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

Lingshan Mountain, on the western outskirts of the capital.

The mountains are dotted with strangely shaped rocks, clear springs flow, birds sing and flowers bloom, and there are countless birds and beasts to be seen.

A septuagenarian was walking briskly through the mountains.

Not far from the old man, a burly middle-aged man followed closely behind.

The middle-aged man had a straight back and walked with a brisk pace; he was clearly a soldier.

Every time he saw the old man step across a stream or over a rock, he was filled with dread.

"Boss, slow down, don't fall."

Feng Yi shouted repeatedly, fearing that the elderly man in front might accidentally get into an accident.

That old man was no ordinary person; his name was Kong Yongkang, and he was one of the seven members of the Supreme Council of the Xia Dynasty, the true ruler of the government.

The Supreme Council consists of seven members, each holding a different position.

In addition to being one of the seven, this old man also holds one of the most coveted positions in China today: Minister of the National Defense Crisis Management Bureau!

It is this position that has allowed the old man to maintain his second-place ranking and strive for first place among the current seven.

Initially, when spiritual energy was just beginning to revive decades ago, superpowers appeared, but they were not very useful and were more like circus performances.

Therefore, although various countries have secret agencies conducting research and attach great importance to it, they have not been able to find out the truth.

Things changed drastically when the reincarnated person appeared.

Those reincarnated beings are all cultivators, possessing a genuine set of cultivation techniques.

Through systematic training, the "superpowered individuals" gradually developed remarkable abilities.

However, none of the original cultivators were strong enough to reach the inner realm. Although they possessed magical power, they were all mortals, and it was not difficult for modern human weapons to kill them.

During that period, various countries began to manage religious practitioners.

While countries take it seriously, they are not particularly worried, believing that with the capabilities of modern governments, it is not difficult to integrate these religious practitioners into society and make them abide by the law.

At the time, governments around the world wanted to train "superpowered individuals" to form a special force, believing that the role of "superpowered individuals" was to use modern technology as a sharp weapon on small battlefields.

The real change was that the Inner Alchemy Realm appeared among cultivators.

Cultivators at the Inner Alchemy Realm have already passed their first Minor Heavenly Tribulation, achieving the most fundamental sublimation of life.

Although cultivators at this level can still be killed with modern high-intensity firearms, the cost has increased exponentially.

Especially those cultivators at this level begin to master the most basic supernatural abilities, truly becoming little superhumans.

Modern weapons such as tanks, airplanes, cannons, and even warships have negligible effect in the face of a cultivator whose target is too small and whose power is concentrated in himself.

To kill a cultivator at this level, unless you're lucky enough to kill them in one strike through an ambush or similar means, you can only exhaust their mana.

It was only then that the governments of various countries were horrified to discover that cultivation was not a gradual process, but rather that one's strength increased exponentially with the advancement of one's realm.

What is exponential growth? It means that as the level of mastery increases, quantity becomes less useful.

Several people at the first level of Body Tempering Realm can kill one person at the second level of Qi Refining Realm.

However, no matter how many cultivators at the third level of the Divine Cultivation Realm are there, they absolutely cannot harm the fourth level of the Inner Core Realm before exhausting the enemy's mana.

This exponential increase in strength becomes increasingly exaggerated as time goes on. No matter how many people are in the Inner Realm, they cannot harm a hair on the head of the Cave Profound Realm without special magic treasures, even if the Cave Profound Realm has no magic power at all.

It was only with the emergence of the Inner Core Realm that another demonic cultivator at the Inner Core Realm caused a shocking case, and the government was horrified to discover that they had no control over these cultivators!

This is no longer a difference in social class, but a difference between two different species, a difference between immortals and mortals!

The reason modern society can barely maintain a balance is because of the existence of nuclear weapons.

While nuclear weapons are unlikely to kill cultivators at the Inner Realm level, as they can escape, they can at least cause mutual destruction. This is why governments around the world can still engage in dialogue with cultivators.

But those in power on Earth know that everything will change when the first Cave Profound Realm expert is born, as spiritual energy revives.

By then, the world order will have undergone tremendous changes, and the power structure will have been completely transformed.

As one of the seven members of the Supreme Council of the Xia Dynasty, and also in charge of the "National Defense Crisis Management Bureau" which liaises with the cultivators, Kong Yongkang is the one who can best understand this change.

This old man dedicated his life to the country, and he longed to find a way for the Chinese people to coexist with the Taoist practitioners before a great upheaval occurred.

He didn't want modern society to become the purest form of survival of the fittest, where ordinary mortals become pawns controlled by "immortals," with no human rights whatsoever.

He hoped that the modern human civilization of the Chinese nation could continue to be preserved. Although modern society still had its injustices, at least it wouldn't become as terrifying as the cultivation world.

Therefore, although Kong Yongkang lacked talent and could not cultivate, he still tried his best to understand the knowledge of the cultivation world.

Ultimately, he defied public opinion and chose a path that seemed correct for the time being: supporting the Empress of Great Yan and enabling her to transform the entire Xia dynasty into a dynasty.

The cultivation methods of the Yun Dynasty are considered the most orderly and suitable for modern national conditions in the cultivation world, because the Empress's strength comes from the order and power of the country!

The old man even knew that several powerful modern governments had chosen the same approach without prior agreement.

The opposing nation across the sea also has a reincarnated Emperor Yunchao from the Taiqing Realm.

Kong Yongkang took a deep breath, feeling the faint spiritual energy enter his abdomen. The old man exclaimed, "I have lived here for ten years, and I do not feel old at all. On the contrary, I feel younger. This is truly a blessed land!"

"I'm an old man in my seventies, and I can still climb mountains like a young man. I never even dared to dream of it before."

Bodyguard Feng Yi laughed and said, "Yes, not long ago, the Taoist priest and the fairy brought back the fairy palace in the East China Sea."

"Now, some of the spiritual energy of the Celestial Palace has also been integrated into Mount Ling, making this place arguably the best feng shui treasure land on Earth today."

"If only I had the chance to enter that celestial palace to cultivate."

Feng Yi said with a face full of envy.

He did not belong to any sect; he was a cultivator trained by the government and possessed the Inner Core Realm. As a non-reincarnated individual, his extraordinary talent was evident.

This was also the result of discussions between the government, or rather, the government leveraging the Empress's power, and the various sects within the various Xia states.

The government and sects cooperated to train a group of cultivators to maintain public order, which is the origin of the "National Defense Crisis Management Bureau".

"This time, I shamelessly asked the Empress for a pill. Now my chronic illness is completely cured, and with the help of modern medical technology, I should be able to live for more than a hundred years without any problem."

Although Kong Yongkang can no longer be described as having white hair and a youthful appearance, he is indeed in excellent spirits and energy. He never imagined that he, at over seventy years old, would still have such physical strength.

Although modern society has advanced technology and can cure many diseases, these treatments only address the symptoms, not the root cause.

The cultivation world is different; various elixirs, magical powers, and supernatural abilities can truly cure the root cause.

Although he was just a mortal, unable to cultivate, and unable to withstand the infusion of magical power.

However, taking some weakened elixirs from the cultivation world can still remove hidden ailments.

With the help of modern technology for maintenance, living to the limit of ordinary human lifespan is not out of the question.

Kong Yongkang was devoted to the country, but he also had his own selfish motives.

He is now in his seventies, and according to predictions, he could live to be over 120, which means he has nearly 50 years left to live.

He longed for the spiritual energy to be revived more than anyone else.

If the spiritual energy can be restored within fifty years, the Empress can achieve the Cave Profound Realm.

At that time, the empress could bestow titles upon the entire world!

Based on his contributions and strong support for the Empress, he will surely be granted the title of Outer Realm by the Empress.

Although the scenery bestowed by imperial decree cannot compare to the scenery of actual cultivation, Kong Yongkang was still excited and eager to possess the great power of a cultivator with a mortal body.

Most importantly, the Outer Realm has a lifespan of a thousand years, which is what mortals desire most!

If the Empress continues to advance in the future, becoming a Dao Lord and then Taiqing, he will also rise in rank along with her.

This is what investment is, and what it means for one person to achieve success and for all their relatives and friends to benefit from it!

Kong Yongkang suppressed his thoughts; after all, having been a high-ranking official for so long, he still possessed a certain degree of self-control.

"Let's go, we're almost at the Yuanshi Daluo Sect."

……

At the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, Kong Yongkang paid his respects to two reincarnated individuals with great supernatural powers.

"Greetings, Taoist Priest! Greetings, Fairy!"

Inside the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, the old Daoist Xuanwei was dressed in a simple Daoist robe. Beside him stood a woman in a white dress, elegant and ethereal.

Lou Guanxue, merely standing there, possessed countless ethereal and graceful beauty, as ethereal as a light rain in an empty mountain, her beauty seemingly otherworldly.

Although she was as beautiful as an angel, she did not inspire any sense of disrespect. It was an ethereal quality that inspired only admiration and awe in anyone who saw her.

Lou Guanxue parted her lips slightly, her ethereal voice uttering, "Is there any news of my master, the 'Primordial Great Luo Heaven'?"

Kong Yongkang gave a wry smile and said, "Replying to the fairy, the government has not dared to slack off and has used a lot of manpower and resources to investigate the information, but there is no news of the 'Primordial Great Luo Heaven' that you mentioned."

Lou Guanxue's brows were slightly furrowed, which both instilled fear and pity in those who saw her.

Since returning from the East Sea that day, she has used the name of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect to ask the government to search for news of her master.

Since the master has been reincarnated and possesses supernatural powers, he must have written a biography.

Modern government has extremely strong control; it should be able to find any clues, no matter how small.

She didn't think the government was just going through the motions; the empress would definitely want to find traces of her master, and both sides shared the same goal.

If even a modern government agency couldn't find any information, then it's probably really difficult.

The old Taoist Xuanwei said, "Senior Sister, with the abilities of our patriarch, perhaps he doesn't even need this so-called biography?"

"The strength that the patriarch displayed that day was unlike anything in the external world. Although the Heavenly Dao is confused, what kind of person is the patriarch? Perhaps the Great Dao cannot restrict the patriarch at all."

Hearing Xuanwei's words, Lou Guanxue's furrowed brows relaxed, and she said softly, "Master can be described as a 'half-step True Immortal,' so it is only natural that he is different from us."

Kong Yongkang and Feng Yi were secretly astonished when they heard what the two said.

What happened that day was something they would never forget.

The giant Buddha that suddenly appeared in the universe, with a single finger pointing out, possessed a terrifying power that seemed to be able to bounce the blue planet away like a glass ball. Just thinking about it makes one's blood run cold.

This also allowed Kong Yongkang to witness firsthand the immense power of a Taoist practitioner.

Even disregarding the Primordial Great Luo Heaven, the aftershocks of the battle between the Empress and the sword immortal in front of her in the sky alone could stir up tidal waves, nearly enough to annihilate a fleet.

This is a person with great supernatural powers!

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is an immortal.

Kong Yongkang hesitated for a long time before cautiously asking, "May I ask, Daoist Master, and Fairy, who is the Primordial Great Luo Heaven? Please enlighten me."

"So that we can give the order, in case anyone accidentally sees him, to prevent offending him."

Lou Guanxue chuckled lightly: "It would be quite difficult to offend Master."

The old Taoist Xuanwei continued, "Our ancestor of the Primordial Great Luo Sect was the wisest man throughout history..."

The two of them took turns telling each other about the general life and deeds of "Yuanshi Daluotian".

Kong Yongkang and Feng Yi were stunned when they heard this.

This is number one in everything! It's simply a display of boundless pride, soaring ambition, and awe-inspiring passion!

Especially after hearing that this Primordial Great Luo Heaven had destroyed the ancient Heavenly Court, slain the ancient Heaven, and even obliterated the ancient Great Dao.

The two were in a daze and could only come to one conclusion in the end.

The "Primordial Great Luo Heaven" is the number one person in the cultivation world throughout history, and the person who is closest to "immortal"!

And this terrifying being has been reincarnated! He has been reincarnated!

The only fortunate thing is that Yuanshi Daluotian is the founder of Yuanshi Daluo Sect, which is now located in Zhuxia.

Out of respect for the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, that "Heaven" probably won't do anything to the various Xia states.

Even the peerless and proud Empress had awe for the Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

This celestial palace, along with the magical treasures and elixirs within, were all bestowed upon them by the Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

Terrifying! Terrifying indeed!

The two left with heavy expressions.

We must inform all those in the country about the information and news concerning the Primordial Great Luo Heaven.

If anyone is lucky, or unlucky, and actually encounters that "Heavenly One," they must treat him with utmost respect and never provoke this "True Immortal"!

After the two left, Lou Guanxue lowered her beautiful eyes, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling slightly, and said softly, "It seems that relying on the government will not lead to finding Master."

Compared to Lou Guanxue's deeply hidden emotions, the old Taoist Xuanwei only felt reverence for his patriarch. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Isn't this something my senior sister and I expected?"

"A figure like the patriarch, if he didn't want to see anyone, who could find him?"

Lou Guanxue hummed in agreement, then revealed her stunning smile again: "But since Master has appeared before me, I have a feeling that I will see him again soon."

My master always keeps his word. If he says he will punish me, he will definitely punish me.

He hasn't... spanked me yet.

For some unknown reason, the fairy blushed.
