perfect bottleneck was constantly oscillating.

A qualitative change then occurs.

First, the soul and body are more perfectly integrated. When one reaches the Mountain and Sea realm, some of the original fatal parts are no longer fatal, except for the brain. Even if one is cut in half, one can recover with one's powerful vitality. To kill a Mountain and Sea realm being, one must use Yuan power to directly erase the soul along with the vitality.

Secondly, there is the qualitative change in the Yuan Power itself.

The Yuan Power of the Mountain and Sea Realm is not particularly mysterious, but it is stronger and more powerful than imagined. Even a wisp of it has immense power, being ten or even a hundred times more concentrated than the Yuan Power of the Spirit Realm. This is why Shen Xing was able to fight against the Mountain and Sea Realm with his armor, because the inscriptions on the armor are designed to enhance Yuan Power.

The phrase "mountains and seas" also carries the meaning of "embracing mountains and seas".

Finally, there is the qualitative change in the soul.

There's not much to say about that; it's simply stronger. A Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator's divine sense can cover a range of hundreds of kilometers, representing a qualitative leap compared to the Spirit Realm.

These changes are even more exaggerated when applied to Shen Xing.

He had never before felt so clearly about his own inner strength as he did now.

It's like before, I was a sponge that had absorbed all the water. Even though it was already full to the limit, the sponge itself was only that big. But now, the sponge is constantly growing. The power that was almost overflowing in the past is rapidly dissolving into a completely new realm.

The path that had reached its limit suddenly opened up once again.

A month later, Shen Xing slowly opened his eyes and carefully experienced this new power!

We've arrived at the Realm of Mountains and Seas!

Don't be fooled by his seemingly indiscriminate killing of Shan Hai before; that feeling is completely different from now. It's not just the difference between wearing armor and not wearing armor, but more importantly, a completely new understanding of life and the world.

At this moment, he could even clearly see the bacteria floating in the air with the naked eye!

Furthermore, with its powerful divine sense, it can clearly perceive events happening hundreds of kilometers away, or even nearly a thousand kilometers away.

It's as if the whole world, the whole earth, is under my control.

He could even sit here and, with a thought, turn a martial artist who was robbing others nearly a thousand kilometers away into ashes, or command lightning to strike him into charcoal!

From any perspective, he was now not much different from the immortals in the myths and legends of his previous life.

Shen Xing didn't know if other realms of mountains and seas possessed such power, but their divine sense was definitely inferior to his, even if they were at the peak of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, the main benefit of the growth in spiritual consciousness came from the Heavenly Grade "Sun-Holding Dragon".

Shen Xing was able to clearly feel that his current strength was roughly equivalent to that of the armor he had worn before, not just in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of spiritual sense, perception, and other aspects.

But if he were to fight naked, he would probably be able to fight against a powerful being from another world who had reached the peak of the Mountain and Sea realm.

However, this only applies to ordinary opponents; against those with exceptionally strong foundations, victory is not guaranteed.

However, this is quite normal. As his cultivation level increases, he may not be able to maintain his advantage in terms of foundation. Unless he continues to increase his foundation, he will need more than just a top-grade cultivation technique. He will need to further improve the level of the Myriad Dragons Technique.

Shen Xing thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a good idea for a while.

Fortunately, the armor can continue to be upgraded. Once the new armor is designed and manufactured, even if it cannot deal with the Sun and Moon Realm, it should not be a problem to kill a Perfected Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator with one strike.

Now, it's time to test the effects of the pills.

Shen Xing first took out a low-grade fifth-rank Nine-Patterned Golden Dragon Pill. This was the most abundant type of pill he had at the moment, as he had never used it all before. Even now, many fifth-rank alchemists were still continuously refining pills for him.

But after swallowing it in one gulp, his complexion turned rather pale.

In his mind, it was like a stone being thrown into a pond; although it created splashes and ripples, the effect didn't last long.

When the Spirit Realm is at its peak, it takes a whole day to refine one, but now, no matter what, it can't last even an hour or two.

It can only be said that his Yuan Power strength and cultivation speed are far superior to those of ordinary Mountain and Sea cultivators.

While it's possible to take large quantities of Nine-Patterned Golden Dragon Pills, it's unnecessary. In terms of both efficiency and quantity, it's the least cost-effective option.

Shen Xing then tested the other pills in his hand.

Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of pills in the previous period of time, and the sixth-grade alchemist of the Great Shang Dynasty personally refined pills for him, so he did have a considerable number of pills on hand.

After trying it out, we found both good and bad news.

The good news is that while he can refine sixth-grade pills, they must be mild in nature, and one pill should be enough for him to refine for two or three months, which is not as exaggerated as before. As for high-grade fifth-grade pills, although they are only enough for four days of refining, their efficiency is not much weaker than that of mild sixth-grade pills, so they can be used just as well.

The bad news is that the lower and middle grades of fifth-grade pills are completely unusable; they not only cannot replenish the essence, but their refining efficiency is also very low.

In other words, from now on, he will need to use at least fifth-grade high-quality pills, and at the very least sixth-grade pills, for his cultivation.

"Where did all these pills come from?" Shen Xing had a headache.

He thought of the place Shang Lian had mentioned before; it seemed that the only way to solve this problem was to go there.

But behind that lies a true holy site.

The two jade talismans in his hand were only enough for two uses.

"Send someone ahead to see if we can investigate further, including the Ancient Sword Sect." Shen Xing narrowed his eyes.

Although the Ancient Sword Sect's previous actions seemed to be an attempt to curry favor, Shen Xing was not so easily swayed by his decision to target the Ancient Sword Sect.

Moreover, compared to that holy land that gathers alchemists and weapon refiners, the holy land of the Ancient Sword Sect has already shown signs of being discovered.

Once the new armor is finished, it'll be a good time to test its new capabilities.

However, the most important thing right now is to learn all the martial arts concepts of the fifth realm!

Upon reaching the fifth realm, the learning device can still play a significant role, but it has become extremely valuable, even more so than a spaceship. This is especially true for learning devices that enable the study of Earth-grade martial arts intent; some families even use such devices to recruit Mountain and Sea Realm experts.

This is something that money can't buy; many of the materials in this learning device come from another world.

If it were the old Shen Xing, it probably wouldn't have been as easy to get her.

However, he is currently in perfect health.

They had even bought one months ago and delivered it to the spaceship.

Let's begin learning right now.

Because of this, some people in the research institute already knew that he had broken through to the Mountain and Sea realm. Even though it hadn't spread widely, the news had already caused quite a stir within the institute.

If the Spirit Realm has already reached the "upper echelons" of the Human Federation, then the Mountain and Sea Realm, with its many renowned figures, are capable of supporting a sizable battle group or occupying important positions within major battle groups and families.

In families like the Nangong family, a direct descendant of the Shan Hai lineage can be directly ranked among the direct descendants of the Nangong family.

Therefore, Nangong Jinyi's parents were only at the Spirit Realm.

This shows the true status of mountains and seas.

More importantly, Shen Xing only took less than five years to go from cultivation to mastering the Mountain and Sea realms!

Five years!

This is the reality that truly shocked everyone at the research institute.

"The earliest publicly recorded breakthrough in the Mountain and Sea realm by the Human Federation was nineteen years ago!" Xiaoling couldn't control her excitement at all. She rarely lost her composure like this now, but she just couldn't control herself.

This is more than just breaking records for my own boss.

This is completely beyond our comprehension!

It has even reached a point that no one can imagine, and no one can imagine what kind of future he has!

Seventh Realm? Eighth Realm?

No, perhaps more than that!

With such high expectations, everyone in the research institute who knew about it was incredibly excited!

Shen Xing didn't actually do anything special within the research institute, but afterwards, his prestige among his subordinates skyrocketed! Even the most outstanding, confident, and self-assured geniuses had to completely submit to him!

This is the era of martial arts, and the direct status brought about by achievements in martial arts!

Shen Xing understood this point, which is why he didn't try to hide his cultivation level, even though he knew that this news was not suitable to be spread at this time.

"Keep this confidential." Shen Xing looked at Xiao Ling and gave this order. "Only a few people inside the spaceship should know this. Don't let the news spread."

"Yes!" Xiaoling replied abruptly.

Her boss's future has once again exceeded her expectations, but that's precisely why she has to do her best in everything she does.

I believe many people in the research institute feel the same way.

This martial arts potential alone is enough to solve many internal problems that would otherwise be unavoidable at their root.

Kavenka is amazing TT
