In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen top-tier immortal sects were annihilated.
This news spread rapidly throughout the cultivation world, reaching almost every cultivator above the Foundation Establishment stage. Even those who secluded themselves in the mountains for cultivation were summoned back by their sect elders to discuss countermeasures.
Many didn’t believe it and secretly visited the ruins of various immortal sects. After seeing the ruins, their mouths hung open, unable to articulate their shock, and then fell silent.
What kind of power could cause such a scene? The crucial point was that without exception, the gates of all these immortal sects had suffered the same fate, turning into gradually flooding pits. And now, a month had passed, yet there was still no movement from the cultivators of these sects, leaving people to wonder if they had already perished.
After this event, the cultivation world was in an uproar, reaching a point where everyone felt endangered, weighing the fate of their own sects and whether they could withstand such an attack!
Even top-tier sects like the “Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks” and the “Six-lines Transformation Gate” couldn’t withstand it. No sect maintained an optimistic attitude, thinking they were the exception.
To this day, the vast majority of cultivators dare not stay in their sects for cultivation, fearing that one day their sects might inexplicably turn into pits, and they wouldn’t even know how they died.
Some investigated the origins of the incident and found a common trait among the dozen or so sects turned into pits—they had united to monopolize all the “factories” of a place called the “Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce” in Huayang Beizhou!
Yes, “factories,” although they didn’t understand what it meant, that’s what the news said.
So the answer was obvious!
This discovery sent shivers down the spines of these cultivators. Who exactly was this “Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce” to possess such power, destroying more than a dozen immortal sects overnight, especially when none of them had ever heard of it?
Terrifying upon reflection!
They then sent people to quietly investigate both inside and outside Morling City, and later personally inspected the area. Upon arriving in Morling City, these cultivators suddenly realized they were somewhat out of touch with the times, filled with doubts: “Since when can ordinary people afford magical tools?”
Mind you, genuine cultivators were still struggling with the shortage of suitable magical tools!
Unexpectedly, upon arriving in Morling City, they discovered that, goodness, almost every household could afford magical tools!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen they investigated the factories, goodness, magical tools were being mass-produced!
Upon arriving at the “Spiritualization Water Station,” goodness, artificial spiritual stones!
These people suddenly understood why more than a dozen immortal sects had united to target this place. They were filled with various desires, thinking to themselves, “We should seize them! Seize them!! Seize them!!!”
However, the sight of the dozen big pits dampened all their fervent thoughts, cooling them off completely!
Inner conflict!
Wanting again, fearful of death!
If they didn’t act, it would be a slow death, their own sects would eventually be eroded and consumed, unable and unwilling to resist. If they did act, it would be a swift death, and their mountain gates might very well become big pits!
So the question arises, what should they do?
A group of old foxes quickly found a solution: “What others do, I do!”
It doesn’t matter if I don’t know how, I’ll just copy. If I can’t even copy, then it’s deserved destruction!
…
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the central area of Morling City, the largest main city in Huayang Beizhou, within the headquarters building of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
A middle-aged man with a beautiful beard flipped through the documents on his desk, not lifting his head as he said, “Come in.”
A tall and intelligent-looking woman pushed open the door and entered. Her tasteful formal attire outlined her graceful figure, and she had a faint smile on her face, but it was evident she was nervous as she said, “President Feng, did you call for me?”
Feng Xianglong’s appearance remained unchanged over the years as he gestured, “Xiao Lan, please sit.”
Xiao Lan sat down as instructed.
Feng Xianglong handed a document from his desk to Xiao Lan and said, “This promotion plan for spiritual products in Wanghui Hai Prefecture, it’s under your responsibility, right? Tell me, why hasn’t there been any progress in the renovation plan over there?”
Xiao Lan took a deep breath, calmed her panic, and then said slowly, “President Feng, initially Wanghui Hai was quite cooperative. All aspects of the work progressed smoothly, and even the top-tier immortal sect, Yin Yang Reflection Pool, signed a cooperation agreement with us. However, just as we were about to succeed, something happened within Yin Yang Reflection Pool. They suddenly tore up the agreement and destroyed all our preliminary construction! Our staff also suffered losses of over two hundred people because of this, and we are currently actively negotiating with them…”
Feng Xianglong frowned and interrupted directly, “What negotiation? Report directly to the ‘Vanguard Demolition Team’ to level Yin Yang Reflection Pool.”
Xiao Lan hesitated, “But… it’s not just Yin Yang Reflection Pool. All the major and minor immortal sects in Wanghui Hai are opposing us, and even the ignorant commoners are unusually hostile towards us. Without the support of the local immortal sects, the plan will be difficult to implement. Based on my analysis, they want to raise the stakes…”
Feng Xianglong asked, “Which graduating class are you from?”
Xiao Lan didn’t understand why the president asked this question, so she honestly replied, “The second class.”
Feng Xianglong said, “I’m also from the second class! I remember Vice Dean Yue Ying’s classes on ‘Social Cognition’ and ‘History and Revolution of Cultivation.’ He talked about how to handle this kind of situation!”
Xiao Lan had a good memory and nodded, “He talked about… saying, ‘The wheels of history roll forward, and anyone or anything daring to stand in the way of progress will be crushed into powder. We are not afraid to crush them and actively do so. As long as after the crushing, a new order is established on the ruins, years later, people will live happier under the new order… In such a context, compassion becomes a burden to progress…'”
Feng Xianglong said, “Indeed, you are an excellent student who remembers everything after so many years! Xiao Lan, let me remind you one last time, put away your indifferent compassion. I can tell you plainly, those two hundred-plus people of ours died because of you! Alright, you can go now. I’ll give you three more months. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll replace you, and you can go back to studying at the academy.”
Xiao Lan almost cried, her face full of despair as she left the office.
Feng Xianglong let out a long sigh and made a note on the document.
After a while, a cold and elegant secretary walked in and handed a document to Feng Xianglong, saying, “President, the Starry Sky Research Team has rejected our research plan and insists on implementing the ‘Road Construction + Signal Base Station’ plan. It is said to be arranged by Vice Commander Yue Ying of the Research Headquarters, with the aim of advancing comprehensive informatization as quickly as possible, connecting the entire continent for real-time information exchange.”
Feng Xianglong felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples and said helplessly, “This is wishful thinking. How could it be so easy? I wonder what Yue Ying is thinking.”
The secretary said expressionlessly, “It’s not wishful thinking. According to the latest news, the Starry Sky Research Team has already developed the first stable ‘Personal Spiritual Computer,’ which is expected to be sent to the headquarters building via ‘Starry Sky Express’ this afternoon.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFeng Xianglong widened his eyes in disbelief. “So fast?”
The secretary said, “It is said that the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals personally participated in this project some time ago, which greatly accelerated the progress.”
Feng Xianglong’s mouth twitched. It seemed that Feng Tang, that brat, was causing trouble again.
It’s not easy to sit in his position all these years! Many things were originally arranged smoothly, but Feng Tang would suddenly have a brainwave and interfere randomly!
Feng Tang didn’t understand the laws of social development at all!
When encountering dissatisfaction, he would readily resort to violence, not even allowing others to finish their words properly. He was simply acting like a tyrant.
Over the years, Feng Tang’s style had even been influenced and become more brutal…
Originally, he could have ignored it and done things his own way, but Yue Ying, who controlled the entire academy, listened to Feng Tang without question, almost reaching the point of blind loyalty. He even suspected that if Feng Tang asked Yue Ying to stab him a few times, Yue Ying wouldn’t even frown and would just do it!
Having such a willful nephew and such a loyal vice dean, he, Feng Xianglong, was in a dilemma…
What to do?
What else could he do but play along with his nephew!
“And now, as a Golden Core realm cultivator, I have a lifespan of over three hundred years! Hehe… hahaha… No matter how things turn out, it doesn’t matter anymore! Just like what Feng Tang said, we can always start over. After all, we have plenty of time!”
Just as Feng Xianglong was indulging in fantasies and couldn’t extricate himself, the secretary beside him reminded, “President, wake up. Now the average graduate of the academy is at the Golden Core realm. You are just an ordinary person!”
Feng Xianglong turned to look at the secretary’s exquisite face. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “You and I are no longer ordinary here! The trajectory of fate shifted more than a decade ago. How hopeless I was about cultivation before, and now how hopeful I am about the future.”
The secretary, upon hearing this, looked at Feng Xianglong’s exceptionally handsome face, exuding such strong charm, and for a moment, her heart was in turmoil, her thoughts swirling.
Then, she lowered her eyelids slightly, her cold expression tinged with a faint blush, unable to maintain her previous aloofness.
Ask yourself, which woman could maintain her innocence in the face of such mature charm from the president?
