Chapter 3: Seeking Facing Facing Cang Luo

More than two thousand years ago, the mighty ones of the Yuanwu Continent discovered an extremely tiny living creature within the human body.

This creature is ubiquitous within the human body, infinite in number, and so small it cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Whether martial artists or ordinary people, even within the bodies of demonic beasts and plants, this living creature exists.

The mighty ones who discovered this creature named it 'Essence Origin'; if Facing Facing Cang Luo were to understand it slightly later, he would know that 'Essence Origin' is actually just 'cells'.

Yuan Force causes cells to split and regenerate, thereby providing the human body with immense energy; this is the source of a martial artist's power.

Humans of the Yuanwu Continent have been nourished by Yuan Force for over two thousand years; their bodies have developed 'drug tolerance', even 'drug resistance', so cells have become somewhat indifferent to the reaction of Yuan Force.

But Facing Facing Cang Luo is an Earthling; Earthlings have not developed tolerance to Yuan Force, so cells react so crazily upon first contact with Yuan Force, with a splitting and regeneration speed more than ten times that of ordinary martial artists on the Yuanwu Continent.

Xuan Qiankun nodded, agreeing with his junior brother Xiong Dingtian's view, then fell into deep thought.

If I could rule Earth, would it not mean I could cultivate a batch of martial artists in a short time?

The more Xuan Qiankun thought, the more excited he became; he glanced at Facing Facing Cang Luo, who had fainted on the ground, and said to Xuan Hong, "Wait until he wakes, then observe him again. Let him cultivate in the Outer Sect; see how far an Earthling can cultivate."

"Yes." Xuan Hong accepted the order, lifted Facing Facing Cang Luo through the air, and left the council hall.

Earth, the west coast of North America.

A mysterious base known as Area 51; this base is world-famous.

Rumors say it is a nuclear weapons research institute of a certain country; other rumors say it holds aliens...

In fact, Area 51 is the headquarters of a special department established by a certain country during the Second World War.

Its duty is to research all supernatural phenomena and ultra-modern technologies, such as unidentified flying objects, alien life, genetic technology, enhanced humans, superpowers, alternate dimensions, other worlds, multiverses, and so on.

It was renamed 'Eden' only after the successful moon landing in 1969; currently, it is led by Director John Shi Misi.

At this moment, Director Shi Misi was repeatedly watching a video captured by Satellite 51.

On the video, a Chinese youth in his early twenties was playing with a mobile phone on a balcony; this youth was Facing Facing Cang Luo, summoned to the Yuanwu Continent, looking infinitely leisurely.

Just a dozen seconds later, a white light sphere suddenly appeared before Facing Facing Cang Luo, completely enveloping him.

The next second, the white light sphere carried him away, vanishing without a trace, disappearing completely from Earth.

Eden calls this white light sphere a 'Spherical Space'.

Spherical Spaces appear randomly on Earth, with diameters ranging from 30cm to 150cm; they appear and vanish instantly, cutting away and transporting everything they envelop.

The cut-off portions disappear completely from Earth; nations have conducted global carpet searches based on the debris of cut objects, yet found not a single clue.

Some believe the reason they cannot be found on Earth is that they were transported by the Spherical Space to another world.

Therefore, Spherical Spaces are classified as supernatural phenomena by nations, which have poured massive funds into research, attempting to find the entrance to another world.

The Spherical Space that appeared today is the only one in five years to transport a human, and nations also discovered that the mobile phone that disappeared with Facing Facing Cang Luo can still connect to the Earth's internet.

Thus, Facing Facing Cang Luo and this mobile phone have become the sole breakthrough to the other world; nations are frantically sending messages and making calls to this mobile phone.

All nations attempt to obtain first-hand data from the other world, but Facing Facing Cang Luo's mobile phone has been offline ever since answering one call.

Director Shi Misi turned off the video and said to his subordinate, "Has the target replied to the message yet?"

"No."

He asked again, "Has Satellite 51 been repaired?"

Satellite 51 is Eden's most advanced strategic satellite; it can monitor any target exposed outside buildings on Earth in real time, and it possesses an extremely powerful function.

Space-based laser weapon system!

Although the space-based laser weapon system cannot conduct ground attacks, it can attack enemy satellites, used for physically destroying enemy communication systems during wartime.

The subordinate hesitated, "No... it seems to have vanished?!"

"Vanished? Was it destroyed?" Shi Misi was stunned, then angrily shouted, "Could this be the doing of Feng Lin Huo Shan?"

In Shi Misi's mind, only a few mysterious organizations on Earth, such as China's special department 'Feng Lin Huo Shan', possessed the strength to destroy Eden's satellites.

Among these, Feng Lin Huo Shan is the most likely, since this Spherical Space appeared within China's borders and transported away a Chinese youth.

After a long silence, Shi Misi ordered, "Send someone to contact the target's parents..."

Earth, China, Feng Lin Huo Shan headquarters.

"Minister, the Chinese citizen who disappeared is named Facing Facing Cang Luo, male, 22 years old; his parents are migrant workers, and he has a younger sister currently in high school.

Facing Facing Cang Luo graduated from a third-rate university last year and went to work at a group company, but unexpectedly met his recently broken-up ex-girlfriend, who had become the secretary to the young chairman.

Then some things happened, which dealt him a heavy blow; as a result, he resigned and returned home to remain unemployed."

Feng Lin Huo Shan's leader, Li Weiguo, nodded and said, "Understood. Have you made contact with him?"

"No. He suddenly came online for a few seconds just now, but as soon as we tried to call, he hung up.

Based on our judgment from previous calls, he may currently be in an environment beyond his control, so it is inconvenient for him to answer the phone."

Li Weiguo thought for a moment and commanded, "You must contact Facing Facing Cang Luo before other factions and obtain first-hand data from the other world.

Additionally, closely monitor organizations like Eden and the Izumo Society; they may try to force him into cooperation through Facing Facing Cang Luo's family. Immediately send people to escort Facing Facing Cang Luo's family to the Imperial Capital for protection."

"Yes!"

China, the city of Hai in the Demon Capital.

A skyscraper whose top floor has been converted into a private gymnasium.

At this moment, a handsome youth wearing a taekwondo uniform was punching a sandbag; sweat soaked his clothes, revealing his incredibly coordinated physique and solid muscles.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

Punch after punch struck the sandbag; finally, the sandbag could no longer bear it and burst open; the youth stopped his practice and rested on the spot.

At this time, a door behind the youth opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a butler walked out.

Gently closing the door, the butler handed a tablet computer to the resting youth and respectfully said, "Young master, the news has arrived."

"Oh, really?" The youth's voice was firm yet gentle; he added, "Do they know?"

"Not yet, but it will be within a day or two." The butler replied respectfully; he knew that 'they' referred to several promising Chinese youths who also came from wealthy families.

"Hmm."

The youth held a tablet computer with both hands wearing boxing gloves, and saw that the screen displayed Facing Facing Cang Luo's information, along with the full account of today's "Spherical Space" incident.

After a long while, the youth set down the tablet, rose to his feet, shook his hands, and the two boxing gloves flew off; immediately, he burst into laughter, utterly exhilarated.

The butler looked at the youth before him, feeling immense pride in his heart; he had forgotten how many years it had been since he last saw the young master smile so happily.

The reason lay in the fact that this world had restricted the young master's development, leaving his talents and ambitions with nowhere to be applied.

His young master was named Liu Tianxing, born into a wealthy and powerful family, possessing resources that were inexhaustible.

At fourteen, he entered Huada, the top academy in Huaxia, and left school after completing all required courses in two years.

He disdained studying abroad, for Liu Tianxing had discovered something far more important to do.

Human lifespan is limited!

Therefore, Liu Tianxing visited every location across the nation related to martial arts and cultivation.

Wudang, Shaolin, Miaojiang... seeking a method to transcend the limits of human life.

Unfortunately, after several years, aside from becoming physically stronger, more agile in reaction, and mastering a host of fighting techniques, he had gained nothing.

Liu Tianxing also utilized his family's resources to establish a research institute.

It researched how to break through human limits using biotechnology, as well as organ regeneration technology, head-transplant technology, memory transplantation technology, and so on; unfortunately, there were no significant results.

In the end, he had to admit a fact.

He was merely an ordinary mortal; after a hundred years, death would inevitably come!

Until five years ago, when Liu Tianxing accidentally learned of the Spherical Space incident and speculated that another world existed, hope was rekindled...

On a certain island nation to the east of Asia, the headquarters of the Izumo Society.

"Hai! Your Majesty, I know what to do."

After ending the call, Liu Sheng Xiong Yi, the head of the Izumo Society, clapped his hands and shouted, "Someone come!"

The moment the words fell, a masked figure in black combat attire suddenly appeared before Liu Sheng Xiong Yi and knelt on one knee.

This masked figure's attire had a specific designation: ninja, typically appearing only in films, television dramas, and anime.

The ninja capable of appearing here were elite warriors of the special department led by Liu Sheng Xiong Yi, the "Izumo Society."

They stood alongside special organizations such as Eden, Feng Lin Huo Shan, the Holy Crusade, the Tsar's Judgment Court, the Royal Knights, and Paradise Island; and the heads of these organizations were also at this moment monitoring Facing Facing Cang Luo's transmigration.

Liu Sheng Xiong Yi looked at the ninja before him and commanded, "Within today, bring Facing Facing Cang Luo's family here, no matter what methods you use."

"Hai!"
