The upheaval in Azure Pool was a dramatic change for the Azure Pool Three Commanderies, for Yuanhao, and for Lu Li and the Great Xia Dynasty.
Amidst this dramatic change, Great Xia and Lu Li progressed and developed at an unimaginable speed.
The Great Xia Cultivation Administration was officially established.
Lu Dahai, Xu Mu, and Zhang Xuanqing are the special training instructors.
They would take turns going to teach and guide spiritual practice.
Meanwhile, the Bureau 749 Strategic Bureau of Great Xia also received new personnel.
A full one hundred members, selected from the best in terms of both qualifications and character, officially arrived at Bureau 749.
Here they will undergo a completely new systematic training and learning process.
To grow at the fastest speed and contribute to the prosperity of Great Xia.
At this point, the two most crucial departments of the Great Xia were officially deployed on a large scale.
Although the two bureaus share similar characteristics, their actual responsibilities differ.
If the divisions become clearer in the future, then the Cultivation Administration will be similar to an internal department or government office.
Bureau 749... is for external use!
That's right, according to the country's plan, as Lu Li's realm becomes more and more profound.
The successful realization of the ultimate plan to ascend to immortality through the Southern Heavenly Gate will inevitably lead to a karmic connection between the Imprisoned Dragon Realm and the Great Xia.
As a department that has been in contact with and researching the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, Bureau 749 will surely become a pioneering force in cross-border expeditions!
Meanwhile, morale was soaring at the Cultivation Administration base.
Several specially modified buses with sealed windows traveled along the winding mountain road.
They drove silently into the Bureau 749 Strategic Bureau base.
"Platoon leader, where do you think we're going?"
"Didn't they say that passing the physical exam was enough to participate in the mission?"
"How... did you bring us all the way to the mountains?"
On the bus, a slightly lively young soldier curiously looked out the window.
Although the people on the bus remained silent, most of them were also puzzled.
Before everyone could finish their thought, the convoy had already arrived at its destination.
As shouts rang out, everyone quickly got off the vehicle and joined the company.
"Everyone! Enter in queue."
"No loud noises allowed; report any issues immediately."
The team leader's voice came through.
However, everyone's attention was firmly drawn to the surrounding environment.
Even with all my experience, I was still taken aback by this scene, which looked like something out of a science fiction movie.
These young people were still deeply impressed.
Silver-gray metal corridors, various never-before-seen automated equipment, ultra-high-tech fighter jets and vehicles...
Where... are we?
"On my command... let's go!"
Before anyone could react, the team leader's voice rang out again.
The line began to move.
Proceeding into the base.
The deeper they went, the more horrified they became.
After taking the super-large high-speed elevator, the group finally arrived at the core area of the base, the command hall.
A huge circular screen occupied an entire wall.
A complex network of data flows across it.
Before anyone could even take a good look at the technologically advanced environment, the group was completely taken aback.
Thick stacks of paper documents were then distributed to everyone.
"Everyone, read the document immediately!"
"Understand the intent behind the document."
The team leader's voice continued to come through; this team leader was an employee of Bureau 749.
After he finished speaking, Li Yuanchao walked out.
The team leader quickly saluted and began his report.
"Reporting to Director Li!"
"100 new members, 100 expected, 100 present, all members present, please give instructions!"
"Hmm... Go and rest, I'll talk to the comrades."
Li Yuanchao greeted him with a gentle expression.
Facing the crowd.
"Comrades! I know you are feeling somewhat doubtful right now."
"But everything recorded in the documents you have is true; you must read them carefully."
"This is extremely important to you, to me, and to the Great Xia."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's doubts deepened, and they quickly began to look through the documents in their hands.
"Splash!"
The sound of pages turning echoed throughout the hall.
When the veterans read the contents of the document, their pupils constricted sharply.
Li Gang is a reconnaissance instructor with ten years of military service.
When he saw the introductions about Spiritual Qi, cultivation, the Imprisoned Dragon Realm, and that fellow countryman who was isolated in another world.
The fingers gripping the document turned slightly white from the force.
He glanced at the crowd instinctively and found that everyone had the same expression as him.
A veteran sergeant, a former top-notch technician, began to breathe rapidly.
A subdued sense of shock and disbelief filled the entire hall.
The only sound was the rustling of pages turning.
Half an hour later, everyone had looked at the documents in their hands several times, but they still couldn't take their eyes off them.
It's still being flipped through repeatedly; clearly, it's difficult to accept right now.
Seeing this, Li Yuanchao knew that the time was almost right.
He looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
"Comrades, everything you have seen is real."
"A completely new world, a power system that transcends our current understanding, is unfolding before us."
"More importantly, there... one of our compatriots was there."
"Comrade Lu Li is all alone, forging ahead through the perilous world of another realm, striving to secure precious opportunities and a future for Great Xia!"
"He brought back hope and seeds, and you..."
Li Yuanchao's voice suddenly rose, causing everyone to stop what they were doing.
All eyes were fixed on him in awe.
"You are the chosen spark, the future spearhead of the nation."
Every bit of growth you experience here will become a source of strength to support Comrade Lu Li.
"Our goal is to become one of the first pioneers to cross boundaries when the ultimate plan, the Southern Heavenly Gate, arrives."
"Plant our flag on that unfamiliar land, and tell our comrades that he has never fought alone!"
His words were like a thunderclap, awakening everyone.
It dispelled the confusion in everyone's hearts and ignited a fierce fighting spirit.
I thought of that compatriot I had never met but who was shouldering a heavy responsibility.
A surge of hot blood welled up in my chest.
These men were all veterans who had served for more than eight years, and their feelings for the Great Xia ran incredibly deep.
Amidst the heightened emotions of the crowd, in the center of the command hall.
The fish-shaped jade pendant, which had always been considered a top secret, suddenly emitted a soft and steady light.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuanchao smiled with relief.
He had discussed it with Lu Li beforehand and agreed that when new members joined, he would also give a speech.
Boost morale.
Lu Li didn't refuse; they were all comrades, and exchanging greetings wouldn't cause any problems.
The jade pendant was then awakened at the agreed time.
As the jade pendant shimmered, Lu Li's familiar, clear voice resounded throughout the command hall.
"Hello, fellow new comrades, I am Lu Li."
"Welcome to Bureau 749, welcome... on this extraordinary journey."
"The future of our hometown rests in your hands. I am willing to work with you all to build Great Wall!"
