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

Chapter 332 Opportunities and Challenges

Clearly, the spots that Shen Xing released were not so easy to obtain.

This was not something Shen Xing did intentionally.

Taking ten legislators to another world before the base is even solidified already means tearing a hole in that world.

It should be understood that in today's world, where civilization has developed to this level, the interests behind these ten councilors are enough to involve a significant portion of the human federation.

Even if Shen Xing had the support of Wenren Caifeng, he was not confident that he could occupy the dominant position he wanted if there were more of them.

In addition, releasing only ten slots is also a way of sending a message to the public.

—She intends to open up the other world, but requires a certain degree of control.

Before making this decision, he had already communicated with Wenren Caifeng and some familiar federal congressmen, which gave him a better understanding of the high-level situation of the Human Federation and that he knew his approach would receive the greatest possible support.

That's exactly what happened.

After Shen Xing made the news public, applications from various councilors poured in like snowflakes, covering almost 90% of the seventh-realm councilors of the Human Federation, and all of them generously stated their conditions in the applications.

"I want to build a space city that serves as a transit point for other worlds." During the communication, Shen Xing further strengthened his conditions, "From now on, all matters related to other worlds will use this city as a transit point, whether it is supplies or personnel."

When this request was made, everyone immediately realized what a huge center of profit this space city would be.

Even some veteran councilors couldn't help but admire Shen Xing's methods.

But this is actually beneficial to the Federation of Humanities.

In such a space city, the greatest benefit lies in the flow of goods, and only the powerful productivity and huge market of the Human Federation can truly absorb the enormous benefits originating from another world.

Therefore, the space city plan was approved at an astonishing speed, and even the members of parliament who did not receive the ten slots this time applied to join the plan.

This time, Shen Xing did not refuse, but agreed to all of them, and asked Xiao Ling to assign cooperative projects to each councilor, which further demonstrated her attitude.

After completing all these tasks, Shen Xing prepared to shift his focus back to the other world.

The ten councilors who had secured their seats had already arrived on his spaceship.

Ji Long was not among them.

It wasn't that Ji Long didn't want to come, but that Shen Xing didn't want to, and that Ji Long wasn't suited to go to another world at this time.

After all, based on the information we have so far, it seems that some kind of power or rule restricts the Eighth Realm experts from going to that world, or at least from staying in that vast continent for long. So when Wenren Caifeng arrives at the Eighth Realm, Shen Xing will need an absolute powerhouse with one foot in the Eighth Realm to make a difference.

Clearly, Ji Long is the best choice.

After communicating with Ji Long, he agreed that the moment Wenren Caifeng entered the Eighth Realm would be the moment Shen Xing would take Ji Long to another world.

It is estimated that it will only take a maximum of a dozen years.

The gains Wenren Caifeng made from that world far exceeded her expectations, especially those alluring martial arts techniques, which accelerated the perfection of her own path.

If this news gets back to the Federation of Humanities, it will probably make those congressmen even more envious.

At this moment, ten councilors were sitting in the reception room in front of Shen Xing.

He made no attempt to be reserved and simply pushed open the door and went inside.

"Hello everyone." Shen Xing greeted everyone first with a smile, clearly displaying the attitude of someone in charge.

The councilors all stood up, each with a smile on their face, their expressions very friendly and harmonious.

"Hello, Director Shen."

"Perhaps we should call him Lord Shen."

"No, no, once we get to that world, I should call you Junior Brother Shen."

"That's right, we're all from the same sect, a federal sect."

"Haha, that's not wrong in itself."

"."

Among these councilors, there were seven men and three women. Some of them were acquaintances, such as Hong Hao, who was the first to contact Shen Xing on behalf of the Academy's home planet, and Xue Zhan, a councilor from the Xue family. There were even two from the Western cultural circle who were the largest shareholders behind "Pangu Company" and had been in contact with Shen Xing for a long time.

It can be said that these ten councilors are probably the ten closest to Shen Xing among the Human Federation.

At least from the perspective of interests, that is the case.

"You all have a general idea of ​​the situation in the other world," Shen Xing said with a smile. "This time, we want to establish a firm foothold in the other world. Apart from you, there will be no special limit on the number of people below the seventh realm. Send as many as you need; you can choose directly."

Upon hearing this, all the councilors visibly perked up.

Having reached their current status, each of them has a bunch of juniors and disciples.

Among them are many with outstanding talent.

Clearly, going to that world with its brilliant martial arts civilization is a tremendous opportunity for every martial artist!

Suddenly, everyone became lively.

"To build our own base, we'll need a lot of equipment and weapons." Hong Hao, being closest to Shen Xing, didn't mince words and asked with a hint of eagerness, "What's your transport capacity, Junior Brother Shen? How many people and how much cargo can you take at once?"

The others listened intently as well.

Within the Federation of Humanities, the attitude towards Shen Xing had already been determined long ago.

One point is that as long as Shen Xing is willing to open up the other world, no one should arbitrarily infringe upon his control over the passage to the other world.

This is mainly because Shen Xing's demonstrated strength and talent have earned their recognition—no one has the confidence to control Shen Xing and the passage.

However, given this premise, everyone is also very interested in Shen Xing's ability to cross into another world.

Transportation volume is a crucial aspect of this.

So after Hong Hao asked his question, the previously chaotic scene immediately quieted down.

All the councilors looked at Shen Xing, awaiting his answer.

Shen Xing naturally knew what they were all expecting.

He smiled slightly and said directly, "Taking this entire spaceship with us shouldn't be a problem."

These words immediately elicited a mixture of surprise and disbelief from everyone present!

It's truly unbelievable!

They were actually able to access some information, such as the possibility that Shen Xing had taken small spaceships to other worlds before. Therefore, they had high expectations for Shen Xing's transportation capabilities.

However, the spaceship we are currently looking at is a large spaceship!

This was custom-made by Shen Xing after he founded the company. It is 200 kilometers long and 60 kilometers high. It is no exaggeration to call it a space city.

This transport capacity, to put it bluntly, is even sufficient to provide enough logistical support for a full-scale invasion war!

Large warships can be transported there!

Just thinking about it made all the councilors' gazes towards Shen Xing become fervent.

They naturally understood where their advantages lay. In terms of martial arts strength, they might not be able to compare with the other world. Even if their foundation and talent were higher, the sheer number of seventh-level cultivators was enough to overwhelm the mere hundred or so seventh-level cultivators of the Human Federation.

But if we take into account technology, various powerful weapons, and even new technologies that have absorbed martial arts techniques from other worlds, then the strength and potential of the Human Federation are unimaginable.

This undoubtedly means even greater benefits!

"In that case, we can go even further," Councilor Xue Zhan suddenly said, his tone fervent. "We can directly occupy a region, then simultaneously learn martial arts techniques and embark on large-scale construction. When the time is right, we'll use this region as our base to conquer and control the entire world!"

In the Federation of Humans, there is no such thing as a non-war or war-avoidance mentality.

As martial artists, our fighting spirit is evident here.

When it comes to interests, there is nothing that cannot be fought for!

In this situation, the vast benefits of the other world, coupled with Shen Xing's incredibly powerful transportation capabilities, is practically an unprecedented signal of war. The potential gains are so great that the entire Human Federation might be mobilized to enter a full-scale war.

Shen Xing had anticipated this scene.

However, he had to pour cold water on his enthusiasm at this moment.

"It's too early to talk about these things now. We don't fully understand that world either. There's a lot of hidden information we don't know. For one thing, that world definitely has a lot of Eight Realms, and even more powerful forces from ancient times."

Shen Xing's words calmed down the agitated councilors.

In fact, they were well aware of this.

That was merely a display of fighting spirit fueled by the prospect of profit.

They all nodded in agreement, indicating that the most important thing at present was to use everything from that world to improve their own strength.

"Acquiring a territory first shouldn't be too difficult," Shen Xing said after thinking for a moment. "The area around the secret realm we currently occupy is unclaimed land, but it's not large. It borders the territories of the seven holy lands. If we want to expand outwards to a territory, there will likely be a lot of fighting for it."

Despite Wenren Caifeng's current status as a respected Martial Venerable and her unparalleled prowess, that's only because she hasn't yet touched upon the core interests of some sacred lands.

Those powerful holy lands have all produced people who have reached the eighth realm; they might have some amazing trump cards up their sleeves.

Clearly, territory is the core interest of the Holy Land.

In such a transcendent world, a larger territory means more extraordinary resources, a larger population base, and more martial arts geniuses. Especially in places like the Central Ruins, where vital energy is abundant, every holy land is fighting for every inch of land.

It's perfectly normal for them to clash over territory.

The last time such a large-scale change occurred was ten thousand years ago.

In that conflict, countless holy lands perished, and Xuanlong Palace was one of them.

The existing territory was all fixed at that time; it's a default rule.

Even a small, isolated holy land like the White Bone Saint possesses its own small territory of white bones without fear of being taken away by a powerful holy land. This is because if a holy land does so, all relatively weak holy lands will worry about their own territory.

Therefore, this fragile yet strong balance is not so easily broken.

After figuring these things out, all the members of parliament realized that the other world meant not only opportunities, but also challenges.

"Regardless, we already have a small piece of land," a councilor suddenly spoke up. "Let's manage this land well first, and the rest is simply a matter of strength."

"Not bad." Shen Xing looked at the councilor.

His name is Xin Bing.

Also from a large family, with strength at the mid-stage of the seventh realm, they were one of the families that were closest to Shen Xing some time ago. They were also one of the directors behind Pangu Company. The construction of the spaceship that Shen Xing now owns was completed in the Xin family's heavy industry factory.

It can only be said that these ten councilors in front of him are indeed people that Shen Xing can influence. At least on the surface, no one will refute Shen Xing's suggestions.

Under these circumstances, the entire meeting was quite harmonious.

Finally, Shen Xing stood up from his seat again.

"Everything that needed to be discussed has been discussed; it's time to set off."

Even this one sentence made the incredibly powerful councilor, a seventh-realm expert, unable to contain his anticipation and excitement.

After all, this is not only about huge profits, but also about their own martial arts!

Shen Xing didn't delay any longer. With a surge of Yuan Power, he took everyone away in one go.

Yes, in the past, physical contact was required to take people away, but after entering the realm of Sun and Moon, his body became Yuan Power, and Yuan Power became his body.

As for the councilors, they could only feel an irresistible force sweeping over them in an unfathomable instant, and then the scene before them changed.

This scene, this feeling, undoubtedly took these powerful members of parliament by surprise.

Having reached the seventh realm, they are no longer ignorant of space; they can even tear space apart and complete spatial leaps on their own.

Even so, they were powerless to resist this forced relocation.

They can't even perceive it.

Suddenly, these people's understanding of Shen Xing's methods was greatly elevated.

This was definitely not something Shen Xing could do on his own; in fact, it didn't seem like something someone at the Eighth Realm could accomplish!

However, this was not the time to focus on this matter. The ten councilors took a deep breath and felt the abundant, gentle, and pure Yuan energy in the air. For a moment, they were even somewhat mesmerized.

For martial artists, this kind of environment is their paradise!

"This kind of vitality is indeed abundant; I'm afraid only the front-line battlefield can surpass it here," Xue Zhan exclaimed first.

He was the only one of the ten people present who was permanently stationed on the front lines, so he certainly had the right to say such things.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing became somewhat curious.

"The morale on the front lines is actually even higher than here?"
