And the group he led was naturally the elite warriors of the Hidden Dragon Team.

Compared to the Hurricane Team of the Hurricane Bureau, their combat power was indeed far superior.

After all, no matter how elite the Hurricane Team is, they are still just ordinary people.

Although the warriors of the Hidden Dragon Team had not awakened the Dark Energy, they usually consumed the Sun Essence provided by the Star Alliance, which had long enhanced their physical constitution beyond that of ordinary people.

In addition to the special weapons equipped and the various Spirit Binding Scrolls they held.

Overall, their combat power was still very strong, capable of dealing with most Level 1 Species.

Even against Second Level Species, they had no shortage of combat potential thanks to their proficient battle experience and teamwork.

At least, everyone present had records of confronting them.

Now, Ye Yunxiu could sense Dark Energy Fluctuation from them.

This meant that these guys had all initiated Constitution Enhancement.

Observing their appearance, he could faintly see dust and dirt on their clothes, and their aura was somewhat disordered.

It wasn't hard to deduce that they might have encountered a battle on their way here.

"Did you encounter an Alien Species?"

Ye Yunxiu asked aloud.

Chang Hai was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but quickly responded, nodding:

"Yes, on the way here, by a small lake, we encountered a large, fire-breathing frog, which was undoubtedly an Alien Species."

"Oh? How strong was it? Was there any damage?"

"Not really, that creature could breathe fire, but its defense wasn't great. We took it out from a distance using Blast Bombs, and it didn't take too long."

"As long as no one was injured."

Ye Yunxiu was relieved to hear that.

He had met Chang Hai a few times before, and they were quite familiar with each other, so the conversation wasn't awkward.

"Since you've arrived, I can leave now. The organization sent me here primarily to investigate that mountain's specific situation. I suspect that the electronic equipment malfunction that occurred outside is not due to the mist but the mountain itself."

Chang Hai nodded and said:

"Yes, before I came, colleagues from the research department had already conducted tests on the mist, and it was similar to the mist we usually see with no harmful properties."

"So it seems that the problem indeed lies with the mountain."

Ye Yunxiu looked towards the distant peaks with a serious expression.

"Hopefully, nothing high-level emerges from there, otherwise our plans might be affected..."

After speaking, he bid farewell to Chang Hai and the others.

Then he summoned his Flying Sword and soared towards the peaks.

On the ground, Chang Hai and the others watched this scene, showing expressions of longing.

It was experiencing the power of the Extraordinary that made them yearn even more.

They naturally wanted to possess the power to Control Dark Energy like the others.

The Abnormality Department had also brought this up with the Star Alliance.

However, after learning that becoming an Awakener meant being bound by contracts within the organization, they dropped the idea.

The so-called contract involved the Star Alliance's vow on one hand and the addition to the system's gang member list on the other.

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't directly tell them about the system, so he used a different explanation.

After all, as the Star Lord, he could directly sense all gang members and even Instant Teleport to their side at any time.

And this was something the Abnormality Department could not possibly accept.

Fortunately, with Zhang Xiaoman's return from the Divine Ancient Continent, the emergence of Cultivation Techniques gave ordinary people more opportunities to become Awakeners.

Chang Hai and the others were, of course, well-aware of this.

This also gave them hope for the future, and the Star Alliance's current plan with the Abnormality Department was related to these Cultivators.

Ye Yunxiu, as the second-in-command of Dragon Sleep Mountain, also yearned for the pursuit of Cultivating Immortality, just like his grandfather Ye Cang.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have abandoned everything to return to Dragon Sleep Mountain and follow Mr. Ye in Cultivation.

Initially, after awakening Dark Energy, he could only simulate Cultivator's Techniques using Dark Energy, comforting himself like Ye Cang and Pei Laoliu.

However, ever since Zhang Xiaoman brought back those genuine Cultivator's Techniques, he realized he hadn't taken the wrong path.

The so-called Cultivator is essentially akin to a Dark Spirit.

The principle of energy usage is the same, with differences only in application and terminology.

This revelation delighted both members of the Ye Family.

They immediately started practicing those techniques, one of which was the Wind Control Technique he used to disperse the mist earlier.

Finding the Immortal Path they had long pursued was the best news for the Ye family.

And now, as the Great Fusion intensifies, certain things can no longer be kept hidden and need to be guided to smoothly transition through this period.

Actually, the Star Alliance and the Abnormality Department's initial plan was never to conceal all the information, as that was unrealistic.

After all, the Great Fusion was bound to happen, and the Alien Species would eventually appear before the public.

As long as people weren't blind, they would be aware of the existence of Extraordinary Powers in the world.

What they needed to do was simply buy time.

To allow people to transition smoothly into this Extraordinary World.

Rather than plunging into it like a roller coaster ride.

The Abnormality Department had always done well in this regard.

Using subtle methods, they allowed people to gradually learn about the concept of Extraordinary, without revealing its true existence.

For example, guiding popular topics on the internet, presenting mystical content to the public, and encouraging discussions.

And, analyzing Mutant Beasts scientifically to understand their existence, which was crucial for the future appearance of Alien Species.

With prior knowledge of the situation, even when people became truly aware of the existence of monsters, they wouldn't be completely unprepared.

In any case, with the emergence of this great mountain, many plans had to be accelerated.

And Cultivators were the first step in the entire process.

At this moment, Ye Yunxiu had already flown into the mountains.

Upon arriving, his first reaction was one of astonishment.

"Such dense Spiritual Energy!"

He widened his eyes and looked around.

In the perception of the Spirit Detection Technique, the flow of Dark Energy nearby was significantly faster than outside.

If one could cultivate here, the speed would surely improve.

Of course, that's only because he hadn't been to the Divine Ancient Continent; if Pei Laoliu were here, he would certainly ridicule him.

Is that it?

If you visit Tianyuan Mountain, you'd know what abundant Spiritual Energy truly means.

This place, in comparison, would be like a Great Witch meeting a real one.

Ye Yunxiu surveyed his surroundings.

The nearby vegetation was lush, misty, and there were many unfamiliar plants and animals.

It felt like stepping into an Avatar-like alien world, everything was so foreign.

"There doesn't seem to be any anomaly with the mountain itself... Could it be a magnetic field issue...?"

He came here also to investigate the reason for electronic equipment malfunction.

But so far, he hadn't found any issues related to Dark Energy.

Ye Yunxiu stepped on his Flying Sword again, wandering around the area, but didn't find any particularly noteworthy places.

Finally, upon reaching the mountaintop, he made an unexpected discovery.

There was actually a palace here.

"A palace? Could there really be inhabitants here?"

As if discovering a new continent, Ye Yunxiu immediately found a target and cautiously approached on his Flying Sword.
