“Mr. Qin, let me introduce myself first. I don’t think there’s much information about me out there.
“My name is Guan Zexiao. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” The President smiled.
He brewed a cup of tea for Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan took the teacup and took a sniff. His expression changed slightly.
Although he did not know tea well, the cup of tea in his hand was somewhat special.
There was actually a trace of spiritual energy.
Guan Zexiao said, “This tea is called the Enlightenment Tea. It comes from the cultivation civilization of the past.
“However, too much time has passed. The energy inside is almost entirely lost, but it’s still better than all the tea leaves in the world.”
Qin Chuan took a sip. It was sweet and refreshing, with a hint of bitterness. It was truly delicious.
“Mr. Qin, what did you want to talk to me about today?” Guan Zexiao asked.
Qin Chuan put down his teacup and asked, “President, what do you think about cultivation?”
Guan Zexiao thought for a while and said, “There’s no one else here, so I’ll tell you the truth.
“To be honest, I really look forward to cultivating.
“Immortal cultivation allows one to live forever. But to me, the most important thing is to have the ability to protect what I want to protect.”
As he spoke, scenes flashed across in Guan Zexiao’s memory.
He was a reincarnator.
When he was alive, he was a very ordinary person. After that, he was just a miserable office worker.
After working terribly hard, he finally bought his first school district house1 when he was 40 years old. His child also successfully entered the desired primary school.
Although he had to pay back a lot of mortgages every month, he could still afford it. Furthermore, his family was harmonious and happy. Everything was progressing well.
But, one day, doomsday arrived.
Giant beasts the size of mountains appeared in the sea.
They trampled through the human cities with their massive bodies.
Human weapons were only able to tickle the giant beasts.
In the end, the electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, and nuclear weapons were finally effective.
However, humans were still unable to resist the endless stream of monsters.
Soon, cities were reduced to ruins.
Guan Zexiao’s city was located was no exception.
His wife, children, and family all died in this disaster.
The loss of his family changed his life.
Guan Zexiao chose to join the army and resist the monsters. He had gloriously sacrificed himself for the world.
However, after his death, he was reborn and returned to his childhood.
Since fate allowed him to be reborn, he swore that he would never let history repeat itself.
As a reincarnated person who knew what would happen in the future and who could listen to the thoughts of others, he knew he had special powers.
He became the most powerful person in Xia Country at such a young age.
With his hard work, Xia Country’s technology developed rapidly.
Moreover, he convinced the world’s major powers that in order to resist the monster calamity in the future, the superpowers had to work together to form the Human Alliance.
But in recent years, there were occasionally monsters that awakened.
Killing the monsters would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Thus, countries used wars to cover up their battles with monsters.
Guan Zexiao was a reincarnator and was once a member of the monster resistance army.
No one knew better than him how powerful the monsters were.
Humanity’s current technology was still no match against the monsters.
It was obviously unrealistic to enhance human technology in a short period of time.
Therefore, he thought of cultivation.
Although science proved that there was no such thing as immortal cultivation in this world, he secretly sent troops to search for it in order to resist the monsters.
Hard work paid off. He had finally found it.
However, it was only of the immortal cultivation civilization that had once existed.
He didn’t know whether cultivators still remained until he saw Qin Chuan flying through the air.
Guan Zexiao was certain that immortal cultivators existed.
Indeed, it was confirmed.
And now he was right in front of him.
However, he now had a question. His ability to listen to the thoughts of others didn’t seem to work anymore. He couldn’t hear the thoughts of this cultivator across him.
Otherwise, he could have been more proactive in his conversation and would not have been so submissive.
Because of this ability, he was able to get the large countries to work with him and establish the Human Alliance to fight against the monsters.
Presently.
Qin Chuan spoke, “From what you said earlier, it’s not hard to tell that you wish to cultivate.”
“That’s right!” Guan Zexiao did not deny it. Otherwise, he would not have gone all out to search for something so unrealistic.
Qin Chuan took out a stone. It was the Heart Refining Rock.
“This is…” Guan Zexiao was puzzled.
“Place your palm on it.” Qin Chuan instructed.
Without hesitation, Guan Zexiao placed his hand on it.
He did not know what this stone was and whether it would harm him, but he knew that Qin Chuan could kill him with a snap of his fingers. Guan Zexiao didn’t think Qin Chuan would make things so complicated, nor would he resort to such methods.
Very soon, the Heart Refining Rock lit up with stars.
One, two, three…
Ten stars lit up in total.
“Very good, you have passed!” Qin Chuan said coolly.
Guan Zexiao was puzzled.
After which, Qin Chuan asked, “You should have some time, right?”
“What do you mean?” Guan Zexiao was confused.
Qin Chuan patiently said, “Don’t you want to cultivate? I will bring you to a place later. It will take some time.”
“I see!” Guan Zexiao pondered. “How long will it take?”
“At least three hours.”
“Alright! I’ll tell the people outside.”
Guan Zexiao picked up his communicator and explained the situation to the people outside.
After all, he was currently the highest authority in the country. There were some things that had to be explained clearly, or else there would be big trouble.
A few minutes later.
Guan Zexiao put his communicator away. Everything was settled.
“We can go now.”
“Sure!”
Qin Chuan stood up and gestured for Guan Zexiao to come to his side.
Guan Zexiao walked over calmly, but his heart began beating faster.
Qin Chuan summoned the system interface and tapped on the sect. The space around him instantly distorted, and the two of them disappeared into thin air.
At this moment, Guan Zexiao was in a tunnel filled with starlight. He was excited, but his head was dizzy.
There was a blinding flash of white light.
“We’re here!”
At this moment, Qin Chuan’s voice rang out in his ears.
Guan Zexiao slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, his pupils constricted as they emitted a bright glow, filled with shock.
“This is…” Guan Zexiao was shocked and speechless.
In front of him were two lofty gates that towered into the clouds.
Above their heads were auspicious clouds that emitted multi-colored auspicious lights. In the clouds, one could vaguely see golden dragons and colorful phoenixes.
Qin Chuan smiled. “Welcome to the cultivation world.
“Follow me!”
Qin Chuan walked towards the gates.
Guan Zexiao was stunned for a moment before he immediately moved.
After passing through the gates, Qin Chuan stopped.
He said slowly, “To enter my immortal sect, you must first pay respects to these gates.”
“Yes!”
Guan Zexiao was full of excitement. He bowed towards the gates.
In an instant, the towering stone pillars at the gates suddenly lit up with colorful light, and the beasts on the surface of the stone pillar instantly soared into the sky.
Swoosh!
A holy light enveloped Guan Zexiao.
This was a sign that a Soul had awakened.
Qin Chuan was somewhat taken aback, but he also felt that it was very logical.
After all, this person had been reborn and carried the aura of a protagonist.
