"So, Jiang Wushen, you an..."
The First Leader's eyes lit up, his gaze full of hope as he looked at Jiang Shu. For soone in his high position, there was practically nothing left to desire.
Although his martial arts talent wasn't outstanding, both Jiang Wushen and Wang Heavenly Human had transford and rejuvenated him, prolonging his lifespan.
Various custom-made supplents, along with a dedicated hypnosis team, ensured he was in optimal condition each day to enter his work.
It could be said that at this stage, his condition was far better than initially.
He possessed both power and longevity.
Now he wished to watch Xuanxing, under his leadership, step by step reach the pinnacle.
Step by step, stand openly in the cosmos.
To beco a cosmic civilization listed among the Star Network, rather than hidden in a corner.
To achieve this, the only reliance was Jiang Wushen.
"I don't have ti..."
However, in the next mont, Jiang Shu's words were like a cold bucket poured down.
Jiang Shu shook his head, but his words soon shifted. After learning about Barbaric Ape Star, he realized it might be an opportunity for Xuanxing.
To develop, Xuanxing couldn't depend solely on him fighting in the Star Ruins Realm and constantly providing resources.
Xuanxing itself needed to grow stronger, and trading with Barbaric Ape Star was Xuanxing's first step into the cosmos.
Although currently, Xuanxing didn't have Ninth Rank experts other than himself.
If there aren't any, create one!
The image of the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile in the Pacific Ocean flashed through his mind.
Originally back, Jiang Shu intended to give it a taste of success, showing it the possibility of crossing tribulation to beco a Transford Realm Demon, and better guard Xuanxing.
Now it seed he needed to put in more effort.
A Transford Realm Demon's presence, along with his own formidable power, should suppress the Barbarian Ape King's private ambitions.
"However, trading with Barbaric Ape Star doesn't require to sit in Xuanxing. The Barbarian Ape King's strength isn't among the top tier of the Ninth Rank. As long as it knows of my existence and there's a Ninth Rank expert present, that's enough."
Listening to Jiang Shu's words, the people in the research institute couldn't help but beco puzzled.
All present were undoubtedly the ones who understood Xuanxing's current situation most in the Xia Country.
Though Xuanxing's martial arts developnt was progressing smoothly now, it was all in low realms.
High realms, the Fifth and Sixth Realm martial arts experts were few.
Not to ntion Ninth Rank experts.
Aside from Jiang Wushen, only Wang Heavenly Human had reached the Divine Breath Realm, Cosmic Seventh Rank.
Reaching Ninth Rank still seed far away.
The First Leader had privately asked before, receiving answers indicating even a century of cultivation might not be enough.
In such circumstances, Jiang Wushen claid Xuanxing had soone about to beco a Ninth Rank expert.
Who?
No one was impatient to ask, everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Shu, so with incomplete cultivation in their hearts even had changes in their breathing rhythm.
If what Jiang Wushen said were true, it undoubtedly ant Xuanxing could trade with Barbaric Ape Star.
Additionally, Xuanxing would have a Ninth Rank expert present, allowing for bolder trades.
After all, Barbaric Ape Star only had the Barbarian Ape King as the sole Ninth Rank expert.
Xuanxing had two!
"The beast in the Pacific Ocean is equivalent to the peak of the Eighth Rank. This ti returning, I will assist it in directly stepping into the Ninth Rank. With it present, Xuanxing should be secure."
Jiang Shu's voice gently stated: "If there's nothing else, I will head to the Pacific Ocean. This matter shouldn't be publicized widely, as there are several Martial Artists still battling Mutant Beasts there; there's no need to let them know more."
"Yes."
Everyone in the research institute agreed, watching Jiang Shu's figure disappear from sight.
"Leader, should we dispatch helicopters to the Pacific Ocean now?"
The secretary hesitated for a mont, softly asking.
Having worked here for many years, he naturally understood the underlying aning of Jiang Wushen's words—keep discretion, essentially not to broadcast. As for leaders going to observe, that was within allowed limits.
"Go take a look. After all, if that beast truly reaches Ninth Rank, we need to establish real contact with it. Because if Jiang Wushen isn't around, we'll rely on its protection."
"It seems Jiang Wushen's strength has taken another step forward. He wouldn't say making a beast a Ninth Rank without absolute power to suppress it."
The First Leader remarked emotionally, each eting seeming to reveal Jiang Shu's continuously growing strength.
It's simply astounding.
"Go notify Wang Heavenly Human, closing himself off to cultivate is like building a car behind closed doors. Although the beasts' cultivation and our martial artists' cultivation differ, watching the promotion to Ninth Rank might provide insight."
"If he can reach the Eighth Rank, it would be a good thing for Xuanxing. After all, Xuanxing still focuses on martial arts."
"Yes."
All kinds of orders were issued, determining future dealings with Barbaric Ape Star required the mass production of Mutant Beast flesh. These ats even had to cater to the Barbaric Ape's taste, to sell for better prices.
Even the statistics on Crystal Stone Veins needed clarification, knowing what's scarce, essential, or can be postponed.
The entire national machinery began to operate.
In corners unseen by many, Xuanxing acquired a new direction.
The sky was faintly bright.
The rays of sunrise shone through Green Mountain upon the city, bustling with commuters going to work, students to school, and martial artists practicing early.
Several helicopters departed from Shengjing, heading to the Pacific Ocean.
Inside them were no ordinary figures.
Each one could influence Xuanxing's political and economic landscape.
But in their eyes, the usual calm was replaced with excitent and tension, like ordinary people who had never seen the world, about to enter a big city.
Direction confird, only the sight remained.
Only then could one be truly at ease!
And at this mont.
Above the Pacific Ocean.
Jiang Shu stood in the sky, his aura unveiled, a radiant array of Divine Skills behind him like a peacock spreading its wings, vibrating the void.
Beneath him, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile crouched on an island.
It looked at Jiang Shu in terror, having erged from the Cang Mang Domain, unable to miss Jiang Shu's current realm.
Nirvana Realm!
And it's the Nirvana Realm Middle Stage!
How long has passed?
It seed like it had only taken a nap, yet upon waking, its master had cultivated to such a realm.
Suddenly, extre fear surrounded it.
Previously, Jiang Shu was terrifyingly strong, but after all, he was just in the Primordial Pill Realm, and as an Inner Core Realm Demon Beast, it played so role.
But now, Nirvana Realm, such a pace of advancent, could it really keep up?
If not, what fate awaited it?
The Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile dared not ponder deeply, trembling and crouching silently, not daring to speak, as if awaiting divine judgnt.
Although before, its master promised to help it reach the Transformation Realm.
Yet now, it neither dared to ask nor speak, feeling retaining its life was the greatest blessing of the world.
After all, it had once before attacked its master.
Recalling this, boundless regret filled its heart.
If it had submitted to its master from the start, how wonderful would it have been.
"Alright, raise your head, you've been dutiful as my servant, loyal to ..."
Jiang Shu's voice finally echoed, as from his waist storage bag flew a grand tripod like boundless azure sky and vast blue sea.
Azure Sky and Blue Sea Tripod!
From within, a portion of Ten Thousand Xias Dragon Roc and Ghost Eyes Netherworld Tiger's refined flesh emitted strong demonic power vibrations.
These vibrations imnsely attracted the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile.
As it trembled, raising its head, Jiang Shu's voice fell again:
"Today, I shall assist you, to behold the Transformation Realm."
