Chapter 985: Lack of Confidence
Lin Mo nodded slightly.
"Are you the first Martial Arts God of Huaxia, Lin Mo? The instructor of the Sky Group?" The middle-aged man seemed to know Liang Yuan and Fang Tangjing, and upon arrival, scrutinized Lin Mo.
"Hmm." Lin Mo nodded.
"Mr. Lin, let me introduce you. This is Chief Niu, who is in charge of all special forces training in Huaxia and the person responsible for the New Human Plan." Wu Jinfeng introduced.
Lin Mo was slightly shocked upon hearing Wu Jinfeng's introduction. All the special forces training in Huaxia were under this person's jurisdiction, and they were also responsible for the New Human Plan. Clearly, he was a very high-ranking big shot.
"Alright, let's start the meeting now." Chief Niu said.
Everyone nodded and found their seats. Chief Niu, evidently representing Huaxia, directly sat at the head position.
"I believe everyone is now aware of the changes occurring on Earth. Actually, ten years ago, our investigation bureau and other foreign official institutions already discovered the awakening of spirit veins." Chief Niu got straight to the point.
Lin Mo listened quietly. "Currently, the global international superpower investigation organization has discovered a total of three hundred and sixty spirit veins worldwide, among which Huaxia occupies one hundred and fifty, America thirty, Russia forty, France fifteen, the United Kingdom fifteen, and another one hundred and ten spirit veins are scattered across countries like India, Germany, Europe, and Greece."
This information could be considered the top global secret, and even Lin Mo was somewhat shocked upon hearing it.
From ten years ago, the major powers of the world started forming a Superpower Alliance to investigate places where spiritual energy was born and awakened, having achieved so many research accomplishments.
The New Human Plan likely began its layout around that time.
"Our Huaxia occupies one hundred and fifty spirit veins, which is clearly the most, but as everyone knows, some hidden sects are gradually surfacing, and they occupy more than a hundred of the spiritual energy revival sites. Officially, we can only hold onto less than thirty of these sites." Chief Niu said with a serious expression.
"Actually, today's meeting is just to inform everyone of some circumstances. Right now, Huaxia has roughly three main forces: one is the hidden sects surfacing, and the second is the three major martial arts schools we have established." Chief Niu said blandly.
Lin Mo pondered silently. Among those sects were Qingxuan Sect, True Fire Sect, Red Moon Sect, Wind Thunder Sect, and so on... These should also include demon path sects like Beiyao Sect.
It could be said that the Three Great Martial Arts Schools are affiliated with the government, but are the weakest in strength since they were established in the shortest time. However, the current world's major powers possess superweapons, the combination of which can barely counter the power of the Heavenly Sect. "The current situation is that we have established martial arts schools, starting from special forces training, to train super strong Martial Artists to defend their home and stability. Of course, there are also extraordinarily potential people among ordinary people, after all, based on the population size, Huaxia still holds a significant advantage, therefore now we will start selecting some people among ordinary people to join martial arts schools for training."
The meeting lasted for three whole days and nights.
For them, even going without sleep, food, or drink for a week wasn't a problem.
Basically, Lin Mo had grasped the situation: with the revival of spiritual energy, countries are training superpowers and also investigating and discovering more secrets.
However, evidently, they seem unaware of the existence of the Mystical Realm, or perhaps they knew but treated it as top-secret and did not disclose it.
"Lin Mo, our research decision is that we can give you a mountain peak to let you establish a martial arts school; this way, Huaxia will have four great martial arts schools." Chief Niu suddenly shifted his gaze to Lin Mo.
"Let me establish a martial arts school?"
Lin Mo was slightly surprised.
"You are a Huaxia person and bear the role of the Sky Group's instructor. In this situation, we need more strength to protect all the stability and prosperity we currently have." Chief Niu said with fiery eyes.
"Hmm, I am willing to create another martial arts school." Lin Mo nodded.
Chief Niu showed a slight smile on his face: "These years are precisely the critical moment of spiritual energy revival, the strength of Huaxia's Martial Artist relies on you all."
...
The meeting lasted three days and three nights, and Chief Niu also left the Nine Continents Secret Realm.
What Lin Mo didn't expect was that he would be asked to create a martial arts school.
Of course, there are benefits to founding a martial arts school, such as cultivating one's own force. At least, in the future, if he leaves Earth, this force could protect some of his friends, family, and clansmen.
"Xiao Mo, this area is North Mountain Peak, and it also houses a palace of the Nine Stars Sect. What kind of martial arts school do you plan to establish?"
Fang Tangjing, Lin Mo, and Yingzi flew through the air, heading towards a towering northern mountain peak.
"Martial arts school?"
Lin Mo looked at the towering mountain peak ahead, its tip almost always shrouded in white fog, faintly visible through the clouds, a grand palace standing there. In his past life, Lin Mo primarily cultivated magic, reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, and was honored as the Nine Revolutions Immortal Venerable. In this lifetime, with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, he didn't have much experience creating martial arts schools, but he always practiced swordsmanship, with his strongest technique being the Nine Heaven-defying Swords.
"Let it be Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall: Heart like Sword, slashing through all thorns, Heart like Sword, cleaving through life's illusions, Heart like Sword, pointing directly to one's true heart!"
Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a faint light.
"What an excellent 'Heart like Sword', pointing directly to one's true heart, Sword Heart reveals nature." Fang Tangjing laughed heartily.
Nine Stars Sect is encircled by four mountain peaks, with a huge lake at the center; Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall is on the main peak, while Qilin Martial Arts School, Green Dragon Martial Arts School, and Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall occupy lesser peaks, but all possess similar spiritual energy. At the top of the Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall's mountain peak is a majestic palace, with several huge stone pillars on the plaza, engraved with ancient runes, occasionally flowing with golden light.
"Xiao Mo, you can explore this palace freely; how to arrange management is all your responsibility. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to ask me." Fang Tangjing, after bringing Lin Mo to the northern mountain peak, immediately took out a Jade Token and said: "This is the key to open the Nine Stars Sect Barrier, once you inject your True Yuan, this Jade Pendant will recognize only you. With your strength, replicating a few such tokens shouldn't be a problem, allowing disciples to use them."
"Alright, thank you, Senior Fang." Lin Mo took the Jade Pendant with a respectful gesture.
"Then I'll be on my way."
Fang Tangjing smiled, his figure blurred, instantly disappearing from where he stood.
Lin Mo toyed with the Jade Token in his hand, ancient runes carved on it, exuding an everlasting aura. By simply injecting his True Yuan into it, the Jade Token would recognize him as its master.
Each person's cultivated True Yuan is different, a known fact in the Cultivation World, just like the universal rule recognized by the whole world that no two leaves are the same.
"Let's go, and take a look inside." Lin Mo kept the Jade Token, stepping into the temple.
Yingzi immediately followed him.
After taking a tour of the palace on North Mountain Peak, which had a similar layout to the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts Hall, it consisted of a Cultivation Room, Weapon Storage, Scripture Collection Pavilion, Council Hall, and a main hall.
"Not bad, Yingzi, I'm afraid I won't have time to teach the disciples here, so I now appoint you as the Deputy Master of Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall." Lin Mo said calmly.
"But, Master... my strength... might not be enough." Yingzi said with her head lowered, her face slightly blushing.
Just now, at the northern peak, there were several disciples among them who had reached the Star Wheel Realm, while Yingzi hadn't even broken through Divine Force yet.
To be continued tomorrow.
