Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 697: Chapter 690: Target! True Realm

「One week later.」

A high-level meeting of the Earth Human Alliance was in session.

"Everyone, that summarizes the current situation."

Seated at the head of the conference table, Zhou Yuanjue addressed the many senior leaders of humanity present.

This meeting was of great importance, so he had appeared in person to preside over it.

After hearing Zhou Yuanjue’s briefing, all the senior human leaders in attendance fell silent, looking at the Data in their hands as they digested the information.

"Next, I need all of you to return to your respective factions and consult with your King Level masters. You must finalize the list of those prepared to travel with us to the True Realm and make contact with the High level Civilization. We need to tally the final head count."

Zhou Yuanjue continued, addressing the crowd.

"Mr. Zhou, we’d like to know, just how much risk will this journey entail?"

A representative spoke up.

"I don’t know. For now, everything we understand about the High level Civilization comes from the Data. Until we make actual contact, no one can say for sure what the situation will be."

"They are, after all, a civilization far stronger than our own. No one knows what the outcome of this expedition will be. It’s possible we’ll be completely annihilated, with no one making it back."

Zhou Yuanjue said, his expression calm.

His words plunged the room into an even deeper silence.

King Level masters were crucial, important figures for many factions. Committing them to a journey with an unknown outcome carried immense risk.

"Everyone, contact with the High level Civilization is now inevitable. We can’t just hide in our shells forever. And while this venture has its dangers, it is also a tremendous opportunity for human civilization. If we can establish a foothold in the True Realm, then our civilization will have truly moved beyond Earth."

"If we remain trapped here, reinventing the wheel, our civilization could be destroyed by some unknown cosmic threat sooner or later. Our only true hope lies in venturing out."

"This matter is indeed of grave importance, and I don’t need an answer from you right away. I have set the official departure for three months from now. You have ample time to consider your decision before then."

Zhou Yuanjue slowly rose to his feet.

"Regardless of what you decide, in three months, the Aircraft Carrier will depart on schedule."

「After the meeting.」

Zixiao Mountain Peak.

The Chief Commissioner’s courtyard was packed with people.

All of Donghua’s masters of King Level and above had gathered here.

This was a small, internal meeting of Donghua’s top Martial Artists.

"On the political side, I’ve already sought their opinion. They will respect your decision. After all, this is a rare opportunity for us as well. Everyone, you can speak your minds now."

The Chief Commissioner said to the assembled Martial Artists.

"Chief Commissioner, what is your decision?"

Zhang Zhizhen asked the Chief Commissioner.

"I’m old, and my Martial Dao is already vastly different from yours. This country, this land, this planet... these are my roots. My only remaining wish in this life is to protect this place. Therefore, I will be staying behind. Besides, someone has to remain on Earth. We can’t have everyone leave at once; the risk would be too great."

The Chief Commissioner said, shaking his head.

"Indeed. My roots are also in these mountains and rivers. This old man plans to stay on Earth as well."

"Perhaps I’ll want to go out and see the universe someday, if the opportunity arises, but not now."

"You all go on ahead and do what you must. We old folks will hold down the fort for you."

Tu Junshan said with a shake of his head.

"I won’t be participating either."

Chen Qingmu, Liehong Mountain, and Feng Xun also spoke up with smiles.

After all, people needed to be left behind on Earth. Moreover, they were advanced in years. From any perspective, it was right for them to stay and leave the opportunity to the younger generation.

"You old geezers! After all that, how could any of these kids dare to go? Fine, I’ll take the lead. Count me in! We’ll go to the True Realm together!"

Lei Yi, however, made a different decision from the other old-timers.

"How could I be left out of something like this? Old Zhang, Old Jiang, you’re both coming too, right?"

Ji Yunzhou said with a natural-looking smile.

"Of course."

Zhang Zhizhen and Jiang Jiushan replied with smiles.

In addition, the remaining younger King Level masters, such as Yang Guhong, Liu Lingjun, and Yu Yajie, also expressed their desire to participate.

In the end, most of Donghua’s older generation of Martial Artists chose to stay behind, yielding the opportunity to the young.

"Everyone, if the chance arises, you can still travel to the True Realm. We will secure a foothold for Earth Civilization there."

Zhou Yuanjue said with a nod.

The other young Martial Artists also nodded, a flicker of determination in their eyes.

They all knew that the older Martial Artists’ declaration didn’t mean they had no desire to go to the True Realm and see a wider world.

For a Martial Artist, age is no barrier. No matter how old they became, they could always maintain an active and curious Spirit.

Perhaps they yearned for that world more than anyone.

But the reality of the situation compelled them to shoulder the responsibility and give up the chance.

Was this not a form of greatness in itself?

It was precisely because of this Spirit that human civilization, and the path of the Martial Dao, could continue to advance so far.

The young Martial Artists committed this to heart.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard grew heavy.

"Haha, we’re not worried about that! We may just be a weak, Low level Civilization, but we believe that even in the True Realm, a fellow like you will be able to work miracles, just as you did on Earth."

It was the ever-lively Tu Junshan who was the first to break the silence with a hearty laugh.

"That’s right! You kids had better bring some glory to our Earth Civilization and to us Martial Artists! Show those beings from the High level Civilization the power and will that belong to us!"

Chen Qingmu laughed as well.

"I never would have thought... in the blink of an eye, our world, our civilization, our Martial Dao... we’ve already come this far."

Liehong Mountain mused, overcome with emotion.

"Shouldn’t there be wine at a time like this? Old Tang, your preparations are lacking!"

Feng Xun said to the Chief Commissioner with a booming laugh.

"How could I forget? We may not usually drink, but an occasion like this calls for something to mark it. A Mu, Xiaoyuan, bring out what I’ve prepared."

The Chief Commissioner said with a smile.

His two young disciples immediately emerged from the inner room, carrying sealed wine jars. They distributed wine bowls to every Martial Artist and filled them to the brim with fine wine.

In an instant, the fragrant aroma of wine filled the air.

"Everyone, drink up."

"A toast! May the name of Earth Civilization resound throughout the True Realm!!"

"Cheers!"

Heroic, cloud-piercing voices rang out across Zixiao Mountain Peak.

Having ended the chaos on Earth, the Martial Artists’ next target was the endless, vast cosmos of the True Realm!!
