Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

The top floor of the Qiantang Gate Building, the National Defense Crisis Management Bureau.

"Brother Yin, are you working overtime again today?"

The pretty receptionist greeted Yin Hang with a smile when she saw him sitting at his workstation.

Yin Hang hasn't been home for two days; he's been living and eating at the bureau.

It wasn't that Yin Hang didn't want to go home, nor was it that he was particularly passionate about his work.

Instead, Peng Shaoxun, the director of the Qiantang branch, demanded that he not return until Qin Zijun, this "reincarnated person," had finished writing down her life experiences.

This requires monitoring the network used by Qin Zijun, and network surveillance is a state secret, so it cannot be done at home and can only be done at the bureau.

Yin Hang chuckled and said, "Director Peng gave me a rather troublesome job, so I can only stay at the bureau."

The receptionist's eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, "I'm not in a hurry to go back. I'll go downstairs and buy two milk teas and some dinner so we can eat together at the company?"

Yin Hang exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Okay, thank you, Miss!"

The receptionist was amused and went downstairs to buy some food.

Yin Hang knew exactly what the receptionist was thinking.

Seeing that she was young and promising, she wanted to pursue him.

Yin Hang is strong and muscular. Although he is a bit fat, he is still a reliable person. Most importantly, his family is wealthy and he is generous. He has dated several girlfriends before.

Of course, compared to Qin Zijun who attracts men with her looks, Yin Hang believes he is far inferior.

His tricks for charming girls were learned from Qin Zijun.

"Sigh, what's the point of women? Cultivating immortality is much more exciting!"

Yin Hang shook his head, unimpressed by the enthusiastic receptionist.

He has just reached the first level of body tempering. Although, apart from special techniques, most cultivation does not care whether one is a virgin or not.

However, during the body-strengthening stage, it is best to accumulate primordial yang and primordial essence as much as possible, and avoid contact with women.

In particular, although spiritual practice does not directly lead to plastic surgery, it does indeed make one more beautiful.

It's a change in temperament, and also a sublimation of human life.

Even the most beautiful ordinary woman will have many flaws, such as dull skin or wrinkles, which can only be made up for with makeup and Photoshop.

However, powerful cultivators can achieve a sublimation of life, thereby removing physical defects and impurities and reaching a state of perfect smoothness and jade-like perfection.

Yin Hang had met several female cultivators with high cultivation levels. Their features might not have been particularly stunning, but their temperament was unforgettable.

This is why Yin Hang lost interest in ordinary women. Even if he were to find a girlfriend, he would only want a Daoist partner with whom he could cultivate together.

"Sigh, I did fool Brother Qin before. The woman in that photo is actually an extremely powerful female sword immortal."

"But Brother Qin is a reincarnated person now, so he probably realized it too."

Yin Hang opened his phone and found the photo of the woman's back that he had shown Qin Zijun.

This photo is so captivating; he actually asked Director Peng about it.

Director Peng told her that this was a powerful female swordswoman, but as for her name and whereabouts, according to Director Peng, it was because her rank was not high enough, and that this was a state secret.

Yin Hang put his phone away, stared at the screen again, and prayed with his hands clasped, "Brother Qin, please don't write a super long novel!"

Director Peng said that these "reincarnated individuals" have different personalities, and therefore their behaviors vary greatly.

Some "reincarnated individuals" find it troublesome and write very brief life stories, like writing a resume.

However, some of the "reincarnated ones" are quite flamboyant.

They would write their stories like a diary, detailing even what they ate every day, thus creating a million-word flop novel.

If Brother Qin were to write a million-word novel, I don't know how long I'd have to sit in the company.

A night passed in a daze.

Just as Yin Hang yawned, preparing to catch up on some sleep, the computer suddenly responded.

He immediately sat up straight and excitedly asked, "Brother Qin released it?"

Yin Hang quickly perked up and first glanced at the word count. It was a short story, only tens of thousands of words long.

He read it word by word, and finished reading the article more than an hour later.

Yin Hang's expression was complex, and he seemed somewhat wistful.

"This 'reincarnated' person who merged with Brother Qin was actually a monk in his previous life, and he experienced such a tragic story."

"If I didn't know this was based on a real person's experience, I would have thought it was a novel."

"This 'reincarnated one' is quite sentimental. For a mortal woman, he actually severed his path to immortality. People say that severing someone's path to immortality is like killing their parents. This is suicide."

"In the end, he was even more ruthless, digging out his own Buddhist heart and bones."

Yin Hang just wanted to give a thumbs up and say "Awesome!"

He put himself in the monk's shoes and wondered if he were in the monk's shoes. Would he choose to continue his spiritual practice or enter the mortal world for a woman and sever his path to immortality?

Yin Hang felt there was no need to even think about it; he would definitely choose to cultivate!

Especially considering his exceptional talent.

Yin Hang felt a pang of envy. Having also begun his cultivation journey, he understood best the difficulty of it.

He worked himself to the bone for over two months before barely reaching the first level of body tempering, while others accomplished it in half a day.

Apart from the True Monarch of the Cave Profound Realm who was forcibly promoted at the end, he also became a powerful expert in the Outer Realm after more than ten years of cultivation.

Yin Hang now has a clear understanding of the cultivation realms.

The first stage is physical training, the second is qi cultivation, the third is spiritual cultivation, the fourth is internal alchemy, the fifth is internal vision, and the sixth is external vision.

Even Director Peng, who is said to have had a great opportunity, is only barely at the third level of the Divine Cultivation Realm.

Cultivators at this level possess divine sense, making them practically human radars; it's already very difficult for ordinary people to track down someone at this level.

The first three realms are still just mortal bodies, which can be dealt with by ordinary firearms.

This is also why the government initially didn't pay much attention to these cultivators.

Although cultivators in the lower three realms already possess extraordinary abilities, they can still be killed if a certain price is paid.

But when you reach the fourth realm, a qualitative change will occur.

For cultivators at the fourth Inner Core Realm, their magical power begins to transform.

Ordinary bullets are no longer effective; to harm a cultivator of this level, you would need an explosion of at least the level of a 155mm howitzer.

Most importantly, cultivators are individuals with immense power. They can run, use spells, and those at the Inner Core stage can even fly, possessing abilities such as shrinking the distance between people and teleportation.

The weapons that could harm them were too cumbersome and difficult to injure them before their mana was depleted.

For cultivators who reach this level, the effectiveness of technological weapons begins to diminish rapidly, unless nuclear weapons are used directly, which would be the only way to solve the problem once and for all.

Yin Hang can no longer understand the fifth inner scene and the sixth outer scene.

As for cultivators in the upper three realms, they are legends!

"Phew, thank goodness Brother Qin was in his previous life, well, let's just say it was his previous life."

"He's a monk who saved the entire nation, and he's a man of deep feelings and integrity, not a demonic cultivator. He should be able to get along with the government."

Yin Hang felt relieved.

He was about to call Director Peng to report the situation.

suddenly,

With a bang, the office door was forcefully pushed open.

Yin Hang was startled and looked over in surprise to see Peng Shaoxun standing at the door, panting heavily.

At this moment, his hands trembled as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Yin Hang quickly stood up: "Director Peng, you've come at the right time. I was just about to tell you something."

"Brother Qin has written down his past life. He is a Buddhist cultivator, not a demonic cultivator. Director Peng, you don't need to worry."

Peng Shaoxun walked in, his legs trembling. He picked up the water glass on the table and took a big gulp.

Yin Hang's lips twitched.

That's my cup!

Oh no, this cup is no good.

After taking a few sips of water to relieve his dry mouth, Peng Shaoxun slammed the water glass heavily on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "I know."

"Um, Director Peng, you know about this?"

"I read that article. 'Reincarnated people' are inherently very dangerous, and any reincarnated person should be treated with caution."

"A reincarnated person has appeared in Qiantang City, and as the director here, I naturally have to keep a close eye on it."

Yin Hang's face darkened.

If you're so concerned about this, why did you keep me at the company, making me work overtime for two whole days?

However, subordinates must complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, no matter how unhappy they are.

Seeing Peng Shaoxun's unfocused gaze, he cautiously asked, "Director Peng, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Peng Shaoxun fell silent.

Just as Yin Hang was feeling uneasy, wondering what crazy thing his boss was going to do next, Peng Shaoxun suddenly asked, "Yin Hang, what's your relationship with Qin Zijun... no, what's your relationship with Brother Qin like?"

"Qin and I used to be neighbors and grew up together. We were in the same class in elementary, middle and high school, and we went to the same university, but not the same major. We are the best of friends."

When questioned by his superior, Yin Hang answered meticulously, "Director Peng, didn't you already investigate all of this before?"

Peng Shaoxun had, of course, investigated all of these matters, but he simply couldn't believe it, so he asked again.

"So, you and Brother Qin are childhood sweethearts?"

"The term 'childhood sweetheart' sounds awful, doesn't it? Isn't that used between men and women?"

Yin Hang thought to himself, "What's wrong with Director Peng? Why is he calling me Brother Qin now?"

"Give me the computer first."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hang handed over his laptop.

Then he saw Peng Shaoxun log into his account, recharge a huge sum of money, and directly reward Qin Zijun's newly published short story with 100,000 yuan.

Yin Hang's eyes widened.

Director Peng, what are you trying to do?

Peng Shaoxun sighed and murmured, "It's important to leave a good impression on people, even if it's just an unnamed one."

He glanced at Yin Hang again, his expression hesitant, and stammered, "I reported to my superiors before coming here and received their permission."

Yin Hang stood still, unsure how to respond.

Peng Shaoxun asked him to sit down. After carefully considering his words, he said, "You've only been with our bureau for less than three months, and you're only at the first level of Body Tempering."

"Normally, this kind of classified information is not something someone of your level should be able to see."

"But the organization has a mission for you, so they're specifically allowing you to see this classified information."

Yin Hang trembled, his face contorted with grief, and said, "Director Peng, how can I refuse this mission?"

One look at Peng Shaoxun's expression and he knew it wasn't a good mission.

It might even be some kind of terrifying undercover mission.

"No, you've already signed the agreement, and the organization has decided it's you. You can't refuse."

Seeing Yin Hang's drooping head, Peng Shaoxun said with a smile, "Don't be so scared. This mission may not be dangerous. It might even be a great opportunity."

"Yin Hang, you already know about the existence of reincarnated beings, and you also know that reincarnated beings need to write down their past lives so that their true spirit can be recognized by the Great Dao of this world."

Yin Hang nodded vigorously; he already knew some of the basic workings of this world.

"Then you should have considered that the Empress was also a reincarnation. She also wrote about her life experiences, but those experiences were state secrets and only people of a certain rank could see them."

Peng Shaoxun's words reminded Yin Hang of the introduction Peng Shaoxun had given about the Empress.

"Wait a minute, the Empress? I remember Director Peng, you said she was the Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty. I don't know her given name, but her surname is Jiang!"

Yin Hang wasn't stupid; he couldn't possibly have forgotten what Peng Shaoxun had said just a few days ago.

His eyes widened; the conjecture filled him with fear, excitement, and disbelief.

Peng Shaoxun nodded slightly.

"In order for you to complete this mission, the higher-ups have agreed to let you see the Empress's life story, as well as a top-secret photograph taken in the Kunlun Mountains back then."

"This is a top-secret file."

As he spoke,

Peng Shaoxun took the specially customized computer, opened a network, and after going through multiple complicated verifications, pulled up a photo.

He turned the computer around so that Yin Hang could see the contents of the photos.

That was a photo taken in 1999. Compared to today's smartphones and cameras, photos from that time had more pixels and weren't very clear.

However, Yin Hang was still able to see the contents clearly.

It was a place that resembled a giant cave, with four stone pillars that stretched upwards to the heavens and downwards to the netherworld, like the four poles of heaven and earth.

In the middle of the stone pillar floats a magnificent and solemn bronze coffin.

None of these are important; what is important is that next to the bronze coffin stands a stone tablet.

The inscription on the stone tablet reads: "Tomb of Qin Zijun, erected by her widow, Jiang X."

Yin Hang felt a sudden darkness in his mind, thinking he had low blood sugar. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Just by thinking about the short article Qin Ge wrote and this tombstone, some things can be almost confirmed.

He finally understood why Director Peng had that expression earlier.

Yin Hang asked in a hoarse voice, "Brother Qin... he's the Empress's husband? And the Empress is that Miss Jiang?"

Peng Shaoxun did not answer the question. Instead, he pulled up another document and said, "This is the Empress's own account of her life. Take a look. There isn't much in it, and you can finish reading it quickly."

Yin Hang looked down.
