This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 301 The Three Elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man

In Hidden Immortal Valley, at the mountain peak where Xuan Tianyi was located, Zhuang Lin and his group, along with a group of experts from the True Path, landed.

In fact, while they were in the air, all the experts of the True Path had already been attracted by the Xuan Tian Yi, which was emitting a mysterious aura. If they looked at it with their Dharma Eyes, the Xuan Tian Yi, which was shimmering with light, now had a special sense of blurriness, as if it was here but not here, at this time but not at this time.

This feeling became more pronounced as they approached the Xuan Tian Yi. It was so close, yet it seemed untouchable, like an illusion, but it looked incredibly real to the naked eye.

"Senior Zhuang, what kind of treasure is this?"

After landing, Dao Yanzi couldn't help but ask a question. Zhuang Lin glanced at Xi Miao beside him and then explained.

"This treasure is called the Mysterious Heaven Instrument. It can see through the secrets of heaven and hide within them. It is a rare treasure in the world. It can help us to calculate the secrets of heaven and has many wonderful uses! The scenes that we could not see in the Five-Colored Divine Peak Secret Realm before may be able to reappear with this!"

Zhuang Lin's main purpose was to show the True Daoist people the power of mortals from later generations, so he didn't hesitate and directly cast the spell himself.

Zhuang Lin's use of the Xuan Tian Yi differs from Xi Miao's. He directly opens his own Mind Lake and Yuan Sea to connect his inner thoughts with the Xuan Tian Yi. This was a method that Zhuang Lin unintentionally triggered when Xi Miao used the Xuan Tian Yi during her previous seclusion.

Rather than using the Xuan Tian Yi, it's more accurate to say that the Xuan Tian Yi serves as an aid, directly assisting Zhuang Lin in the evolution of his artistic conception. The key lies in whether Zhuang Lin himself possesses sufficient information.

Clearly, at this moment, the evolution of the Five-Colored Divine Peak is sufficient.

"Please do not resist, everyone; this is the manifestation of my innermost thoughts."

As Zhuang Lin cast his spell, the scene he created seemed to blend with the surrounding landscape and then take its place.

Xi Miao and the others, along with the experts from the True Dao Sect, were moved. With their cultivation, they would naturally not be trapped in the "dream" like Liu Hongyu and Leng Zhiheng had been. However, none of them resisted; instead, they actively sensed the changes around them.

At this moment, everyone felt as if they had returned to the Five-Colored Divine Peak Secret Realm, where the vast world, the gray sky, and the distant mountains were all within sight.

This is footage of the nine treasure ships escaping.

The crowd now seemed to be looking down from a high altitude, peering through the thin clouds. Nine treasure ships were speeding away, their engines shooting out long trails that formed beautiful Mach rings.

"what is this?"

Compared to the previous hasty attempt to speed up the spell together, everyone could see things much more clearly this time.

During the evacuation, hatches appeared to open on the bottom of the nine treasure ships, from which several special objects slid out. These objects fell into the air below and unfurled several wing-like metal wings, then glided away in different directions.

Zhuang Lin's voice also rang out at that moment.

"This is a nuclear bomb, or more precisely, a hydrogen bomb. It is a weapon of mass destruction created by ordinary people 1,700 years in the future, and it possesses devastating power!"

However, Zhuang Lin's words did not seem to be corroborated. The nine treasure ships flew all the way to the entrance of the secret realm, but those so-called powerful weapons did not make a sound.

As before, the demon kings avoided direct confrontation with the nine treasure ships. After the nine treasure ships left, the demon kings returned, but they were unable to leave.

The treasure ship then sailed out and stopped in the sky outside the secret realm.

Just then, another familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out.

"9, 8, 7"

Many people remembered that during the earlier stop, some of the busy people on the treasure ship were also counting down, and the sound was amplified and carried to every corner of the ship.

But now, everyone's perspective is different from before. They have returned to the secret realm and to the sky above the trapped demon kings. It seems that this countdown is related to what is about to happen in the secret realm.

Some people even wondered if it was related to that so-called super weapon.

Sure enough, when the countdown ended, the sound of "detonation" rang out.

Almost simultaneously, nine breathtaking beams of light shone brightly within the Flower Fruit Mountain Secret Realm. The light was so dazzling that it rapidly expanded in nine directions within the realm, like nine radiant suns rising.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Long after the blazing sun had shone brightly, the earth-shattering roar finally resounded, and in an instant, the entire secret realm seemed to collapse and the earth to split open.
"Nine suns soar across the sky."

"This is the ultimate weapon?"

Such an immersive scene even made some experts of the True Path want to reach out and block it, but they tried their best to restrain themselves. However, most people were stunned and speechless.

That vast, magnificent, and oppressively oppressive secret realm was destroyed by this terrifying power.

When Zhuang Lin withdrew his intent, the secret realm completely collapsed, and all the mountains and the five-colored giant peaks vanished.
No wonder Senior Zhuang was so certain that the secret realm had been destroyed.
Once everyone had woken up, many of the experts from the True Path looked back at the immortal shipyard they had just arrived at, and re-evaluated the mortals in their hearts.

Even Xi Miao and Wuming were genuinely shocked by that scene, and had similar expressions.

Even many people in Hidden Immortal Valley, who had some knowledge of nuclear weapons and some had even seen videos of them, still felt a greater sense of awe when they truly experienced the terror of such a weapon of mass destruction in Zhuang Lin's vision. "Seventeen hundred years later?"

Finally, someone came to their senses and asked the question. Zhuang Lin looked at the person who had spoken.

"That's right, seventeen hundred years later!"
-
The masters of the True Path do not simply stay in Hidden Immortal Valley for a short while and then leave; instead, they stay for months at a time.

Zhuang Lin did not take them directly to the modern world, as there was no need for that at the moment. Moreover, the people of the True Path completely believed whatever Zhuang Lin said, especially since there was more evidence in Hidden Immortal Valley. Those novel things and magical "mechanisms" were enough to let these immortal cultivators witness the wonders of the future.

During this process, more high-ranking figures from the Great Yan realm also entered Hidden Immortal Valley to meet with Zhuang Lin and many experts from the True Dao Sect.

A comprehensive plan spanning ancient and modern times, with a clear objective, has finally been fully formed.

The goal that Zhenyi Dao has always aimed for is no longer just empty talk for Zhuang Lin, Yinxian Valley, and his fellow Daoists, even in the later Great Yan era.

Moreover, it's not just about shattering the heavens; the same applies to all Buddhas who collude with the gods.

Only in this way can we avoid the enormous threat to ourselves and all things in the world, while at the same time meeting the massive demand for resources.

However, under this premise, it is not something that can be solved simply by being crude and brute-force. In addition to taking it step by step, we also need to distinguish which enemies we really need to deal with.

Two months after the destruction of the Five-Colored Divine Peak, Zhuang Lin and Wuming arrived in the modern world, at a scenic ancient town that was still temporarily closed.

From the outside world's perspective, the ancient town is still under renovation and not open to the public. In reality, this will naturally delay the reopening date, unless the Bureau of Investigation determines that there is no longer any risk.

Today, the arrival of Zhuang Lin and Wuming also surprised the ghost in the temple.

At the entrance of the main hall of the City God Temple, Wuming and Zhuang Lin stood there. The former looked at the statue in the temple and spoke with a smile.

"Qi Yue, I've arrived. Why don't you show yourself?"

Qi Yue emerged from a statue in the main hall of the temple, looking at the gate with surprise. He hadn't even noticed anyone's arrival, but what surprised him even more was the person who came, especially the one holding the umbrella.

I couldn't recognize who it was at first, but there was a strong sense of familiarity.

Qi Yue acted like an ordinary person, even slightly touching her forehead, as if her mind was experiencing a violent upheaval, which then transformed into a sudden flash of inspiration.

In an instant, countless images flashed through my mind. Among them, there was a person standing with an umbrella, speaking coldly.
"The spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, and it is only sustained by human desires and incense offerings. Even the netherworld will decay. How laughable!"

The voice and the eyes were almost identical to those of the people I saw today.

"You are."

Qi Yue immediately composed herself, then stepped forward and bowed to Wuming.

"Qi Yue, the Guardian of the Underworld, pays respects to the Supreme Guardian!"

Zhuang Lin, standing to the side, glanced at Wuming with a slight silence. The latter, rarely showing a smile, turned away and smiled only after his eyes met Zhuang Lin's gaze.

"Sir, you flatter me. Many years ago, I served as a protector for the Taoist sect, and Qi Yue was one of my subordinates. I just didn't expect him to survive."

Zhuang Lin smiled.

"That makes things even easier!"

"Qi Yue, hurry up and pay your respects to the master! This is the last Confucian immortal in the world!"

A Confucian immortal?

Qi Yue, who had just straightened up, was startled and quickly bowed to Zhuang Lin again.

"Greetings, sir!"

Zhuang Lin reached out to support Qi Yue.

"I know you have many questions, but now we are the ones who need your help, so please allow me to tell you everything!"

Achieving future goals is not something that can be done overnight; otherwise, even if it doesn't amount to throwing an egg against a rock, it will still cause widespread suffering and chaos. Therefore, we must proceed step by step and proceed cautiously.

The entire plan is initially divided into three target areas: Heaven, Earth, and Man, and Qi Yue can be an important helper in the "Earth" area.
