19: The fifth realm forges a martial body, spatial rifts

In the 113th year of Dawn, the Federation discovered that everyone in the world had received subtle benefits from living in high-concentration Spiritual Qi for one year after the appearance of the Spiritual Energy Tide.

You felt that it must be that the life essence of the people of Blue Star had improved; now, the human physical limit of the people of Blue Star had increased from the original 1,200 kilograms to 1,500 kilograms, and even their lifespans had increased proportionally.

Previously, a Third Realm Martial Artist could live to be 200 years old, but now they could live to be over 230.

Fourth Realm Martial Artists could live for over 400 years, and those at the Peak of the Fourth Realm with a strength of 1.5 million kilograms could live for 500 years; indeed, the improvement in life essence had also raised the limits of Fourth Realm Martial Artists.

Furthermore, the Federation also discovered that newborns conceived and born after the Spiritual Energy Tide all possessed a deep affinity for Spiritual Qi and were born with powerful physiques.

As long as they grew to adulthood, they could all reach the current human physical limit of the people of Blue Star, which was a strength of 1,500 kilograms.

It could be said that, excluding true random Awakening, the average talent of this generation of newborns as they grew up would be stronger than that of the current people.

In the 114th year of Dawn, the Federation's footprint had already traversed the entire current Blue Star.

Through summarizing evolved creatures, the Federation divided them into two categories: one category consisted of those whose body size did not change much but had awakened Transcendent abilities like a Transcendent, possessed considerable intelligence, and were not very aggressive.

The Federation called this type of evolved beast a Spirit Beast.

The other type had bodies that became extremely massive, with significantly increased strength and defense; although they did not have overly violent consciousness, their intelligence was also not high, so the Federation called this type of evolved beast a Giant Beast.

As for insects, plants, and similar organisms that were beneficial to humans and not very aggressive, they were all called Spirit Insects and Spirit Plants.

As for animals and insects that harbored malice towards humans, they naturally became Dead Beasts and Dead Insects.

After all, with the current strength of humanity, they could suppress all dissent and steamroll everything.

The Federation was even afraid that those rare Spirit Beasts would go extinct, so they brought out protection laws from before the appearance of Spiritual Qi and created the Spirit Beast Protection Act.

In the 115th year of Dawn, the Federation discovered through research that the Transcendent abilities of Spirit Beasts could actually be inherited by their offspring, a capability that humans did not possess.

Although the Transcendent abilities inherited by these offspring were very weak, this was enough for Spirit Beasts to form various different Transcendent races.

Fortunately, humans had the Transcendent cultivation system of martial arts; otherwise, relying on the intelligence and abilities of Spirit Beasts, it would be questionable whether humans would still be the overlords of Blue Star by then.

In the 116th year of Dawn, the Federation artificially cultivated several types of Spirit Beasts that reproduced quickly.

This was because you and some researchers from the Federation had created a Spirit Pact Technique.

This technique allowed humans and Spirit Beasts to sign a pact.

Of course, this pact currently did not have very strong binding power; it only allowed humans and Spirit Beasts to have a telepathic connection and understand each other's words.

In this way, humans and Spirit Beasts could achieve a relationship similar to that of humans and pets before the appearance of Spiritual Qi, or perhaps even closer.

In this way, as the Spirit Pact Technique was continuously optimized, the binding power of the pact would become stronger and stronger, and wouldn't the strength of the Spirit Beasts then be the strength of humanity?

Currently, some people in the military and the Supernatural Management Bureau had already practiced the Spirit Pact Technique and signed pacts with Spirit Beasts cultivated by the Federation.

If you asked what Spirit Beast was easy to breed, it would certainly be rats.

Most of the Spirit Beasts cultivated by the Federation were rats; rats that had become Spirit Beasts were actually quite cute.

In the 117th year of Dawn, your strength reached 100,000 tons, and your speed reached 30 times the speed of sound.

At this time, the number of Fourth Realm Martial Artists had reached over one hundred thousand, and there were millions of Third Realm Martial Artists.

In the 118th year of Dawn, the Federation developed the first Spirit-particle Supercomputer, which gave the Federation's overall computing power a huge Breakthrough.

In the 119th year of Dawn, with the assistance of the people in the Research Institute and the help of immense computing power, you found a method for Martial Artists whose Physical Body strength had reached the limit of the Fourth Realm to make another Breakthrough.

This method was to first imprint one's own Martial Dao will onto the cells of the entire body, and then comprehend a certain element to a very deep level.

This way, one could use the energy of this element to refine the cells of the entire body through the Martial Dao will, making the Physical Body's affinity for this element reach its Peak.

At this point, all the cells in this person's body could be considered Transcendent cells, and this person would also become a true Transcendent being, capable of semi-energy transformation.

You called this method the Martial Body Condensation Technique.

Of course, this was just a hypothesis; in reality, you still needed to find someone to practice it to test it out, and that person was, of course, our model worker, Lan Tian.

In the first month, Lan Tian successfully used the Spirit-particle Supercomputer to imprint his own Martial Dao will onto the cells of his entire body.

In the second month, Lan Tian already had a deep comprehension of the lightning element, so he smoothly refined all the cells in his body into Transcendent cells.

At the moment the refinement was completed, Lan Tian's entire body flashed with purple lightning, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi surged towards him violently; it was not until three days later that the commotion around him slowly calmed down.

Seeing this situation, everyone was very excited; without a doubt, the Martial Body Condensation Technique was a success!

Finally, they proceeded to test Lan Tian's condition after the Breakthrough.

First was the strength test; after the Breakthrough, his original strength of 1.5 million kilograms had now reached 3 million kilograms, doubling it.

Furthermore, because his body had become a Transcendent Body, his original Qi and blood had transformed into another type of Transcendent energy, which you named Spirit Power.

In the tests, although Spirit Power was not as destructive or corrosive as Qi and blood, the power unleashed when using the same amount of Spiritual Qi to perform martial arts was much stronger than with Qi and blood.

Furthermore, with the support of Spirit Power, the flight speed of the semi-energy-transformed Transcendent Body could reach 13 times the speed of sound, which truly increased his flight speed by a large margin.

What you found strange was that the energy level of Spirit Power was not much higher than that of Qi and blood, but Lan Tian's Physical Body was indeed able to continue improving, and the speed was not slow either.

You felt that it might be because his body had already become a Transcendent Body, so the limit of his Physical Body had been greatly expanded.

After all, if someone who had not Cultivated possessed this kind of body, their human physical limit would certainly be more than 1,500 kilograms.

Regardless, it was a fact that Lan Tian had broken through, and it was also a fact that his strength had increased; after discussion, you named the Realm that Lan Tian was currently in as the Fifth Realm of Martial Dao—Forging the Martial Body.

This Realm could forge a Transcendent Body, with a lifespan reaching up to a thousand years, and the ability to manipulate Spiritual Qi within a radius of a hundred miles.

In the 120th year of Dawn, those Martial Artists who had reached the limit of the Fourth Realm began to break through to the Fifth Realm one by one.

In the 121st year of Dawn, people suddenly discovered that a rift as long as a thousand meters had appeared on an uninhabited island in the ocean.

This was because testing revealed that this rift was exuding a thick force of space.

You thought of the invasions from another world in various Spiritual Qi Recovery novels, and you felt that there might be another world behind this rift.

Sure enough, after various tests, it was discovered that it was indeed possible that there was another space on the other side of the rift.

Following your advice, the Federation mobilized a full 10 super satellites to keep a close watch on this place.

As for why you did not surround this rift, it was because you did not know the strength of the other side.

Moreover, what if the spatial rift opened and the other side launched a destructive weapon over? Wouldn't you lose manpower for nothing?

Now you held the initiative, and various strategic weapons of the Federation were already aimed at this spatial rift.

In March of the 122nd year of Dawn, the spatial rift began to fluctuate violently, and the people responsible for monitoring it immediately sounded the alarm.

All the high-level officials of the Federation, including you, gathered their gaze on that uninhabited island via satellite.
