On this day, Jing Tian was lying on a makeshift recliner, swaying gently as he watched Su Xinghe teach his seven disciples the basic martial arts of the Free and Easy School.
Watching them perform their martial arts routines one by one, Jing Tian used the principles of the I Ching he had learned over the past few days to predict their next moves in his mind, while also comparing them with the movements he sensed through his qi.
This was not a futile effort, because if he only used qi to sense, he wouldn't be able to predict the next move if the opponent had no qi or controlled it very well. To make up for this shortcoming, he could use the principles of the I Ching he had learned recently.
Under Jing Tian's mental awareness, the next moves of Su Xinghe and the others were quickly deduced and presented in his mind. After a while, Jing Tian, somewhat listlessly, retracted his mental awareness and sighed softly, "No good, it's too draining. I'll have to find the Nine Swords of Dugu to systematically organize this..."
At that moment, a pigeon fluttered down from the sky. Su Xinghe, upon seeing it, went over, took a small piece of cloth from the pigeon's leg, glanced at it, and then handed it to Jing Tian.
Waving for Su Xinghe to continue teaching his disciples, Jing Tian unfolded the cloth and read it.
"Oh~ Duan Yu has been captured, and the Beggar Sect is also making moves..." Jing Tian read the few pieces of information he had asked Xue Muhua to pay special attention to.
Feeling somewhat annoyed as he read the message, Jing Tian thought, "I can't always follow them around, but if I don't, I'll miss a lot. And this is the real world; finding someone is very troublesome."
Sighing helplessly, he said to himself, somewhat depressed but also somewhat excited, "Well, I should go back for a while..."
Without saying goodbye, he moved and returned to the dimensional space, stopping the time in the martial arts world. He then focused his thoughts on the Dragon Ball world, and with a thought, he appeared in his room, while the time in the Dragon Ball world resumed.
"Huh? Where did you go?" Bulma looked at Jing Tian, who had just appeared in the room, still wearing strange clothes, after being in bed a moment ago.
Seeing his beloved, Jing Tian happily lay down between the two women, first kissing the sleeping Launch, then hugging Bulma and slowly recounting his experiences over the past period.
"Amazing~~~ I wish I could go with you to see all these different worlds..." Bulma said with a sigh after listening to Jing Tian's story.
"Let's skip the martial arts world; the people there speak a language you won't understand. When I find a suitable world, I'll take you there." Jing Tian thought that if Bulma learned divine powers, safety wouldn't be an issue, unless it was a very dangerous world or one he subconsciously refused to enter. Other fantasy worlds should be fine.
"Really? That's great. Come on, let's go assemble the satellite so you can complete your task quickly." Excited by Jing Tian's promise, Bulma got up and was ready to work all night.
Jing Tian laughed and pulled Bulma back, hugging her and said, "No rush. I haven't held you in a long time. Let's rest tonight and prepare tomorrow." Then his hands started to wander...
"Hey, we just did that. Let me go, I'm too tired..." Bulma squirmed uncomfortably under Jing Tian's caresses, pleading.
Jing Tian, realizing this, said to Bulma with a troubled look, "For you, it was just a blink, but I've been separated from you for almost two months..."
Bulma, hearing this, said with a hint of schadenfreude, "That's your problem, not mine. Now, behave. I need to rest; I have work to do tomorrow." She then found a comfortable position in Jing Tian's arms and closed her eyes to rest...
Holding Bulma, Jing Tian looked at the ceiling, his mind calm. He realized that neither the real world nor any other world gave him a sense of belonging. The only place where he felt at peace and calm was in the dimensional space and with Bulma. He couldn't help but think of the saying, "Where my heart finds peace is my home..."
After resting with the two women for a while, Jing Tian gently pushed the sleeping Bulma aside, got up, and went downstairs to the lab to start working.
After an unknown amount of time, Bulma's voice came from behind, "I knew you'd be here." She then told the flying housekeeping robot, "Tell Launch to bring breakfast here later." After asking about Jing Tian's progress, she also started working.
When Launch brought the breakfast, the three of them ate it. As Launch clumsily helped, Jing Tian listened to Bulma's angry complaints and Launch's silly smiles, feeling incredibly happy, and his actions sped up.
With all the materials ready, by noon, a satellite with an estimated lifespan of 500 years was assembled.
After setting the constants, it was turned into a portable capsule and stored by Jing Tian. He then continued to assemble the satellite launch device.
After a busy day, everything was ready by evening. After cuddling with the two women for a while, to complete his plan sooner, Jing Tian reluctantly stopped the time in the Dragon Ball world again and returned to the martial arts world.
In the eyes of Su Xinghe and the others, Jing Tian's body, lying on the strange wooden bed, became blurry and then returned to normal. They didn't question the immortal, thinking it was normal for immortals to be different. But when they saw Jing Tian stand up and produce a pile of metal items, they watched in confusion.
After returning to the martial arts world, Jing Tian got up from the recliner, found a flat area, and took out the satellite launch device piece by piece from the dimensional space, assembling it. After more than an hour, he took out the compressed capsule containing the satellite, fixed it in a slot inside the launch device, and raised his hand, saying, "Devin, calculate all the constants needed to launch the satellite in this world, synchronize them with the launch device, and adjust the power settings."
"Yes, sir."
Soon, Devin reported that the adjustments were complete and the launch device had been checked.
Jing Tian nodded in satisfaction. Turning to look at the curious group of Wuyazi and Su Xinghe's eight disciples, he said with a smile, "Stay back, be careful not to get burned."
After leading everyone away from the launch site, when they asked what it was, Jing Tian didn't answer and said to Devin, "Launch it."
As soon as he spoke, the launch device's base separated, and the three-meter-tall cylindrical launch device slowly rose into the air thanks to the anti-gravity technology from the Dragon Ball world. After rising more than 20 meters, a jet of flame erupted from the bottom of the launch device, accelerating it into the sky.

PS: Please follow and recommend.
PS2: I recommend a novel by a talented female author, a very atmospheric and martial arts-flavored xianxia work.
