Chapter 754: I Am the Best in the World

Ying Continent

After Li Qing returned to the Ying Continent, she got very angry and smashed everything in her room to pieces. Hearing this, Zheng Yi and two Elders rushed over immediately.

Before entering Li Qing’s cave, the three exchanged glances and nodded to each other, as they probably guessed what was going on.

"Master"

The three entered Li Qing’s cave and bowed to her, at which point Li Qing collected herself.

"What is the matter?"

"Why is the Master angry?"

"Damn Lin Jiang and Cao Ying, they have humiliated our leader."

"Leader, this…"

"Zheng Yi, what do you think about exposing Lin Jiang’s conspiracy to ally with the demon race?"

"Leader, that is absolutely not possible."

"Why not? They have always used the demon race to control us."

"Leader, listen to me. First, Huaxia has made great contributions in fighting the demon race; this is an undeniable fact. If spiritual energy had not recovered to this point, without Huaxia standing strong, the demon race would have already defeated the human race and enslaved us. Without solid evidence, they just need to deny it, and that is the truth. Secondly, even if there is solid evidence, what of it? Huaxia is the strongest; the strength of the human race is divided into ten levels, and Huaxia alone holds seven. We are helpless against them, and if we confront them, Ying Continent will be too passive."

"Since its development, Ying Continent still cannot balance out with Huaxia. In the high-tech field, Huaxia holds nine parts of strength. The gap in technology between us and Huaxia is not just twenty years; it is at least a hundred years. If Huaxia sanctions us, our economy will regress by decades…"

Zheng Yi quickly said, he understood this very clearly. Experts and scholars in Ying Continent have also stressed that the domestic production rate in the high-tech field is very low. Many key parts are completely imported from Huaxia. If they are sanctioned by Huaxia, the entire economy of Ying Continent could collapse.

"It’s outrageous, it’s outrageous! For three hundred years, we have been restrained by Huaxia. Now, after three hundred years, we are still held in check by them. I am not willing to accept this."

"Master, we are not willing to accept this either, but the truth is that we are indeed not as good as them. Huaxia has over a hundred awakened cultivators, while we have only a few. Huaxia’s technology is already more advanced, plus…"

"I don’t want to hear the reasons; I want to hear how we can win against them."

Li Qing shouted loudly, feeling a strong determination inside her. This determination was to prove that she was not inferior to Lin Jiang. She wanted to show that leaving Lin Jiang was the right choice, not a foolish one. Therefore, she aimed for Ying Continent to be stronger and richer than Huaxia.

"Master, to be honest, in terms of technology and economy, we cannot surpass Huaxia in the short term. I have said before, technology is not like other things; you can’t just invent a few items and expect to overtake them. The more basic the things are, the more skill is needed. Some items, like a screw, show technological strength, and in this way, we are far behind."

"So will we be forever limited to humans?"

"Of course not. Today, every major power is trying to catch up with Huaxia and wants to surpass them. Besides, competition between countries doesn’t require complete suppression; having a few areas to balance is enough. Most of the time, cooperation is still greater, just like the Five Nations of the Concord allied against the Three Countries Alliance back then. Many lives were lost, and in the end, they were not destroyed. Where cooperation is needed, cooperation happens."

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Cultivator, the population of Ying Continent has rapidly increased over the years and is now about eighty percent of Huaxia’s. With a similar population base, we can produce geniuses just like Huaxia. With each generation, we can compete with Huaxia."

"It’s been too long; I can’t wait any longer."

"Then let’s focus on high-end combat power; if the leader advances to the Transmigration Stage, even if we can’t match Huaxia, we will still have some influence."

"Transmigration Stage, Transmigration Stage, Cao Ying has not yet broken through, which is a very strange thing; there must be a secret I do not know."

Li Qing said directly; she was not foolish. Cao Ying used to be the strongest among the human race, so according to Li Qing’s calculations, Cao Ying should have already broken through to the Transmigration Stage by now, but she has not, which makes Li Qing feel puzzled.

"Leader, I do not know if there is a secret in this, but the Transmigration Stage is a very important strategic indicator. In terms of technology, we are too far from Huaxia. Their space weapons have a record of defeating the Demon Emperor, which means that Tao Achieving cannot match the space weapons; only the Transmigration Stage can."

"With the Transmigration Stage, we will have the confidence to confront Huaxia; otherwise, if they deploy their space weapons, we will be forced to take hits."

"You are not wrong."

Li Qing nodded. She knew about the Demon Emperor falling in space; her Tao Achieving was equivalent to the Demon Emperor, and in that regard, she did not have the advantage, but there was still hope with the Transmigration Stage.

"So, Leader, we can take multiple approaches; we will continue to train the new generation of cultivators. Our new generation already has cultivators at the Soul Changing Stage and will soon catch up. If the Leader breaks through to the Transmigration Stage, we will enter a new realm."

"I understand. Both elders should also speed up their cultivation. Any enjoyment is built on longevity; without longevity, everything you have will leave you. If you break through to Tao Achieving, I will feel at ease to enter seclusion."

"Yes, Master."

The two elders’ faces turned red; they were indeed ordinary people enjoying the pleasures that ordinary people should have. It would not be an exaggeration to say they were extravagant and indulgent, but Li Qing had simply not paid attention to it before.

"Zheng Yi, you have also reached Void Achieving. I will help you improve your skills further, but you need to pay more attention to the issues in Ying Continent. Remember, we should have everything that Huaxia has. We, the Wangxian Sect, will not lose to anyone."

"Yes, Master. I will find experts to plan the relevant strategies. We will catch up to Huaxia in every field."

Zheng Yi sighed; the Master still did not understand his meaning. It was incredibly difficult to surpass Huaxia in every way. The Ying Continent had inherent disadvantages and too few opportunities.

"Everyone may leave. This time, I acted carelessly and went to Huaxia to bring shame upon myself. I will learn from this lesson, and next time I see them, I will make them see me differently."

Li Qing nodded; her mood improved, and her anger was released. She understood that she had been a bit reckless this time and had gone to bring shame upon herself.

She would learn from this lesson and not recklessly go to Shen Continent again. She wanted Ying Continent to completely surpass Huaxia and teach Lin Jiang and Cao Ying a good lesson.

Penglai Continent, Wanghai City

In Lu Xuan’s secret base, Lu Xuan looked at Lu Xuan No.2 and No.3 in front of him, feeling very satisfied. Lu Xuan No.2 and No.3 were his clones.

Lu Xuan was a very calm and rational person. He knew that with the strength of Wanghai City, he could never catch up to Huaxia, and even countries like Ying Continent and Qingyun were beyond his reach.

After all, his territory only had a little over a million people, while Huaxia had nearly ten billion, and Ying Continent had billions. Population was an advantage, and he could not compete.

In terms of cultivation and foundation, he was even more outmatched. In short, he was falling behind in every way, so Lu Xuan could only find a different path, and his method was to use his special skills.

When he was in Ying Continent, he was a biologist, so over the years, he secretly cloned himself using his own genes. He successfully made dozens of clones, but most of them failed. Only two were very successful, called Lu Xuan No.2 and Lu Xuan No.3, while his original self was Lu Xuan No.1.

"Master"

Lu Xuan No.2 and Lu Xuan No.1 bowed to Lu Xuan. After the cloning, Lu Xuan immediately cast a bondage spell because he did not want his clones to take control.

"Very good, very good. The genes in you are a bit weaker than my original, but for others, you are still incredibly strong. Now your task is to practice and improve your cultivation, and then we’ll consider other things."

Lu Xuan said that now his clone only inherited his modified genes, and they were somewhat weaker, but the skills could not be inherited; they still needed to practice actively.

"Yes, Master."

"I have placed the training resources here. You are not allowed to go outside or see anyone."

Lu Xuan took out two storage bags and handed them to the two people. The cloning technology was not very advanced; countries like Huaxia had it long ago, but due to ethical issues, Huaxia had already banned it, and he had to avoid some troubles.

After giving his instructions, Lu Xuan walked out of his secret base and returned to his office.

"I can’t fully trust others, and I can’t completely trust the clones either, but I can use them. If I need to cause some trouble in the future, I can let the clone handle it, and I will have an escape plan."

Lu Xuan thought to himself; that was just his nature. He didn’t trust anyone, not even his loyal subordinates or his own clone.

"As for my true self, I should show more strength now. I have reached Void Achieving, and the next step is Tao Achieving. I wonder how the old cultivators will feel when they see I’ve caught up with their levels, hehe."

Lu Xuan sneered to himself; he had already broken through to Void Achieving, but he didn’t make it public and was hiding it carefully.

During the process of breaking through, he used some secret methods. He was very clear about his relationship with Huaxia. He could show that he was useful and loyal to them, but he absolutely could not show that he posed a threat. If he did, it could mean trouble was coming, so he needed to hide for a while longer.

However, Lu Xuan believed that this time would not be long. He would soon grow strong enough that no one could sanction him because he had found a shortcut to his training.
