The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Fellow villager, let's move on, there's nothing to see here."

"Please don't gather around, it's dangerous here."

"It's not war, it's a test launch of the Dongfeng Shenwei missile. The power was a bit too great, I'm sorry to have alarmed everyone."

"Soldier, are you kidding us? Who would test-fire a powerful weapon from the East at their own mountain? If they were going to fire, they'd aim it at the Ryukyu Kingdom!"

At the foot of Mount Qingcheng, special forces personnel sealed off the surrounding area.

But the commotion was so great that nearby residents all came over, eager to see what was going on.

"Captain, what should we do? There are more and more people." The person next to him whispered.

The captain wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the mountain that had been cut in half, and subconsciously swallowed.

Is this the legendary cultivator?

That's fucking outrageous!

"Evacuate the crowd as soon as possible, no matter how large it is!"

Remembering the orders from above, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "I just received word that there might be a second round of test firings. It's very dangerous here. Everyone, please leave immediately!"

If we can't reach an agreement with the other side later, the Eastern Divine Might will really have to be launched!

Upon hearing that there was danger, the crowd immediately dispersed and dared not approach.

"Captain, what's the higher-ups' attitude now?" someone whispered.

One man with a sword killed everyone in the entire temple; they had never dealt with anything like this before.

"How dare I know such things?"

The special forces captain gave a wry smile. "Now we can only pray that the person up there isn't a heartless demonic cultivator."

The other party's killing intent was terrifying; the number of people who died at his hands could probably be piled up into several mountains.

Please don't let them be cultivators who only know how to kill; if that were the case, all of their lives wouldn't be enough to fill the void.

The tragedy caused by the Taiping Rebellion is still vivid in his mind.

……

mountain top.

Lu Yao looked around, her expression becoming uneasy. "Senior brother, the officials haven't left. It seems they're constantly increasing their manpower."

At this moment, Lin Xiaoman quietly approached and whispered, "Chen Xuan, you've caused quite a stir. The people from [Lingxiao] are going to conduct a threat assessment on you."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The main thing is to assess your character. Just tell the truth and don't act inhumanely."

For powerful cultivators, Lingxiao has always advocated establishing an evaluation system.

Possessing immense personal power, but with a slightly flawed character, one could very well pose a threat to ordinary people.

In this respect, China has suffered too many losses.

The Taiping Cult is like this, and so are the reincarnations of demonic cultivators; we must be wary of them.

Chen Xuan glanced at her. "I need you to do the evaluation?"

Lin Xiaoman was immediately stunned.

Just then.

The fighter jets pierced through the clouds and swiftly landed here.

An Changmin and Ye Li came out from inside, followed by a man wearing glasses.

"Let me introduce you, this is Prefect An."

Knowing Chen Xuan's personality, Ye Li took the initiative to introduce him.

An Changmin was not arrogant at all. Instead, he smiled at Chen Xuan, appearing kind and friendly, and adopting a very humble attitude.

"Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Dr. Wang, from the research institute of [Lingxiao], specializing in evaluating cultivators, including their character, threateningness, and level."

The slightly overweight middle-aged man with glasses reached out his hand to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan did not shake hands, but simply said calmly, "Just say it, what is the purpose of your visit?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on the faces of the group, but Dr. Wang spoke first, this time with a serious expression.

"Since the revival of spiritual energy, figures from various eras have been reincarnated one after another."

"There are also cultivators from reclusive sects traveling among humans, which seriously affects the order of modern society."

"Large-scale bloodshed, incidents endangering the city, and constant battles between cultivators led to the birth of [Lingxiao]."

"We want to restrain the cultivators and maintain the current situation as much as possible."

"Instead of the other world they described, where mortals are like ants and human life is as worthless as grass."

"Please rest assured, we are not doing this because we are ordinary people and to protect our own interests."

"On the contrary, eighty percent of the people within [Lingxiao] are cultivators, and a small portion of them are reincarnated individuals, the best of each era in this other world."

"We formed [Lingxiao] because of our shared ideals and beliefs..."

Chen Xuan interrupted him, "Stop chanting and just say it."

He hates it when people chant scriptures in front of him.

That's why the three founders of the religion were repeatedly beaten by themselves.

Dr. Wang cleared his throat. "We would like to assess Mr. Chen's character. If he passes the assessment, we would like to invite him to join [Lingxiao]."

"Please rest assured that we will provide you with the highest standards of treatment and resources."

There's no need to know Chen Xuan's cultivation level, no need to understand his techniques, and no need to record his information.

As long as his character assessment is passed, Chen Xuan will be a pillar-level member simply by virtue of the spirit sword in his hand.

This is an exception.

Chen Xuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, "If the character assessment you're referring to is activating the Heart-Questioning Stone, then you'd better not waste your time. I have no chance of passing."

"How could that be?"

Dr. Wang looked astonished. "I observed that although Mr. Chen's killing intent was strong, he had not lost his mind. Based on our recent observations, we have determined that you are a cultivator of the Integration School."

In their hearts, they already regarded Chen Xuan as a reincarnated cultivator, even though he had never admitted it.

"Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism all regard me as an outsider."

"Demons, evil spirits, and monsters also regard me as an outsider."

"The so-called 'stone of self-examination' cannot fully fathom the myriad aspects of my life."

"Of the three thousand great paths, I, Chen Xuan, walk only one."

"If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world; if I become a demon, what can the Buddha do to me; if I am a monster, I will shatter the heavens."

"This mere Heart-Questioning Stone cannot see through my heart."

Chen Xuan's voice was calm, but his words were utterly absurd, causing a huge stir among Dr. Wang and the others.

Could there really be such a cultivator in this world?!

This sounds utterly absurd!

"Mr. Chen, if we cannot ascertain your character, we are afraid we cannot confidently entrust you with wielding this spirit sword..."

Dr. Wang's words were tactful, but his meaning was very clear.

As long as the extent of Chen Xuan's danger remains uncertain, Lingxiao cannot let his guard down against him.

Knights use their martial arts to break the law, immortals use their magic to wreak havoc on the world!

Chen Xuangang had only recently been reincarnated, and his strength and realm had certainly not recovered. He relied on this spiritual sword.

"Wrong, I have never wielded this spirit sword; it just stubbornly followed me around," Chen Xuan said calmly.

"Uh-huh!"

The nameless spirit sword, suspended in mid-air, even nodded obediently.

Dr. Wang and the others' mouths twitched violently.

It is said that spirit swords have spirits, possessing their own arrogance and temperament... But this spirit sword, why does it not resemble a spirit sword at all?

"Please leave, everyone. I will not join."

Chen Xuan spoke again, his tone of "keep away" sending a chill down the spines of Dr. Wang and the others.

In particular, the spirit sword, sensing the change in Chen Xuan's tone, once again unleashed a powerful killing intent, almost tangible, causing the fighter jets circling in the air to sway precariously.

It doesn't resemble a spirit sword; it's more like a lackey of Chen Xuan.

"If you say another word, you're not leaving."

Noticing that Dr. Wang still wanted to persuade him, Chen Xuan gave him a cold look.

The nameless spirit sword was very perceptive and also became enraged, revealing its murderous intent. Its sword aura filled the sky, and everyone felt terrified.

With just one man and one sword, without any unnecessary movements, he deterred an entire combat formation, along with dozens of fighter jets, from advancing any further.
