Free Web NovelChapter 318: Chapter 175: A Land of Sorrow, a City of Blood; Just One Thought to Save the People
’It’s a shame I couldn’t bring the Celestial Destiny Sword with me. Otherwise, I could have used it to get out of this place.’
Wang Xiao thought to himself.
The Book of Space-Time could only help him bring one item back with him upon his return.
However, it was impossible to bring items into the world he transmigrated to!
Just as Wang Xiao was about to resume circulating the Heaven-Born All Things Nourishing People Technique,
he raised an eyebrow.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves grew closer and closer.
’Someone’s coming!’
Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up.
"Whoa—"
Soon, the sound of horses being reined in came from nearby.
Then, a somewhat lazy voice spoke up.
"Ah Hu, why are you asking for trouble? This village was massacred by that pack of Wolf Demons a whole day ago. How could there be any survivors? You’re just looking for misery. If that pack of Wolf Demons comes back, we’re both goners!"
Soon after, another voice, deep and gruff, replied.
"If you’re scared, you can go back. I’ll search by myself. If these bodies are just left piled up here, it could easily start a plague."
"Me, scared? Dammit, if your sister hadn’t asked me to keep an eye on your reckless ass, you think I’d be happy to come with you?!"
"I’m warning you, stay away from my sister!"
"Tch, your sister is scrawny as a stick. Who’d want her? If I’m looking for a woman, I’ll find someone like Ah Xiang from Yihong House. Big ass, big tits. Good for bearing children, and the kid won’t go hungry!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Debauchery is bad for you. If you still want to advance further in Martial Arts, you’d best give it up."
"Quit? Quit my ass! We’re just government officials. Our lives are pretty much set. We could die on any given mission, so why not enjoy ourselves while we’re young? No matter how hard we try, the most we can hope for is to open our Life Spring. Anything beyond that is basically a pipe dream!"
"You don’t have the will to become stronger. Even with the best resources, it would be useless!"
"Heh, Ah Hu, no wonder people call you a big fool. Right, you have the will to become stronger, so how come you’ve been training for over twenty years and haven’t even opened your Life Spring? You’re still just a constable at the Government Office, same as me!"
After he finished speaking, the man called Ah Hu seemed to fall silent.
Only the sound of footsteps and shifting lumber filled the air.
’These two seem to be government officials from the Government Office. It looks like human society in this world hasn’t completely collapsed yet!’
Wang Xiao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately circulated his Inner Qi and made a series of sounds!
THUMP THUMP THUMP!
Soon, two figures hurried over and finally, in a corner, discovered Wang Xiao lying amidst the wreckage!
Wang Xiao, his eyes slightly open, also saw the two figures.
Both figures were dressed in black and red uniforms, with long sabers hanging from their waists.
One of them was as thin as a monkey, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, looking as if he had overindulged in debauchery.
The other figure was sturdily built with a chiseled face. His determined, tiger-like eyes shone with spirit.

[Wenren Hu, twenty-three years old. Loved practicing Martial Arts since childhood. At age thirteen, his father was killed by a Dog Demon. His mother, overcome with grief, also passed away, leaving only him and his younger sister.]
[He took over his father’s post at the Government Office, becoming a government official. He has cultivated his Martial Arts diligently, but despite his perseverance, his Talent is lacking. At twenty-three, his Martial Arts is still unranked.]
[Future Trajectory: At age twenty-five, while on a mission, he will find an unnamed Secret Manual and a bottle of Elixir Pills. With them, he will successfully open his Life Spring. He will then join the Demon-slaying Bureau, slaying Demon Fiends along the way as his strength advances by leaps and bounds. At age fifty, he will become a powerhouse of the Foundation Establishment Realm.]
[In the 567th year of the Great Era, he will be killed by the Qinghai Dragon King.]
A flicker of movement in Wang Xiao’s eyes. His gaze shifted from the burly man to the other one.

[Lin AhSan, twenty-three years old. Lazy since childhood. Took over the post of government official from his father. Possesses excellent Martial Arts Talent but never studies diligently, instead indulging in brothels. His Martial Arts is unranked.]
[Future Trajectory: After experiencing the Wolf Demon massacre, he will have a sudden awakening. He will then cultivate diligently, opening his Life Spring in one year, mastering Meridian Passage in three, mastering Myriad Laws in five, reaching Foundation Establishment in ten, and becoming a powerhouse of the Divine Palace Realm in eighty.]
[In the 568th year of the Great Era, he will be invited to join the Godslaying Organization. Afterward, his strength will reach the Peak of the Divine Palace Realm.]
[In the 860th year of the Great Era, he will be killed by Siming Kang, a descendant of the Divine Race.]
Wang Xiao’s thoughts grew heavy as he looked at the information that had appeared for these two men.
He had to admit, both of these men were blessed by Destiny.
The former, Wenren Hu, cultivated diligently in his youth but remained mediocre.
However, a chance encounter allowed his accumulated potential to burst forth, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
The latter, Lin AhSan, was even more favored by fate. He possessed excellent Martial Arts Talent but drifted through life aimlessly until his sudden awakening.
His achievements would eventually surpass even Wenren Hu’s!
’It’s a pity. The situation for the Human Race in this world seems dire. Not only must they face the threat of Demon Fiends, but they are also enslaved by the Divine Race. No matter how many resistance organizations are formed, it’s all to no avail.’
’No matter how you look at it, it’s a dead end!’
Wang Xiao then recalled the scene he had witnessed before entering this world.
Behind these Divine-Demon Races, there was most likely a Tier Seven Life form.
If the Human Race couldn’t produce a Tier Seven Life form, they would be forever enslaved!
Of course, it wasn’t that the Human Race had never produced peerless powerhouses. In fact, many legacies had been left behind.
Unfortunately, it seemed all these peerless powerhouses had ultimately failed right on the cusp of success.
They left behind only their ancestral lands, which were now barely hanging on.
’The cultivation method of this world is rather similar to the Celestial Sword World. You first cultivate the physical body, then the Spirit. However, their Cultivation Technique seems to be more difficult and riskier than my Martial Arts.’
’In this world, you first temper and refine the physical body. Then, you use all your qi and blood to open a special Life Spring, which is similar to a Purple Mansion. After that comes Meridian Passage, Myriad Laws, Foundation Establishment, Divine Palace, and finally, Dragon Transformation...’
Wang Xiao quickly figured out the cultivation system of this world.
This world seemed to emphasize getting things done in one go, unlike Martial Arts, which progressed step-by-step.
Therefore, for an ordinary person to take up Cultivation, it was extremely difficult unless they had supreme Talent or a mountain of resources to rely on! freewebnovёl.ƈom
Moreover, the final Dragon Transformation Realm didn’t seem to be equivalent to a Tier Seven Life form.
It was merely equivalent to having manifested a Grotto Heaven.
’However, some of their Cultivation Techniques might be useful as a reference for me.’
’And the power of the Divine-Demon Races is also worth studying. It might help me break through to become a Tier Seven Life form!’
Wang Xiao fell into deep thought.
Just then, the slightly scrawny Lin AhSan exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh? Unbelievable, truly unbelievable! This baby actually survived for a day and a night!"
Wenren Hu’s eyes focused as he said:
"He is indeed extraordinary. But then again, life always finds a way to create miracles!"
Lin AhSan asked:
"So what do we do now?"
Wenren Hu said:
"What else can we do? We take him back, of course. Are you just going to watch him die?!"
Lin AhSan said:
"Taking him back is the easy part. The problem is, who’s going to raise him? A baby without mother’s milk needs to be fed purchased human milk, goat’s milk, or cow’s milk every day. That’s not a small expense!"
Wenren Hu let out a breath:
"You don’t have to worry about that. Since I found him, I will naturally raise him."
Lin AhSan said:
"What? You’ve been saving money for so long just to buy a bottle of Spring-Opening Pills. If you raise him, you won’t be able to afford them anytime soon. Once you’re past thirty, trying to open your Life Spring will be even more difficult!"
Wenren Hu’s expression didn’t change:
"The land is filled with wailing and the city flows with blood. It all comes down to a single desire to save the people. I don’t have the power or courage of the Celestial Venerables of the past..."
He paused.
His eyes were firm as he continued:
"But if I don’t even save a single baby, then I’m not worthy of being a man. And if that’s the case, I might as well give up on Martial Arts entirely!"
Lin AhSan sighed:
"Alright, alright. Count me in on taking care of this baby. Hurry up, cut his umbilical cord and let’s get him out of here. Otherwise, when the Wolf Demons return, we won’t even know how we died."
