Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Qiantang Gate Building is the largest office building in Qiantang City, located in the CBD business district. Many Fortune 500 companies have branches here, and some large companies have their headquarters here.

The top two floors of this office building have already been used by the government.

There is even a helicopter landing pad on the roof, where government officials can use helicopters to quickly travel to various parts of Qiantang City.

Yin Hang knew that this was the Qiantang City branch of the National Defense Crisis Management Bureau.

This government department wields immense power, as any extraordinary event falls under its jurisdiction.

A month ago, Yin Hang accidentally became involved in a supernatural case. He was the victim, and after the case was closed, he was rescued by the National Defense Crisis Management Bureau.

The victims are either directly erased from their memories by official superhuman cultivators, or they sign strict confidentiality agreements.

Yin Hang, who possessed a talent for cultivation, joined the department after receiving permission and began his cultivation.

For this reason, Yin Hang was once very proud of himself, thinking that he was the protagonist in the novel, who had a great opportunity, cultivated the supreme path, and won the heart of a fairy beauty.

However, a month later, he no longer has such thoughts.

He lacked great opportunities, and even his talent for cultivation was quite ordinary.

After entering the building, I swiped my card to take the elevator to the top floor, the 66th floor.

The entire 66th floor belongs to the Management Bureau. It occupies a large area, but there are not many people, making it seem quite empty.

The chairs in the room are all from famous brands, and even a random computer is worth tens of thousands of dollars, which is top-of-the-line, showing how wealthy this department is.

Several pretty female clerks were processing documents when they saw Yin Hang arrive, and they all greeted him with shining eyes.

Although they were clerical staff and external employees of the department, they were aware of the existence of the extraordinary.

They were curious and admiring of people like Yin Hang who were capable of internal cultivation, and they knew that these people had a bright future.

Yin Hang politely nodded to the female clerks and entered the inner room.

The room was small, and a man in his early thirties, wearing glasses and looking like a programmer, sat casually at the head of the table.

His name is Peng Shaoxun, also known as "Brother Peng" by Yin Hang. He is Yin Hang's superior and manages the Qiantang Branch of the National Defense Crisis Management Bureau.

Yin Hang didn't know how powerful Peng Ge was, but he knew that Peng Ge wielded a lot of power. He had seen the mayor of Qiantang City treat Peng Ge with great courtesy, as if he were an honored guest.

"Director Peng!"

In public, people are addressed by their job titles.

Peng Shaoxun glanced at Yin Hang and pointed to the side, saying, "Sit down."

Yin Hang sat down, with three colleagues beside him. They were all newcomers to the department in the past two months, and their cultivation levels were similar.

Seeing that all the newcomers had arrived, Peng Shaoxun instructed his secretary outside to pour everyone a cup of tea. After the secretary left and the door was closed, he made a hand seal.

Seeing the confused looks on his subordinates' faces, Peng Shaoxun adjusted his glasses and said casually, "It's just a very ordinary soundproof array, to prevent anyone from overhearing what I'm about to say."

Although he put it simply, everyone, including Yin Hang, was very excited.

Entering the extraordinary world for the first time, and this extraordinary world is also a world of cultivation, which Xia Kingdom person wouldn't be excited?

Who hasn't fantasized about flying on a sword, moving mountains and filling seas, or even being accompanied by fairies?

Even the simplest spells are something they envy, as they don't yet have the ability to use magic.

Peng Shaoxun's lips curled slightly. Although he held a high position and wielded great power, he was still quite young and always wanted to show off a little.

"Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point. Yin Hang, Zhang Yue, Ning Hongbo, Wei Hui, you've all been cultivating for one to two months, and... well, your talents are all pretty average."

He shook his head regretfully.

Yin Hang and the others felt awkward.

"Regardless of your talents, now that you've joined the Crisis Management Bureau, there are some basic supernatural information I need to tell you."

Yin Hang and the others quickly sat up straight, their hearts filled with excitement.

They've arrived! They can finally access a deeper part of the extraordinary world!

Peng Shaoxun explained, "The emergence of extraordinary power can also be understood as the revival of spiritual energy, which actually began in the 1960s."

"Back then, the Iron Alliance in the north hadn't broken up yet. You must have heard that the Iron Alliance had conducted many superpower experiments, and those experiments were real."

"Initially, spiritual energy had just begun to recover, and extraordinary powers were not yet apparent. Even those with superpowers had very weak abilities, at most they could bend a spoon or something."

"But everything changed with the appearance of the first 'reincarnated one'."

Yin Hang and the others whispered in unison, "A reincarnated being?"

Peng Shaoxun took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "Yes, reincarnated beings. They may come from the legendary world of cultivation, or from another world, or even from other planets."

"You can also think of it as time travel in online novels, but it's not people from Earth traveling to other worlds, but people from other worlds traveling to Earth."

"They are the cultivators and Taoist practitioners we know. These reincarnated beings brought with them a complete cultivation system, and from then on, the extraordinary truly began to become extraordinary."

Everyone swallowed hard. They never imagined that this so-called extraordinary, so-called spiritual revival would be like this.

Peng Shaoxun continued, "Initially, these reincarnated individuals had just been reincarnated and their cultivation was not strong, so firearms could kill them."

"Although the government attaches importance to this, it hasn't raised the level of vigilance to that high, especially since many of these people are willing to cooperate with the government."

"But everything changed with the appearance of a demonic cultivator."

"You all probably know about the incident in Tongshan County in the 1990s, where tens of thousands of people died, right?"

Yin Hang chimed in, "I know, it's not that Tongshan County encountered some kind of unknown virus and was even locked down at the time."

Peng Shaoxun sighed and said, "That's not some unknown virus at all; it's just something they're telling ordinary people."

"Actually, there was a reincarnated demonic cultivator who felt that proper cultivation was too slow, and since he had arrived in a new world, he should become a patriarch and ancestor, so he wanted to refine the Human Emperor Banner."

"In Tongshan County, he refined the flesh and souls of tens of thousands of people."

Yin Hang and his group felt a chill run down their spines and trembled all over.

The story of the Demon-Refining Banner is only mentioned in one sentence in the novel.

But if it actually happened in real life, it would be truly terrifying, making me fear that I might end up as a fellow practitioner.

After Peng Shaoxun and the others calmed down, he continued, "After this incident, the government paid more and more attention to and was more worried about these reincarnated people."

"But back then, in order to eliminate that demonic cultivator, we also lost a lot of people. As the reincarnated ones gradually become stronger through cultivation, the government will eventually lose control."

"But thankfully, a major event occurred in 1999!"

At this point, Peng Shaoxun paused again to take a sip of tea.

Yin Hang and the others scratched their heads in frustration.

Don't cut the story short, you piece-cutting dog!

Seeing that it was about time, Peng Shaoxun said:

"In 1999, a mountaineering team was caught in an avalanche in the Kunlun Mountains. They survived by chance and discovered a cave with mysterious writing inside."

"The government dispatched a scientific expedition team composed of several experts to investigate the cave, and they discovered a bronze coffin inside!"

"By the way, have you heard the story of King Mu of Zhou meeting the Queen Mother of the West?"

Everyone nodded. Yin Hang's heart skipped a beat, and he excitedly asked, "Could it be that the one inside that bronze coffin is the Queen Mother of the West?"

Peng Shaoxun nodded and then shook his head: "To be precise, the person in that bronze coffin is the prototype of the Queen Mother of the West."

"More than two thousand years ago, King Mu of Zhou mistakenly entered that cave and was affected by the formation inside, which caused him to hallucinate."

"He thought he had met the Queen Mother of the West and even attended the Jade Pool Banquet. He recorded all of this after he returned home."

"The one inside that bronze coffin is actually the Empress of the Great Yan!"

Everyone frowned and asked, "The Great Yan?"

Peng Shaoxun knew they had misunderstood: "It's not the Great Yan of the pre-Qin era, but the Great Yan from another world of cultivation. That's not an ordinary dynasty, but a dynasty with a destiny!"

Before Yin Hang and the others could raise any questions, Peng Shaoxun explained, "The so-called Yun Dynasty can also be called the Divine Dynasty or the Immortal Dynasty. You can also understand it as the Heavenly Court, a Heavenly Court named after a country."

"The Empress is the master of this Heavenly Court. This is an extremely difficult cultivation method, which uses the dynasty's fortune as the foundation for cultivation."

"If one cultivates a dynasty, its ruler will possess incredible power and will be able to bestow titles and honors, just like the Heavenly Court!"

"The Empress attained enlightenment through this method, reaching the Taiqing Realm. She bestowed titles upon eighteen Dao Lords and over three hundred Dongxuan Realm cultivators, ruling a celestial dynasty larger than the surface area of ​​present-day Earth, dominating the world!"

Although the crowd didn't quite understand, they were all shocked.

Holy crap, that's awesome! Isn't this the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly King?

It's definitely true that she's the Queen Mother of the West.

But the most terrifying thing is that this empress is in that bronze coffin. Does that mean she's still alive? Has she been reincarnated?

Peng Shaoxun guessed their thoughts and said with a smile, "You all already know that there are nine realms in cultivation, divided into the upper three realms, the middle three realms, and the lower three realms."

"Those who can become reincarnated are at least cultivators of the middle three realms, and among these cultivators, only the strongest group of the upper three realms have special reincarnations."

"They are not resurrected through possession, but their original bodies have been reincarnated."

"The Empress once said that she had reached the end of her life and should have passed away. That bronze coffin was the coffin she prepared for herself."

"But somehow, the coffin appeared in the Kunlun Mountains, and she came back to life in our world."

After a pause, Peng Shaoxun continued, "...You don't need to worry too much. The spiritual energy has just recovered, and even a great supernatural being like the Empress is subject to limitations and her cultivation level is restricted."

"Unless the spiritual energy fully recovers one day, she may not regain her invincible form."

"Moreover, this empress is also a collaborator with the government. It is thanks to her that we are able to restrict those reincarnated individuals and cultivators."

Yin Hang and the others asked curiously, "Why would this empress cooperate with the government?"

With such immense power residing within herself, and being practically a ruler of the heavens, she should be the only one worthy of respect, right?

Peng Shaoxun said calmly, "Now that you know about the dynasty, you should understand that the Empress's cultivation requires the nation's fortune, and our Xia Kingdom is currently experiencing a period of rapid national prosperity, which is very important to the Empress."

"As you all know, cultivation requires talent. Those old men above are too old to cultivate even if they have talent. What they fear most is the end of their lifespan."

"But if the Empress were to return to her prime, she could be granted an official title in the Celestial Dynasty, which would mean gaining hundreds or even thousands of years of lifespan and endless riches and honors."

"Those gentlemen are eager to cooperate with the Empress."

Yin Hang and the others then realized what was happening.

"Director Peng, what's that empress's name? Is it just called Empress?" someone asked curiously.

Peng Shaoxun shook his head: "Nobody knows what the Empress's name is. Maybe someone above knows, but I'm not qualified."

"All I know is that this empress's surname is Jiang. I'll probably know more about her when I get promoted and become rich."

Yin Hang quickly flattered, "Director Peng, with your talent and ability, you're sure to get promoted and make a fortune in the future, maybe even rise to prominence overnight."

Peng Shaoxun smiled, then his expression turned serious: "Besides telling you some essential knowledge about the extraordinary, I also have an important matter to discuss with you."

His gaze fell on Yin Hang, making Yin Hang's heart skip a beat.

Peng Shaoxun said, "In the past two days, we have discovered another reincarnated person in Qiantang City."

Yin Hang, who was staring at Peng Shaoxun, felt his throat go dry; he had guessed what was going on.

Peng Shaoxun then said, "Zhang Yue, Ning Hongbo, and Wei Hui, the three of you should leave for a moment."

The three of them quickly got up and left the meeting room.

After the three left, Peng Shaoxun looked at Yin Hang and said to him, word by word, "...We investigated this reincarnated person; his name is Qin Zijun!"
