Chapter 295 Kunlun Opens its Gate, the Dao Spreads Throughout the World
While the U.S. Secretary of State was fretting over the exorbitant bill at the Divine Kitchen Temple—a demand for either technical expertise in exchange for honors or national protection—another team had already quietly arrived at the Kunlun Taoist Temple's Beijing liaison office on the outskirts of Beijing.
This group was personally led by that four-star general.
Compared to the political infighting, this tough soldier trusted his intuition more. He felt that the "Kunlun Taoist Temple," which sounded so mysteriously Eastern, might be closer to the essence of power.
The liaison office was located in a scenic garden with pavilions, terraces, and winding streams, making it look more like a high-end resort than a serious institution.
They were greeted not by some venerable Taoist priest, but by a middle-aged man dressed in a sharp Zhongshan suit who looked like a government official.
"Welcome to the Kunlun Liaison Office. I am Xuan Chen, the person in charge here."
Master Xuanchen has now changed into modern clothes, but the occasional glint of shrewdness in his eyes and the faint, transcendent aura he exudes make him someone you dare not underestimate.
"Mr. Xuan Chen, we are..." The four-star general was just about to introduce himself.
"I know who you are and why you've come," Xuan Chen interrupted him directly, making a "please" gesture and leading them to an elegant tea room.
In the tea room, there was no elaborate negotiation table, only a set of simple and unadorned tea utensils.
Xuan Chen personally brewed tea for them, his movements fluid and graceful, with a pleasing rhythm.
"General, gentlemen, please have some tea."
The four-star general picked up his teacup, but had no interest in tasting it. He asked directly, "Mr. Xuan Chen, we would like to know how we can learn your 'cultivation methods'? What price do we need to pay?"
He was a soldier and liked to be straightforward.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Chen smiled slightly and put down his teacup.
"General, you speak frankly, so I won't beat around the bush either," he said frankly. "My master, the True Man Zhang Sanfeng, established the Kunlun Taoist Academy by order of his decree. His original intention was to spread the Tao throughout the world, enlighten the people, and help them overcome difficulties together."
Therefore, the methods of cultivation are not necessarily forbidden from being passed on to outsiders.
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the four-star general and his entourage.
"However..." Xuan Chen changed the subject, "The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. All things in the world have their rules. If you want to learn superior techniques from my Kunlun, you also need to follow the rules of my Kunlun."
"What are the rules?"
"Achievements," Xuan Chen slowly uttered the two words.
That word again!
The four-star general's heart skipped a beat; this coincided with the information he had received from the Secretary of State.
"Mr. Xuan Chen, could you please explain in detail what this 'achievement' actually means?"
"Of course." Xuan Chen nodded. He picked up a tablet computer from the table beside him, tapped it lightly, and a screen of light was projected into the air in front of everyone.
On the light screen, the "course schedule" of Kunlun Taoist Academy was clearly displayed.
"The Body Refinement Technique for All" - an open resource, available for free download worldwide, for independent practice.
Kunlun Basic Breathing Technique – Effects: Clears the mind and brightens the eyes, prolongs life, and slightly enhances mental strength. Exchange Requirement: Contribute 1 national merit points to the "Human Civilization Merit Pool".
Kunlun Bone Forging Fist – Effects: Strengthens bones and muscles, increases strength; suitable for soldiers and security personnel. Exchange Requirement: Contribute 10 National Merit Points.
The Kunlun Tranquility Mantra – Effects: Soothes the mind, resists mental pollution, and has remarkable effects in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Exchange Requirement: Contribute 10 points of national merit.
……
Below are a dozen or so other techniques, each marked with miraculous effects and high achievement requirements.
Next to the "course schedule" is another list—"Guide to Acquiring Achievements of Human Civilization".
"Share the results of basic scientific research (non-military) with China and reward 1000 to 10 merit points based on the value assessment."
"For every $10 billion invested in infrastructure construction in impoverished regions such as Africa and Latin America, 1000 merit points will be awarded."
"Provides rare minerals such as 'Stardust' and 'Mithril' for constructing the 'Global Defense Array,' with a reward of 5000 merit points per ton."
"The capture of internationally wanted terrorists and war criminals who commit crimes against humanity will be rewarded with 100 to 1 merit points, depending on the severity of their crimes."
"In the trials of the 'Sky Dome Martial Alliance,' individuals and nations can gain merit by hunting down extradimensional monsters, depending on the monster's level."
Looking at the list, the four-star general and his team all fell silent.
They finally understood.
This is not a "timetable" or "task list" at all.
This is clearly a brand-new global governance plan led by China, or rather, by that "gentleman"!
It incorporates all countries in the world into a unified reward and punishment system centered on "merit".
In this system, if you want to gain extraordinary power and the protection of "gods," you can no longer rely on military and financial hegemony to plunder and oppress as before.
You must make a real and tangible contribution to this world.
Do you want to share your technology?
Either go and help the weak.
Either you go and uphold justice.
Either you go to the front lines and fight against those unknown, terrifying enemies.
What a grand and ingenious scheme this is!
It fundamentally dismantled the old, US-led Western hegemonic system.
It forces all countries in the world to strive in a "positive and progressive" direction.
Otherwise, in this coming age of mythology, you will be left far behind and eventually become nothing more than obsolete dust.
"General, this...this is reshaping the world order!" A strategic analyst accompanying him murmured, his voice filled with shock and a hint of helplessness.
The four-star general remained silent.
He stared intently at the message "Hunting extradimensional monsters" on the screen.
His eyes gleamed with a light unique to soldiers.
He felt that this path might be more suitable for America than for politicians to bow their heads in apology and share technology.
Use battles to earn glory and achievements.
This is consistent with their usual style.
"Mr. Xuan Chen," the four-star general raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Could you please provide a more detailed explanation of this 'Sky Dome Martial Alliance' and the 'Otherworldly Monster'?"
Xuan Chen looked at the general who exuded an aura of iron and blood, and a hint of approval appeared in his eyes.
"Of course." He smiled and nodded. "This is the second phase of the plan that Kunlun will announce to the world next."
"My master, on the orders of the master, will join forces with the Divine Chef Hall and another mysterious hall master who is in charge of 'slaughter' to open a true testing ground to all cultivators in the world who aspire to become stronger."
"There, there is opportunity, and there is death."
"That place is a paradise for the strong, and a hell for the weak."
"We call it..."
"Atlantis: Bloody Game"
Just then, a commotion arose outside the tea room.
A young Taoist boy rushed in and whispered a few words in Xuan Chen's ear.
Xuan Chen listened and a playful smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and made an apologetic gesture to the four-star general.
"Excuse me, General, I need to take my leave for a moment."
"Outside, a lot of 'new students' have arrived. They also want to enroll in our Kunlun 'tutoring classes'."
Outside the gate, military or diplomatic representatives from dozens of countries, including Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, waited anxiously at the garden entrance, their faces filled with longing and unease.
A grand spectacle of "all nations paying tribute," spearheaded by Kunlun, is quietly unfolding.
