I fabricated myths to guide the revival of spiritual energy.

[United States, Washington, Pentagon, Joint Operations Room]

[Time: 13:00 Beijing Time]

"Bang!"

A heavy coffee cup was slammed onto the conference table, its brown liquid splattering all over top-secret documents.

The Defense Minister's face was darker than the coffee in his cup. Pointing to the high-resolution photo just transmitted back by the KH-12 "Keyhole" reconnaissance satellite on the large screen, he roared:

"Can someone explain to me what this thing is?!"

"Just yesterday, that was a desolate canyon! And this morning, an air force base has appeared? And it's floating in the sky?"

In the conference room, a dozen top physicists, intelligence analysts, and generals looked at each other in deathly silence.

Finally, Dr. Smith, NASA's chief astrophysicist, stood up shakily. He held a freshly printed data report in his hand, as if reading a death sentence for physics.

"Mr. Minister, this is not an air force base..."

Dr. Smith took off his glasses and rubbed his throbbing temples. "Based on spectral analysis and gravity wave detection, these...floating objects are rock, soil, water, and a large amount of jade structure."

"The total mass is approximately...27 billion tons."

The moment this number was announced, a collective gasp filled the conference room.

27 billion tons!

What does this mean? It's equivalent to uprooting dozens of the main peaks of the Himalayas!

"Where are the thrusters?" the Defense Secretary asked urgently. "An object of this mass suspended in the air must have enormous engines at work! Has thermal imaging detected any heat sources?"

"no."

Dr. Smith shook his head in despair. "No heat source, no magnetic levitation reaction, no jet nozzles... In fact, according to our calculations, it doesn't even meet aerodynamic requirements. Logically, those floating islands should have collapsed instantly under gravity, triggering a disaster equivalent to a magnitude 9 earthquake."

He pointed to the majestic main peak on the screen:

"But it just stayed there. Motionless. As if the gravity there had been... forcibly altered to zero by some force."

"God..."

A general, gazing at the misty, celestial palace in the photograph, muttered to himself, "This is unscientific. It violates Newton's laws, it violates relativity, it violates everything!"

"Perhaps..." the intelligence chief said grimly, "the Chinese have mastered the 'extraordinary power' we're looking for. And they no longer intend to hide it."

He zoomed in on a section of the photo, pointing to the four gleaming Chinese characters on the massive archway.

The intelligence agency's translation expert immediately began translating in a low voice:

Kun Lun University.

Kunlun University.

"A university?!" The Minister of Defense exclaimed as if he had heard the biggest joke of the century. "You mean, they built a sky city that defies the laws of physics just to open a school??"

……

If the reaction from the top leadership was one of panic, then the reaction from the general public was one of utter disbelief.

Since the authorities did not block the news (and even deliberately fueled it), the videos and photos taken by the first group of tourists swept across the entire internet like a virus.

In just half an hour, the Weibo hot search list was dominated by it.

All of the top ten topics were related to "Kunlun".

#FloatingIslandAppearsInKunlunMountains# (Breaking News)

#Kunlun University# (Breaking News)

#Is this what cultivation is?# (Boiling)

#Newton must be turning in his grave# (Hot)

#Am I the only one who thinks the calligraphy on that archway is really cool?# (New)

In the comments section, hundreds of millions of netizens went into a frenzy.

[The Salty Fish Who Just Wants to Lie Down]: "WC! WC! WC! Unfortunately, I'm uncultured; one 'WC' is all I need! Is this special effects? Can someone tell me which movie trailer this is?"

[Professor Zhang from the Physics Department]: "I am a verified PhD in Physics. After watching the video, judging from the refraction of light and shadow and the interaction of clouds... this cannot be CGI. If this is real, I suggest burning all current physics textbooks."

[The Way of Nature]: "I've said it long ago! The Dharma-ending Age is over! Where are those who say I'm a fraud for practicing Qigong on the mountain? Come out and show yourself! I'm going to Kunlun to become a disciple!"

[A student who failed the college entrance exam]: "Wait, isn't the key university 'Kunlun University'? Since it's a university, doesn't it require a college entrance exam score? I only scored 250 points, do I still have a chance? I'm waiting online, it's urgent!"

[Keyboard Warrior 007]: "Wake up, upstairs! They're cultivating immortality, they need spiritual roots! You should save your points for roasting sweet potatoes. But seriously... this is way too hardcore, they've practically built the school in the sky?"

People were shocked, celebrating, and complaining.

But behind these playful words lies a deep-seated emotion.

Almost every Chinese person grew up watching "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods". Who hasn't dreamed of riding a sword and flying away?

But now, the dream is over.

Open your eyes, and the dream is right before you.

……

[Beijing - Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Regular Press Conference]

Compared to the online celebration, the atmosphere here was so heavy it was almost palpable.

The audience was filled with reporters from all over the world, all of whom were pointing their cameras and microphones at the spokesperson on stage.

A CNN reporter stood up impatiently, his tone aggressive:

"Mr. Spokesperson, regarding the unidentified suspended object that appeared over the Kunlun Mountains this morning, the US believes it may be a highly threatening new type of military fortification. Is China secretly testing some kind of anti-gravity weapon? Does this violate international security conventions?"

The spokesperson smiled, adjusted his glasses, and spoke with his usual calm and composure:

"My friend, you have a very rich imagination."

"We have already issued a relevant announcement regarding the situation at Kunlun Mountain."

"That's not a military fortress, nor is it a weapon."

"That is the latest private higher education institution approved in our country."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

All the reporters thought they had misheard.

Private?! Higher education institution?!

"Are you...are you serious?" the CNN reporter exclaimed in disbelief. "A school suspended two thousand meters in the air, without any supporting structure?"

"Yes."

The spokesperson nodded slightly, his eyes revealing an indescribable pride—the confidence that came from having the necessary expertise.

"This school is called Kunlun University, and it is dedicated to exploring the deep integration of human potential and natural science."

"As for why it's floating..."

The spokesperson paused, then quoted the official statement previously given by Gu Qing:

"This is due to the unique magnetic field environment of the Kunlun Mountains region and the 'quantum magnetic levitation effect' produced by the school's unique building materials. It falls within the normal scope of natural science."

What the hell is quantum magnetic levitation?!

The foreign journalists in the audience were going crazy. You call the force that lifted mountains weighing billions of tons "normal natural science"? Are your Eastern science books different from ours?!

"in addition."

The spokesperson's smile faded, and his voice became serious:

"Given the campus's unique geographical location and teaching environment, the nation has designated a 500-kilometer radius centered on the main peak of Kunlun as a 'Special Administrative Teaching Zone'."

"Any aircraft or individual entering this area without permission will be considered a violation of our airspace."

Please don't say you weren't warned.

……

【Kunlun - Edge of Death Valley】

Night falls.

But tonight in Kunlun, there is no darkness.

The thirty-three fairy islands floating in the clouds were lit up with countless lights.

It wasn't the cold light of electric lights, but a warm yellow halo formed by countless luminous pearls and ever-burning lamps, reflecting the starry sky above.

From a distance, it looks like a celestial palace fallen to earth.

Thousands of herders who had not yet been able to evacuate far spontaneously knelt on the Gobi Desert and worshipped the sacred mountain.

And at the very top of the highest Taiqing Hall.

Gu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scattered campfires below the mountain and listening to the chanting carried on the wind.

On his system panel, the number in the "Faith Value" column was jumping wildly at an alarming rate.

1000+

5000+

10000+

……

"They only made an appearance, and they've already reaped so much?"

Gu Qing felt the power within his body gradually filling up due to the surge in his faith power. His previously somewhat ethereal nascent soul was becoming increasingly solid. (His faith power was so high that it increased effortlessly.)

But that's not enough.

Gu Qing raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the atmosphere, looking at the satellites that were spying on this place from space.

"Since you're so curious, I'll send you an 'invitation'."

Gu Qing reached out and pinched the jade slip containing the pre-prepared [Admissions Brochure] between two fingers. "System, activate the [Global Projection] function."

"Let this brochure be imprinted in the minds of everyone who sees this."
