Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Surge in Spiritual Qi, Blue Star’s Area Expands, Can the Heavenly Dao Break Through?
Longdu, Maintenance Department Headquarters.
"Hahahaha, I never thought the Kimchi Empire would see such a day, truly delightful!"
Li Long threw his head back in laughter, only stopping when he coughed because he couldn’t catch his breath.
Just moments ago, he received a call from his superior, and the news filled him with immense joy.
The reason was that the Kimchi Empire couldn’t hold on anymore; their nation was on the brink of collapse!
Their game manifestation was a high-tech apocalypse game where mecha or machine guns could be used to mow down zombies or mutant flora and fauna.
However, as time passed, the zombies and mutant creatures grew stronger, rendering their mecha and machine guns increasingly ineffective.
Now, the entire nation was in imminent danger, and they hurriedly sought rescue from neighboring countries.
The Ninjas couldn’t help themselves, the Superpower Empire scorned them, and their old protector wouldn’t come to their aid.
Then they thought about requesting help from Huaxia.
Who would have thought there would be a day when the Kimchi Country would seek help from them, just thinking about it makes him happy.
"So Master Li, should we send people over?"
"Send them, why wouldn’t we? Now they’re the ones asking us for help, and whatever terms there are, we dictate them. You send some people over first, and I’ll report to the higher-ups to negotiate."
Dispatch them now, help them, and then mockingly return the favor.
He had long been displeased with the Kimchi Empire, as the citizens of that nation often targeted Huaxia, becoming a source of hatred for many.
Now that he had the chance to embarrass them, why not go? Not only go but leave a resounding impact!
"Yes, I will immediately arrange for personnel to be sent over."
"Alright, and when the time comes, make sure to make things difficult for them, so they don’t think getting help is easy."
"Understood."
...
That evening.
A powerful cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage led a group to set out, with ten in the Golden Core and a hundred in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
With an imposing display of sword flight, they flew toward the Kimchi Empire.
In just two hours, they eradicated all zombies and mutant creatures in the not-so-large area of the Kimchi Empire.
Stunning the entire population of the Kimchi Empire.
They had fought tooth and nail, even risking their lives, but couldn’t defeat the zombies.
They were on the brink of national annihilation.
Yet the people from Huaxia came and obliterated them all in the blink of an eye?
What was going on?
Huaxia successfully gained fame and intimidated all directions.
From that night onward, the world knew of Huaxia, and it became something more formidable.
It seemed to transform from a mighty lion into a genuine Huaxia dragon!
And this aid, like a dragon’s roar, echoed across the globe.
...
The next day.
Last night’s events were reported nationwide, known by everyone.
No one expected the country to have accomplished such a major feat overnight.
However, this matter was quickly overshadowed by the manifestation of demon beasts.
In just ten minutes, 24 hours would pass, and the demon beasts were set to manifest again.
There were more of them this time, stronger, and even included those from the Demon Realm.
Huaxia was growing increasingly perilous.
"This is too difficult; I hope those big shots can step in and resolve this."
"By the way, why haven’t we seen Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao take action?"
"What level are these demon beasts? Do they even warrant their intervention? We can handle it ourselves."
"Exactly, that’s the grandeur of the big shots, just envious."
"By the way, are the elixirs manifesting tomorrow?"
"Should be, they haven’t appeared today, so it must be tomorrow."
People were in panic, all worried about this demon beast manifestation.
The most concerning was the so-called Demon Realm, and what it truly was.
...
Qindu University, rooftop.
Chen Lan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky.
This time, he planned to act.
The reason for his action was to test a theory.
He found that every time the demon beasts manifested, as soon as they were all defeated, the next wave would immediately be arranged.
It was like an endless game; if they eliminated them quickly, the demon beasts would appear faster.
Why not speed up the game’s progression?
Currently, it was too slow.
Silently he waited for time to pass.
Rumble!
The sky filled with dark clouds, and thunder rolled.
The Voice of Hongmeng echoed once again.
[Demon Realm manifests, Blue Star’s area increases tenfold again!]
Suddenly, the entire world shook, buildings trembled, the ground cracked, and people ran for their lives.
Chen Lan used his Divine Sense to observe the entire Blue Star, and indeed, it had increased tenfold, especially Huaxia.
The distance between cities grew; what used to be over ten thousand kilometers from Haidu City was now at least a hundred thousand kilometers!
Many unknown territories appeared, but these differed from the ones before.
This time, they came with ancient-feeling structures, resembling civilizations.
There were cave entrances hidden behind waterfalls, with stone tables and chairs inside.
There were caves deep in mountains, equipped with terrifying instruments of torture.
Even in the deep sea, there was a grand palace resembling the legendary Atlantis, filled with countless treasures of gold and silver!
The appearance of many unknown and ancient civilized realms made Chen Lan feel like it was a fusion of two worlds!
This so-called increase in area was likely the slow merging of two worlds, thus splitting and expanding, eventually becoming one.
At that moment, Chen Lan sensed that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had increased again, even becoming more refined.
Suddenly, his eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth lifted.
So that’s how it is!
He understood, understood the words of the Heavenly Dao.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao said the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi increased, and cultivation was slowly recovering, even the overall defense of Blue Star was strengthened.
This was the reason, the fusion of two worlds, how could it not grow stronger?
The Spiritual Qi from the Demon Realm flowing in, how could it not increase?
And it, as the sole Heavenly Dao of Blue Star, wielded the powers of both worlds, how could its strength not recover?
It’s highly likely the Heavenly Dao could seize this opportunity to make a breakthrough in its own cultivation.
The increase of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was felt by everyone across the country.
"Whoa, I feel like the air has become so refreshing."
"This is Spiritual Qi, not air, everyone quickly absorb it, increase your cultivation!"
"Here it comes, such pure Spiritual Qi, and the area increase brings so many benefits, amazing!"
"Ah~ my cultivation has increased, I’ve broken through to the middle Foundation Establishment stage!"
"Hey, dude, why are you shouting so creepily, you’re giving me goosebumps."
"Regular folks, don’t just stand there, Spiritual Qi is very useful, quickly absorb it, it can extend your life!"
At the mention of a longer life, ordinary people couldn’t hold back, hurriedly taking deep breaths, fearing they couldn’t absorb more than others.
Indeed, Spiritual Qi is not only beneficial to cultivators but also tremendously advantageous to regular humans.
It’s comparable to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; absorbing more could even prolong life.
The entire nation began a phase of deep breathing exercises.
Meanwhile, the Demon Realm began to
manifest!
