51: Chapter 51 Cult Organizations and Foreign Forces

According to the extraordinary rule runes he set, fusing with the Dao Foundation to influence the external environment and continuously grow stronger—this was the true essence of the extraordinary.

Ultimately, Wang An decided to leave the two steps of [Refining Spirit to Return to Emptiness] and [Refining Emptiness to Combine with Dao] to be cultivated after achieving the extraordinary.

Without tangible extraordinary rules and extraordinary energy, trying to achieve these two stages of fruition was nothing but a pipe dream.

Just as Wang An was constantly refining his path based on various ancient and modern texts, something unexpected happened on the Incarnation's side.

When the exploration team reached Wuyancha and passed through a hilly canyon, he, who had been maintaining his Qi Observation vision, discovered that the Heaven and Earth Qi from all around the valley was constantly converging toward a single node.

The overall terrain and mountain layout here were extremely similar to the Feng Shui Qi field he had set up in the villa area.

The pure forest Qi and water Qi from the outside world rapidly gathered toward this spot, like a giant whirlpool in the sea, constantly swallowing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi.

Moreover, the Incarnation clearly sensed that the converging Heaven and Earth Qi was causing the activity level of the creatures in this forest to drop lower and lower.

“This is an enhanced local Feng Shui Qi field,” the Incarnation muttered, looking toward the central node.

“This place is less than twenty kilometers away from the Huang Family Village camp. Gathering Heaven and Earth Qi at such a cost is highly likely to be man-made,” he thought to himself.

At the same time, he felt some interest in the person who had set up this local Qi field.

The Incarnation instructed everyone to slowly head west while he went to check out the situation at that node.

As he got closer and closer to the node, more and more details emerged, causing the Incarnation's heart to gradually sink.

He could clearly feel that it wasn't just the forest's pure Qi and water Qi; the Leyline Qi and Lesser Yang Qi were also constantly converging toward that node.

The power of this node and its rate of convergence clearly exceeded what a normal Feng Shui Qi field could achieve.

The closer one got, the quieter the creatures in the surrounding forest became. The vegetation was gradually withering into a grayish-green hue. The activity of birds and insects was greatly reduced, and with no animal sounds, the forest was dead silent.

Only the increasingly violent wind whipped through the canyon, rustling the lifeless forest.

A few birds perched blankly on the branches, not chirping, their eyes drooping. They didn't look like they were about to sleep, but rather completely listless.

Insects, frogs, mice, and other creatures in the jungle were no longer foraging, and even the movement of a large creature passing by failed to stir them.

It wasn't until he was within one or two hundred meters that the Incarnation finally determined what was happening at this node.

He saw over a dozen people, mostly foreigners, gathered there.

Seven or eight of them, dressed in training uniforms and holding compound crossbows, were patrolling the perimeter on high alert.

At the very center of the node stood three individuals in black robes and a leader in a blue robe. Most of their bodies were covered, but from their exposed faces, they could be roughly identified as foreigners.

Among them were a few people the Incarnation recognized—specifically Captain Zhou Mingyu from Chunhe Aluminum Industry and several of his team members.

For some reason, they were securely bound and tied up in this low-lying node. The other five were already unconscious, and only Captain Zhou Mingyu was constantly cursing.

Even from such a distance, his voice could be heard clearly.

“You bastards, let me go! Didn't we agree that you would help me change jobs? What on earth are you doing?”

“That's my job-change stone! You can't do this!”

The group remained unmoved by Captain Zhou Mingyu's curses and questions, seemingly focused on setting up the scene.

From time to time, they adjusted the positions of the wooden crosses and job-change stones, holding a set of equipment to measure something.

Based on the flow of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi, he estimated that at least a dozen job-change stones had been arranged around the area, which, combined with the suitable Qi field node of this location, allowed for such a violent effect.

Furthermore, judging by the placement of the twelve job-change stones at the center and the gradually increasing concentration of the converging, lingering Heaven and Earth Qi...

They seemed to be setting up a local chamber of high-density Heaven and Earth Qi.

However, this kind of chamber was different from the pure chamber Wang An wanted to build. It was mixed with five or six types of Heaven and Earth Qi, interwoven in extreme chaos.

“I'm warning you, our country's Special Recovery Team is active right around here.

If you don't release me, my other teammates will go back.

Once they realize we're missing, they will definitely report it. None of you will be able to escape if you run into them.”

Sensing the increasingly wrong atmosphere and their bizarre arrangements and behavior, Captain Zhou Mingyu grew more and more panicked and began to voice threats.

Faced with his threats, the foreigner in the blue robe sneered, his eyes shining with a hint of fanaticism as he spoke.

“Mr. Zhou, do not worry. Once I sacrifice you to the great deity,

we will be able to obtain the powerful classes bestowed by God. By then, we won't have to fear your Chinese Special Forces.”

Captain Zhou Mingyu didn't know if this group actually possessed such capability.

Feeling his body and mind grow weaker, he felt an increasing fear and hatred toward them. At the same time, he deeply regretted his actions, wondering why he had been so possessed as to believe these foreigners would help him change jobs. The shifting expressions on his face were extremely dramatic.

He also knew that unless someone discovered their conspiracy, given the madness of these cultists, their lives would surely be forfeit. Thus, he immediately continued to shout and scream.

“You foreign devils will die a horrible death! Help! Murder! There's a cult here...”

“These people are actually a cult.

And that part about obtaining a class by sacrificing to a deity sounds rather unreliable.”

The Incarnation was somewhat surprised. Why was this cult so certain that sacrificing to a deity would grant them classes?

From the information he had gathered so far, there was almost no discernible pattern to changing jobs.

Furthermore, inferring from the first class humans obtained, [Intelligent Life], it was highly likely that everyone could change to it.

However, for some reason, only a small number of people had successfully changed jobs. He had previously speculated that this was likely controlled by the mastermind behind the meteorite's entry into Earth.

Of course, it could also be that he was being somewhat conspiratorial, or perhaps the job-change stones were simply more compatible with certain individuals, allowing them to succeed.

From the information on class requirements provided by [Job Guidance], it was clear that perhaps the classes they wanted to change into might indeed require these ceremonial steps to meet the criteria.

The Incarnation quickly used [Job Guidance] to look up the requirements for several classes.
