MTLNOVEL Chapter 116
Chapter 116: The Strongest Humanity: Base No. 1!
As a member of the Wu family, how could he possibly not recognize the Wu family’s pride and famed technique—the Thousand Miles to the West Technique?
Back in the day, the Wu family’s Martial God Ancestor had relied on this very technique to gain widespread fame and prestige… and even managed to secure a place on humanity’s Martial God Earth Rankings, reaching as high as 83rd place!
When Thousand Miles to the West Technique is activated, its most distinctive feature is a faint purple aura surrounding the user.
Wu Honghe had once heard the ancestor jokingly describe this purple aura, saying it represented ‘Purple Qi from the East, vanishing across ten thousand miles.’
Yet now, he was witnessing the shadow of Thousand Miles to the West Technique in the hands of someone other than the ancestor. That same unmistakable purple aura had appeared… And most importantly, the person using it was merely an ordinary Martial Commander!
“Thousand Miles to the West Technique has been leaked… This must be reported immediately!”
Wu Honghe made the decision in an instant.
Thousand Miles to the West Technique was the Wu family’s most secretive Great Transcendent cultivation method, something the Wu family’s ancestor had obtained through unimaginable difficulty… If it were to spread freely, then how could the ancestor’s status remain unshaken?
Right now, only one outsider had learned it.
But what if there were two, three, four… or even more in the future? One day, the Wu family’s ancestor might end up suffering losses because of the very technique he had worked so hard to acquire!
“Lord Governor!”
“I’ve already reached a conclusion regarding the trade route between Base 88 and Base 18. I will depart immediately and ensure this matter is settled!”
Wu Honghe casually used this as an excuse and quickly left the northern wall.
Before leaving, he glanced back at Su Xiaobai, who had already soared into the sky, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
With Su Xiaobai’s strength, the Wu family could have formed an alliance with him and established a friendship.
But Su Xiaobai had actually cultivated the Thousand Miles to the West Technique… This was something the Wu family could never tolerate!
Thus, there was only one fate awaiting Su Xiaobai—death!
That very day, Wu Honghe left Base 15 and rushed toward Base 88 at full speed.
…
“Ding! Shadow has been killed, entering cooldown!”
The system notification rang in Su Xiaobai’s mind, causing him to raise an eyebrow.
“My strength has increased tremendously. Both my endurance and agility have reached sub-divine levels, yet my Shadow was still instantly killed… It seems that whatever is lurking at Base 84 must at least be a Martial God-tier beast!”
Now that his power had grown, Su Xiaobai attempted to send his Shadow again. After all, this was about obtaining a Great Transcendent cultivation technique—how could he be careless?
However, not long after dispatching the Shadow, it was killed once more.
This confirmed that the danger at Base 84 was absolutely at the Martial God level or beyond… No wonder Base 84 had been annihilated!
“I should head to the Otherworld first… Even someone like Commander Tang managed to return from there alive. Surely, I won’t be that unlucky, right?”
“If I gather enough resources from the Otherworld, accumulate sufficient wealth, and upgrade my system functions a few more times—maybe even unlock some new cheats—then I’ll finally be able to explore Base 84!”
“And not just Base 84… Even the Ultimate Base, I’ll qualify to enter!”
Su Xiaobai’s eyes gleamed.
He had once discussed bases with Governor Xiao Longyu of Base 18.
Bases were categorized.
Base 18 was among the weakest—just an ordinary small base.
Base 15, on the other hand, was a large base, ranking in the lower-middle tier among the 10,008 human bases… Some of the stronger large bases even had Martial Gods stationed there.
Above large bases were Super Bases!
There were quite a few Super Bases around the world, with the weakest ones guarded by elite Martial Gods.
Slightly stronger ones were protected by peak Martial Gods.
Only a handful were overseen by Transcendent Martial Gods, also known as Quasi-Martial Kings.
But even Super Bases weren’t the strongest.
The true core of humanity’s power, and the greatest bastion against the Otherworld, was the Ultimate Base—Base 1!
Base 1 was humanity’s very first established base, and its vast territory was beyond question.
Countless Martial Gods had emerged from there.
Rumor had it that its overall strength surpassed all other bases in the world combined!
Most crucially, Base 1 was the only place guarded by a Martial King-tier human—humanity’s final frontline against the Otherworld, yet also the world’s safest haven.
Naturally, gaining entry and being recognized as a resident of Base 1 was nearly impossible!
Su Xiaobai couldn’t stay in Base 15 forever.
His goal was to make his way to Base 1.
Only there could he reach the pinnacle of this world, uncover all its secrets… and stand at the peak of humanity.
More importantly, only by reaching Base 1 and obtaining its resident ID would he no longer have to worry about the safety of Su Ling’er and Xiao Bai Long.
Because, according to rumors, Base 1 still upheld the last remnants of humanity’s once-glorious laws…
Before it was renamed Base 1, it stood in the center of the world, the most authoritative and powerful country—a land known as “**”!
When the Great Cataclysm struck, ** was the only nation that managed to defend itself and establish a human base. To resist the monstrous threat and save humanity, the ** government launched a series of global base transformation plans, giving the surviving humans a fighting chance…
It was no exaggeration to say that ** was the very origin of humanity after the Great Cataclysm!
But precisely because of its immense power, entering Base 1 required a minimum of Martial God-tier strength!
Su Xiaobai wasn’t expecting to reach the top overnight.
He could take things step by step, gradually grinding through the Otherworld, farming resources, and raising his strength bit by bit… Eventually, he wouldn’t just become a resident of Base 1—he could even become one of its core elites!
“But before that, I need to stay busy for the next few days!”
“Gathering a large supply of Grade-7 qualification-modifying pills won’t be easy… The cost alone is already making my heart ache!”
The Otherworld’s teleportation array had strict requirements—only those with top-tier cultivation aptitude could use it.
This was an unchangeable rule.
Even if the teleportation array was activated, those who failed to meet the standard couldn’t undergo spatial transfer.
Thus, Su Xiaobai began his preparation.
He refined all the materials obtained through One-click collection, auto-mining, and auto-hunting into various pills and spirit weapons, then sold them in targeted trades.
Next, he visited the Treasure Pill Pavilion, Beast Treasure Pavilion, and Heavenly Weapon Pavilion, scouring all three.
In an instant, his wealth skyrocketed to nearly 500 billion!
But he didn’t use it to upgrade his system functions.
Instead, he took that 500 billion to Base 15’s black market and went on a frenzy, buying up refining and forging materials.
That’s right.
He was leveraging the massive profit margins between raw materials and finished products to amass the greatest fortune possible in the shortest amount of time!
Three days later.
Su Xiaobai’s fortune had ballooned to a staggering 3.4 trillion.
But his biggest gain wasn’t just money—it was that his cultivation had advanced once again!
