Lin Chen spent over ten minutes roughly describing what he had seen and heard in the Cultivation Realm.
Wang Xinyu listened attentively while recording.
She was utterly fascinated by Lin Chen's depiction of the Cultivation Realm.
As a scholar specializing in the Martial Realm, the Cultivation Realm seemed like a dreamlike existence to her.
After listening to Lin Chen's entire introduction, Wang Xinyu appeared thoughtful.
"Have you read the myths and legends from before the Old Era?"
"Some of those stories seem very similar to your description... flying through the air, seeking immortality, even all-powerful Immortals..."
"Previously, these were always regarded as myths, but today it seems to be verified?"
Wang Xinyu's eyes sparkled with fascination.
Lin Chen also seemed thoughtful after hearing this, but he just shook his head and said:
"I don't know if there's any connection between the two, after all, my understanding of the Cultivation Realm is still limited..."
After pausing, Lin Chen continued:
"But I am quite sure that this Cultivation Realm might have a significant impact on this world... Please pay close attention!"
Wang Xinyu nodded emphatically after hearing this.
"Don't worry, we absolutely won't take such a significant discovery lightly..."
Just then, the sound of synchronized footsteps was heard from outside the door.
Dozens of fully armed military Martial Artists, holding weapons, surrounded the research institute to protect it.
A brawny middle-aged man in military uniform strode over.
This man had a square face, thick eyebrows, a prominent nose, and an expression full of righteousness.
"Greetings, Commander Wang!"
Upon seeing this man, Wang Xinyu immediately pretended to salute formally.
"Alright, Xinyu, there's no one else here..."
The newcomer waved his hand, smiling warmly, looking very amiable.
"Hehe, Dad! It's part of the procedure!" Wang Xinyu playfully blinked her eyes.
Lin Chen watched all of this expressionlessly.
This man was one of the reasons Lin Chen chose to find Wang Xinyu at the research institute.
The man's name was Wang Lishan, a Martial Venerable, a hero of the Great Xia Country, holding the rank of general.
Someone of this stature in the Great Xia, Lin Chen's status did not qualify him to meet directly.
But he employed some methods, approached Wang Xinyu to reach Wang Lishan.
While Lin Chen was looking at Wang Lishan, he also scrutinized Lin Chen.
"Young man, you're the one who proposed this report, right?"
"Discovering another world is no child's play..."
After speaking, Wang Lishan waved his hand and said:
"You all go out first, I have something to discuss with this young man..."
"Yes, Commander!"
Dozens of fully armed soldiers responded in unison and marched out of the room, standing guard outside.
Soon, only Lin Chen, Wang Xinyu, and Wang Lishan remained in the room.
"You're called Lin Chen, right? I roughly understand the situation, could you go through it again in detail?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this, and without feeling bothered, repeated what he had previously told Wang Xinyu.
"Cultivation Realm, Spiritual Energy, Cultivators, Treasures of Heaven and Earth..."
Wang Lishan was also amazed after hearing this, having heard from Wang Xinyu about Lin Chen's world traversal.
"But this is a bit too unbelievable... So, is there any evidence?"
As soon as Wang Lishan finished speaking, Wang Xinyu immediately raised her hand and said: "Dad, there's video footage, you can watch it!"
Thus, Wang Lishan went to the computer and repeatedly watched the surveillance video from when Lin Chen traversed the world.
Even at the slowest speed, it was still between a standing Lin Chen suddenly crouching down, with a chair and wooden table appearing in his hands.
Even with his Martial Venerable vision, he couldn't discern any clues from it.
Wang Lishan's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Lin Chen and said:
"Other than surveillance, is there any other evidence proving the existence of that world?"
Wang Xinyu quickly handed over the Spirit Stone from earlier.
Wang Lishan took it and examined it closely; he had never seen such a stone before, yet he could sense a pure energy within it.
At this moment, Lin Chen also extended his hand, displaying the watch on his wrist.
"If you're talking about evidence... my Qi and Blood should be the best proof."
"Previously, my Qi and Blood Value was around 9.7, but now it is 10.7. I've broken through the Martial Disciple bottleneck and officially become a Martial Artist..."
Wang Lishan looked at Lin Chen's watch, his eyes now filled with undeniable astonishment.
"You mean to say that you only stayed in that world for seven days and your Qi and Blood Value increased by a whole point, successfully advancing to Martial Artist?"
Compared to Lin Chen's description of how rich the Cultivation Realm was, Wang Lishan was more concerned with the actual effects.
And in just seven days, for a Martial Disciple to advance to a Martial Artist... it's simply astounding!
Or it might be more apt to call it a miracle!
A seventeen-year-old Martial Artist is not unheard of.
But those prodigies are born in noble families, subjected to scientific training from a young age, supplemented with various nutrient supplies for cultivation.
Even then, it's not possible to break through the Martial Artist bottleneck in just seven days.
It's no exaggeration to say, if it can be replicated, all the youth of Great Xia will become prodigy Martial Artists!
That will be an era where everyone is like a dragon!
With this, well, who would fear Demon Beasts anymore?
Thinking of this, Wang Lishan solemnly said:
"Lin Chen, this matter is significant, and I alone cannot make the decision..."
"I will report this matter and let the high-level of Great Xia jointly discuss it..."
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this; Great Xia is not a one-man show, and such significant matters naturally require high-level joint discussions.
Lin Chen's current goal was merely to prove the existence of the Cultivation Realm.
As to how much benefit the Cultivation Realm could bring to the country, or how much support he could receive...
Time will tell all!
After looking through several pieces of evidence, Wang Lishan was already seventy to eighty percent convinced, recognizing talents like Lin Chen as most precious.
"Li!" Wang Lishan called out.
"Commander, I'm here!"
Soon, a military Martial Artist in his thirties, brimming with heroic spirit, came in.
"He is Li Nian, my guard, and a Martial Spirit level Martial Artist..."
"Currently, the Human Race is facing internal and external troubles, with many spies lurking everywhere... If they discover your existence, you might be in danger..."
Wang Lishan spoke slowly, saying:
"Don't worry, I'm not asking Li to monitor you... just to ensure your safety!"
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, naturally trusting Wang Lishan's words.
If the country wanted to monitor him, they could directly place him under house arrest, so why go through all the trouble?
Moreover, why send a Martial Spirit powerhouse for close protection?
That's a Martial Spirit level!
A truly one-in-a-million powerhouse, someone whom ordinary people might never see in their lifetime...
"Brother Li, please take care of me in the future!" Lin Chen said politely.
