Chapter 645: Chapter 616: Xuan Ji
"I never expected the Research Department could develop such technology; it’s truly impressive!"
"With this Star Map, we can greatly save manpower and resources!"
The other high-ranking members of the Divine Court nodded in agreement.
For thirty thousand years, the presence of technological civilization has become increasingly diminished, especially since the rise of Immortal experts. The status of technological civilization has plummeted to the freezing point.
In the past, before cultivators could ascend to Immortality, if technological measures could reach their peak, they could still pose a threat to ninth-level experts.
But later on.
The cultivation civilization raced far ahead, naturally outpacing technological civilization.
The Minister of Research stated: "The end of science is theology; the purpose of science is exploration and discovery. Now, with cultivation civilization flourishing, technological measures can naturally borrow from cultivation civilization to remedy their own shortcomings.
It’s just unfortunate that experts at the sixteenth level and above are too terrifying, and haven’t yielded enough samples, making it temporarily impossible to study a Star Map targeting these experts."
Speaking towards the end.
His face bore a slight regret.
If not for this.
The Star Map might even include sixteenth-level experts.
"The current Star Map is sufficient; all experts above the sixteenth level have been blocked by His Majesty the God Emperor on the Path to Immortality, with no immediate chance of emerging.
Besides, experts at the sixteenth level are beyond our current capability. Even if the Star Map can detect their presence, it has little use!"
Ji Xuan slightly shook his head.
He was already quite satisfied with the current function of the Star Map.
As of now.
The Star Map can at least observe millions of galaxies, and with continued research, monitoring the entire universe is merely a matter of time.
Then.
Ji Xuan looked toward the location of the Star Map, there were already red spots breaking through the defenses, infiltrating other galaxies, even the Cyan Yang Divine Realm had corresponding spots appearing.
"It seems the Upper Realm’s methods are much stronger than we imagined. Even with such defenses in place, they still managed to cross the Star Sea and enter the Cyan Yang Divine Realm within such a short time.
These Upper Realm cultivators are hidden dangers; they must not be allowed to act recklessly. Elder Evergreen will handle this matter!"
"No problem, is Elder Ji planning to keep them alive, or destroy them on site?"
Gu Changqing asked with a calm smile.
From the Star Map display, this red point should belong to the sixth stage, corresponding to a fourteenth-level cultivator.
Such a level of expert is just so-so in Gu Changqing’s current view.
If they couldn’t find the opponent’s trail, so be it, but now, with a clear track of the opponent, taking action is an easy task.
Ji Xuan said, "It’d be best if we could capture them alive; after all, our understanding of the Upper Realm is still limited. Though Demon Venerable Xuan Yin is an Upper Realm expert, since the battle from ancient times, he has detached from the Upper Realm.
Given such a long time interval, the Upper Realm situation must have changed.
Additionally, the Upper Realm cultivators infiltrating other galaxies should be captured with all efforts. If there is strong resistance, they may be destroyed on site!"
As the words fell.
The atmosphere in the hall was suffused with a murderous intent.
Everyone’s gaze focused on the red spots in the Star Map. It was clear from the Star Map that Upper Realm cultivators breaking through the defenses and stepping into other galaxies numbered at least in the dozens.
No one was surprised by this situation.
After all, the defenses of Cyan Yang Divine Court were hastily set, and some discrepancies were normal.
Stepping back.
Even if the defenses of Cyan Yang Divine Court were impeccable, it wouldn’t be possible to truly block all Upper Realm cultivators.
The foundation of the Upper Realm’s Three Thousand Cosmos is immeasurable, possessing powerful and mysterious methods allowing Upper Realm cultivators to enter the Lower Realm unnoticed.
Yet.
So far.
The matter of the Star Map remains a secret within the Divine Court’s high ranks.
As long as the details about the Star Map remain undisclosed, Upper Realm cultivators won’t know why their whereabouts are leaked, and thus won’t make appropriate defenses.
"The Star Map matter is of great importance. I hope today besides those present and the Research Department personnel, no one else will learn of the Star Map’s existence.
Additionally, the Research Department must ensure confidentiality.
Remember, absolutely no leaks about the Star Map, or it will be considered a betrayal of humanity!"
Ji Xuan’s expression was solemn, his eyes revealing murderous intent.
Betrayal of humanity!
Refers to the betrayal of mankind!
Since this charge was established, it’s rarely invoked.
But those charged with betrayal face extreme consequences; any cultivator associated will be implicated, and the punishment is fearsome, where even death becomes a luxury.
Due to the severity of the charge of betrayal, it’s rare for any cultivator to be labeled with it.
But once determined, rivers of blood are inevitable.
Regarding Ji Xuan’s words, all elders nodded in agreement.
To them.
The secret of the Star Map is significant; if leaked, it’s indeed akin to betrayal.
After all.
This matter concerns the survival of countless beings.
...
"This is the Cyan Yang Divine Realm; the Immortal Qi here is so dense, it’s several times more abundant than the Buddha Realm!"
Xuan Ji stepped on the ground, feeling the pervasive Immortal Qi in the heavens and earth. His ancient and tranquil face revealed an unusual expression of shock.
Such dense Immortal Qi is more terrifying than that in the Buddha Realm.
It can be observed.
The Immortal Qi in Cyan Yang Divine Realm absolutely can’t be drawn from the Path to Immortality.
Additionally.
In the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, Xuan Ji sensed the aura of an Immortal Vein.
Immortal Vein!
It’s a substance derived from the universe’s inception.
It’s well-known that the starry sky of the Lower Realm is barren, without any Immortal Vein presence. The emergence of Immortal Veins in the Cyan Yang Divine Realm is highly unusual.
Not to mention the much denser Immortal Qi in Cyan Yang Divine Realm compared to the Buddha Realm. It indicates a considerable number of Immortal Veins, with significant rank.
At this moment.
Xuan Ji truly understood why Cyan Yang Divine Realm could nurture so many experts.
With such a cultivation environment, breeding experts is not impossible.
Not to mention.
Even Xuan Ji himself, if he could cultivate in Cyan Yang Divine Realm, has the confidence to break through to the fifteenth level within a million years.
For a moment, Xuan Ji entertained the idea of claiming the entire Cyan Yang Divine Realm.
However.
This thought quickly dissipated.
The Cyan Yang Divine Realm is clouded with experts; it’s not something a mere Vajra Guardian like himself can contend with.
Additionally.
Xuan Ji did not forget his mission, which was to secretly infiltrate the Cyan Yang Divine Realm, cultivate a group of followers internally, and destabilize the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s strength, thus paving the way for the Upper Realm.
