Chapter 995: The Dao Ancestor Has a Successor (2)

A few hours later, Professor Cai Kang came to Feng Jiwen’s office with a file. Feng Jiwen had clearly been waiting for a long time. The moment he saw Cai Kang, Feng Jiwen asked nervously, “Professor Cai, how is it? Can the ion detector analyze the debris data?”
Upon hearing this, Cai Kang quickly smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Chief. The ion detector completed the mission successfully as we expected.” He handed the document bag in his hand to Feng Jiwen. “Sir, this document contains detailed data on our current analysis of the wreckage. From the data we have gathered so far, the technology of the alien civilization has been developing for more than 800 years.
“In other words, if we want to win in technology, unless the alien civilization no longer undergoes any technological reforms from now on, and we don’t sleep or rest, it will be possible to surpass the alien civilization in technology 800 years later.”
Feng Jiwen was not surprised by this conclusion and nodded. “From the previous few exchanges, I’ve already roughly guessed the gap between us and the alien civilization. From the looks of it, once the war breaks out, we can only rely on the cultivators. The Dao Ancestor had a huge responsibility. We had no choice but to bet all our money on the Dao Ancestor and all the cultivators. The future of Earth is still not very clear.”
Cai Kang also nodded solemnly. “That’s right. We’re naming the unknown substance found in the remains of the alien’s mechanical body Substance X. This substance does not exist on Earth, and its strength far exceeds any known matter on Earth. From this, it can be seen that the alien civilization should be outside our known galaxy.
“We can’t know what the aliens’ main bodies look like for the time being, but they should have already undergone a large-scale mechanical body reform and molded many mechanical armies formed by mechanical divine regions.
“The strength of this substance was even enough to be safe in a nuclear explosion. Moreover, this substance could still absorb energy. The upper limit was unknown for the time being. It means that in the face of war, we cannot use the most powerful nuclear weapons. Firstly, this will not cause any harm to the alien civilization. Secondly, it might even become a source of power for them to absorb.”
Cai Kang’s words made Feng Jiwen’s expression turn solemn. “Doesn’t that mean that all our weapons will be useless to alien civilizations? What about the cultivators? Can their power destroy this substance?”
“Sir, we extracted energy called supernatural power and carried out an extremely large-scale calculation. What was surprising was that the energy of supernatural power far exceeded our calculation limits. Even after our technological innovation, we still could not accurately evaluate this power.
“However, we tried to find a cultivator to inject supernatural power into the alien wreckage. The result was that supernatural power could easily penetrate this hard substance and destroy it from the inside.”
When Feng Jiwen heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he nodded with some emotion. “It’s all thanks to the Dao Ancestor for opening up the path of cultivation back then. Otherwise, all the living beings on Earth might have died without a burial place in this crisis. Even so, the technological advancement on Earth could not stop.
“We have to live on. We have to have confidence in the Dao Ancestor and all the cultivators. They will definitely be able to help Earth survive this crisis. Only by developing the technology level of Earth can we prevent the invasion of the invaders in the universe. Our understanding of the universe is too one-sided. To the universe, Earth is just a child waiting to be fed.”
Cai Kang also nodded seriously and left Feng Jiwen’s office. Feng Jiwen was standing by the window with his hands behind his back. He looked at the sun hanging by the distant sky with a solemn expression. “Dao Ancestor, the future of Earth depends on you alone.”
Unknowingly, Su Yun seemed to have sensed Feng Jiwen’s words. He slowly opened his eyes in his mental world. He finally sorted out two higher realms after the sixth realm.
The seventh realm above the Tribulation Transcendence realm was called the Arrival Realm. It meant that after the physical body was baptized in the Tribulation Transcendence, the cultivator would reach an existence that surpassed conventional understanding.
Cultivators who had reached the seventh realm could rely on their bodies to survive in a vacuum environment without being affected.
In fact, even if his body was completely destroyed, as long as his soul was not destroyed, he could not be defined as dead. For a cultivator who had reached the seventh realm to be able to remain unscathed under large-scale firepower, one could imagine how strong he was.
The eighth realm was an even more shocking existence.
The eighth realm was called Law Release. Cultivators who had stepped into the supernatural realm were no longer just related to the absorption of supernatural power. Instead, they were existences above supernatural power.
Cultivators who had reached the transcendent realm would form a transcendent land in their bodies. This allowed cultivators to freely use supernatural power even in places without it. That would be an existence that could understand the laws of the universe. To exaggerate a little, cultivators of this realm could melt in all things in the world and wander outside. Under the nomological laws, all things were born. Above the nomological laws, the world practiced.
Of course, it was not easy to reach such a realm. Even for the current Su Yun, this was still a very distant goal. At least this was a clear enough cultivation direction. It would not stop all cultivators from advancing after reaching the sixth realm.
Su Yun needed more time to summarize the higher existences after the eighth realm, but that required him to settle down. Therefore, in the mental world, Su Yun slowly stood up and finally prepared to come out of seclusion.
…
In the villa built at the back of the Tianding Dojo, Xu Jiajia and the others had no choice but to wear maternity clothes to cover their bulging stomachs. The four of them sat on recliners in the courtyard and basked in the sun. Just looking at this place gave them a peaceful feeling.
“Sisters, I’m a little afraid. I heard that it will be very painful when you give birth!”
Lü Hongya, who was the youngest, felt a little uneasy. Xu Jiajia smiled gently and said, “Of course it hurts, but you don’t have to worry. We’ll be with you when the time comes.”
“According to the month, Sister Chen should be the first person to have a child. Aren’t you worried?”
Lü Hongya looked at Chen Jie curiously. Chen Jie thought for a moment and said helplessly, “It would be a lie to say that I’m not worried, but I’m actually already prepared. I just hope that before that, Su Yun can come out of seclusion. This will make me feel more at ease.”
The others nodded. This was also what they were thinking. Su Yun still showed no signs of coming out of seclusion. They were very sensitive during their pregnancy, so they naturally missed Su Yun more and more.
On the other hand, Xu Jiajia said firmly, “I believe that we will definitely be able to see Su Yun before that. He will be holding our hands. It’s just that because he has a heavy responsibility, some things are out of his control.”
Xu Jiajia was still the same as before. She could always understand Su Yun’s situation and his thoughts. She also had a tacit understanding with Su Yun. Beside her, Zhou Xiaoxiao touched her stomach and said with a longing expression, “I really don’t know what our child will be like when he’s born. I keep feeling that I’m not ready, but I’m about to become a mother. Our children are born with heavy responsibilities. Sometimes, my heart aches for them.”
“The future of Earth now is in Su Yun’s hands, but the future of Earth will be in these children’s hands,” Chen Jie sighed with emotion. “Some things are not something we can change. They are the children of the Dao Ancestor. They were born extraordinary!”
Just as they were discussing, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the villa. Then, they heard the excited voice of the soldier.
“Dao Ancestor has come out of seclusion!”
