Chapter 582: Chapter 582: No Plan
"You’re back." Lu Ke caught a whiff of Xu Yi’s scent and asked gently.
"Yeah." Xu Yi smiled and nodded, feeling as if he had just stepped out the door this morning.
The others were still cultivating and hadn’t noticed Xu Yi’s return.
"Have you reached level 6?" Lu Ke asked curiously.
"Yeah, I just made the breakthrough ten minutes ago," Xu Yi answered truthfully.
Lu Ke’s eyes lit up; she had sensed a powerful energy ten minutes ago. So that was the surge when Xu Yi broke through!
Then, Lightning and Black Qilin dashed toward Xu Yi, clinging to his legs on either side.
"Black Qilin?" Xu Yi was a bit taken aback. How did Black Qilin end up here?
Despite some changes in Black Qilin’s appearance, Xu Yi still recognized it instantly. After all, they had spent so much time together.
The others heard Xu Yi’s voice and all stood up.
"It teamed up with those who were eliminated and came to Camp One. Coincidentally, Bai Yu arrived at Camp One that day, so it returned with Bai Yu. It also subdued some Fierce Beasts and had them transport supplies and people to the camp. Truly impressive," Wang Jin explained.
After hearing Wang Jin’s explanation, Xu Yi couldn’t help but pat Black Qilin’s head.
This guy is indeed impressive to have made it all the way here.
"You’ve endured quite a bit, but it’s all worth it. You’re a level 5 Fierce Beast now," Xu Yi said happily. Now they wouldn’t need to change to a new challenge point, and Black Qilin could comfortably keep up.
Fierce Beasts above level 5 can fly using telekinesis. Their speed may not compare to Lightning’s, but on the ground, Black Qilin wouldn’t fall behind much.
Moreover, Black Qilin is smarter than Lightning, making it more suitable for completing tasks.
In terms of endurance, it surpasses Lightning too.
Thus, it would be more beneficial to Xu Yi.
Black Qilin nuzzled Xu Yi with its head, then flashed a wide grin.
Fierce Beasts can smile too.
Xu Yi took out the corpse of a level 6 Fierce Beast and gave some to Lightning, Black Qilin, and Bai Yu.
As soon as Black Qilin caught the scent, it bit down, ripping off a piece to eat. Only after that did Lightning and Bai Yu dare to approach.
"Xu Yi, have you already reached level 6?" Qin Fan asked, somewhat skeptical as he didn’t sense any level 6 aura from Xu Yi. But since Xu Yi often restrained his energy, Qin Fan was unsure.
Xu Yi nodded, saying, "Yeah, I just broke through a bit over ten minutes ago. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly; I thought it would take longer."
Upon hearing Xu Yi’s words, everyone felt a bit like banging their heads against the wall.
Why doesn’t such good luck ever happen to me?
Wang Jin circled around Xu Yi and asked curiously, "Xu Yi, what does level 6 feel like?"
Xu Yi stroked his chin and laughed, "It feels overwhelming, like you’re invincible. But the moment you encounter someone stronger, you shrink back immediately. It’s because this stage offers some insight into the essence of power, but it’s not enough to fully understand it."
"Idol, does anyone who reaches level 6 feel this way, or is it only Divine Masters?" Qin Chao asked curiously after hearing Xu Yi’s response.
Xu Yi glanced at Qin Chao and said, "From what I’ve observed with those Fierce Beasts I’ve killed, this is probably a common state beyond level 6."
"I wish I could feel overwhelmed too," Zhou Mo said enviously.
Truth be told, since childhood, he’d never felt that sense of overconfidence. He’d always been cautious and careful.
Everyone wants to break through to level 6.
After chatting for a while, Lu Ke and Wang Jin went to stew some soup.
Meat from a level 6 Fierce Beast offers them significant benefits.
"Xu Yi, do you have any plans next?" Qin Fan walked up to Xu Yi and asked.
Though they no longer needed to change to a new challenge location, hunting down ten level 8 Fierce Beasts within 500 days would still be difficult according to Qin Fan.
Even for Xu Yi, it wasn’t an easy task.
Therefore, Qin Fan wanted to know Xu Yi’s upcoming plans.
"Plans?"
"No plans. Just focus on cultivating. As my strength grows, I’ll see where it takes me," Xu Yi said, spreading his hands, indicating without sufficient strength, no plan would be effective.
Once strength is sufficient, and the task is completed ahead of time, making plans will have a point.
Xu Yi’s laid-back approach left Qin Fan a bit helpless.
Then Qin Fan switched topics, asking, "Is something happening with the Spirit Race?"
Xu Yi nodded; the Spirit Race had announced something, piquing everyone’s curiosity and leading them to wonder why the rules had suddenly changed.
"Yes, the Spirit Race discovered Planet No. 3, where a spiritual civilization exists, capable of destroying the current Spirit Race with ease." Spirit God had said this in front of an audience, so Xu Yi felt no need to conceal it.
Upon hearing this, Qin Fan’s face changed dramatically.
"Can humans still come to this planet?" Qin Fan glanced at the sky, wondering if such a powerful civilization wouldn’t have interest in Spirit Blue Star or Planet No. 1.
These two planets should have resources that Planet No. 3 would need, right?
Human technology ranks low in the cosmos, yet they still hope to develop resources from neighboring planets, dreaming of planetary colonization.
Now, would civilization stronger than the Spirit Race lack interest in resources from other planets?
Is that possible?
Once population and technology reach a certain level, resources from the home planet become insufficient, causing them to eye other planets.
Otherwise, development stagnates.
Solar energy might be incredibly clean, but relying solely on solar energy doesn’t suffice for development.
"Those who wish to come can still come. Living here and on our own planet is entirely different. Additionally, the specifics of that civilization remain unknown. Of course, there’s no rush; we still have over two hundred days. By then, there should be a resolution," Xu Yi believed overthinking carried no merit; they needed to focus on the 500-day challenge for now.
If this can’t be achieved, then considering anything else was pointless.
Xu Yi refused to believe humanity wouldn’t have B and C plans etc.
However, with only a bit over two hundred days remaining till the 500-day mark, any plans would wait for the 500-day results before being decided.
Qin Fan had indeed no need to overthink.
After hearing Xu Yi’s response, Qin Fan initially stood frozen before nodding and saying, "Indeed, I’ve overthought it. I should focus on how to hit level 6 instead."
Xu Yi patted Qin Fan’s shoulder, saying, "Don’t burden yourself with too much pressure. You’ve already done well and tried hard enough. Cultivating, avoid excess psychological pressure."
Qin Fan immediately nodded, completely certain now that Xu Yi knew humanity’s sun was about to explode. It was understood that he was aware of the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that.
But could he not worry?
His family awaited rescue, as did his friends and comrades.
Anyway, Qin Fan couldn’t manage to be as calm as Xu Yi.
No matter the case, humanity couldn’t afford to miss the Spirit Blue Star opportunity.
