Chapter 231 - The Situation in Western Australia (I)
Night fell.
Chen Yiming walked out of the guest house and scanned his surroundings.
As a place to receive VIPs, the guest house was well-guarded. Many soldiers stood quietly like statues at their posts.
“Strength is the foundation for everything. It’s time to go to the otherworld to cultivate,” Chen Yiming thought to himself.
The speed at which he could accumulate Skill Points in the otherworld was much higher than on the blue planet. However, he had been tied down by too many things recently, and now, he had finally settled everything.
He took one last look at the brightly lit Jiangnan City and quickly disappeared into the night.
However, after leaving Jiangnan City, Chen Yiming didn’t head straight to the space-travel passage in the catacombs. Instead, he returned to the Myriad Phenomena Sect.
Before he planned to secretly head to the otherworld to cultivate, the head of the inner court, Zhou Xuesheng, had informed Chen Yiming over the phone of the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s decision to allow him access to all the concept diagrams across the different inner courts.
In other words, when the Myriad Phenomena Sect saw that the security bureau had started to rope in their genius disciple, coupled with the fact that Chen Yiming had displayed a high level of control over his internal force in public, many of the inner court heads could no longer sit still.
After some discussion, they contacted the sect master through special channels and decided to break the rules for Chen Yiming.
This would allow him to obtain the qualifications to inherit the position of the sect master.
“I just want to cultivate quietly by myself.”
Chen Yiming sighed in front of the mountain gate.
Sometimes, it was not entirely a good thing to develop too quickly. In order to put on a normal appearance, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and waste a little more time.
When Chen Yiming stepped into the sect, all the inner court heads quickly appeared.
Without the sect master around, the court heads could only use this method to express how highly the Myriad Phenomena Sect valued him.
Chen Yiming patiently got introduced to each of the inner court heads one by one and received a special token from Zhou Xuesheng.
With this token, he would not be restricted from entering any of the inner courts.
He did not sleep the entire night.
Chen Yiming wandered around the libraries of the inner courts, showing his thirst to learn the complete cultivation technique.
This made the heads of the various inner courts heave sighs of relief. The matter of stabilizing their genius disciple had suddenly become the top priority for the Myriad Phenomena Sect. It would be best if he could cultivate in seclusion on the mountain for a long time and reach the level of the sect master.
…
At dawn, Chen Yiming descended the mountain and arrived at the space-travel passage in the catacombs again.
The catacombs were empty, leaving behind only the tunnels that the giant steel-spear spiders had dug out. There were no signs that the spider emperors had returned.
Chen Yiming only paused for a moment before stepping into the space-travel passage.
With a change in space, he stepped into the otherworld for the second time.
It was also daytime in the otherworld. The forest not far away was quiet, and the wide lake was also peaceful.
Everything was not much different from the last time he came in.
Chen Yiming was secretly delighted. This was the best situation.
This was because he did not have any desire to explore the otherworld. The otherworld was equivalent to a secret realm for his cultivation, which allowed him to accumulate Skill Points faster.
Now, no matter how dangerous the otherworld was, there was a space-travel passage right behind him. If he realized that something was amiss during his cultivation, he could retreat at any time.
With this thought, Chen Yiming started cultivating on the spot.
Time passed very quickly. Unknowingly, he had been immersed in his cultivation and had lost track of time. When he was hungry, he would eat the dried mutant beast meat he had prepared in advance to replenish his energy.
If he finished the dried mutant beast meat, he could still return via the space-travel passage and hunt mutant beasts in the wilderness to replenish his food supply.
…
A week later, at the military port, Xie Jimin walked out of the helicopter. The members of the special operations unit had already gathered and were waiting.
Without any idle chatter, everyone went straight to a meeting room in the military port.
The contents of the confidential documents had already been entered into the computer in advance. This place was connected to an internal network, so there was no possibility of any information being leaked.
Soon, the projector presented the content on the screen.
“The president of Western Australia roared at a meeting: What exactly are you guys doing after a week? I don’t want to hear any more bad news. I’ll give you another week at most. If there are no better results, all of you will enter the otherworld and deal with it personally…”
In the video, not only was the president of Western Australia red in the face, but he also threw the microphone to the ground at the end.
The meeting room was silent. The senior officials of Western Australia had solemn expressions on their faces. No one could give any concrete suggestions.
Xie Jimin tapped the pointer lightly and immediately played the next video.
“A Western Australian officer explained to a senior Western Australian officer: Our strategic missile forces have already gathered around Sydney City, and the hydrogen bombs provided by the Sam Nation are already on their way.
Leader, don’t worry. We will definitely not let the disaster there spread to the Western Australia.”
In addition, this video also captured the situation of the Western Australia’s strategic missile forces.
Hundreds of missile trucks were parked in a large area. These missile trucks were much longer than normal, and there were more than 10 tires on both sides.
Western Australia itself did not have nuclear weapons, but with the support of Sam Nation, it had the ability to launch a nuclear attack.
Xie Jimin tapped the pointer again and the third video played.
The situation in Sydney City appeared on the screen. The shops in the bustling shopping center were all closed, and most of the houses in the residential area were empty. The farmers’ market was empty, with only the remnants of vegetables and fruits left behind.

Xie Jimin tapped the pointer again and the fourth video played.
“Why did you raise the price? Die!”
A black man roared angrily. Behind him was a group of black people who were shooting at the supermarket with submachine guns.
The supermarket was in a mess, and there were bullet holes left behind everywhere. The manager had long disappeared, and the employees were all looking for somewhere to hide.
Next, it was a scene of these people transporting the supermarket’s goods away. They did not pay for any of it and just took it directly.
There was also a description below that indicated that the location in the video was the central city of Western Australia, Adelaide City.
Xie Jimin clicked on the pointer one last time and the fifth video played.
“Drive faster. Push the accelerator to the floor. The mutant beasts are really going to catch up.”
A white man reminded his companion who was driving as he risked his life to film the scene. He held a camera in his hand and aimed it at the mutant beasts running behind the off-road vehicle.
Then, the white man turned the camera around.
They were not the only vehicles in the wilderness. Within a range of one kilometer, dozens of off-road vehicles, camper vans, sedans, and trucks were moving together.
Everyone’s route was basically the same, and they were all heading west.
In the end, the white man’s car was hit violently. Curses could be heard from the recording, and the camera suddenly went black.
The five videos were all played.
All these videos reflected the terrible situation in Western Australia, and conveyed the tension of a storm brewing.
“Everyone, let’s analyze how we should deal with the problem of Western Australia that might spread…” Xie Jimin put down his pen and said seriously.
Once Western Australia could no longer hold back the chaos, the countries across the sea would be affected next, and the Daxia Kingdom was one of them.
Soon, every special operations team member expressed their opinions.
Most of the team members felt that they needed to send out special operations teams to enter the space-travel passage where the problem had occurred in Western Australia. They wanted to know the details of the situation so that the Daxia Kingdom could come up with a concrete plan to deal with the situation.
