Cult Organizations and Foreign Forces

By fusing with the Dao Foundation according to the extraordinary rules and runes they set, they can influence the external environment.

This continuous growth is the true essence of extraordinary nature.

Ultimately, Wang An decided to postpone the cultivation of the two steps, [Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness] and [Refining Emptiness and Joining the Dao], until he had transcended the mortal realm.

Without genuine extraordinary rules and extraordinary energy, attempting to achieve these two levels of accomplishment is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Just as Wang An was constantly refining his path based on various ancient and modern classics, something unexpected happened Avatar the other side.

The exploration team discovered Black Smoke Fork and traversed a hilly canyon terrain.

He, who had been Qi Observation, discovered that the Heaven and Earth Qi and earth around the entire valley was constantly converging towards a single point.

"The terrain here is very similar to the feng shui energy field I arranged in the villa area."

The fresh air and moisture from the mountains and forests outside quickly converged on this place, like a giant sea eye on the surface of the ocean, constantly devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi).

Wang An clearly sensed that the gathering of Heaven and Earth Qi around him was causing the creatures in this mountain forest to become increasingly sluggish.

He gazed toward the central point.

"This is a localized area with enhanced feng shui energy."

"This place is less than 20km from Huang Family Village camp. Such a disregard for cost in gathering the Heaven and Earth Qi is very likely caused by human intervention."

At the same time, I'm becoming somewhat interested in the person who created this localized energy field.

Wang An instructed everyone to proceed slowly westward, while he went to that point to investigate the situation.

As he got closer to that point, more and more details emerged, gradually calming his nerves.

It is evident that not only the fresh air and water vapor from the mountains and forests, but also the Earth Vein Qi and the Lesser Yang Qi, are constantly converging on that node.

The power at this node converges at a speed that clearly exceeds what a normal feng shui energy field can achieve.

The closer one gets to the surrounding forests, the quieter the creatures become; the vegetation gradually withers and turns grayish-green.

The activity of birds, insects, and other creatures has greatly decreased, and there are hardly any sounds from any living things; the forest is completely silent.

Only the increasingly violent winds raged through the valley, stirring up this lifeless mountain forest.

The birds in the tree stood motionless on the branches, not chirping.

His eyes were droopy, and he didn't look like he was going to sleep; he seemed listless.

The insects, frogs, mice, and other creatures in the jungle have stopped foraging much, and even the movement of large animals passing by has not attracted their attention.

It wasn't until they were within a hundred or two meters of each other that Wang An finally determined what had happened between this point and that node.

There were about a dozen people, mostly foreigners, gathered there.

There were seven or eight people dressed in training uniforms, carrying crossbows, patrolling the area.

At the central node, there were three leaders dressed in black robes and one in a blue robe.

They covered most of their bodies, but from their exposed faces, it was possible to roughly tell that they were foreigners.

There were still several people tied up inside, but Wang An recognized them. They were Zhou Mingyu, the captain of Chunhe Aluminum, and several of his team members.

For some reason, they were bound hand and foot in this depression.

The other five people were already unconscious, but Captain Zhou Mingyu was still cursing incessantly.

Even from such a distance, I could hear it clearly.

"You bunch of foreigners, let me go right now!"

"Didn't you promise to help me get a job? What exactly are you trying to do?"

"That's my Class Change Stone! You can't do this!"

The group remained unmoved by Zhou Mingyu's curses and questions, seemingly focused on setting up the venue.

He kept adjusting the position of the wooden cross and the Class Change Stone, and he was also holding a set of equipment, calculating something.

Based on the flow of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi), Wang An estimated that at least a dozen Class Change Stone had been placed around the area, combined with suitable energy nodes to achieve such a dramatic effect.

Judging from the placement of the 12 Class Change Stone in the center, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Qi gradually increases, converging and not dissipating.

They appear to be setting up a localized chamber containing high-density Heaven and Earth Qi.

However, this air chamber was different from the pure air chamber that Wang An wanted to set up. It contained five or six kinds of Heaven and Earth Qi, which were intertwined and extremely chaotic.

"I'm warning you, our country's Special Recovery Squad operate in this area."

"If you don't release me, my other teammates will go back and call the police when they find us missing."

"None of you will escape if you encounter them."

Zhou Mingyu sensed the increasingly uneasy atmosphere and their bizarre arrangements and behavior, and grew more and more panicked, eventually resorting to threats.

Faced with his threats, the foreigner in the blue robe scoffed, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

"Mr. Zhou, rest assured, after I offer you as sacrifices to the great gods..."

"Then we'll obtain a powerful profession bestowed by the gods, and we won't have to fear your Hua Country special forces anymore."

Zhou Mingyu didn't know if this group of people had such abilities.

As his body and mind grew weaker, he felt increasing fear and hatred towards this group of people, while also feeling deep regret.

I don't know why I Ghost-Confounded Mind, thinking that these foreigners would help me find a job.

The variety of facial expressions he displayed was truly captivating.

He knew that unless someone discovered the group's plot, given the cultists' fanaticism, they would likely be in grave danger, so he continued shouting.

"You bunch of foreign devils will die a horrible death!"

"Help! Murder! There's a cult here..."

"This group is actually a cult."

"And the idea of getting a profession by sacrificing to gods doesn't sound very reliable."

Wang An was somewhat surprised. How could this cult be so certain that sacrificing to gods would grant one a profession?

Based on the information he has received so far, there seems to be almost no pattern to his career choices.

Judging from the first profession humans took up [intelligent life form], it is very likely that it was a profession that anyone could take up.

However, for some reason, only a small percentage of people have successfully secured employment.

He had previously speculated that it was very likely orchestrated by the mastermind behind the meteorite's impact on Earth.

Of course, it's also possible that he harbors some conspiracy theories, or that the Class Change Stone is more approachable to certain people, which is why he was able to secure the position.

The job requirements outlined in the Profession Guidance suggest that the specific jobs they seek may require these rituals and procedures to meet certain criteria.

Wang An quickly used the [Profession Guidance] tool to find out the job requirements for cult positions.
