The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

Liu Shen, the Undying Being (also known as Kunpengzi), and the Peacock Divine Lord gave some final instructions, then Liu Shen's willow branch fell silent again. Shi Jian carefully put it away.

"Junior Brother, if you need help in the future, you can come to me!" The Peacock Divine Lord took out a colorful feather and gave it to Shi Jian. Liu Shen did not acknowledge the Peacock Divine Lord as her Disciple; she had merely helped him once, but he insisted on treating her with the courtesy due to a teacher.

The Peacock Divine Lord was an outstanding figure among the Sect Masters, and Shi Jian did not refuse his goodwill, accepting the feather. Seeing this, the Peacock Divine Lord nodded, said a few more words, and then left.

Kunpengzi also looked at Shi Jian with admiration. "The Kunpeng Technique is not disgraced in your hands!" He patted Shi Jian's shoulder.

Shi Jian naturally felt some goodwill towards Kunpengzi. He gratefully said to him, "Many thanks, Senior, for your help this time." With Liu Shen present, there was no room for Kunpengzi to act, but he and the Peacock Divine Lord had both stood on their side. Kunpengzi waved his hand, then turned and left as well.

The Demonic Woman also appeared, smiling. "I thought you'd be hunted down and flee in desperation, with no way to heaven or earth, but I didn't expect you to become a second-generation rich kid." The Demonic Woman had long known that Shi Jian must have some trump card, but she hadn't expected it to be so formidable.

"What are you saying?" Shi Jian glared at her. "Did I worry you sick?"

"I was worried you'd die..." The Demonic Woman blew a fragrant breath into Shi Jian's ear. Her breath, like an orchid, was fresh and sweet, and its scent wafted to his nose.

"You were worried I'd die?" Shi Jian tilted his head slightly, his ear touching her bright red lips. The Demonic Woman quickly retreated, glaring at Shi Jian. She hummed a few more words, then also left.

After the outsiders left, Shi Jian, Yang Qi, and the others finally had time to relax.

"Teacher, you're not being honest, something's going on..." Meng Qi came to Shi Jian's side, winking.

"Going on? What's going on?" Shi Jian feigned ignorance.

Seeing this, Yang Qi sighed. He remembered being a naive young man, full of longing for a certain type of woman. He thought he had met a truly beautiful one, but ended up being tricked into being a fool. Now, his heart only held Cultivation; women would only affect the speed of his sword draw.

No women in the heart, the sword draw is naturally Divine. I hope Brother Shi understands this principle! Yang Qi thought silently to himself.

Shi Hao and Lin Dong gathered together, counting their spoils of war. A large pile of things was thrown on the ground by the two of them.

"This Dragon Sparrow feather is a good item!" The Small Pagoda and the Divine Stone gathered around them, their eyes gleaming. They kept examining the pile of corpses of Primordials and Divine Rank powerhouses on the ground, as well as the spoils of war looted from them.

"Strip the feathers off this Dragon Sparrow, then roast it over a bonfire..." Shi Hao's eyes gleamed as he processed various ingredients. "This Taotie is suitable for stewing; stew it in a large pot, and stew this Sun Divine Vine along with it—a mix of meat and vegetables." He picked and chose.

"This Dragon horn is good; cut it off for refining Magic Treasure. These scales are also good..." Lin Dong also worked beside him. One peeled and deboned, while the other held the cauldron and brewed. The scene was incredibly harmonious.

Shi Jian and Yang Qi kept some corpses of powerful Primordials, preparing to use them for Cultivating the Demonic Embryo Parasitic Art. Meng Qi, meanwhile, stood by the side, drooling at Shi Hao's stew pot.

Shi Hao had lived in the Chaotic Ancient Era for some time, and his strength had improved significantly. His cooking skills had also greatly improved, presumably because he hadn't mistreated himself during his time there. After a while, the group gathered and began to eat heartily, chatting as they did so.

"Little Shi Hao, how did your Cultivation improve so quickly? A few months ago, when we met in Luo Feng's world, you were only at the Spiritual Realm, right?" Lin Dong was curious about Shi Hao's Cultivation.

Last time they met, Shi Hao's Cultivation was about the same as Luo Feng's. At most, a little stronger. But only a month or two had passed, and Shi Hao's strength had already caught up to theirs.

Shi Hao scratched his head upon hearing this. "I don't know either. Not long ago, Little Brother and I came to the Upper Realm together, and on the way, we encountered a drop of blood from an unknown powerhouse. That drop of blood instantly entered my body, and I vaguely returned to the Chaotic Ancient Era, countless eons ago. After Breaking Through to the Venerable Realm, I came back again."

Shi Hao recounted his experience. He had mentioned it briefly to Shi Jian before, but hadn't gone into detail. Meng Qi, Lin Dong, and the others were bewildered. Transmigrated back to the Chaotic Ancient Era countless eons ago? Returned to the present after Breaking Through? What kind of talk was this? They all looked at Shi Jian, thinking he must know what was going on.

Shi Jian stroked his chin, smiling as he replied, "That drop of blood is Shi Hao's own future blood. It's hard to explain in detail, but it's a good thing! Your primary task now is to make good use of that drop of blood and comprehend the Other Transformation Self-Existence Technique."

"The Other Transformation Self-Existence Technique is an incredibly powerful Divine Cultivation Technique. It's a peerless Emperor Technique that can manifest several Incarnations with similar combat power. Besides that, it can also transform one's body into Myriad Ages..." Shi Jian didn't want to tell the truth. He couldn't very well say that a certain guy wasn't even pretending anymore, and seeing that his strength couldn't keep up, he just forcefully activated a cheat. He had even sent the Other Transformation Self-Existence Technique over, so he had to give him some face.

"Sending a drop of future blood to the past to boost one's own strength?" Meng Qi and the others were greatly confused, but they felt it was very impressive. The group chatted about the Other Transformation Self-Existence Technique for a while, then Meng Qi brought up something related to Shi Jian's Cultivation.

"Teacher, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation you asked me to keep an eye on, I can almost redeem it now," Meng Qi said. "After I go back, I'll redeem it into the group." Meng Qi had redeemed some trash Cultivation Techniques from the group into the Reincarnation Space, as well as some Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures. He privately exchanged them with members of the Immortal Traces, so the speed of earning good deeds was very fast.

"Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation? Good brother, I didn't pamper you for nothing..." Shi Jian's eyes lit up. He had now cultivated to the Peak of the Array Realm and was about to Break Through to the Venerable Realm. Now, Meng Qi had even managed to get the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. If he were to engrave it onto his Cave Heaven as well, wouldn't it be explosive when he broke through?

"We're all brothers," Meng Qi waved his hand, indicating there was no need to worry. After gathering for a while, everyone returned to their own worlds.

[Xiao Yan: "If I had known you guys were having such an exciting time, I would have joined in too..."]

After learning about their experiences, Xiao Yan lamented in the chat group. He had originally thought they were just simply going on dungeons to find resources. Who knew these guys were secretly having a group fight behind his back. Without him noticing, they had directly become famous in another world.

[Shi Jian: "What are you saying, what are you saying? Are you regretting not being able to fight alongside your brothers, or regretting not having a chance to show off?"]

[Xiao Yan: "What kind of talk is that, what kind of talk? Can't I want both!"]

[Luo Feng: "It's a pity my strength is insufficient; I couldn't help you all..."]

Everyone chatted in the chat group. Fang Han and Xiao Yan, upon learning that Shi Jian and the others were under siege, also immediately prepared to cross worlds to help. However, Shi Jian and the others managed to hold their own, so they didn't bother the two of them. As for Luo Feng, his strength was even lower. Coming would only be serving as cannon fodder.

Originally, Shi Hao's Cultivation in the organization was similar to Luo Feng's. But Shi Hao liked to use little cheats. Now, Luo Feng was the only one in the group who couldn't keep up with the others.

[Fang Han: "No big deal. Once I conquer the Land of Five Elements dungeon, you all can come here to Cultivate; at least you'll be able to Cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique to Perfection!"]

Fang Han also popped up. He had now found the Land of Five Elements. While Shi Hao and the others were training on Devil Island, he was soloing the dungeon here. He was planning to deliberately attract the attention of the Ancient Demon Venerable of the Land of Five Elements. Once he obtained the spiritual talisman, he could freely bring people into the Land of Five Elements for training. Then, inviting Shi Jian and the others over wouldn't attract the Demon Venerable's attention.

[Shi Jian: "You're already soloing the Land of Five Elements dungeon? Be careful of the Ancient Demon Venerable. If anything happens, let me know, and I'll ask Liu Shen to help you..."]

[Fang Han: "Okay!"]

[Lin Dong: "Liu Shen is truly too strong; I feel like a wisp of her aura could suppress the entire world I'm in..."]

[Meng Qi: "North wind blows, war drums thunder, I raise the banner for Liu Shen!"]

[Meng Qi: "It's one thing for Liu Shen to be so overpowered, but this kid Shi Hao is also so overpowered; his strength has even caught up to mine..."]

The group chatted casually. Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat when he saw their messages. Shi Hao? His strength had caught up to Meng Qi? Luo Feng was truly bewildered. They had met last time and had even cultivated together in the gravity room. They were quite familiar with each other.

Among the many members in the group, they were the two weakest. More importantly, both of them had cultivated the Mo Yun Vine. They had also exchanged experiences on cultivating it. One fed it Mutated Wood Crystals, while the other fed it beast milk.

Luo Feng felt a wave of shame. He had been working hard because of this, vowing to cultivate even more diligently. Now, he suddenly heard that Shi Hao's strength had caught up to Meng Qi. Luo Feng was both happy for him and deeply struck. It had only been a few months.

[Luo Feng: "Did Little Shi Hao's strength improve so quickly?"] Luo Feng couldn't help but ask in the group.

[Meng Qi: "Haha, he's very strong now; you need to work hard. You're the weakest now..."]

[Yang Qi: "Shi Hao's strength indeed improved quickly..."]

[Lin Dong: "That kid really has something..."]

Yang Qi and Lin Dong had both seen Shi Hao's strength; they knew it had caught up to theirs. Transmigrating back to the past to Cultivate and returning after Breaking Through in Realm—who could argue with that? It was too unfair.

Luo Feng sighed helplessly after seeing everyone's responses.

[Luo Feng: "..."] He was deeply struck.

Shi Jian smiled slightly when he saw the chat.

[Shi Jian: "Actually, there's a secret to Shi Hao's rapid strength improvement..."]

[Shi Jian: "As everyone knows, Shi Hao hasn't been weaned yet. Drinking beast milk makes him silly, and his strength improves..."]

Shi Jian spoke meaningfully. Everyone in the group was well aware that Shi Hao hadn't been weaned yet. Luo Feng felt confused when he saw Shi Jian's message.

[Luo Feng: "Could it be that drinking milk helps with Cultivation?"]

[Shi Jian: "I can only say, those who know, know..."]

Meng Qi instantly knew what Shi Jian was up to. Shi Hao's Cultivation improvement was purely due to cheating. It had nothing to do with drinking milk. However, he also responded in the group.

[Meng Qi: "I did see Shi Hao with milk constantly. When we drank alcohol, half of his bottle was alcohol and half was milk; he could flip it freely..."]

[Lin Dong: "Drinking milk has this effect? Isn't that something kids drink?"]

Lin Dong scratched his head, looking at the chat. How come he didn't know that drinking milk could also improve Cultivation? However, Shi Hao indeed never left his milk. Could it be that this stuff really could improve Cultivation?

[Shi Jian: "Shi Hao is a novel protagonist just like you guys. A protagonist in a story wouldn't drink beast milk every day just because he's greedy, right?"]

Shi Jian's argument was well-reasoned. Luo Feng and Lin Dong pondered seriously. It seemed to make sense. Could drinking milk really make one stronger?

Shi Jian struck while the iron was hot, uploading two videos to the group. One video was of Shi Hao secretly drinking beast milk, and the other was of him demonstrating his combat power.

Luo Feng stared wide-eyed at Shi Hao's powerful display of strength. Especially the Supreme Vine on Shi Hao. Whether it was Shi Hao or this Supreme Vine, their combat power, compared to two months ago, had almost undergone earth-shattering changes.

If only Shi Hao's strength had improved, that would be easy to explain. But his Supreme Vine's strength had also improved incredibly fast. Luo Feng could tell at a glance that Shi Hao's Supreme Vine had been cultivated to a terrifying degree, far surpassing his Mo Yun Vine, which he had cultivated with Mutated Wood Crystals.

And Luo Feng had previously discussed his experiences in cultivating the Mo Yun Vine with Shi Hao. He knew that Shi Hao often fed his Supreme Vine milk, although sometimes it was to hide the fact that he hadn't been weaned yet. But he had indeed fed his Supreme Vine milk. Could it be that drinking milk really had some unique benefits? Luo Feng began to ponder.

Did only the beast milk from Shi Hao's world work, or did all milk work? Luo Feng subconsciously found the milk powder that Shi Hao had once ordered on Blue Star. Then, as if possessed, he also placed an order. He wanted to improve too much!
