The Federal Dynasty had never been a completely technological nation.
The previous emperor was afraid that the cultivators would be difficult to control and that their rise might destroy the stability of the dynasty, so he did not put the plan to develop cultivators on the agenda.
However, Ji Sheng had a completely different idea.
Cultivators could indeed threaten the rule of a dynasty.
However, cultivators could also contribute an unimaginable amount of help to the rise and fall of dynasties and nations!
Just like what the Divination Department did for the Federation Dynasty!
When the firearms arrived.
The cold weapon countries were also unwilling to accept such subversive weapons. As a result, the countries that were the first to accept hot weapons became world powers.
The existence of spiritual energy and cultivators was the same! Only those who had the courage to accept new things were qualified to stand at the top of the world!!
Ji Sheng was never satisfied with the title of a world superpower. His goal was to be the strongest from the beginning!!
Be it technology or cultivation, Ji Sheng had to achieve this goal!
*******
The call was made with Ji Sheng's order.
Hiding deep in the mountains, the secretary of the Divination Department, who lived a carefree life, could not believe that the Divination Department would be activated one day when he received the call!
This world was no longer the world of cultivators…
This was the common sentiment of the few remaining great cultivators after the end of the war.
Even though the great cultivators had the power to summon the wind and rain, they could still have a great impact on modern warfare.
However, the cost of becoming a great cultivator was simply too high…
A cultivator would need at least ten years of cultivation from the beginning of the apprentice's Qi cultivation to the beginning of becoming a true cultivator.
Cultivators who had cultivated for ten years could only use some insignificant spells. Even in ancient times, they could not withstand the bows and arrows made by the dynasty's army and could easily be killed, let alone modern firearms.
After thirty years of cultivation, those who had a certain amount of talent would be able to surpass the limits of ordinary people and reach the level of 'resisting cauldrons' and 'summoning lightning to attack the enemy' to become what everyone called 'true human beings'.
However, it still couldn't resist the crossbow.
In ancient times, the main force of cultivators who could truly contend against the armies of the dynasties were the leaders of the various factions known as 'Grand Cultivators'!
He was also the Earth-rank cultivator that Ji Sheng often mentioned.
Great cultivators at this level had Genuine Qi to protect their bodies, and they could not be pierced by arrows or struck by lightning. Some old monsters, such as an ancient Qi Refinement Warrior called Kuafu, could even run as fast as the rotation of the earth and stars.
Not only that, but grand cultivators could even absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a golden core to lock the essence, thus achieving the goal of longevity.
Although they were not truly immortal, according to the records of the Federation Dynasty, the average lifespan of a grand cultivator was about 900 years. The one with the longest lifespan lived for more than 2,600 years and was still alive and kicking until now. This person was the Sage of Inaction, Li Er.
Even the Federation Dynasty had been able to suppress these monsters for thousands of years because of the heritage left behind by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
However, this did not mean that grand cultivators were invincible.
True Qi was not unlimited. There was a limit to the power a great cultivator could use. If he was hit by a firearm continuously, even a great cultivator would die on the spot.
The real power of a great cultivator was to change the weather. When several great cultivators worked together, they could change the weather of an area. They could summon flying sand and stones, hail and snow. In a war, they were invincible. Even modern armies could not deal with such a hooligan's fighting style.
However, how could one not wet their shoes if they often walked by the river? The most terrifying thing about a technologically powerful country was that they could develop weapons that targeted their opponent's weaknesses. It was difficult to resist the attacks of a grand cultivator, but it was not that difficult to kill a grand cultivator.
Therefore, many great cultivators died in the war…A lot…
Training a grand Cultivator required more than just resources. Talent, luck, inheritance, and many other important factors were also needed. The Federation Dynasty had developed for more than five thousand years, but there were only a few dozen grand Cultivators. After the war, there were only twelve grand Cultivators left.
It was dozens of times rarer than giant pandas!
With the rapid development of science and technology, even though the spiritual energy had also increased, the strategic position of the grand cultivators was still declining…
The grand cultivators who had experienced the war also understood what was most precious. They no longer clamored to be free all day. They received a large allowance from the Federation Dynasty every year and lived in the countryside with the military rank of general. They lived a comfortable life every day.
This was the reason why people could not find the Divination Department. The Divination Department had long been an empty shell. The big shots who supported the Divination Department were all hiding in the countryside. Other than the director of the Divination Department, most of the people who handled affairs in the Divination Department were civil servants sent by the major cultivation forces to earn wages.
Was the Divination Division not the same as the Pensions Division?
Even the Secretary of the Divination Division believed that with the end of the war and the rapid development of technology, the Divination Division was outdated. No matter how glorious the Divination Division was in the past, no matter how powerful the cultivators were in the past…
In the end, it would only be eliminated in the wheel of history. Cultivation might only be reduced to a personal hobby or a relaxation method to prolong life and strengthen the body...
Until he received a call from the palace…
"What did you say? The emperor wants us to participate in the military parade?!”
She held the phone in her hand in disbelief.
The Secretary of the Department of Heavenly Secrets had never expected that the Emperor of the Federation Dynasty, who had always been extremely wary of cultivators, would give such an order one day!
