Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

179. Chapter 179 Travel Around The World And Break Through With Strength!

Chapter 179 Traveling through the countries, breaking through with strength!

"At this point, my uncle and younger brother should have already received their national hero medals, right?"

"I really didn't expect it. The four pillar officials and General Wu actually gave them such face. Not only did they award two national hero medals, but they also promoted my uncle and younger brother to the rank of junior consultant."

"Although they don't have real power and hold idle positions, it's still considered a formal appointment. They can now sit on equal footing with the local military consultants!"

"In the future, when the federal government is established, the status and position of junior consultants in the military will rise. My uncle and younger brother will have a more stable life."

Leaning against the back of the old turtle, Liu Zimo muttered to himself.

This trip to the capital was even more relaxed and enjoyable than he had imagined.

Not only did they receive an audience with the four pillar officials as they had hoped, but they also obtained a national hero medal for his uncle directly because of the spiritual energy phone they brought.

Together with the one that was originally going to be awarded to his younger brother, Liu Zimo's family now had three national heroes, which was rare in history!

In addition...

It is said that Liu Zimo has plans to travel through the countries next, and the four pillar officials have directly given him the identity of an envoy, making it convenient for him to handle some advantageous matters outside of Da Xia.

At the same time, they also asked Liu Zimo to check if there are any surviving personnel in the embassies of Da Xia in other countries.

When the calamity broke out, it was too sudden, and all the staff stationed in the embassies of other countries were unable to withdraw, and their fate is unknown.

The country has always been concerned about their safety. If there are still survivors among them, the pillar officials specifically asked Liu Zimo to teach them some self-defense techniques so that these embassy staff can live better outside.

Naturally, Liu Zimo readily agreed to this.

After all, it's just a side task.

Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land, it's natural to lend a helping hand.

And he also knows very well that whether the World Federation government, led by Da Xia, can successfully form an alliance, these scattered embassy staff and the nationals of Da Xia descent scattered around the world will definitely be a significant force.

"Master, have you felt that the aura of blood and evil in the air seems to be denser than before?"

The flying old turtle suddenly spoke.

"I seem to have sensed the hidden teleportation passage again. It has been continuously absorbing this aura of blood and evil to strengthen itself."

"At this rate, it may not take a year for it to manifest again and open the fourth teleportation!"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly at the words.

He naturally sensed the phenomenon mentioned by the old turtle.

"In order to refine the 'Satiety Pill,' the entire Da Xia is slaughtering low-level monsters on a large scale. It's inevitable that this kind of intense evil aura will arise in the short term!"

"But there's no other way!"

"After all, if the human race wants to survive and continue its existence, they can only constantly hunt those monsters to alleviate the food crisis in the population!"

Killing is necessary!

Without enough food support, a large number of lives in the human race will also perish in endless famine.

Between the death of humans and the death of monsters, even if Liu Zimo closes his eyes, he knows which one to choose.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have advocated handing over the improved recipe for the 'Satiety Pill' to the country.

Since there is no way to stop the invasion of the Illusionary Demon Realm and change the fate of repeated calamities,

then there's no need to be reserved. Naturally, they should kill when they need to kill and exterminate when they need to exterminate!

Only by fighting can they grow in the apocalypse!

"Master, we have arrived at Rong City!"

The old turtle suddenly stopped and buzzed to report to Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo nodded slightly, indicating for the old turtle to suspend in the air and wait quietly. Then, with a flash, he appeared in the sky above the Rong City.

He took out the "King's Spirit Crystal" and skillfully stimulated it to lure.

In just an instant, thirteen devouring spirit larvae and two second-stage devouring spirit insects flew over.

Swish!

Liu Zimo collected all the devouring spirit insects into his sea of consciousness space and instantly suppressed and annihilated them with his martial intent.

Killing the insects and collecting the crystals, the speed was incredibly fast.

The whole process took less than three seconds!

Liu Zimo put the fifteen spirit crystals into the "Eastern Pearl" and returned to the back of the old turtle, whispering, "Let's go, make a stop."

"Alright! Master, please sit tight. The next stop is West Hong City, we're departing!"

The old turtle quickly positioned itself and flew like lightning, becoming more and more like a dedicated driver with built-in navigation.

Just like that.

In less than two hours, Liu Zimo had visited dozens of southern cities and survivor bases that he hadn't finished last time.

He completely wiped out more than seven hundred devouring spirit larvae and second-stage devouring spirit insects, turning them into pure nutrients to expand his sea of consciousness space and enhance his spiritual cultivation.

At this point, his spiritual power cultivation in the Lingyuan Realm was completely perfected. However, for some reason, he couldn't smoothly break through to the Lingyu Realm.

"A bottleneck in the Lingyu Realm?"

"Isn't this a normal thing?"

Hearing the master's question, the old turtle, Longevity, was a little confused and asked Liu Zimo, "Master, breaking through and advancing in spiritual cultivation is already as difficult as reaching the heavens, not to mention breaking through to the Lingyu Realm!"

"Do you know how much time that old Daoist spent to break through from the peak of the Lingyuan Realm to the Lingyu Realm?"

"Three hundred years!"

"He spent a full three hundred years polishing and comprehending his realm at the peak of the Lingyuan Realm before barely breaking through."

"Even at that time, it caused a great sensation and was hailed as the shortest breakthrough in ten thousand years."

As he spoke, the old turtle glanced lightly at his new master.

The meaning was self-evident.

Even a peerless genius like that old Daoist needed to spend three hundred years to polish his realm and break through to the Lingyu Realm.

What's the rush for a twenty-one-year-old youngster like you?

Do you really think that breaking through to the Lingyu Realm is as easy as mastering martial arts, as long as you have sufficient internal energy and enough strength?

You're thinking too beautifully!

If breaking through to the Lingyu Realm was so easy, it wouldn't have become a stumbling block for all martial artists in the Transcendent Realm to break through to the Saint Realm!

Three hundred years?

Liu Zimo shook his head speechlessly.

If he really had to wait for three hundred years, the Earth would have long been enslaved by the offspring of the Illusionary Beasts, and humanity might have already been wiped out and exterminated!

Seeing that he couldn't get the answer he wanted from the old turtle, Liu Zimo turned his attention to Yao Lingling in his sea of consciousness.

This little bug had now evolved to the King's Realm, and its inherited memories had awakened again, knowing much more than before.

Soon, with Liu Zimo's deliberate guidance and stimulation, Yao Lingling's thoughts gradually began to stir:

"A shortcut to breaking through the Spirit Realm?"

"Heh, what foolish humans, always trying to take shortcuts in cultivation!"

"If this bug knew about such a shortcut, how could it have ended up in such a miserable state?"

"In the realm of spiritual cultivation, each level is like reaching a new heaven. After reaching the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, the difficulty of breaking through increases a hundredfold!"

"Even in the Illusory Demon Realm, the number of humans or demonic beasts who can successfully break through and advance to the Spirit Realm every hundred years is extremely rare!"

"In this low-level world called Earth, the concentration of spiritual energy is not even one percent of the Illusory Demon Realm. It is incredibly difficult to break through to the Spirit Realm here!"

"Unless... he can break through with sheer force, with an endless spiritual cultivation, an unparalleled strength of soul, and a vast sea of consciousness spanning over a million square kilometers, forcefully surpassing the minimum threshold of the Spirit Realm!"

"But that's simply impossible!"

"Although there are records of this in the bug's inherited memories, it also states that it's just a theoretical conjecture, and no one has ever actually achieved it!"

"Furthermore, once the realm of spiritual cultivation reaches the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, it becomes difficult to continuously improve one's spiritual cultivation and strength of soul through medicine or self-cultivation!"

"Every spiritual cultivator at this level can only break through through accumulation and sudden enlightenment!"

"Liu Zimo, this freak, indeed has an astonishing sea of consciousness, and his spiritual power and strength of soul far surpass those of the same level."

"But he is still far from being able to break through with sheer force!"

"So, it's better to just go to sleep and dream about everything!"

"..."

Liu Zimo's spirits lifted. He didn't expect to gain unexpected insights from Yao Lingling!

Breaking through with sheer force may be an almost impossible task for others.

But for Liu Zimo, isn't it as simple as having hands?

After all, the rapid progress of his cultivation relies on his "good brothers," "good sisters," "good leeks," and the scattered devouring spirit insects around the world.

Just like now.

Even though his spiritual cultivation has already reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, he can still continuously gain spiritual cultivation enhancements from his "good brothers" and "good sisters."

Moreover, every time he hunts and kills a devouring spirit larva, his sea of consciousness expands by one to two hundred meters, and even more for second-order devouring spirit insects.

Expanding the sea of consciousness to one million square kilometers doesn't seem as difficult as imagined.

Furthermore, when he kills a devouring spirit insect, their spiritual bodies transform into pure spiritual essence that merges into his sea of consciousness, further enhancing his spiritual power and strength of soul.

Under these circumstances, breaking through with sheer force is undoubtedly the best breakthrough plan tailored for him!

"So, the hunting of devouring spirit insects must not stop for a moment!"

Thinking this, Liu Zimo lightly tapped the turtle's back and gave a direct order:

"Let's go, Old Turtle, take a stroll overseas!"

"Yes, master!"

The turtle happily responded.

Before coming out, Liu Zimo had already transferred the world map into its sea of consciousness.

There was no need for Liu Zimo to guide it anymore. Just by stating a place name, the turtle could instantly plan the best flight route.

Countries such as Shanxi, Yuechuan, Xiaowu, Gudong, Sun'e, and others that had formed an alliance with Daxia and recognized Daxia's leading position in the federation became Liu Zimo's first targets to visit and harvest.

It took less than a day.

Liu Zimo traveled through more than a dozen neighboring countries in the vicinity.

Every time he passed through, he would quickly activate the "King's Spirit Crystal" to attract and kill insects, and swiftly collect the crystals. His actions were fast and agile, flowing like water.

He could basically resolve everything in two to three seconds. The strong guards in the cities and towns didn't even notice, and Liu Zimo had already ridden the spirit turtle to the next destination.

Because they were all allied neighboring countries.

Therefore, the people and ethnic minorities living in these areas had received good care and protection, so Liu Zimo didn't need to deliberately interact with them.

Therefore, the progress of traveling through these dozen or so countries went exceptionally smoothly, without any setbacks or troubles.

One day later.

After Liu Zimo had thoroughly sorted and harvested hundreds of cities in Sun E, he rode the old turtle and flew directly across the blue sea, heading towards another country on the other side.

The territory and population there were not inferior to Da Xia and Sun E.

After a long flight of more than an hour.

One person and one turtle successfully crossed the sea and arrived at Jin Ji, the largest country in terms of land area and one of the top three in technological strength before the catastrophe.

What came into view were monsters everywhere, with devastation as far as the eye could see.

There were abandoned cars, yachts, and scattered airplane wreckage everywhere.

It truly reflected the saying from the previous century.

When the calamity of monsters struck, the more a country or city relied on modern technology, the more severe the trauma and destruction it suffered.

What was even more important was that countries like Jin Ji, which lacked a long history, basically had no ancient city walls or moats left behind.

So when the calamity of monsters struck, it was difficult for them to build a safe and reliable defensive line in the first place.

Therefore, the number of human deaths in this place during the calamity of monsters was two to three times higher than in ancient countries like Da Xia.

The spirit turtle carried Liu Zimo as they flew rapidly over this land, and soon arrived at a small coastal city that had already established a basic defense line.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Liu Zimo's expression suddenly changed.

Swish!

Without any explanation, his figure disappeared directly from the back of the giant turtle.

The next second, Liu Zimo appeared in front of a large iron pot that was boiling vigorously.

Beside the iron pot, two Jin Ji men were holding a bound Da Xia woman, intending to throw her into the boiling pot to cook her alive!

Around them, there was also a group of tall Jin Ji men and women.

Everyone was holding a shiny knife, fork, and plate, constantly salivating, eager to feast on the woman in front of them.

"Wu wu wu~!"

The woman's mouth was gagged with a cloth, tears in her eyes, shaking her head in fear.

Seeing Liu Zimo suddenly appear before her eyes, a gleam of hope appeared in the woman's eyes, and she struggled even harder.

"Another Da Xia person has come. It seems that we will all be able to eat our fill tonight!"

"Haha, Luo Wen, Xia Er, what are you two still standing there for? Tie up this Da Xia kid and throw him into the pot with this woman!"

"Don't worry, Mayor, with us here, this Da Xia brat won't be able to escape!"

As they spoke, the two tall Jin Ji men, each standing at a height of two meters three, separated from the crowd, with fierce expressions on their faces, walked straight towards Liu Zimo.
