Li Xingwen was also hesitant. After a moment, he took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to the purple light screen with cupped fists. Then, he left with his men.
As soon as they flew out of the catacombs, Li Xingwen immediately ordered that no one be allowed to enter the catacombs. At the same time, he left quickly with the Martian Colony Governor. Clearly, this matter was too serious. Even though he was a Yuanying cultivator, he still had to convene a meeting to decide on how to deal with this place.
However, before he left, he lowered his head and looked at the pale-faced Wang Baole, who was still trembling from the shock. He narrowed his eyes and pondered quickly. Then, he retracted his gaze and transformed into a long rainbow that disappeared into the distance.
The other Core Formation realm cultivators were also shocked. They immediately contacted their respective factions. At the same time, they didn't dare to stay in the special city any longer. Most of them left and went to the main Martian city to await further instructions from the Federation and their respective factions!
Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the crowd leave. Based on his understanding of the Federation, he could tell that … this matter was basically settled. The Federation wouldn't provoke an unknown powerhouse like "Tian Shuaizi" at this critical juncture!
Therefore, it was highly likely that they would choose to compromise and give up on the Martian Divine Weapon!
"I, Wang Baole, am a man of honor. This time, I have indeed taken something that belongs to the Federation. In the future … I, Tian Shuaizi, will repay you many times over!" Wang Baole coughed and slowly placed his hands behind his back. As he watched the crowd leave, he felt that the name "Tian Shuaizi" suited him very well.
"Tian Shuaizi?" In the main Martian city, Li Xingwen, who had just returned, immediately called for a meeting of the various factions of the Federation. In this meeting, he recounted the process and details of the excavation of the Martian Divine Weapon.
He didn't hide anything. After all, the Martian Colony Governor and the various Core Formation realm cultivators had all witnessed and participated in the excavation. When Li Xingwen said the name "Tian Shuaizi", the various factions in the meeting fell silent.
This was such a serious matter that even Duan Muque had to suspend his seclusion and attend the meeting. When the name 'Tian Shuaizi' was mentioned, everyone in the meeting had ugly expressions on their faces.
There was no doubt that this had happened too suddenly. Most importantly … if even Li Xingwen was unable to shake this mysterious Tian Shuaizi, it meant that this mysterious Tian Shuaizi had the power to destroy the entire Federation.
The Martian Colony Governor suddenly spoke amidst the silence.
"The Martian Weapon has existed for a long time, but nothing has ever happened to it … I suggest that we handle this matter conservatively!"
"How can I allow others to sleep beside my bed? Furthermore, he gave out the benefits so easily. This person is clearly guilty! " The Chen family head of the Five Generation Sky Clan had a cold glint in his eyes as he interrupted the Martian Colony Governor.
"This is the fault of the special regional city's City Lord. The Federation has spent a lot of resources over the years, but the special regional city's City Lord didn't notice anything strange with the Divine Weapon!"
"Now is not the time to find out who is to blame. We have to determine if this person is deliberately mystifying!"
The Martian Colony Governor didn't continue speaking amidst the heated discussion. As for the head senator and the others, they didn't speak either. Everyone was deep in thought. Li Xingwen was getting impatient.
"Are all of you too full of yourselves? Have you forgotten how powerful the Federation is? Deliberately mystifying? Can you afford to gamble? Let me tell you this clearly. According to my judgment, the Tian Shuaizi in the Dark Artifact is the owner of the Divine Weapon. Furthermore, his cultivation level is most likely at the Spirit Immortal realm! Otherwise, it would be impossible for his aura to create such a deterrent effect!
"As for how to deal with this … unless you have a death wish, don't provoke such an existence … that we can't touch. I suggest we deal with it in the same way as we did with the existence on Pluto!" The moment Li Xingwen said that, the cultivators from the various factions who were discussing how to deal with the situation fell silent. Li Xingwen's mention of Pluto had shaken them to the core. In reality, they all seemed to have a lot of suggestions, but they all knew that if Li Xingwen was at his wit's end, the best way to deal with the situation was to abide by his agreement.
Duan Muque sighed softly when he saw that the crowd had fallen silent again. While he was feeling exhausted, his instincts told him that something was amiss. However, the most important thing for him now was to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation level. Furthermore, the Hundred Seedlings Initiative was imminent, and the collaboration with the ancient greenish-bronze sword was about to officially begin. He didn't want to create unnecessary trouble during this process.
Hence, after some deliberation, Duan Muque's eyes shone with determination.
"Let's act according to Senior Li's suggestion. We'll postpone the development of the Martian Divine Armament for now. This matter will be classified as a Rank Two Noble. Within the Martian special regional zone, everyone is to restrain themselves and not offend anyone!"
With the joint decision of Duan Muque and Li Xingwen, the matter regarding the Martian Divine Armament was considered to have come to an end. They would postpone the development of the Martian Divine Armament. At the same time, they would announce to the public that there was another layer of barrier beneath the catacombs' barrier. Hence, the Federation still needed time to study and deduce the barrier. This would dispel the public's doubts.
At the same time, due to the rich life force that had appeared in the Martian special district, this matter was not kept a secret. Hence, news of it quickly spread. Many cultivators from the main cities came to investigate after finding out about it. When they sensed the life force in this place, they were all shocked. Many of them chose to settle down and cultivate here.
It was obvious that there were many benefits to cultivating in such a place filled with vitality. This matter also attracted the attention of many media outlets. Hence, in an instant, the entire Federation public knew about the vitality in the Martian special regional zone.
Some cultivators who had been injured in their early years also heard the news and chose to recuperate there. Hence, in less than half a month, the popularity of the Martian special regional zone rose steadily!
Kim Do-myung played the most important role in this. He could be said to be the first person to discover this business opportunity. Hence, he quickly contacted Kongdao and the others. He even came up with a plan to create a holy land for recuperation and cultivation on Mars. He approached Wang Baole.
Even though Wang Baole's heart ached, he couldn't reject this proposal. He also understood that with the Federation's decision to postpone the development of the Divine Armament, they had given up on the special regional zone to a certain extent. In the future, the value of the special regional zone would continue to decline. At the same time, there would be no more resources to invest in it. Hence, in times like this, it was even more important to make the special regional zone unique. Only then would it be able to survive and increase its value.
Hence, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Kim Do-myung's plan. Hence, there was a series of subsequent publicity. At the same time, the price of land in the Martian special regional zone rose steadily. It wasn't far from the price of every inch of land.
"Just increasing the price of land isn't enough. After all, there are still many people who can't afford it. We need to build hotels. Build a large number of hotels!" Wang Baole also put forward his own point of view, perfecting Kim Do-myung's plan. They wanted to turn the Martian special regional zone into a holy land for tourism, in addition to recuperation and cultivation!
Kim Do-myung immediately perked up and started to construct the plan in high spirits. As for Wang Baole, although he was still pained, this so-called vitality consumed the power of the Dark Artifact. The good thing was that the consumption rate wasn't high, and it was controllable.
However, he also understood that once the special regional zone became a holy land for recuperation and cultivation, the special regional zone itself would be able to retain a large portion of the tax revenue. To a certain extent, after breaking even, there would still be a lot left.
However, this kind of benefit was long-term. Wang Baole longed for the Dark Artifact to be repaired as soon as possible. Especially when he thought about the explosive power of the Dark Artifact after it was repaired, his heart burned with passion.
"I need a large amount of resources!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. Although the Federation had reached a consensus to temporarily postpone the development of the Martian Divine Weapon, Wang Baole still felt uneasy. He knew the people in the Federation all too well. He felt that unless the deterrence was always there and constantly increased, there would be a second development sooner or later!
"However, it should be fine in the short term." At this thought, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief. While he urgently needed resources to repair the Dark Artifact, he also understood that the root of all this was that he was too weak.
If he were a Yuanying cultivator like Li Xingwen, then even if he said that he was the owner of the Dark Artifact, no one would dare to challenge him.
"I still have to cultivate!" Wang Baole gritted his teeth and went into seclusion again, striving to break through to the mid-Core Formation Realm as soon as possible. During this period of seclusion, Kim Do-myung's talent for business was fully displayed.
The Martian special regional zone was completely popular in the Federation. A large number of cultivators and celebrities filmed advertisements that were broadcasted by all the media in the Federation. The advertisements were varied, and the special regional zone was beautifully filmed.
He even collaborated with the Three Moon Group to create the so-called Martian Tourism Plan, which greatly reduced the cost of travel. As a result, the number of airships coming to Mars from Earth and other planets increased exponentially every day.
Lin Tianhao also cooperated with Kim Do-myung to handle the reception work. As for Kongdao, he was in charge of security, making the security of the special regional zone much better than before. Just like that, with everyone's hard work, the Martian special regional zone's name resounded again and again. In a short span of two months, it became a hot topic in the entire Federation.
If another major event hadn't appeared, the special regional zone's popularity would have continued to be bombarded by Kim Do-myung. However, the new event was too big, so much so that the popularity of the special regional zone was suppressed …
In July of the 45th year of the Spirit Inception Era … Federation President Duan Muque was promoted to Yuanying!
