This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 262 The Wonders of Kyoto
Since Liu Hongyu had the most frank and open communication with the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations last time, many doubts in the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations, or rather the contemporary Great Yan Dynasty, have been resolved, and they are no longer hindered by their doubts.

Hidden Immortal Valley could feel the sincerity of the Great Yan Dynasty, and Hidden Immortal Valley had basically reciprocated with the utmost sincerity, except for some things that really couldn't be said.

Even the plan to break through illusions has been revealed in more than 90% of its content. If the remaining 10% were told the truth, it would be illogical and make people think all sorts of things.

Therefore, in subsequent contacts, even the high-ranking personnel of the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations now know about the Five-Colored Divine Peak. It can be said that, except for things that cannot be said, information sharing has been achieved to a great extent.

It also allows the Great Yan to establish a common information station outside the Hidden Immortal Valley, and retains a passage artifact within the information station, granting it the authority to bring people into the Hidden Immortal Valley.

This kind of trust that can be truly felt gives rise to a qualitative change.

Sometimes the development of things is not necessarily linear, and many things often make breakthrough progress after a certain stage.

With the foundation laid earlier, the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations, a special agency with the full support of the Great Yan Dynasty, finally began to gradually unleash its true capabilities.

In addition to beginning preparations across the country for a development different from normal social development, a surprise is also brewing for another side of ancient times.

Under these circumstances, Zhuang Lin and his companions were finally able to enter the Imperial Observatory's Drum Tower openly for the first time to see the precious Xuan Tian Yi (a type of astronomical instrument).
-
On a crisp autumn day, the atmosphere around the Drum Tower of the Imperial Observatory was completely different from usual, and the surrounding colleagues were several levels higher in status.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Duan Kang and some people from the Bureau of Investigation were already waiting outside the Drum Tower, and some of them kept looking at their watches.

"It's already past 9 AM, they should be arriving soon, but the car we sent might not be able to pick them up, it might go directly to our ancient building."

"Um, everyone, be mindful of your image!"

Duan Kang gave these instructions, while Xiong Xuguang, standing to the side, appeared relaxed. He knew that he didn't need to be so reserved in front of the Master, but he didn't say anything more, as everyone was doing this to show respect.

Just a few minutes later, someone received a phone call saying that the car had arrived at the outer perimeter and would be coming in soon, which put everyone's spirits up.

Sure enough, not long after, several cars drove straight to the front of the ancient building. This was sent by the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations to pick up the person. It was clear that the Confucian Immortal had not come by flying or disappearing into the ground this time.

The car stopped, and without waiting for anyone to open the door, Zhuang Lin opened the door himself and got out, followed by Xi Miao and Liu Hongyu.

Although they had already seen the photos, Zhuang Lin and Xi Miao's appearances still left a deep impression on everyone present.

The brief greetings went unnoticed, and the two sides skipped the formalities and got straight to the point, soon arriving at the Xuan Tian Yi of the Imperial Observatory.

At this moment, the outer protective frame of the Xuan Tian Yi has been removed, and a lot of cushioning materials have been piled up around it.

Although Zhuang Lin had secretly come to see the Xuan Tian Yi a few times, this was the first time Xi Miao had observed and touched this important treasure up close. Now that she was openly experiencing it, she was able to perceive even more details.

Zhuang Lin simply watched, while Xi Miao had already touched the Xuan Tian Yi and infused it with strands of pure spiritual energy, causing the long-dormant Xuan Tian Yi to begin emitting bursts of light again.

Inside the ancient building, many members of the Bureau of Investigation came out from the upper and lower floors. Although the Confucian Immortal had arrived today, it was not to the extent of evacuating everyone. Many people looked at the ancient-dressed man and woman entering from the first floor with excited expressions.

Duan Kang and the others looked at Xi Miao. They had known not long ago that this fairy-like figure was actually a great demon in human form, and she was also proficient in the principles of Yi Jing. She was the one who was most interested in the Xuan Tian Yi.

At this moment, everyone around Zhuang Lin and the others, as well as everyone in the building, fell silent.

The Xuan Tian Yi (a type of astronomical instrument) has clearly undergone some unprecedented changes, which modern researchers could never achieve even after a lifetime of experimentation.

At this moment, the copper ring compass on the Xuan Tian Yi began to slowly rotate, and the fluorescence on it became brighter and brighter, changing from a faint white light to five colors: red, yellow, white, black, and cyan, constantly flashing and changing.

The entire ancient building trembled slightly due to the operation of the Xuan Tian Yi, and everyone stared intently at the Xuan Tian Yi and the woman in ancient costume in front of it.

The symbols on the bronze mirror began to change rapidly, prompting Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu to step forward and examine them closely. Xi Miao's movements became faster and faster, and even a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Master?"

Upon hearing Liu Hongyu's words, Zhuang Lin raised his hand.

"Please be patient, everyone. Fellow Daoist Ximiao was probably so overjoyed that he couldn't help but use the Xuan Tian Yi to calculate the secrets of heaven. But don't worry, we know what we're doing!"

In the modern environment, operating the Xuan Tian Yi is extremely difficult, as everything depends on Xi Miao's own spiritual power, so she finds it particularly strenuous.

However, the effects of a treasure like the Xuan Tian Yi are vastly different depending on whether it falls into the hands of Xi Miao or a scientific researcher.

But Xi Miao looked increasingly strained and couldn't help but turn around and speak.

"Sir, please help me!" Without saying a word, Zhuang Lin immediately stepped forward, closed his eyes slightly, and sensed the changing patterns of the Xuan Tian Yi's spiritual light. He found it to be as complex as the stars in the sky, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

So Zhuang Lin glanced at Xi Miao and tapped her back with his finger.

There was no other way; at this moment, one dared not casually channel magic power into the Xuan Tian Yi, lest it disrupt this state. Instead, it was best to give the magic power to Xi Miao and let her control everything.

Xi Miao's body and mind trembled slightly as she felt a surge of pure and immense spiritual energy flow into her body, rapidly boosting her previously waning strength.

This is the true essence and power of a real person, an indescribable feeling, as if the power of heaven and earth is helping!
Xi Miao cast aside distracting thoughts and continued casting the spell, using the combined power of the two to control the Xuan Tian Yi.

Although the treasure was somewhat damaged inside, Xi Miao believed that the two of them would be able to handle it.

The five-colored radiance became increasingly apparent. From the outside, one could see layers of radiance overflowing from the ancient building, spreading outwards in waves and bursts, eventually reaching the outside of the building and into the air.

From a distance, the entire ancient building of the Imperial Observatory appears as a huge treasure, radiating layers of five-colored light that gradually illuminates the sky, turning the clouds into a colorful tapestry.

Afterwards, the halo produced by the five-colored radiance was no longer just light, but also generated a slight impact.

This impact seemed to have no effect on ordinary matter, but it made many ordinary people present feel unsteady, and some even subconsciously stepped back, experiencing obvious dizziness.

"Swish~" "Swish~" "Swish~" "Swish~"
The light grew stronger and stronger. Xiong Xuguang looked to his side and saw that Duan Kang had almost fallen. Fortunately, he caught him, but the old man's face was covered in sweat.

"Elder brother——"

In desperation, Xiong Xuguang shouted the same thing he had done to Liu Hongyu in Hidden Immortal Valley.

Liu Hongyu, who was somewhat engrossed in experiencing the wondrous changes, suddenly awoke from his reverie and immediately stopped his comprehension, looking around.

"Everyone, get out immediately! Your souls cannot withstand this celestial change. Do not look at the Mysterious Celestial Instrument again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongyu waved his sleeve.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose up in the ancient building, and everyone around, whether they were beside the building, on the railings upstairs or downstairs, or in the office, was suddenly swept up by the wind.

Amid screams, they were either flung out of several doors or swept out of windows by the wind.

In a very short time, all the people in the ancient building were cleared out.

Xiong Xuguang ran out on his own, and Liu Hongyu gave him a few words of advice as he left.

"Xuguang, please explain this to me. I tried my best to control the fluctuations of the treasure, but I may not be able to achieve complete success. It's up to you how you handle the resulting impact!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Hongyu cast a spell, and in an instant, a special halo covered the ancient building.

The radiance that had previously spread outwards in layers suddenly became less noticeable.

But this is only relative; you can still see the "waves" formed by the five-colored light.
Outside the ancient building, besides the many people who had been swept out of the building by the wind and were still in shock, many other people came out from all directions, almost all staring wide-eyed at the direction of the ancient building.

"Dean, are you all right?"

Xiong Xuguang ran out and looked at Duan Kang and the others, who shook their heads.

"It's alright, it seems even the Confucian Immortal didn't anticipate this situation."

"Dean, let's think about something else, like how to explain what happened today."

As someone said this, they looked up at the sky.

The radiance of the ancient building was limited to a certain range due to Liu Hongyu's spell, but this control was clearly not complete.

At this very moment, the white clouds in the sky above half of Kyoto gradually turned into patches of colorful clouds, and even the blue sky was tinged with faint iridescent colors.

Throughout Kyoto, countless citizens put aside their work and daily lives, either consciously or unconsciously, and went out or stopped to look up at the spectacular sight in the sky.
