538 A Shocked Federation (2/2)

”There are still incoming jade slips!”

As soon as he said that, the sixth jade slip, seventh, eighth appeared… when they counted up to fifteen jade slips, the light shining from the teleportation array formation erupted and reached its peak intensity. All fifteen jade slips materialized!

There were fifteen jade slips in total. They floated above the array formation, each one of them giving off unique energy signatures. The sight sent Duan Muque's heart racing. Even Li Xingwen gasped.

Truth be told… if they counted the total number of cultivation techniques they had received from Federation Seedlings for the past six months, it would total at fifteen sets. Now, they had just received fifteen sets at the same time. There was no way they could remain calm. They weren't the only ones who were shocked. The cultivators guarding the area were all alarmed and reeling back from shock and surprise.

Duan Muque and Li Xingwen moved at the same time. They gathered the fifteen jade slips and inspected them separately. Their breathing quickened. Incredulity and disbelief colored their eyes, and they stared at each other.

”All of these with me, they're all from Wang Baole…” Duan Muque hesitated. His eyes shifted and stared at the jade slips in Li Xingwen's hands.

”Mine… are all from Wang Baole as well…” Li Xingwen coughed, then said indifferently.

Duan Muque had his guesses and had been prepared to hear that. However, he still reeled back in shock when he heard what Li Xingwen said. He had learned from Mo Gaozi some details about what was going on in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace. He knew what it meant to be able to send over fifteen sets of cultivation techniques in a single teleportation. However, after he recovered from his initial shock, he was overcome by an intense glee. Happiness filled his heart.

”With these fifteen sets of cultivation techniques, the cultivation civilization of the Federation will be able to advance to the next level!” Duan Muque held the jade slips in his hands and laughed loudly. Warmth and consolation colored Li Xingwen's eyes as well. He was shocked as well, and a soothing sense of pride flowed through his entire body. He concluded he hadn't wasted his attention and care on Wang Baole. The kid had made him proud. At that thought, Li Xingwen glanced at Duan Muque, then suddenly laughed.

”Duanmu, you might have to give up your office when Wang Baole returns.”

As soon as those words were said, Duan Muque stopped laughing. He wouldn't miss being president. However, the thought of Wang Baole, that little fatty, becoming president, just seemed out of place. He did some mental calculations. He figured that the fatty would at least have to send over thirty sets of cultivation techniques to earn his presidency. Even so, he still had an excuse ready. Wang Baole was too young to be president.

At that thought, Duan Muque set his heart at ease. He laughed arrogantly.

”Wang Baole will have to continue working harder if he wants to become the president. But I look forward to the day when it happens!” Having said that, Duan Muque immediately issued orders to make an announcement to the entire Federation. On the ranking board that was visible to all citizens of the Federation, Li Yi's name, which had originally been placed first in the list, instantly fell to second place as it was surpassed by Wang Baole again!

That wasn't the end of it. The number behind Wang Baole's name had changed as well, from three to eighteen. The shock that brought to everyone in the Federation was unprecedented. The entire Federation burst into an uproar as citizens gasped in shock and cheered at the same time.

The cultivation techniques that had been sent back by the Federation Seedlings were immediately made accessible to the populace for cultivation in succession. Such an approach was employed to speed up and increase the development of the cultivation civilization across the entire Federation.

Wang Baole might not be able to hear the cheers for him, but that didn't affect his anticipation towards taking over as Federation President. Then, he considered Little Duanmu's character. He realized it might not be so easy to get him to abdicate…

Thirty sets isn't a sure bet. I have to set an intermediate target for myself. I'll get my hands on fifty sets then blast them over. We'll see if Little Duanmu gives his presidency up. That's not right. What he's doing is surrendering the presidency to a better candidate. Wang Baole's spirits soared at that thought. He was about to leave the teleportation array formation when something happened. Seven to eight cultivators in black robes appeared with an intense murderous aura surrounding them. They were clearly not ordinary cultivators. They had raced down from the main halls on the mountain top and surrounded Wang Baole in an instant. They activated their cultivation and released waves of spirit energy, seeming ready for a fight.

The one leading them was a middle-aged man with an emotionless, stern expression on his face. He swept his eyes across Wang Baole, then said coolly.

”Wang Baole, you're in trouble. Come with us!”
