"Everyone in the Heaven-Blasting Gang reaching the Celestial Venerable Realm!?"

The living room fell silent in an instant.

Everyone looked at one another, dazed, thinking they must have misheard.

Within twenty years?

Every single one of us a Celestial Venerable?!

This has to be a joke!

Based on the current standards of power on Earth Star.

A Star Martial Artist at the Celestial Venerable Realm wielded supreme power!

In terms of status alone, they could become a regional overlord and establish their own sect without any issue!

The cost to nurture just one was unimaginably high!

But now Qin Yang actually wanted all of them... to reach the Celestial Venerable Realm!?

"This..."

For a moment, Elder Li and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads, not quite daring to make such a promise to Qin Yang.

"Young Master, I’m afraid that’s impossi—"

Liu Wushuang opened his mouth to object, but after a glance at Qin Yang’s expression, he changed his tune. "Ascending to the Celestial Venerable realm within twenty years has its difficulties. After all, everyone’s constitution is different."

"Impossible?"

Qin Yang didn’t react much, simply offering a calm smile. "We have to at least try."

His words hung in the air.

’As expected of the Young Master...’

Hearing this, Liu Wushuang scratched the back of his head and exchanged glances with the others. He still felt apprehensive, but he declared, "Then we’ll give it our all to achieve your grand vision!"

"Wait, you guys don’t think I’m just all talk, do you?"

Seeing their expressions, Qin Yang said with a sigh of resignation,

"I’m completely serious."

Qin Yang had long had his own designs for this plan to have everyone advance to the Celestial Venerable realm.

His battle with the Beast God a few days prior had given him an accurate measure of his strength. It wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the Peak of the Celestial Venerable Realm.

At that point, he would have essentially reached the ceiling of power on Earth Star.

Admittedly, the conditions on Earth Star made it impossible to break through to the higher Divine Venerable Realm.

But...

Qin Yang had no intention of stopping there!

After all, the situation in the Upper Realm was still an unknown, and the passage remained unstable.

Those experts from the Alien Star possessed heaven-defying abilities and could potentially open the passage from the other side at any time.

There was no telling when they might open a new black hole.

’On the day that passage opens, if I’m completely unprepared...’

’...won’t I be totally screwed?’

’Better safe than sorry!’

Qin Yang thought to himself,

’To advance further and step into the Divine Venerable Realm, I have to focus my efforts on this Otherworld passage.’

But doing so had both advantages and disadvantages; it would inevitably bring many unforeseeable risks.

Those powerful experts from the Otherworld were one such challenge.

’If I open the passage and draw the attention of the Upper Realm, the protection of the Star Array alone won’t be enough...’

At this thought, Qin Yang looked solemnly at Elder Li and the others and said with sincerity, "I need everyone’s strength. We must all advance together."

"With me making the plans for all of you, even someone with a poor constitution will have a shot at the Celestial Venerable Realm... Anything is possible!"

His words seemed to strike a chord with everyone present.

"Well said, Young Master!"

"I may be old and frail, but I’d love to see the view from the Celestial Venerable Realm myself."

"The Heaven-Blasting Gang is destined to be the number one sect in the world!"

"Don’t you worry, Senior Brother, I’ll give it my all!"

Everyone nodded, their enthusiasm instantly ignited!

A moment later, Xiaobai brought hot dishes to the table. Everyone ate the warm meal and continued to discuss the plan for the entire gang’s mass advancement.

After the meal, everyone went their separate ways.

Watching their excited expressions as they left, Qin Yang figured the matter was settled.

’The more experts the Heaven-Blasting Gang has, the more terrifying the power of the Star Array will become.’

’By then, with my strength at the Peak of the Celestial Venerable realm, combined with the Star Array, I might be able to reach the Divine Venerable Realm and gain a solid ability to protect myself.’

「After everyone had left.」

Only Liu Wushuang remained, showing no intention of leaving.

"Elder Wushuang, why haven’t you left yet?"

Qin Yang glanced at him, flopped back onto the sofa, and yawned.

"Is there something else?"

"Heh heh, you worry too much, Young Master... Actually, I was wondering if there was anything I could do for the Heaven-Blasting Gang."

Liu Wushuang scratched his head and slowly approached Qin Yang, rubbing his hands together a bit sheepishly as he smiled. "I’ve just been idle these past few days!

Don’t be shy, Young Master. Just tell me what to do!"

"Tsk, you’re really eager to contribute."

Qin Yang chuckled in spite of himself, but still nodded.

"Alright. I happen to have something for you to do."

"What is it?"

Liu Wushuang’s expression turned solemn. "I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

"Mm, it’s about publicity..."

With a flick of his wrist, Qin Yang’s Star Ring flashed with light.

The next moment.

Stack after stack of ancient books and scriptures appeared before Liu Wushuang, a vast and dazzling collection that made his eyes widen.

"This is..."

As his gaze fell upon the books, Liu Wushuang jumped in shock.

Familiar titles leaped into his view one after another.

Instantly stirring his memories!

Hongqiao Visualization Spell, Nine Thunder Blades of Gang, Wangchuan Palm...

The familiar titles filled his vision. Once upon a time, these were techniques that could only be obtained as rewards for missions within the Venerable Alliance.

But now, they were just casually piled on the table.

Stacked up as if they were common novels!

"You recognize them, right? The Secret Scriptures of the Venerable Alliance and the Beast God Sect."

Unsurprised by Liu Wushuang’s reaction, Qin Yang let out a lazy yawn and spoke slowly.

"I’ve already checked them. There’s nothing wrong with the content; they’re all legitimate Cultivation Methods.

Elder Wushuang, I need you to have the Commander make copies of these. Share whatever can be uploaded to the internet, and for those that can’t, place them in the Jianghai Library to be shared, free of charge, with all the Star Martial Artists in the nation."

"Free to borrow?"

Liu Wushuang was stunned again. He swallowed hard, GULP, and reached out to stroke one of the Secret Scriptures. "You’re imparting these cultivation techniques directly to the masses?"

"Yes."

Qin Yang’s thoughts were steady. He turned to gaze at the Celestial Vault Black Hole outside the window, his expression grave. "The future is precarious. The advancement of the Human Race is the grand plan!"

...

...

「Half an hour later.」

Jianghai City issued a public notice.

[The Jianghai Library has added new books! All are welcome to come and borrow!]

It attracted the attention of countless netizens the moment it was posted.

Along with the notice were numerous digital copies.

As soon as they were released, a curious netizen clicked on one and was instantly shocked by the contents.

[Holy shit? An Innate Technique?!]

[There’s more! It looks like there are even techniques for Grandmaster Venerables!]

[Look at the announcement! It’s a gift from the Heaven-Blasting Gang! Fucking awesome!]

[Aren’t they a little too loaded?]

[This means everyone will have a technique to cultivate!]

[The cultivation monopoly has been broken! From now on, more and more experts will emerge!]

[The True Dragon Martial God has single-handedly ushered in a golden age of Martial Arts!]

In an instant, Earth Star entered a new martial era.

A tremendous, roaring craze for martial arts had only just begun!
