Every cultivation is like this, the farther you go, the slower the consumption and speed become.
However, Wang Sheng, with the help of the progress bar and harvesting pure spiritual power and life essence qi from the virtual world, wouldn’t slow down too much.
Being able to cultivate to the later stage of “Refining God and Returning to Void. Immortal Embryo” was enough for now.
Next, he also had to spend time improving himself.
…
Time passed,
In the 100th new year, Datong celebrated its centennial with a grand gathering, and just like the 90th anniversary, the Hidden Dragon Society was held again.
In addition, there were other grand events.
This time, even without Wang Sheng’s promise, it still garnered significant attention.
Spanning five worlds led by Datong, nearly two hundred billion sentient beings, with over ninety percent of them paying attention.
In the end, a talent from the Body Cultivation branch of Zhu Xiao emerged from the Hidden Dragon Society, securing the top spot with Fifth Realm cultivation.
A Fifth Realm under the age of thirty.
Across the five worlds, it was extremely terrifying.
Even from a strength perspective, he was no longer “hidden”.
Likewise, this was proof of Datong’s rapid growth; the more powerful the world, the more stable the fate, the greater the chance of geniuses and powerhouses appearing.
As the anniversary passed, everything went back to normal. The resources of the five worlds led by Datong saw no setbacks or insubordination; with stable fate, development was naturally exceedingly fast.
Especially with various energy technologies.
Due to adopting technology from the Tianhe Federation, Datong’s overall technology advanced at a pace that was hard to comprehend.
Especially in the projects under Li Xueqian’s supervision.
Li Xueqian, a Saint recognized by the Starry Sky Rules, with the full support of an entire Datong.
His capabilities were formidable, his resources ample.
After gaining technology from the Tianhe Federation, any project he led advanced by leaps and bounds.
Originally, some researchers from the Tianhe Federation looked down on Li Xueqian, but within less than a year, they recognized how dreadful he was.
The title of Dean of Datong Science Academy was well-deserved.
Moreover, the researcher system in Datong was also a cultivation system, not something ordinary researchers could compare with.
The generational upgrades of energy cars, energy lamps, and even the Wanxiang Instrument were extremely rapid.
There were even times when the new generation of products had practical results before the previous one had become widespread.
Datong simply waited for the stage when advancement could no longer speed up before starting to popularize them.
All powers in Datong wanted to collaborate with Li Xueqian.
But very few could actually meet Li Xueqian.
And Xia Yang was one of them.
“Master Xia, what brings you here this time?” Li Xueqian was still very polite to the Sect Hierarch of the Lifeless Sect.
After all, the True Saint was also his mentor.
“It’s like this, Dean Li, Bishop Ni Daoxin told us about an immature technology from the Tianhe Federation, called void information disruption. It can transmit certain information through energy fluctuations over a vast distance.
We hope to use this technology to spread the glory of the True Saint, to let more people know of the True Saint.”
Besides being the Sect Hierarch of the Lifeless Sect, Xia Yang, the other planetary leaders of the Lifeless Sect were bishops.
“Void information disruption…” Li Xueqian had seen countless sets of data.
He soon remembered it.
“I’ve looked into this technology, but it’s not mature. Even if the information could be known by anyone, it’s extremely unstable, and might ultimately yield no results at all. This technology was originally used for the Federation’s military, but they found it impractical and abandoned its development.
As for using it to spread the light of the True Saint… Master Xia, I can tell you clearly, this technology will be hard to improve. The environment of the starry sky is too complex. Even with modifications, your plan might not succeed.”
Li Xueqian shook his head, unconvinced by the technology.
The difficulty was high, and success was uncertain.
Xia Yang, however, didn’t seem to mind: “I believe that with the blessing of the True Saint, we can surely cover those in need with the light of the True Saint. The True Saint saves those in suffering and difficulty, and will not be obstructed by time and space.”
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that this was the Lifeless Sect, Li Xueqian might have just left directly.
But since the words had been spoken, he naturally wouldn’t refuse: “If that’s the case, I’ll give it a try. But we’ll need a few researchers familiar with this technology to cooperate.”
“We will have people over shortly, rest assured.”
The Lifeless Sect was already a massive force, and with official backing, it had huge annual event funds.
Soon enough, two researchers from the Tianhe Federation who had previously studied void information disruption technology were found.
Neither of them was resistant.
Li Xueqian’s reputation wasn’t just in Source Star, but throughout all of Datong.
This was a chance to work with Dean Li!
How could they possibly miss it?
Even to learn just a little was enough.
It was only when they truly cooperated that they understood why Li Xueqian’s reputation was so widespread.
“Two months, just two months, and he improved and progressed the originally incomplete technology. During this period, he also oversaw other more important projects… We felt like fools in his presence.”
After the project was over, the two cooperative researchers returned to their own institutes, bragging about their experience.
Their inner shock hadn’t subsided even now.
After hearing their story, the other people in the institute had only one thought —
“Freak!”
They had thought the title of Saint was just hype, but now it seemed they might have underestimated it…
Well, how could someone who developed a ship with speeds rivaling those of the Seventh Realm in just a few decades be weak.
Meanwhile, the “freak” mentioned by the other researchers handed over the item to Xia Yang.
