Chapter 2052

"Now everything is going well; as long as the alien faction doesn't make a major breakthrough, we should be able to break through 4000 layers before the training period ends." Xiao Feng is in a great mood.

Originally, when he saw that he needed to occupy 10,000 cities, he felt very depressed, feeling this stage was absurd.

But as time passed, he witnessed the NPCs in the hegemony game struggling bitterly for over two thousand years; he himself had also become integrated into this environment, as if he had truly returned to antiquity, leading a group of human ancestors in contending with alien civilizations for territory, wits and courage.

According to this pace, around 10,000 years of hegemony time, we should be able to occupy enough cities.

Xiao Feng paused the game, left the Myriad Heavens Tower and returned to the World Ancient Tree to cultivate.

Both cultivation and the two major challenges are important; neither can be neglected.

After cultivating for 12 hours, he went again to the Origin Mi Jing, turning into a shattered Li Ti and a fragmented-will remnant, gathering his own broken limbs and bones in the cosmic starry sky.

Over these eight months, his willpower has been growing, increasing from single-heart 48 uses to 53 uses, becoming ever more proficient.

Having just stepped into the Sovereign realm, everything about him is growing rapidly and steadily; his Xian Xia Li Ti continuously absorbs spiritual power from the Myriad Spirit Tree, while his mental will surges by 250,000 to 300,000 points per day, now approaching 200 million willpower points.

The 53 will branches act simultaneously in the void, gathering the surrounding Li Ti powder and moving toward the main body.

This efficiency is far greater than that of other players; the robots of Zu Jian Xing, although they are "multi-core" robots, their mechanical settings cause them, after Li Ti shattering,

Afterwards, they lose most of their computing power and can now only operate honestly as a "single-core".

After staying in the Origin Mi Jing for 12 hours, Xiao Feng gathered some Li Ti fragments and repaired his pitted body somewhat.

Half of his body floated in the starry sky, his cheese-like right hand gripping half of his left foot's sole, with no leg to connect.

"Today's mission completed, go home to cultivate!"

Xiao Feng exited the challenge space and returned to the World Ancient Tree.

Then another 12 hours of cultivation.

After cultivation ended, he went again to the Myriad Heavens Tower, staying there for 12 hours, which equals 5 days inside the tower and 50 years in the hegemony game's internal time.

Then he returned to the World Ancient Tree for another 12 hours of cultivation, after which he went to the Origin Mi Jing.

Thus, day after day, he repeats roughly the same routine, just like a job.

However, he feels no boredom at all; daily growth is visible, and amidst the monotony there are also surprises.

Moreover, the daily 12 hours of cultivation time is not just sitting around doing nothing.

He now has single-heart over fifty uses, allowing him to chat remotely with cross-server friends via the friend function while discussing the Dao with Xun Shuang Xianzi, all the while not neglecting his cultivation.

What's more, at home he is accompanied by ten stunning goddesses of various styles, making his little life incredibly comfortable, beyond description.

That day, Xiao Feng was, as usual, engaged in cultivation and enlightenment.

Suddenly, the friend list flashed, and "I Pick Up Trash in the Myriad Heavens", who had been offline for eight months, came online!

This guy suddenly disappeared for several months, and Xiao Feng was also curious what he had been up to; seeing him online, he immediately sent a message: "Old brother, are you offline to have a child"

"to have a child, it's been that long?"

Responding to him was Qian Sha's hearty laugh: "Not married yet, where would a child come from? I went to break through the Sovereign realm, haha."

"Eh, you also broke through!" Xiao Feng, hearing this, was very surprised but also felt it was natural.

Besides breaking through, there really isn't anything that would keep someone continuously online for eight months without distraction.

Qian Sha is a core noble member of the Evil Realm, already having reached the peak of transcendence long ago, so his breakthrough now is not strange.

He laughed: "Yeah, I've been suppressing it for over two thousand years; originally I wanted to wait another ten-odd years, play the hegemony war game to its ending, then calmly break through. But seeing you break through the realm and charge into the Myriad Heavens Tower, I couldn't hold back either, so I moved up my plan."

"Uh... holy crap? You mean you could have broken through long ago but deliberately suppressed it for over two thousand years?" Xiao Feng was stunned.

It is said that breaking through to Sovereign is extremely difficult; averaged across all planets and civilizations in the universe, it's impossible for a Sovereign to be born every year. Among tens of billions of peak transcendents, only 1-2 people succeed every ten years, and when spread among various clans and cosmic nations, it's even fewer.

But how did it become so simple for them?

Xiao Feng broke through in four months, Qian Sha in eight months; both went smoothly without encountering any obstacles.

Could this be survivorship bias?

Qian Sha explained: "Yeah, it's not just us bragging; among the Evil Realm's hundred thousand pure-blood evil god descendants, my aptitude is the highest, but the old ancestor wouldn't let me break through that quickly, so I had no choice but to suppress myself."

"Ah? Why wouldn't they let you break through?" Xiao Feng exclaimed in astonishment.

Qian Sha

He didn't elaborate, merely saying: "This concerns a completely new cultivation method; I'm basically a test subject. So far the experimental results are not bad; I expect that soon, all major civilizations in the universe will promote this Qi Luck cultivation method."

"Qi Luck cultivation method? You broke through to Sovereign by following the Qi Luck path?" Xiao Feng became even more bewildered.

He already knows the Qi Luck cultivation technique and such!

Although it's in the game, applying it in the real world would also be no problem. However, in the real world he cannot easily control a clan's Qi Luck; the paltry Qi Luck of mere Blue Star means little to him.

Qian Sha replied: "Right, you also know this?"

Xiao Feng responded: "To be frank, I use the virtual Qi Luck cultivation technique every day to boost my cultivation... No wonder your cultivation has been catching up so quickly; it turns out you're doing the same."

"Uh... hahaha, we really are fated! Not bad, I cultivate using the Qi Luck method both Xian Shang and Xian Xia; this time I've been offline for eight months, my level has dropped quite a bit, I need to work hard to catch up. If we get a chance to meet, let's exchange insights on the Qi Luck path!" Qian Sha laughed heartily.

"Sure, we'll talk more when the chance arises. You should probably be heading to the Myriad Heavens Tower now; I won't disturb you." Xiao Feng gladly accepted.

Qian Sha said: "Yeah, I'm striving to keep up with your footsteps!"

Afterwards he hung up the chat and went offline again.

Going to Shen Jie shows as offline status; the Myriad Heavens Tower and each Shen Jie are not in the same space as the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Xiao Feng unexpectedly learned that in reality too someone uses the Qi Luck method to break through, and his heart inevitably stirred with ripples.

"The virtual body is almost reaching Ji Zhou; if things go smoothly

", I'll go visit the predecessors Yu Huang and Gao Tao to inquire into the mysteries of the Qi Luck cultivation method." Xiao Feng thought.

After eight months of arduous journey, his virtual body draws ever closer to Di Qiu, expected to arrive within two months.

During the process he also saw countless beautiful starry skies; the virtual body feeds all its sights and sounds back to the main body, equivalent to him using an alternate account to go out and gather experiences— the experience is no different from the main body going in person.
