One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 969 Discussing Other Matters to Allay Concerns
The monitoring center can accurately locate the jade tablet and bring the holder there. The most important magical artifact is a [Hun Tian Yi] personally forged by Shi Zi Lang, while the most basic technology comes from Li Chunfeng.

Back then, before Hu Xiuwu ascended to the throne of the Underworld, he went to Shaanxi with his elder brother Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to collect things. They then entered the Fishbone Temple, where they met the Snake God for the first time, thus beginning a karmic entanglement with the Snake God that lasted for thousands of years.

Hu Xiuwu acquired Luo Fengtian's predecessor, the Ghost Tomb. It was with the help of the magic artifact, the Armillary Sphere, left by Li Chunfeng, and by using the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique, that he was able to accurately locate the Inner Hidden Abyss beneath the Fishbone Temple and pilot the Ghost Tomb back to the mortal realm from the void.

It was at that time that Hu Xiuwu and his group were stopped by Lao Meng, which marked their first encounter with Na Dutong. It was also after that that Hu Xiuwu met Chen Duo for the first time when he and Na Dutong collaborated to explore the Yunnan Insect Valley.

Not only did Na Du Tong discover the Muchen Pearl in the Yunnan Insect Valley, but he also used the special terrain of the Yunnan Insect Valley to build the Dark Fortress·Insect Valley on the spot. Even though the Ghost Cave destroyed the most core and precious terrain of the Insect Valley and broke the winding feng shui pattern.

However, the remaining mountains and waters of Insect Valley can still be considered a treasure land. The Dark Fortress Insect Valley is specifically responsible for researching various ancient creatures and Gu worms, and using its special feng shui environment to cultivate rare herbs.

Hu Xiuwu initially did not tell Na Du Tong about the existence of the [Ghost Tomb]. One may not have the intention to harm others, but one should not be without the intention to guard against others.

But just because Hu Xiuwu didn't say anything doesn't mean that Na Du Tong didn't investigate.

As Hu Xiuwu's status rose, Na Du Tong's investigation into Li Chunfeng became more and more detailed and in-depth.

No one in Na Du Tong's upper echelons is a fool. Li Chunfeng has a great deal of connection with the Shangqing Sect and the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu.

The other things left behind by Li Chunfeng may also contain other secrets.

Whether it was a coincidence or Li Chunfeng's deliberate act, Na Du Tong actually discovered Li Chunfeng's handwritten design for the Armillary Sphere and a layout plan for the Ghost Tomb in a small Taoist temple near the ancient city of Chang'an.

Na Du Tong thus learned the background and consequences of the [Netherworld Tomb].

Of course, Na Du Tong wouldn't question the Emperor about this, nor would they dare to.

Only those eccentric sorcerers, as if they had obtained a divine book, studied it day and night in the hidden fortress, neglecting to eat or sleep.

Finally, more than a year ago, they replicated the "Hun Tian Yi" (a magical instrument) which can locate the feng shui position of the earth by using the trajectory of celestial stars. With the help of the "Hun Tian Yi" and the "Location Jade Tablet", they were able to move the target back to the monitoring center.

The Dark Fortress Listening Center continues its research, with the ultimate goal of being able to freely move and relocate Inhumans holding [Location Jade Tokens] throughout the country to enhance the mobility of combat units.

Yuan Shixiao was filled with curiosity about many things and instruments in the Dark Fortress Listening Center. She had never seen so many high-tech devices at once before.

Although the name of the listening center is a bit cliché, its layout and equipment all have a sub-modern feel.

However, after giving Yuan Shixiao a brief introduction to the functions of the Bunker Listening Center, Huang Boren did not go into further detail about the Bunker Listening Center.

This is the bunker, a top-secret national unit. Many things inside are kept secret. Even many employees within the Nadotong (a Chinese telecom company) are unaware of the bunker's structure or its coordinates.

Huang Boren could not possibly lead the way in violating discipline:

"If you want to learn more about the Dark Fortress Listening Center, you'll have to join it."

Yuan Shixiao immediately withdrew his curious gaze and pursed his lips: "Forget it, being trapped in this place where you can't see any strangers for years or decades, what's the difference between that and being in prison?"

Upon hearing Yuan Shixiao's complaints, Huang Boren immediately stopped and looked at Yuan Shixiao seriously for the first time:
"Here, you can clearly know that you are fighting for the development of the country! You can clearly feel that you are one of those nameless patriots heading towards the stars and the sea!"

"Your struggles and your dedication will be etched in history." Huang Boren solemnly said, "My name may be unknown, but my achievements will live on forever!"

The members of the current bunkers are almost all former employees of NaDuTong.

These people have no official positions, no titles, and no identities. They are based in the bunker, researching top-secret missions that cannot be spoken to others.

If it weren't for the fire in my heart that never went out...

How could it possibly illuminate the way forward!

Yuan Shixiao was slightly moved, his face flushed from the alcohol, but he unconsciously took two steps back before calming down, his voice a little hoarse:

"The road you described is too scorching and hot. Just watching it makes my throat feel like it's on fire! If I were to actually set foot on it, I wouldn't be able to make it to the end."

A moment of emotion is not enough to sustain a lifetime of career.

Yuan Shixiao prefers swordsmanship and is more willing to study swordsmanship. She enjoys sparring with others. If she is asked to stay in one place for a long time without moving, she will only dare to watch after calming down and will not dare to step into the scene.

“Of course, of course.” Huang Boren nodded, without saying anything else. “Not many people have such a noble spirit. I’m just an ordinary person.”

Huang Boren said self-deprecatingly, "If I had such sentiments, I should have told Chairman Zhao when I was reforming All-Tong that I should have insisted on staying in the secret bunker, hiding my identity, and keeping my achievements hidden."

But in the end, he stayed at Nadutong.
Perhaps it wasn't because of the power of Na Du Tong, but it's possible that they hoped to gain public approval after Na Du Tong went from the shadows to the light.

We're all men; we don't seek power, we seek fame!

Huang Boren said no more. He had just reached the meeting room, so he opened the door and extended his hand to invite Yuan Shixiao:
"Come on, what we are doing now is also contributing to the country."

Yuan Shixiao walked into the conference room that Huang Boren had opened without any resistance.

Amidst laughter and conversation, Huang Boren had largely dispelled Yuan Shixiao's wariness.

Click!

After Yuan Shixiao entered the conference room, Huang Boren immediately locked the door, turned on the signal jammer in the conference room, and then took out a stone basin that he had prepared in advance from the cabinet in the conference room.
Huang Boren placed the stone basin in the center of the conference table.

Yuan Shixiao craned her neck to look, but she didn't see the famous Congkuan bench from Na Du Tong. Instead, Huang Boren brought over a stone basin to "entertain" her.

The stone basin had a simple appearance with no decorations, except for runes and symbols carved on its rim. Yuan Shixiao couldn't identify the material of the basin either, so she could only ask Huang Boren:

"Old man, what is this? Is it a new magical artifact developed by the Dark Fortress to distinguish between truth and falsehood?"

Huang Boren joked, "You young man, you don't even have as wide a range of interests as this old man."

"This is an alchemical artifact from England. It is a very precious and rare treasure in the Ministry of Magic and the Emerald Society. If the Fengdu Trade Market hadn't opened, we really wouldn't have been able to find it."

"This stone basin is from England, a meditation basin crafted by a great wizard!"
