It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 354: The Beginning of Qi Training! and the Wizard Registration Act

The rolling mountains undulate like waves, covered with lush green trees.

The long rivers meander like the blood vessels of the earth, tracing back to the distant and mysterious snow-capped mountains.

Whether it is the vast sea of glaciers or the yellow sand desert.

Or maybe it’s the star-like lights in a bustling city that are like the stars in the night sky.

It encompasses the entire world, including the four oceans and seven continents, every place and every space.

As spiritual energy permeates and spreads across heaven and earth, certain invisible and unknowable tiny changes are quietly taking place.

It reaches the blue sky, even beyond the nine heavens, and it reaches below the nine earths, even deeper under the earth's crust.

------

On the vast Gobi Desert, a convoy of military vehicles meandered forward like a long dragon.

At first, they were still galloping on the national highway, but at some point, these military vehicles quietly deviated from the road and drove unswervingly towards an unknown direction.

The surroundings are desolate, with no village in front and no shop behind. There is only wind and sand to accompany me, and it is lonely and silent.

I don’t know how long we will continue to travel like this.

If the soldiers in the carriage had not had solemn faces and focused eyes, like sculptures, without the slightest sign of wavering, then the old Taoist priest with an sage-like demeanor sitting in the carriage would have inevitably become suspicious.

However, the old Taoist priest has some ideas about what is happening now.

After all, the world is changing with each passing day, and earth-shaking changes are happening almost every day. Everyone knows that things are going to change.

Not to mention anything else.

The brutal acts of a group of alien monks who came to the mortal world not long ago and fought all the way to the British mainland in search of something were enough to shock the world.

Such news spread like wildfire and could not be suppressed. Naturally, it shocked the world.

Even ordinary people couldn't help but shout that they also wanted to learn Taoism and cultivate immortality, showing an unprecedented enthusiasm for this.

As a professional in this industry, it is impossible for me to have no thoughts or ideas at all.

Especially after the turmoil ended, everything seemed to have calmed down, like the ripples on a lake after a storm.

Although there was another small incident in the middle...

The darkness of the night came silently, pouring down like ink, covering the sky over London and even the whole of Britain...

Finally, outside the sea, it collided with another unknown force, setting off a short and fierce battle, which quickly faded away and left nothing behind...

——To this day, no one has been able to confirm what exactly happened that night, what kind of contest it was, and what caused it all.

But after that, the rescue and relief work under the banner of humanitarian rescue went exceptionally smoothly.

Countless volunteers, rescue teams and international friends have extended a helping hand, like the warm sun in winter, bringing warmth and hope to the disaster-stricken areas in London.

It is even reported on the news every day, and frontline reporters can be seen following up on the reports every day.

Even though what is reported every day is how many disaster victims have been evacuated and how much aid has been provided, behind the numbers are the efforts and contributions of countless people.

It seems that while recording the progress of the rescue work, it also invisibly sublimates the spirit of internationalism and conveys the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.

however.

Only those who are very naive, simple and naive would believe that this was truly a selfless, noble, upright and selfless rescue operation.

When a country is in trouble, allies will lend a helping hand...

The whole process exudes a full humanitarian brilliance...

——Tsk tsk, that sounds really beautiful.

The fact is that in this world full of interests and survival struggles, nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface, and there are more complex considerations and calculations behind it.

Especially the directionality of various clues and signs at present is so obvious.

Even ordinary people couldn't help but wonder what benefits the country had gained from London, which had become a battlefield wasteland.

Have we excavated anything of great value from the remaining ruins?

The old Taoist priest also had some doubts before, but now, his doubts have been almost confirmed.

Because in almost every car in this convoy, there is a professional like him.

They are either experienced and highly respected seniors, or talented, young and gifted youngsters. Basically, they are talents carefully selected from the domestic religious community.

It is also very likely to be among the first to be selected.

From this point of view, it is clear that the country must intend to use the power of these professionals to uncover or confirm something.

Those who are selected are not stupid, and naturally they have all figured this out.

Some people take it indifferently, while others are very excited.

They looked at the endless Gobi Desert outside the window and thought secretly in their hearts as the convoy moved forward.

Until the convoy stopped somewhere in the Gobi Desert, the group entered a secret military restricted area. After a series of strict inspections, they finally entered a large underground structure.

The field of restoration has been making great progress, supported by visualization device technology.

Those once broken buildings and collapsed roads seemed to be cast with magic overnight and regained vitality...

——If London had not been almost completely razed to the ground and suffered serious damage, then if only part of the city was destroyed, it would really not take more than a few days to recover...

Similarly, the application of this black technology has also provided tremendous help to the construction field.

Those large-scale projects that were once considered incredible or required countless manpower and material resources to complete can now be easily built in a flash as long as you are willing to invest.

And the quality is excellent, totally passable.

The group was very well-behaved. They did not make any remarks or move around randomly. Instead, they followed the guidance and walked through areas with various slogans, guard posts and heavy protections.

Finally, they stopped in front of a brand new metal gate that had obviously been recently completed.

The person in charge has been waiting in front of the door for a long time.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he swept across the group of "professionals" who were either old or middle-aged, but all wore Taoist robes of different styles, and whose temperament and spirit were obviously different from those of ordinary people.

Taking into account the tendencies shown by the samples, as well as the security and confidentiality of the project, the first batch of testers recruited was very limited, and they were all Taoists.

There are no other religious figures yet.

Matching majors with students and putting what you learn into practice is the ardent expectation of this project.

However, if it doesn't go smoothly, then he will have to consider adding a control group later... Of course, he still hopes that it can go smoothly.

"Everyone, since you have come here, I believe you have already understood it to some extent, so I will not repeat the precautions..."

The person in charge cleared his throat and spoke.

He was very direct and straightforward, and he didn't say anything like asking everyone to think carefully about whether they wanted to participate or that this was the last chance to withdraw.

Are you kidding? Those who can get here have all gone through multiple screenings and confirmations beforehand. Now they have signed confidentiality agreements, entered the top-secret base, and have all arrived at this gate...

How can it be possible to just quit if you don't have enough determination?

"We are jointly participating in a major project. It is foreseeable that it will be long and difficult. No one can be sure whether or when results will be produced. But I believe that as long as we work together and make joint efforts..."

The person in charge said this while gesturing with his hand.

Those serious-looking soldiers also stepped forward and distributed confidential documents one by one.

Under the gaze of the person in charge, many people's breathing became heavy involuntarily, as if they could hear the roar of their own heartbeats. They tried hard to suppress the complex emotions surging in their hearts and slowly turned to the first page.

The enlarged and bold black font on it clearly catches the eye:

"Basic Qi Training Techniques." - A very lame name.

If it is placed in any fantasy novel, it will feel like a piece of low-brow, common stuff.

However, if it were in reality, after numerous scrutiny and secret contacts, and after a series of preparations, he would arrive at a top-secret national base...

Then, with some mental preparation, I turned to the page and saw this line of bold black font...

That feeling is completely different.

These five simple words carry an indescribable power that strikes deep into the soul.

At this moment, even if people were mentally prepared, the sudden shock made it almost impossible for many people to control themselves.

Their arms began to tremble, their bodies shook slightly, and their eyes turned red involuntarily. If they had not tried their best to restrain themselves, they would have almost torn up the documents in their hands.

Even so, those arms subconsciously exerted extremely strong force, and the fingers turned white from excessive force, causing bursts of subtle and strange sounds to be heard between the pages.

"This is...this is..."

The old Taoist priest with a sage-like appearance also raised his head and couldn't help but look in the direction of the person in charge.

As if knowing what the old Taoist wanted to ask, the latter nodded: "It's true, although we are not sure whether it will be useful, but..."

“Its provenance is OK.”

Because this information comes from a fragment of a jade slip, and it is part of the information extracted from it.

In essence, it may be an ultra-micro memory chip with an extremely complex internal structure and an unimaginable high-density information storage capacity.

Just in terms of simple information storage and retrieval——

The performance it demonstrates has far surpassed the limits of modern technology by many times.

Whether it is text, images, or abstract and subtle "feeling" information such as cultivation experience, it can all be preserved and reproduced in this small jade slip fragment.

Based on relevant experiments and speculations, the current conclusion is that it must have a unique encryption protection mechanism under normal circumstances, using advanced encryption algorithms and unknown storage principles...

Perhaps it also has magical properties such as self-powered system, wireless transmission and resonant memory.

By using a bio-similar neural network algorithm to associate the participants' inputs, it is possible to transmit those "feeling"-like messages to the depths of the reader's consciousness.

In short, there are many speculations on this aspect.

If the jade slip hadn't been damaged, it might have just lost that part of the information security protection system...

If it wasn't for the special energy that was drawn from a sample of a dagger that was recovered earlier, it could resonate with it...

So……

It may take a very long time to produce results.

Or, there is no chance of producing results at all.

Thinking of this, the person in charge couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't care whether there was any conspiracy theory or too much coincidence.

Those things are not his responsibility, so just leave them to the think tank to discuss.

All he has to do is to be responsible for the current project, which is to verify whether the extracted information is correct.

The world is undergoing tremendous changes, and those who cannot keep up will sooner or later be eliminated.

——Practice Qi!
——There is no time to lose!
………………

………………

It is no coincidence.

A similar thing is happening on the other side of the ocean.

The reason they say it is a similar thing instead of the same thing is because they think it is necessary to take another path.

Only in this way can we overtake others.

"There are enough clues that the Chinese have obtained something, but we can't stop it, and we can't confirm it..."

"No, no, no, there is no point in putting pressure on us, and they don't care about us. Because China is not the China it used to be, and the United States is not the United States it used to be..."

"We must realize that the coming era is not friendly to us. Those monsters are clearly related to their cultural origins. They seem to be unimaginable beings from the ancient times in their legends..."

The highly respected professional reiterated his opinion with a serious face.

Even when facing the president, politicians, and powerful senior military personnel, his attitude was extremely impolite.

But it must be said that it is precisely this kind of impoliteness and the exposition of the pros and cons that make those political creatures feel quite convincing and seem more credible.

"The cultural divide means it's difficult for us to follow their path directly!"

"I have tried my best to understand their classics. God, even if I were born and raised in that culture, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to understand those obscure metaphysical theories..."

"Compared to them, do we really have any advantage at all?!"

"So, gentlemen! We have to think of a solution!"

"..."

"..."

The president and the others looked at each other, and then subconsciously looked not far away.

Opposite the observation window was the interior of a laboratory with layers of protection. In the incubator at the center was a head that had been severed from the neck...

He looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties, with silver hair...

It is also their biggest recycling achievement so far.

"Is this what you call the wizard's path?" The President thought for a moment and then asked.

"That's right." The scientific master on the other side nodded affirmatively, "The head we recovered retains a certain vitality. As long as we maintain its activity, provide stimulation, and perform neural readings..."

“We can always get useful information from it.”

"I think the so-called wizards are more suitable for us."

— is like a hellish joke.

——Both sides have obtained very special "information storage containers" and will take different paths based on them.

The president and others looked at each other and thought silently.

"The technology for the manifestation device is readily available, and the wizards themselves are also special. From the current information, the first great air disaster was caused by their elven magic..."

"That was the strongest space earthquake that killed 150 million people and tore apart the Eurasian continent. From this point of view, the future is promising..."

“It’s all conditions that are more in line with our current situation and I think it’s the more appropriate route.”

Painstaking persuasion is still useful.

Perhaps it was because the first major air disaster thirty years ago was too convincing, and its power was too obvious, which made those in power excited.

"Then—"

"Choose this one!"

The President looked at the others again, took a deep breath, and punched fiercely.

"Since we have the advantage, let's not wait any longer... Next, we need to introduce the Wizard Registration Act as soon as possible!"

Of course, this is the same old routine.

Before things are even done, they are eager to set standards and demonstrate their own voice.
