Chapter 19: Cultivation is More Than Just Fighting and Killing

The recovery of Spiritual Qi.

The return of myths.

Supernatural Awakening.

Human evolution.

This brand-new era goes by different names in the mouths of different people.

However, the consensus among everyone is that the beginning of this new era originated from the Great Cataclysm five years ago.

That Great Cataclysm shattered humanity's dream of hegemony; many Supernatural things and fantasy existences that should have been impossible appeared abruptly in the real world, causing significant destruction.

Even today, such anomalies still appear from time to time.

But it is also precisely thanks to this.

Humans on Earth began to master Supernatural powers; a few lucky individuals or those with extremely high Comprehension Ability could even reach the heavens in a single bound, becoming true experts.

Today, five years later, the emergence of Supernaturals has become a norm, with benefits and obligations defined by formal laws.

Some are envious, feeling that Supernaturals are superior beings.

Some sigh, feeling that the mortality rate of Supernaturals is high.

"But without a doubt, this is a truly exciting era, a magnificent era with infinite possibilities."

Half a month later.

Having quickly mastered Dao techniques through his simulated memories, Xu Xi walked on his own two legs for the first time in five years, leaving his home and slowly observing the city streets.

[Taiji Bun Shop]

[Telekinesis Barbershop]

[Dou Qi Horse Vocational Training School]

Looking at the various shops on both sides of the street that combined Earth's local culture with Supernatural systems, Xu Xi couldn't help but feel a momentary daze.

The technology tree of humanity on Earth had now completely veered off course.

Traces of Supernatural power were everywhere.

Of course, in just five years, although the number of human Supernaturals on Earth had increased significantly, it had not reached the point of universal Supernatural status.

Most of these storefronts on the street had changed their names just to ride the wave of popularity.

Real Supernaturals.

Basically all joined the Supernatural Administration Bureau.

Enjoying the high treatment and resource channels provided by the national government.

Correspondingly, the authorities would issue certain tasks and cooperative projects for the Supernaturals to complete—with compensation, of course.

Both sides benefited from each other; it could be called a win-win situation.

"Perhaps I should also join the Supernatural Administration Bureau. If I remember correctly, there's a branch nearby."

Walking along the road, Xu Xi bought breakfast on the way.

The large meat buns had thin skins and generous filling, and the juice inside was also very abundant. Overall, they were delicious. Incidentally, the merchant gave him a bowl of sweet tofu pudding.

"Cultivation isn't just about fighting and killing; it's also about the ways of the world."

"With my strength at the Golden Core Stage, joining the Administration Bureau should earn me some attention. Then, I can use the Bureau's channels to find the so-called anchor mediums."

"Even if I can't find them, I can use the Bureau's resources to increase my strength."

Taking a bite of the meat bun.

Feeling the warm meat juice burst on the tip of his tongue.

Xu Xi pondered slightly.

He didn't plan to imitate those Long Aotian-style protagonists who, once they had a Golden Finger, despised the existence of the state and felt they would eventually reach the peak.

Facts had already proven that such behavior was foolish and wrong.

Back in the Early Stage of the Spiritual Qi recovery.

Many lucky individuals who gained Supernatural powers held this mindset, secretly hiding among ordinary people and thinking they were the chosen ones.

As a result, when the authorities officially released the information, these so-called 'protagonists' were stunned to realize they had already fallen far behind.

The wisdom of one person.

Simply cannot compare to the roar of the state machine.

"As for my cultivation level, I can explain it as an accidental acquisition of a Legacy. Such things have happened more than a hundred times since the Spiritual Qi recovery."

"I don't need to hide anything at all."

"No time like the present; I'll join the Administration Bureau today."

After eating and drinking his fill.

Xu Xi opened his phone and searched for the location of the Supernatural Administration Bureau branch.

Locked onto the location.

Set off.

…

The arrival of the Supernatural era provided humans with more energy sources, leading to an upgrade in transportation, with speeds far exceeding the past.

However, Xu Xi had truly not walked for too long.

Plus, his magic power formed its own cycle.

He didn't feel tired at all.

He walked leisurely for over two hours, occasionally stopping to look at newly built structures, and occasionally observing the Mana-Spiritual Qi Hybrid Engine Taxis flashing past him.

It wasn't until near noon that he reached his destination.

Yanshan City Supernatural Administration Bureau Branch.

What came into view was a quite spectacular towering building, like a majestic mountain peak, while also carrying the flow of dense, mysterious auras.

"As expected, as one of the gathering places for Supernaturals, the Administration Bureau has its own defensive measures."

Xu Xi watched curiously for a while.

Then he walked into the main gate of the Administration Bureau.

Compared to its grand exterior, the interior of the Administration Bureau was even more massive. In the vast space, people were walking everywhere, and corridors intersected.

Since it was Xu Xi's first time, he naturally didn't know where to go.

So, he stopped a male staff member passing by and asked:

"Excuse me, it's my first time here. Where do I go to register as a Supernatural?"

"Oh, you're going to the Registration Room, right? I happen to be going that way, so I'll take you there."

The male staff member was very enthusiastic.

He led the way in front.

While carrying a thick folder of data, he couldn't help but ask: "By the way, brother, what kind of Supernatural power do you have? Did you awaken it yourself?"

Xu Xi smiled: "I'm a Cultivator, I guess. I got lucky and obtained a Legacy while lying at home sleeping."

As soon as these words were spoken, the staff member's expression clearly became envious.

"I really envy you."

"Not only can you awaken Supernatural power, but you're also the most famous type—a Cultivator."

"Brother, yours is truly too outrageous; you can cultivate just by sleeping."

The staff member's tone could not hide his bitterness.

In this era, there are many Supernatural powers that can be awakened, including but not limited to Xuanhuan, Cultivation, Martial Arts, Magic, Dou Qi, and so on.

But if you were to say which Supernatural power Chinese people are most passionate about and desire the most.

Without a doubt.

It is definitely being a Cultivator.

After all, how many people didn't fantasize about the carefree scene of flying on a sword during their childhood?

Clearly, this male staff member leading the way was a fanatic fan of the cultivation system.

While leading Xu Xi.

He looked at Xu Xi with immense envy.

That resentful and longing gaze stared at Xu Xi until he couldn't take it anymore.

"Cough, cough, just luck, just luck," Xu Xi said. "I've only just stepped onto the path of cultivation, my strength is weak, and there's still a long way to go before Immortal Ascension."

"That's true."

Hearing Xu Xi's explanation, the staff member's expression improved a bit.

Just as the two were about to arrive at the Registration Room.

Suddenly, exclamations and cries for help, as well as the roar of a frenzied beast, came from the corridor on the right.

"Oh no! People in front, get out of the way!"

"A Foundation Establishment Yao Beast has broken free from its Beast Taming Ring and is running toward you!"

The crowd fell into chaos, fleeing in all directions.

The Physical Body strength of a Foundation Establishment Yao Beast is terrifying. It was a Red-Eyed Angry Tiger; as its four claws galloped, it easily destroyed both sides of the corridor.

Even Supernaturals of the same level would find it difficult to face the impact of a Foundation Establishment tiger demon head-on.

At the critical moment.

Xu Xi stepped forward.

He made a grasping motion with his fingers.

"Bang—" A slight sound of air tearing rang out, and the surging airflow turned into an invisible cage, firmly suppressing the rampaging tiger demon and forcing its four claws to the ground.

Staff member: ???

This is what you call weak strength?
