Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1465 - 707:

Fang Cheng sat on the throne, raised his hand to press down, signaling the other party to relax.

"After I emerged, how are the situations with the Illuminati and in East Capital?"

Upon hearing the inquiry about serious matters, the Professor promptly composed himself, straightened his back, and reported:

"Rest assured, everything is progressing according to plan."

"The Jinshui Fish Market Headquarters Building is essentially completed, the expansion project of the shelters is also on track, and new members are dispersed across various peripheral industries, acting quite discreetly."

"The Special Search Team seems to have focused its attention on West Mountain recently, while several underground powers in East Capital are in observation periods. Everything is quite calm, with no troubles coming our way."

Fang Cheng nodded slightly and instructed:

"Continue to be low-key, manage our people well, and try to reduce unnecessary outings during this period."

"Understood," the Professor responded promptly.

After explaining the domestic situation, Fang Cheng changed the topic, revealing the true purpose of the summoning:

"How much do you know about Yong’an Island?"

The Professor hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly reacted:

"Is it the island where you are currently vacationing?"

Seeing Fang Cheng nod, the Professor lowered his gaze slightly and quickly searched in his vast mental library.

After pondering for a while, he began narrating:

"Yong’an Island actually has quite a long history. Around two thousand years ago, it was merely an uninhabited desolate island. Ancient texts sporadically recorded some tales about the ’Mermaid’s Tears,’ depicting it as a forbidden place frequented by Sea Demons, with only a few adventurers having ventured there."

"Later, ocean currents in the vicinity changed, and the island was shrouded in dense fog year-round with perilous terrain, becoming a haven for pirates of all sorts."

"During the Qing Dynasty, the court dispatched the Navy to eradicate the pirates on the island, subsequently constructing a port and lighthouse in the sheltered area, marking the official commencement of control over this small island."

"Later, with the rise of the pearl industry and the opening of oceanic routes, the island gradually became a significant trade hub for Western Ocean merchant ships."

At this point, the Professor paused and looked up at Fang Cheng, his tone becoming more solemn:

"However, in our underground world, Yong’an Island is most renowned not for pearls and overseas trade, but for the organization known as the ’Truth and Meditation Joint Practice.’

Fang Cheng’s eyes revealed a slight movement, but he didn’t interrupt, signaling him to continue.

"True Thought Society has profound roots, once with power spanning the entire Southeast Asian sea.

The Professor recalled the old files he had seen and continued:

"Legend has it that each of their Chairmen possessed terrifying Super S-Class Strength. Particularly over a hundred years ago, the third Chairman summoned storms in the East Sea, creating huge waves that forcibly sank several Japanese ironclad ships equipped with heavy artillery, becoming renowned since then."

"However, over the past decade or so, they seemed to have encountered some problems, becoming exceptionally low-key, with fewer and fewer rumors about them in the market."

After analyzing these pieces of information, the Professor showed a hint of concern in his gaze:

"Chairman, did you have a conflict with True Thought Society during your stay on the island?"

"Not at all."

Fang Cheng shook his head and leaned back against the chair:

"Quite the opposite, I have some significant ties with them."

"Six months ago I joined a tour group to the island to participate in a meditation experience event organized by True Thought Society, learning meditation from one of their mentors."

The Professor, upon hearing these words, showed a slight hint of surprise.

With no conflict and even a friendly connection, why did the Chairman suddenly inquire about this?

Fang Cheng didn’t let him guess for long, directly recounting the situation he encountered recently:

"Today, as I was returning to Yong’an Island to prepare for meditation, something unusual occurred."

"I heard an illusionary tide sound and even a woman’s gentle call, how to describe that feeling..."

Fang Cheng paused to choose his words, continuing to describe:

"It’s like a wanderer lost away from home, hearing a mother’s call."

Upon hearing this, the Professor’s expression instantly became serious.

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to adjust his glasses before beginning a professional analysis:

"Chairman, hearing such auditory hallucination usually has two possibilities."

"The first concerns the origin of your own bloodline power."

The Professor’s voice echoed in the spacious hall:

"Many ancient noble families or mutants have powers that often trace back to certain mysterious beings in high-dimensional realms."

"These beings are limited by world rules and cannot appear physically, but can influence descendants through the deep spiritual bond of the bloodline."

"This influence is a double-edged sword. The positive aspect is the enhancement of the host’s abilities, granting various Divine Skills and Superpowers."

"But the negative cost is equally heavy, leading to various hallucinations, distorting one’s perception of reality, even stripping away normal human emotions."

"If one cannot withstand this, it may deteriorate into a bloodline affliction, eventually driving one mad, turning into a mindless monster. Many mutants and noble family descendants must face this trial."

"The ’gentle call’ you mentioned is likely a precursor of high-dimensional beings attempting to assimilate you."

"The second."

The Professor paused briefly, raised two fingers, and continued:

"It might be connected to the ’anchor point’ you initially used to grasp meditation."

"To advance meditation practice to a higher level, one must anchor self-awareness to a concrete target within the spiritual world."

"If during your initial meditation at True Thought Society, you inadvertently chose a powerful spiritual ancient object on the island as an anchor point, this time as you return to the old place, the shortened distance between the two naturally generates strong spiritual resonance."
