Chapter 131 Merging of Two Realms? Promotion Order

Binhai City, a newly established investment company, an underground research institute.

After being quiet for half a month, Lu Tianzhuang leaned against the corridor, arms crossed, his fingers tapping his shoulders, clearly very impatient.

Just as he was about to bang on the door again to ask what was going on, the door finally opened.

"How is it?"

Seeing Jinzi emerge from the inner room, Lu Tianzhuang couldn't wait to speak. He had been so bored these past few days, all in order to get a share of the pie from the Evil Realm.

The previously planned path to fame has been temporarily halted.

"It was a success, of course. Now we just need to give the world's court a surprise."

Jinzi removed her mask, and a smile appeared on her lips.

If they want a share of the pie from the evil realm, words alone are not enough; they need to demonstrate strength. As outsiders without a foundation, they need to rely on local forces.

But those forces outside the imperial court in this world are, to put it bluntly, a bunch of worthless scoundrels.

Aside from setting the tone, it's completely useless; only the imperial court in this world would consider the impact of public opinion.

Since they can't compete using conventional methods, they have no choice but to resort to unconventional ones.

"It took the lifespan and talent of more than a dozen supernatural beings to cultivate these few."

Listening to Jinzi's words, Lu Tianzhuang looked through the huge glass door into the room. There were several figures inside, motionless, their bodies covered with tubes.

Jinzi walked to the glass window, nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Don't underestimate these things."

It must be said that the technology of this world is quite sophisticated, with the supernatural transfer abilities of the Corpse Sleeping Path combined with our method of burning desire and lifespan.

Furthermore, with the technology of this world, we can quickly cultivate our own unique assassins, although the success rate is a bit low.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianzhuang curled his lip and looked away, "You and that Corpse-Sleeping Path fellow are really no good."

"What kind of strength do these people possess?" he asked.

"Seventh rank," Jinzi said. "Moreover, their physical strength is formidable, which gives them a significant advantage in the Spirit-Severing Land."

Lu Tianzhuang nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke again.

"By the way, let me remind you, those people from Japan, they're backed by demons. Are you sure you want to cooperate with them?"

Jinzi shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Aren't the Sleeping Corpse Path just as bad? On the contrary, the more muddy the waters become, the more opportunities we have."

As time passed day by day, the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and the various civilian forces were preparing for the upcoming competition.

The revival of spiritual energy is becoming increasingly evident, with mirages reappearing and no longer just fleeting illusions.

A brief period of merging between the two realms has already occurred.

In the northern part of the vast desert, on the adjacent grassland, a large grassland suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The grass there was taller than the trees, and it could be described as a "forest".

But the density is far greater than that of a forest.

More importantly, the appearance of this grassland is not a cover, but an expansion, creating a buffer zone between the two countries that were originally adjacent.

There's been no movement from next door yet, but on the Xia Kingdom's side, the army has already been mobilized.

This was no longer something the Bureau of Foreign Affairs could control; the steel torrent advanced northward via the railway, and the roar of armored vehicles and tanks shattered the tranquility of the grassland.

A long cordon was erected along the border, which was publicly described as a "military exercise".

Shen Qing also saw this news during his cultivation, although it didn't initially attract much of his attention.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Shen Qing almost never left the house and was constantly cultivating, but the speed at which the eight extraordinary meridians were opened was still much slower than that of the twelve regular meridians.

In ten days, he barely managed to open four meridians and advance to the belt meridian.

Although it was enough to leave Fang Shu and the others dumbfounded, they were lucky if they could open up one of the eight extraordinary meridians in a month.

In just two months, Shen Qing not only surpassed them in strength, but even began to surpass them in cultivation level.

They felt like they had wasted the last two years of their lives.

In particular, a certain Mr. Xie felt utterly hopeless, regretting that he had been so talkative and asked a question that was clearly going to drive him crazy.

Besides his astonishing progress in cultivation, there was another unexpected event: Shen Qing's promotion order.

Lieutenant Colonel, acting deputy director.

The original temporary captain was promoted three ranks, equivalent to the deputy brigade level in the military. This was only because he was in the acting position; otherwise, he would have been at the brigade level.

When the order came down, not only did everyone else erupt in chaos, but Shen Qing was completely bewildered.

Although the bureau is indeed short of a deputy director, Deputy Director Zhang's abilities have disappeared, so he can only be transferred to civilian work and is not suitable for front-line work.

But how long has he been with the Binhai branch? Less than two months.

Faced with the appointment letter stamped with a red seal handed to him by Xu Weimin, Shen Qing could only stammer out one sentence, "Director, all I know how to do is fight, don't I?"

Fortunately, the director explained that the deputy director was in charge of dealing with demons, mainly externally and in terms of physical action, while internal management was the director's responsibility.

Shen Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, accepted the appointment letter, and continued cultivating.

Two days before the competition, while Shen Qing was training, Director Xu called him in again to explain the details of the competition the day after tomorrow.

"The situation has changed somewhat for the competition the day after tomorrow."

Xu Weimin got straight to the point, handing over a stack of documents.

Shen Qing took the documents and opened them. Several photos immediately came into view, showing a clear boundary line between the tall grasslands that were comparable to trees and the ordinary grasslands around them.

"Isn't this the mirage that appeared a few days ago?"

Shen Qing spoke subconsciously, but as he spoke, he himself sensed something was wrong; this was no longer an illusion.

"It's not just that."

Xu Weimin shook his head and explained, "A week ago, part of that area had already bordered the northern grasslands and materialized."

The area is equivalent to half of a coastal city, and the army has already gone up there to seal off the surrounding area.

Then, this competition is also related to this grassland. They will go there to hunt demons, obtain spiritual medicine, and finally compete for points.

""

"It's just running dungeons, right?"

Beside him, Xie Chong approached at some point and said something thoughtfully.

Although Director Xu didn't understand, he continued, "We don't know the specifics inside either. Satellites can't detect it, and even unmanned equipment might break down soon, perhaps due to magnetic field issues."

He looked at Shen Qing, his expression turning serious. "So I came here this time to ask if you want to go."

Your talent is undeniable; normally, you shouldn't be taking the risk, but the final decision is up to you.

He paused, then added.

"Furthermore, your opponents this time are not only folk lineages and sects, but also those with capital involvement. They may have recruited some people with supernatural abilities."

Shen Qing was still looking at the documents in his hand when he frowned. "So, these two worlds have begun to truly merge?"
