Time passed.
One month, two months, three months …
Unknowingly, it had been nearly a year since Tsing Hui returned to Earth.
In this one year, he had relied on the Soul Refining Pills to cultivate eight top powerhouses. Four of these eight top powerhouses had broken through to Class 7 when they took the Soul Refining Pills. The remaining four had also broken through to Class 7 after a year of continuous refinement and training. Although they could not kill Class 3 and Class 4 Ferocious Beasts like they could when they were Class 2 and Class 3 Ferocious Beasts, they already had the ability to fight against Class 8 Ferocious Beasts.
In addition, the greatest advantage of humans was wisdom and teamwork. If one person could not kill a Rank-8 Direbeast, several people would join forces to form a team to kill those Rank-8 Direbeasts. In this case, in this year, more than twenty Rank-8 Direbeasts died in their hands, almost half of all the Rank-8 Direbeasts on Earth. As for the remaining half, they were basically gregarious Direbeasts and were not easy to kill. Even if they wanted to eliminate them, they could only do it slowly.
In addition, with the promotion of the Nine Forging Divine Arts and the establishment of the Psionic Association, many psionic ability users were born in the Earth civilization.
However, most of the psionic ability users were limited to Rank-3. Rank-4 was quite rare, and the highest were the Rank-7 warriors who took the Soul Refining Pills. While these people took the Soul Refining Pills to strengthen their physique, their spirit also seemed to be tempered under the effect of Refining Qi into Spirit, and they broke through to Rank-6.
Unfortunately, this level was still far from the requirement to pilot a divine-grade mech. Tsing Hui even suspected that even after sixteen years, the Earth civilization might not be able to produce a single psionic ability user whose spirit had reached the threshold of Rank-9.
The development of the Earth civilization was generally still thriving, but for Tsing Hui, the more time passed, the more intense the torment in his heart became.
There was no other reason other than there had been no news of Jiang Ningzhi.
At this moment, he had even begun to despair.
If it were not for the belief in his heart that Jiang Ningzhi would not die so easily, he would have even given up on continuing the search.
Under the pressure of not being able to find her, he did not even have the mood to study the fourth sword after the Sword of Eclipse, the Sword of Black Sun …
Even if the scientists of the research institute had provided a complete research model.
Finally …
No matter how unwilling Tsing Hui was to face it, he had to admit it.
Jiang Ningzhi …
Perhaps he had really died in the catastrophe at the beginning of the outbreak of the berserk beasts.
…
"Tsing Hui?"
In the City Lord's Mansion of Guyu City, Qing Yuming had just finished his business and was coming out. When he saw Tsing Hui waiting at the door, he immediately called out and smiled. "Since you're here, why didn't you inform me? I could have come down earlier."
"Father, you're now the City Lord of Ancient Jade City and the Deputy Commander of Ancient Jade City Base. You're a major figure with the rank of Lieutenant General. You're busy every day, so it's not good for me to disturb you."
Tsing Hui said with a smile.
"Let's go. If there's anything, we can talk about it as we go back. Your Aunt Haitang has been talking about inviting you over for a meal and thanking you properly. However, I've been rejecting you with the excuse that you're busy. Since you're here today, don't leave."
Qing Yuming pulled Qing Xu and was about to walk towards his residence.
Tsing Hui didn't refuse and just said, "Father, since you've already given them the petals of the Unfalling Flower, I won't say anything else. I just hope that she can live a good life with you."
Speaking of this matter, Tsing Hui was quite helpless.
He gave Qing Yuming a Unfalling Flower. Because he was worried that Qing Yuming wouldn't be able to bear the medicinal power of the Unfalling Flower, he divided it into five petals and let him consume them one by one. He didn't expect that after learning about the effects of the Unfalling Flower, he actually secretly hid three petals and gave them to Haitang, Qing Yuxin, and Hai Weier. If he hadn't noticed the change in Hai Weier's aura, he probably wouldn't have noticed this.
He naturally felt quite unhappy about this matter, but it had already happened. In addition to Qing Yuming's persuasion and Haitang's performance in the past year, Tsing Hui couldn't get angry in the end and could only acquiesce to this matter.
"Father, I have something to tell you this time."
"Oh?"
Qing Yuming looked at Tsing Hui, "Do you want to go somewhere else?"
"No need, let's talk while we walk."
Tsing Hui organized his words a little before slowly opening his mouth, "In fact, I'm afraid it's not just you, father. Everyone in the Earth Federation is very curious about how I have the combat power not inferior to a rank-10 advanced life form and also brought with me so many mystical exotic flowers and fruits, right?"
"If you don't want to talk about this matter, we won't force you. I believe that no one in the Earth Federation will force you."
Qing Yuming said consciously.
"That's true, but you've already seen the current situation of the Earth Federation. Although I've given them mech technology and spiritual ability user cultivation methods, as the barrier protecting our world gradually disappears, there will be a day when Captain Sauron, who is eyeing our civilization covetously, will kill our civilization on Earth. And this won't take a long time, at most a hundred years! Do you think that our civilization on Earth will be able to resist the invasion of such a terrifying powerhouse after a hundred years? "
Qing Yuming had now been promoted to the high-level council of the Huaxia region as an exception. Because of his relationship with Tsing Hui, he even had a seat in the Supreme Council. It was just that he was only a substitute with the qualification to listen in.
Although he was a substitute, he knew the current danger that Earth civilization was facing like the back of his hand. At the same time, he also understood how terrifying Captain Sauron was. Even if Earth civilization developed for another hundred years and built hundreds and thousands of holy mechs, they would still be destroyed in front of a terrifying rank-15 creature like Sauron.
"What do you want to do?"
"We have to find a way out for Earth civilization."
Qing Yuming suddenly understood, "You … you want to leave?"
Tsing Hui nodded, "If I leave, the barrier of Earth will inevitably weaken again. The next expansion of space should be some day in sixteen years. I'll try my best to come in sixteen years."
"Sixteen years …"
Qing Yuming's face was a little gloomy.
His father had been separated for thirteen years, and now they had only been reunited for a year. Now that they had to be separated for another sixteen years, he naturally felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
However, he understood that Tsing Hui's departure to find a way out for Earth civilization was imperative. No one had the right to stop him, not even his father. Therefore, in order not to pressure Tsing Hui, he could only pretend to be relaxed and smile, "It's only sixteen years. Don't forget, I've consumed an entire Unfalling Flower. If the Unfalling Flower is really as magical as you say, I should be able to live for a thousand years. Sixteen years is nothing. Go ahead, and even if you leave a little longer, it doesn't matter. I believe that in sixteen years, our Earth Federation will definitely be able to create a powerful holy mech and cultivate rank-7, rank-8, and even rank-9 psychic ability users. When that time comes, even if the space passage expands again, we can still easily deal with it. Therefore, you don't have to force yourself too much. If you can't think of a way in sixteen years, think about it more. Earth won't be in any danger."
Hearing this, Tsing Hui only nodded seriously.
"When the time comes, I'll gather the upper echelons of the Parliament to explain this matter. However, apart from this, there's another matter that I need you to personally watch over."
"Speak."
Qing Yuming tidied his clothes and said solemnly.
"This matter is related to senior sister Jiang Ningzhi."
"Jiang Ningzhi …"
Hearing Tsing Hui mention this matter, Qing Yuming's face darkened slightly, "I didn't expect her to be so important in your heart. If I had known, I would've thought of a way to help you protect Jiang Ningzhi even at the risk of offending the Ye and Huang families. But now, you've used all the power of the Earth Federation and have searched for her for an entire year without finding her. I'm afraid she's really …"
"No!"
Tsing Hui reached out and pointed at his forehead, "I believe in my intuition. She's not dead yet."
Qing Yuming looked at Tsing Hui and wanted to persuade him again. However, under the influence of guilt, he didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only sigh, "What do you want me to do?"
"I need father to continue supervising the order to search for senior sister Jiang Ningzhi. At the same time …"
Tsing Hui took out a soul-refining pill and a non-falling flower, "If you find her, give this to her."
Qing Yuming took the two items and carefully put them away, "Don't worry. If I find her, I'll give these to her."
"Okay."
Qing Xu nodded. In the end, he added, "Father, don't let anyone know about these two items. You should understand their value in the Earth Federation."
Qing Yuming couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, "You brat, I know this kind of thing better than you. I don't need you to remind me."
After saying that, he suddenly fell silent.
Tsing Hui didn't say anything else. Instead, he pressed the elevator button and the two of them entered the elevator.
"Little Xu, when you go to that place … take care of yourself …"
After a while, when the elevator was about to reach the floor where Qing Yuming lived, Qing Yuming said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Father, don't worry. I used a few years in the Earth's martial arts world to make a name for myself as the Sword Saint. In that world, I'm also known as the Sword Venerable, the Supreme of the Sword Dao. In that world, there are only a few people who can threaten me."
"That's good, that's good."
Qing Yuming said with a slight sigh of relief.
"Ding."
At this time, the elevator door also opened.
Across the corridor, Haitang, who knew that Tsing Hui was coming, pulled her daughter, Qing Yuxin, open the iron door outside and the solid wood door inside, and stood at the door to welcome him.
When he saw Qing Xu and Qing Yuming arrive, he went up to them with a smile and took the briefcase for Qing Yuming. At the same time, he said to Qing Xu apologetically and gratefully from the bottom of his heart, "Qing Xu, welcome home."
