Chapter 116

But they were still puzzled by the intermittent arrivals of these people.

How many were there in their sect? Were they all going to come across? Or was the world on the other side collapsing with the two worlds merging?

That hit the nail on the head.

Shen Feixian fell silent for a moment before replying, "Actually, we're not sure either."

"But I can confirm that at the current rate people are coming across, no more than five thousand will have come across in the next ten years!"

Shen Feixian came up with this number based on the Divine Cauldron's explosion speed and the sect's population distribution.

As a major sect, Qingyun Sect had quite a large mountain range with considerable distances between the peaks.

To bring the entire sect across would take an extremely long time.

"What about in fifty years?" the leading man probed.

How many could come across in fifty years?

The National Security Bureau now knew their identity and that they were from another world.

The current situation was that cooperation was possible, but it didn't mean they could accept a total takeover of their homeland by people from another world, especially a group of outsiders with abilities and lifespans far beyond ordinary people. Such people posed an enormous threat to social stability.

At the mention of this issue, Shen Feixian's lips curved into a smile, and his expression became more affable.

"You can rest assured about this! Perhaps we won't even need fifty years before we all leave!"

"There are many talented people in my hometown. Someone will surely fix that black hole, and then we'll all go back and won't stay here!"

"You won't need to worry about anything else either. Even if more than five thousand come across in fifty years, they'll stay in this area and won't affect the normal running of your country. My junior martial sister can guarantee this!"

"If it really comes down to it, I can have my junior sister swear an oath..." Shen Feixian spoke jokingly.

None of them could use spiritual energy now. Even if an ancestral patriarch from the Great Vehicle stage came over, they might not necessarily be a match for his junior sister. Song Jixing: ......

When Shen Feixian finished speaking, many of the people facing the computer had stern expressions.

From what they knew so far, cultivation was an extremely difficult thing.

Although Shen Feixian and the others looked young, they were actually a few hundred years old and had maintained Golden Core or higher cultivation levels.

The current situation was that the new generation of children with spiritual roots were still hidden among the masses and had not been found yet, while plants and animals were propagating rapidly and already had their own cultivation levels.

Compared to the unknown threat of the newcomers, the crisis posed by native plants and animals was even more severe.

In fifty years, the new generation of cultivators would not yet have grown up, but the plants and animals would have reached frightening levels!

If these people all returned, what would the future hold?

"We will pay close attention to and push for solutions to these issues you have raised. There will surely be many areas where we'll need to trouble you in the future!"

Shen Feixian smiled. "No trouble at all. Only through cooperation can we achieve mutual benefit!"

"Let's end today's meeting here! Special personnel will follow up with you on subsequent matters. We'll meet again at our next meeting!" said the man sitting at the front.

With that, everyone stood up together and bowed.

Seeing this, Shen Feixian and the others also got up and returned the bow.

The video call cut off after two beeps.

Shen Feixian and the others broke up the meeting and rested, but the meeting continued on the other end.

The giant screen that had previously shown the several people sitting around the table divided into multiple sections, one for each person. Now there was only one screen section enlarged.

It showed the video feed of Song Jixing.

In Shen Feixian's words, the others had crossed over with their physical bodies, while Song Jixing had crossed over in spirit and grown up here, so she had a certain sense of belonging to this society.

When Shen Feixian and the others returned, would Song Jixing go back too?

Everyone gazed up at the screen showing the young and beautiful girl, feeling especially heavy-hearted.

At that moment, Song Jixing was being invited by her senior martial brother to go online and read some posts together.

The content was about yesterday's beach wave incident. Although the various events relating to the spiritual energy resurgence were still classified, because so many people had been involved yesterday, even if they had all been told to keep it confidential, some were bound to let things slip.

Plus, the country was about to publicly announce it to the citizens soon, so they were currently turning a blind eye - as long as there was no deliberate stirring up of panic, posts would not be deleted.

A blogger named Tuantuan who wanted to earn money diligently shared her strange experience at Y City's beach yesterday.

First there were huge waves reaching for the sky, then all the water in the sky froze in midair in some kind of water curtain. You could even see fish in the water, making it feel like being inside an aquarium!

The blogger expressed her terror during the escape, and raised some questions for the Y City government and relevant personnel.

What exactly happened last night? Why did Y City issue an extreme weather warning ahead of time?

Why were they called in for talks?

And why were they told to keep yesterday's beach incident a secret and not disclose anything to outsiders?

If these were supernatural phenomena, what did the authorities plan to do?

Because this blogger's description was so vivid, it attracted a lot of attention from netizens. Combined with the reposts from some other eyewitnesses, the incident quickly spread within a small circle and even made it to the hot search topics.

There were always all kinds of weird things in the hot search topics, so netizens felt they had seen everything already.

This year they had even seen slapping radishes and night dragons!

But one thing netizens were certain of was that this post had not been deleted or censored yet, which meant its authenticity was doubtful.

[Brand New Year: Writing a novel? The description is quite vivid, just the sponsored hot search topic is weird.]

[Deep Sea Pineapple: Any photos? I also want to see what this water curtain in the sky is.]

[alialon: I can vouch for the blogger! I was there yesterday too, it really was terrifying! I thought I was going to die there!]

The replies under this comment were all hahahahaha, and stuff like bro, you forgot the dog filter.

Of course, Shen Feixian didn't simply have Song Jixing read the online posts for entertainment.

He went on to pull up some information related to this Tuantuan blogger.

"According to online descriptions, this person seems to be a walking 500,000 yuan. She previously studied abroad and seems to have signed some agreements with people from other countries during her studies overseas. Their recent plan is to create contradictions and conflicts online to undermine public trust in society..."

As he spoke, Shen Feixian displayed the blogger's real information.

The blogger's homepage looked like an everyday girl sharing food and scenery and living a refined life. But in reality, he was a bald man in his thirties.

Shen Feixian turned to look at Song Jixing with a serious expression. "Junior sister, this man disguised himself as a woman quite successfully. You should consider establishing an persona early too to increase public acceptance. I've read their plans. They seem to want to reveal cultivators to the public..."
