I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 271: Chapter 135: New Year, Return Journey (Part 2)

...

In the Void Cloud Sea, aboard a Flying Boat, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, the True Qi in his body circulating.

Ever since the event at the Dragon Transformation Pool concluded, he had been consolidating his cultivation.

Now, he had completely stabilized his current realm.

True Qi Perfection, his whole body without leakage!

The True Qi from his Longevity Technique roamed through his limbs and bones, while the True Qi in his Dantian grew at a slow pace.

Looking at Hong Miaojin beside him, Fang Xing couldn’t help but ask, "Ma’am, are we heading to the Southern Border next?"

Hong Miaojin nodded. "Yes. The situation in the Southern Border is the most dangerous, but it’s also a good place for training. What, are you scared?"

Hong Miaojin looked at him, and Fang Xing smiled. "Not at all. I am quite confident in my ability to deal with Demons and Monsters."

"Confidence is what matters. You should also strive to see if you can break through to the True Gang Realm. When the time comes, you’ll be able to achieve great things in Qing Province."

Hearing this, Fang Xing nodded lightly. "Rest assured, Ma’am. I will do my best to break through."

The True Gang Profound Gate.

’Without the Creation from the Dragon Transformation Pool, it would have been a long shot.’

’It would have been difficult to break through the Dragon Gate within a year.’

But now, his confidence was soaring.

In the past few days, besides stabilizing his cultivation, he had also gained a sliver of insight into the True Gang Realm.

Fang Xing was confident he could cross this Dragon Gate.

However, he couldn’t determine the exact timing.

It could take several months, or maybe even half a year.

And that was assuming he was fully prepared to break through this Profound Gate.

But if he took this step, a whole new world would await him.

...

Celestial South, outside Cang Province City.

A Flying Boat descended from the sky.

After five days, they had finally returned to Cang Province.

Looking at Cang Province City, Fang Xing felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

’There’s no place like a familiar one!’

’That place, Jade Capital City, was truly unbearable.’

He had been on edge almost the entire time. Now that he was back in Cang Province, he could finally, completely relax.

After stowing the Flying Boat, Hong Miaojin entered the city with Fang Xing.

They returned to the Cang Province Observatory.

Inside the Marshal’s Mansion, Hong Miaojin summoned everyone for a meeting.

In addition to the twelve Commanders, the other Vice Marshal, Zhang Xuan, was also present.

From the head seat, Hong Miaojin swept her gaze over the crowd and looked at Zhang Xuan. "Has anything happened recently?"

Zhang Xuan stood up and cupped his fists. "Reporting to you, Marshal. The situation is currently stable. There haven’t been any major movements from the Evil Cult or the Demons and Monsters. However, we have received some intelligence, so we still need to remain vigilant."

Hong Miaojin nodded lightly. "Yes. We must remain cautious where caution is due. I’ve gathered you all here today to announce something. From this moment on, I will likely be entering secluded cultivation for a period of time. During my absence, all matters will be handled by Zhang Xuan and Fang Xing—Zhang Xuan will take the lead, and Fang Xing will assist."

Upon hearing this, many people’s faces showed astonishment.

’She’s entering seclusion right after returning from Jade Capital City. Could it be that the Marshal is attempting to break through to the Celestial Realm?!’

A thought surfaced in everyone’s mind, and at this realization, their hearts couldn’t help but churn with excitement.

The Celestial Realm!

That was the Martial Dao Sacred Realm!

To take that step was to become a Martial Saint.

A Celestial Martial Saint!

The entire Cang Province Observatory only had one.

And now, a second one was about to emerge...

They didn’t doubt whether Hong Miaojin could successfully make the breakthrough. After all, she was the one who ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List.

And she had dominated the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List for several years.

Years of accumulation, transforming into a dragon in a single day!

With Hong Miaojin’s foundation and talent, it certainly wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Zhang Xuan stared blankly at Hong Miaojin. Although he had already guessed it, he couldn’t resist asking, "Marshal, are you... about to take that step?"

Hong Miaojin nodded lightly. "This period of seclusion will be long. You will be in charge of the specific situation. Fang Xing will assist. The two of you are to cooperate. Do not allow any chaos to arise!"

Hearing this, the two rose to their feet at the same time. "We will obey the Marshal’s command."

The others also came to their senses, rising and responding in unison.

Hong Miaojin nodded and scanned the crowd. "That will be all for now. Do not grow complacent!"

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison, then rose and left the Marshal’s Mansion.

Soon, only Zhang Xuan and Fang Xing remained.

Looking at the two of them, Hong Miaojin stood up. "Zhang Xuan, during this time, you will be in charge of everything. Familiarize yourself with the duties. Do you understand?"

At her words, Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t say much, simply nodding.

’It seems she’s grooming Zhang Xuan to be her successor.’

Standing to the side, Fang Xing instantly understood.

’Letting Zhang Xuan take command of everything... once Hong Miaojin breaks through to the Celestial Realm, she will probably head to Qing Province.’

’What comes next is clear. She will definitely take over as the Qing Province Commander for the Southern Border.’

’When that time comes, I’ll have to go with her.’

Hong Miaojin had already made this clear to him, and Fang Xing hadn’t refused.

Although the Southern Border was exceptionally dangerous, with Demons and Monsters running rampant, and Qing Province was of the utmost importance, this was also a form of Creation for him.

’I can quickly harvest Enhancement Points and improve my strength.’

’There’s no doubt that enhancements are how I’ve reached my current level.’

’The further I progress, the more resources I’ll consume.’

’And Demons and Monsters are the best "Resources"!’

’The Inner Cores and flesh of Demons and Monsters are the best fuel for my improvement.’

Then, Hong Miaojin looked at Fang Xing. "If anything comes up, just discuss it with Zhang Xuan. All that matters is keeping the situation stable."

"Understood."

Fang Xing nodded.

Hong Miaojin said nothing more. With a wave of her hand, the two took their leave and departed from the Marshal’s Mansion.

Watching their departing figures, Hong Miaojin also vanished from the main hall.

...

Zhang Xuan and Fang Xing stepped out of the Marshal’s Mansion.
