The Maozi" that Old Five mentioned was none other than a stranger.
Speaking of which, the Maozi are considered legendary figures in the cultivation world of Great Xia.
It was originally an experimental product of the earliest Bureau 749, the Soul Dao Information Workshop.
Its true form is a white rat whose soul has been stripped away, fused with a Spirit Machinery body.
At first, no one could have imagined that this strange Spirit Machinery white rat could survive for nearly a thousand years.
Not only that, even his cultivation level surprised the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He is currently one of the top demonic beings in the country who Tribulation Transcendence.
Moreover, he is the director of the Demon Affairs Division Cultivator Administration of Vast Cold City, on the moon, an administrative planet.
The monsters responsible for overseeing all events on the moon.
Turning around, he boarded the bright silver airship, and Old Five slid his finger across the screen.
The spaceship headed towards the area below the supersonic telemetry array carrier center.
Below the center of the long-range telescope array.
Grotto-Heaven.
The entire tubular structure actually contains an office building beneath it.
Half of it stands on the ground, serving as the foundation for the long-range teleportation array mounting center.
The remaining half extends deep into the ground, which is the core of the Vast Cold City Cultivation Administration.
The Old Five's spaceship has an internal communication chip.
You can access the Cultivation Administration below directly through a dedicated shipboard passage.
Once it reached the underground docking pad, it retracted its airship and disembarked.
What brings you here?
Why are you here instead of staying at headquarters?
As soon as the Old Five stepped out of the spaceship, he heard a familiar voice transmission through Divine Sense.
As Bandit Cultivator, Maozi had already detected the presence of the Old Five when he approached Vast Cold City.
"I just happened to be here to see off some newlyweds, and I thought I'd drop by and see you too."
"Why wouldn't you welcome me?"
The Old Five chuckled and walked towards the elevator.
Upon hearing what Old Five said, Maozi snorted coldly, knowing exactly what was going on.
"Look at me? Are you trying to steal my salary again?"
"My eighth-grade spirit pill from last month, you've probably already digested it into dust by now!"
Speaking of the fierce battle last month, the Maozi's voice was filled with resentment.
The Old Five, feeling a little embarrassed, scratched his head.
"Why would we talk about this? Well, I came here today to help you recover some losses."
"How about playing a couple of rounds?"
"Snort!"
The Maozi neither accepted nor refused the Elder Yu's invitation.
A cold snort said it all.
The Old Five easily found his way to the deepest part of the Cultivation Administration's underground basement.
They encountered many members of the Demon Affairs Division along the way.
Among them are transformed Demon Beast, as well as half-transformed ones, and even those that have not yet transformed.
They have different body shapes and different races.
Some are as majestic as lions and tigers, while others are as small as birds.
Others transformed into various human forms, each one busy and hurried.
When the members saw Old Five, they naturally recognized him as their own director.
One by one, they greeted each other respectfully.
He responded to each of the numerous members individually.
The Old Five finally entered the Maozi's office.
The office is very spacious, covering nearly 100 square meters.
The decorating style is somewhat rustic.
Rosewood office furniture, black leather sofa, and a calligraphy scroll with the inscription " Heavenly Dao " hanging behind the desk.
"Your style is just like Dahai's, isn't it?"
"None of your business."
"Fine, fine, I don't care. Don't say your brother didn't think of you."
"Senior Lu Li has returned, and this time he brought quite a lot of Immortal Dao resources."
"So, how about we take a gamble?"
The Old Five made a joke and sat down on the black leather sofa.
The tone was seductive.
His words, however, caused the Maozi to frown slightly.
The swivel leather chair behind the desk slowly turned around.
A small, palm-sized, gilded white Spirit Machinery rat was revealed.
"Are you crazy? You dare to bet on this?"
"Hey, don't overthink it. I'm talking about the batch that might pay you my salary."
"I don't have the guts to do what the bureau does."
"Of course, we don't know what will be sent yet, but you and I will definitely get a share."
"How about a game?"
The return of Immortal Dao resources to Great Xia is a boon for the many Great Xia are stuck at the Tribulation Transcendence or even the Mahayana.
Extremely important.
It can be said that this time, everyone realized the opportunity to become an immortal.
Old Five and Maozi have been in the Cultivation Administration for many years and have a distinguished record of service.
Having handled countless demonic affairs, he would naturally be rewarded.
This time, it is very likely to be the resources for Immortal Dao.
Both Old Five and Maozi were extremely interested in this.
If we can win back another point from the opponent, the probability of a breakthrough in the future will only be greater.
"This... bet!"
There was almost no hesitation.
The Maozi gritted his teeth, a hint of excitement showing in his mechanical eyes, which gleamed with a blue light.
Take a gamble and you might win big.
Let's gamble on the path to immortality turning into a smooth thoroughfare!
The two demons were of one mind and used their Divine Sense to isolate the office.
For the next half hour, no one knew what happened in the office.
All that is known is that when Old Five came out of the Maozi's office, his face was radiant and his expression was joyful and peaceful.
"Alright, that's enough for today."
"Don't bother seeing me off, I'll head back now."
"Oh, by the way, I just wanted to let you know that there's a meeting at headquarters next Monday."
"This meeting is very important. Senior Lu Li is attending, so it's of great significance. Don't forget."
Old Five waved lazily at Maozi Russian and walked out of the office with a satisfied look on his face.
As soon as I stepped out, I heard a series of crackling sounds coming from inside the office.
He let out a low, sharp whistle.
Curious, Divine Sense through the wall into the Maozi office.
But the four large characters " Heavenly Dao " behind the desk had somehow changed to "Gambling harms the body"...
Meetings at the Blue Star headquarters were a frequent occurrence in the past.
Numerous departments participated.
For particularly large meetings, the heads of all interstellar cities in the Milky Way Galaxy will be invited back to participate.
The scale and level of this headquarters meeting are extremely rare in the history of the Great Xia.
All attendees were at least at the Bandit Cultivator.
In addition, there are several Mahayana Venerables, Mahayana Supremes, and even True Immortals and Human Immortals.
This can be described as the largest-scale cultivation revival since the Great Xia Dynasty began.
Among them was Qi Hao, the chief leader of the Great Xia Velociraptor Special Operations Team, which was responsible for handling special, urgent, and high-risk cultivation matters.
Qi Hao is exactly 800 years old this year.
An eight-hundred-year-old Mahayana Supreme, whether placed in Great Xia or in the Imprisoned Dragon Heaven.
They're all at an amazing age.
It can be said that apart from Lu Dahai, there is no other cultivator in the Great Xia Dynasty who is as talented as him.
The Dragon Group headquarters is located in a military base on the outskirts of Beijing.
At this moment, more than a dozen figures dressed in black were gathered in Qi Hao's office.
Qi Hao sat upright, listening to their report with a serious expression.
The report was highly confidential.
This concerns high-risk practices in various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Team leader, traces of the Gray Tide Remnants have appeared!"
"This time their location is... Kepler-452b!"
