Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

It is precisely because these cosmic nations prioritize cultivation over technology that the overall level of cosmic civilization is very low.

Low technology means low productivity and low efficiency.

This would lead to extremely high prices for goods.

After all, in the atomic age, to mine even a pound of Crimson Universe Gold, one would have to hollow out an entire planet, taking hundreds of thousands of years.

Given such a high price, it's understandable that a pound of Crimson Universe Gold is worth several million Black Dragon Coins.

Having abandoned his mining business on Venus, Luo Yan left Venus.

He came to Mercury.

Although Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, its temperature is actually lower than that of Venus.

Mercury has a thin atmosphere and extreme temperature differences, so a type of D-grade ore called fire ice copper also exists there. However, its production is extremely limited and its mining value is not high.

After excavating a pound of Fire Ice Copper, Luo Yan explored other gas giants in the solar system. These gas giants were even less valuable, with almost no rare treasures to be found.

After exploring all eight planets, Luo Yan had already spent three days.

At this time, the Destroyer ships on Mars had been built another 1,200.

This quantity was still too small, so Luo Yan had no choice but to add several more nanofactories to speed up the production of spaceships.

Luo Yan then returned to Earth and patiently waited for the spaceship to be completed.

……

On Earth, Luo Yan activated the stealth mode of the mechanical race's spaceship, hovered it over the Yangzhou base city, and then flew back to his home alone.

Thanks to Luo Yan becoming the speaker, their family has undergone tremendous changes.

The Luo family has now moved out of the villa complex and into the prime real estate of the West Lake residential area.

This West Lake residential area used to be the territory of the twelve families, but now they have all been driven out and Speaker Luo Yan's family has moved in.

The huge residential area, covering several kilometers, was inhabited only by their family, making it seem very quiet and desolate.

Without the pressures of life, the parents have been living a leisurely and relaxed life. Gong Xinlan is watching TV dramas, and Luo Hongguo is playing virtual games.

However, Luo Feng and Luo Hua have not yet been corrupted by this affluent lifestyle.

Luo Hua's legs have been healed. After Luo Yan joined the War God Palace, he contacted the United States and purchased a bottle of Water of Life at the original price, which cured Luo Hua.

Luo Hua is no longer self-conscious. Having regained his confidence in life, he has also set a goal for himself: to make money by investing in stocks.

As for Luo Feng, he did not give up his dream of becoming a martial artist and continued to cultivate in the gravity chamber.

Luo Yan became the speaker, and many people fawned over him. However, since Luo Yan was often away from home, they turned their attention to currying favor with Luo Yan's family.

This gravity chamber was a gift to Luo Feng from a high-ranking member of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

Relying on the pressure of the gravity chamber and his unwillingness to catch up with Luo Yan, Luo Feng successfully broke through the golden sphere in his sea of ​​consciousness a few days ago and awakened his mental power.

Luo Feng is a celebrity now, and the fact that he awakened his mental powers after falling into a coma can't be kept secret from those higher-ups.

Upon learning that even Luo Feng possessed such exceptional martial arts talent, the higher-ups became even more willing to invest in the Luo family.

Both the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy offered Luo Feng astronomical contracts, even higher than those offered by Luo Yan at the time, in an attempt to recruit him.

Because he didn't know his elder brother's attitude towards the four major powers, or which one he was close to, Luo Feng hadn't agreed to any of them yet.

Luo Yan slowly descended from the sky onto the shore of West Lake.

Luo Feng, who was sitting cross-legged by the lake, practicing guiding techniques and absorbing cosmic energy, twitched his brow slightly and sensed Luo Yan with his spiritual power.

Luo Feng opened his eyes, exited his cultivation state, and said with delight, "Big brother, you're back! Where have you been these past few days? I asked around in the military, and they said you disappeared after entering the Bermuda Triangle ruins..."

There was worry in Luo Feng's eyes. Everything the Luo family had now came from Luo Yan. If something happened to Luo Yan, he really couldn't imagine what his family would suffer.

Luo Yan patted Luo Feng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm just going to the ruins to find the spaceship."

"Spaceship! Dude, there are aliens in this world?"

Luo Feng has only just entered the martial arts world and has not yet reached the level of a War God, so he naturally does not know that there are many alien ruins on Earth and many civilizations in the universe.

Let alone Luo Feng, many mid-level officials in various countries are unaware of the existence of aliens and extraterrestrial ruins.

"Of course, the world is vast, and there are far more alien civilizations than we can imagine."

Luo Yan immediately told Luo Feng about the existence of the Silver Blue Empire, the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and the Ganwu Universe Kingdom.

Upon hearing that the Milky Way galaxy, including Earth and seven other galaxies—a total of eight galaxies spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years—was ruled by a single silver-blue empire, Luo Feng was utterly dumbfounded.

He was even more excited and curious to learn that there were 210,000 planets with life in the tiny Milky Way galaxy.

"However, the universe is vast, but it is also incredibly cruel. All the myriad races and trillions of civilizations in the universe are fond of fighting and are barbaric and ruthless."

The strong enslave the weak, wantonly trampling on their homes, turning all life on the planet into slaves, for thousands, tens of thousands, millions of years, generation after generation enslaved, men reduced to pigs and dogs, women to playthings, never to rise again…

Luo Yan was about to embark on a space adventure, and he feared that giving Luo Feng a comfortable life now would cause him to lose his ambition. Therefore, he informed Luo Feng in advance of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the universe, hoping that he would not slack off in his cultivation.

After hearing Luo Yan's description of the universe's civilization, Luo Feng was deeply moved and filled with emotion.

"Indeed, only by becoming strong can one earn respect. The law of the jungle applies even to cosmic civilizations."

Chapter 108 Teaching Luo Feng

The two brothers stood by West Lake and chatted.

After lamenting the cruelty of the universe, Luo Feng was touched, but he did not develop the idea of ​​cultivating diligently for the future of humanity.

From what position do we consider what issues?

Luo Feng has only just become a martial artist; it's too far too late for him to consider the future of humanity.

It would be more appropriate for him to fight for the future of humanity once he becomes a planetary-level martial artist and stands at the pinnacle of Earth's power.

Luo Feng's current thought is to protect his family and the family members who have finally become wealthy.

"Brother, let's not talk about things in the universe. How long are you going to stay at home this time? I have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you."

“Cultivation?” Luo Yan asked with a strange expression.

His strength was almost entirely due to scientific and technological advancements; he had hardly ever engaged in proper cultivation. How could he be qualified to teach Luo Feng how to cultivate?

"Yes, brother, didn't you sell a lot of secret manuals on the platforms of the four major powers?"

I've also read those manuals, and then I chose the Lingbo Weibu movement technique to practice. However, this technique is too difficult; I haven't even grasped the basics after several days, and I only have a vague understanding of the manuals.

Upon hearing that the question concerned the cultivation of secret techniques, Luo Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

With Luo Yan's classical Chinese skills and literary cultivation as a foundation in the martial arts world, he is qualified to give Luo Feng some guidance.

"It's normal not to understand. This Lingbo Weibu is derived from the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching. To learn this skill, you need a profound foundation in the I Ching."

"The Book of Changes? Could it be a classic text from before the Great Nirvana?" Luo Feng frowned.

During the Great Nirvana, humanity lost countless books and documents, and countless cultural masters and scholars perished.

After the Great Nirvana, resources became extremely scarce, and it was no longer possible to make a living through cultural studies. As a result, few people in society now study the literary classics from before the Great Nirvana, and naturally, fewer and fewer people have a deep understanding of the I Ching.

Without the guidance of a master of classical studies, it would be strange if one could even get started by simply reading the vernacular version of the Book of Changes and then attempting to practice the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

“That’s right. To master the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), one must have a profound understanding of the I Ching,” Luo Yan replied.

"Brother, do you understand the I Ching?" Luo Feng asked.

Luo Yan nodded: "I know a little bit."

Luo Yan, from the world of martial arts, was born into an official family. He was well-read and even participated in the imperial examination. Although he did not pass, he was still a cultured man.

After gaining his memories, Luo Yan from the Swallowed Star World was no longer a novice when it came to the I Ching.

He then sat down with Luo Feng on the lawn by West Lake, dictating the I Ching to Luo Feng and explaining his confusion.

"...Lingbo Weirou, the essence of this skill is all contained in sixteen characters."

Luo Feng quickly asked, "Which sixteen characters?"

"Its movements are unpredictable, sometimes dangerous, sometimes safe; its advances and retreats are uncertain; it is as if it is going and sometimes returning."

"In plain terms, it means that there is no pattern to its movements, it is like a crisis and a peace, it is difficult to predict its advance or retreat, it is like leaving and returning."

"Take a good look at these sixteen words, and once you grasp their true meaning, your movement technique will reach the realm of intent..."

Luo Feng listened attentively, pondering the meaning, and occasionally shared his doubts with Luo Yan.

Luo Yan patiently answered all their questions.

The "Lingbo Weibu" (a martial arts technique) involves the I Ching and is difficult to understand.

However, Luo Feng learned quite a lot from Luo Yan's clear and concise explanations.

The knowledge of the I Ching he learned today laid a solid foundation for him, making it easier for Luo Feng to comprehend the fundamental laws of the universe later on.

……

This instruction lasted for an entire afternoon.

Luo Feng listened intently, and Luo Yan spoke with great enthusiasm. Neither of them felt tired, and they continued their discussion until the next morning.

"Alright, we've been discussing philosophy all night, and I haven't even greeted my parents yet! Let's go inside together!"

"Thank you for your guidance, brother!" Luo Feng said gratefully.

Luo Yan slapped Luo Feng on the back: "We're brothers. Your older brother is just giving you some pointers. Why are you thanking me? Don't be so formal!"

Luo Feng scratched his head and chuckled.

The two walked into the house together. On the way, Luo Feng asked again, "Brother, you haven't answered my question yet. How long do you plan to stay at home this time?"

Luo Yan sighed, "About eight or nine days. It won't be long before I go on an adventure in space."

Luo Feng was shocked: "You're leaving again so soon?"

Luo Yan nodded: "Yes, Earth is always facing dangers in the universe. I hope to enter the universe as soon as possible, improve my strength, and protect Earth, and also protect you."

In the original story, the Golden Horned Beast and the Norlhan family posed no real threat to Earth.

Luo Yan didn't care about them.

Because neither of these two is of any importance in the face of the forces that Luo Yan is about to face.

Luo Yan needs to develop technology and requires vast resources. He assembled a large fleet to enter space. Is he trying to make a fortune by selling spaceships?
