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

Chapter 376 is finally here.

Even though Shen Xing didn't reveal who the enemy was, the atmosphere at the scene was already solemn.

Many people felt a surge of fighting spirit.

This is a major characteristic of martial arts civilization. Even though the Human Federation still inherits some characteristics of civilizations before the Martial Arts Era, it still possesses the greatest feature of martial arts civilization—all its high-level leaders are martial artists.

As a martial artist, and such a powerful one at that, there is no one who would fear battle.

Their fighting spirit is the fundamental reason why they were able to complete their life evolution and reach this level.

Under such circumstances, the existence of the enemy does not frighten them.

"They are known as the Martial Arts Alliance." In this atmosphere, Shen Xing slowly described the existence of the enemy. "It is a civilization alliance in the void world, jointly established by four martial arts worlds, and includes hundreds, or even thousands, of martial arts worlds. They are very powerful, especially in terms of size."

All the members of parliament listened very attentively.

However, this single passage gave them a general understanding of the enemy.

Size? Perhaps.

However, this means not only power, but also interests!

Yes, some members of Congress have already realized the necessity of this war from this statement!

As members of parliament, they could naturally see the trends of some problems emerging from certain changes, such as the renewed rise in resource prices and the soaring prices of some rare materials. All of this indicated that the Human Federation was about to encounter a bottleneck in its development, and the main reason for this bottleneck was resources.

The mere Taixu World is no longer sufficient to support the size of the Federation.

At this time, another force appeared, whose size seemed to be many times that of the Taixu World.

Then this is no longer just a matter of blood feud!

It's about development and profit!

War is imminent!

"However, according to our current intelligence, this martial arts alliance does not possess the so-called Ninth Realm in high-end martial arts," Shen Xing said again. "Even if they are very strong, there is no insurmountable gap between them and us. Moreover, even if we don't seek them out, they will come looking for us. I demand that the entire Human Federation gradually enter a state of war, especially those of you present here. In this war, the Seventh Realm may become the most important battlefield!"

Everyone remained silent.

But the battle that surrounded them had already given Shen Xing the answer.

Subsequently, the meeting began to move in the direction of war preparations, and Shen Xing revealed some information about the Martial Arts Alliance.

He was certain that the Martial Arts Alliance would come to him, and the Human Federation was still in a phase of rapid development. Therefore, what he needed to do now was not to rush to the battlefield, but to make many preparations before the battle.

After all, if they were merely fighting and fleeing, or even prepared to abandon the Taixu World, then this war might not necessarily threaten the Human Federation. However, if they wanted to further develop the extraordinary resources of the void universe, or even further cultivate Shen Xing's world, then the defense at the Seventh Realm level would be extremely important.

Under this mobilization, every councilor of the seventh realm must be prepared. Even when they go into seclusion for cultivation, they need to submit a report and obtain approval. At critical moments, they may even have to stop their cultivation.

The other resources mobilized are even more immense.

All possible weapons should be produced at a rapid pace.

This is also one of the important topics of the entire conference.

Finally, this lasted for several months.

Even some martial artists who were not qualified to attend the meeting felt a sense of impending doom from the rapidly progressing meetings.

However, the real beginning only started after the meeting ended.

Shen Xing also got busy. Putting everything else aside, he wanted to completely open up the passage between the two worlds.

But achieving this is not easy.

When Shen Xing finally arrived at an otherworldly battlefield and experienced its spatial state, he understood why the Martial Alliance hadn't been able to find such a battlefield for so long.

Even between universes, there are gaps!

"This world really does have all sorts of highly similar situations, like a nesting doll," Shen Xing could only sigh.

However, although it was more difficult than he had expected, it did not truly defeat him.

Because of the shuttle.

After arriving at the Eighth Realm, the shuttle demonstrated all its functions to him. Shen Xing didn't know how this treasure was made, but he was certain that the spatial technology it contained far exceeded what the so-called Martial Arts Alliance could master.

Because any force that masters this technology will not be limited to just one universe.

Breaking through the barriers between universes is no challenge for the shuttle, as it was designed specifically for traversing the cosmos.

What Shen Xing needs to do is use the flying shuttle to open the passage, and then use his own power to enlarge the passage as much as possible.

He discovered that the whole process actually had considerable benefits for his own spiritual practice.

His current mastery of space has reached an astonishing level. Returning to the void is like returning to his own home. He can even freely guide the flow of spatial turbulence, converging it into a vortex to develop his world at a much faster pace—thousands of times faster than other worlds!

This means that in just a few thousand years, its world could potentially develop to the scale of the Taixu world.

Naturally, this refers to the Taixu world before it was damaged by the impact of the giant beast.

Under such circumstances, the spatial phenomena of the void universe itself could no longer provide him with much inspiration.

But in this place, in the crevice of this universe, inspiration struck.

The entire process took about three hundred years.

A sturdy passage, large enough to accommodate a large warship, appeared between this otherworldly battlefield and Shen Xing's world!

"The two universes are now completely connected." Shen Xing felt a sense of accomplishment looking at the passage that had just been stabilized and was quickly put into use.

Although it only connects to his world, connecting his world with other worlds is much easier for Shen Xing now.

He doesn't need much time or effort to do it.

In fact, the rudimentary form of a trans-universe power has already been established at this moment.

"Just one channel isn't enough." Nangong Jinyi was standing next to Shen Xing, displaying a terminal projection in her hand. "The Human Federation's demand for vital energy is too great right now. We need to open at least twelve channels like this to barely reduce the need for you to transport it all."

Before this, all transportation needed to be carried out by Shen Xing, which required the use of his open space for cultivation.

In other words, Shen Xing's transportation capabilities are strong enough. The existence of the shuttle space allows him to transport massive amounts of resources at once. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the country to develop so rapidly over the past thousand years.

"Twelve ones, no problem at all." Shen Xing nodded. "This is also a kind of training for me, and with the experience of the first one, it will only get faster and faster after that."

"In addition, I will also need your help to oversee the design and manufacture of the void spaceship," Nangong Jinyi said with a smile. "You are an absolute expert in the field of space, and your technical level is far ahead of the entire civilization. If anyone can design a spaceship that can travel in the void in the shortest amount of time, it is only you."

That's right, simply having a passage isn't enough. To maintain the Human Federation's development speed, we also need to find more resource-rich worlds.

Before this, due to the lack of means of movement in the void, the only way to find a new world was through the most rudimentary method—sending the Eight Realms to search for it.

Fortunately, after realizing that the Taixu World was about to be destroyed, many Great Saints of the Eighth Realm had already tried to find more worlds.

They dared not stray too far from the Taixu World, fearing they would lose their way, but they also found several small worlds that were still developing.

The Eight Realms World is actually the largest of them.

Now, all those small worlds have been incorporated into the Federation's territory and connected to Shen Xing's own small world.

Some of these resources may not be of interest to the Eight Realms, but they are still quite valuable for the development of the Federation.

The vital energy contained within it alone is a considerable fortune.

However, this is only a temporary measure. A probe ship is definitely necessary, which is also the strength of the Martial Alliance. Before finding the Martial Alliance, we can only let Shen Xing take charge of developing the void probe ship.

Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult for him.

The shuttle itself is a treasure in the spatial domain. Even if we don't completely replicate those nine extremely complex runes, just taking a small part of them would be enough to play a vital role in the spatial domain.

In this situation, Shen Xing's busyness is actually beneficial to his cultivation.

"By the way," Shen Xing turned to look at Nangong Jinyi, "how come you're my assistant now? Where's Xiaoling?"

"You really have no idea how busy you are as someone's subordinate," Nangong Jinyi said helplessly. "I'm also your subordinate, with a formal position. Is it strange that I lend a hand to Xiaoling when she's too busy?"

"Not really, but..." Shen Xing shook his head, "I'm not used to giving you orders like this."

"Then you can get used to it slowly. For at least the next three hundred years, I will be your temporary assistant. Or, how about Gu Jiao?" Nangong Jinyi smiled. "In any case, it can't be Consort Mi. She's not your employee."

"Then forget it." Shen Xing shook his head.

If we really had to find someone close to him who understood the entire situation of his power, then besides Xiao Ling, there was indeed only Nangong Jinyi.

In fact, for a long time, Nangong Jinyi was the de facto administrator of Taixu City.

After all, Xiaoling's level of understanding was insufficient, but her status as a councilor was sufficient.

However, it's been three hundred years.

Shen Xing also had a strange feeling. This time seemed to pass in the blink of an eye when he was cultivating, but it was quite long when he was doing other things.

"Let's begin, let's go to the next otherworldly battlefield," Shen Xing said.

The passages couldn't just be placed in one otherworldly battlefield. Each of the twelve passages had to be placed in a different otherworldly battlefield, but all of them were connected to Shen Xing's world.

And as he said, with the first one, the second one became even more efficient.

It only took two hundred years.

Then it was 150 years, 100 years, 80 years.

Finally, the creation of the twelve channels took approximately 870 years.

The two universes are completely connected, with Shen Xing's world serving as the transit point.

Even Shen Xing's world has become completely lively.

The initial idea was to relocate Taixu City here, but it was later discovered that the Human Federation did indeed need such a city, so they simply recreated Taixu City in Shen Xing's world.

The two Taixu Cities are connected to each other, sharing the same name but belonging to different universes, yet they seem to be just one city.

It can be considered a "miracle landscape" of the Federation of Humans.

If the tourism industry were to be opened up, countless people would flock there.

In addition, the first generation of void ships has been created. Although they can only explore the surrounding area, they have still discovered many valuable small worlds.

In this empty universe, it seems that resources and treasures are everywhere.

However, Shen Xing hoped that this period of rapid development could continue, ideally until their overall strength was sufficient to overwhelm the so-called Martial Arts Alliance.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

Just as Shen Xing was preparing to develop the thirteenth channel, a recruited Great Sage of Taixu brought bad news.

"They've finally arrived!" The Great Sage's expression was extremely solemn.

While he was exploring the nearest world, he was discovered by the Martial Arts Alliance's spaceship!

"They asked me where I came from and what the current state of the Taixu World was like, and I answered according to the agreed-upon instructions."

The so-called agreed-upon content refers to the relevant preparations made during this long period of time.

They told everyone in the Taixu World that the Federation was a force within a dragon clan's secret realm, and that Shen Xing was a descendant of the Dragon Emperor, who unified the entire Taixu World and was originally a dragon.

Furthermore, they used various methods to eliminate any trace of the spatial abilities that Shen Xing had previously used.

All those who knew about the situation, except for those who had fully joined the Federation and gained its trust, had been taken away.

They are trying to erase any trace of the "treasure" as much as possible.

However, the reason for doing so was not out of fear of the Martial Arts Alliance, but rather out of strategic importance—they needed to stay in the shadows and gather more information about the martial arts.

"Someone has unified the entire Taixu World. I estimate that they will come to investigate soon," Shen Xing said calmly.

But there was no worry; on the contrary, there was some eagerness to try.
