Infinite Professions

Chapter 462: Chapter 237: Hidden Dragon

Sailing, after the initial novelty and excitement, quickly becomes monotonous and tedious; space travel is no exception.

Fortunately, Shen Hex is kept busy, not only managing the development of the Taiyuan Divine Dao’s two realms but also researching the cultivation of Immortal Martial Divine Spirit’s Three Methods, occasionally making time to gather with Teng Qinglong and others to discuss matters of the Xingyi Martial Mansion or to guide Shen Qingyue and Zhong Qin in their cultivation.

Additionally, he wishes to experience the "spatial jump" capability of the Divine Martial Battleship, but unfortunately, as a special recruit freshman, he remains aboard the Xingyi Martial Mansion’s reception ship, unable to disembark to interact with the Divine Martial Battleship.

This leaves him with a small sense of regret.

Witnessing the vastness of heaven and earth, realizing one’s own insignificance.

If he could deeply explore and observe the Divine Martial Battleship’s various aspects, Shen Hex believes it would greatly benefit his cultivation in numerous ways.

Unfortunately...

Thus, a month hurriedly passes by.

In the cabin, Shen Hex sits cross-legged, suddenly opens his eyes, and promptly stands up to leave.

Upon stepping outside, he sees many cabins opening and numerous people emerging.

Teng Qinglong is among them, approaching Shen Hex with a smile, "Did you feel it?"

"Yes!"

Shen Hex nods slightly, "This Divine Martial Star Realm is indeed extraordinary."

"Of course!"

Teng Qinglong laughs, "Martial Dao is one of the Empire’s mainstream cultivation systems. As a result, the Martial Realm within the Imperial Star Realm is top-notch, not only gathering cosmic primordial power through various means to make the environment of planets within more suitable for Martial Dao cultivation but also with various professional effects enhancing the atmosphere."

"Therefore, upon entering the Martial Realm, the speed of Martial Dao cultivation will increase to a degree; even those of us who are Tier Six martial artists, along with the little ones in Fourth Realm and Fifth Realm, can keenly perceive changes in the external environment and in their blood and Qi."

"And this is just the outskirts of the Martial Realm. In the cosmic starry sky, reaching the planets where major academies are located will make the professional effects and primordial Qi enhancement even more apparent since these academies have ultimate professionals of Martial Dao whose powers deeply influence their hosting planets."

Teng Qinglong speaks eloquently, revealing another secret of profession.

Profession!

As a core force of the Human Empire, it has already permeated various aspects.

Especially some leader-type, dominion-type professions, their professional power radiating extensively, influencing not only combat and cultivation but also clothing, food, shelter, and transport.

Shen Hex experiences this profoundly because he too has initiated several professions of this type: the Spirit Control Martial Monarch of the Spirit Control Realm, the Daoist Palace Master of the Taiyuan World, and the now fused achievements of Ziwei Star and Star of All Things. These are all leader-type dominion-type professions, their professional powers influencing all facets.

This is true for him, and no less for others; like the Divine Martial Star Realm, whose Star Realm Master is one of the Empire’s supreme powers, the Divine Martial Emperor, along with the Daoist Venerable of the Dao Realm, the Buddha of the Buddha Realm, and the Emperor of the Solar Galaxy, all Tier Fifteen existences, standing at the pinnacle of Martial Dao and profession.

There are even historical rumors saying that he once competed against the Emperor for supremacy, though ultimately defeated by the Emperor’s hand, yet retained the title of "Emperor" and governs the Martial Realm.

The entire Divine Martial Star Realm is under his control, all receiving the enhancement of the [Divine Martial Emperor]’s professional power.

Of course, this Divine Martial Emperor is just speculation from the outside world; in truth, what profession this Emperor truly has and what specific effects it brings are unknown to outsiders.

The Martial Realm is thus, as are the Dao Realm and Buddha Realm, along with the Empire’s core Solar Galaxy. Outsiders can scarcely know the professional information and specific effects of these supreme existences, ultimate powerhouses.

The only certainty is that they are the peak in their domains, greatest in strength, with professional power greatly enhancing and influencing Martial Dao, Immortal Dao, Buddhist Dao, while cultivators in their rule provide reciprocal benefits, achieving together.

This defines the ultimate professional in the Empire, ruling a star realm or even the entire empire!

"Practice martial arts in the Martial Realm, cultivate immortality in the Dao Realm."

"Every specialty has its focus, emphasizing different aspects."

"The highest academy in the Martial Realm is the Divine Martial Celestial Palace, founded by the Divine Martial Emperor, a holy land craved by martial artists."

"Though we at the Xingyi Martial Mansion cannot compare to the Divine Martial Celestial Palace, we are also a leading academy within the Martial Realm, with various resources and professional enhancements greatly aiding in the cultivation of Xingyi Martial Arts."

"This is why we seniors strive desperately to remain in the Martial Realm, in the academy, since the Yunlan Star, a distant star realm still in development, lacks sufficient resources and professional enhancements, making cultivation arduous."

"..."

Teng Qinglong speaks enthusiastically, Shen Hex listens silently.

At this time, a broadcast rings, echoing through the ship.

"We have arrived at the Divine Martial Star Realm; next, the ship will detach from the Divine Martial Battleship and head towards the Xingyi Martial Mansion!"

With the broadcast, the ship slowly activates, then sweeps outwards into a vast cosmic space.

The Divine Martial Battleship reaches only the Martial Realm, not to one’s doorstep; the remaining journey is for each academy’s ship to undertake alone.

Shen Hex stands by the window, gazing at the vast cosmos, remaining silent for a long time, seemingly immersed in this majestic view.

In such a manner, not knowing how much time passes, he finally sees an extraordinary scene.

Is that... a star cluster?

A dazzling star cluster, primarily composed of twelve large primary stars, surrounded by over a hundred auxiliary stars, forming a splendid star cluster.
