Lu Ren was enlightened; although this idea might have crossed others’ minds, the method of execution, the way to refine, remains a secret within a secret.
Even Chang Xin beside him, upon hearing it, had a flash in her eyes, and leaned in to listen intently.
This must be the crystallization of the most exquisite wisdom of an era.
After spending two hours, Lu Ren obtained from Chang’e a deeper level of the Seeking Truth Realm, a method of entering and exiting without being controlled by the Seeking Truth, he then re-entered the Seeking Truth Realm.
At this moment, his body, which had been cracked open, was completely restored under the operation of the Past Maitreya True Scripture, with no sign of the previous immense pressure that had almost disintegrated his flesh.
Standing again on the withered cassia tree, Lu Ren did not rush to enter a deeper layer of the Seeking Truth Realm.
In this state of simultaneously elevating his five senses, seeing the deeper levels within the Seeking Truth Realm left Lu Ren feeling somewhat inadequate.
He slightly acclimatized to his body, now initially transformed by True Wind infiltration.
He could sense some fundamental structures of his body being modified, making it more compatible with the Seeking Truth Realm. Ultimately, it might truly be as Chang Xin, completely integrating into the deep layers of the Seeking Truth Realm.
Is this considered ascension?
Thinking while hastening on, after eight hours of a smooth journey, he was located near Earth’s orbit, his eyes like torches scanning Earth, only to find the situation much worse than imagined.
In his view, a vast darkness akin to massive tornados rose from four places.
Lu Ren’s gaze slightly tightened, and as his sight swept over, he suddenly saw illusory images superimposing in the sky, with mountains and rivers flowing above.
The Kunlun Exotic Realm.
The only doubt in Lu Ren’s heart was why the convergence points of the Underworld and Kunlun Exotic Realm would be on Earth.
Could it be that in extremely ancient times, the Kunlun Exotic Realm and Underworld both belonged to Earth?
As Lu Ren’s feet shifted slightly, the Bodhisattva Path Fruit behind his mind suddenly lit up, immediately a pale golden halo fiercely expanded, and he transformed into a golden light, hurtling towards Earth within the cosmos.
Through high-speed movement and atmospheric friction, the surging Ten Earth True Qi transformed into Body Armor Qi, making him resemble a colossal fireball with an astonishing momentum.
Hua Mountain, Ten Thousand Peaks.
Zhang Tongxuan looked somberly at the semi-circular tomb entrance ahead, with an inner passage as dark as pitch, seemingly absorbing even light.
"Is this the Queen Mother of the West’s Tomb?"
A middle-aged man with an obvious military bearing next to him asked Zhang Tongxuan with a grave expression.
Qi and blood surged around them, and Inner Strength coursed throughout, revealing a physique towering around two meters fifty.
Clearly a super expert of the Determination Path Realm.
Zhang Tongxuan glanced at him and waved his hand, "I don’t know, Director Chen, have someone open the mountain! It’s too dangerous to go inside, teeming with Yin energy, if people enter recklessly, big problems could arise."
The middle-aged man, Section Chief Chen, nodded slightly and waved his hand.
Subsequently, a large number of soldiers clad in simple exoskeleton armor carrying a great deal of explosives arrived, and then drilled hundreds of deep holes under the guidance of professionals, pushing the latest high-intensity explosives in.
Two hours later, everything was ready, and with a command from Section Chief Chen, the soldiers beside immediately pressed the detonation device.
Countless earth and rocks surged like waves, spreading in all directions. Thıs text ıs hosted at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Dust rose, blotting out the sky, even carrying an unimaginable force, forcibly changing the terrain of the area.
Zhang Tongxuan’s eyes emitted clear light, scanning around them before exclaiming appreciatively: "Wonderful, Director Chen, in the past, it would have been impossible to change mountain shapes and ground geography . Now, it can be done with just high-explosive explosives, which saves us so much trouble!"
With that, Zhang Tongxuan directed a group of people dressed as Daoists, evidently from the Dragon Tiger Mountain lineage, to slowly begin arranging formations around the mountain blown open.
"What’s the purpose of this big formation? I’ve never seen you use it before,"
Section Chief Chen asked curiously.
In these days, because of frequent cooperation with Zhang Tongxuan, familiarity grew, and there wasn’t much need for politeness.
Zhang Tongxuan replied, "Nowadays, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism is slowly reviving, like in the Mythical Era, the Queen Mother was the consort of the Jade Emperor, surely possessing heaven-reaching powers, perhaps even absorbing a wisp of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism could bring about a reversal."
Referring to this, Zhang Tongxuan sighed, "Those were figures who each condensed the Taoism Fruits of Immortal Humans and Earth Immortals, completely transcending the human category, reaching the unknown. Totally unimaginable for us."
"Once they return and Immortal Gods revive, we may have no chance for a comeback."
Saying this, Zhang Tongxuan looked at the numerous Taoists busily arranging the large formation, and he suddenly whispered, "Has the Starfire Project already begun?"
Director Chen was surprised: "You know about this? It’s top-secret!"
Zhang Tongxuan chuckled, "I know a lot more people than you, and strictly speaking, my rank is half a step higher than yours, though without actual power."
Director Chen was speechless, pondering for a moment, "The Starfire Project started three years ago, and it’s mostly finished now, adjustments are being made these last few months, it might begin next year."
"Has the location been set?"
"Confirmed, fifteen light-years away, it’ll probably take two hundred years to reach," Director Chen said, crossing his arms, his expression showing a touch of resolve.
"Let’s have us old guys stay behind, after all, you can’t put all your eggs in one basket."
Zhang Tongxuan nodded slightly, "Makes sense."
Then he encouraged, "But now that the world is greatly changing, although the world will become quite unstable, there are opportunities for attaining the Path, perhaps we may condense Human Immortal Path Fruits in this era, who knows."
Director Chen smirked, understanding what Zhang Tongxuan intended, or rather, those determined on the Path in this era would not have any thoughts of leaving Earth. Here, an unprecedented transformation is occurring, the environment is drastically changing, it is the best place for cultivation.
The wish is to eliminate all these sleeping tombs of Immortal Gods in advance, apart from ensuring an overall peaceful environment, it’s also because there are many covetable things within these Immortal God’s tombs.
True Skills, Taoist Spells, Profound Secrets, and even some Taoist Principle Networks; knowing just a bit of these would be greatly beneficial to oneself.
As Section Chief Chen was about to speak, he felt a slight heat above his head, involuntarily lifting his head to glance at the sky, his expression slightly stunned.
The next second, Zhang Tongxuan shouted loudly.
"Retreat, everyone retreat, run away!!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately dropping what they were doing, frantically fleeing in all directions, each displaying their unique talents, using every bit of their strength in various life-saving escape techniques.
