Chapter 52 Address
A land that endures forever!?
"You mean..."

"It's just what you think."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "The fog in these areas will not dissipate over time as it used to, but will persist for a long time."

She explained, "According to the research department, all the alien beasts must be eliminated within a few hours after the fog is formed; otherwise, the fog will continue to linger, and... as time goes on, more and more alien beasts will appear in the fog, and the fog will spread outwards as the alien beasts move."

diffusion!?
"What exactly is the mist?"

Ji Fuyou Road.

Even Pei Zhaoye, who is about to become the president of the Starlight City Association of Mental Abilities, did not provide an answer to this question.

But Fang Qiyun...

"It's an intrusion!"

Fang Qiyun looked at Ji Fuyou and involuntarily lowered her voice: "It seems to be... an invasion of our world from another space, plane, or world!"

"Invasion!"

Ji Fuyou had already considered this possibility when he touched upon the future, but hearing Fang Qiyun confirm it in person still made his pupils shrink in shock.

“The areas of Sky Ridge, Misty Forest, and Azure Lake are not large, but today, due to the interconnection of the world, the space within them has become disordered. The thirty-mile Azure Lake cannot be traversed in three days! Sky Ridge, with a circumference of a hundred miles, has also been measured to be eight hundred miles in circumference!”

Fang Qiyun said with a heavy expression, "To some extent, those places shrouded in mist are no longer just Red Star, but places where two worlds overlap."

How many places like this are there in the world?

Ji Fuyou inquired.

"This is top secret."

Fang Qiyun said directly: "Two years ago, the higher-ups thought that this overlap of the two worlds brought an opportunity and a chance for take-off, and implemented strict confidentiality measures against the fog."

As she spoke, she changed the subject: "But two years ago, when the water beasts in Black Dragon Pool followed the Flowing Sand River and eroded the surrounding cities, causing significant damage, the higher-ups realized the seriousness of the problem... This was a war! Only then did the higher-ups decide to gradually open up the fog and allow the concepts of martial artists and spiritual beings to enter the lives of ordinary people."

"Liusha River..."

Ji Fuyou quickly formed an impression in his mind.

Two years ago, news reports did indeed indicate a large-scale pollution leak in the Liusha River, which at one point blocked the entire river, affecting three cities and twelve counties!

Hundreds of citizens have died from water poisoning.

Afterwards, the government even ordered the Liusha River to be cut off from its flow for cleanup and pollution control!

Now it seems……

It was all because of a strange aquatic beast!?
"If our relatively democratic nation treated the Mistlands this way in its early days, what about some autocratic countries? They would never be willing to hand over the Source Crystals produced in the Mist! The only certainty is that there are many such places!"

Fang Qiyun said, "There are no fewer than ten such places within our country alone!"

Ji Fuyou had previously found it strange that such a precious resource as Source Crystals would be circulating in the market.

Now it seems……

It's not that the higher-ups don't want to blockade, but that they simply can't.

"In the past two years, there have been a series of major moves in the country. First, the Martial Arts Association was reformed, and then the Association of Mental Ability Users was established as a pilot project in Zhongzhou, giving martial artists and mental ability users a higher status. This was all to guide more people to join this war that is suspected to be an invasion from another world."

Fang Qiyun said, "After all, the appearance of the mist is completely unexpected. From its emergence to its dissipation, it only takes a few hours. If the mist is not destroyed at the beginning of its appearance, it will become constant and solidified."

She used an analogy: "It's like attacking a city. If you can't kill the soldiers who are climbing the wall as soon as possible, it's only a matter of time before that section of the wall falls, or even the city is breached."

Ji Fuyou thought of the hunter squad, a privileged organization that didn't fit into this era...

"Every city has a hunting squad stationed there? They're like rapid reaction forces?"

"Correct."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "The renowned hunter teams all have their own information channels and informants. As soon as they learn that the fog has appeared, they will take a helicopter to the scene immediately."

Helicopter?
Ji Fuyou immediately recalled the scene he had seen when he was in the mist of Fulong Mountain, where more than a dozen helicopters flew towards Fulong Mountain.

The fog had already begun by then.

Later he entered the fog...

It's already coming to an end.

No wonder the mist dissipated shortly after he killed the leopard-man. "It is foreseeable that a large number of spiritual beings and martial artists will gather at Huanglong Cave, and even military and government officials will step in to try to kill all the strange beasts in the mist as quickly as possible to prevent the mist from spreading. Similarly, the Hunter's Website will also issue various high-priced mission bounties."

Fang Qiyun said in a tactful tone, "One more person means one more source of strength."

Ji Fuyou understood.

cannon fodder.

They risk their lives for money.

"The military and government still have a lot of good stuff in their hands."

Fang Qiyun said, "Besides the Source Crystal, there are also Divine Weapons and Demonic Blades, and Inheritance Crystals!"

"Divine weapons and demonic blades? Inheritance crystals?"

"I don't know much about divine weapons and demonic blades, but I do know about inheritance crystals..."

Fang Qiyun organized his thoughts: "In today's world, many visualization techniques and secret arts, including those sword intents, are comprehended from these inheritance crystals and then written down. The inheritance in these crystals can be directly mastered through initiation, and one can become proficient with a little practice."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Otherwise, how do you think those advanced cultivators could complete the cultivation of Dan Jin and Gang Jin in just a few years, and even achieve the liquefaction and crystallization of spiritual energy?"

"Isn't it because the numerical values have increased, thus compressing the time required to master a realm?"

"of course not."

Fang Qiyun said, "This involves the invasion of the mist, which is a very serious matter. Moreover, the power above alone cannot stop the increase and spread of the mist in the long-standing areas. It is estimated that we will be able to obtain these treasures on our own in another year or two."

"One or two years..."

"It might even speed up, after all, the attitude from above has changed."

Fang Qiyun said, "The gradual relaxation of information control and the frequent appearances of mental energy users and martial artists in front of the public are all warming up for the moment when the truth is revealed. If nothing unexpected happens, the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament will be the beginning of officially announcing the extraordinary professions of martial artists and mental energy users to the world!"

The news has been released.

With more people choosing to become spiritual beings or martial artists, the conditions naturally arise for them to overcome the fog, delve into the fog, and bring out many wondrous items from within.

"To maintain our advantage, we must be ahead in every step."

Fang Qiyun looked at Ji Fuyou: "So, do you want to go to Huanglong Cave?"

"Jingle Bell!"

Just then, Ji Fuyou's phone rang.

He glanced at it and saw that it was Zhang Heng, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets, calling.

And before the call came in, he seemed to...

An address has been sent!?
Considering that Fang Qiyun was nearby, he hung up the phone.

He replied to her invitation with, "I'll think about it."

"Alright, I'll rest here for two days and then go to Blue Moon City once my people have all arrived. Contact me when you've made up your mind."

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

"Where to? Flash or home?"
