Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

"Do all of the Ten Thousand Clans look like you?" Wang Sheng looked at Shi Xing and Hu Shan, who resembled beastmen.

"Yes!" Shi Xing nodded.

"Then it's not easy for you to still be divided into Ten Thousand Clans." Wang Sheng smiled. In his view, weren't they all the same race? But then, he thought, even if they looked alike, the same race could be divided into countless factions; with different appearances and no external enemies, it wasn't impossible to split into Ten Thousand Clans.

"Is there a problem?" Shi Xing thought he might have touched upon a taboo.

"Nothing, continue!" Wang Sheng replied.

Shi Xing then collected himself and continued: "Originally, our development was smooth until a few years ago when our neighboring realm encountered a problem... they were invaded by a powerful world. The neighboring realm was stronger than us, and their strongest seemed to be an Eighth Realm expert. We always worried about being invaded by them, but we never imagined that they would be invaded and be completely unable to resist."

"Even the Eighth Realm couldn't resist?" Wang Sheng's expression became more solemn. If the Eighth Realm had no ability to resist, either the Eighth Realm of the neighboring world of the World of Ten Thousand Clans wasn't strong, or a Ninth Realm being interfered.

And in their region, the only Ninth Realm... he was no stranger to it!

Shi Xing, unaware of Wang Sheng's thoughts, continued bitterly: "Yes, they had no ability to resist. The Eighth Realm of our world's neighboring realm had only broken through recently in the past century, and those who invaded their world were powerful beings standing at the peak of the Eighth Realm. The disparity was great, and the neighbors' Eighth Realm didn't last long!"

The further one progresses in realms, the harder it is to break through, and the larger the disparity.

Just entering the Eighth Realm, one would indeed be no match for those standing at the pinnacle of the Eighth Realm.

Of course, that wasn't much of an issue for Wang Sheng.

Seeing his expression, Shi Xing also breathed a sigh of relief.

His purpose was to probe.

If they feared the pinnacle of the Eighth Realm, their trip this time would have been in vain. The plainer Wang Sheng's expression, the greater their hope.

"So, you've come to our planet to ask for help?" Wang Sheng had figured out their intentions.

"Yes, we know that after our neighboring realm was invaded, it's most likely our turn next. And we can't possibly be the opponent."

"It's your turn, but I know crossing between realms isn't so easy to initiate." Inter-realm portals aren't just something you can open when you wish; even finding them is very difficult.

Shi Xing and Hu Shan both wore bitter expressions upon hearing this.

"If it were an ordinary situation, that would indeed be the case. However, our world is quite special. Once our neighbor is invaded, I'm afraid it won't take long before the portal is opened, and it would be very difficult to delay it."

"Special…" Wang Sheng pondered, "Your world is indeed special, being only Seventh Realm yet able to come to our planet. I suspect you two aren't the only ones, there must be other rescue teams heading to different worlds."

"Yes." Shi Xing did not deny it. They prepared to reveal all secrets when they came out to ask for help.

If they could not find reinforcements, only destruction awaited their world.

Keeping secrets would be meaningless.

"Our world has the Ten Thousand Clans, and many special individuals with special abilities, whom we call the Chosen Ones. Among them, a Chosen One has a very special ability to send himself and other beings to other worlds.

However, apart from the Chosen One himself, there is a risk of failure for anyone else. Our team originally consisted of ten, but in the end, only Hu Shan and I survived."

Shi Xing answered honestly.

"You two are also Chosen Ones?" These so-called Chosen Ones sounded similar to the Heavenly Father of the Spirit Clan.

"Yes, I can sense danger, and Hu Shan is quite mystical. Sometimes he is very lucky, other times not so much. Maybe this time it's because of good luck that he survived." After all, it was a gamble, and Hu Shan was the most suitable for it.

Wang Sheng nodded and then asked, "You say that your world cannot avoid it because of the Chosen One who can send others to different worlds?"

"Yes, the first time his ability activated, an inter-realm passage was inadvertently opened early. Fortunately, because it was opened early and not fully, it is currently only passable by Seventh Realm beings, which is why our world has not been invaded by our neighbors yet."

Wang Sheng believed it; prematurely opened inter-realm passages would be subject to the Starry Sky Rules.

If fully opened, like between the Source Star and the Chaotic Realm, it would at most allow through an Eighth Realm being. If not fully opened, the extent to which the portal has been activated would decide the strength of the beings that can pass through.

Clearly, the World of Ten Thousand Clans was rather lucky.

"If it's only passable by the Seventh Realm, there shouldn't be so much to worry about, right?"

"Ordinarily, yes. But the world invading our neighbor seems to have a way to expand it. Our portal's revelation is like a cooked duck, ready to be eaten."

There was a time when they felt fortunate, but that fortune did not last long.

What was bound to come would always come.

"Moreover, even if it hadn't opened, given the strength and cruelty of that world, we could only hold out for a short time..." They witnessed the style of the invasion of the neighboring realm, which is why they sought reinforcements.

"Cruel? In what way are they cruel?"

Shi Xing seemed to have thought of something terrible and said fearfully: "They sacrificed our neighboring realm. Before we came to ask for help, out of one hundred and fifty billion beings in the neighboring realm, only fifty billion are left... and even these fifty billion might not survive much longer!"

If not for this, they wouldn't be asking for help.

Submission was actually an option.

But that world, there wasn't even the option of submission.
