Chapter 196: The Meeting
The events that occurred in the Wuling Mountain area in the western part of Hunan Province quickly gained attention online, but soon, the power of the state suppressed the news.
On the other side, after leaving the formation, Ye Zhenhua took a flying device to the capital city immediately.
At that time, many people in the capital were already waiting for him to report on the situation.
Given the major incident in Hunan Province, the upper echelons of the country could not be unaware.
Ye Zhenhua was sent to investigate, so they naturally wanted to hear from him about that Cultivator’s situation.
For ordinary people, Cultivators might be a secret, but many in the upper echelons already knew about them.
More than twenty years ago, Ye Zhenhua and a few others caught the attention of the upper echelons, and they had discovered that Ye Zhenhua was a Cultivator.
Moreover, a big shot even married his granddaughter to Ye Zhenhua.
Otherwise, how could someone from such humble beginnings become one of the military’s top figures in just over twenty years?
“Zhenhua, what is the situation?”
In the meeting room, an elder eagerly asked the returning Ye Zhenhua.
“Elder He, the situation is like this…”
Ye Zhenhua then shared everything he had seen and heard from Li Xiaojun, as well as the information he had gathered.
“A person from over a thousand years ago? Named Li Xiaojun? Originally from Shangchen Village in Western Hunan?”
“Xiao Liu, go check if there was such a person more than a thousand years ago,” an elder instructed a young man.
“Okay.”
The young man named Xiao Liu left.
In the meeting room, Ye Zhenhua continued to explain the situation.
After about half an hour, the excited Xiao Liu returned.
“Elder He, I found something,” Xiao Liu said, handing a display to Elder He.
“Project it,” Elder He instructed Xiao Liu.
“Alright.”
Soon, a person’s information appeared on the screen in the meeting room.
The projection showed Li Xiaojun’s details.
At the front was a copy of his identification card, displaying Li Xiaojun’s name, ethnicity, date of birth, and ID number.
“Zhenhua, does this look like him?” Elder He asked Ye Zhenhua.
“Yes, Elder He, it is him. He looks much more handsome now than in this photo, but the face shape is the same,” Ye Zhenhua recognized him at a glance after seeing the ID photo.
“Moreover, the address matches; this Li Xiaojun is indeed from Shangchen Village. After returning, that senior Li Xiaojun also went back to Shangchen Village.”
“He was really born in 1991?”
Upon seeing Li Xiaojun’s identity information, many were astonished.
“Li Xiaojun, born in ’91, graduated from Hunan University in ’13, missing at 31, and his parents reported him missing many times without success…”
“Zhenhua, are you sure that person is this Li Xiaojun?”
Someone still asked Ye Zhenhua with some disbelief.
“Elder Chen, I am sure that person is Li Xiaojun,” Ye Zhenhua quickly replied.
Ye Zhenhua had personally felt Li Xiaojun’s immense power, and since Li Xiaojun knew his teacher, Ye Qinxian, he had no doubt about Li Xiaojun’s identity.
“Pull up the family relationships of this Li Xiaojun to take a look,” Elder He instructed a young man nearby.
“Okay.”
Soon, Li Xiaojun’s relatives were displayed.
“Li Xiaojun, father Li Dakai, mother Chen Xiulian, and a brother Li Xiaotian…”
“Li Xiaojun’s father died in 2046, mother died in 2049, brother died in 2078…”
“Brother Li Xiaotian had three daughters throughout his life, who married…”
Quickly, everyone clearly understood the entire network of Li Xiaojun’s relationships.
“Zhenhua, are you sure this Li Xiaojun possesses immense power?” an elder asked Ye Zhenhua.
Hearing this, Ye Zhenhua quickly replied, “Elder Liu, you saw the satellite footage already; Shangchen Village changed from a primitive forest to what it is now in a short time. This is not something an ordinary person can achieve.”
“Moreover, he knows my teacher. You all know she is a Great Ascension stage saint; when I was young, she even took us to play in outer space.”
After a pause, Ye Zhenhua continued, “The fact that Elder Li knows my teacher indicates that his cultivation level must be extraordinary. According to my teacher, if one year on Earth equals a hundred years outside, Elder Li would have lived for a hundred thousand years. Only a Tribulation stage great emperor can have such a lifespan.”
“My teacher once said that a Tribulation stage great emperor can Move Mountains and Fill Seas, easily destroying a civilization with just one hand…”
Everyone present fell silent upon hearing Ye Zhenhua’s words, and the room became quiet.
After a moment, Elder He spoke up, “Everyone, how do you think we should treat Mr. Li moving forward?”
“Elder He, I think we can observe the situation for now. As long as what Mr. Li does benefits us, we shouldn’t worry too much,” an elder suggested.
“Elder He, I think if what Comrade Zhenhua says is true, we should control the cultivators under the state. We cannot let just anyone cultivate because that would lead to chaos in the world.”
“Imagine, if we do nothing, powerful cultivators could run amok, committing violent acts with no repercussions. Thus, we must keep all cultivators under the control of the state.”
Hearing this, Ye Zhenhua quickly said, “Would that upset that elder?”
“Comrade Zhenhua, as you said, that gentleman is also one of our Huaxia children. He surely wouldn’t want to see chaos in the country.”
“We are just organizing the cultivators and keeping them under state control. This way, we not only maintain national stability, but we can also give them state positions. After many years, they will become the ones in charge; I believe in this situation, that elder will not bear a grudge.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenhua stopped speaking.
He also felt that this approach was correct.
Cultivators are incredibly powerful; without control, they could likely break laws and act recklessly.
By giving them state positions, we can both control them and allow them to contribute to the nation. Why not?
“Everyone, that elder’s intention is to have all our Huaxia children go to his side to test their spirit roots and let everyone with spirit roots cultivate to prepare for future invasions by other extraterrestrial civilizations. What do you all think about this?”
Elder He looked at everyone and asked again.
