1532: C1532 Talent Selection

C1532 Talent Selection

Pope Augustus is the most powerful man in the Crystal Palace, and he sensed something wrong at the first moment.

When Augustus was comprehending the fragments of the divine book, it was as if he had walked into a dense fog. There was no sense of time or space, nor was there any way to distinguish directions.

His cultivation base had just broken through the realm of the Red Dust Immortal, stepping into the threshold of true immortals. That was why he did not suffer the backlash of the mysterious power.

Augustus waved his hand and set up a translucent defensive array, completely enveloping the glass case.

"Believers, you must act according to your abilities. If your cultivation base is insufficient, do not forcibly comprehend the mysteries of the divine book."

"Such a treasure has appeared in the Church of Catastrophe and can be used at any time."

Everyone braced themselves and expressed their thanks in unison.

The terrible news was sent back to the crystal palace almost at the same time.

Bai Yunfei, the envoy, had died in the Dragon Cage Prison.

The scene of the battle had already been announced by the official media of the Great Xia.

Although there were no complete corpses or even clothes, Bai Yunfei had been missing for a long time. He should have been in trouble.

Augustus let out a sigh and spoke slowly.

"We've already paid a terrible price to retrieve the clues to the Book of God."

"Several red-clothed bishops have died, and even one of the oracles has fallen. This has caused our entire body's Yuan Qi to be greatly damaged."

The expressions of the remaining red-robed bishops also became serious. They were all on par with each other, and if they carried out such a dangerous mission, they would definitely lose their lives.

After thinking for a moment, Cardinal Dylas stood up.

"Respected Pope, we have already obtained the treasure. There is no need for us to fight and kill to consume our strength."

"I think we should select people with decent talent and strength from these black-robed disciples to undergo the examination and be promoted to the new Cardinal."

These words immediately caused a small commotion.

Even if the Cardinal was the high-level management of the Church of Catastrophe, the black-robed disciples were still the most ordinary laborers.

The status of the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.

Pope Augustus also felt that this was a reliable method.

Under great rewards, there would always be a brave man.

Only by bestowing money, power, and status to the people with the current abilities would they be able to make them loyally serve and promote the prosperity of the Church.

"I will prepare the sacrificial ceremony to open the seal of the land of extreme cold."

"All black-robed disciples can voluntarily go there, those who pass the test will enter the list of candidates for the cardinal."

After the meeting ended, everyone rubbed their fists, eager to give it a try.

They all returned to their respective residences and began to cultivate in seclusion for a short period of time. This was called sharpening the spear at the last minute.

The black-robed disciples were also divided into three, six, and nine levels.

The highest level was even for the direct disciples of the Cardinal or the Oracle. They were able to come into contact with unique cultivation manuals or were given very powerful weapons.

The treatment of ordinary black-robed disciples was much worse.

Dirty work, tiring work, and dangerous tasks basically all fell on them, and they had to obey unconditionally.

...

The capital, which was sunny and sunny for tens of thousands of miles, became somewhat desolate.

Recently, the official media had exposed a lot of negative news, causing the ordinary people and many business families to become anxious.

The contestants of the Martial Arts Competition had failed, the fugitives from the Sleeping Dragon Prison had failed, the eastern sea routes had been blocked, and large-scale troops had been deployed to the north.

These news seemed to indicate that the peaceful environment of the past was about to disappear.

Mu Chen sat in the Military Department's office, waiting with nothing to do.

The adonis had yet to send back the news when he led the team up north.

Fatty and Ke Deer Ming followed the guidance of the Seven Star Illusionary Rainbow Bead and searched for traces of the ghost ship, but they did not send back any news.

As for the two seniors, Sacred Hands Nether and Lei Zhenyun, there was even less of a need to elaborate. It was unknown where they had followed the mysterious contestant to.

Just as Mu Chen was feeling bored out of his mind, the administrative secretary pushed open the door and entered.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, a very strange phenomenon has occurred in the eastern sea region of the Lily Peninsula."

"What is it again?"

"[No reports of any ocean disasters, but there are countless giant whirlpools on the surface of the sea]"

The administrative secretary turned on the computer and connected it to a low-orbit reconnaissance satellite.

The captured image was very clear. A whirlpool with a diameter of more than a few hundred meters could be seen, appearing very suddenly on the calm surface of the sea.

Under normal circumstances, an earthquake at the bottom of the sea would destroy the bubble structure of the earth's crust, which would cause such a scene to occur.

However, at this moment, the seismic waves did not exist at all.

Mu Chen looked at the familiar longitude and latitude coordinates and immediately thought of the sunken Mirage Island.

"Could it be that this island is slowly floating up?"

"Without the suppression of the defensive formation, Specter Ship can even float up, let alone such a huge Rootless Island."

Mu Chen waved his hand and let the administrative secretary leave the office.

Then he took a private plane to the Korea Peninsula.

He had left Lin Yuyan here alone for a few days. Since the mysterious existence had not surfaced, Mu Chen naturally had to accompany his other half.

Lin Yuyan, accompanied by a luxurious convoy, passed through the streets and alleys and crossed many cities.

Her main job every day was to inspect the companies opened by the wealthy families of Great Xia.

The continuous earning of foreign currencies depended on these people's hard work.

Seeing Mu Chen return to her side, Lin Yuyan could not help but feel excited.

"According to the detailed information, the number of branches in Great Xia has exceeded 200, and their assets are all above 10 million."

"The areas covered include energy, ores, communications, maritime transportation and infrastructure, daily necessities, luxury goods, and so on. If we continue to expand at this rate, within a few months, we will be able to infiltrate every industry in the Korea Peninsula."2

In comparison, Mu Chen's family business movement was pitifully small. He wanted to give up the huge profits.

Only by hiding and being rich to the people could the overall strength of Great Xia be improved.

Mu Chen said happily.

"It seems that the royal family of Korea is quite obedient. They are able to judge the situation and are not affected by the Warhawk and Maple Country."

"I heard that the envoys of those two countries have already returned to their residences and did not accomplish anything major."

"When they use up all their methods, they will change to a friendly face and come to Great Xia to discuss business cooperation."

Mu Chen had already firmly grasped the other party's thoughts.

He was just waiting for them to bring a generous gift to pay him a visit.

The Dragon Group's intelligence team also sent the entire Korea Peninsula's military defense forces to Mu Chen's mobile phone.
