67: Chapter 67 Deep in the Mountains

"I am very honored to represent the country in reading this 'Letter to All Citizens'!"

"Because from this day forward, historians will divide the history of all mankind into two eras!"

"A few years ago, we accidentally discovered that some animals had begun to evolve!"

Director Xiang Dahai stood before the massive Great Hall, facing thousands of cameras, and said calmly, "Even some unusual plants were discovered! Through these, we finally determined the nature of Spiritual Qi."

Behind Director Xiang Dahai, a projection began to appear.

Gigantic animals, rare plants, and even people withstanding bullets.

"These all occurred before the recovery of Spiritual Qi."

"And after the recovery of Spiritual Qi..."

As Director Xiang Dahai reached this point, the projection behind him changed again.

A figure appeared.

Bathed in thunder, the figure's entire body emitted a dazzling silver light.

"Legends have manifested!"

Director Xiang Dahai's voice rang out: "The path of martial arts has begun!"

With a wave of his hand, a human figure immediately emerged on the projection.

It was a virtual human.

"With diligent training, one can strengthen the physique and give birth to a qi sense!"

The person in the projection suddenly became slightly stronger, their abdomen turned transparent, and an illusory ball of qi appeared.

"By tempering the qi sense, turning the illusory into reality, and condensing Internal Energy, one promotes to a Martial Artist."

The projection immediately corresponded to his words.

The human figure became translucent, and a stream of Internal Energy, like a creek, suddenly appeared, constantly circulating and entering the Dantian.

"Upon becoming a Martial Artist, one can mobilize Internal Energy to walk on walls and crush stones with bare hands..."

At this point, Xiang Dahai paused slightly, turned sideways, and looked at the projection behind him: "Since there is a Third-rate, there will naturally be a Second-rate, and even a First-class..."

"A Second-rate Martial Artist opens the major acupoints throughout the body, connecting their Internal Energy with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, allowing their Internal Energy to be endless."

Red dots suddenly appeared all over the projection's body.

Those were the locations of the three hundred and sixty major acupoints.

Xiang Dahai did not dwell on it and immediately moved on to the next part.

"A First-Class Martial Artist develops supernatural wonders, and their Moves take physical form..."

At that instant, the projection began to change.

The illusory figure suddenly leaped up, transforming into a divine Dragon composed of gas, soaring and shifting.

Then, three large characters flashed out: 'Dragon God Art'!

The text faded.

Then another figure appeared.

With a sudden thrust of both palms, a golden long dragon roared out, sweeping across a hundred meters and blasting trees into powder.

'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms'!

Immediately after, a Martial Artist appeared, flames burning as they brandished a long blade.

'Burning Wood Saber Technique'!

A Martial Artist sat cross-legged, surrounded by a golden illusory bell: 'Golden Bell Shield'!

Skin as brilliant as gold, immortal and indestructible: 'Indestructible Vajra Art'!

...

Figure after figure, technique after technique appeared.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Every single person in front of a television felt their blood boil.

Each of those divine arts was absolutely legendary and well-known.

Things that originally only existed in novels were now being told to the world as real.

How could this not be astonishing?

In an instant, the entire nation was abuzz with discussion.

Even foreigners watching from abroad were shouting in excitement.

Excitedly telling those around them, "Look, CHINA, KUNGFU!"

Everyone was thrilled.

They watched the live broadcast while discussing fervently.

Xiang Dahai did not stop.

"...The era of martial arts has arrived, and the country has not forgotten you!"

"Today, the nation hereby promulgates the Cultivation Technique 'Longevity Fist'. Whether you are a Genius or an ordinary person, this technique will not disappoint you..."

On the screen, Xiang Dahai held up a booklet. Everyone could clearly see the three large characters written on the cover: Longevity Fist.

Boom!

The internet exploded.

Everyone stared intently at those three characters.

"This is the General Outline of Martial Arts!"

Xiang Dahai paused slightly and held up a thick book in his other hand.

"Next, let us talk about the Longevity Fist. Cultivating it to Major Achievement can grant a Lifespan of one hundred and fifty years..."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The entire internet nearly crashed.

A massive surge of bullet comments appeared in an instant.

On this planet, there exists only one nation with a history as long as five thousand years.

That is Huaxia!

And when it comes to the desire and pursuit of longevity!

No other country or nation can compare to this one.

Throughout the ages, they have chased longevity time and again, generation after generation, dynasty after dynasty.

Even the greatest emperor, the First Emperor, sent three hundred boys and girls in pursuit of longevity.

Though it ended in vain, they reached the island where cherry blossoms fill the fields.

Generation after generation of people chasing longevity came to no good end.

History has constantly told us that longevity does not exist!

In today's world where science and technology prevail, we are even more deeply convinced that longevity does not exist.

However!!!

Today!!!

Under the watchful eyes of the public, our Director has told us that by practicing Cultivation Techniques, one can increase their Lifespan!!!

How could this not be heart-stirring!

This is hope; this is the dawn!!!

Everyone became ecstatic.

Xiang Dahai smiled at the camera.

He deliberately remained silent.

Although there was no audience on site and he couldn't see the cheers of the millions of citizens.

Just by imagining it, he could understand that at this very moment, the entire nation was celebrating.

In the time that followed.

Director Xiang Dahai spoke again about the dangers of giant beasts in the wild, as well as precautions for practicing the Longevity Fist and the General Outline of Martial Arts.

He also stated that on the national website, one could download the Longevity Fist and the General Outline of Martial Arts for free using their ID card.

In an instant, the nation's entire web infrastructure nearly collapsed.

...

"This is actually the Longevity Fist!?"

In the mountains.

Qingshui Village.

Li Zhuang downloaded the Longevity Fist via his phone.

Looking at those familiar Moves, he was completely stunned.

"The expert is actually someone from the government!?"

He had originally thought the expert was a recluse, unknown to the world.

But looking at the fist technique he had downloaded, it was exactly the same as the one he had learned.

The whole person was dazed.

The Longevity Fist is a national Cultivation Technique. Since the expert knew it, didn't that mean the expert was definitely someone from the high levels of the government?

Otherwise, there would be no way to get the technique in advance.

"Hahaha, he's actually from the government!"

Li Zhuang burst out laughing!

"What!?" Mother Li put down her needlework and looked at Li Zhuang in confusion.

"Mom, the fist we've been practicing is the Longevity Fist. The fist the expert taught us is the Longevity Fist. The expert is from the government!!!"

Li Zhuang's eyes shone with excitement.

"Good! Good! Good!" Mother Li also became excited: "Then you must repay the country well!"

"Yes, yes!"

Li Zhuang grinned broadly, suddenly feeling that the future was promising.

...

At the same time.

Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Miaojiang.

A village was gathered here.

At this moment.

Inside the main hall, decadent sounds were drifting out.

A woman whose body radiated a wildness like white jade was staring intently at the live broadcast.

Her skin was pure white.

Exquisitely beautiful!

But in contrast, there was a tall man lying on his back on the floor.

But right now, the man's expression was filled with pain.

Suddenly.

The man's body stiffened!

A strange expression emerged; excitement and pain actually appeared on his face at the same time, making his expression look extremely distorted.

The beautiful woman, twisting her waist, suddenly stopped. She looked down and said indifferently to the man: "Truly good to look at but useless. Making a contribution to this Venerable One is a blessing you've earned over eight lifetimes!"

As she spoke, she suddenly pressed a palm against the man's heart.

"Ah!"

In an instant, the man wailed incessantly.

One could see.

At the man's heart, a bulge the size of a grain of rice actually rose up.

The bulge kept turning and pushing up, as if something was about to burst through the skin.

The scene was very horrifying!

It also caused the man extreme agony, making him roll all over the floor.

The beautiful woman applied a little force, and the man was immediately pinned in place.

This made the man's pain even more intense!

And just at that moment!

The skin at the man's heart ruptured, and a speck of golden light emerged.

Seeing this, the woman smiled slightly, opened her red lips, and swallowed the golden light into her stomach.

Her eyes lowered. After a moment, her entire Aura surged greatly, and only then did she open her eyes.

The man beneath her had already lost his breath.

"Someone, come!"

The woman stood up, her slender body radiating a pure white luster.

"Sect Master!"

The door was immediately opened, and a woman wearing unique ethnic clothing stepped in, looking respectfully at the beautiful woman.

As for the dead man, she looked at him with indifference.

"Did you watch the live broadcast!?"

The beautiful woman picked up a tissue.

"Sect Master, we all watched it. The country has promulgated Cultivation Techniques!"

A flush appeared on the face of the woman in ethnic clothing, as if she were thinking of something wonderful!

"Mhm!"

The beautiful woman said calmly: "With the cultivation of techniques, the life force of the Cauldrons will surely be even more vigorous! From now on, capture only Martial Artists. Don't touch the ordinary people; let them Cultivate!"

"Yes!"

The woman in ethnic clothing immediately revealed her white teeth.

"Go!"

"Start from the mountains first. That Director Xiang did say that mutated creatures in the deep mountains are very dangerous!"

The beautiful woman smiled as she put on her clothes, becoming even more radiant!

"Yes!"

The woman in ethnic clothing seemed to see future happiness and was all smiles.

It's dangerous in the deep mountains; it's only normal for some people to disappear!

As for the future.

The Sect Master is about to reach Major Achievement in her divine art. Who will be able to oppose her then!

Just like that Bai Zhu, even the country will have to think twice!

Afterward, she dragged the man's corpse to the back mountain like a dead dog.

Along the way, women appeared from time to time, but they were all accustomed to this scene.

Thud!

The man's corpse was thrown down.

It was a cave, pitch black, with the bottom invisible.

Rustling sounds that made one's scalp tingle drifted out from time to time.
