Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Era of Mythology

“It’s surprisingly humanized.”

In the pitch-black bedroom, Wang Xuan turned off the lights, leaning against the headboard, exploring the accelerator in his mind.

After clicking on the “accelerate” button for the Mixed Element Stance, the same two options were displayed again, but in terms of realm, there were only Great Success and Perfection to choose from.

This acceleration also seems to have a limit; it cannot infinitely enhance the realm but can only reach the limit when the cultivation skills were created.

“After cultivating the Life Generating Technique, although my martial arts cultivation is still in the Muscle Training Realm, the first layer allowed me to reach the Peak of Muscle Training. Perhaps the second layer will be enough to repair my foundation to reach the Peak of Muscle Strengthening.”

Throughout the years, among the things useful for repairing the foundation, the Life Generating Technique had the most evident effect. Wang Xuan had to acknowledge the gratitude owed to that unruly, wealthy heir, Li Daoming.

That guy talks and acts without a care, yet he’s actually quite decent.

Looking at the accelerator options, Wang Xuan didn’t know which method to choose. One is progressive, allowing for the consumption of one or two Source Points for acceleration, while the other directly enhances the realm in one go.

After seeing that thirty Source Points were needed and that he had a hundred points in assets, Wang Xuan felt a bit confident. Just thirty Source Points? I really… can’t bear to use them.

So, on the accelerator, Wang Xuan targeted the Life Generating Technique and chose to consume one Source Point.

In the moment of clicking, a warm current flowed from his head to his body, and the Life Generating Technique started to operate at a speed hundreds or even thousands of times faster than usual.

In just a blink, the operation of the Life Generating Technique equaled a week’s worth of diligent practice, like running dozens of kilometers at light speed in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the vigorous vitality being stimulated within, and the noticeable repair of his foundation, Wang Xuan was overjoyed!

Just a single point of Source Point acceleration had such an effect; truly miraculous.

Wang Xuan carefully considered that when he usually cultivated the Life Generating Technique, although it operated most of the day, the most efficient time was still the two or three hours of meditation, while other times the efficiency was quite low.

It’s just like students memorizing lessons; the first half-hour to an hour yields the highest efficiency, but it declines thereafter, ending up with a headache and an unclear sense of what they are reading.

As the saying goes, moderation is key; excessiveness leads to negative outcomes. Wang Xuan’s practice of the Life Generating Technique was like this, with the body having a load limit and the stimulated vitality being finite.

“Accelerating one Source Point with the accelerator is actually equivalent to efficiently operating for a day, without decreasing efficiency over time. So, the efficient twenty-four hours is indeed equivalent to only the two or three efficient hours of a normal day, making one point equate to a week’s practice.”

This single Source Point saved him seven days of time. What’s the most precious thing in the world? Time. Cultivators race against time; they must enhance their realm before their lifespan ends to achieve perpetual longevity.

Wang Xuan didn’t understand the principle behind the accelerator, but this treasure of his is indeed magical, defying some of the iron laws of cultivators, playing an accelerating role, where one point equates to a day of the most efficient practice.

The damaged foundation had been visibly repaired, creating great excitement in Wang Xuan’s heart. As long as the foundation was repaired, using the accelerator to speed up his cultivation level would soar rapidly.

“Accelerate! Accelerate!”

With blood boiling, Wang Xuan clicked thrice more, and the Life Generating Technique accelerated again. In the span of a breath, it was equivalent to three weeks of practice, or twenty-one days.

Including the previous point, he used four acceleration points, sensing the vitality being stimulated within, realizing the effect was indeed equivalent to practicing for a month.

“Good!”

The cultivation progress of the Life Generating Technique improved significantly; even though it’s usually slow, the gap of a month is quite noticeable. At this rate, he might not need thirty points to reach the second layer!

The degree of foundational repair leaped significantly, making it hard for Wang Xuan to calm his excited heart. With progress like this, why would he worry about his foundation problems?

Suddenly, Wang Xuan’s mind went foggy, and he became pale and weak, like he hadn’t eaten for three days and nights. Checking his own condition, he was greatly shocked.

Physical depletion?

Physical depletion usually occurs when consumption exceeds supplement; hence, the saying, “rich arts call for wealth,” because martial arts training consumes a lot, requiring ample nutrition.

If nutrition is insufficient while practicing martial arts, it leads to physical depletion, causing the body to weaken, making one more vulnerable with each practice, and ultimately reducing lifespan.

“The operation of the Life Generating Technique during acceleration consumes so much vitality and blood. I accelerated four points directly, equivalent to a month’s consumption.

During this time, I did not supplement, causing this huge deficit. If it weren’t for my extraordinary physique, I would probably be in a hospital by now.”

Without hesitation, Wang Xuan took out three Grain Avoidance Pills, consuming them immediately. There were ample herbs and potions at home, so he indulged himself in food and drink until his stomach was full.

“It seems that before supplementing vitality and recovering the body, I shouldn’t use the accelerator anymore,” Wang Xuan thought.

In his current state, Wang Xuan was just a frail patient. If he didn’t have a sniper rifle, he would feel too fragile to withstand any impact.

No martial artist likes the state of being so weak that they can’t ensure their safety, and Wang Xuan was no exception.

He stopped cultivating and went to sleep directly. Until the next day, the state of vitality depletion had not improved. He indulged in meals, sparing no expense on precious herbs and nutrient liquids, using them directly as meals.

Unable to cultivate, Wang Xuan found himself with some free time; he didn’t go to work at the Martial Arts Hall. Last time the owner had asked for him, and with Chen Qingniu as his senior covering for him, taking a two-day leave wouldn’t be a problem.

After a day passed, Wang Xuan clearly felt his body’s deficit had improved a lot, estimating that his combat power would be restored to seventy or eighty percent by tomorrow, and in three to five days he would completely have no aftereffects.

Bored, Wang Xuan, the failed author in the mouth of the girl Su Qiubai, began to nurture his next book.

A cup of hot tea, a notebook, several books. Wang Xuan flipped through the history of more than four hundred years ago, his mind conjuring up a vast and magnificent world, occasionally jotting down notes.

In this era, he had an extremely ancient hobby, which was writing. At this moment, he was conceiving a novel, a modern youth traveling back over four hundred years, during that legendary mother’s star era, reaching the peak through his knowledge of history.

In reality, ordinary people look up to those immortal cultivators, seeing them become immortal and holy, how could they not yearn for it?

Therefore, even today in the 26th century, crossing to the initial era of mythology, a theme popular for hundreds of years, remains enduring.

In that age, the wind and clouds surged, opportunities were many, especially the novel’s creation background was based on the real history of Mother Star, attracting many readers.

After thinking for a long time, with a draft prepared, he began typing on a golden and flashy keyboard, said to be the most suitable for human anatomy, his ten fingers flying, lines of text appearing on the projected light screen.

“Year 2050, Honshu, Japan of the Pacific West Coast, a ten-zhang long and wide portal descended from the heavens, automatically opening, curious citizens walked inside.

The world did not know, this gate called the Gate of the World in later generations, led to another world, where individual military power was strong enough to break mountains and sever rivers.

The Japan Army moved swiftly, covering the information and intending to monopolize this Gate of the World, dispatched large armies to conquer the Otherworld, but did not expect a strong external force to unite numerous Otherworld factions, unexpectedly annihilating all of the army, instead crossing the Gate of the World to Mother’s Star.

Warriors of great strength from the Otherworld, top-notch ones not even fearing missiles, their flesh body considered Vajra Indestructible, surpassing many hard metals.

Their spiritual power was strong, using cultivation techniques to make ordinary people lose their mind and obey was not a difficult task, easily controlling many of Japan’s heads, turning the entire Japan into a puppet, this island nation instead became a fortress for Otherworld’s invasion of Mother’s Star.

Luckily, heaven blessed Mother’s Star, one of Japan’s nuclear power plants had an issue, unexpectedly causing an explosion, with a chain reaction many nuclear plants were affected.

Such an explosion carelessly led to volcanic eruptions, then a major earthquake descended, the entire Japan sank, with no survivors among its billion population…

Such a tragedy made the world’s people mourn for them.”

Wang Xuan paused slightly after writing this, in reality, such statements were not believed by the world; this already disappeared country had several nuclear leaks before, why weren’t there explosions? Why weren’t there volcanic eruptions and world-class earthquakes?

This kind of disaster sinks all of Japan, the power too large, how could there not be several islands left, surviving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands?

Unfortunately, that period of history was covered by the Federation, apart from some major powers involved knowing the beginning and end, leaving behind texts and video data, ordinary people would not know.

After writing a passage, Wang Xuan paused again, stepping out of the study to the balcony, raising his hands and slightly bending his knees, beginning a Posture Stance to accelerate the digestion of nutrients within.

Wang Xuan returned to the study, his thoughts clear, the framework of the new book conceived, continuing to tap out the text.

“All major nations united, using numerous technological products and armies to seal the Gate of the World tightly, large-yield nuclear weapons ready to detonate, cautiously beginning to contact the Otherworld.

Through technology, Mother Star stole a large amount of Otherworld’s cultivation techniques, while the Otherworld’s warriors in the island nation suffered heavy casualties, greatly reducing Otherworld’s war potential.

War erupted, Otherworld’s population sharply reduced, environment worsened, all major nations united to plunder Otherworld’s resources.

Year after year passed, people found that Mother’s Star’s area was actually increasing, spiritual qi gradually beginning to return, some ancient mountain gates and divinities reappeared.

Several decades later, the entire Otherworld was devoured by Mother’s Star, its volume doubled, a new era began.”

Otherworld was devoured by Mother’s Star, bringing forth an unprecedented Celestial Dew Rain, spiritual material fused into the earth, greatly enhancing all living beings’ constitution, the weak and ill became healthy, cultivators also seized the opportunity to break through realms.

Of course, not only humans benefitted, millions of animals and plants did as well, among them appeared many mutated creatures.

Simultaneously, the energy source created by the collapse of Otherworld, even devoured ninety-nine percent by Mother’s Star, still left much scattered outside, obtained by lucky ones.

These lucky ones mostly rose up, some famously strong figures on Mother Star arose from such opportunities.

In the following four hundred years, Earth constantly saw the appearance of Gates of the World, each cultivator participating, all for the sake of plundering resources and opportunities.

Mother Star’s cultivation system was also founded by the joint effort of many Immortals, thus beginning a universal cultivation era.

This era was called the Era of Mythology. An era where universal cultivation strength was continuous, creating one mythology after another.

Wang Xuan’s hands moved quickly, typing more than ten thousand words in an hour, publishing the new book “Era King”, uploading two Chapters, stretching lazily as he stood up.

Writing books, the money earned in a month was about the same as an ordinary person’s salary, he only treated it as a hobby, exercising his mind in between training.

He wasn’t a block of wood, knowing only cultivation twenty-four hours a day; living like that would eventually cause the inner string in his heart to break, writing books was also a process of combining work and rest.

Even though it didn’t earn much, writing books was at least a profession, enough to fool the family, allowing them to be at ease.
