Chapter 106 - Extreme Changes in the World, Extreme Weather Conditions Are Frequent
Chapter 106: Extreme Changes in the World, Extreme Weather Conditions Are Frequent
Time flowed like water, fleeting.
To cultivators, the concept of time was irrelevant.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, everyone in the sect had advanced by another class.
Because of this, Qin Chuan obtained a massive amount of points.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, Qin Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground.
“Host, please confirm again, do you want to upgrade the sect?”
The system prompt sounded again.
Qin Chuan gritted his teeth, “Yes!”
Swoosh!
The 100,000 points disappeared instantly.
He was back to being broke at once, and Qin Chuan couldn’t help but feel a little pained.
As the points disappeared, changes took place in the sect.
The sect was located in the first mountain. After a flash of light, the mountain became larger and taller. There were also five small mountain peaks now.
Qin Chuan thought that he could divide the five specializations into these five mountain peaks in the future.
After the mountain changed, spiritual energy swiftly followed.
Spiritual energy was the primary source of energy for cultivation.
The sect’s upgrades were akin to a huge river of water rushing into a lake. The amount of spiritual energy instantly multiplied, and at the same time, it also became even richer.
With this kind of spiritual energy, their cultivation speed would undoubtedly improve by several times, and everyone’s cultivation realm would also increase along with it.
After their cultivation realms advanced, Qin Chuan would be rewarded with points again.
Although he would not be able to recoup his losses in a short period of time, in the long run, the benefits were huge.
His 100,000 points were well spent.
…
In the bamboo forest.
Qin Chuan stood up and lightly exhaled.
He had already stayed in the sect for more than half a month. This was the longest time in the sect ever since he had activated the system.
After being cut off from the outside world for so long, he did not know if any major events had happened.
It was time to go out today.
Qin Chuan walked out of the bamboo forest. As usual, he went to take a look at the various specializations. Everyone remained extremely diligent.
The first batch of students had completed the second phase of their studies two days ago. The second batch had successfully entered the second phase with the help of the first batch.
Currently, the first batch of students was in the final stage of their studies.
When they had fully grasped everything, they would have to come into contact with true weapon forging, pill refinement, array formations, and other immortal cultivation methods.
In the training hall, Zhao Xuanxuan was cultivating spells, looking serious.
Ma Qingxue continued to meditate and cultivate as usual.
Qin Chuan watched them from afar and did not bother them.
Ever since they started cultivating, their interactions with Qin Chuan had decreased.
To be honest, Qin Chuan didn’t immediately expose them to cultivation because he had considered this.
After all, cultivation was a very time-consuming and exhausting thing.
Once one embarked on the path of immortality and experienced the pleasure of cultivating and leveling up, it was hard to think about doing anything else.
Like the elderly—ever since Qin Chuan moved the cultivation site here, no one had left except Wang Zhixing.
When he thought of this, Qin Chuan suddenly realized a problem.
Although these were mostly old grandparents who rarely talked to their families, it would be weird if they never contacted them.
Most importantly, they were disconnected from the outside world. If this continued, they would be out of touch with this world.
Qin Chuan felt that if this continued, something might happen.
He had to find a time to let them come out and interact with this world again. Of course, the most important thing was to contact their family.
“Mm! It’s decided then.”
Qin Chuan already had a plan.
Back in the present world.
Jin Bao was actively doing construction.
Three-fifths of the guesthouse, which Huang Huang had ruined, had been completed with Jin Bao’s efforts around the clock.
Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Jin Bao was startled.
After all, it had been half a month since they last met.
“Master!” Jin Bao ran to Qin Chuan and bowed.
Qin Chuan calmly glanced at him.
“It looks good. Keep it up.”
After being praised by Qin Chuan, Jin Bao’s eyes instantly lit up. It couldn’t help but look towards the future.
It did not expect to feel so happy over a compliment.
…
As he sat in the pavilion, Qin Chuan switched on his phone and went online to check if anything major had happened recently.
Opening the world channel, Qin Chuan saw a piece of news.
[Yesterday Afternoon, the Emperor of Bitver Announced That Tapada Is Now An Ally.]
When this news came out, the world was in an uproar.
Plenty of people in many countries went to the streets to protest against this alliance.
The Bitver Empire was a Western country and was also a powerful country in the world.
Tapada was an energy-rich country that accounted for 40% of the world’s oil.
In recent years, Western countries had constantly been waging wars against small countries over resources.
As an energy-rich country, Tapada possessed 40% of the world’s oil and had long been coveted by the West.
But it was extraordinarily wealthy because of oil.
With money, they were able to buy a large number of weapons to equip themselves.
Hence, Tapada was considered a rather strong country.
Average countries would not dare to provoke them.
But compared to a century-old power like Bitver, it was still a little small.
In recent years, the Bitver Empire had been annexing many small countries.
The news of the Bitver Empire forming an alliance with Tapada spoke for itself.
Those who were knowledgeable about world politics knew what this meant.
To the public, they were allies.
But in reality, the Bitver Empire had used force to coerce Tapada into an alliance.
As a result, the Bitever Empire would be in control of a large amount of oil.
This was terrifying.
Oil, known as the blood of the industries—the king of energy, was the lifeline of a country’s economic development.
From this, the ambitions of the Bitver Empire were evident.
The moment the news got out, world oil prices first dropped and then soared to the sky.
Oil prices affected all aspects of the world, and the resulting butterfly effect had sent the world economy reeling again.
When Qin Chuan saw this news, he was extremely calm.
These things were prevalent.
It didn’t matter what world he was in. The strong preyed on the weak. This was an eternal truth.
After reading this news, he continued scrolling.
[All Kinds of Extreme Weather And Natural Disasters Are Happening Around The World.]
Qin Chuan was interested in this news, and he clicked on it.
“The sudden snowstorm in the low latitude region has lasted several days, and there are no signs of it ending.”
“The temperature in the high latitude region suddenly rose to 40 degrees Celsius. This has persisted for several days and there are no signs of that changing.”
“Since yesterday, there have been rare tsunamis near many coastal regions. The waves reached 60 to 70 meters, and the coastal cities were instantly flooded. The number of casualties and economic losses are incalculable.”
“Yesterday night, volcanoes erupted in places like Grodam, Johib, Languam and many other places…”
“…”
There were many such news articles, and Qin Chuan browsed through them all.
From what he understood, these phenomena violated the laws. They weren’t natural. There had to be a reason behind this.
The comments section stated that it was due to the overdevelopment of humans that maliciously damaged the natural environment that ultimately brought on retaliation from nature.
After these events, countries around the world took them seriously.
They immediately sent people to the disaster area. While saving the victims, they collected a lot of data and used them for research.
Regarding these actions and measures, Qin Chuan merely smiled.
Qin Chuan knew what those researchers would conclude. Instead, they would say humans didn’t contribute to these disasters. They would give an example of how similar phenomena had occurred sometime years ago and that they were just unlucky to encounter them once again.
No one would believe such words except a three-year-old.
However, they were scientists, so their words were based on studies. They had scientific evidence.
It’s all bullsh*t!
Qin Chuan no longer paid attention to world affairs and shifted his attention back to local news.
Suddenly, a piece of news caught his attention.
“It’s him?”
