This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 293 Breaking into the Five-Colored Mountain
In modern-day Kyoto, one of the dedicated phone lines on Duan Kang's desk at the headquarters of the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations suddenly rang. He initially thought it was just a routine message, but his expression changed within seconds of answering.

The person on the other end of the phone only said a few words: "Dean, it has been confirmed that the plan will start ahead of schedule!"

Duan Kang took a deep breath and kept calm.

"understood!"

After saying this, Duan Kang hung up the phone, then sat down at his desk, logged into the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations' intranet, and entered the highest command code. In his dual capacity as the Director of the Imperial Observatory and the Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations, he directly sent instructions to all relevant personnel.

This was something Duan Kang had the authority to do, and it was something that the Great Yan government had authorized long ago.

At a celebrity meet-and-greet event on a certain TV show, the celebrities present were signing autographs for the fans who were queuing up.

In front of Shen Qingyou, the queue was the longest, with one person taking up most of the points, and many others outside unable to squeeze in.

"Okay, you're all set."

"Thank you, thank you, Master Hanmo!"

"It's okay, next one."

"Master Hanmo, please sign your name on my clothes!"

"Uh, okay"

Shen Qingyou looked at the boy, who looked to be in high school, and smiled as she stuck out her belly and signed his white shirt.

Just then, a personal cell phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.

After signing her autograph, Shen Qingyou smiled and nodded at the fan. After seeing him off, she gestured to the staff member next to her with her eyes, and the staff member immediately stepped forward to stop the next fan.

He took out his phone and saw a simple and straightforward message: "The Five-Colored Divine Peak Project is about to begin. Relevant personnel are to return to their posts."

After glancing at the messages on her phone, Shen Qingyou got up immediately.

"I'm sorry, something urgent comes up and I have to leave for a bit. That's all for today. I'm really sorry!"

As soon as Shen Qingyou left, chaos erupted at the scene. Countless people shouted "Hero Hanmo!" and even more fans tried to squeeze in, but were firmly stopped by the security guards.

Shen Qingyou had already left quickly. He simply walked to the location of a nanny van at the back of the venue and nodded to the special personnel who were always protecting him.

"I'm leaving immediately, you guys cover for me!"

"It's the chief!"

The four men were clearly not ordinary celebrity bodyguards; they all saluted Shen Qingyou.

Shen Qingyou then looked around, took out a small sword from her bosom, and with a flick of her wrist, it transformed into a normal-sized spirit sword. The next moment, it turned into a beam of sword light and flew away on the sword.

Even though they already knew that the person they were protecting was actually a cultivator, this was the first time the four bodyguards had ever seen him display his immortal powers. They couldn't help but be startled and their eyes widened.

At a mission site in Southeast Asia, someone in a monitoring team checked their phone and saw the message: "A colorful day is about to begin. Good luck!"

This small team now frequently appears around the world, firstly to observe the geological patterns of different places, secondly to understand the dissipation of spiritual energy in various places, and thirdly to see if there are any special changes in different places.

However, having received this news, everything else should be put aside.

"Return to base immediately!"

The news has been received at various special training bases throughout the Great Yan Dynasty, and many relevant personnel have immediately begun preparations.

As the relevant instructions were transmitted, almost simultaneously, all those with the right to know, located throughout the modern Great Yan and even in some overseas locations, received a message.

Different messages will display different content depending on the location of the person in question, and may be simple and straightforward or disguised, but the person in question can basically understand what it is as soon as they see the content.

The highest levels of the Great Yan also received the information, and there was not much of a time difference between them and others.
-
Aside from modern times, the transmission of messages in ancient times was slightly more complicated, but there were no major incidents.

The message first reached the Yanzhen Sect, then spread to the other closely cooperating Zhenyi Sects. Afterwards, it was communicated to scattered cultivators using sect secret methods. Subsequently, the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations' various information stations in ancient times also gradually learned of the situation. This time, Liu Hongyu was the one who went to the Yanzhen Sect to deliver the message. Upon entering the Yanzhen Sect's secret blessed land, the sect leader Chang Ruoyu and Dao Yanzi personally came to greet him.

Without waiting for any formal occasion, Liu Hongyu told them the truth as they entered the Yanzhen Sect's secret realm. He then saw the two senior cultivators visibly excited.

Without any hesitation, he immediately rang the bell to summon everyone.
-
A month and a half later, Liu Hongyu was still in the secret realm of the Yanzhen Sect, where many people had gathered during this time.

Originally, Yanzhen Sect was a sect with only a few hundred people, but now there are more than two thousand people inside Yanzhen Sect. They are all cultivators from the True Path of Heaven and Earth from all over the world. Apart from leaving a few necessary people to guard the sect, the sect leader and all the elders led the elites of the sect to arrive.

Liu Hongyu had only met a few high-ranking members of the relevant sects among these people, but almost everyone knew him.

And without exception, every single person in the True Path was incredibly excited, even more so than anyone from the Hidden Immortal Valley or the Great Yan Dynasty of later generations.

On this day, Liu Hongyu and more than two thousand True Path cultivators flew out of the True Path Secret Realm and then stopped above a large lake.

"Nephew Liu, shouldn't it be about time?"

"Hmm, we should be there soon. We're here!"

After landing, Liu Hongyu looked at the experts from various sects of the True Dao Sect around him, nodded, and took the lead in riding the wind away. Immediately afterwards, everyone followed, trying their best to conceal their energy and escape into the same gust of wind.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew into the distance.

At one end of the Taihang Mountains, above the vast expanse of white clouds on the horizon, a cloud of mist seems to drift in with the wind, and within the mist are large ships that appear to be illusory.

These ships were almost all treasure ships originally contributed by the True Dao Sect, and were modified by craftsmen in the Hidden Immortal Valley Divine Craft Workshop using a combination of modern science and technology. Although they were somewhat incongruous, they were equipped with some modern weapons.

The key point is that it's also quite large, with some storage space, so it can hold a lot.

Nine large ships are now flying through the clouds, carrying not only cultivators from Hidden Immortal Valley, but also many people from the Great Flame Layer, agents from the Bureau of Extraordinary Investigations, and military personnel who are already closely integrated with the Bureau.

Zhuang Lin and the others stood at the bow of the largest ship at the front, looking down at the sea of ​​clouds below, while Xi Miao, who was beside him, was in charge of concealing the fleet's aura.

"Fellow Daoists of the True Dao have arrived. Let them come over!"

Zhuang Lin said this, and Xi Miao nodded slightly and released a trace of her aura. Then, a gust of wind swept up from below, with hidden streams of light hidden within it.

Before long, cultivators from several sects of the True Dao Sect flew to the vicinity of the large ship and all paid their respects to Zhuang Lin. Afterwards, people like Chang Ruoyu landed beside Zhuang Lin, while most of the other disciples followed and flew around the ship, some curiously observing the treasure ship that had already undergone a great transformation.

However, these magical artifacts and treasure ships were found to have many strange things on them. There were some large iron poles on the hull and top, as well as strange flags and metal boxes. There were also many metal covers on the deck.

There were also quite a few people on those large ships, many of whom could only be considered ordinary people.

Meanwhile, many elites from the Bureau of Investigation and the Great Yan Army were also observing their surroundings on the treasure ship. It was the first time for everyone to see such a large number of cultivators flying, and for some, it was the first time they had ever actually seen cultivators. Needless to say, they were deeply shocked.

Zhuang Lin and the others were on the first treasure ship. With their combined magic, they drew a circle in the air in front of them, as if creating a huge mirror out of thin air.

The mirror also showed a scene: Murong Chui's army attacking Murong Yong's Changzi City. Amidst the deafening battle cries, Changzi City fell, and Murong Chui shouted with a triumphant smile.

"Traitorous scoundrel, I am the rightful heir of the Great Yan!"

Many members of Murong Yong's faction lost their heads amidst the flashing blades, foreshadowing Murong Chui's unification of the Xianbei Yan state.

The circular light spell on the treasure ship high in the sky was extinguished instantly, and at this moment, the fate brought about by the struggle between the two Yan states had reached its peak.

Meanwhile, the nine treasure ships rushed toward the dilapidated temple.

Having already investigated the situation, Zhuang Lin casually tossed the exquisite pagoda down. While still in mid-air, it grew longer in the wind and actually landed directly on the spot where the Golden Pagoda left by the Heavenly King of the Shamen. The main body of the ancient pagoda and the pearl on the top of the pagoda merged into one.

The Shamen Heavenly King's tower was originally intended to isolate one's aura, but now Zhuang Lin has exploited this loophole, turning it into an asset.

The nine treasure ships rushed toward the pagoda, seemingly shrinking in the process, and drifted directly into the pagoda in the wind, bringing the murals inside to life.
When the treasure ship reappeared, it was already in a gray and gloomy world!
