Chapter 245 The 749th Bureau of China is Established!
Old Mo was the first to come to his senses. He rubbed his temples vigorously, and his eyes regained their clarity, but the gravity in them was almost overflowing.
"An extraterrestrial evil god...colluded with Western deities..."
Old Mo repeated in a low voice.
Tang Sanzang put his hands together in prayer:
"Amitabha. The power of evil spirits can defile the divine body and corrupt the divine soul. Such evil is indeed a calamity for all living beings."
"The destruction of the Heavenly Court by the gods of China in those days was a tragic and helpless act."
An elderly man carrying a general's star on his shoulder spoke with a hoarse voice.
"So, our current enemies may not just be those dogs from the West, but also those extraterrestrial beings. No, to be precise, extraterrestrial evil gods?"
Su Fan nodded in affirmation.
"That's right, just like the evil calamity we encountered in the Northern Frontier, and the remains of the evil god we found on the white jade steps of the Southern Heavenly Gate."
"And these are only a small part of the evil god's power. As for the real evil god, no one knows whether it exists on the land of China."
The meeting room fell silent again, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Yuan Qingsheng slammed his hand on the table, and the Xuanming Heavy Water Flag was slammed to the ground with a dull thud.
"When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on; when water comes, we'll dam it! Our celestial ancestors fought valiantly to defeat them. Now that we've obtained the secrets of the Chinese gods, are we afraid? Besides, we have this!"
He pointed to the Haotian Golden Palace Seal in Su Fan's hand.
"This Haotian Golden Palace Seal represents orthodoxy and can unlock the Lingxiao Secret Treasury. More importantly, it seems to have a certain restraining effect on the dark power of that evil god."
Su Fan added that he recalled how the black aura emanating from the remnants of the evil god was clearly suppressed when the seal's clear light swept over them.
Old Mo took a deep breath, his gaze becoming sharp and resolute:
"Old Yuan is right! Fear won't solve the problem. The enemy is stronger and more cunning, so we'll become stronger than them! With the Heavenly Court's legacy in hand and Master Xuanzang by our side, that's our greatest strength!"
After speaking, Old Mo looked around at everyone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the information overload is indeed enormous, but crisis also presents opportunity. Now is not the time to stand idly by, but the time to act!"
"I command!"
Everyone instinctively straightened their backs.
"First, establish the Heavenly Legacy Group, codenamed 'Dome'."
"Under my direct leadership, with Master Xuanzang, Su Fan, Yuan Qingsheng, and Ma Tao as core members, and top experts from various fields joining us. The primary task..."
"Learn a comprehensive understanding of the 'Complete Collection of Basic Celestial Talismans' brought back by Su Fan, and quickly enhance the strength of the Chinese Divine Masters."
"Second, launch the 'Torch Relay' program. Expand its scale and raise the selection standards. Based on the basic cultivation talismans in the jade slip, and combined with the 'Buddha's Light,' develop a safer and more efficient new cultivation system."
"Third, the entire nation is entering a state of high alert, Level A. Intelligence agencies will spare no expense and utilize all available covert forces to ascertain the latest movements of the Western alliance!"
Fourth, Su Fan.
Old Mo looked at him with an extremely solemn expression.
"Your task is the most important. Quickly master the new treasures and utilize the hidden resources to improve your cultivation."
"The mysteries of the Haotian Golden Palace Seal require your further exploration. You are key to our response to future threats! All base resources will be prioritized for your protection!"
"Yes!" Su Fan replied in a deep voice, feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Old Mo waved his hand.
"Meeting adjourned! Everyone return to your duties!"
The crowd filed out, their eyes filled with urgency.
Su Fan was taken to the deepest part of the base, to a dedicated training room with the highest level of protection.
This place is not only the most abundant in spiritual energy, but it is also protected by multiple layers of arrays, ensuring absolute safety and tranquility.
Su Fan sat down cross-legged, his harvest laid out in front of him.
The Haotian Golden Palace Seal floated in the center, radiating a majestic luster.
The Demon-Binding Rope, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, fragments of the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, the Jade Bottle of Three Lights Divine Water, and the Jade Slip of the Complete Collection of Talismans were laid out in a row.
Su Fan picked up the jade slip containing the "Complete Collection of Basic Celestial Talismans".
As his consciousness sank in, the mysteries of the thirty-six basic talismans instantly flooded into his mind.
Su Fan tried to understand the underlying principles and deduce how they combined with his own divine power.
"The essence of drawing talismans is to use specific patterns to activate the rules of heaven and earth, storing and releasing power."
"My divine power originates from a contracted deity. Is it possible to integrate the characteristics of that deity's power into talismans? For example, when drawing a Fiery Talisman, could I incorporate the characteristics of Nezha's Samadhi True Fire? When drawing a Vajra Talisman, could I evoke the indestructible golden body of Sun Wukong?"
This thought made Su Fan's heart race.
If feasible, the power of the talismans he draws will far exceed that of ordinary ones!
Just do it.
Su Fan immediately took out specially made talisman paper and talisman brush, and prepared talisman ink mixed with cinnabar and the Three Lights Divine Water.
This time, Su Fan is going to draw an exorcism talisman.
This talisman has the effect of suppressing and purifying evil spirits.
Su Fan focused his mind and calmed his breath.
He dipped the brush tip in ink, but did not immediately put pen to paper. Instead, he first visualized the image of Nezha in his mind, and then slowly poured a wisp of divine power containing the characteristics of Samadhi Fire into the brush tip.
Let's put pen to paper!
With swift strokes, golden patterns appeared on the talisman paper.
A faint hint of fiery red emanates from the patterns, indicating that the characteristics of Samadhi Fire have been successfully guided and integrated into them!
Su Fan was completely focused, his mind highly concentrated, controlling the output of divine power and the direction of the brushstrokes.
The final stroke, the connecting symbol!
hum-
The talisman trembled, radiating a golden-red interwoven light, and a scorching righteous energy spread out!
Become!
Moreover, it successfully incorporated Nezha's divine power characteristics!
Su Fan's face lit up with joy as he wiped the sweat from his brow.
Su Fan picked up the exorcism talisman and could clearly feel the powerful energy contained within it. Moreover, the talisman also had a fire-attribute purifying and burning effect.
"Very good!"
Su Fan was overjoyed.
This proves that his approach is feasible!
This means he can create more powerful custom talismans.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Fan tried to draw a protective talisman, this time attempting to draw upon the divine power of Sun Wukong's invincible golden body.
Although the process was difficult, after failing twice, Su Fan finally succeeded on the third attempt and obtained a talisman that emitted a faint golden light.
Su Fan's confidence soared after a series of successes.
Instead of continuing to draw, he turned his attention to several other treasures that he needed to control.
First, there are fragments of the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.
The fragment was only the size of a palm, pale purple in color, and cool to the touch. It was embroidered with incomplete Bagua (Eight Trigrams) patterns.
Su Fan channeled his divine power and slowly poured it into it.
The fragment glowed faintly, and the Bagua pattern on it seemed to come alive, slowly rotating.
A cool yet stable aura flowed into Su Fan's body from the fragment, connecting with his soul.
With a thought, Su Fan caused the fragment to transform into a purple light, which adhered to his chest skin, forming a small, light purple Bagua mark.
Su Fan could sense that the mark was continuously emitting a faint power, protecting his soul.
"Good, that adds an extra layer of protection."
Su Fan nodded in satisfaction.
Next is the Demon-Binding Rope.
Su Fan grasped the pale golden rope and probed it with his divine sense.
The rope has a sophisticated internal structure, covered with tiny golden runes.
Su Fan slowly found the core and carefully used his divine sense to leave an imprint on it.
The process lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
After completing the task, Su Fan felt a connection with the Demon-Binding Rope.
With a slight thought, Su Fan's Demon-Binding Rope flew up automatically like a serpent, winding and weaving through the air, sometimes taut like a spear, sometimes coiled into a circle.
Su Fan tried it out, and after injecting divine power, the rope could extend to a maximum length of ten zhang, and its strength was also enhanced with the injection of divine power.
"It works!"
Su Fan retrieved the Demon-Binding Rope, wrapped it around his left wrist, and it transformed into an inconspicuous golden rope loop.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the silver Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife talisman.
This Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife Talisman is a one-time use, extremely powerful weapon.
Su Fan carefully stored it in his system space. This was a trump card to turn the tide of battle at a critical moment, and it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
After doing all this, Su Fan began his formal cultivation to consolidate his newly achieved sixth-level cultivation.
Meanwhile, Su Fan tried to activate the Haotian Golden Palace Seal to see if he could make any other discoveries.
The seal floats in the air, bathed in the soft glow of the moonlight.
Su Fan channeled his divine power, resonating with the seal.
As expected, Su Fan sensed something else during this research.
Deep within the seal, there seems to be an even higher level of authority sealed away.
Su Fan sensed it and realized that his current level was not high enough, so he couldn't use it yet.
"It seems that to truly unleash the power of the Haotian Golden Palace Seal, I still need to increase my strength!"
Su Fan sighed and said.
Cultivation knows no time.
When Su Fan was awakened by the pre-set reminder array in the cultivation room, it was already three days later.
Su Fan opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly, his sixth-level strength completely solidified.
They also gained a more proficient control over the newly acquired treasures.
As Su Fan stepped out of the training room, he immediately saw staff members approaching him.
"Comrade Su Fan, Elder Mo requests that you go to the command center immediately."
Su Fan nodded and followed the staff to the command center.
The atmosphere inside the command center was serious.
A huge screen displayed a map of all of China, marked with many red dots, mainly concentrated along the eastern coast and several important cities.
Mo Lao, Tang Sanzang, and others were all present, along with several heads of intelligence departments, and their expressions were extremely unpleasant.
"Su Fan, you've arrived." Old Mo gestured for him to sit down. "The situation is not good."
Old Mo glanced at the intelligence chief beside him, who immediately reported to his superior:
"In the past 72 hours, a total of seventeen incidents involving deities have occurred throughout China. Five of these have been confirmed to be related to foreign forces, with the aim of sabotaging critical infrastructure or creating panic. The other twelve are very strange."
The intelligence chief retrieved the data:
"In these incidents, there were similar cases of possessed spirit masters. Their strength suddenly increased dramatically, and then their temperament changed drastically, and they began to attack all living beings around them in a frenzy."
"Furthermore, their bodies undergo varying degrees of mutation, with black spots appearing on their skin and their eyes becoming cloudy and ferocious. When our people fought against these out-of-control Divine Masters, they discovered that their divine power was imbued with an evil aura, making them very difficult to deal with."
Su Fan's eyes narrowed upon hearing this.
Are these events related?
The intelligence chief shook his head after hearing this.
Old Mo also tapped on the table:
"That's the problem. These cases of demonic possession are scattered, and although they seem random, a closer analysis reveals that they all occur around places with a strong aura of evil."
"We suspect that someone is secretly stirring up the evil aura that has accumulated in these places, corrupting the surrounding guardians of the gods."
Ma Tao angrily exclaimed, "It must have been the Western alliance!"
The intelligence chief shook his head after hearing this.
"Not entirely. The overseas infiltrators we captured were completely unaware that the God-Controllings were being corrupted by the evil aura; in fact, several of them had been affected themselves."
"They were just following orders; the Western alliance instructed them to create chaos throughout China to distract us."
Not the Western alliance?
Who could it be?
A blurry image of a Taoist robe holding a wine pot flashed through Su Fan's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.
The figure gave him a mysterious feeling, but not an evil one.
At this moment, Yuan Qingsheng spoke in a deep voice:
"There's another possibility: it could be an extraterrestrial evil god..."
Yuan Qingsheng's speculation is even more unsettling.
Even Tang Sanzang, a deity, had a solemn expression.
This extraterrestrial evil god was no match for Him even in His prime, let alone now that He has little strength left.
Although the power of the incense is slowly restoring His strength, it will take at least ten years for Him to return to his peak state.
If it really is an evil god, they're doomed.
The entire planet Earth will be destroyed.
However, Tang Sanzang thought it was still unlikely.
After all, in that war back then, all the extraterrestrial evil gods were driven out.
"Whatever it is, it must be dealt with as soon as possible!"
Mr. Mo was resolute.
"Master Xuanzang, can your Buddha's light, shining everywhere, purify the evil aura accumulated on the land of China?"
Tang Sanzang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"No, according to this theory, only the power of extreme yang and extreme strength can purify such a strong evil aura."
Upon hearing this, Su Fan suddenly had a thought:
"The Three Lights Divine Water and the exorcism talisman I just drew might be useful. In addition, the pure energy of the Haotian Golden Palace Seal also seems to have a purifying effect on evil auras."
"You can give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Old Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately made arrangements.
"Immediately establish the China 749 Bureau to purify this intense evil atmosphere nationwide."
"Su Fan, Lao Yuan, and Lao Ma, each of you will lead an elite team, carrying the Three Lights Divine Water and exorcism talismans, to the area most severely affected by the incident, to deal with the demonic possession, and to attempt to purify the evil aura!"
"Su Fan, you go to Zhenhai Land on the coast of the East China Sea. Old Yuan, you go to Hansha Valley in the Northern Frontier. Old Ma, you go to the Wanzhangze in the Southwest. Act swiftly and ruthlessly!"
"Yes!" The three accepted the order.
The mission was urgent, so Su Fan only made simple preparations.
He took with him enough specially made talisman paper and ink, one of the three portions of the Three Lights Divine Water, and a ten-person elite God-Controlling Squad provided by the base, and boarded a high-speed aircraft to head straight for Zhenhai Land on the coast of the East China Sea.
The land of Zhenhai is said to be the site of a fierce battle between Chinese gods and sea demons in ancient times, where blood stained thousands of miles and malevolent energy filled the sky.
Soon, the aircraft landed at the edge of Zhenhai Land.
Before even landing, Su Fan sensed an extremely strong evil aura.
