The representatives from China and other countries exchanged glances, then nodded, indicating they were ready.
Deng He looked at Lin Yong, who stood beside him, and said, "Old Lin, are you sure you want to accompany me to the Great Qian Dynasty? Although we are going to redeem people and pay a visit, there are still dangers."
His expression was solemn. Although China had no conflict with the Great Qian Dynasty, and those cultivators didn't seem like wicked people, it was unlikely they would encounter trouble.
But who could be sure of the outcome? It was not impossible that letting them return to Earth was a conspiracy.
Deng He could never forget the sight of cultivators tearing apart fighter jets and killing hundreds of officers in an instant.
Lin Yong looked worried and said, "Old father, my children are in the imperial capital of the cultivators. I can't rest assured if I don't go with you."
Like him, several others whose families were captured by cultivators had also come along.
Deng He nodded and no longer persuaded him. Instead, he turned to continue negotiating with representatives from other countries.
At this moment, the countries on Earth were divided into two distinct factions: those who had opened fire on the guards of the Great Qian Dynasty, and those like China who had not.
"Clay, you, the United States, took the lead in attacking the Great Qian Dynasty. You are now in a state of hostility. How dare you go to their territory?" the Russian representative scoffed.
Clay frowned and snorted, "That was an order given by Cyrus personally and has nothing to do with us, the United States. This time, I am going to explain clearly to those cultivators of Great Qian that the United States and the Great Qian Dynasty will not be enemies, but friends!"
After the news of the cultivators reached the United States, the high-level officials immediately analyzed the probability of victory if the United States went to war with Great Qian.
The final result was that without the use of nuclear weapons, the chance of victory was zero.
Even with the use of nuclear weapons, the winning percentage would not exceed 10%, as they did not know if nuclear weapons could harm cultivators.
Given such a huge disparity in strength, the US high command wisely surrendered, shifting all responsibility to Cyrus. They even arrested and detained Cyrus's family, ready to offer them to the cultivators as atonement.
This was because they had learned from Chinese cultivation novels that cultivators loved to exterminate entire families and eradicate all traces!
When it came to selecting a representative, the US high command was also very thoughtful. Knowing that the cultivators' country was ruled by an emperor, they chose Clay, who was hot, sexy, and exuded a seductive charm, as their representative.
England, the island nation, and a host of other countries that had followed the United States in opening fire on the Great Qian soldiers also followed the US's decision.
Among them, Vison, the representative from England, had the worst fate. He was going to beg for forgiveness. Upon learning of the situation with the cultivators, the royal family had immediately abandoned him.
They demanded that he bear all the responsibility, otherwise, his family would be threatened.
Vison could only swallow his pride and accept his fate.
Who told him that he had been bewitched and had actually believed Cyrus's words and opened fire on the cultivators? It was all his own doing.
"Let's set off. Our leaders are eager to know the attitude of the cultivators in the Great Wilderness," Deng He said. The others nodded in agreement.
The large warships began to move, heading in the direction of the Great Wilderness.
The whole world was also paying attention to the situation in the Great Wilderness. From national leaders to ordinary citizens, everyone was immensely curious and eager about the cultivators.
And at this very moment, a shocking piece of news exploded on the internet!
"Epic Discovery! The Kunlun Research Institute, through ancient texts, has successfully guided the spiritual energy in the air. This confirms that the legends of Chinese Qi refiners are true! Mortals can indeed cultivate to become immortals!"
As soon as this news broke, it instantly detonated the entire internet and affected the globe.
Cultivation was real, and not only could people in the Great Wilderness cultivate, but people on Earth could too!
"Holy crap! Awesome, you can actually cultivate, Taoism is amazing! Which scripture is it? I'm going to cultivate too!"
"Could it be the 'Tao Te Ching'? This is the foundation of Taoism, it must be it!"
"The Kunlun Research Institute has issued a statement. It's not the 'Tao Te Ching' or any of the Taoist classics passed down through history, but an ancient yellow paper. It's said that the cultivation technique has less than a hundred characters, like a mantra?"
"So that's how cultivation techniques are? Damn, then I've wasted all my time reading the 'Tao Te Ching'?"
"So all the thousands of dollars I just spent buying Taoist classics at the bookstore were for nothing?"
"Not entirely in vain. Cultivation techniques are full of professional jargon. If you don't understand them, you can't cultivate!"
In an instant, everyone on Earth went crazy. Major research institutions immediately called the Kunlun Research Institute to ask if they could share their research findings.
In the Kunlun Research Institute, a group of elderly scholars were excited. On the table in front of them lay a severely damaged yellow paper.
The yellow paper was inscribed with dozens of characters in a unique ink, all ancient characters from the pre-Qin period, and they were very clear.
"Mount Kunlun indeed holds great secrets. This yellow paper was found by a herdsman while he was herding his cattle," said an old professor, his voice filled with excitement.
Someone asked, "Where was it found? That place must be extraordinary. Perhaps there are other rare items, even cultivation techniques!"
"It was in the West Mountain Canyon. A sudden earthquake occurred there a few days ago. This yellow paper seems to have been brought by the earthquake, which is very strange," someone replied, explaining the specific process by which the herdsman found the yellow paper.
