I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 291: Chapter 141: Departure, Mortal Hell

"Lord Fang, you’ll be going too, won’t you?" Zhang Xuan looked at Fang Xing.

Hearing this, Fang Xing gave a slight nod.

There was nothing to hide; it was only a matter of time anyway.

"Alas, with this, our squad’s strength will probably plummet to the bottom," Zhang Xuan sighed.

Fang Xing smiled faintly. "Don’t be discouraged, Lord Zhang. The Observatory is full of talent, and more geniuses are bound to appear in the future. Perhaps some will even be greater."

At his words, Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes.

’The odds of that are about the same as being hit by a meteorite.’

...

The two of them waited outside, chatting and laughing.

Before long, the heavy gates of the Marshal’s Mansion swung open. The Steward of the Marshal’s Mansion looked out at the crowd and announced, "A Level Squad Commanders and Vice Marshals, please enter. The Marshal has instructions for you."

It was time.

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan and Fang Xing exchanged a glance. They straightened their clothes and strode toward the Marshal’s Mansion.

The commanders and vice marshals of the other squads tactfully took their leave.

As Fang Xing and Zhang Xuan entered the mansion, Zhou Yu and the other commanders followed.

As it happened, everyone was present today.

Before long, everyone had arrived at the main hall of the Marshal’s Mansion.

The Steward of the Marshal’s Mansion served everyone hot tea.

A dozen or so people took their seats.

Before long, a figure in purple appeared outside the main hall.

Hong Miaojin!

Looking at Hong Miaojin, Fang Xing felt a jolt. ’Her aura... I can no longer perceive its depths...’

The Heaven and Earth Rank lingered all around Hong Miaojin, like an invisible wall that cut her off from everything.

She seemed to have merged with Heaven and Earth.

She was clearly right before their eyes, yet it was as if she wasn’t there at all.

With the Heaven and Earth Rank swirling around her, even an unintentionally released wisp of her aura could inflict an intense spiritual pressure on others.

For Fang Xing, who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit, this feeling was even more pronounced.

The suppression of the Heaven and Earth Rank!

Merely by releasing her Rank, she could suppress everything!

The transition from the True Essence Realm to the Celestial Human Realm was a transcendence of life itself!

A hidden dragon soaring into the sky, free to roam Heaven and Earth!

Everyone rose and bowed with clasped hands.

"Congratulations, Marshal, on becoming a Celestial!"

As their voices rang out in unison, Hong Miaojin gave a slight nod and glided to the seat of honor at the head of the hall.

She scanned the crowd, her gaze pausing on Fang Xing for a moment, a hint of gratification in her eyes.

"Be seated."

At Hong Miaojin’s words, everyone sat back down.

The commanders were all a little thrilled as they looked at Hong Miaojin.

They had, in a sense, personally witnessed the birth of a Celestial Martial Saint.

Taking this step was like entering a whole new world.

To wield the Power of Heaven and Earth, to control the Momentum of Heaven and Earth.

Every single action could stir the world around them.

This was a realm they might never be able to touch in their entire lives.

The Celestial Human Realm wasn’t something one could reach with talent alone. It required opportunity and fortune—all were indispensable.

To step into this realm was to surpass the stage of the Martial Dao God.

It was to become one of the Immortal Gods!

"Marshal, my sincerest congratulations. This is the first time I’ve ever witnessed the birth of a Celestial Human Realm master."

Zhang Xuan said with a cheerful laugh.

Hong Miaojin was in high spirits. She looked at Zhang Xuan and said, "Cultivate diligently, and perhaps you’ll have such a chance one day."

"I’m afraid there’s no hope for me. Aside from you, Marshal, the only one here with a chance is probably Lord Fang."

Zhang Xuan sighed.

All eyes invariably turned to Fang Xing.

They clearly recalled that when Hong Miaojin first seconded Fang Xing, his cultivation had only been at the third or fourth layer of the True Qi realm.

But now, he had already reached True Gang.

In terms of cultivation and strength, Fang Xing was second only to Hong Miaojin and Zhang Xuan.

Reaching True Gang in a single year!

Even in all of Celestial South, the only one whose terrifying rate of improvement could surpass his was likely Hong Miaojin.

"When did you break through?" Hong Miaojin asked, looking at Fang Xing.

"I just broke through a few days ago, Marshal," Fang Xing replied.

Hong Miaojin gave a slight nod, a smile gracing her exquisite features. "Excellent. Your progress is very fast."

"You flatter me, Marshal. My breakthrough was partly due to luck."

Fang Xing replied.

Hong Miaojin smiled. "Luck is a type of strength too. To be able to improve so quickly, you must have worked very hard."

As she spoke, Hong Miaojin glanced at Zhou Yu.

At this glance, Zhou Yu’s face instantly flushed red, and he lowered his head in silence.

Hong Miaojin swept her gaze over everyone and then spoke. "I’ve gathered you all today to announce something. In a few days, I will be leaving Cang Province for the Southern Border, and Fang Xing will be accompanying me."

"The Southern Border!!!"

The expressions on everyone’s faces changed at Hong Miaojin’s words.

As a province adjacent to the Southern Border, they were naturally aware of the situation there.

In all of Great Jing, the most dangerous place was, without a doubt, the Southern Border.

A territory bordering Great Wei, it was plagued not only by foreign enemies from Great Wei but also by rampaging Demons, Monsters, and Evil Cults.

By comparison, the situation in Celestial South was considered good.

In a place like the Southern Border, not even a Celestial Martial Saint could guarantee their absolute safety.

Still, the news of Hong Miaojin and Fang Xing’s departure also filled everyone with a sense of reluctance.

Although they had their suspicions, to actually hear the announcement was, for a moment, still hard to accept.

A hush fell over the main hall as everyone lowered their heads.

Fang Xing was also moved by the scene.

’We may not have interacted much, but we’ve still worked together for a long time.’

’It’s impossible not to have formed some attachments.’

However, Fang Xing was already used to it.

’From leaving Qingshan County, to the Jiang Province Observatory, and now to Cang Province...’

’As long as I keep growing, I’m bound to reach ever-wider circles.’
