56: Hang it up!
Spirit Envoy descent countdown: 16 days.
Su Wen, having torn through the spatial barrier, has now officially stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm in reality after leaving the Sword Realm Secret Realm!
At this moment, his main body has already mastered three Divine Abilities:
The Sword Realm, a Divine Ability from the Sword Ancestor's life! A single sword strike splits the heavens and forms the Sword Realm!
And the two Divine Abilities, Heaven and Earth Manifestation and Divine Eye Transformation, comprehended from his mythical life!
The remaining Divine Abilities and the power of a Martial Emperor still need time to slowly reflect and integrate into his being.
However, when Su Wen officially broke through to a level comparable to a Martial Emperor in the Xuanwu Realm, he clearly realized that even with only three Divine Abilities, far from reaching any of the 'Three Undying' stages, he should now truly be able to overshadow everything on this Azure Star!
The previous estimation that a Martial Emperor was comparable to a certain stage of the spiritual sublimation path—if compared to the current Azure Star—then perhaps, a mere ninth-stage sublimator would be nothing more than that.
Previously, during the Sword Ancestor's legendary life, Su Wen only vaguely felt that this world was still weak, and coupled with his desire to quickly proceed to the next simulation, he played it safe and didn't fully gauge his definite weight in that world.
But now, with the successful myth simulation and his own Martial Emperor-level combat power, it could be said that Su Wen now possessed the capital to calmly observe the changing tides.
"If in the future Azure Star can evolve and expand like the Divine Martial Realm, then perhaps the future ninth-stage star-level individuals might have some capabilities.
But if measured by the current planet's standards, then the Spirit Realm, and even the Spirit Lord, are nothing more than that!"
Su Wen flicked out a sword light with his finger, killing a spiritually maddened beast, and smiled confidently: "A mere Spirit Realm can be shattered with a flick of a finger!"
Yuchuan City, suburban area, Extraordinary Bureau.
Su Wen returned here again.
After a few days of strong official support, Extraordinary Bureaus were quickly established across the country.
Zhou Fan somehow managed to produce so many spiritual cultivation devices, and now many spiritual talent awakeners have joined.
However, most of them only possess ordinary superpowers.
According to Zhou Fan's talent grading system—Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow—most are Yellow-grade.
And further divided into upper, middle, and lower within each grade, most are Yellow-lower or Yellow-middle grade.
Xuan-grade is rare, not to mention Heaven-grade or Earth-grade.
However, the first Star-Suppressing Squad assembled by Zhou Fan, including Su Wen, consists of seven people, with the lowest spiritual talent being Earth-grade.
Zhou Fan called Su Wen this time because the other six team members have all undergone one sublimation, becoming second-stage sublimators, which means they possess town-level combat power.
Terrifyingly strong!
He urged Su Wen not to fall behind, as Su Wen was, after all, a team member Zhou Fan brought in through the back door.
Even though Zhou Fan greatly trusted Su Wen's future potential, it hadn't materialized yet, and coupled with Zhou Fan's good relationship with Su Wen, it was easy for certain people to find fault.
After all, the resources and support for the Star-Suppressing Squad were national-level and very substantial.
Su Wen casually walked into the Extraordinary Bureau, holding a large pile of snacks: sunflower seeds, candy, potato chips, and soda.
It was as if he had returned home, completely at ease.
Watching the teams of diligent Extraordinary Bureau members cultivating and growing stronger, Su Wen munched on sunflower seeds, taking a cursory but appreciative look at the vibrant young people... and a few uncles... and two grandpas.
Old in age, but not in spirit!
"Nickname! I need an explanation!" Before Su Wen could finish observing the Extraordinary Bureau, which had undergone significant personnel changes in just a few days, he was caught red-handed by Zhou Fan.
It was clear that Zhou Fan was angry.
With the end of the world approaching, his highly anticipated friend had gone missing on him—how could he not be annoyed?
"Haha, Nickname, don't rush, I'll give you a gift later!" Su Wen gave an awkward laugh and handed over a bottle of soda; after all, his method of taking leave was indeed not very honorable.
"What? Your six-cent cheat is on?" Zhou Fan glared at Su Wen, twisted open the soda, and drank it down.
"Yeah! How about I give you a Secret Realm, buddy? A Secret Realm with a legacy!" Su Wen solemnly pulled out a Sword Realm Secret Realm token.
"Pfft—"
Zhou Fan spat out a mouthful of soda, and Su Wen dodged to the side.
"What? A Secret Realm!! And a legacy?!!" Zhou Fan was shocked!
How could he not know? At this point in the world, where would a Secret Realm come from?
The Secret Realm he led his team into was artificially created by Zhou Fan using primal stones!
Su Wen discovering a Secret Realm? This was not spiritual studies at all!
"That's right! And it's a Sword Dao Secret Realm! For practicing martial arts and swordsmanship! Swish, swish, swish!
Your buddy here is now a formidable Sword Immortal!"
It would have been better if Su Wen hadn't gestured, but when he did, a dozen pens on the simple command table flew like swords, carving out streaks of sword qi under Su Wen's command, looking very impressive!
Zhou Fan's mind was a bit muddled!
This was a big deal!
There was no Sword Dao Secret Realm in his reborn memories!
And practicing martial arts?
At the very beginning of the spiritual energy resurgence, there was indeed a martial arts craze, and even some old martial arts masters introduced the Spirit Martial Dao:
Unfortunately, it was gradually eliminated because its progress was too slow compared to the sublimator path.
"How do I use this thing?" Zhou Fan urgently grabbed the token and asked.
"Input your spiritual energy, and with a thought, you'll enter.
You try!"
With that, Su Wen took out another token.
Zhou Fan gave Su Wen a deep look, as if saying: Good brother, did you really turn on a cheat?
Is this something you can just turn on?
Su Wen: It's nothing, really~ Just a cheat, who doesn't have one!
A flash of white light.
Su Wen followed Zhou Fan back into the Sword Realm.
In an instant, ten thousand swords chimed in unison, and the legacies of all swords streaked across the sky like flowing light, finally returning to their rightful places.
Zhou Fan, with a solemn expression, tried to subdue a sword.
As another man with a cheat, Zhou Fan easily obtained a sword and a Sword Dao legacy: the Great White Scripture.
Of course, this was a beginner's gift package Su Wen intentionally gave to his good brother.
This good brother carried a great secret and had even revealed himself to be a reborn person.
If Azure Star was to have healthy development in the future, this good brother would need to work harder.
After Su Wen's myth simulation succeeded, the real world also faced the same troubles as the Divine Martial Realm.
Even more so.
That is, he was too strong, and the world's main forces couldn't keep up!
The world's resilience was too weak!
Perhaps one day in the future, encountering a powerful enemy, a single mistake could turn Azure Star into cosmic dust.
The former Xuanwu Realm was fine, still having martial arts extraordinaries and many martial artists.
But the current Azure Star, with the spiritual energy resurgence less than a month old, and being a resurgence caused by the Spirit Realm invasion, had no combat power to speak of.
Although there was a tech tree to climb, individual power still needed to catch up.
These troublesome matters would, of course, all be handed over to Zhou Fan in the future, who had the heart to save the world and was already on the path of salvation.
Since a good brother had the ability, the burden on his shoulders would naturally be heavier.
And Su Wen's future journey was destined for the myriad worlds in the Void.
Mythical simulation allowed him to roam the heavens, which gave Su Wen an immense advantage.
The secrets of the original world, the Void Divine Way... his mythical body, currently fighting somewhere in the endless time and space, all awaited Su Wen to unveil their mysterious veils.
And 16 days later, the prophesied Spirit Envoy, the threat from the Spirit Realm, would be a good opportunity to eliminate future worries!
While you were contemplating the future, Zhou Fan had already immersed himself in cultivation...
