A Hundred Years in the Mortal World
"Are you leaving again this time?"
On a large bed, Su Mingyue nestled breathlessly in Lin Zhen's arms. She both loved and hated her husband's strength; even she and Sister An Ning together couldn't keep up with Lin Zhen's antics.
Gently stroking his wife's smooth, jade-like back, Lin Zhen said, "I won't leave for now, at least not until you've all grown up."
Now that this incident is over, Lin Zhen Lin Zhen has learned her lesson and plans to stay at home for an extended period of time.
It's rare to buy slaves at the Star System Stage from outside; the best approach is to strengthen your family members.
Of course, this is a long process, but Lin Zhen doesn't really lack time right now.
"How is my husband's sister, Qingluan, doing?"
Su Mingyue and the others all knew about Feng Qingluan's situation. They originally thought that Lin Zhen would bring back a sister when she returned, but unexpectedly, Lin Zhen came back alone.
"She went to the Origin Realm."
"Are you going to the Origin Realm too?"
"We won't go for now, but we will later. We'll get through this eventually; we can't stay here forever."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."
********
Lin Zhen will be staying at home for an extended period this time, and he will not leave until his family's safety is guaranteed.
And now, the only one who can be considered Lin Zhen's enemy is Tian Fang King.
The Dimensional Universe is now filled with articles about Sagittarius, the Pillars of Creation, and the Heavenly Gate.
In one of the videos, Lin Zhen saw that the Tian Fang King had also gone to the Heavenly Gate.
Sagittarius is not far from Lin Zhen's Solar System; both are within the territory of the Tianhe Empire. If the Tian Fang King wanted to take revenge, he could probably arrive within a day. Therefore, Lin Zhen's location is not very safe.
But Lin Zhen didn't want to run away. Putting aside the fact that the Tian Fang King wouldn't leave the Heavenly Gate easily, even if he did leave, where could he go?
The only solution is to improve our strength.
However, Lin Zhen didn't just wait foolishly; he contacted someone.
This person is Long Jue Tian, the emperor of the Tianhe Empire. Long Jue Tian has now advanced to the Star Region Stage and is currently cultivating at Heavenly Gate, hoping to one day go to the Origin Realm.
His location was not far from Tian Fang King's, and Lin Zhen asked him to keep an eye on Tian Fang King's movements. Once Tian Fang King left, Lin Zhen would immediately make preparations.
Spending time with family is also a happy and joyful experience, as Lin Zhen is able to witness her family's growth firsthand.
Under Lin Zhen's guidance, the family members' cultivation levels improved by leaps and bounds, while Lin Zhen's progress began to slow down.
In his second year on Earth, Lin Zhen reached the Black Hole Peak realm.
Advancing to the Black Hole Peak brought Lin Zhen an additional 2,000 Star Power. After the Star Power Transfer, his Star Power had reached 29,000, approaching the standard of a genius in the Origin Realm.
However, Lin Zhen discovered that he could hardly make any further progress.
Because the Mutated Black Hole inside his Dantian gave Lin Zhen a sense of danger.
For martial artists, advancing from the Black Hole Peak to the Star System realm is the most crucial stage. Passing this stage means the path to the Great Dao is within reach; failing it means annihilation.
Lin Zhen's soul once traversed Black Hole, and his physical body was also Black Hole Beast, which forged an inextricable bond between him and Black Hole.
Now that he was at the Black Hole Peak, the Mutated Black Hole always gave Lin Zhen a dark and deep feeling that it could devour everything.
It seems to be getting a little out of control!
Lin Zhen dared not attempt the process of turning Black Hole into White Hole, as his current Star Power was definitely insufficient.
"My Star Power value, if I don't count the clones, is actually only 16,000. This level of Star Power is not enough. I can sense that when this Black Hole changes, it would take at least 100,000 Star Power to withstand it."
"100,000 Star Power! My main body would probably need 60,000 Star Power to achieve that. This process will be quite lengthy."
Lin Zhen knew that even without the Black Hole, he would still need 100,000 Star Power, otherwise he would not be able to fight against a Domain King-level expert.
"The only thing I can do now is to intensify Dark Star's cultivation and bring it directly to the Cenozoic Era. Once Dark Star Dark Star reaches the peak of the Cenozoic Era, I estimate that I will be able to light up my first star, Ying Huo."
After making his decision, Lin Zhen began the long process of cultivating Dark Star.
Cultivating Dark Star is not so simple. Lin Zhen still has a lot of Planet Grass and Wood Heart, but the advancement of Dark Star becomes more and more difficult as it progresses. It took Lin Zhen a full five years to advance Dark Star Power from the peak of the Mesozoic Era to the early stage of the Cenozoic Era!
In the five years since, Lin Zhen's family has undergone tremendous changes.
Firstly, Lin Zhen's clones have been constantly creating and selling celestial artifacts, which is Lin Zhen's main source of income.
In five years, Lin Zhen's bank account had accumulated 200 billion Cosmic Crystal, and he had become a nine-star supreme customer of the Fire Qilin branch of the Universe First Bank.
With wealth as a backing, the Lin Zhen family's moral character has greatly improved.
The first to advance to the Star System Stage was Lin Zhen's wife, Su Mingyue.
The former God Sect Saintess, whose talent was almost on par with Lin Zhen, finally broke through in the summer of Su Mingyue third year and successfully advanced to the Star System Stage.
Although five thousand Star Power may not seem like much after advancing, it is actually a lot. You should know that even Star System Level Nine like Xuan Jiang only had a little over ten thousand Star Power.
Just three days after Su Mingyue's advancement, An Ning also successfully advanced to the Star System level, reaching the same level of 5,000 Star Power.
After that, several beauties from Lin Zhen's family, including the Ling'er and Anqi Er sisters, all made breakthroughs and became galaxy-level experts.
Even Lin Zhen's parents have advanced to the Black Hole Stage, but it will be very difficult for them to successfully pass through the Black Hole Stage. Lin Zhen still needs to find a way to help them get through this tribulation so that she can continue to accompany them on their journey.
As for Lin Zhen's children, Lin Ping Lin An have already cultivated to the Meteor Stage, and Lin Meier has reached the peak of the Star Core. After the last incident, the children have all grown up and put cultivation first.
All of his family members had broken through, but Lin Zhen was still at the peak of the Black Hole Stage, which made his wives a little worried, fearing that Lin Zhen would experience a psychological letdown.
But Lin Zhen just smiled and told them that he was deliberately suppressing his strength, and that he would naturally break through when he was able to.
This period may be long; let them cultivate on their own.
It was indeed a very long time.
Unbeknownst to many, the Heavenly Gate has been open for a hundred years!
**********
Sagittarius, located about 25,000 light-years from the Solar System, is home to the Burgundy Nebula, which was Anno Domini Era considered one of the ten wonders of the universe.
The Burgundy Nebula refers to the massive nebula in the Sagittarius, spanning thousands of light-years in width, which appears entirely to be red gas to astronomical telescopes.
Investigations have shown that this gas cloud contains a large amount of alcohol, which causes it to appear this color due to light refraction and other phenomena.
However, at that time, technology was underdeveloped, and humans could only land on the moon. Their understanding of celestial bodies outside the Solar System was extremely limited. All conclusions were drawn through speculation and other means, which inevitably led to significant errors.
It wasn't until this era that the formation of the Burgundy Nebula became known to people on Earth.
There is alcohol there, that's true, but the real reason the Burgundy Nebula was formed was because of the sunlight shining down from the Heavenly Gate.
That is the Light of the Origin Realm!
The Light of the Origin Realm shone upon the nebula, turning it a wine-red hue.
The so-called Pillars of Creation is the gate pillar of the Origin Realm Heavenly Gate.
Today, a massive number of martial artists have gathered beneath the Pillars of Creation in front of the Heavenly Gate.
Thirty-six thousand martial artists from advanced civilizations across the universe have gathered here; their numbers are beyond description.
That's countless!
Some people have made a rough estimate that at its Gao Feng, Heavenly Gate had more than nine trillion martial artists!
The lowest is the Black Hole Stage, and the highest is King Kai.
A dense army of martial artists almost filled the entire Burgundy Nebula region.
Below the Heavenly Gate, the crowd was as dense as a sardine can. Those who could squeeze to the front were top experts, such as those at the Black Hole Stage or Star System Stage. They could only be numbered at the back, and only those with connections could be brought to the front to try to break through the Heavenly Gate.
It's not easy to measure how high the Heavenly Gate is, but the height of the Pillars of Creation can be seen through astronomical telescopes in the Solar System, so you can imagine how enormous it must be.
Trying to break through the Heavenly Gate sounds simple: just jump up from Heavenly Gate and you've made it over.
However, this is not flying, but a martial artist charging forward with a single breath of Star Power without taking a breath. Theoretically speaking, if you have an unlimited amount of Star Power, you will definitely be able to cross the Heavenly Gate.
Above the Heavenly Gate, there is endless pressure, pressure from the Origin Realm. Only by withstanding that pressure and rushing up can one succeed.
The pressure faced by Realm Kings is the greatest, followed by Domain Kings, then Star System Stage Kings, and the pressure faced by Black Hole Stage is the least.
However, this is relative. The Heavenly Gate has been open for a hundred years, and most of those who have been able to pass through are still Realm Kings or World King Domain. Very few people in the Star System Stage have been able to pass through, and as for those in the Black Hole Stage, not a single one has ever passed through the Heavenly Gate.
Before the enormous Heavenly Gate, comparable in size to the Asian Continent, people were peacefully cultivating themselves.
If you can't pass this time, then focus on your training so that you can reach a higher level next time. That will also be a source of motivation for your training.
"Look! Another person is charging into the Heavenly Gate! Holy crap, that's fast!"
Everyone looked up and saw a person rapidly ascending high in the sky, as fast as lightning. It seemed that he was about to succeed!
Three minutes later, the clouds and mist in the clear sky parted, and the Heavenly Gate opened!
It's done!
Those who successfully stormed the Heavenly Gate glanced back as they passed through Heavenly Gate and transmitted their voices to the Tian Fang King, who was sitting far away.
"Tian Fang, I succeeded! You must avenge my son Ye Hua. Otherwise, I won't have peace of mind in the Origin Realm. If you don't help me, I won't let you off even if you go to the Origin Realm!"
Tian Fang dared not delay and hurriedly nodded. Above the Heavenly Gate, the Mechanical Realm King turned around and entered the Origin Realm that everyone yearned for.
Today is the second chapter, and I'd also like to recommend two books by good friends.
One is "Machine Breaking the Xinghe" by Li Ge, a very good and exciting mecha novel that science fiction fans should not miss.
One of them is "I Can Eat Secret Manuals" by Mo Di. As the title suggests, the protagonist can practice martial arts by eating secret manuals. Isn't that awesome?
