Chapter 220 One or two of them, they just won't stop.
The Night Watch headquarters, the underground command center.
Zhao Mingyuan, the person in charge of the duty shift, was drinking tea. Tonight's shift was peaceful, with nothing major happening.
He's already starting to plan what to get for a late-night snack after get off work.
Just then, the door to the command center was suddenly pushed open!
Old Zhou, the head of the monitoring department, practically stormed in.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, he held an emergency report in his hand, and he was trembling all over.
"Old Zhao! Something terrible has happened!"
Zhao Mingyuan put down his teacup, frowned, and said, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
Old Zhou slammed the report on the table, his voice trembling: "See for yourself!"
Zhao Mingyuan picked up the report, glanced at it, and then...
His expression froze instantly.
"The spiritual energy vortex has a diameter exceeding five thousand miles? And it's still expanding? The spiritual energy of multiple secret realms has been extracted? The space itself is becoming unstable?"
He looked up at Old Zhou, his voice a little dry: "This...this is Master Li cultivating?"
Old Zhou nodded: "It should be."
Zhao Mingyuan swallowed hard, looked down at the data in the report again, and felt a chill run down his spine.
A spiritual energy vortex with a diameter of five thousand miles.
What does this mean?
This means that nearly half of the Great Xia was enveloped by this vortex.
Those secret realms from which spiritual energy was extracted are scattered throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, with the furthest being more than three thousand miles away from Lu County!
Extracting spiritual energy from a secret realm from three thousand miles away...
Is this really something a human could do?
Zhao Mingyuan was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, he turned around abruptly and walked quickly outside.
"I'll go report to General Manager Qin!"
President Qin's office.
Zhao Mingyuan didn't even have time to knock before pushing the door open and entering.
"President Qin! Something terrible has happened!"
President Qin was sitting behind his desk reviewing documents when he heard this. He looked up, frowned, and asked, "What is it?"
Zhao Mingyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice.
"An extremely large-scale spiritual energy fluctuation has been detected in the direction of Lu County. Master Li... Master Li is cultivating again."
Upon hearing this, President Qin paused for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively.
"Isn't it normal for Master Li's cultivation to cause unusual phenomena? What's the big deal?"
"Keep everything as usual."
Zhao Mingyuan shook his head, his expression grave.
"President Qin, this time is different."
President Qin put down the documents in his hand and looked at him.
"Why is it different?"
Zhao Mingyuan swallowed hard and began to report.
"First, the spiritual energy vortex this time is extremely large, with a diameter of five thousand miles, and it is still expanding."
"Secondly, the provinces directly enveloped by the vortex have now become almost desolate lands."
"Our equipment can barely detect the presence of spiritual energy anymore."
President Qin's expression changed from relaxed to serious.
Several provinces have become desolate lands?
What does this mean?
What exactly is Master Li practicing this time?
Just as he was about to ask a question, Zhao Mingyuan spoke again.
"Furthermore, Mr. Qin, there is a third point."
President Qin looked at him.
"explain."
Zhao Mingyuan took a deep breath.
"The spiritual energy vortex is now showing signs of absorbing spiritual energy from the secret realm."
"A secret realm located in a neighboring province has experienced spatial instability."
"I have already arranged for the evacuation of personnel from within the territory."
After listening, President Qin fell completely silent.
He sat in the chair, his mind blank.
Can one extract spiritual energy from a secret realm from a distance of thousands of miles during cultivation?
He had never even heard of such a thing, let alone imagined it.
But now, it has actually happened?
"Based on the current trend..." Zhao Mingyuan said cautiously, "if the vortex continues to expand, the source that sustains the secret realm may be drained, leading to the shattering of the secret realm."
President Qin remained silent for a long time.
Then, he slowly began to speak.
"I see."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside.
He couldn't see Lu County from here, but he could imagine that at this moment, over at Qingfeng Temple, the world must be in turmoil, with people falling in love with reading, starting with cola novels.
"President Qin?" Zhao Mingyuan asked tentatively from behind.
President Qin did not turn around.
He thought about it and realized that there was no point in thinking about it any further.
That huge vortex of spiritual energy was beyond his ability to stop.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Mingyuan.
"You did a good job."
"Pass on my order: have all personnel stationed in the other secret realms evacuate as well."
"At the same time... pay attention to guiding public opinion."
"This commotion will definitely have a huge impact."
Zhao Mingyuan nodded quickly.
"yes!"
He turned around and walked out quickly.
Only President Qin remained in the office.
He sat in the chair, lost in thought.
After Master Li finishes this cultivation, a tremendous change will definitely occur.
I just don't know what it will be.
Thinking of this, President Qin shook his head.
How could I possibly fathom the existence of someone like Master Li?
What he should be thinking about now is how to deal with the impact of this incident.
This time, the commotion is much greater than that on New Year's Eve.
Its impact on the world and even the entire globe will be far greater.
I just don't know exactly how far it will go.
Last time, it led to the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
this time……
What could it be?
As Mr. Qin pondered this, he suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He rubbed his temples, picked up his phone from the table, and scrolled to a number.
After hesitating for a moment, I still dialed the number.
The phone rang a few times before being answered.
"President Qin?" came the voice of Master Xuanming from the other end of the line.
"Senior, something has happened to Master Li again." President Qin got straight to the point.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Then, Master Xuanming spoke up: "This humble Taoist saw it."
"The sky here has changed."
President Qin was taken aback.
"Senior, can you see it from your end?"
"Hmm," said Daoist Xuanming. "I am in the South City, only a few hundred miles from Lu County. The night sky here has already been covered by a vortex of spiritual energy."
"Senior, what do you think?" President Qin asked.
Master Xuanming remained silent for a while.
Then, he slowly began to speak.
"This humble Taoist priest does not know either."
"But I know one thing."
"The stronger Master Li is, the better it is for Great Xia."
After listening, President Qin suddenly smiled.
Yes.
The stronger Master Li is, the better it is for the Great Xia.
Why are you worrying about this?
"You're right, senior," he said. "Then I won't bother you any longer."
"Hmm," Master Xuanming responded and hung up the phone.
President Qin put down his phone and leaned back in his chair.
He looked at the ceiling and let out a long sigh.
Forget it.
forget about it.
Once Master Li finishes his cultivation, he will naturally understand everything.
at the same time.
Qingfeng Temple.
In the corner of the yard, a seed that had just been planted was trembling slightly.
A faint golden light emanates from the surface of the soil.
The golden light was faint, but very firm.
It's as if it's responding to something.
Inside the tank, the arowana's body shone brighter and brighter.
Those golden lines had spread from the edges of the scales to the entire body of the fish.
The arowana remained motionless at the bottom of the water.
But its aura is rising at a terrifying speed.
The old Taoist priest sat at the stone table, watching all of this.
He glanced at Li Jun's room, then at the dragonfish in the water tank, and then at the faint golden light in the corner of the yard.
Then he smiled.
"They're all making a racket, one after another."
He shook his head and continued drinking his tea.
Under the moonlight, Qingfeng Temple sits quietly on the mountainside.
The blue tiles are mottled, and the courtyard walls are mottled.
But at this moment, this small Taoist temple is undergoing earth-shattering changes.
