With the Jieke Group becoming the sixth permanent member on Blue Star, the global power dynamics have undergone significant changes.
Due to the recent decline of Russia, there is now talk of the upper three permanents and the lower three permanents.
The upper three are the Beautiful Country, Hua Country, and the rising Jieke Group, while the lower three are the gradually declining Russia, the Great British Empire, and France.
These six entities form the dominant powers on Blue Star. Among them, the Jieke Group is an emerging force, holding strong biological gene technology and mecha technology, genetic warriors, biological armor, Spider Main Battle Mecha, Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bomber, Devourer-class Deep Diving Cruiser, and Destroyer-class battleship...
This domineering and advanced strength in weaponry has left countries around the world feeling the pressure.
Thus, even though the warfare has paused, the international environment remains turbulent beneath the surface.
All countries worldwide have unanimously increased military spending, learning from the Jieke Group's technologies like genes and mechas.
Also, following the end of the war, the issue of handling Penglai Fairy Island has become the most pressing concern for all countries.
The previous war, to put it bluntly, was caused by the emergence of Penglai Fairy Island; everyone participated in it to compete for control of this ultra-ancient civilization island. Undoubtedly, the Jieke Group became the biggest winner.
Now, armed with the Luanyang Air-Space Strategic Bombers deployed in the Great Japan, and the Yuan Shou Battlecruiser on the sea, even the Beautiful Country finds it hard to compete with the Jieke Group over Penglai Fairy Island, as their naval presence in the Pacific is almost non-existent.
But just when countries around the world thought the Jieke Group would monopolize Penglai Fairy Island, the Jieke Group unexpectedly did not take the initiative to develop it further.
Instead, they issued a public announcement: 'Considering Penglai Fairy Island's unknowns and risks, current scientific and technical methods are not mature enough. After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily halt development to protect its resources.
But the Jieke Group will not monopolize the benefits of Penglai Fairy Island. This is a treasure for all humanity. In the coming days, the Jieke Group will consider inviting renowned scientists from various countries to form the Penglai Project Department to conduct preliminary scientific research and filming, and open it for tourism, allowing everyone to witness the charm of this Immortal Island.'
The Jieke Group's announcement surprised countries worldwide. If they had this initiative, they would have tightly held Penglai Fairy Island, guarding against any external view.
But admittedly, this win-win collaborative approach was met with enthusiasm from all countries.
Everyone eagerly contributed money and effort, striving to join the Penglai Project Department formed by the Jieke Group to participate in the research and development of Penglai Fairy Island, making even more compromises with the Jieke Group in the process.
The world, along with the Jieke Group's cooperative win-win model, began filming documentary after documentary on Penglai Fairy Island and opening it to tourism, allowing more people to witness the wonders of this Immortal Island.
Invisibly, the faith of Blue Star people gathered onto Penglai Fairy Island through this promotion, creating a massive force of faith.
The countries of Blue Star did not realize that the Jieke Group's gracious opening of Penglai Fairy Island was a deliberate ploy, aimed at cultivating more believers, providing faith power, and creating an unprecedented god on Blue Star.
......
On the Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace.
Su Jie sat cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation, five-colored purple aura looming above his head, and the enormous faith power, transformed by the Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace, became an invisible river of faith, absorbed into Su Jie's body.
Rumble!
It was as if the Heavenly River had collapsed, and muffled thunder boomed through the void.
The Tao River was opened, and boundless power was unleashed, forming a Chaos Dharma Form with wings on its back and a single eye within.
Within the Dharma Form, 72 radiant Golden Cores were faintly visible, each like a small sun.
In Tianyuan World, a newly arisen Yang God Cultivator typically had only ten Golden Cores, demonstrating how far Su Jie had progressed on the path of the Yang God.
When Su Jie opened his eyes, the single eye of the Chaos Dharma Form opened simultaneously.
It was like divine light from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, illuminating all things, with everything on Penglai Fairy Island revealed in transparency. Its internal mechanisms were perceived by Su Jie as clearly as lines on his palm.
This was a higher-level dimension than Divine Sense, able to see for miles away in full detail, presented within Su Jie's mind.
"Taoist Platform Realm, Seventh Layer."
Su Jie murmured softly to himself, his Yang God repeatedly strengthened by the absorbed faith power.
And the soul and physical body were interconnected; the growth of the Yang God would nourish the physical body in return.
Especially a few days ago, when Su Jie's cultivation of the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill reached the tenth level, a vast torrent of Holy Blood surged within.
This was a level unimaginable to cultivators from the Tianyuan World who practiced this Demon Technique; it was only due to the booming development of the Blue Star Blood Gold Industry, where worldwide excess money prompted widespread blood donations, that this transformation from quantity to quality occurred, allowing Su Jie to reach such a realm.
The tenth level of the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, combined with Su Jie's progress in the Yang God, enabled him to reach the pinnacle of the Taoist Platform Realm in such a short time.
The next step was to take the most crucial step and achieve the Purple Mansion Realm.
Cultivators of this realm stood at the pinnacle of the Da Li Dynasty and were revered as Purple Mansion Great Powers.
If the Yunling Realm trained meridians and acupoints, the Secret Treasure Realm trained the internal organs, the Taoist Platform Realm trained the seven orifices, then the Purple Mansion Realm trained the brain.
The so-called Purple Mansion was the Upper Elixir Field, located three inches inward between the two eyebrows, where the Upper Elixir Field resides.
The seven orifices link to the Upper Dantian, which is also a prerequisite for the Purple Mansion Realm.
Breaking through from the Daoist Platform Realm to the Purple Mansion Realm, as it involves the most nerve-rich and fragile human brain, requires stimulating the acupoints in the brain region and the Divine Soul, which carries great risk. Without caution, it is easy for blood to flow from the seven orifices or for one to go astray, becoming confused and insane.
However, once the Purple Mansion Realm is achieved, the Divine Soul can reach its limit, allowing one to observe the Tao River and refine the Yang God Dharma Image.
But someone like Su Jie, who already managed to create the Yang God Dharma Image in the Daoist Platform Realm, is a rare genius in the Tianyuan World, unseen in a century, beyond common logic.
Thus, for Su Jie, the biggest challenge in advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm does not exist; he has already achieved the Yang God Dharma Image.
As for any potential risks from stimulating the brain acupoints, Su Jie, who is at the tenth level of the Blood Sea Devouring Sky Demon Skill, could survive even if you blew his head off, let alone the minor life-threatening damage to the brain acupoints, which is insignificant to him.
"Hundred Days to Purple Mansion."
Su Jie had a premonition; typically, a strong practitioner on the seventh realm of the Daoist Platform would take decades of painstaking effort to hope to succeed in breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm.
But Su Jie has no need for such trouble. For him, a hundred days is the deadline he set for himself to advance to the Purple Mansion Realm, allowing him to most simply and directly stimulate the brain region, leading straight to the path of Purple Mansion Great Power.
Just as Su Jie had just successfully advanced, he heard laughter and chatter coming from beside him.
"Third Level, Su Jie, I've advanced to the Third Level of the Yunling Realm."
At this moment, a graceful figure ran out from the woods, approaching Su Jie with a face full of joy. It was Liu Yingying, who was accompanying Su Jie in his cultivation here.
"Not bad, your progress is very fast."
Su Jie patted Liu Yingying's head. With unlimited resource supply, such advancement speed is quite normal. When he first entered the Ghost Ridge Palace, he didn't have the same treatment as Liu Yingying.
Buzz!
The thousand-hand centipede also crawled out from Liu Yingying's sleeve, straightening its upper body, mimicking Su Jie's gesture as it patted Liu Yingying on the shoulder, showcasing a demeanor of a predecessor admiring a genius disciple.
These days, Liu Yingying has formed a good relationship with the thousand-hand centipede. On Penglai Fairy Island, it was the thousand-hand centipede guiding Liu Yingying, becoming her mentor and friend.
"Hehe."
Liu Yingying pursed her lips, feeling quite happy from the praise. Although she held a high position outside, at that time her authority came from Su Jie and the Jieke Group.
Cultivation, as such a power that results from personal growth, is a source of strength that will not collapse with the disappearance of an organization or force. Moreover, the transformation and sublimation of the body through cultivation had made her completely enamored with it.
"Su Jie, what level is my cultivation talent compared to in the Tianyuan World?"
Liu Yingying blinked her eyes, and as she spoke, she unleashed a palm strike towards the open ground. The ground seemed as if it had been hit by a defensive grenade, with burnt soil overturned, showcasing considerable destructive power.
"To possess this strength in such a short time, your talent can be considered respectable."
"Ah! Just respectable?"
Liu Yingying felt somewhat dejected. The sudden surge in strength had made her feel quite pleased with herself, yet being told this by Su Jie inevitably dealt her a bit of a blow.
"In the Tianyuan World, mentioning my name would be more useful than your current strength. Of course, it would be best not to mention it in front of the Righteous sect."
Su Jie shrugged, further sparking Liu Yingying's curiosity.
She rarely heard Su Jie talk about things on that side of the Tianyuan World, and was itching with curiosity about that world of cultivation.
"Today, I'm taking you over to see the real world of cultivation."
Just as Su Jie spoke, he suddenly sensed something and looked towards the south.
The next moment, a red wedding dress materialized from the void in front of Su Jie.
A woman in a phoenix crown and brocade robe, with snow-white skin and unparalleled beauty, stepped out of the void.
Upon her appearance, a strange coldness swept through the area, permeated with the aura of decay.
"Husband, is this your little wife?"
Han Ruyan, with an expressionless yet exquisitely beautiful face, looked at Liu Yingying with a pair of serene, cold eyes.
Liu Yingying's heart tightened; at the moment she saw Han Ruyan, she felt her blood nearly freeze, her spiritual power stopped circulating, and her brain instinctively screamed in fear, warning her body to stay away from this woman.
"Wife, calm down."
Su Jie felt helpless, standing between Han Ruyan and Liu Yingying. Although he had long anticipated this scene, its actual arrival gave Su Jie, a Purple Mansion Realm preparatory, quite a headache.
Han Ruyan glanced at Su Jie and then at Liu Yingying, her tone somber: "Protecting her like this, so she is more important to you than I am?"
