Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2308 Reunion (Guaranteed minimum monthly votes in July)
Does the imperial government not want to know the details of cultivating immortality? Of course they do!
But they understood even more clearly that this could not be done through the government.

This is somewhat related to Xiao Moshan's stubbornness, but the key point is that the empire's high command is very clear about the true logic behind cultivators' seclusion from the world.

Now that it's confirmed that Digital Phantom's ambitions don't lie with the Empire, sending away a Legion-class warship is no big deal.

In fact, the Empire understands one truth: if this team truly wants to interfere in the secular world, whether or not this warship exists is irrelevant.

In any case, we must do our best to win the favor of this team. We have a natural advantage, and we can't afford to lose to those two Guojia teams, can we?

In addition, there are the Digital Phantom team's businesses, which generate huge profits within the empire.

Over the past century, the wealth accumulated by related industries has reached an astronomical figure that is beyond imagination.

Because the team's key members are missing, their corresponding interests cannot be fully guaranteed.

Even if Xiao Moshan remained, and Mu Guang returned after his tribulation, it would still be the same.

Ultimately, the amount of wealth involved was too enormous; the two of them simply couldn't protect it all.

Fortunately, Xiao Moshan later became the chief instructor, trained a large number of disciples, and was awarded the title of marshal.

Mu Guang, who was detached from worldly affairs, was also a figure who could suppress the storms of the empire, which made many people wary of him.

Even so, there are still many people who are leeching off this huge profit, and the two of them simply can't keep up with it.

However, the largest share of the profits was seized by the imperial government, followed by some powerful forces.

At first, they were still wary of Digital Phantom, since the team had only disappeared, not been wiped out.

But as time went on, these people became bolder and bolder.

Fortunately, Marshal Xiao is still alive and well, and some of the assets under Digital Phantom still exist on paper.

Of course, it's also normal for large amounts of wealth to be transferred, industries to become insolvent, go bankrupt, or be sold off in bulk.

The greed of capital needs no further explanation.

However, the reputation of digital phantoms is too great, and few people dare to openly and directly seize them; they usually have to use some financial means.

After the team returned, most of the benefiting groups were filled with anxiety.

They wanted to pay compensation, but they had already taken too much profit and now they couldn't give it back.

Some people are trying to actively compensate, but they can't come up with that many energy blocks in a short time, so they can only ask for an extension.

Some people simply disappeared, and the number of suicides or forced suicides has reached double digits.

Most importantly, the bulk of the profits actually go to the government, which uses them for fiscal purposes.

The war had lasted for over a hundred years. The empire's financial situation was slightly better than the other two countries, but not much better.

It's not unreasonable to consider these assets as subsidies for military spending.

In short, this is a complete mess, so messy that even the Imperial Marshal is at his wit's end.

However, during this period, Xiao Moshan also received some compensation or debt settlements, totaling seven or eight trillion energy blocks.

Leaving aside the empire's "loans," the debt on paper is still nearly fifty trillion... This is the officially recognized debt.

The lost wealth must be over 100 trillion.

Xiao Moshan apologized for this, because he had never been interested in this, and strictly speaking, the team was in debt when they left.

When Qu Jianlei led his team to search for the cultivation world, he took away a massive amount of energy blocks, some of which were borrowed, with a promise to return them using the profits from the industry.

Xiao Moshan only took care of clearing the debts, and then he didn't worry about it much anymore.

Dogan was also speechless at the situation. "Is the account settled now?"

The answer is that some things have been sorted out, but some are simply dead accounts. The forces that embezzled the assets have all vanished. How can we investigate them?
Fortunately, Dorgon was also capable of handling similar problems. After consulting with his boss, he made arrangements.

Her first demand was for confirmation of ownership, specifically regarding the relevant debts and property attribution—this was the most important point.

Then it's just a matter of agreeing on payment terms and other procedures... basically the same old routine.

The debts owed by the Imperial Government can be halved and then extended indefinitely; simply acknowledging the debt is sufficient—consider it the team's support for the military.

After all, the team had just received digital computing units and a large number of warships, including Legion-class ships, and couldn't just take advantage of them for nothing.

In short, the digital phantom is an attitude: I may not care about worldly wealth, but you can't take it!

To deal with bad debts, Dorgon also proposed a solution: giving a six-month period for confession and publicly offering a reward for information related to the debt.

Digital Phantom has officially announced that it will keep the whistleblower's identity confidential.

At the same time, we will never show leniency to any force that infringes on the rights and interests of the team, and we will refuse all attempts to plead for leniency!
Dogan doesn't care how many people he kills, it doesn't matter how many or how few, the key is to show that the phantom of numbers cannot be offended!
In addition, given that Xiao Moshan has been working tirelessly for the team's benefit so far, he was given a Black Steed Tower.

This was Qu Jianlei's idea. Although they had parted ways, he still wanted to look after his old friend.

The team's businesses will need to be managed by Xiao Moshan and his descendants, so they can't just sit idly by.

Finally, there was the sword intent meteorite. Qu Jianlei had considered how to deal with it before returning.

Since Xiao Moshan's lineage is still in the Empire, there's no need to take the meteorite with us; consider it a gift from the team to the Empire.

When Duo Gan suggested going to take a look at the Sword Intent Meteorite, Xiao Moshan remained silent.

He understood; this was the team's final break with the Empire.

The team will continue to fight against the alien races for some time, but his family will be the only remaining contact with the Empire.

The team refused to help him raise his offspring, but the door wasn't completely closed; everything depends on the efforts of his children and grandchildren.

Thinking back on his past, he admitted he was right; the team had no inherent obligation to raise his offspring!

Upon seeing the sword intent meteorite, even Venerable Minning couldn't help but exclaim, "What magnificent sword intent!"

A large crowd gathered around, but in the end, the old-fashioned regimental-class ship bearing the digital phantom icon disappeared into the starry sky.

After leaving the public eye, Qu Jianlei and his two companions regained their ability to physically traverse the void and traveled to the Asura World via the Federation.

Actually, the three of them didn't really want to contact those two great masters, but since they had been separated for so long, they felt they should at least exchange some information.

The method of contact is simple; Venerable Minning can simply raise his hand to calculate the other party's whereabouts.

Two days later, the handsome young man appeared before the three of them. "You've... finished exploring?"

“Only a part has been explored,” Venerable Minning replied casually. Between great venerables, there is little point in lying.

“That world is vast. We just came to see how you two are doing.”

"Looks promising," Jin Ge Zhenxian also spoke up, "Wen Xian didn't come along; is he waiting for an opportunity?"

"He's just a little bored," Han Li Zhenzun said calmly, then asked, "Have you encountered a tricky problem?"

“Opportunities always come with risks,” said Minning Zhenzun nonchalantly. “We’re really just observing.”

"If you two have no further questions, then let's continue our exploration."

That's true. Although the Tree Clan's world is quite dangerous, it's still possible to visit the Girl Starfield.

"This seems interesting," Han Li Zhenzun smiled. "How about we exchange some information?"

"The dangers on the Tree Clan's side exceeded expectations," True Venerable Minning said calmly. "They explored under the pressure of the mid-level dangers."

There's no need to hide it; as long as the other party finds the entrance to the world, they can also calculate a similar result.

"Wow..." Han Li Zhenzun was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up. "Looks like there really is something good?"

“Each has their own destiny,” Minning Zhenzun shook his head. “Since you two are alright, why don’t you each explore for a few more years?”

"Wait a minute," True Venerable Hanli exclaimed, "The opportunity we have here is a product of the rules of the fusion of two worlds!"

So, while they were looking for opportunities, they would occasionally lend a hand, since no one would complain about having too many Asura's lair.

During this process, the two unintentionally learned the location of the merging of the two Asura worlds.

According to the descriptions of the patriarch of the Giant Strength Clan, the two worlds have been merged for four or five thousand years.

However, the integration of the world is an extremely long process, and it has not been completely completed to this day.

Unexpected results may occur during this fusion process, but this is a very random thing.

At the same time, one may gain something simply by observing and experiencing the fusion of the world—this is the way of Heaven!

However, truly gaining some insight from it is extremely difficult.

The True Venerable Wenxian was not fond of moving around, so he stayed there, hoping to gain some insights and also hoping to strike it lucky.

The reason why True Venerable Hanli could speak so frankly at this moment was the same as that of the trio: it was difficult to keep this news from them.

Needless to say, Xiao Qu even encountered the Giant Force here, so how could he not know about the fusion of the world?
These three went to the Tree Clan World. If they had stayed here, they could have found out everything by following this line of investigation.

Moreover, his understanding of the Way of Heaven is an open opportunity, not exclusive, so why should he act like a petty person?

"Good luck!" Venerable Minning nodded. He was able to face this opportunity calmly, without even asking any questions. "I wish you success."

“That’s not very interesting,” the handsome young man frowned. “Isn’t something delivered right to your mouth considered meat?”

Then he spoke seriously, "We are the early explorers, and we must work together."

"It's one thing to miss an opportunity, but to discover one only to have someone else reap the benefits... How can you afford to lose face like that?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Minning replied solemnly, "In the development of the Tree Clan World, my Lingyun Sect will take absolute control."

Since we must talk about it, let's start with the main point. Personal opportunities are important, but they are too elusive.

He and the ancient golden essence are both considered members of the Lingyun Sect. Xiao Qu is from Cangwu, so he also has some connection with the Lingyun Sect.

“Hey,” Han Li Zhenzun’s expression was a little strange, “Have you ever thought about why Xiao Qu doesn’t mind that I know about the Tree Clan world?”

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, True Venerable Minning was first taken aback, then nodded in sudden realization, "He has the support of the human kingdom of Jia!"
