Chapter 22
C22 – The People Who Complained
“After more than two weeks, Myriad Medical Group’s shares have taken yet another hit!”
“To date, the share price of the largest pharmaceutical company, Myriad Medical Group, has plummeted by sixty-five percent from its peak, with over one hundred billion dollars in capital gone up in smoke!”
“Jiang Que, a pharmaceutical industry disruptor!”
“The establishment of thousands of Cultivation Method Research Institutes has turned out to be laughable! None of their researchers hold a candle to Jiang Que!”
“Jiang Que is the original creator of this cultivation method and the sole trailblazer!”
As the pharmaceutical industry faced a slump and public morale was low, news media across the Milky Way were reveling in a frenzy.
Major news websites continuously updated their front-page headlines, each one garnering a high click-through rate.
“Damn it!”
“I had a hunch that these Cultivation Method Research Institutes wouldn’t be able to roll out new cultivation methods, and my premonition has actually come true.”
“From this moment forward, I will refer to Jiang Que as Almighty Mr. Jiang! He surpasses the collective expertise of thousands of Cultivation Method Research Institutes. His innate gift for devising cultivation methods is unparalleled!”
“In the realm of cultivation, Jiang Que has truly accomplished the unthinkable. It’s astounding that thousands of Cultivation Method Research Institutes, despite pouring in billions, have failed to produce any new cultivation methods!”
The audience count in Jiang Que’s live stream skyrocketed to the billions within a short span of time.
People everywhere voiced their complaints and ridiculed the ineptitude of the Cultivation Method Research Institutes.
“I’ve already advanced to Spirit Release Stage Level 1, but my progress has stalled ever since. Is it possible that I can only ascend to Spirit Release Stage Level 2 by acquiring the refined version of the Chaos Spell?”
“You reached Spirit Release Stage Level 1 so swiftly? You’re a prodigy! You’re fortunate not to have been lured by the hefty salaries of the Cultivation Method Research Institutes.”
“Many talented individuals who joined the Cultivation Method Research Institutes have suffered irreparable harm to their meridians and Qi Sea.”
“No amount of financial compensation can make up for the damage they’ve endured. Cultivators who break through to Spirit Release Stage Level 1 can see their lifespan increase by up to one hundred and twenty years. Who knows, perhaps breaking through to Spirit Release Stage Level 9 or beyond could add another one hundred and twenty years to their lives.”
“Do you really believe you can advance to Spirit Release Stage Level 9? That’s wishful thinking. What’s crucial at the moment is figuring out how we can acquire the enhanced Chaos Spell.”
“Jiang Que won’t just jot down the enhanced Chaos Spell. Our only hope lies with the Flame Mountain Tribe. Once they’ve reached Spirit Release Stage Level 1, Jiang Que may decide to unveil the enhanced Chaos Spell.”
“Yet, there’s a great deal of uncertainty surrounding this issue.”
“Firstly, we need to understand Jiang Que’s intentions.”
“He may only wish to release the original Chaos Spell, enabling the Flame Mountain Tribe’s clansmen to reach Spirit Release Stage Level 1 and defend themselves. It’s unlikely he’ll share all his cultivation methods, as that could undermine his authority.”
“Moreover, we don’t know if the clansmen’s newfound power to slay ferocious beasts on their own will affect their reverence for Jiang Que.”
“Even though the High Priest has begun to sanctify Jiang Que, the clansmen could grow conceited as their power surges.”
“If the tribe’s respect for Jiang Que diminishes with their increased strength, he may reconsider sharing the enhanced Chaos Spell, even if he initially intended to.”
“This scenario is not beyond the realm of possibility.”
“Therefore, if we aim to master the enhanced Chaos Spell, we should hope that Jiang Que is willing to impart it to the Flame Mountain Tribe, and that the clansmen don’t provoke his ire!”
Everyone let out a collective sigh.
The Cultivation Method Research Institute was no longer a viable option.
To reach Spirit Release Stage Level 2, their best bet was that Jiang Que would be generous enough to share the enhanced Chaos Spell with the Flame Mountain Tribe.
That was the only way they could possibly learn it.
But the situation was fraught with uncertainties.
Ultimately, whether they could access the enhanced Chaos Spell was a matter of luck.
Before long, someone proposed a bold strategy.
“What if we extract Jiang Que from the Exile Planet, have him disclose the enhanced Chaos Spell, and focus solely on developing new cultivation methods?”
“The concept does seem workable!”
“Absolutely not! The Exile Planet is the federation’s most impregnable prison. Not a single prisoner has escaped in thousands of years.”
The existence of the Exile Planet has sparked a massive debate. The most contentious issue is that the descendants of major criminals are also stripped of all their human rights.
At the time, the entire federation was embroiled in arguments over this issue. Ultimately, they decided to maintain the policy.
The reason is that the Exile Planet truly is the ultimate prison. No prisoner can escape, and the conditions for survival are incredibly harsh. For serious offenders, being confined on the Exile Planet is the severest punishment possible since the abolition of the death penalty.
If the descendants of these criminals weren’t stripped of their rights, the federal government would be responsible for extracting them from the planet, which would require a significant expenditure of funds.
What would Jiang Que think if he knew that he had been unjustly deprived of his rights for over a decade?
And what if he were aware that billions of people were spying on him daily, stealthily mastering the cultivation method he invented without his consent?
He is the originator of this cultivation method, and the technique he developed is nothing short of miraculous. It’s possible he could even devise a method to control others’ minds.
Furthermore, he’s the grandson of Jiang Wudi. With numerous allies of Jiang Wudi hidden in various locations, the potential release of Jiang Que could lead to dire consequences.
Given Jiang Que’s personality, intellect, talent, and ambition, his release would likely cause an unpredictable turmoil for all of humanity.
Indeed, Jiang Que is highly ambitious. If set free, he certainly wouldn’t be content to simply produce cultivation methods for mankind.
This novel proposition initially rekindled hope among the masses.
However, it wasn’t long before people started to challenge this perspective.
Others even suggested alternative approaches.
But the general public’s insight is limited. Even among the many intelligent individuals, few can conceive of a more viable solution.
While the populace aired their grievances, the wealthy and influential were preoccupied with entirely different considerations.
