As spiritual energy revived, I, having acquired certain attributes, gradually ascended to immortalit

Chapter 132 The Spirit-Slaying Grassland

"Not yet, this is temporary."

Before Xu Weimin could speak, a voice came from the training room door. Li Jianghan appeared at some point and walked over.

"I've already checked, and the laws governing both worlds still exist."

Seeing Shen Qing's puzzled expression, he explained, "If the two worlds were to truly merge, the laws of the worlds should be consistent, but the laws of the two worlds exist simultaneously."

In the world of supernatural powers, firearms will be restricted to a certain extent.

You could attribute the weakening of power to factors like gravity, but here, it's impossible for a powerful being from a supernatural world to appear.

"The appearance of the Jue Ling Grassland is actually a good thing for us."

Li Jianghan pulled a photo from Shen Qing's hand. "The Absolute Spirit Grassland, just as the name suggests, restricts spiritual energy, and everything depends on the physical body."

"Those civilian forces that dare to challenge the government must have some kind of backing, such as forces like the Corpse Sleeping Path."

But now that the Spirit-Severing Grassland has appeared, restricting spiritual energy, their methods will also be limited.

"but,"

Then, he changed the subject, "That doesn't mean there aren't any resources inside. The flesh of demons and special spiritual medicines are all resources that can temper one's physique."

This thing can't be found anywhere else.

"Therefore, those forces agreed to this competition proposal because they were also eyeing the resources inside."

Shen Qing understood, closed the document, and made a decision in her mind.

I definitely have to go. Once I break through to the seventh rank, cultivation resources will only become scarcer. Exploring the Evil Realm is still too difficult right now, and I can't go far at all.

It looked like the ground was full of medicinal herbs, but in reality they were all weeds, which were useless to him with his current strength, and their location was too close to the outer perimeter.

As for the dangers of the Spirit-Slaying Grassland—if you want to become stronger, where is there a path that isn't dangerous?

Two days later, the day of the competition finally arrived.

The meeting point was on the outskirts of Binhai City, in the abandoned industrial area where the Bureau of Management selected candidates.

Several military pickup trucks were parked at the edge of the site.

The official team was led by Wang Beishan, since Xu Ya didn't like to talk and Shen Qing was the acting deputy director, so only he was suitable.

Apart from the five people, the other official staff had already set off in advance.

On the other side, representatives from several major factions had also arrived, including one contestant. As expected by the civilian forces, the contestant's strength was only at the eighth rank.

He was a middle-aged Taoist priest from the Dragon Tiger Sect.

Apart from these four contestants, not one of the representatives from the folk lineages even arrived.

Time passed by, second by second.

"That's quite a big deal."

Huo Xiu was the first to speak, his brows furrowed. This lack of even the most basic punctuality was clearly intentional and a sign of disrespect for the authorities.

Although Shen Qing and the others did not speak, their expressions clearly showed displeasure when they checked the time.

In other words, to give face to the other major representatives around them, they did not speak, since the other party is currently considered to be in league with the folk lineage.

When it comes to the allocation of future cultivation resources, even though they usually try their best to cooperate with the authorities, they still want to get more.

But patience has its limits.

Half an hour had passed since the agreed time, and a dozen or so figures finally appeared in the distance. Some of them were wearing suits and were representatives of some domestic capital.

"You must be the official representatives, right? Oh dear, I'm so sorry."

The middle-aged man in the suit who was leading the group had a big smile on his face.

Shen Qing thought the face looked somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized it was Director Sun of a certain company in the automotive industry, whom he often saw in the news.

He immediately adopted a humble posture, bowing and apologizing, "There was a slight problem on the way, which delayed us. I'm truly sorry to have kept you all waiting."

You can't hit someone who's smiling.

The lowest-ranking officials present were all deputy directors, and even directors of large companies had to be polite. But since the other party had lowered their stance so much, Shen Qing and the others couldn't afford to make a scene.

Both sides began to introduce themselves.

With such a large country and so many people, there are bound to be undiscovered supernatural beings who are taken in by capital. Naturally, they will also be involved in this competition against civilian forces.

But as the introduction progressed, Shen Qing immediately frowned.

Surprisingly, none of the four newly selected members from the civilian forces were from those major sects.

Instead, they were some unknown folk lineages, or even supernatural beings recruited by the company. Most importantly, they were all at the seventh rank.

Where did they find so many seventh-rank soldiers?

"Are these people definitely from the Xia Kingdom?"

Wang Beishan frowned slightly and asked directly.

If these people are truly just ordinary folk practitioners with supernatural abilities, then having them would be a good thing for the entire supernatural community in Xia Kingdom.

Even if their existence might disrupt the existing order, the Bureau of Disorder is not to be trifled with if they dare to cause trouble.

But the fear is that these people with supernatural abilities may not have a simple background, which could lead to a series of problems.

Director Sun quickly waved his hand with a smile.

"Captain Wang, don't worry, these are all people from Xia, genuine people from Xia."

Previously, when some foreign forces tried to establish connections with us, we reported it immediately and never concealed it.

As he spoke, he even took out several people's ID cards from his briefcase.

But Wang Beishan didn't look at it. Given the other party's status and connections with some departments, getting a few ID cards wouldn't be difficult for him.

They weren't quite clear about the matter at hand, since it involved different departments.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group finally set off.

The convoy traveled north along the national highway and entered the area of ​​the vast desert about four hours later.

Upon entering the Hanhai region, the atmosphere immediately changed. There were significantly fewer private cars on the national highway, and patrol teams from the Public Security Bureau could be seen every so often.

Each time, documents and identity need to be checked.

Another hour passed, and the convoy was stopped by a group of heavily armed soldiers, even though they recognized it as a military pickup truck.

"Comrade, a military exercise is underway ahead. Travel is prohibited. Please turn back the way you came."

Wang Beishan took out his documents again, and only after they were carefully verified did he let him pass.

The journey was fraught with obstacles, with no gaps in the defenses. They even spotted the tanks being transported when the convoy passed a railway line.

After finally arriving at the destination.

At a glance, there were many military green tents densely packed together, and in addition to the soldiers on patrol and guard duty, there were also quite a few people from various factions.

Representatives from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, the public, and even the military are all paying close attention to this competition.

With the appearance of the Spirit-Slaying Grassland, this is no longer just an official show of strength, but also the first exploration of another world.

Just a kilometer away, that patch of "grass forest" attracted everyone's attention.

Shen Qing was the first to get off the bus. Before she could even observe her surroundings, she was surprised to find an unexpectedly large number of acquaintances. She was immediately surrounded.

"We meet again, Shen Qing."

He looked up and saw Ding Hang, the captain of the army's Group A, wearing an exoskeleton and holding a special firearm.

"Captain Ding, thank you so much for what you did last time."

Ding Hang waved his hand, "It's my duty, no need to thank me."

"However, we didn't talk much when we met last time. I was curious at the time how you suddenly developed a seventh-grade combat power."

The result was only a short time ago, and this time they are representing the official team in the competition —

He looked Shen Qing up and down, his eyes filled with shock and confusion. How long had it been since they fought? A month?

Back then, Shen Qing only managed to win with the help of his teammates, but now he has become the top individual combat force in Xia Kingdom.

In the military, this is equivalent to a deputy brigade commander, or even someone with real power.
