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

Chapter 296 Furnace Domain

In conclusion, Shen Xingxin's transformation into Shan Hai has brought about significant changes in many things.

However, after a period of learning martial arts concepts and gradually adapting to this change, Shen Xing realized that breaking through to the Mountain and Sea realm did not fundamentally change the difficulties he faced.

There's nothing we can do about it.

The problems he faced had always exceeded his level of understanding; after all, his needs also exceeded the level he was in.

As a result, his need for force never came from himself.

But even now, there are no weapons in the Human Federation that can rival the Saints.

Unless you really want to take a few people from the Seventh Realm to that world.

This is indeed the only solution Shen Xing can think of right now to deal with those holy sites in the other world and collect further resources.

However, the risks involved cannot be ignored.

Even Wenren Caifeng, who seems to have a good relationship with her, cannot guarantee that she can protect her core interests after taking her to another world.

Simply having control of the passage is not enough.

Shen Xing stayed on the spaceship for almost three months. During those three months, he studied various Five Realms Dragon Martial Arts Intents, including more than seventy Earth-grade techniques and over a hundred Human-grade techniques, while preserving the quality of the Myriad Dragons Technique at the Heaven-grade level.

The Five Realms of Heavenly Rank.

In fact, after practicing the Five Realms Myriad Dragons Technique, Shen Xing could clearly feel that his strength had been further improved.

Even without relying on any martial arts intent, he can still fight against ordinary Mountain and Sea Perfection cultivators.

If he were to don armor, even if he were still no match for the Sun and Moon, ordinary Sun and Moon warriors would likely be unable to defeat him.

With this level of strength, as long as one doesn't face someone at the seventh realm, one already has the ability to protect oneself.

Therefore, Shen Xing decided not to reveal the existence of the other world for the time being, but to try to achieve his goal himself first, since he had two seventh-realm jade talismans as a guarantee of safety.

He arrived in another world once again.

During these three months, he sent out many people to search for the so-called "Holy Land of Alchemy". Even the ancestor of the Great Shang Dynasty sent people, and they did manage to find the boundary of that region, but no one was able to enter.

According to the Great Shang Ancestor, even those at the Sun and Moon Realm cannot enter that place.

So he never thought of going back.

However, Shen Xing did not come away empty-handed during these three months.

Although no personnel went inside, the detection devices he sent out continued to probe the terrain in the fog, using technology to map the location, trying to find a way in through the fog and the great formation.

It must be said that although its formation is powerful, it is more targeted at living beings, and even targets the soul.

There really is a nemesis when facing this kind of detection device.

If Shen Xing hadn't been careful enough, he would have deciphered the mystery a month ago.

Even with the utmost care, after three months, the problem has been solved in almost the same way.

At this moment, Shen Xing was in the base station he had set up, looking at the monitoring device in front of him.

He wasn't the only one.

Shang Lian and Bai Yu were also standing behind him.

That's right, these two are also his assistants, and they are very interested, especially Shang Lian, who is extremely drawn to this place because of the relationship with the Great Shang Ancestor.

Considering there might be times when they would be needed, Shen Xing didn't mind having them involved.

In fact, with his current strength, it would be perfectly logical for him to directly absorb these two forces and make them his subordinate organizations. They themselves had already decided to stick with him.

"The fog has dissipated!" Shang Lian suddenly shouted, her voice filled with excitement.

In the scene, the dense fog, which was so thick that it even felt viscous, finally dissipated completely.

A vast world unfolded before them all.

To Shen Xing's slight surprise, the entire sky was completely covered by a thick fog, but instead of a dark and gloomy sky, there were more than a dozen huge "suns" hanging high in the sky, constantly emitting light and heat.

"It's the Heavenly Furnace Fire!" Shang Lian exclaimed even more excitedly. "There are seventeen of them, six more than when our ancestor was there six thousand years ago!"

Shen Xing had already heard about this from Shang Lian.

It is said to be a furnace fire suspended high in the sky, which anyone, regardless of their cultivation level, can draw down directly from the sky when refining pills or forging weapons.

At the same time, these furnaces are also an important source for infusing and cultivating the spiritual herbs on the ground, in conjunction with the earth's spiritual energy.

However, even though he already knew, Shen Xing was still somewhat surprised when he actually saw this scene.

Because these things are not as simple as nuclear fusion or artificial suns; they are pure extraordinary technology. The light they emit is filled with special elemental energy, not to mention that it can be drawn down at will.

At least the Human Federation does not have such technology, nor does the Human Federation's planting sites in the other world.

But Shen Xing had no doubt that if the Human Federation obtained such technology, it could do even better!

A true expansion of production, or even a strengthening effect!

This made Shen Xing value this place even more, because he finally saw a real civilization applicable to "production" in another world.

Throughout history, the martial arts civilization of this other world has been built on plunder. Even elixirs are made by plundering the resources of heaven and earth. All martial arts concepts, including inscriptions, are used to make weapons and everything related to combat.

It was only here that he truly saw the extraordinary technology that could increase productivity.

From the perspective of the Federation of Humanities, this is the most important thing.

It is not important to any one person, but to the entire civilization, and ultimately it will benefit individuals.

However, although Shen Xing valued it more and was full of expectations, he was not too excited, after all, he had only just begun to understand this place.

As the probe went deeper, the first thing Shen Xing saw was a vast expanse of farmland.

Yes, fields.

And it stretches as far as the eye can see.

However, what was planted there was not food, but all kinds of spiritual herbs. The light of the inscriptions surged constantly. These were obviously not inscriptions for combat or defense, because there was clearly visible energy surging between these spiritual herbs and the inscriptions.

Clearly, this is a method used to cultivate medicinal herbs.

Shen Xing wasn't surprised to see this, but he once again marveled at the power of the technology.

After all, it was expected.

He paid more attention to the people working in the fields. These people were responsible for infusing some runes with Yuan energy, and some of them were even using various divine weapons and magical artifacts that did not appear to have any function but were clearly not for combat to process the spiritual herbs.

According to the detection results from the detection device, the people in these fields are at least at the Spirit Realm level!

In other words, this place is clearly using the spiritual realm as the most basic labor site!

Shen Xing was genuinely astonished this time; even the Human Federation wouldn't have reached this level.

However, when the detection device arrived in the first city, he realized that it might not be as he had thought. There were obviously a large number of people below the Spirit Realm in this city, and they even made up the majority of the population. They were wearing uniforms, and most of them were walking hurriedly with focused expressions. Some of them were also talking loudly with others. Judging from the sounds collected by the detection device, they were discussing knowledge related to alchemy and spiritual medicine.

Clearly, Shen Xing had already figured it out without Shang Lian even needing to remind him.

These are all students and disciples.

As expected, those qualified to cultivate spiritual herbs in the wild are actually from the Spirit Realm, while those below the Spirit Realm can only stay in the city to study.

But this also shows that this place is indeed systematically cultivating successors.

However, whether this training is the same as that of a sect or more akin to the "school" training of the Human Federation remains to be seen.

However, as the investigation deepened, especially with the monitoring of various conversations among the people, Shen Xing's brows furrowed.

Because, in these people's names, this city is prominently referred to as "Academy".

Yes, that's already exceptionally clear.

Although it has the name of an academy and the teaching is not just simple master-disciple instruction, but a class-based system, all students in the academy can only work within the framework of this "Furnace Heaven Domain" and are not allowed to leave at will.

This is another typical rule of a sect.

Sects cultivate talent for themselves, while schools serve the entire civilization and society.

However, this so-called "Furnace Heaven Domain" has already formed its own small society, which is why it looks so different.

At least in this respect, the development of martial arts civilization was indeed being accelerated by human intervention.

Shen Xing remained silent, then focused on understanding how this place managed to gather so many talented individuals skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting.

Investigating this matter did indeed take some effort.

After all, it's not easy to ask questions about the detection device.

But after observing for several days, Shen Xing still managed to find some clues.

Some students are newcomers who grew up in another place. They went through layers of selection to identify their talents and were then sent here to build their foundation and embark on the path of martial arts.

These students didn't know where it was, but it was clearly a place where "newcomers" had gathered.

It is also the place where this seemingly completely isolated Furnace Heaven Domain is connected to the outside world.

"How did your ancestor get in back then?" Shen Xing turned to ask Shang Lian.

"The rules were different thousands of years ago, and it wasn't even called Furnace Heaven Domain." Shang Lian participated in the entire eavesdropping session and was filled with awe for Shen Xing's methods. After all, she had witnessed Shen Xing sitting here and being able to investigate everything within the Furnace Heaven Domain without anyone noticing.
