Live Strong in the Wilderness

"Mm, let’s go together." Xu Yi nodded, then flew together with Qin Fan towards the war zone.

The Jialan Royal Family doesn’t like using mounts; they prefer flying on their own.

It can be said that they despise external assistance.

Moreover, once their flying speed improves, it’s more reliable than using any bird mount.

If, by any chance, your mount gets tamed by the opponent, or if they set a trap, you’re easily dealt with.

Especially the Demon Race, they can tame their kind much more easily than the Jialan Race can tame the Fierce Beasts.

Previously, there have been such incidents.

After a few days of flying, the two arrived at the war zone.

"So, have you gathered any intelligence during my absence?" asked Xu Yi curiously.

Qin Fan nodded, then took out a notebook and handed it to Xu Yi.

"It’s all written in here, and the situation is worse than we expected. Additionally, the expedition time has been set; the distant expedition will be a year from now. I came back this time to attend a meeting and inform everyone about the expedition," Qin Fan said worriedly as he handed the notebook to Xu Yi.

"Is the timing confirmed?" Xu Yi asked immediately. A year is quite a while, at least longer than Xu Yi and the Spirit God expected.

"Yes, it’s confirmed, though it may be delayed by one or two months," Qin Fan affirmed.

"That’s good; with such a long time, we can prepare well," Xu Yi said happily.

In a year’s time, Lu Ke and others would have already reached level 20. Also, the Spirit God and others can reach level 20 too.

A level 20 Divine Master, combined with the Spirit Race’s battleship, can surely win this space war.

With this time, humans and the Spirit Race can develop well.

Perhaps, reaching a higher realm is also possible.

At that time, continuously depleting the middle-class Divine Masters of the Jialan Race would mean cutting off their roots.

Without mid-level Divine Masters, there would only be a few upper-level ones and those struggling to enter mid and lower levels. Then the Jialan Civilization would be doomed.

After all, they still need to deal with the Demon Race.

Without the mid-level ones, they can’t withstand the Demon Race’s attacks.

If the Demon Race unites, they can easily swallow the Jialan Civilization.

So, this time Xu Yi came to not only investigate the Pan Race but also to attempt to convince the two Demon Race Empires to unite and swallow the Jialan Empire.

If this succeeds, the Jialan Empire would no longer be a threat.

Without the support of the Jialan Race, those imprisoned Divine Races can’t stir up trouble.

Xu Yi is sure that the Divine Race cultivated the Jialan Empire for their benefit.

Otherwise, would the Divine Race be so kind?

A civilization that thrives on plundering and enslaving others can’t possibly be kind-hearted enough to evolve a species into advanced civilization.

Unless doing so benefits the Divine Race significantly, benefitting them more than it costs.

"Also, the limitation is constantly being broken, now it’s level 20, but in a year, who knows what level it will be," Qin Fan said worriedly, having a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Jialan Empire’s strength after nearly seven months.

"Mm, we are aware of this situation too. You, are you still continuing?" Xu Yi glanced at Qin Fan, ready to arrange his departure if he wished.

However, Xu Yi knew he was just asking; Qin Fan would definitely stay.

"I’ll stay, I need to enhance my strength," Qin Fan replied cryptically.

Xu Yi nodded and said, "This is enemy territory; you’re alone here without backup. So, taking care of and protecting yourself is the most important thing."

Qin Fan nodded and smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m quite stable now."

Xu Yi smiled slightly; previously reckless, Qin Fan had now become stable, which was not easy.

Then, Xu Yi used Purification Skills on Qin Fan, consecutively.

Having experienced it before, Qin Fan was familiar with the skill.

Afterwards, Xu Yi left directly.

The place where the Divine Race is imprisoned, Xu Yi still had to go.

After investigating there, Xu Yi could go to the Demon Race to persuade the two Demon Race Empires to join forces against the Jialan Empire.

After a few more days, Xu Yi returned to the Holy City.

There were only three days left before the second annual gift package, so Xu Yi intended to claim the Advanced Gift Package first and then head to the Divine Race’s imprisoned place.

Possibly, this time, the system would give some surprises.

After all, he now had Intermediate Authority of the system, making it smarter.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, three days passed.

On the morning of the third day, Xu Yi finished his cultivation at just past five.

"Ding, consecutive logins for 372 days, received an Advanced Gift Package." The system’s voice remained cold, unaffected by Xu Yi acquiring Advanced Authority.

"System, open the package," Xu Yi commanded directly in his mind.

After all, this package was extremely important to him.

"Ding, received the Cultivation Technique ’Supreme Profound Scripture’ - Later Volume."

"Ding, received the Cultivation Technique ’Supreme Scripture’ - First Volume."

"Ding, received Advanced Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion *10."

"Ding, received the Advanced Secret Skill - Thunder Strike."

"Ding, received Advanced Skill - Stealth."

"Ding, received Advanced Skill - Spiritual Control (the target must be 10 levels lower than oneself)."

"Ding, received Advanced Storage Space *100 cubic (can keep plants active)."

The continuous seven notifications invigorated Xu Yi.

These were all good things.

Not only obtained the latter part of the ’Supreme Profound Scripture,’ but also acquired another Cultivation Technique, ’Supreme Scripture.’

And the Secret Skill Thunder Strike, which was also very powerful.

Previously, Xu Yi wondered if there would be other elemental Secret Skills since there were already Ice and Fire Secret Skills.

As it turns out, there really was a Thunder Element one.

With the Thunder Element, would there be other elements?

The Advanced Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion, this time, a whopping 10 bottles were given. Last time, there was only one!

The system had become very generous. However, Xu Yi wondered if this Advanced Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion would be useful to him.

If it was useful, that would be fantastic.

If not, Xu Yi wouldn’t be disappointed. After all, at that time, his level was much different from now.

If he couldn’t use it, others might.

Qin Fan might be able to use it. If not, then the War God Department members could.

This kind of potion that can enhance spiritual power is valuable at any stage.

At the same time, Xu Yi hoped to acquire the formula for this Spiritual Power Enhancement Potion.

With that, humanity could become extremely strong.

Stealth!

This was impressive; Xu Yi felt his previous invisibility technique probably wasn’t as effective as this Stealth.

With this skill, gathering intelligence at the Divine Race’s imprisoned place would be much safer.

Spiritual Control, this was even more formidable.

Besides the Cultivation Technique, Xu Yi was most excited about this.

This was more advanced than taming, able to directly control opponents.

However, the limitation was high; it was only effective against targets 10 levels lower than oneself.

Meaning Xu Yi could only use Spiritual Control on level 12 targets. Additionally, Xu Yi felt this Spiritual Control might not succeed immediately; there should be a success rate probability.

The last one, Advanced Storage Space, could keep stored items active.

Meaning after putting plants inside, they would remain active and could be replanted without any problem. With this, Xu Yi could easily transplant some plants.

The previous Storage Space could keep plants fresh but couldn’t allow for replanting after taking them out.
