Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree Chapter 146 113: We Need a True Unmatched Genius

Federation Capital, Congress Building.

A top-level federal eting is about to begin.

A man dressed in a white lab coat, with disheveled beard, hurries along, looking down at his watch, when suddenly soone stops him.

The person stopping him is dressed in a sharp suit and greets with a smile: "Chief Mu, long ti no see, I heard that the 'Descent' experint is about to enter the 'investnt return phase'?"

The man in the white robe looks up.

He is the researcher who recently appeared in the high-level eting of the Four Guardian Stars, and he is also the chief in charge of the Ministry of Defense Fourth Research Institute, Mu Xianhe.

Mu Xianhe evaluated the man in front of him, and after confirming that he was one of the patrons of his private studio, cleared his throat and responded with a bright smile:

"Of course, Mr. Chen, as you know, our Fourth Research Institute is famous for its efficiency! Unlike the others!"

The man's embarrassed expression flickered, because Mu Xianhe had mistaken him for soone else.

Yet, he continued with an undiminished smile, "That's great, if you don't mind, I hope we can have dinner together after the eting."

Seeing the evident reluctance on Mu Xianhe's face, the man added, "To discuss the funding for the next project."

Mu Xianhe's eyes lit up, and he reached out for a handshake, "Then let it be tonight, as I have to rush back to the institute at dawn."

"Alright, I'll make arrangents, ensuring Chief Mu's satisfaction..."

The two seed to converse happily as they walked into the conference room, finding their places next to a large round table.

As one by one, the influential figures took their seats, and so projections were made, the atmosphere in the room gradually turned somber.

The eting began.

A middle-aged man in his forties entered the conference room; he wore a well-tailored suit and his gaze was steady, giving an impression of sharpness and authority.

He was a senator widely respected throughout the Federation, and even Ji Jingqiu often saw him on television.

He is the current President of the Federation, Liu Chong.

Liu Chong surveyed the round table to confirm the attendance of all invited forces.

Among today's attendees were the top five dojos of the Federation, the five largest business alliances, and so millennium-old Martial Arts Families, all of the most top-tier forces with Grandmaster level martial prowess, were gathered.

Except the Six Great Families.

Or rather, Liu Chong was the representative elected by the Six Great Families after reaching a certain fair agreent.

"Ladies and gentlen, new ssages have arrived from the frontline of the Heavenly Road three days ago. The forr Master Li Daocheng has now entered the Grandmaster Realm; let us all congratulate Grandmaster Li."

Liu Chong slowly began speaking, his voice not loud but clear and firm, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

The faces of the audience remained unchanged; obviously, they had all received the news already.

The ergence of a Grandmaster was enough to alter so structures within the entire Federation.

"The second matter, the foundation of Martial Arts, the Sixth Limit of Heavenly Person, is expected to fully integrate into the rule system of the Great Universe in five months; congratulations to the Federation Martial Arts for breaking new ground."

The audience nodded slightly, showing more interest in this news compared to the introduction of another competing Grandmaster.

Liu Chong continued, "The third matter, the frontline of the Heavenly Road has experienced a 'collapse of the defense line'; the Federation needs to dispatch reinforcents soon. We will discuss the specific quotas for this later."

"The fourth matter, the intensity of the Western rebellion has increased; due to certain reasons, the Federation does not wish to see large-scale bloodshed at present, please inform certain people that the Federation's patience is limited."

"The fifth matter..."

Each matter concerned the foundation of the Federation, and the audience listened quietly, their thoughts unknown.

Until Liu Chong reached the seventh matter, ntioning that the Federation would intensify efforts to crack down on illegal underground societies in the coming period, he turned to Mu Xianhe sitting not far away, saying:

"Next, Mr. Mu will report to us about the future of the Federation."

Upon hearing the word "future," everyone slightly straightened their spines; a few figures who had descended by projection finally opened their eyes.

Mu Xianhe's expression was solemn, clearly even he had no privilege to be "capricious" in this setting.

He took a deep breath and began, "'Descent' plan has initially been achieved, we have realized controllable, regional collective deploynt! Expected to officially execute by the end of this year!"

This single statent was t with applause from everyone present.

As the applause died down, Mu Xianhe continued reciting from the speech draft ticulously:

"The foundation of the Federation was laid ten thousand years ago. Over these ten thousand years, we have never stopped our exploratory steps, but obstacles at the edge of the Heavenly Road and 'resource scarcity' within the Federation's exploratory areas once led us into a stagnant period of involution."

"Now, an encounter as legendary as the Spirit Ocean from ten thousand years ago is waving at us!"

"Of course, it also heralds a new crisis."

"But as the saying goes, 'a mighty wind arises from the lightest breeze.' The excavation of the Sixth Limit gives us reason to believe this is a signal!"

"Marshal Ji predicted that the third Age of Great Struggle is imminent, an era of flourishing brilliance. This grand age will not lack geniuses. Likewise, what we need is not just any genius."

"We need true geniuses," Mu Xianhe paused, emphasizing, "True, one-of-a-kind geniuses!"

"Only bona fide monster-level Martial Arts prodigies can carve a future for the Federation and take Federation Martial Arts to the next level!"

"In the subsequent 'Descent' program, among the projected Divine Travel, Chains, and Heart Image realms, we can only assure one reserved slot in the hands of everyone present here; the remaining slots will need to be contested for by the Martial Artists themselves."
