The document " The Self-Cultivation Guidelines, Phase Two (Trial Implementation) of the Great Xia Self-Cultivation Outline" was distributed to universities nationwide.
A top-secret selection process, codenamed "The Great Wall," was launched simultaneously in five major war zones.
Despite the document's explicit requirement of veterans with more than eight years of service, registration points in various military regions were still packed with people.
Within three days, tens of thousands of applications poured in like snowflakes.
Reconnaissance soldiers, technical backbones, special forces elites...
Even female soldiers in civilian positions enthusiastically submitted applications.
Within Lu Yao's civilian unit, many veterans who were of legal age submitted their applications.
Unfortunately, she only served for two years and was far from meeting the requirements, so she had to give up.
"Squad leader, what exactly is the mission you're going to carry out in this selection process?"
"Why didn't they even mention the selection process?"
Inside the office, Lu Yao asked out of curiosity.
The female soldier she addressed as "squad leader" looked to be in her early twenties.
Her neat short hair made her look very energetic.
"I don't know either. It didn't say anything from above. It just said that anyone who meets the requirements can participate."
"However... let me tell you, selection processes like this, where no mission information is revealed..."
"They're usually not simple!"
"Yeah..."
Lu Yao became increasingly curious, but she had no way to investigate further.
They would only suppress their doubts.
"Okay, that's all for now. The first thing after successful registration is the medical examination."
"It's almost time, I'll head down now."
After saying that, the female squad leader hurriedly left.
Lu Yao was left alone in the office.
In the quiet office, Lu Yao stared blankly at the documents and papers on her desk.
I wonder what he's thinking.
The next second.
It seemed like she had a sudden whim.
It seemed as if they wanted to do something.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze landing on a pile of scattered documents on the windowsill.
His bright eyes flickered slightly.
Beautiful eyebrows are squeezed together.
Several tens of seconds later.
Something amazing happened!
The pile of scattered documents suddenly began to move.
It was as if an invisible hand was pushing them, causing them to spill down from the windowsill.
It fell to the ground.
The curtains, which looked as if they were being blown by the wind, were perfectly smooth and showed no signs of distress.
"Phew... it seems... I've gotten a bit stronger."
"I don't know... if I proactively reveal my abilities, will I be able to participate in the selection..."
Lu Yao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had lost all her strength.
He murmured uncertainly...
The registration phase for the Great Wall Selection has ended.
The major military regions quickly entered into a busy "physical examination" phase.
Of course, the so-called physical examination...
This is naturally a test of Spirit Root!
A hospital of a certain army group in the Northeast Theater Command.
The atmosphere was solemn in the specially designated medical examination area.
The veterans participating in the selection process moved forward in neat rows, silently and orderly.
It was Lu Yao's turn to speak to her female squad leader.
She lay down on a machine that looked about 70-80% similar to a CT scanner, as instructed.
The pale blue indicator light flickered slightly.
Before she could react...
A strange, cool sensation slowly swept over my entire body.
When I opened my eyes again, I was told that the physical examination was over.
Such scenes are playing out simultaneously at designated medical sites across major military regions nationwide.
The physical examinations of hundreds of thousands of people may seem complicated, but they can be accomplished by the formidable mobilization capacity of the Great Xia.
Extremely efficient.
Just a few days.
A top-secret report was placed on Li Yuanchao's desk.
" Director Li, the preliminary screening results have been compiled."
"Throughout the entire military, those who meet the requirement of eight or more years of military service..."
"And 2,813 soldiers were identified as having ' Spirit Root '."
"Based on the current base of one million active-duty military personnel, a rough estimate..."
The proportion of people possessing Spirit Root is approximately one percent!
"Given the potential for errors in testing, the actual figures may fluctuate slightly."
"But these are the only ones who currently meet the seniority requirements for military service."
One percent!
This number made Li Yuanchao's gaze narrow slightly.
That was completely unexpected.
Strictly speaking, this ratio is too high!
It's exceptionally high.
The earliest specific Spirit Root tests conducted by the Great Xia were completely unreliable.
Only this census can fully explain the proportion of Spirit Root in the Great Xia.
According to the message Lu Li sent back, the Azure Pool Three Commanderies have a population of several million, but only a few thousand cultivators.
Nearly one in a thousand.
The Great Xia was ten times taller than that. What does that mean?
It should be known that the Azure Pool Three Commanderies are located in the cultivation Immortal Realm, where the heavens and earth are imbued with spiritual energy and cultivators come and go.
The continuation of bloodlines, material elements, and even the great demons deliberately adjusting the cultivators' bloodline environment.
Under such conditions, the proportion of Great Xia Spirit Root was more than ten times that of Great Xia.
Li Yuanchao dared not imagine what it would be like to place the Great Xia in such an environment.
How overcrowded would the ratio of cultivators be?
" Director Li... Director Li?"
"Okay, continue."
Li Yuanchao snapped out of his daze and suppressed his shock and doubt.
The clerk-soldier continued the report.
Should we immediately launch the second phase of Great Wall Plan?
The so-called second stage is to select the best of the best, and at the same time, officially begin the grand plan for the Great Xia.
An assessment based on a combination of Spirit Root aptitude and temperament.
Of the 2,813 people, only the top 100 with the most outstanding qualifications will be brought to the Bureau 749 base.
To come into contact with the core secrets of spiritual civilization and receive the most direct and systematic guidance.
It's even possible that... they'll receive priority access to resources from another world.
They are the true spearhead, the pioneers who will fight against unknown risks and support Lu Li in the future.
The remaining two thousand-plus veterans with Spirit Root will be uniformly transferred to other units.
They left their original workplace and headed to their new destination.
Another newly established, heavily guarded large military base on the outskirts of Beijing.
That place will later become the headquarters of the ' Great Xia Self-Cultivation Affairs Administration '.
There, you won't find the rich Spiritual Qi and state-of-the-art Spirit Machinery artifacts of 749 Base.
However, they will systematically learn the common sense of spiritual practice compiled by a team of experts.
The Formation Method Talismanic Script the basics of cultivation, analysis of Spiritual Qi characteristics, and explanations of common basic formation runes, among other things.
At the same time, they will begin practicing the standardized "Basic Qi Refinement Method ( Great Xia Military Version)".
They also had the opportunity to receive instruction from Xu Mu and others.
However, they will not receive any additional Spirit Stone or elixirs.
Their cultivation depended entirely on the spiritual energy that was beginning to recover in the outskirts of Beijing.
"Execute it."
"This step is also crucial for our Great Xia. If it can be successfully implemented according to plan..."
"The framework for cultivation in the Great Xia can be considered complete."
Li Yuanchao's voice was calm and steady.
"Yes!"
The clerk-soldier nodded.
Without further ado, I produced the final report document.
" Director Li, the final report needs to be made regarding... the international situation."
" The Five Eyes Alliance, and the Beautiful Country too..."
"Don't worry about it."
Before the clerk-soldier could finish speaking, Li Yuanchao interrupted him.
The current focus of the Great Xia is on the revival of Spiritual Qi.
They didn't have time to argue and play house with those big-nosed guys.
"The revival of Spiritual Qi is a global phenomenon, but... it began in the Great Xia Dynasty, specifically in the outskirts of the capital."
Let them be suspicious if they want, don't bother with them.
"When they realize what's happening... heh..."
With a soft chuckle, Li Yuanchao said nothing more.
They're no good at economics, they're no good at military affairs, and as for cultivation... that's something that's ingrained in the very bones of our Great Xia!
