"Great, great! Divine Land is truly blessed to have you."
Old Tang accepted the cultivation technique passed down by Li Xingkong. Within that small pattern lay information powerful enough to change the entire world. Only someone as magnanimous as Li Xingkong could so easily hand it over to him.
For anyone else, this would be a family heirloom, the kind of thing that anyone who sees it would want to kill.
As for Li Xingkong, he felt that array formations were something that required a lot of manpower to explore. It was impossible for him to figure it out by himself alone, as manpower was limited. He couldn't spend a lot of time on it. For him, improving his cultivation was the most important thing, and other methods could be regarded as secondary.
Rather than keeping it to myself, it's better to let the vast people of Divine Land study, expand upon, and create with it. Perhaps when I emerge from seclusion after a period of cultivation, this formation, in the hands of the people, will create something new that will impress even Li Xingkong.
The elevator landed smoothly in place, but it didn't crash directly to the ground. Instead, it maintained a slight gap between itself and the ground, remaining suspended in the air.
Li Xingkong escorted everyone down. Every single person who came to inspect the elevator left early, wanting to take a few more glances. At this moment, Commander Wang of the military region took out the black and white chess pieces that controlled the elevator, activated them, and then controlled the elevator to take them back to the military region.
Of course, the others wouldn't let him take it back so easily. After all, aside from everything else, this thing still belonged to the Space Agency. So they surrounded Commander Wang. They were determined to figure it out today, so no one could take this thing away.
While they were engrossed in their research, Old Tang asked Li Xingkong:
So what are your plans next?
"Next, I plan to go back to the moon for seclusion. Now that the issue of Spiritual Qi has been resolved, it's natural to focus on further advancement in my cultivation."
Li Xingkong thought about it and realized that he really didn't have anything else to worry about now. The things that had troubled him for a long time had now been accomplished. His parents had embarked on cultivation and their lifespans had been extended, so at least they wouldn't be in danger of losing their lives for the time being. The Earth Vein had been deployed throughout the country, Divine Land had entered an era of Spiritual Qi revival. The whole country had begun a vigorous cultivation campaign.
As cultivation becomes more widespread, it will bring about tremendous social changes. In this transformation, countless new trends will stir up the already solidified social classes once again. Although there may be some chaos, what will follow is a brand new Divine Land full of vitality.
Although society has undergone significant changes, none of these things affect Li Xingkong. To put it simply, Li Xingkong is like a scumbag who only takes care of the Spiritual Qi revival. Once his wish is fulfilled, he can't be bothered with the aftermath and leaves it to Divine Land to handle.
But this mentality of Li Xingkong is exactly what Divine Land wants to see. After all, no one wants someone with absolute power pointing fingers at them. If that happens, the country will cease to be a country and will just be someone else's toy.
As for Li Xingkong, he was too lazy to care about these things. He didn't even have enough time for his own cultivation, let alone time to deal with these matters. It was fine as it was, since the current development philosophy of Divine Land was in line with his own ideas.
As long as the general direction remains unchanged, Li Xingkong feels that he doesn't need to get involved in these matters, unless something unorthodox or regressive emerges that is clearly illogical and the entire Divine Land is unable to handle it, in which case it wouldn't be too late for him to intervene.
"Alright, you can go into seclusion without worry. We'll take care of your parents and things here in Divine Land. You can rest assured."
For Old Tang, Li Xingkong was absolutely the most suitable cultivator to cooperate with, without exception, because he was only focused on cultivation and had no other thoughts. If someone said that Li Xingkong harbored evil intentions and would cause chaos in the world, his first reaction would be, "Where did this spy come from? Investigate him thoroughly."
Old Tang's assessment of Li Xingkong can be summed up in one sentence: a pure scholar. If cultivation can be considered a discipline, then he is the scholar at the forefront of that discipline. He only has cultivation in his eyes, and everything else can be put aside.
However, such people also need proper guidance, because for them, research is just a means, whether it is good or bad. Whether the results of their research are good or bad depends on who gets their hands on them.
Putting everything else aside, take the simplest example: Gene Dictionary. In Divine Land's hands, it's a source of technological progress. But in the hands of the Eagle Country, it becomes a manual for biological weapons. Judging from the information Old Tang has received recently, the Eagle Country is already doing just that.
They collected a large amount of Divine Land People blood from overseas Chinese who had traveled to the Eagle Country, and combined this with fragments of Gene Dictionary to develop a bioweapon targeting specific genes. They have already begun testing this weapon within their own country.
As for the test subjects, they were naturally the Divine Land People who went to Runqu. Since they didn't even have proper identities, it was perfectly normal for them to be used as test subjects.
Of course, the ambitions of the Eagle Country are not limited to this. In addition to the Divine Land People, they are conducting research on genetic weapons of all races around the world. Except for the Squid People, after all, the Eagle Country are an economy-driven country, and the Squid People are behind the whole country, so they would naturally not target their own people.
This kind of thing should have been done in secret, but cultivation in Divine Land came too fast. As early as when cultivation began to be popularized in the army, there were already people who had achieved success in cultivation who went there with a skill in eavesdropping.
This spell was actually created by Li Xingkong. It was used to observe the online world, which was basically like entering one's own home, with absolutely no means of defense.
Taking advantage of this technological gap, Divine Land has thoroughly exposed the Eagle Country ' weaknesses. If it weren't for the fact that many crucial pieces of information are not even available online, China could even see the true colors of the Eagle Country ' underwear.
In short, Old Tang had complete confidence in Li Xingkong. At least if he was the number one cultivator, there wouldn't be any trouble in the entire Divine Land.
For Li Xingkong, his strength had not improved for some time. Although his Divine Sense was increasing Heavenly Capital due to frequent use, the rate of increase was indeed not enough compared to his secluded cultivation.
If he doesn't go into seclusion, the speed at which he absorbs energy using only the Qi Refining Method is clearly insufficient. If he wants to further develop in the Foundation Establishment Stage, improving the efficiency of energy acquisition is imperative.
Directly and mindlessly enhancing one's Divine Sense, resulting in a deficiency of one's Magic Power, would be ridiculous. One's cultivation level might increase, but without Magic Power, one would be no different from a cripple.
