Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 612 - 27: Advancement, Source Star_3

The once vast ocean had expanded by an unfathomable amount, and new lands emerged from the tumultuous sea, forming a new continent.

This new land was brimming with life, possessing countless rare resources, and energy that was exceptionally dense—a natural cultivation holy land.

Above the land, even in what were once barren wildernesses, towering mountains had appeared as if they had always been there.

In secret, even more resource secret realms had emerged. These places held unique resources that significantly enhanced the planet’s foundation.

Wang Sheng’s virtual world originally encompassed the entire planet, but now it seemed somewhat inadequate.

"The whole planet must have expanded by more than double. The spirit world that used to cover it is now somewhat insufficient. Luckily, the added areas are uninhabited, so the impact isn’t too significant... But with so much additional territory, hasn’t gravity changed at all..."

This starry sky also had the existence of gravitational laws.

Yet, with such a vast increase in land and sea, the planet’s gravity remained unchanged?

Of course, this was actually a fortunate occurrence.

If gravity had suddenly increased, cultivators might have managed, but ordinary people might not have coped.

But could things really be that simple?

Soon, Wang Sheng sensed something amiss.

Approximately two days passed before the changes to the planet reluctantly ceased.

"The planet will said benefits would come, and I haven’t felt them yet. It shouldn’t be false news, which means the transformation must be coming soon, right?"

His guess was correct.

As the planet’s transformation ended, gravity began to increase gradually, as though a restriction had been lifted.

"It seems the increased gravity was limited by the Starry Sky Rules!"

With the increase in gravity, the opportunity for planetary progression also arrived.

A mysterious and formidable force descended.

Wang Sheng, with his impressive strength, got a glimpse of this force, but he couldn’t discern anything before being instantly ejected, gaining no substantial information.

After being ejected, he discovered that this mysterious force, wielding energy, began transforming his body.

The transformation was slight but still led to a minor advancement in both his body and Primordial Spirit.

The progress was small, but it was undeniably present.

"Is this the opportunity spoken of by the planet will... indeed, it’s not bad at all!"

Planetary progression was beneficial to Wang Sheng, and even more so for other cultivators and ordinary people.

The mysterious force, utilizing energy and special powers, made everyone’s strength and spirit much stronger, to the point where even ordinary people’s physiques could now compare to those of a Third Grade Martial Artist, possessing formidable strength.

Of course, due to the planet’s enhancement, the increase in gravity meant that such physical improvements simply maintained balance, allowing ordinary beings to survive normally on the advanced planet.

In reality, ordinary people remained ordinary, they did not suddenly become Martial Artists.

Yet this change was an underlying enhancement. If faced with a world or planet without advancement, their planet’s cultivators would naturally have an edge.

Of course, this advantage applies mainly to lower-level cultivators at or below the Third Realm. Upon reaching the Fourth Realm and undergoing transformation, the gap would diminish.

Otherwise, Wang Sheng wouldn’t have advanced only a bit.

Even so, this was sufficient. An increased foundation meant that more powerful Martial Artists could emerge.

Indeed, for those Datong cultivators who had not experienced transformation, this process allowed them a glimpse into the essence of cultivation, which was the most critical opportunity of all.

The cultivators of Datong began using this opportunity to break through.

Those at the peak of the Fourth Realm ascended to the Fifth Realm, grasping more of their own system’s powers.

Those already prominent figures in the Fifth Realm broke through to the Sixth Realm.

Cultivators of the Sixth Realm could now touch the starry heavens, truly Starry Sky Level combatants.

To reach the Seventh Realm was to be among the elite of Starry Sky Level combatants.

One advancement was like ascending to the heavens in a single step!

Of course, the true Cultivators who had reached the Sixth Realm were few, merely three individuals.

The rest lacked sufficient foundation.

Wang Sheng pondered a moment, then updated the Strong List.

"First: Zhu Xiao, Body Cultivation, Sixth Realm

Second: Huang Yue, Sacrificial Dao, Sixth Realm

Third: Long Lie, Spirit Path, Sixth Realm

...

The top three remained largely unchanged.

Of course, since each path is self-created, without a way forward, it was quite possible to be overtaken by those coming after.

Even the strong ones on the Strong List could fall in cultivation.

The Virtual World, after all, could not fully simulate the rules.

A breakthrough was a matter of life and death, and even if one succeeded in the Virtual World, failure in reality was still possible.

After all, the real world is the foundation, and the Virtual World is just a powerful aid.

"The future will be the most competitive time for the Strong List..."

Wang Sheng smiled, this was to his advantage.

He was going to stir things up!

And that wasn’t all—

"The advancement of the planet even brought hidden benefits. The creatures of the planet evolving meant both the scattered spiritual power and the Life Essence Qi became more substantial and of higher quality!"

Ordinary people’s physical constitutions were strengthened, comparable to the original Third Grade Martial Artists, although this was not manifested due to the planet’s suppression, the essence remained unchanged.

Now, whatever harvested in the Virtual World was comparable to the former Martial Artists.

The quality was naturally beyond all previous comparison.

"It seems the planet’s advancement has brought me quite a bit of benefit, I might even say I am the biggest winner!"

The elevation of beings meant more and better harvest in the Virtual World.

This meant even greater help for his cultivation.

"What an unexpected joy!"

Wang Sheng was in high spirits, such unexpected surprises were the most delightful.

"Keep improving, the more the better!"

However, no matter how much he looked forward to it, such an opportunity was not without its limits.

A day later, the transformation ended.

Wang Sheng witnessed the mighty power of the starry sky, in just three days a planet went through a monumental transformation.

All beings had benefitted from it.

The next day, Huangtian arrived at Qingshan Village, and Wang Sheng took him to the highest peak of the transformed planet.

Looking at the greatly changed planet, Huangtian felt very moved.

"Is this our planet?... Even without seeing the whole thing, one can feel its magnificence!"

"Is the pressure great? You could be commanding this entire planet, right now there are only twenty billion beings, but in the future, there will be much more..."

Twenty billion beings already made the originally unenlarged planet seem sparse, let alone now.

As the sole head of the only nation, his status was high, and so was the pressure he carried.

"Pressure? Yes, I have it, but I will not give up!"

This was what he had been looking forward to since his days in the Taiping Sect.

"Is that so? Then keep up the good work!"

He took Huangtian for a tour at the peak of the planet.

Clearly, even reaching the Sixth Realm he remained unwavering!

With that, Wang Sheng was ready to leave.

Now in the Sixth Realm, Huangtian could return on his own, which was a good opportunity to experience the changes in different areas.

But just as he was about to depart, Huangtian called out to him.

"Sir, there are already suggestions for the planet’s name. Source Star, the star of origin. We won’t remain in this corner, but this place will hold the utmost status!"

"Source Star?" Wang Sheng murmured it, arriving at a certain answer.

"A good name."

With that, the Datong Mother Star had its own name.

Source Star!
