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

Chapter 379 Give Me Ten Thousand Years

According to Lin Chaoyang, instead of exploring other worlds, it would be better to find the resources and strong individuals that the Martial Arts Alliance controls.

This is indeed a good idea.

Although it is challenging and carries considerable risks, if handled properly, it can indeed rapidly increase the Federation's strength.

More importantly, if Shen Xing wants to become stronger quickly, he still needs to develop his world.

This requires the efforts of a large number of eighth-realm martial artists.

Shen Xing has discovered that the more Eighth Realm martial artists gather in his world, the faster the world grows. This is not only to use these Eighth Realm martial artists as "tools" to extract Yuan Qi, but more importantly, during their cultivation process, Yuan Qi carrying various profound mysteries will gradually gather in his world.

This is even related to the characteristics of the Myriad Dragons Law to some extent.

The Myriad Dragons Method itself is all-encompassing. After the convergence of various dragon-based martial arts concepts, it is no longer just dragon-based. Or rather, the dragon system is merely a hub used to control and regulate various martial arts.

The vital energy possessed by these eighth-level cultivators, along with their martial arts, greatly benefited Shen Xing.

All of this gradually allowed Shen Xing to see the road ahead more clearly.

Therefore, recruiting more Eighth Realm experts has become a key point, even those Eighth Realm experts that the Martial Alliance doesn't consider valuable.

"If we want to recruit these eighth-realm cultivators, we also need to demonstrate some strength," Shen Xing said.

"Then the problem comes back to the void spaceship," Lin Chaoyang said. "That's up to you. We really know nothing about space."

"It's not just about me." Shen Xing shook his head. "Having a spaceship is not enough; you also need the strength of a martial artist. At the very least, you need to have the strength of the second stage, just like this Meng Ju. One isn't even enough; you need at least several. That way, even if those eighth-realm martial artists don't agree to join us, we can still kidnap them."

"I understand." Lin Chaoyang nodded. "You're putting pressure on us."

"Actually, you are already very close to the second stage," Shen Xing said with a smile. "The second stage they define is nothing more than further optimization of the quality of Yuan energy. After you have replenished your respective martial arts foundations, time has already passed very quickly in these two thousand years. I will concentrate my Yuan energy supply to you. At most, you can go into seclusion for one or two thousand years, which will be enough."

Indeed, while Shen Xing's strength continued to improve, the strength of the Federation's martial artists did not stagnate either.

In the last thousand years, the number of Supreme Councilors has actually increased by three.

Moreover, the number of martial artists who have reached the Quasi-Eighth Realm is also constantly increasing, and it is believed that a small boom will soon follow.

Lin Chaoyang and the other veterans of the Eight Realms, who were originally the highest councilors, need no further introduction.

They are indeed very close to the so-called second phase.

A thousand years is just enough time for him to create a void spaceship that is even stronger than this one, a void spaceship that truly belongs to the Federation!

"Understood." Lin Chaoyang agreed without hesitation, and said with a smile, "Then let's have a competition to see if we reach the second stage first, or if you can build the void spaceship first!"

"No problem," Shen Xing readily agreed.

Thus, a new round of development began.

This seems to have become the main theme of the current human federation, with the entire federation constantly increasing its development speed.

Whether it's technique or martial arts.

Even in the field of science and technology, there have been many groundbreaking discoveries in recent years. There is a type of warp weapon made by utilizing curvature changes that can threaten beings in the Seventh Realm. Moreover, the production cost is not high, unlike rune ships which require a large amount of rare and high-level extraordinary materials.

This technological breakthrough undoubtedly adds another layer of depth to the Federation of Humanities.

Furthermore, the field of inscriptions has gradually entered the research stage of the eighth realm.

Although Nangong Jinyi, who was in charge of inscribed weapons, was somewhat lacking in strength, with Shen Xing's cooperation, she had successfully designed several weapons comparable to the Eighth Realm Divine Weapons, greatly enhancing the destructive power of Eighth Realm warriors.

The area that has made the most progress is undoubtedly the field of void spaceships.

Shen Xing did not directly copy the Void Spaceship of the Martial Alliance. Instead, he only retained the key technologies. Some of the inscriptions were even optimized based on those on the shuttle. Furthermore, he incorporated the spaceship technology of the Human Federation and added the latest Void Engine to this spaceship. In terms of both speed and firepower, it was significantly enhanced compared to the spaceship of the Martial Alliance.

According to the information obtained from Mengju and his group of eighth-realm martial artists, these data are actually no worse than the void spaceships that are a level higher in the Martial Artists Alliance.

"We need to find a way to get a higher-level void spaceship over here." Shen Xing had his eye on the Martial Arts Alliance's technology.

He also has a habit of taking advantage of others; whenever he sees something good in other people's hands, whether it's technology or resources, he wants to get his hands on it.

Mi Fei even said that his powerful strength was "pulled out".

But Shen Xing was not ashamed of this. To put it bluntly, it was called "taking advantage"; to put it nicely, it was called "fighting"!

The essence of martial arts is "struggle"!

Under these circumstances, in just 1,300 years, the first void spaceship designed and produced independently by the Federation was officially unveiled.

The federal imprint is particularly clear!

Not long after, Lin Chaoyang officially emerged from seclusion as the first eighth-realm martial artist to enter the second stage!

"I still won," Shen Xing said with a smile.

"You won. I guarantee I'll bring back at least thirty eighth-realm cultivators for you." Lin Chaoyang, true to his word, looked at the void spaceship before him with great curiosity and even a touch of impatience. "I'll set off immediately, right now!"

"Aren't we going to wait for the others?" Shen Xing asked.

"They'll be several hundred years away. Let's wait for your spaceship after they arrive." Lin Chaoyang shook his head. "I only need three more Eighth Realm experts. I can keep a few more Eighth Realm experts with you."

"Okay." Shen Xing didn't say anything more.

Sending Lin Chaoyang alone actually carries a certain degree of danger.

After all, the worlds they were going to were either occupied or plundered by the Martial Arts Alliance.

Even the weakest one has a dozen or twenty eighth-realm Great Saints.

However, this danger was utterly insignificant to Lin Chaoyang and his companions.

This reasoning clearly wouldn't sway them in the slightest.

Lin Chaoyang took Ji Long and a top councilor with a high level of spiritual cultivation with him. Both of them were trustworthy members of the Federation's Eighth Realm. They left quietly without any ceremony.

Apart from a small number of members of parliament, not many people even knew about this adventure.

Meanwhile, Shen Xing began constructing his second void spaceship.

Currently, in the process of creating the void spaceship, there are some methods that only he can accomplish. Fortunately, this process is also an effective form of training for Shen Xing, allowing him to gain a deeper understanding of the inscriptions on the shuttle.

Sometimes I even wonder if, if I keep practicing like this, I might one day be able to create a new flying shuttle!

If he can really do that, it might mean that his strength has completely entered a new realm.

The second void spaceship, after some optimizations, took a total of six hundred years to build.

Lin Chaoyang returned once along the way, bringing back a total of forty eighth-realm martial artists. Of these, only four or five were there voluntarily; the remaining thirty-odd were brought in under duress and are now confined within Shen Xing's world to provide new power for its development.

Subsequently, the second Supreme Councilor who reached the second stage left with a new Voidship.

This time, however, it was no longer done quietly. Many councilors, upon learning of it, volunteered to go along.

The Seven Realms are in the void, which is far from safe and even more dangerous. However, going to different worlds also means greater opportunities and more importantly, it is a valuable experience!

There were a lot of people who signed up.

When the third void spaceship was just built, the number of registered councilors even exceeded one thousand!

Currently, the total number of councilors in the seven realms of the entire Human Federation is only about two thousand, and more than half of them want to venture into the void.

Shen Xing even saw the names of Hu An and Gu Jiao among them.

"Are you also planning to venture into the void?" Shen Xing even took the initiative to approach them about this.

"That's right." Juan nodded and smiled. "Our martial arts talent is different from yours, and our mental state is also inferior. If we lose the courage to take risks, we may be stuck in the seventh realm for life. As martial artists, we should still have the desire to strive for a higher realm."

Juan now appears to be in his forties, but he looked even older two thousand years ago.

This is certainly not due to his lifespan, but only shows that his mindset is aging.

Shen Xing also noticed that his cultivation level had indeed improved very little.

He understood that the void was the last chance for Juan and his companion to break through their limitations.

After a moment of silence, Shen Xing nodded and said, "Since you've made your decision, have a safe journey."

"Thank you," Juan said with a smile.

Safe travels are the best wishes a friend can give.

After Juan and the other man left, Shen Xing suddenly turned to look at Nangong Jinyi.

"You want to go too, right?" A question that came out of nowhere.

But Nangong Jinyi showed no surprise whatsoever, and simply asked with a light laugh:

"You don't want me to go?"

"Hmm." Shen Xing nodded. "Keeping you by my side in a safe place might seem like a selfish thought from a friend's perspective, but given our relationship, it's understandable that it might seem selfish."

"You're really quite self-righteous." Nangong Jinyi couldn't help but glance at him. "What's our relationship?"

"We have plenty of time," Shen Xing laughed. "There's no need to rush many things, even just vague feelings. Aren't you enjoying them?"

"." Nangong Jinyi was somewhat at a loss this time, and her face turned slightly red.

Shen Xing was right; she and Mi Fei had actually been enjoying this ambiguous relationship all along.

For a saint with an infinite lifespan, such emotions are an extremely precious embellishment.

This is also a key reason why they are able to maintain a youthful mindset for so long.

You can tell this just by looking at Gu Jiao.

Even though she still maintains her youthful appearance, they all know that her mind is aging along with Juan's.

This trip to the void was actually proposed by Gu Jiao herself.

"Even so, even so," Nangong Jinyi pursed her lips. A dignified saint, she didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Give me another ten thousand years," Shen Xing said. "Ten thousand years, and I will conquer the entire Martial Arts Alliance, and then travel the void with you."

"Isn't the word 'they' missing?" After a long silence, Nangong Jinyi finally found a way to retaliate, and then looked at Shen Xing's flustered appearance with satisfaction.

Ten thousand years is indeed a long time for a saint.

In fact, it doesn't feel that far away.

However, she did not doubt Shen Xing's words: "Ten thousand years to conquer the entire Martial Arts Alliance!"

After that, everything seemed to return to the way it was before. Shen Xing continued to optimize and manufacture the void spaceships, one after another. Later on, several versions were even able to be mass-produced, but they were only affected by the scarcity of resources.

On the contrary, some of the eighth-level warriors in the second stage couldn't keep up.

As for those eighth-realm warriors brought from various worlds, even though their numbers have exceeded five hundred, these people are ultimately looked down upon by the Martial Arts Alliance and do not possess the foundation to enter the second stage.

More importantly, the five-thousand-year deadline is drawing ever closer.

According to Mengju's previous statement, if he did not return to report within five thousand years, an even more powerful martial artist would arrive, with strength at least at the third stage.

"In terms of the quality of my Yuan Power alone, I've now firmly established myself at the third stage, at least comparable to the fourth stage of the Martial Artists Alliance, and even approaching the fifth stage," Shen Xing pondered. "This strength is close to the top of the pyramid within the Martial Artists Alliance. Perhaps I can be a little bolder?"

That's right. When the pace of development slowed down, the first thing Shen Xing thought of was that he hadn't taken enough advantage of the system!

The Martial Arts Alliance also classifies the worlds into different levels. For the past few thousand years, Lin Chaoyang and others only dared to invite "Eighth Realm Great Saints" to some low-level worlds. Most of these worlds are like Taixu. The Martial Arts Alliance only sends martial artists there periodically to harvest resources. They don't send anyone to garrison them, let alone care about the absence of some Eighth Realm Great Saints.

This is why they brought so many Eight Realms without causing any commotion.

However, some more powerful worlds are different.

These worlds can now be considered the true territory of the Martial Arts Alliance.

Not only are there powerful martial artists stationed there for a long time, but the connection between them and the upper echelons of the Martial Arts Alliance has also become closer.

In this situation, choosing to take action against this world is essentially standing directly in front of the Martial Arts Alliance.

The problem is that, having the Void Ship, they don't necessarily need to reveal the location of their base!
