482 Major Event in the Ethereal Dao College (2/2)
As the memories surfaced in his mind, Wang Baole laughed and agreed. He set a time with Senior Sister Lin before being pulled away by the only Primary Rank Two senior brother in the crowd.
That senior brother was Sun Buzheng!
His name was so unique that it immediately left a deep impression on Wang Baole. This senior brother named Buzheng wasn't only the highest-ranking person amongst the disciples of the Ethereal Dao College, but also held a unique position!
He was in charge of the intelligence unit of the Federation. Wang Baole came to know about a unit amongst the other ministries in the Federation, known as the Dark Ministry, only after becoming Secondary Rank Two Noble!
The word 'Dark' was unrelated to the Dark Sect. Instead, the headquarters of this ministry was located on Pluto, and their activities were always hidden from public view, which gave rise to their name.
Sun Buzheng was the Minister of the Dark Ministry, and the amount of resources and power that he held were shockingly great. His cultivation was that of a late-stage Core Formation realm cultivator!
Wang Baole was polite towards this immensely authoritative Sun Buzheng. At the same time, he was extremely curious about his department. Sun Buzheng was also very interested in Wang Baole. After pulling him away, he smiled and spoke.
”Junior Brother Baole, do you want to consider changing your position and come to Pluto? If you agree, you would become the first Deputy Minister of the Dark Ministry, and I would handle all matters of the transfer!
”The welfare in the Dark Ministry is good. Besides, if you come, you'll have access to the intelligence of the entire Federation. At the same time, this department of ours is involved in missions related to connecting with extraterrestrial civilizations… Whatever the case, I guarantee that if you came, you would be able to see the Federation and the Galactic in a new light!”
Despite being interested in the Dark Ministry, Wang Baole had no plans to leave Mars. Of course, if he hadn't gained possession of the Mars Dark Artifact, he would perhaps be tempted. However, right now, he was worried that if he did go and leave the Dark Artifact behind, accidents might happen in the future. Therefore, he could only reject the offer with a smile.
Sun Buzheng wasn't anxious either. He patted Wang Baole's shoulders, telling him that he could contact him anytime if he changed his mind. After that, under the lead of the Ethereal Dao College Sect Lord, everyone began welcoming the three other great Dao Colleges.
The outstanding disciples and the Sect Lords from the three great Dao Colleges were also acquainted with each other. Wang Baole's name was also famous amongst them, and soon, hearty conversations were taking place between the outstanding group of disciples from the four great Dao Colleges.
After almost everyone from the other three great Dao Colleges arrived. Due to the inability to estimate the exact time that Li Xingwen would achieve a breakthrough, the Ethereal Dao College had made arrangements ahead of time to gather all disciples and students to first gather inside Upper Academy Island and meditate cross-legged while waiting in silence. As for the members of the other three Dao Colleges, they were seated outside.
Looking from the sky above, one could see that tens of thousands of people were gathered both inside and outside the Upper Academy Island of the Ethereal Dao College. It was a sight to behold as everyone waited for the moment when Li Xingwen would achieve his breakthrough!
Li Xingwen didn't take long to achieve a breakthrough. In the morning three days later, as the sound of the alarm was heard in all directions and reverberated throughout the Ethereal Dao College, a groundbreaking force was produced from within the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion Mountain on the Upper Academy Island!
As the force was unleashed, a beam of light that seemed to be produced from an accumulation of Spirit Qi instantly shot into the skies from within the mountain. It went straight through the cloud layers, resulting in the production of lightning flashes in the sky. As thunder erupted in waves, the clouds seemed to be ruffled by an invisible hand, spreading in all directions and forming a gigantic spherical Qi wave.
It spread in all directions, harnessing an astonishing force that was growing increasingly louder. It slowly formed a vortex in the clouds which spun rapidly, and a frightening suction force erupted from within, causing all the Spirit Qi on Earth to be drawn towards it!
At the same time, the people in each of the cities on Earth noticed the clouds in the skies moving at high speeds. At the same time, gusts of strong winds were moving along with the clouds, together with the Spirit Qi that they carried!
If a Core Formation realm cultivator were to break through and become a Nascent Soul realm cultivator in an immortal cultivation civilization where Spirit Qi was concentrated and mature, these effects wouldn't be produced. However, on Earth, Spirit Qi was brought along by the sky, which resulted in this shocking scene during Li Xingwen's breakthrough.Pluto is the ruler of the underworld in Roman mythology. Underworld and the translation 'Dark' is the same word.
