I Can Share Others' Opportunities

Chapter 72: Chapter 69: Collective Advancement, Manifestation Realm!

Just as Liu Zimo had said earlier.

The Vajra Tenderloin was so delicious that one bite would make you fall completely in love with it!

Especially the tenderloin of a Regiment Level Vajra Beast right in front of them—it was the absolute cream of the crop. Because the evolutionary limit for a species of Demon Beast like the Vajra Beast seemed to be the Regiment Level. At least, in the past thirty years, Liu Zimo had never seen a Vajra Beast exceeding the Regiment Level.

Otherwise, this race wouldn’t have been hunted to near extinction by human hunters.

On the Celestial Terrace, everyone was conquered by the tender and exquisite taste of the Vajra Tenderloin, devouring it in large bites without any regard for their image.

The grilled tenderloin melted in their mouths, transforming into bursts of scorching Qi Blood Energy that filled their stomachs. It was then absorbed through their intestines and rapidly circulated to every part of their bodies.

Subsequently, under the effects of the Guiding Breathing Method, this Qi Blood Energy was swiftly refined and retained, converted into the Martial Artists’ own Inner Breath cultivation, and stored within their Dantian and Qihai.

BOOM!

BOOM!

After consuming just two or three palm-sized pieces of grilled meat, the twenty-seven Martial Artists present—all at the peak of the Copper Skin Realm—began to collectively break through and advance, as naturally as water flowing through a channel!

Qi Blood overflowed from everyone’s bodies, and their bones rumbled. Their height and physique shrank rapidly at a visible rate.

They became thinner, shorter, and stronger! This was the clear hallmark of advancing from the Copper Skin Realm to the Iron Bone Realm! With bones as dense as iron and muscles like copper, their height and weight would undergo a reversal-level transformation.

Soon, in just a few minutes, all twenty-seven peak Copper Skin Realm Martial Artists had completed their metamorphosis into the Iron Bone Realm. Their auras surged, imposing and majestic.

As their cultivations broke through, twenty-seven notification prompts rang consecutively in Liu Zimo’s ears:

[Your Good Brother Shi Zhenbin consumed ten catties of Regiment Level Vajra Tenderloin. His foundation is solidified, and his Qi Blood has skyrocketed. Talent Attribute ”Heaven-Stealing” triggered. Splitting the serendipity, you share half of his Qi Blood boost. Martial Arts Foundation +5, Qi Blood +2000.]

[Your Good Brother Shi Zhenbin practiced the Guiding Breathing Method and gained enlightenment. His Qi erupted, breaking through to the beginner stage of the Iron Bone Realm in one fell swoop. Talent Attribute ”Heaven-Stealing” triggered. Splitting the serendipity, you share half of his cultivation boost. Martial Arts Cultivation +10, Spiritual Power +5, Lifespan +10.]

[Your bestie Jin Yunping practiced the Guiding Breathing Method and gained enlightenment. Her Qi erupted, breaking through to the beginner stage of the Iron Bone Realm in one fell swoop... Martial Arts Cultivation +10, Spiritual Power +3, Lifespan +10.]

[...]

BOOM!

A massive amount of Martial Arts Cultivation suddenly surged within his Qi Sea Dantian! Abundant Spiritual Power also began to continuously wash and circulate within his Sea of Consciousness!

However, having the previous experience and preparation of a sudden, massive boost in cultivation strength, Liu Zimo did not let his Qi leak out from being caught off guard like before. When this foreign power suddenly surged forth, Liu Zimo merely sat in his seat, slightly stunned for a moment, before quickly returning to normal and continuing to eat the grilled meat on his plate as if nothing had happened.

With his cultivation reaching the peak of the Fetal Breath Realm and his Divine Soul Cultivation advancing to the higher Spirit Sea Realm, his ability to control his own Qi had long surpassed that of an ordinary Grandmaster. The current Liu Zimo could already calmly receive and refine this suddenly surging foreign energy.

The people around him could not detect the slightest abnormal change in Liu Zimo. In their eyes, he was still calmly and naturally savoring the tender grilled meat in front of him.

No one could imagine that Advisor Liu, who was sitting right in front of them, had unknowingly completed the metamorphosis from the Fetal Breath Realm to the Manifestation Realm!

Meanwhile, Yao Lingling, who had been trapped in Liu Zimo’s Sea of Consciousness, viscerally felt the drastic changes occurring within his body and Sea of Consciousness. At this moment, it was going crazy, its thoughts flying wildly as it screamed and shouted in his mind.

”Is there no end to this?! Is there no end to this?!” it screamed.

”How long has it even been? Five minutes? Ten?

”This Sea of Consciousness is rapidly expanding outward again! Even his Martial Dao Will has acquired a trace of Divinity. This is too damn exaggerated!

”How can a Spirit Cultivator of the human race from a low-level world step onto the Saint Dao and awaken Divine Intent? Where is the justice in that? Even in the Illusion Demon Realm, human Martial Artists who can awaken Divine Intent before the age of twenty are incredibly rare!

”Ahhhh! This is so frustrating!!! I... What sins did I commit in my past life to be forced into this freakish Sea of Consciousness Space?!”

Clearly, this Proud Heaven Insect had been so stimulated that it was beginning to doubt its life as an insect. It was also becoming increasingly insecure about whether it would be able to escape this Sea of Consciousness alive in the future.

Sensing the abnormal fluctuations in his Sea of Consciousness, Liu Zimo did not forget to split a wisp of his attention to enter it while refining his cultivation and consolidating his realm. He watched with interest as this Proud Heaven Insect rolled back and forth restlessly within the Sea of Consciousness, eavesdropping on the wisps of thought fluctuations emanating from it.

”Saint Dao? Divine Intent?” Liu Zimo murmured to himself.

”Is this the Demon Race’s unique term for human Martial Artists who advance to become Martial Saints and birth a Saint Level will?

”Also, this Soul-Devouring Insect seemed to have just mentioned human Martial Artists in the Illusion Demon Realm. It seems that this so-called Illusion Demon Realm isn’t a realm where only the Demon Race exists.”

In his previous life, many scholars in the human Federation had this kind of speculation as well. Furthermore, they had tried more than once to reverse-enter the Illusion Demon Realm through the Transmission Passage in the void for exploration. As a result, they all failed without exception.

Even Saint Level Martial Artists like Hong Yuxun and Lou Yuchen could not truly approach the Transmission Passage in the void, let alone enter it in reverse.

Now, hearing the Soul-Devouring Insect’s muttering, Liu Zimo could confirm in advance that humans did indeed exist in the Illusion Demon Realm. However, wanting to establish contact with them or even beseeching the human race of the Illusion Demon Realm to save Earth was somewhat wishful thinking.

Setting aside whether Earth’s Martial Artists could reverse teleport into the Illusion Demon Realm, even if they succeeded, who could guarantee that the humans there would definitely lend a helping hand? Just how powerful the Demon Race was could be glimpsed from those King Level and even Divine Level Demon Beasts that descended upon Earth thirty years later.

The human race living in the Illusion Demon Realm might not necessarily be faring any better than the surviving human race on Earth.

Liu Zimo withdrew his thoughts, deciding not to dwell on it any longer. In the future, if he had the opportunity and the strength, he might figure out a way to visit the humans in the Illusion Demon Realm. But for now, figuring out a way to resolve the crisis and trouble at hand was far more important!

Liu Zimo hadn’t forgotten that there were still two Soul-Devouring Insects hiding in the shadows of Luozhou City that had yet to be found. Their existence posed a significant threat and hidden danger to the overall safety and stability of Luozhou City.

Thinking of this, Liu Zimo shifted his mind and once again loosened some of the restrictions on Yao Lingling. He allowed it to perceive everything he saw in the outside world at any time through a Spirit Passage he deliberately reserved for it. This way, by monitoring the thought fluctuations of this chatterbox Yao Lingling, he could detect anomalies at any moment and ferret out the other two Soul-Devouring Insects.

Sure enough.

Just as he relaxed the restrictions, Liu Zimo heard the Proud Heaven Insect’s muttering fluctuations become even more frequent.

”Eh, I can actually perceive the outside world now!” it gloated.

”Hahaha! Humans are just humans. Even if he’s a freak, it’s inevitable that he’ll slip up and doze off sometimes! With this mental loophole, I might just have a chance to contact the patriarch in the future and beg him to save me!

”Tsk, tsk. These lowly humans are actually eating Vajra Tenderloin?

”What a waste! Don’t they know that Vajra Tenderloin must be paired with Vajra Beast bile to fully stimulate its life essence? That’s the most exquisite combination!

”Eating it like this, the taste is decent, but they’re wasting at least half of the life essence within the tenderloin!

”This is what creatures from low-level worlds are like: living primitively, incredibly short-sighted, lacking even the most basic common sense. Compared to the Illusion Demon Realm human Martial Artists I used to enslave, the humans here are vastly inferior...”

Hearing this, Liu Zimo’s eyes lit up. He immediately sent a telepathic message to Yang Sisi beside him.

”Sisi, go and fetch that Vajra Beast gallbladder from the training ground. It’s of great use!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Sisi hurriedly stuffed the last piece of grilled meat from her plate into her mouth. With bulging cheeks, she voiced her compliance, left her seat, and leaped down from the rooftop Celestial Terrace.

In an instant, after just a few breaths of time, she hauled up that enormous, three-hundred-catty green gallbladder.
