Celeste Grant looked at them and asked, "Sirs, what do you think of this tea?"

The leader nodded. "Excellent tea... It has a rich Clear Spirit Aura and can even heal hidden injuries. It doesn’t feel like something that could come from this world."

’As expected of a high-ranking official.’

’He could tell all that from just one sip.’

Celeste Grant nodded slightly.

"To be honest, it is indeed not a product of this world."

Hearing this, looks of astonishment appeared on the faces of everyone present. Fortunately, these were all people who had seen a great deal, so they recovered in an instant.

One of them spoke up, "Please, do explain."

Celeste Grant nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over them as she lifted her eyes. She then pointed to the tea in their hands and said, "This is called Spiritual Enlightenment Tea. It comes from a place abundant with Spiritual Energy."

’Spiritual Energy?’

’Does our world even have such a thing? They weren’t unfamiliar with the term "Spiritual Energy." It was just that such a thing only existed in myths and legends.’

’They must have misunderstood. Surely the Spiritual Energy this Comrade Grant was talking about was different from what they imagined.’

At that moment, Celeste Grant spoke. "The reason a single sip of this Spiritual Enlightenment Tea can heal an ordinary person’s hidden injuries is that these aren’t ordinary tea leaves. They’re picked from a Spiritual Enlightenment Tea tree that is over eight hundred years old and then processed using a special technique."

"Eight hundred years?"

’It’s real!’

’A tea tree that not only grows in a place teeming with Spiritual Energy, but has also been growing for eight hundred years.’

Celeste Grant looked at them and said softly, "You’ve probably guessed by now. This doesn’t belong to our world. It comes from the Cultivation World."

"What?"

"The Cultivation World."

The moment the words "The Cultivation World" were spoken.

The expression on everyone’s face changed. Even the hand of the elderly leader, who had been calm the entire time, froze.

"Young lady, do you realize what you’re saying?"

Celeste Grant nodded slightly.

"I do. I can take full responsibility for every word I’ve said. You are all the esteemed leaders and guardians of our people. I have no reason to lie to you."

"You’re here today because you’ve surely learned about the effects of my Elixir Pill. Yes, it can regrow severed limbs. As long as a gravely injured person is still breathing, they can make a full recovery."

’That’s right! That was the very reason they had come.’

But at this moment, they suddenly felt that today’s conversation would be anything but simple.

The leader spoke up, "Comrade Grant, please continue."

Celeste Grant nodded. "Sirs, what I’m about to say next is extremely important. Your investigation must have shown that after I was struck by lightning, I was in the hospital for a month. The truth is, during that month, I traveled to the Cultivation World. You probably think I’m crazy for saying that, but it’s the truth."

The moment those three words—"the Cultivation World"—were spoken, the impact was immense. The expressions of everyone present changed. Their faces showed a mixture of shock and disbelief, as if they had just heard something utterly incredible.

’They must have misheard, right?’

’The Cultivation World! Comrade Grant was claiming that after being struck by lightning, she had traveled to the Cultivation World.’

"Impossible."

"This is impossible."

"Comrade Grant, do you have any idea what you’re saying? You claim you traveled to the Cultivation World after being struck by lightning. How can you expect us to believe that?"

Celeste Grant looked at them and smiled. "I know this is hard for you to believe. That’s why I’ve always believed in the saying: seeing is believing."

As she spoke, she extended her hand, palm up. At the same time, an Immortal Spirit Qi enveloped her, and a current of water began to flow around her without a single drop touching the ground.

In that instant, her aura became mysterious and powerful. They felt a pressure emanating from her, but it was gentle, carrying no ill intent.

She clenched her fist, and the water dissipated as she retracted her aura.

"My Cultivation is quite high, so I didn’t dare reveal my full pressure for fear of harming you. I only manifested a small amount of my Immortal Spirit Qi."

As she said this, she reached out, and her teacup on the table floated gently into her hand.

In that moment, her living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The government officials now stared at her, their expressions grim.

The Cultivation World.

Cultivation.

Cultivation.

These concepts, taken together, were enough to shake the entire world.

"So, there really is a Cultivation World beyond our own."

"Cultivation... actually exists."

Even for men who had dedicated their entire lives to serving the country and its people, today was a truly eye-opening experience.

Celeste Grant nodded. "The Earth we inhabit is just an ordinary world. Beyond Earth, there are countless vast domains, home to innumerable civilizations unknown to us."

She began to explain slowly. "The Cultivation World I visited is just one of them. It’s a vast, boundless place, more than ten times the size of Earth, perhaps even larger. And even so, that place is merely a cultivation world within the Lower Realm—just a small corner of the universe. The Upper Realm is the true Immortal Domain, which I have not yet visited."

The more she spoke, the more fantastical it all seemed.

At this point, the elderly military leader spoke up. "So, Comrade Grant, your reason for proactively bringing us here surely isn’t as simple as just wanting to offer the formula for your elixir to the country, is it?"

’Good.’

’That’s a true leader for you.’

’He cut right to the heart of the matter.’

Celeste Grant nodded slightly. "Let me put it this way. What I gave the little girl at the car accident was an Elixir Pill, specifically a very common First-grade Elixir from the Cultivation World. For an ordinary person who hasn’t practiced Cultivation, a single pill is enough for a full recovery, as long as they’re still breathing. As for Cultivators, if they’re seriously injured, they need Second Grade, Third Grade, or even higher-grade Elixir Pills. Ordinary ones are useless. That’s why I said offering the formula was secondary. My primary goal was to meet with the government."

She put down the teacup in her hand.

Her expression turned serious as she looked at them.

"I am now a Cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, so I won’t be staying on Earth for long. But no matter where I go, I will always remember that I am a citizen of my country, and I believe it is everyone’s duty to help our nation prosper. Therefore, I want to gift the nation two Spirit Veins. With these Spirit Veins, it won’t take long for a Spiritual Energy Revival to occur in this world. We can usher in an age of Cultivation, and I would like to hear your thoughts on this."

At this, every single person present was a whirlwind of emotions: excitement, shock, and utter disbelief. In short, they all stared at her with incredibly complex expressions.

Just then, the military leader stood up, his face grim.

"You want to gift the nation two Spirit Veins? Is that true?"

’If that’s true, this is a monumental event that could change the entire world.’

Celeste Grant nodded. "It’s true. Although our Earth is just an ordinary world, we are technologically advanced. Perhaps in the future, we can achieve a fusion of science and Cultivation. I’ve checked, and the people of this world generally possess Spirit Roots, which means anyone with a Spirit Root can practice Cultivation. When that day comes, we can achieve Cultivation for all. Perhaps then our nation will no longer be confined to this small planet called Earth. We might be able to go out and see what’s beyond."

’She could already picture the scene.’

’Awesome.’
