Great Xia's flourishing immortal path, cultivation feedback from nearly a hundred people

Chen Feng's mind was a complete muddle.

Ever since he had discovered novels, he had even quit gaming.

Especially cultivation novels.

They captivated him so much that he could hide under his covers all day without even turning over, unless the pressure on his arm became unbearable.

Staying up late in secret had become routine.

As for his studies.

His grades had plummeted spectacularly. After all, without sleeping at night, how could he have the concentration to study during the day?

All day, his head was filled with splitting the heavens with one sword strike and severing the sea with another.

He was practically obsessed.

Even so, having grown up in a materialist world filled with positive values, Chen Feng's understanding of cultivation still existed only within illusory fantasies.

Become a cultivator?

What a joke.

Am I still asleep, or are you?

"Uh, I know staying up late reading novels is wrong, but there's no need to mess with me like this, right? This glowing stone is pretty amazing. It feels warm too. There must be a light installed inside."

"Who sent you? Teacher Li? Or Teacher Wang?"

"Whatever, I'm leaving first. You guys carry on."

As he spoke, Chen Feng stood up and prepared to walk out, only to be stopped by the man with the upright posture and imposing presence.

"Student Chen Feng, I work for the Ministry of State Security. Since you possess a heavenly spirit root and meet the qualifications to join the Great Xia Star Palace, please come with us."

"You don't need to worry about your family. The relevant departments will inform them that you have been requisitioned by the country to carry out a secret mission because of your special talents. In addition, the country will provide your family with a monthly allowance to improve their lives."

"Student Chen Feng, congratulations once again!"

As he spoke, envy showed in his eyes.

That was cultivation, which had already become reality!

Unfortunately, he had no spirit root and lacked that fated opportunity.

He could only contribute his own share to Great Xia's cultivation endeavors as a mortal.

Chen Feng was secretly taken away.

Throughout the journey, his face was filled with shock, confusion, bewilderment, and disbelief.

He even wondered.

Have I been abducted without realizing it?

Because the road ahead grew increasingly remote.

But this was an activity organized by the school.

There shouldn't be any problems, right?

At an abandoned parking lot on the outskirts of the city, ten military helicopters stood in neat rows.

They looked incredibly cool.

Such an impressive display forced Chen Feng to believe in his heart.

The people taking him away really were from the government.

But why?

Could it really be that inconceivable cultivation business?

As he thought it over, he began to waver, his heart pounding faster and faster.

He boarded the helicopter.

Aside from the two pilots, two fully armed Great Xia soldiers guarded Chen Feng between them, one on either side.

Ensuring the journey's safety.

Geniuses with heavenly spirit root aptitude.

Every one of them was a treasure of the motherland.

No mishap could be permitted.

Thus, the pilots flew very cautiously too, seeking steadiness rather than speed.

Time passed, second by second, minute by minute. Chen Feng's heart was filled with nervousness and unease.

This was also his first time riding in a helicopter.

Yet he was in no mood to enjoy the experience.

He only wanted to reach their destination quickly and find out what exactly was going on.

Soon, an awe-inspiring scene entered his sight.

Through the glass directly ahead, he saw the tips of three connected mountain peaks above the clouds.

His gaze shifted downward, beneath the clouds.

Amid the rolling mountain ranges, three towering peaks stood tall.

Like spiritual cranes that had flown into a flock of chickens.

Utterly out of place.

What...

Is this place?

The pilot's voice sounded beside his ear.

"We're almost there. Up ahead is Three Saints Mountain, the sacred immortal sect grounds of our Great Xia Star Palace!"

Three Saints Mountain, the Great Xia Star Palace.

Sacred immortal sect grounds!

It's real.

Cultivation is real!

Chen Feng's understanding was completely overturned, while other emotions also welled up deep within his heart.

Nervousness, shock, joy, anticipation, longing!

Cultivation. This was cultivation!

The arrival of another helicopter brought smiles to the faces of Great Xia's senior officials, who were watching and monitoring events through surveillance feeds.

A heavenly spirit root, a genius of the Great Xia Star Palace.

One more had joined their ranks!

Five or six days had passed since the nationwide spirit root testing began.

So far, more than sixty helicopters had landed on Three Saints Mountain, which meant the addition of more than sixty cultivators with heavenly spirit root aptitude.

As spirit root testing continued.

That number would keep increasing.

Until all eligible people among Great Xia Country's ten billion citizens had been tested.

"Hahahaha! Our Great Xia's path of immortality is flourishing, flourishing!"

"Even looking across the entire cultivation world, there probably isn't any faction with so many geniuses possessing heavenly spirit root aptitude."

"Of course. Our Great Xia has a population base of ten billion right here. We must continue encouraging childbirth in the future. Only with more births will more geniuses emerge!"

Great Xia's senior officials were also full of laughter and cheer.

The current state of development was simply too good.

If they were in the perilous cultivation world, they would constantly have to face threats from every direction.

On Blue Star, however.

Everyone was mortal.

Great Xia had no enemies on the same level at all.

As for other countries.

There was no need to consider them at all.

Even if they learned that Great Xia had begun a cultivation civilization, it would be of no use.

Would they dare come and fight for the inheritance?

If they came, they would be beaten!

Fighting was the last thing Great Xia feared.

Its strength was right there.

Even without cultivators, in a contest purely of technological weaponry, no country on all of Blue Star would dare lightly choose to arm-wrestle with Great Xia.

Ji Chang'an had not forgotten the important business and looked at Li Tao beside him.

"Old Li, how are preparations coming along for the things Comrade Lu requested?"

"Ahem." Li Tao cleared his throat. "According to what we agreed on, there are three nuclear bombs in total, with yields of fifty megatons, eighty megatons, and one hundred megatons respectively. These should be enough to serve as Comrade Lu's trump cards."

"In addition, law artifacts and pills are being produced at full capacity. All the materials Comrade Lu sends over can be turned into finished products."

"However, I suggest keeping some of the pills here. We may even have no need for Comrade Lu to send any more pills in the future. As long as we have enough materials, we can be entirely self-sufficient, and even supply Comrade Lu so that he can sell them in the cultivation world, obtain its spirit stone currency, and purchase more raw materials!"

It was not just law artifacts.

After pill production had been cracked, Great Xia had immediately arranged production lines for them as well.

The formulas for refining them were all standardized.

There was no question of whether they could absorb the incoming materials.

No matter how much there was, Great Xia could handle it.

And turn it into an output of finished pills in a very short time.

At this very moment, Great Xia's role had become even greater.

Whether law artifacts or pills, these two production lines were equivalent to two money trees for Lu Chenxing.

With Great Xia at his back.

As for wealth, that most important resource in the cultivation world.

For him, it was nearly unlimited, an inexhaustible supply that could never be used up.

"That's an excellent suggestion. Explain it in detail to Comrade Lu when we reply. How is the research on radiation particles progressing?"

Li Tao shook his head.

"We've only conducted one experiment and obtained very little data. We have absolutely no leads."

"The volunteer who participated in the experiment suffered severe damage to his spiritual sense. Fortunately, his life isn't in danger, and he's currently recuperating. We can ask Comrade Lu to obtain some heavenly materials and earthly treasures or pills that nourish divine sense in the cultivation world and send them back. That would let us collect data a few more times and unravel the mystery of that power within the radiation particles."

Ji Chang'an nodded lightly.

Encountering problems was perfectly normal. If there were no difficulties at all, that would be unreasonable.

Encounter problems, analyze problems, resolve problems.

That required a process.

There was no rush. They could take their time.

Just like artifact refining and pill refining, all the difficulties would eventually be overcome one by one.

"Speaking of which, that system ability Comrade Lu obtained really is powerful. To think he can receive cultivation feedback from all our Great Xia cultivators. Even among all the system novels I've read, this golden finger counts as pretty overpowered!"

"Exactly. Before, there were few people cultivating in Great Xia, so perhaps the effects weren't all that obvious. Now, we're almost at a hundred. We estimate that once all spirit root testing is complete, the Star Palace will have at least five hundred cultivators. With five hundred cultivators providing cultivation feedback simultaneously, just how fast will Comrade Lu's cultivation progress be?"

"No idea. It's hard to imagine!"
