So, the two of them packed up the tent and other things, then went straight to meet the others.

"Xu Yi, you’ve emerged from your retreat. How’s it going? Did you successfully create your own cultivation technique?" Wang Jin couldn’t resist gossiping as soon as she saw Xu Yi. After all, Lu Ke previously mentioned that Xu Yi might be working on his own cultivation technique.

"I’ve gained some insights, but there’s still some distance from success." Xu Yi replied with a smile, after all, the cultivation technique was very special, and Xu Yi wasn’t ready to admit he had completely created one yet.

"Then, did you have a breakthrough?" Wang Jin thought of another possibility and couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Yi smiled lightly at Wang Jin, sat down, picked up a few pieces of dried mango, and said, "Yeah, I’ve successfully broken through to level 7. So, tomorrow Lu Ke and I will continue the journey, and head towards the territory of the level 7 Fierce Beast."

The others were shocked when they heard this.

After all, Xu Yi hadn’t been at the peak of level 6 for long.

Could a bit of insight really allow Xu Yi to break through to level 7? If he had a complete cultivation technique, wouldn’t he breakthrough even faster?

Xu Yi’s breakthrough boosted everyone’s expectations for the cultivation technique even more.

Of course, it also increased everyone’s pressure.

Everyone hoped to keep up with Xu Yi and not fall behind.

But as things stand, they have never been able to keep pace with Xu Yi and Lu Ke. Just when they seemed to be catching up, Xu Yi and Lu Ke went ahead again.

"Does reaching level 7 make one arrogant?" Wang Jin picked up a piece of dried mango, sat across from Xu Yi, and stared at him intently. After asking, she stuffed the dried mango into her mouth.

"No, it makes you calmer." Xu Yi smiled slightly at Wang Jin, then withdrew his gaze and continued, "If all goes well, after Lu Ke and I set off for the territory of the level 7 Fierce Beast, we won’t be back until we’ve completed the challenge."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jin’s hand froze, and the dried mango fell from her hand. However, it was quickly controlled by telekinesis and flew into her mouth.

Qin Fan took out a cigarette, handed one to Xu Yi, and helped him light it.

After taking a drag, Qin Fan asked, "Xu Yi, do you think there’s a high chance of completing it ahead of schedule?"

Xu Yi exhaled a ring of smoke and said, "About seventy to eighty percent chance, there’s still an opportunity. But certainly, the challenge will be completed before the 500-day mark arrives. So, viewers in the live stream, you can rest assured that you’ll definitely be able to come to Spirit Blue Star."

After speaking, Xu Yi waved to the follow-ball camera and continued, "Additionally, let me reveal an important piece of news to you. Civilization on planet No. 3 has currently reached a cooperation agreement with the Spirit Race. It seems they’re not very interested in our new home—Spirit Blue Star."

The information disclosed by Xu Yi instantly sent the viewers into a frenzy.

Previously, they were quite worried about planet No. 3.

After all, the civilization on planet No. 3 is very powerful, and even the Spirit Race’s warships were destroyed by them.

If they were interested in humans or Spirit Blue Star, humans wouldn’t be able to protect Spirit Blue Star. Because, frankly, the strength is too weak.

So those preparing to enter Spirit Blue Star were already mentally prepared.

However, Xu Yi brought such great news.

Upon Xu Yi’s news, the Human Alliance’s higher-ups heaved a sigh of relief.

They were quite clear about how brutal a civilization war can be.

Either you’re completely annihilated, or thoroughly submit.

Compromise?

The opposition will not give you the chance to compromise because if there’s any retaliation, it would cause significant impact and loss. In that case, they’d rather wipe you out and occupy your star.

"So, at least we humans have thirty to forty years of peaceful development. Although we’ve only just begun Spiritual Cultivation and Telekinesis Cultivation, we still have the chance to surpass. After all, the potential of humanity is quite big. Once you arrive on Spirit Blue Star, I hope each of you will strive to cultivate."

Saying this, Xu Yi took another drag on his cigarette and exhaled slowly.

"In the future, humans might need to ward off enemies from outside the planet at any time. Any internal conflicts and disputes can be set aside for the time being. Our primary task is to become stronger, to make all of humanity stronger."

"Talking about such serious topics while smoking doesn’t seem appropriate. Alright, let’s leave it at that. I’m not actually good at such things. I just happened to awaken to Spiritual Power; otherwise, I’d still be an extraordinarily ordinary person." Xu Yi remarked as he flicked the ash and gestured for the follow-ball camera to move further away.

"There are over a hundred days left until the five-hundredth day, and we’ve been here for over a year now. So, let’s make some dumplings today. Make enough to give Xu Yi and Lu Ke to take along so they can eat them later. Use the meat of level 6 Fierce Beast to make them, which will also provide ample energy for everyone." Su Yan suggested, knowing Xu Yi particularly enjoyed dumplings. Because, during his hospital stay, he frequently ordered dumplings from a certain place.

Later, Su Yan visited that place and found the taste indeed excellent. Furthermore, the hygiene at that establishment is particularly good. Perhaps because Xu Yi himself delivered food, he’s more aware of things outsiders might not know.

"Alright, let’s go with that, I’ll chop the meat." Wang Jin was the first to respond, as she too noticed how fond Xu Yi was of dumplings. So last time, she learned every step meticulously.

The thought of Xu Yi eating the dumplings she made filled Wang Jin with happiness.

"Sure, make plenty. If I could have dozens of dumplings every morning for breakfast, it would be wonderful." Xu Yi said happily, clearly showing his fondness for dumplings.

So, everyone got busy.

Xu Yi previously brought over a dozen bags of flour, each weighing 50 pounds.

This time, it’s clear they plan on going big.

With telekinesis and spiritual power, mixing dough and chopping vegetables became easy tasks.

Everyone collaborated, like an assembly line, with great efficiency.

They made over 400 pounds of flour into dumplings, adding the filling, it’s estimated to weigh over a thousand pounds of dumplings. Thankfully, Xu Yi’s Storage Space was large, otherwise, fitting over ten thousand dumplings would have been impossible.

Now, it’s uncertain whether Xu Yi might grow tired of dumplings and never eat them again.

With over ten thousand dumplings, Xu Yi and Lu Ke could eat a hundred each morning and still have enough for over a hundred days.

Having four or fifty dumplings in one meal is basically their current standard caloric requirement.

In the evening, Xu Yi even ate over fifty large dumplings.

There was no choice, with their strong digestion capabilities, the demand for energy was high.

If these dumplings didn’t contain half the meat of level 6 Fierce Beast, they wouldn’t meet their energy needs.

Xu Yi and Lu Ke stayed in the camp until the next morning, then set out separately riding Lightning and White Feather.

Xu Yi left Black Qilin behind, so if anything needed transporting, Black Qilin could handle it. Because Black Qilin could understand some basic human language, it wouldn’t mess up tasks executed.

Other Fierce Beasts compared to Black Qilin were still somewhat inferior.
