Chapter 788: Chapter 788: An Investigation with Nowhere to Begin
The two, from Bureau Ten, left; these matters were beyond their decision-making authority.
After seeing them off, Xu Zhiming and Ji Yang returned to the room.
Looking at Ji Yang with a complex expression, Xu Zhiming said, “Your situation makes it difficult for us to continue our assessment.”
Ji Yang simply smiled; he had long anticipated this outcome. Besides, ever since he learned of the cultivation world, he had never given much thought to a career in the civil service. To him, being a cultivator was the goal he pursued.
“I didn’t expect things to turn out this way either.”
“How strong is your control over Myanmar?” Although Xu Zhiming knew that Ji Yang controlled Mancity, he was unaware of the specifics. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelFɪre.net
“Let’s put it this way,” Ji Yang responded, “the force that unified their military accomplishments is under my control. You know they launched attacks in three directions. Just before you arrived, I helped them by killing the top leaders of the three powers. After that, they defeated the opposing armed forces. Now, the advance is proceeding rapidly; almost no one can stand against them. One-third of Myanmar’s region is under my control.”
Xu Zhiming was shocked once again. He hadn’t anticipated that Ji Yang would take control of such a vast area so swiftly; it was something they had not even considered.
“Did you also take out those from the other nations?”
“Exactly. Each power was backed by them. We’ve seized a large amount of weaponry and materials.”
Xu Zhiming sighed, “This place is becoming increasingly chaotic.”
“It’s not that big of a deal. Nowadays, no one dares to use nuclear weapons, so as long as it’s this kind of war, the forces on my side can easily wipe them out. Even if they send more command teams, it won’t make a difference.”
Xu Zhiming was at a loss for words. With Ji Yang in play, it was bad luck for those nations. Ji Yang’s methods were utterly ruthless; he would strike directly at the command center, leaving the soldiers with nothing to fight.
“Can you talk about cultivation?”
Ji Yang didn’t hide anything from him, and relayed all that he knew.
“Bureau Ten is a special division, staffed by people from various secret organizations. We don’t know much about their operations either. One of their purposes in approaching you could be to acquire a cultivation technique that can be practiced in the Mortal Dust Realm. If they get hold of such a technique, they could probably enter the Mortal Dust Realm, leading to chaos. You must not reveal that technique lightly.”
Ji Yang also knew this was the case and said, “Actually, I’ve been observing changes between heaven and earth recently. I’ve discovered that the Mortal Dust Qi is retreating.”
Ji Yang nodded slightly, “I’m not sure what’s going on, but according to my observations, it is indeed receding. If it continues, and the Mortal Dust Qi vanishes, then Spiritual Energy will dominate. The entire Earth will undergo changes.”
“Are you talking about the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, as mentioned in novels?”
“Spiritual Energy always existed; there’s no such thing as a resurgence. It’s just that Mortal Dust’s Qi, or rather Demonic Qi, eroded it, consuming the massive amounts that appeared. That’s why we can’t cultivate in the mortal world.”
Xu Zhiming said, “I’ve seen some records too. They say that before Zhou’s Conquest of Shang, there were many Qi Refining Practitioners on Earth. Then they suddenly disappeared, and no one knows why. Perhaps it was because of the invasion of Demonic Qi at that time.”
Ji Yang said, “I’m not too clear on the details, but I know that at that time, many forces moved towards different parts of Earth. After they occupied certain areas, they set up Formations, and their legacies still exist.”
“The situation you’ve described is too critical. I must report back to our country immediately.” Xu Zhiming left in a rush to make his report.
Ji Yang sat there, lighting a cigarette and contemplating what he should do next.
