Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 849 - 849 66 Dual Cultivation List

Chapter 849: Chapter 66 Dual Cultivation List Chapter 849: Chapter 66 Dual Cultivation List In mid-October, the Privy Council finally issued formal orders for the first batch of Lu Country’s Cultivators to begin the Foundation Establishment Realm Perfection.

The location was set in the Mysterious Realm of Wudang Mountain. This high-level Mysterious Realm had not officially opened to the public. It was a special channel forcibly opened by the Privy Council’s research team from the outside world, and hence the Spiritual Energy Concentration inside far exceeded the average level of the outside world.

Of course, the corresponding risks were equally high.

“So why must we go to this unopened Mysterious Realm?” Lin Ning complained, “We haven’t even secured the Nerve Center. If we encounter any dangers inside, wouldn’t it actually hinder and delay our cultivation?”

“Because it is said that other countries are adopting extreme leveling methods,” Ye Jun sighed. “It’s an arms race, using every means necessary. The swift become the hunters, and the slow only become the prey.”

The appearance of Lu Country’s Sword Bearer shocked and terrified nations worldwide, with almost every power sparing no expense in seeking methods to contain the Sword Bearer. Apart from cost-intensive and long-development-cycle Spiritual Energy projects, there was an easier and more direct plan: let the country’s top Transcendents level up before Lu Country’s Sword Bearer.

The first Earth King Tournament officially opened!

Being the top student from the Monster Room of East Asia, Lu Country naturally couldn’t avoid clichés. Zhenghai, Dragon Cavalry, Huofeng, Qing An – the four great battle teams totaling 24 people, along with Lady Anna, the Chief Witch from Amur, were appointed as the initial pioneers for the Wudang Mountain Mysterious Realm… Just like in previous lives, the international arms race intensified the Matthew Effect, focusing cultivation resources towards top Transcendents.

During the exploration of the Mysterious Realm, there were no distinctions between teams; the pioneers were led by Captain Yan Yu, with Vice-Captain Liu Longtao assisting. After passing through the spatial rift, it was crucial to quickly establish a temporary camp and set up a defensive line on the spot.

Regarding the standard tactics like eliminating the Goalkeeper and seizing the Nerve Center, there was no need to think about it. The Mysterious Realm of Wudang Mountain with its current Spiritual Energy Concentration environment hadn’t reached the point where it could be activated, so the Privy Council only required them to establish a foothold.

The four teams were all old acquaintances who had fought and cooperated more than once, so there was no need for adjustments.

Everyone attended the motivational meeting in the Pingjing Great Hall, where Yan Yu personally recited the oath on stage. Watching him show off above, for some reason, people below seemed to find it somewhat funny, but due to the serious occasion, they could only keep a straight face.

After the meeting, people chatted casually outside.

Li Zhaojiang circled around Li Minghu, repeatedly asking if Yan Yu “did something to him”, which annoyed Li Minghu so much that he finally complied after giving him a couple of hefty slaps.

Zhou Hongyu was speaking to the crowd, implying, “Don’t see me as the captain for the following period, go to Yan Yu and Liu Longtao for anything and everything,” frequently glancing in Yan Yu’s direction.

Tang Xiaolian paced the spot, wanting to join Yan Yu to talk, but feeling that going over rashly would be too abrupt. Therefore, she could only hold back and wait for Zhou Hongyu to finish his speech.

Ye Jun was conversing with Liu Longtao while secretly transmitting a message to Yan Yu:

“Why has the Chief Witch also come along?”

She was referring to Anna. It was strange; levels like Wudang Mountain Mysterious Realm shouldn’t technically allow foreign Transcendents to enter.

But since the Privy Council had given special approval, Yan Yu couldn’t be bothered asking upper authorities why, and replied to Ye Jun:

“She was a guest at my place before. I guess after she learned about this, she made a deal with the higher-ups to help without taking any payment.”

“Oh,” Ye Jun thought it even stranger then, someone coming all the way to do charity for you, Lu Country? This logically doesn’t make sense, unless she is here to benefit from the Spiritual Energy of Wudang Mountain Mysterious Realm?

Of course, having one more person cultivating in the Mysterious Realm wouldn’t thin the Spiritual Energy by any measure. If Anna is indeed trustworthy, then the Privy Council’s special approval makes sense. The only question is why she has gained such trust from the authorities. Asking Yan Yu would be meaningless as he always stays out of upper management affairs; it’s better to inquire Lord Master.

Yan Yu scanned the crowd, silently strategizing.

Levelling up to the Perfect Stage of Hua Mansion, which is the Perfection of Foundation Establishment Realm, posed an imminent question:

Whom should he choose for Dual Cultivation?

With Yin and Yang complementing each other, he could only assist female Cultivators. Considering the precious improvement in Golden Core Rank, and from the perspective of maximizing benefits, excluding Anna due to her different system, it would be best if he could help each of the nine female cultivators, allowing them to save Cultivation resources for their male teammates and ultimately achieving collective progression to the Core Formation Stage, which would be most beneficial for Lu Country.

But the issue was, Cultivators are not mere soldiers from Military Manor. They have their own independent wills and wouldn’t comply simply because “it’s for their own good.”

What if someone refuses to undergo Dual Cultivation with him? He certainly couldn’t force her, in which case, he would have to drop the matter. But if the other party refuses cooperation, how to ensure she wouldn’t leak the secret?

Dual Cultivation for Core Formation originates from the String-Pulling Technique, a secret technique that bypasses cultivation talent. If its existence were revealed, it wouldn’t be a scenario where everyone becomes a dragon, but rather privileged offspring transforming first… Even if Yan Yu one day decides to publicize the String-Pulling Technique, it would only be after he is capable of promoting it at a national level for everyone. Otherwise, those who cross the river first might break the bridge after crossing, potentially botching the entire plan.
