Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Even warriors from the Eighth Realm learned about other worlds as observers; they couldn't begin to fathom how powerful the Ninth Realm was.

"Sir, just how powerful is the Ninth Realm?" he asked, both fearful and curious.

"If one from the Ninth Realm were to take action with all their might, they could easily destroy your World of Ten Thousand Clans, not just extinguish life but truly annihilate the world itself."

To cleave stars and annihilate worlds was simply the most direct manifestation of the Ninth Realm's power, the most straightforward way to display their might.

"Destroying Realm..." Shi Xing and Hu Shan found the concept so surreal, even more unimaginable, "Does your world also have warriors from the Ninth Realm, sir?"

Even with only snippets of information, they understood that only a warrior from the Ninth Realm might stand a chance against another from the same realm.

Without reaching the Ninth Realm, one simply didn't have the right to face them.

"Do you know why I am so informed about the Chaotic Realm? Because we've just repelled that world!"

Wang Sheng wasn't worried about the Dao Lords.

It wouldn't be long before he too could break through to the Ninth Realm.

"Your world has fought with the Chaotic Realm...no wonder..."

To have fought and repelled them, even if not an equal match, showed fearlessness.

Even though it was only that, it might save their World of Ten Thousand Clans.

Shi Xing and Hu Shan both stood up, then performed a peculiar gesture of respect: "We entrust everything to you, sir!"

This was the greatest etiquette in their world, reserved only for the most revered individuals. In certain circumstances, it was also a humiliation, akin to kneeling.

Their gesture indicated they understood Wang Sheng to be the strongest man in this world.

They were all too aware of what that represented.

Power of the Ninth Realm!

Before such a powerful being, a mere gesture of respect was nothing.

"Dismiss it; what you need to do now is to open the inter-dimensional gates. If you're too late, even we won't be able to help."

"Sir, only at the designated time will the World of Ten Thousand Clans contact us, only they have the Chosen One capable of opening the inter-dimensional gates." Shi Xing and Hu Shan both scratched their heads, an arrangement also aimed at preventing the ambitions of more aggressive worlds.

If the plea for help went unanswered, opening inter-dimensional gates too soon and being destroyed before help could arrive would render any successful plea futile due to lack of time!

Contacting together, even if those seeking help were controlled, the risks were much reduced when confronting multiple worlds.

Wang Sheng, of course, caught the subtext but didn't mind.

After all, it wasn't his world that was in a hurry.

It was a pity that he had already checked the area where Shi Xing and Hu Shan had appeared and found no traces of an inter-dimensional gate, otherwise, they might have been able to open it early.

The more worlds the Chaotic Realm consumed, the worse it was for them.

But at this point, there wasn't much else they could do.

"How long until your Mother World makes contact?"

"Sir, at most three to four years. The Chosen One who sent us here used too much power; even with a connection, it won't be possible to open the gate immediately."

"Aren't you afraid of unforeseen issues?" Three to four years wasn't a short time!

Having observed the required time for sacrifices wasn't brief, three to four years was plenty of time. "If any issues truly arise...we shall be the last of our kind." This time, all beings of the World of Ten Thousand Clans had made their choice.

Those who sought help had remarkable talents.

In case of an incident, they would represent the last hope of the World of Ten Thousand Clans.

Even if that hope was but a sliver...

"Then you may stay in our world for a few years; I will find someone to take care of you."

"Thank you, sir."

Wang Sheng contacted Huangtian.

But before Huangtian arrived, he silently invaded the Sea of Consciousness of Shi Xing and Hu Shan.

Asking was one thing, but confirming couldn't be neglected.

After all, no one could be sure if this was a trap.

He directly entered the Sea of Spiritual Origin of both individuals.

If there were no issues, neither Sea of Spiritual Origin should reveal any problems.

"The memories are indeed consistent with what they said, without any signs of seals or tampering; seems like there's no issue."

If there were any signs of memory seals or tampering within their memories, he would give up on the so-called World of Ten Thousand Clans.

After learning of the cruel rules of world confrontation, he trusted no world fully.

This step in verification was indispensable.

Confirming there were no issues, he quietly exited the Sea of Spiritual Origin of both, leaving them none the wiser, as if nothing had happened.

Soon after, Huangtian arrived at Qingshan Village through the Teleportation Array.

"Master!" The first thing Huangtian did upon each visit was to greet him.

Wang Sheng nodded, then explained the situation: "These individuals are from beyond our world; I've discussed certain matters with them. They will be staying in our world for a few years. I leave it to you to accommodate them as typical guests."

"Visitors from another world... Master, they must be the ones who arrived not long ago, right?" The Datong Capital had a central control system, and any suspected external visitors naturally had to be reported to Huangtian.

"Yes, for more details, you can ask them."

Then, turning towards Shi Xing and Hu Shan, Wang Sheng continued, "He is the leader of the only kingdom in our world. He will handle all your affairs moving forward. You can discuss anything with him, and when the time comes to open the inter-dimensional gate, let me know."

"Yes, sir!"

Shi Xing and Hu Shan had no objections; staying here, facing a peerless warrior, they wouldn't feel at ease.

Following him out to learn about this world also seemed like a good idea.

Besides, this world obviously had greater advancement, and knowing more would only be beneficial.

They wanted to glean as much information as possible.

Any piece of information could be a lifeline.

"Huangtian, I leave them in your care!"

"Yes, Master." Huangtian nodded and then turned to the two from the Spirit Clan, "Please, follow me."

Huangtian led Shi Xing and Hu Shan away.

Just in time, Planet Will Yuan appeared.

"You have no issues with the business of the Affiliated World, do you?"

Turning a world into an Affiliated World was a complicated process, and, like destroying a world, might take more than a decade. If it's a powerful world, a few hundred or even thousand years weren't out of the question.

Even a normal world might not understand the procedures for becoming an Affiliated World.

However, having a Planet Will made things much simpler.

Not only was there no need to understand the protocol, but it also saved a lot of time.

That is, if what Yuan told him was reliable.

[Of course it is; this matter benefits me greatly, so why would I speak carelessly? What luck, though, to encounter a world in crisis. Since they don't resist, I am confident I can make them an Affiliated World within three years.

Once it is accomplished, that will be our home turf, and you can go there in full force. The current concern is what to do if a Dao Lord from the Chaotic Realm can still intervene?]

"There are still three to four years, right?"

Wang Sheng smiled.

Three to four years, that was plenty enough!

Even if a Dao Lord intervened, he would face the him of the Ninth Realm!

(7000+, a little less than the 1000 I expected, I'll try to make up for it tomorrow and, by the way, I need a monthly ticket!)
