52: Chapter 52 The Reincarnation Cult's Prison Break! Jiang Jin: Not taking the glorious path? Then die!

Walking halfway, he remembered something and turned to Zhou Guanying.

"We are all Transcendent now, so we can't be like before, holding a Desert Eagle in the left hand and a Barrett in the right; we need to make some changes."

"Find out if there are any famous manual blacksmiths in Lingjiang City and have them forge a batch of high-quality cold weapons for us."

Jiang Jin stroked his chin in thought and added:

"Sabers, swords, spears, halberds, lances, axes, daggers, shields, forks, rakes, and the rest of the eighteen weapons—get a few of each."

"As for compatibility with cold weapons, it will take long-term practice to know which one truly suits you."

"Yes!" Zhou Guanying replied solemnly.

Then, Jiang Jin looked at the empty Bajiao Peak summit, lost in thought:

"This place is far from the city center, and driving daily isn't very fast. It would be much more convenient if we had a helicopter."

"Do you know how to buy a helicopter?"

The team members looked blank. Although they had often ridden in helicopters in the past, they knew nothing about purchasing them for civilian use.

"Master, you can request one directly from Yanjing, or contact someone here in Xiangnan Province."

From behind, Zhao Ruohan walked over with small, quick steps and said to Jiang Jin:

"My father has some status in Xiangnan Province, so it won't be a problem to requisition a helicopter."

"We have quite a few people. One probably won't be enough for daily travel, so let's get two military helicopters."

"Ruohan understands; I will contact my father shortly."

Zhao Ruohan thought for a few moments, then bowed and replied.

"Hmm." Jiang Jin nodded and left.

Lin Shaoyong exclaimed:

"Master is still the best. Just a few words and he can requisition two helicopters. That saves a billion in cash."

"What are you thinking? Compared to the United States' Black Hawk, one of these high-spec transport helicopters costs at least seven or eight hundred million, and they can't be bought on the market at all. These are big guys that civilian use can't even touch."

Liu Jie, who was very knowledgeable about helicopters, shook his head and said: "With transport helicopters, executing Transcendent missions in the future will be much more comfortable."

"Brother Liu, don't you know how to fly a helicopter? Teach me when the time comes, I want to fly one too!"

Lin Shaoyong seemed to have forgotten his previous teasing of Liu Jie and said with a grin.

"Fly a helicopter? You big lug, forget it. I'm afraid you'll crash it!"

"How is that possible! After stepping into the Transcendent realm, not only has my Comprehension Ability improved, but my thinking and intelligence have also increased several times over. Learning to fly a helicopter would be like child's play!"

"Pfft, go learn in your dreams. I wouldn't dare be your flight instructor..."

"Brother Liu, don't be like that... I've had a dream of becoming an astronaut since I was a kid...!"

"Astronaut? I'll give you a slap in the face first..."

"..."

Top floor of the homestay.

Jiang Jin lay on a lounge chair under a parasol on the balcony, his gaze drifting toward the distant mountains and green waters, which looked like an ink painting.

Just as he was feeling relaxed and admiring the masterful craftsmanship of nature, a Divine Thought transmission suddenly echoed in his mind:

[Master, something has happened.]

"What is it?" Jiang Jin replied to Mo Wudi with confusion.

[Your college roommate, "Qin Ling," was broken out of prison in Guangnan Province last night!]

"Someone broke someone out of prison in the East? And they succeeded?"

[Yes, I only learned about it this morning through an old subordinate.]

[It is reported that an insider acted as a spy, providing clues to help the Samsara Cult fanatics during the prison break.]

"Have they found Qin Ling's hiding place yet?"

Mo Wudi transmitted: [Based on a few blurry satellite images, it is certain that Qin Ling has crossed the border blockade and arrived abroad.]

"No way, they actually let them escape?"

A hint of gravity appeared beneath Jiang Jin's speechless expression.

Back in school, his relationship with Qin Ling was actually quite good.

But as the various dark dealings of the Samsara Cult gradually surfaced, his perception of Qin Ling continued to decline. Former friendship didn't hold much weight compared to his own interests.

[I haven't seen the specific internal investigation, but in my opinion, someone in Yanjing must have made a move!]

[Otherwise, no matter how capable the Samsara Cult is, even with top-tier foreign armed support, it would be difficult to break out of prison so wantonly and escape unscathed.]

"Didn't the Wang Family already exchange benefits with me? The 'life extension' they craved is actually not a big problem given the Transcendent spiritual items. Why would they still take such a risk and continue to cooperate with the Samsara Cult?"

Jiang Jin was somewhat puzzled.

For the great families in Yanjing, gold and money held little temptation. The only thing they valued was the Samsara Cult's terrifying... biological genetic technology!

And wasn't the reason the Samsara Cult could exist abroad precisely because they possessed "biological life extension technology" that far exceeded outsiders' imagination?

A group of greedy, death-fearing power brokers meeting scientific maniacs with life-extension technology—wasn't that a match made in heaven?

But now that a better choice had appeared, were they really going to keep going down this dark path?

Jiang Jin thought.

Based on the methods of those great families, even if they weren't worth a toe of the Wang Family.

They still possessed enormous energy. Under such circumstances, obtaining a trace of clues about the Transcendent revival wasn't actually very difficult.

"...Could it be that they want something else?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Jin's eyes.

[I can't see it clearly either. I'm afraid only by dragging those people out and interrogating them under torture can we learn the core inside story.]

"Alright, I understand."

"Send the summary of the Samsara Cult's overseas research dens to Zhao Ruohan. In a few days, I will send the Executioner Squad to clear them out."

[Master, understood!]

The Divine Connection Mark transmission disconnected.

Jiang Jin lay on the lounge chair, one hand behind his head, his gaze looking far into the mountain ranges.

He picked up the juice pressed from Transcendent green grapes beside him, took a light sip, and murmured to himself:

"The human heart is the most unpredictable. Once they see the temptation of huge benefits, they will abandon everything and rush toward a new 'grand wish'."

"But perhaps you don't understand that beneath this so-called grand wish lies a... death warrant that is enough to send you falling into Hell!"

"You refuse to walk the glorious Dao of revival, choosing instead to pursue another eerie path through the Evil Path. Since you don't want to 'work' for me, then go to Hell!"

As his cold and ruthless voice fell, Jiang Jin's consciousness left reality and entered the Singularity Universe.

In the cold, pitch-black Void Realm.

Apart from a closed world glowing with a hazy light screen, not far from it, there was a vast, magnificent golden temple.

A slight ripple in space-time appeared, and Jiang Jin's consciousness manifested in this Void Realm.

"I must say, although the Singularity Universe is just a tiny fragment from the beginning of the Big Bang of the real Universe, its internal spatial scale is still vast. Looking out, I can't see the end at all."

As Jiang Jin sighed, a look of contemplation appeared on his face.

"In the future, I must make reasonable use of this empty Void Realm; otherwise, it's too much of a waste to just leave it like this."

"Perhaps, once the Origin Continent grows and the World Origin points are abundant, I can create 'experimental worlds' in this Void Realm to... verify the development of different systems of Cultivate?"
