Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 618: Preparing to Break Through to Level 7
Three days, Xu Yi spent another whole three days holed up in the tent.
During these three days, Xu Yi did not eat anything.
Lu Ke had been cultivating beside Xu Yi during these three days and was very aware that Xu Yi’s condition was good. Right now, he didn’t need food; what he needed was cultivation.
Obviously, Xu Yi was at a very critical stage, likely close to a breakthrough.
If disturbed at this point, it could have very negative effects on him.
So, as long as Xu Yi’s life and health were not in danger, Lu Ke wouldn’t disturb him.
Yesterday, Qin Fan and the others came, but Lu Ke had them camp one kilometer away, fearing the aroma of the snails would affect Xu Yi.
No one else came to disturb Xu Yi.
Lu Ke had just eaten lunch and came back to meditate for a while, when she heard Bai Yu call softly.
She immediately walked out of the tent.
Bai Yu must have discovered something to call her.
Thus, she leapt onto Bai Yu’s back and flew into the sky.
In no time, Bai Yu stopped at a location.
It turned out a level 5 peak Fierce Beast had broken through.
Without a second thought, Lu Ke jumped directly from the air and engaged the level 6 Fierce Beast in battle!
............
So, is Xu Yi really about to break through?
This is still uncertain for Xu Yi, but he had already mastered the first-level cultivation technique of the Supreme Profound Scripture.
The first part of the Supreme Profound Scripture consists of three levels of cultivation techniques.
Each progressive level becomes increasingly formidable.
After fully mastering the Supreme Profound Scripture, Xu Yi opened his eyes.
He then discovered a layer of white mist around him.
"Is this... level 7 Spiritual Energy?" Xu Yi clearly felt that the Spiritual Energy around him was abnormally dense, suspecting it could only appear in a level 7 Fierce Beast Territory.
But how did it appear?
After all, Xu Yi hadn’t activated his Spiritual Vision before, so he naturally couldn’t see everything around.
So, should he attempt to advance to level 7 here?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yi closed his eyes and activated his Spiritual Vision.
The mist gradually dissipated.
Then, Xu Yi began practicing the first level of the Supreme Profound Scripture.
Soon, white mist appeared around Xu Yi.
As he suspected, the appearance of the level 7 Spiritual Energy was due to his cultivation of the Supreme Profound Heart Scripture.
He realized that it was because the Spiritual Energy reached a certain concentration, pressing against each other within a certain range, resulting in white mist. Realizing this, Xu Yi felt much more at ease.
Though he didn’t know how many days had passed, Xu Yi knew he had been cultivating here for quite some time.
Lu Ke wasn’t in the tent; she was outside handling the corpse of a level 6 Fierce Beast.
Today, another level 5 peak Fierce Beast nearby had evolved.
But it hadn’t been half an hour into the breakthrough before Lu Ke slaughtered it and brought it back.
Upon hearing the commotion, Lu Ke immediately turned her head. She saw Xu Yi walking towards her.
She really wanted to rush over and hug Xu Yi but held back.
After all, doing so would be a bit too much and might scare Xu Yi.
So, she restrained herself.
"So hungry. How many days have I been cultivating?" Xu Yi felt like if he didn’t control himself, he might have just rushed over and started gnawing on raw meat.
After asking, Xu Yi took out a piece of dried meat and began to chew.
"Today is the 15th day," Lu Ke replied.
Then, Lu Ke cut a piece of meat, took out a pan, and prepared to fry the meat for Xu Yi.
It’s been half a month since Xu Yi last ate something. If he weren’t a Divine Master, he might have starved to death by now, right?
During cultivation, their bodies enter a special state, allowing them to gain energy by absorbing Spiritual Energy. But once cultivation ends, they exit that special state, and the hunger overwhelms them instantly.
If they couldn’t control themselves, they might actually hurt themselves by overeating.
However, it’s impossible for them to die from overeating because their body’s strength is not something ordinary people can compare to.
But eating too much and getting hurt is unavoidable.
"15 days? I thought at most 5 days had passed," Xu Yi said incredulously while chewing on the dried meat. He truly hadn’t realized that he had been cultivating for so many days.
The Supreme Profound Scripture is indeed difficult to cultivate!
I wonder if the Spirit God possesses a cultivation technique and whether it’s also profound and hard to cultivate.
After gnawing on two pieces of dried meat, Lu Ke placed a piece of meat on the table.
Xu Yi grabbed it and devoured it wildly.
"Xu Yi, Sister Su Yan and the others have arrived. But to avoid disturbing you, I had them camp a kilometer away." Lu Ke rested her chin in her hand, watching Xu Yi devour his food.
"Yes, let them stay there. Once I’m full, I will aim for level 7," Xu Yi said as he ate.
Indeed, he planned to attempt reaching level 7.
Since he was able to attract level 7 Spiritual Energy while cultivating, reaching level 7 should not be a problem.
Lu Ke’s eyes sparkled. Although she had guessed, hearing Xu Yi say so directly still surprised her.
The audiences in the live stream were even more surprised.
After all, Xu Yi hadn’t been at the peak of level 6 for long, and compared to before, this speed was quite fast.
However, the audience hoped Xu Yi could push to level 7 quickly.
Now, although there were no more rioters on Earth Star, people’s lives were beginning to be affected.
Power was being rationed daily, and many factories had ceased operations, with many companies announcing temporary closures too.
More people started watching the live stream, paying attention to Xu Yi’s every move.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Xu Yi’s actions directly influence certain policies within the Human Alliance.
They had already begun preparations to build planetary engines, requisitioning various engineering machinery worldwide and sending them to those locations.
Many transport vehicles were also requisitioned.
This left them without gasoline, so they could only use electric vehicles or new energy for travel.
The impact would only grow bigger.
At this point, everyone hoped Xu Yi could complete the challenge quickly and lead them to Spirit Blue Star.
Although everything would have to start anew on Spirit Blue Star, it held more hope than Earth Star. Staying on Earth Star meant the sun would explode.
Even if the Star Gate plan was initiated, only half of the population could enter the underground city shelters. Without sunlight, the surface would become utterly frigid, and everyone would freeze to death.
Entering Spirit Blue Star, despite the danger of being eaten by Fierce Beasts, it’s unlikely 20 or 30 billion people would all be devoured, right?
Without starting the planetary wandering plan, they could survive for a few more decades.
But once the planetary wandering plan started, when Earth Star drifted too far from the sun, half of the population would freeze to death.
So, they would rather risk being eaten by Fierce Beasts than freeze to death on Earth Star.
Additionally, everyone knows that even if the Star Gate stays open 24 hours a day, how many people can pass through in a day?
Thousands?
Tens of thousands?
Or hundreds of thousands?
For billions of people, how long will it take to pass through?
Moreover, they have to reach the Star Gate location first.
