Chapter 235 Earth Time ~ "Finally back!"...
"Finally back!" Sang Zhitao stood on her bed and couldn't help but do a set of military boxing.
"You've grown quite fast!" Sang Lezhi was still on vacation, but Zhang Suxian had returned to work first. She looked at Sang Zhitao and saw that she was now the size of a four or five-year-old child, and couldn't help but tease her.
"It's alright. If I can fully integrate all the absorbed energy, I estimate I can regain my human form." Sang Zhitao waved her hand dismissively.
"So, now that this world is over, when will you travel to the next world?" Zhang Su asked curiously. "Didn't you say before that you could vaguely sense it? Now, is the feeling more accurate?"
Sang Zhitao nodded: "At least three months of rest are possible."
"That's great! Why don't you go out and have some fun? You've worked so hard these past few years." Zhang Su smiled and patted her head.
"We've moved many of our secret bases to the moon, so we can take you there for a visit."
"Great! I can go to the moon!" Sang Zhitao exclaimed with delight, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.
Zhang Su nodded her head: "Do you have any ideas about moving the door now? Maybe you can live on the moon like Chang'e in the future."
Sang Zhitao nodded: "Yes, I have a clue. Don't worry, give me a few days to integrate the energy I've absorbed into my body, and then it will be fine."
Hearing her say that, Zhang Su felt relieved.
“Speaking of which, we’ve all landed on the moon, what about my brother?” Sang Zhitao couldn’t help but frown.
My sister-in-law and brother haven't been married for very long. Originally, one of them was at a base and the other was traveling all over the country. Now it's even better, one of them is on Earth and the other is on the Moon.
“It’s alright, we can meet in the Second World,” Zhang Su replied with a smile.
"Wow, the Second World is already complete?" Sang Zhitao looked at her in disbelief, after all, it hadn't been long since the country announced the creation of the Second World.
Such large-scale scientific and technological research and development usually takes several years, but this time it was done in less than two years.
"It's not that fast," Zhang Su said with a smile. "Thanks to Ruoyin's help, we were able to speed up the research and development by utilizing the formations of the cultivation world."
"Amazing!" Sang Zhitao couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Shall we go to the moon now?" She could no longer contain her excitement.
Zhang Su smiled and nodded in agreement.
After submitting a report and rearranging security measures, the group embarked on their journey to the moon...
Elsewhere in the East, however, a heated discussion was taking place over a different matter.
"Hello everyone, could you please take a look at this book?" A seemingly ordinary note on the Little Red Book website suddenly attracted nearly 10,000 replies overnight.
"This name... Sister, are you sure you're not joking?" — It's like asking me to eat durian.
"The Fun Handbook for Body Refinement and Foundation Building (Children's Edition)?" — Desperate Remnants.
"Really?" — The air was slightly cool at the end of summer.
"It's true! I'm in S province, and my son, who's in first grade, also received it. They're asking him to take a test next month." — Give me some bean curd.
"Look for details!" — The reflection in the sky.
Apple Candy, the owner of Little Red Book Notes, posted more detailed information about the book the following day.
This is a thin book, about twenty pages long, but the paper used is very thick, so it looks like a very thick book.
Not many apple candies were sent out; only the first and last few pages were sent.
The first few pages use fun comics to teach readers how to perceive the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and systematically explain how to use this primordial energy to circulate the Great Circulation, even explaining that different ages require different methods of circulation.
The following pages are filled with various precautions.
"Huh? Cultivate...cultivate immortality? Am I still asleep?" — Xue Liqing.
"What on earth is my mom doing? I feel like I've suddenly stepped from a technological world into a fantasy world?" — An abruptly posted account.
"No, why should elementary school students get this? Aren't we high school students babies?" — Love my mommy.
"Even though I'm a 336-month-old baby, don't I deserve it?" — Oji, who wants to wear a bikini.
"You're all adults! How can you not involve middle schoolers in this kind of thing?!" — I am Zhang Fei's Beard.
"Third grade in elementary school, I want to!" — I want to be the king.
"Quick, go read the news!!!!! The era of cultivation has arrived!!!!" — Nanako.
"According to the latest report from our reporter, the first cultivation academy in the Eastern Kingdom officially opened today. According to the first principal, Ruoyin, the first cultivator in the Eastern Kingdom, the academy will begin enrolling students on August 1st..."
"Mom! I want to cultivate immortality!!!" Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys are at the age when they love to dream the most. Watching the news, they excitedly hugged their mother and spun her around.
Her mother, a pretty woman in her forties, was also watching the news on TV with a blank expression.
Her husband, sitting next to her, unconsciously swallowed, ignoring the excited voices as she ran off to call her friend. He looked at his wife and couldn't help but say, "What do you think... should we give it a try?"
"Us?" The wife paused, looking hesitantly at her hands, then touching the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. "At our age..."
"This enrollment will be conducted through community-based selection. The first batch of students will be streamed for education based on age and aptitude... There is no age limit for enrollment; only citizens of Dongguo are eligible. Foreign nationals who have acquired Dongguo citizenship can apply in the second batch..."
“There’s no age limit, let’s give it a try?” The husband carefully took her hand in his.
The wife looked at the apron her husband was wearing, then at the television, and nodded emphatically: "Okay!"
Seeing this, the husband couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he found that even laughing couldn't suppress his emotions, so he hugged his wife tightly and kissed her forehead.
Such things happen in almost every corner of the Eastern Kingdom.
Cultivating immortality and flying on a sword are things that almost every person in the Eastern Kingdom yearns for. In the ever-evolving world of the internet, where themes are constantly being updated and replaced, this type of novel remains popular.
Therefore, when cultivating immortality truly became a reality, no one was willing to give up trying.
Give it a try, it doesn't matter if you fail anyway.
This is a thought in almost everyone's mind.
Therefore, even though this was a month-long testing period, and even though the initial testing was led by villages and communities, it still captivated everyone's attention.
So during that period, all the online topics were about the test; some were happy, some were sad, some passed, and some failed.
"It failed... I couldn't even get out of the village. People said I have no talent at all..." — Mom, I want to cultivate immortality.
"I've made it out at the community level, but I'm stuck at the district level. People say it can only improve my sub-health issues at most, but in today's society, who has sub-health anymore?!" — Breaking the big defense.
"Ahhh, congratulations! I passed the city level!! Looking forward to the provincial level! The referee said I'll have no problem passing the provincial level!!!" — A future cultivation prodigy.
"I'm so envious and jealous of the person upstairs!!!" — I'm about to fall into the dark side.
"You didn't mention cultivating immortality, so what about cultivating demonic arts? Body refinement? Medicine cultivation? Buddhist cultivation? Music cultivation? I study musical instruments, I can try music cultivation!" — A girl learning the guqin.
"Passed the provincial level, report on August 1st. Asked the pre-training teacher, who said there's only one path to cultivation now: rely on talent, don't believe in anything else." — Passed the provincial level.
"Passed through the provincial level, report due on August 1st. I agree with the comment above; the only requirement for cultivating immortality is talent." — Future Immortal Cultivator
"Talent? Isn't this just another game for the rich?" —Old Corpse in the Countryside
"Replying to the person upstairs, it shouldn't be. Judging from the currently released list of those who passed the provincial level, the proportion of wealthy people who passed is rather low." — Secret code.
"Is it resentment towards the rich? Or is it that all rich people are immoral and therefore not worth mentioning?" — Fengfengzi
"I asked the teacher, and he said he didn't know either, but he vaguely guessed that it might be related to character." — Do you believe it or not?
"Does that mean that all the rich people who passed are good people? Wow, can exams be used as a character filter?" — Rabbit Rabbit.
"Looking forward to the release of the full list!" — Xingxingguo
"Why is it okay for you East Asians but not for us foreigners?!" —jasjsa
"Upstairs, just because we're from the East, how about it? Envious, jealous, and hateful, aren't you!" — Rabbit Rabbit.
The comments section, which was initially quite peaceful, was ignited into a war by a comment from a foreigner.
People from the East naturally see this as a benefit for their own people, while foreigners perceive it as racial discrimination.
Especially those foreigners who have already obtained permanent residency permits have been showing off online that they have obtained the most difficult permanent residency permit in the world and that they can enjoy the same benefits as the people of Dongguo. However, the exam of the Immortal Cultivation Academy gave them a slap in the face.
This discussion, sparked by the comments section, quickly swept across the entire online world.
Then, under the manipulation of certain individuals, and through online media, this fire spread from domestic to international, and then onto the political stage.
"Have the intelligence agency keep adding fuel to the fire, forcing Dongguo to hand over part of the list! Then place our people in there." The president of Country A, while excited, did not forget to carefully instruct the intelligence agency on how to fan the flames from behind.
“Since Country A has intervened, let’s make our move too. Just like in the past, we will go east to learn and then surpass and devour them. Back then, we waited for a thousand years and almost succeeded. Now we still have the patience to wait another thousand years!” The Prime Minister of Country X swept his ambitious gaze toward the members of Congress.
"Ask the Eastern Kingdom if they really don't want to give us a batch? Even just a few would be fine," the President of Country E said, looking at his diplomat. "We are friendly and brotherly nations. Go and ask them."
"Elder, look..." The secretary-general of the secretariat handed the latest telegram information to the elder's desk.
The Grand Elder slammed his fist on the table, a cold smile playing on his lips, while the other elders on the large screen opposite him also burst into laughter.
"Looks like he's still up to no good," the Second Elder said with a smile.
"This is a good opportunity to get rid of the remaining insects," the Third Elder added.
"Hmm." The Grand Elder nodded. "It seems that other countries are unwilling to speak out, so let's not wait any longer and just announce it directly."
“Hmm, over in Country E…” The Second Elder frowned and hesitated for a moment.
"The dead SL country is the best, and the crippled E country is also the best brother country," the Grand Elder replied coldly.
This statement laid the foundation for how to treat Country E, and everyone nodded in agreement, ending the brief meeting.
"May I ask, what is your country's plan to respond to the recent issue of foreigners being unable to enter cultivation academies?"
At the press conference, a reporter from Country A suddenly raised his hand and asked a question to the spokesperson.
The spokesperson smiled slightly and looked at him, saying, "Thank you for your question. We will invite the First People's Cultivation Academy Principal, Master Ruoyin, to provide a detailed answer later."
After a brief speech, he walked onto the stage with a faint smile...
