Begin!

Warriors like Jia Yi, Liu He, Zhu Xi, Tuoba Tao, Deng Feng, and Dong Nanbiao had already reached the Warlord Level.

Their temperament, perseverance, and talent were all exceptional.

Teng Qingshan had seen these people in the visions of the future that came from Little Cauldron.

As long as they survived, they were destined to achieve great things.

So whenever he met them, he would talk with them briefly, offer them some guidance, and leave them Monster materials to forge weapons and armor.

With Teng Qingshan now at the Third-Stage Domain, guiding them, when they were only Warlord Level, was naturally easy.

He could also help them see the paths best suited to them.

These exceptionally talented warriors.

Every one of them had great potential.

They would also be the main force in resisting the Monsters in the future.

Teng Qingshan stood atop a mountain peak.

After finishing his Genetic Origin Energy cultivation for the day, he recalled the day's battles while using Telekinesis to control the Diamond Ape's fangs, grinding down its arm bone to form a spear shaft.

He had to admit.

The Diamond Ape's fangs were incredibly useful.

Under the control of his Telekinesis, which had reached the War God Level limit, even the arm bone's extraordinary hardness gradually gave way to the grinding.

Before long.

A spear shaft more than two meters long had taken shape. At the tip, Teng Qingshan used a fang to carve a series of threads.

Then he ground another fang into a spearhead, carving threads into its interior as well.

He then used Telekinesis to fit the spearhead onto the shaft.

The new Samsara Spear was complete.

Judging by its hardness alone, this Samsara Spear could almost rival the one Teng Qingshan had used in his previous life.

"The ores and alloys on Earth are nowhere near as hard as those on the Nine Provinces Continent, but Monster materials that have mutated can reach this level of hardness. It's truly amazing."

Looking at the Samsara Spear reflecting a faint golden light beneath the moon, Teng Qingshan couldn't help but marvel.

In his previous life, his Samsara Spear had been made from the finest ores on the Nine Provinces Continent and nurtured by World Power for hundreds of years.

Its hardness had reached the limit permitted by the Nine Provinces Continent.

It was the strongest weapon wielded by a Supreme Powerhouse.

But even that couldn't compare with a body nourished by the Primordial Chaos Force.

Combined with his martial arts realm, Teng Qingshan could crush a Supreme Powerhouse's weapon with ease.

This showed that even the finest weapons on the Nine Provinces Continent couldn't match the physical strength of a Supreme Powerhouse.

In the Nine Provinces World, before reaching the Supreme Powerhouse realm, one's physical strength could reach at most 800,000 jin.

Only after breaking through to become a Supreme Powerhouse could one's physical strength increase dramatically.

Based on Teng Qingshan's own estimates, even after becoming a Supreme Powerhouse, his physical strength would reach only a few million jin at most.

But here, physical strength could increase almost without limit!

He hadn't even reached Planetary Level, yet his physical strength had already reached 400,000 kilograms!

That was the limit for anyone below the Supreme Powerhouse realm in his previous life.

But Teng Qingshan could clearly feel that he could keep growing stronger!

And as his realm improved, the Samsara Guidance Technique was constantly being optimized. He hunted Monsters in great numbers, while Little Cauldron absorbed the surrounding soul energy on its own.

Now, Teng Qingshan's efficiency in cultivating Genetic Origin Energy had increased as well.

Almost every session of cultivation boosted his punching force by a thousand kilograms!

And the further he progressed, the greater the increase seemed to become.

Sensing the astonishing changes in Little Cauldron and himself, Teng Qingshan grew more confident in his path to becoming stronger.

The situation in China and around the world was grim.

But if China could be given a little time, and Teng Qingshan a little time, surviving this Monster Cataclysm wouldn't be difficult.

Beep beep beep!!!

The Communication Watch on his wrist suddenly sounded another urgent distress signal.

Teng Qingshan glanced at it.

Standing on his new Samsara Spear, he sped toward the location from which the signal had come.

He had carefully chosen this cultivation spot so he could reach every area as quickly as possible.

In less than a minute, Teng Qingshan crossed nearly a hundred kilometers and slaughtered the small Beast Tide attacking a relocation center.

Then another string of distress signals sounded.

Teng Qingshan tirelessly raced from one place to another.

With his support arriving at astonishing speed, the evacuation across Jiangnan Base City proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Although large numbers of casualties were still unavoidable, this was undoubtedly the best possible outcome.

Under the strain of constant patrols, time felt both long and fleeting.

A month passed. The relocations from several provinces around the former Yangzhou City were largely complete, and the tens of millions of survivors had all been safely transferred to newly built Base Cities.

However, with time so short, there was still plenty of work to do. In many places, the newcomers had to help build their new homes.

After nearly a month without proper rest, Teng Qingshan could finally take a break.

Although Teng Qingshan's soul power had grown close to the limit of the Apprentice Level, allowing him to go more than a month without sleep, he had spent so long making long-distance dashes and slaughtering over ten million Monsters. Each time he controlled his Telekinetic Weapons, he poured his whole being and Domain Energy into them, carefully sensing and studying their every movement.

He couldn't avoid falling into mental exhaustion.

After helping the last group of people relocate safely, Teng Qingshan went to the third floor of the Xingyi Sect headquarters and slept for a full day and night.

When he woke, Teng Qingshan was once again in peak condition.

He had also received some news that thrilled him.

"Hong finally broke through to the War God Level, and made a major breakthrough in his martial arts realm, too!"

During this time, while Teng Qingshan had been patrolling and helping people from the surrounding provinces relocate, Hong hadn't been idle either.

Whether it was the Monsters inside the Base Cities or the Beast Tides daring to attack them, Hong had led the forces that drove them all back.

The intense fighting had helped Hong improve rapidly.

He had even used the Samsara Guidance Technique as a template and optimized it to create the Guidance Technique best suited to him.

As a result, Hong's daily gains in Genetic Origin Energy had far surpassed what they'd been before.

That was how he had so quickly reached the physical fitness required for the War God Level. And in martial arts, too,

Hong had discovered the path that suited him best.

Over the past few days, his spear and fist techniques had been transforming rapidly, revealing astonishing insight.

Seeing his disciple's progress, Teng Qingshan was very pleased.

Every expert followed a different path.

What suited him didn't necessarily suit anyone else.

By White Horse Lake, Teng Qingshan watched Hong finish the final move of his spear technique.

A trace of darkness clung to the technique's Conception, and the light around them seemed to stir faintly.

Teng Qingshan nodded in approval. "Good. You've found your own path. If you keep following it, you're sure to achieve great things."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. My accomplishments are still insignificant." Hong put away his spear and spoke modestly.

He had only just entered the Conception stage and could vaguely sense the direction of a Domain. He was still far from truly mastering a Domain like Teng Qingshan, let alone reaching the Third-Stage Domain.

Still, to have entered the Conception stage so quickly and fully consolidated his progress showed that Hong possessed extraordinary talent and insight.

"The time is right. It's time to begin the Great Purge Plan. Once we've resolved the Monster Crisis, we can explore how to break through to Planetary Level."

Teng Qingshan looked into the distance and thought to himself.
