One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

I didn't feel anything.

My lower abdomen was completely empty; there was no warmth, not even a fart.

Li Jun frowned and opened his eyes.

"Does it mean I lack talent?"

He remembered what Jin Hao had said and quickly cultivated his Qi.

In comparison, I feel absolutely nothing, which is really discouraging.

"That shouldn't be the case..."

Li Jun scratched his head.

He closed his eyes again and tried again.

This time he was more focused, trying to clear his mind and feel every change in his body.

Time passed little by little.

Outside the window, the mountain wind blew, rustling the leaves.

I don't know how much time passed.

Li Jun felt as if he had entered a very strange state.

My thoughts slowed down, and my body felt lighter, as if I were floating in the air.

He can even "hear" the sound of his own blood flowing and "see" the subtle changes within his body.

But there was still no "warm current" in my lower abdomen.

He maintained this meditative state, his breathing becoming increasingly even and long.

Just as Li Jun was completely immersed in his cultivation...

A sudden gust of wind picked up in the room.

It wasn't the wind blowing in from outside the window.

The air inside the room began to circulate slowly.

At first it was very faint, as gentle as breathing.

But gradually, the flow speed increased and the range expanded.

The yellow papers on the table trembled slightly in the wind. A few of them, which were near the edge, detached from the table but did not fall to the ground. Instead, they spun in the air.

Li Jun was completely unaware of this.

He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, breathing heavily, as if he were asleep.

But the wind inside the room was getting stronger.

……

at the same time.

Beyond Qingfeng Temple, down in Lu County, and even further afield in Nancheng and the Central Plains...

Amazing changes are taking place.

The Night Watch headquarters, the underground command center.

On the huge screen, a map showing the distribution of spiritual energy covering the entire Great Xia Dynasty was displayed.

The image is filled with countless points of light representing spiritual energy, as dazzling as a galaxy.

But at this moment, a strange scene appears on this picture.

Centered on Lu County, the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of kilometers is flowing in the same direction.

It is not a slow flow.

Instead, they seemed to be drawn together by something, gathering in a frenzy!

"Report! The spiritual energy concentration in the three provinces surrounding Lu County is rapidly decreasing!"

A technician stared at the screen, his voice trembling.

"The decline... three percent! No, five percent! And it's still declining!"

The command center was in an uproar.

Everyone stood up and stared intently at the screen.

On the screen, the dot representing Luxian County has now become a bottomless "black hole".

The surrounding spiritual energy surged towards it like a tide, forming a huge vortex.

The vortex is still expanding!

"What...what's going on?" a high-ranking official asked in a trembling voice.

"It's Qingfeng Temple!" the head of the intelligence department said in a deep voice. "According to feedback from various observation points, the endpoint of the spiritual energy flow is Qingfeng Temple!"

"It's Qingfeng Temple again..."

President Qin muttered to himself.

They had previously been alerted by Master Qingwei and had already detected that the concentration of spiritual energy around Lu County was abnormally low.

It's even more outrageous now.

The spiritual energy from a much larger area has been absorbed by Qingfeng Temple.

At this moment, President Qin stared at the data on the big screen, took a deep breath, and his mind raced.

Soon, a guess emerged.

"The current situation... is probably that Master Li is undergoing some kind of important spiritual practice."

President Qin paused for a moment, then added, "It's very likely that he's broken through to a higher realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. "Selling peach wood swords on a live stream, how did I become a Dao Ancestor?" (From the free reading app "Renren Bookstore".

breakthrough?

If someone at Master Li's level were to break through again... what realm would they reach?

"President Qin, what do you mean...?" someone asked cautiously.

"What I mean is that Master Li is probably undergoing some kind of crucial spiritual practice."

President Qin felt his mind was very clear now and continued, "Now that the second wave of the spiritual tide has broken out, the difficulty of cultivation has been greatly reduced compared to before."

"Several experts at headquarters who have reached the Refinement of Spirit Realm have already faintly touched the edge of the Refinement of Void Realm."

"As for a master like the Qingwei Sect Leader of Maoshan, he would probably only need one period of seclusion to naturally break through to the Void Refinement Realm."

"Master Li... is probably the same."

"Moreover, given his level of cultivation, the changes brought about by this breakthrough will be far greater than we imagine."

In the command center, everyone fell silent.

Shocking, horrifying, unbelievable.

The previous Master Li was already unfathomable, making him impossible for them to understand.

Do we need to become stronger now?

What level would that be?

Becoming an immortal?

While everyone was still in shock, President Qin breathed a sigh of relief after explaining his guess.

If the situation is indeed as he guessed, then Master Li's previous rejection of the peach wood sword order was probably not because he was angry.

But they really have something to do.

Just then, an intelligence officer rushed in and handed President Qin a document.

President Qin glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.

He then looked at the distribution map of spiritual energy on the screen, his expression complex.

"This act can be described as a great deed."

Upon hearing this, everyone was once again shocked.

"The strange phenomena caused by Master Li's cultivation can even cleanse evil spirits in the process..."

"That's incredible!"

"As expected of Master Li!"

President Qin waved his hand, silencing the discussion.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

He pulled up a document: "The situation in the north is still very serious."

A satellite image of a city appears on the screen.

"An ancient tomb has been discovered in the suburbs of Kitahara City, exuding an ominous aura."

"Based on the detection, it is highly likely that a Class A evil spirit was bred in the tomb."

President Qin paused for a moment: "You should know what Grade A means."

The atmosphere in the command center immediately became heavy.

Class A evil spirits are already capable of causing large-scale casualties.

If not dealt with promptly, an entire city could become a ghost town.

"What's the situation with Liu Zhenguo?" President Qin asked.

The intelligence officer in charge of liaison immediately reported: "The South City branch has organized a team that will depart for North Plains tomorrow."

"The team was led by Liu Zhenguo himself, and the team members included Chen Jianguo, Wang Hu, and... Jin Hao."

"Jin Hao?" President Qin was taken aback. "That's Master Li's friend?"

"Nonsense!"

His face darkened. "He just joined the Night's Watch, how can he be sent on such a dangerous mission!"

The intelligence officer quickly explained, "Liu Zhenguo said that although Jin Hao has just joined, he is very strong."

"The health talisman that healed all diseases on his body once activated on its own and purified an E-level evil spirit."

"Moreover, he also had various talismans and a peach wood sword given to him by Master Li."

After listening, President Qin fell silent.

The gifts from Master Li...

That's definitely different.

"Alright, let him participate."

President Qin finally nodded, "But you must tell Liu Zhenguo to protect Jin Hao and not let anything happen to him."

"Liu Zhenguo said that as long as he has a breath left, he will never let Jin Hao get hurt in the slightest."

Upon hearing this, President Qin felt somewhat relieved.
