Chapter 695: Chapter 12 Hidden Dragon Society and Opening of the Secret Realm (10,000+)_4

The immense foundation of the Winged People Empire made the upper echelons of Datong aware.

You don’t have to develop it immediately, but you can’t ignore it, you must be prepared.

Because of the stable environment of Datong, the number of living beings has increased sharply.

The consumption of various resources has become increasingly terrifying.

Although there are still no supply issues now, they will inevitably face them sooner or later.

The development of the surrounding planets of Zhou can be prepared now.

And Li Xueqian, who had this idea long ago, naturally received a lot of support.

He took the technology obtained from the Winged People Empire and brought it all back for research.

“These technologies are very good, they are basically ahead of us, but we don’t need to be overly concerned, our development direction is different.”

Source Star, because of the existence of the Virtual World, often experiences cross-border events.

Thus, most of the energy technology is oriented towards interstellar.

A typical example is the Cross-border Ship.

Its maximum speed is comparable to the Seventh Realm, something the Winged People Empire doesn’t have.

And they don’t have anything like the Wanxiang Instrument either!

Of course, this does not mean that the technology of the Winged People Planet is not worth researching.

In fact, Li Xueqian valued it very highly and personally led the team to analyze it.

“We must thoroughly understand these technologies and then combine them with our own. This will be key to our venture into the stars.”

Ultimately, after a year of development.

In the year 88 of the new calendar, the Datong Space Bureau was established, specifically responsible for the development of the resources of the planets surrounding the four worlds.

Temporarily, Li Xueqian would serve as the director until a more suitable person emerged.

Huangtian strongly supported this.

“The development of resources on the planets surrounding our world should be done sooner rather than later. If we face another invasion from the Chaotic Realm, and the resources are left behind, they will benefit others. We need to use these resources to improve ourselves.”

The invasion from the Chaotic Realm, although eventually repelled by Wang Sheng at a great cost.

But the resources lost during those ten years were countless.

A massive amount of resources had been mined and taken away by the Chaotic Realm.

Huangtian did not want this to happen again.

With the establishment of the Space Bureau, Datong formally began its horizontal expansion. Once the layout was complete, the foundation of Datong would grow exponentially.

In addition to the Space Bureau, various policies suitable for the era also emerged.

Datong was flourishing.

The most direct manifestation was the nearly thirty percent overall increase in the dispersed spiritual power and Life Essence Qi, which was already substantial.

This was an enormous number.

The better Datong developed, the more dispersed spiritual power it would contribute.

Soon, the time arrived in the new calendar year 90.

Datong was celebrating its ninetieth anniversary.

There was another grand celebration.

Apart from the regular anniversary celebration, the most attention this time was the “Hidden Dragon Society” proposed by the Datong education department.

The Hidden Dragon Society, a festival specifically for young powerhouses.

All cultivators under thirty years of Source Star age, whether from Source Star, the World of Ten Thousand Clans, Heavenly Saint Star, or the recently joined Winged People Planet, could participate.

Young cultivators would compete in the Virtual World for rankings.

This ranking would not only bring fame throughout Datong, but the official Datong had also allocated a huge amount of resources and treasures as rewards based on the rankings.

Not just the young powerhouses, even cultivators of the Seventh Realm were envious of those rewards.

Moreover, the families or powers behind the young powerhouses would receive support from the Datong officials.

Any type of reward was sufficient to drive all powers insane.

Before the anniversary celebrations, each planet or world had already started selection processes, a hundred people from each planet or world, of course, Source Star being the Main Star would have a bit more.

“We must seize this opportunity; if successful, our family will surely take a step further.”

“This is my chance; Datong will send officials to oversee it, and as long as you become a contestant, all problems will be solved.”

“I will lead the storm and become the strongest amongst the young generation!”

The entire Datong was mobilized.

Even Wang Sheng was paying attention.

Of course, he wasn’t interested in the rewards.

“It would be a good opportunity to let Qing Feng and Mingyue try it out and promote the path of Inner Core Skill.”

Although just by speaking up, those cultivating the Inner Core Skill would surpass all other paths in a short time.

But he still wanted to see real results.

This was a good opportunity.

“Qing Feng, Mingyue!”

He called out, and Qing Feng and Mingyue, who were cultivating, instantly appeared before him.

“Master!”

“You must know about the Hidden Dragon Society, right?”

He didn’t restrict their entertainment normally.

Two young people in their twenties naturally knew about the popular Hidden Dragon Society.

“Yes, Master. Do you want the two of us to participate?” asked the lively Mingyue straightforwardly.

“Of course, you’ve been cultivating for quite some time; after more than a decade, it’s time to come out.”

Both were twenty-six or twenty-seven, just the right age for this event.

“Yes, Master!” Both were excited, obviously having longed to join this grand affair.

“Master, I will definitely win first place,” said Qing Feng confidently; he had taken significant strides in the Fourth Realm and his strength was formidable.

Wang Sheng laughed and shook his head, “I would be very satisfied if you made it to the top five!”

Qing Feng and Mingyue naturally had great innate talent and with his instruction, they were indeed powerful.

But for prodigies of their age, every year was precious. Many cultivators participating in the Hidden Dragon Society were just within the age limit, already having an advantage.

What’s more, there were geniuses in the outside world.
