I Can Travel between Two Worlds

Of course, the premise is that the spiritual energy is sufficient...

With only those vast fields of Spirit Companion Grass, I’m afraid it’s still impossible to supply ten thousand Golden Core cultivators.

Unless Lin Chen can bring back enough Spirit Stones.

Or rather, bring back an entire Spirit Vein!

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense continued to wander around.

In the late stage of the Golden Core, the range of Divine Sense centers on the cultivator’s body, covering a distance of twenty miles.

But Lin Chen’s Celestial Derivation Technique has been cultivated to the Eighth Layer.

That’s equivalent to an additional eighty percent improvement on the original base, reaching a range of thirty-six miles!

"However, the foundation is still lacking!"

"Cultivating Foundation Establishment cultivators is not difficult, but wanting to cultivate Golden Core cultivators on a large scale, that’s quite a different story..."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Based on expert calculations, if a single spirit root cultivator relies exclusively on spiritual energy for cultivation in a Spirit Gathering Array.

From the First Layer of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would take about six to eight years.

And from the First Layer of Foundation Establishment to Foundation Establishment Perfection, it would take about a hundred years...

But if there are sufficient Spirit Stones to ensure cultivation, this time can be shortened to ten to fifteen years.

That’s nearly a tenfold difference in cultivation speed.

Yet, for a single spirit root Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, using Spirit Stones for eight hours of cultivation daily.

To go from the First Layer of Foundation Establishment to Foundation Establishment Perfection, around a hundred thousand Spirit Stones are required.

It might not sound like much, but what if this number increased ten thousand times?

To cultivate ten thousand Golden Core cultivators, the consumption of Spirit Stones would reach the level of billions!

Hmm, approximately equivalent to a hundred and fifty bounty-listed Lin Chen...

Or at Lin Chen’s current earning speed, it would take five hundred years to afford...

"But even Golden Core cultivators are only equivalent to Martial Spirit powerhouses."

"To truly change the power disparity between the Human Race and Demon Beasts, ten thousand Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t be enough, perhaps ten thousand Nascent Soul cultivators would have a chance..."

Lin Chen pondered silently.

How many times more resources would be needed to cultivate ten thousand Nascent Soul cultivators compared to Golden Core cultivators?

Lin Chen couldn’t calculate it, nor did he have samples to support it, because he hadn’t yet cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage himself.

"Overall, it’s a long and arduous journey..."

"However, cultivation still holds immense importance for the martial path of Great Xia... the most basic aspect being longevity!"

A Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily live up to two hundred years without illness or disaster.

Similarly, in the Martial Arts Realm, to live up to two hundred years, one must reach the Martial Venerable Realm.

Even Martial Spirit powerhouses can only live to a hundred and fifty years.

After all, cultivation and the martial path are fundamentally different.

The martial path emphasizes external refinement, strengthening Qi and Blood, and the physique.

Cultivation focuses on internal nurturing, cultivating Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and pursuing longevity.

But after martial artists practice cultivation, even Martial Spirit level individuals can easily live up to two hundred years, allowing more time for martial path cultivation.

Now, including Elder Jiang, Elder Long, Wang Lishan, and other veteran powerhouses.

Have all started practicing cultivation, with many having stepped into the late stage of Foundation Establishment...

Even Li Nian has now become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

These martial path powerhouses, though somewhat advanced in age.

Basically, all possess True Spirit Root or higher aptitude. Despite starting late, with resource support, they are catching up!

With Spirit Stones and Perfect Foundation Establishment... Even if older, they can slowly catch up.

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense continued to wander.

Besides the vast fields of spiritual medicine and Spirit Plants, Lin Chen also saw a dedicated Alchemy Department within the Military Region.

Hundreds of Alchemy Rooms, thousands of Alchemy Instruments, can easily produce tens of thousands of pills in a day.

The Artifact Refining Room is the same, as long as there are sufficient raw materials, thousands of Top Grade magical artifacts can be refined in a day without effort.

In addition to this, Lin Chen saw a special unit within the Military Region.

This unit is not large, consisting of about three hundred individuals, both men and women, all under twenty years of age.

At the same time, they have a special codename "Immortal Martial Artist."

As the name suggests, this entire unit follows the path of Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation.

This unit was proposed for selection by Wang Lishan three years ago.

All chosen were fifteen or sixteen-year-old youths, with the minimum spirit root standard being Top Grade Single Spirit Root.

Even among these three hundred, Earth Spirit Root cultivators are not few, and Celestial Spirit Roots are not absent...

This was a nationwide recruitment by Wang Lishan, recruiting genuine talents!

And in just three years, these Immortal Martial Artists have all surpassed the Foundation Establishment Stage, while their martial arts realm has reached the Martial Master level...

They enjoy the best cultivation conditions in Great Xia.

Spirit Stones, Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, Qi Blood Pills, and even Little Bull Tiger Pills are all provided!

"Maybe in another twenty years... these three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators could become three hundred Golden Core cultivators?"

Lin Chen thought to himself.

Three hundred Golden Core cultivators, this is almost unimaginable in the cultivation realm, or on the land of Qing State.

Perhaps only the Wenda Sect in the entire Qing State can boast so many Golden Core disciples...

But that is the result of the accumulation of thousands of years of foundation.

And for Great Xia, it might not even take thirty years to achieve this.

"Ultimately, it’s the technology, ideas, and institutional structure... that restricts the cultivation realm."

Lin Chen gently shook his head.

Not to mention that this is the current state of Qing State.

Even after thirty thousand years or three hundred thousand years, Qing State might still be the same.

Conflicts between good and evil, cultivator skirmishes... The wars won’t cease!

This is the inherent defect of the cultivation realm...

"It’s a pity I can’t bring the talents from the High Martial World over... Otherwise, I would’ve unified Qing State long ago."

Lin Chen muttered softly.

With a flicker of thought, he retracted his Divine Sense.

Releasing Divine Sense with full force is exhausting; in just a moment Lin Chen felt a bit mentally fatigued.

Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.

In less than twenty-four hours, it would be time for the next crossover.

"The Seven-Turned Golden Core is considered achieved... It’s just a pity the martial path still has some gap to the Martial Monarch Realm."

Lin Chen rubbed his chin, estimating that it might take another three to five months, rushing to break through to the Martial Monarch before his thirtieth birthday.

...

The next afternoon, Lin Chen prepared for a new round of crossing over.

In thirteen years, hundreds of crossings, Wang Lishan and others were already exceedingly familiar with the entire process.

He placed the materials prepared in advance into a Nanobag and handed them to Lin Chen.

Then he patted Lin Chen’s shoulder and said:

"Chen, we plan to let you meet some people in a while..."

"Meet whom?"

Lin Chen’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"Who else? The people from the Human Alliance..."

"With the current changes in Great Xia, which country among the Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains isn’t aware?"

"Recently, the Human Alliance has been pressing us, all wanting to meet your true visage!"

Wang Lishan sighed and then looked at Lin Chen, seeking his opinion:

"Lin Chen, what’s your view, should you meet them?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment after hearing this.

The High Martial World is divided into Seven Kingdoms and Twelve Domains.

Among them, the Seven Great Nations are led by Great Xia, and within the other Twelve Domains, there are hundreds of small countries.

Although Great Xia is the strongest country, other strong nations like Mo Country cannot be underestimated.

If we can get some benefits from those countries, that would be excellent.

Not to mention, countering Demon Beasts isn’t solely the affair of Great Xia.

In the entire High Martial World, other countries also hold many Martial Realms, collaboratively opposing Demon Beasts.

Most importantly, Lin Chen is now very confident in his own strength.

After some time, even Wang Lishan might not be Lin Chen’s match...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Alright then, let’s meet in a while!"

Wang Lishan nodded after hearing this, with a calm expression saying: "Okay, we’ll act according to your decision!"

Soon, the countdown on Lin Chen’s arm was reset...

...

Qing State, Qinghe City.

Lin Chen sat up from the bed, looked at the slightly bright sky outside the window, and nodded slightly.

Ever since awakening the Candle Dragon Martial Spirit, the High Martial World and the cultivation realm have maintained a "12-hour" time gap.

The cultivation realm is around five or six in the morning, while the High Martial World is five or six in the evening.

"Calculating the time, it’s about time to execute the plan..."

Lin Chen murmured, sending a message to his master, indicating he was going into closed-door meditation for a period.

Soon after, Lin Chen used the Earth Escape Technique, heading south another thousand miles from Qinghe City.

Later, Lin Chen transformed into Xu Shi’s appearance and headed toward Qinghe City.

After infiltrating Qinghe City, Lin Chen went to Li Zhenqian’s residence...
