Reiki Revival
Back in the courtyard, Zhong Ling began to plan the future of Blue Star.
Technological civilization has entered the fast lane, but the revival of spiritual energy has opened another window for this world.
Walking on one leg is not as steady as walking on two legs.
She could sit back and do nothing, allowing the planet to evolve into immortal cultivators on its own after hundreds or even thousands of years.
However, those cultivators have no inheritance, no guidance, and no constraints. For a modern society that has established a stable order, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
So, a week later, Qiao Jianmin received a call from Zhong Ling. The content of the call was very simple. She wanted to meet with Li Zhenhua.
…
In the office, in addition to Li Zhenhua, Qiao Jianmin and Zhou Zhenguo, there were several other faces, all of whom were core figures of Daxia.
The atmosphere was solemn and everyone's eyes were focused on the young woman.
"Comrade Zhong Ling, you can tell me what you want to say now." Li Zhenhua spoke first.
Zhong Ling nodded slightly and got straight to the point: "I came here today to tell you something. The spiritual energy of Blue Star is slowly recovering."
"Spiritual energy?"
This word was not unfamiliar to everyone present. The popularity of "The Secret of Immortality" gave them a preliminary understanding of "Qi".
But the revival of spiritual energy?
Qiao Jianmin was the first to react. He thought of what Zhong Ling had said in the live broadcast, and a thought occurred to him: "You mean... in the future, there might be people in Daxia who can practice cultivation?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a necessity," Zhong Ling corrected.
"Although the process will be long, perhaps it will take a hundred years for the first true immortal cultivator to appear, this trend is irreversible."
Everyone present was a talented person, and they almost instantly figured out the crisis behind it.
How should an individual with extraordinary powers be constrained by society?
Are the existing laws, morals and order still effective in his eyes?
What if there is not just one such person, but a group?
That would be a complete subversion of the existing social system.
Li Zhenhua frowned. He asked in a deep voice, "Comrade Zhong Ling, in your opinion, how should we deal with this? Should we...nip it in the bud?"
Li Zhenhua didn't want to say this, but for the stability of the country and the people's safe lives, he had to consider the worst possible scenario.
"Strangle?" Zhong Ling chuckled and shook her head.
"Why should we suppress it? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. It's better to drain it than to block it. If used well, it will be another wing for the Great Xia civilization to take off."
She paused, looked at everyone, and continued, "My suggestion is to prioritize technology and supplement it with cultivation."
"Technology is the primary focus, with cultivation as a supplement... However, human desires are endless. Once power is gained, it's inevitable that some people will harbor evil intentions.
How should we punish a criminal who can fly, move mountains, and fill the sea? This will cause great panic and harm to ordinary people."
His concerns were also the concerns of everyone present. This was not groundless worry, but was based on an understanding of human nature.
"What you are worried about is nothing more than the issue of restraint." Zhong Ling had anticipated this.
She stood up and walked to the center of the office. Everyone looked at her in confusion.
She just raised her bare hand and slowly drew a line in the air.
Specks of golden light gathered at her fingertips, quickly outlining the outline of an archway more than one meter tall.
"What is this?" Qiao Jianmin asked.
"I call it the Gate of Heavenly Law."
"Everyone, now that spiritual energy has revived, Daxia must take the initiative, establish a formal system, and train its own regular army."
"This gate is prepared for this purpose. All those in Daxia who wish to embark on the path of cultivation must pass through this gate."
Zhong Ling explained: "Everyone who passes through it will have a restriction branded on their soul essence."
"This restriction is connected to the fate of Daxia and the will of millions of people. Normally, it won't have any effect. But once someone harbors evil thoughts of harming the country and oppressing the good, and intends to put them into action..."
She paused and looked at everyone.
"The restriction will be activated instantly. At the very least, your cultivation will be completely destroyed and you will be reduced to your original form. At the worst, your soul will be completely destroyed and you will never be able to reincarnate."
Everyone in the office was shocked by Zhong Ling's words.
All cultivation wasted...
The soul is completely destroyed...
This restraint was so overbearing that it completely resolved their concerns.
They had originally envisioned many options: establishing a special department, formulating a law on supernatural beings, developing targeted weapons...
But none of these are as thorough as Zhong Ling's "Gate of Heavenly Law".
Remove the firewood from under the cauldron and eliminate the hidden dangers at the root.
Zhou Zhenguo sighed in his heart. He was extremely glad that Zhong Ling was a friend of Da Xia, not an enemy.
"With this door, all practitioners will naturally become protectors of Daxia rather than destroyers from the moment they begin their cultivation.
The stronger their power, the closer their connection with Daxia will be, and the more they will spontaneously protect this land."
She added, "Of course, you still need to formulate the specific screening criteria and the scope of popularization of the cultivation methods. I am only responsible for providing tools and methods."
Li Zhenhua walked up to Zhong Ling, straightened his clothes, bowed deeply, and then said:
"Comrade Zhong Ling, thank you. Technology and cultivation, these two wings, we Daxia will definitely win!"
"However, Comrade Zhong Ling, how should we implement this? What kind of people should we select? And where should we establish the foundation?"
Professional matters should be asked to professionals. Now that he has made the decision, Li Zhenhua must clarify the doubts in his mind. After all, the development of science and technology can still be traced, but cultivating immortals is a completely unfamiliar field for Blue Star, and every step must be taken with extreme caution.
"The location needs to be secluded, away from the hustle and bustle. A place with beautiful mountains and clear water is best, so that I can set up the spirit gathering formation."
"As for the candidates, in the early stages, you don't need to have a large number, but rather a good selection. You can select from the army those with strong wills, top physical qualities, clean family backgrounds, and absolute loyalty to Daxia. Such people have pure hearts and minds, and the chances of them giving birth to spiritual roots will be slightly higher."
She paused and added, "Spiritual roots are determined by fate and cannot be forced. You choose the location and the people first, and I will come when the time comes."
"I understand!" Li Zhenhua replied, already having a plan in mind.
Daxia's ability to act was amazing. Just one week later, Qiao Jianmin contacted Zhong Ling.
He told Zhong Ling that the place for cultivation was a semi-abandoned military base in the south of Daxia. The place was surrounded by mountains on three sides and by water on one side. The terrain was secluded and the scenery was beautiful. It was named "Kunlun Taoist Temple".
The candidates are the elite among 3,000 elites secretly selected from major war zones of the entire army, and each of them has made outstanding military achievements.
