Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 317 The Prelude to a New Era
Nathan Island, the highest mountain peak.

A gentle breeze blows, and the pines rustle in the wind.

An old Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest were leisurely reclining on a deck chair by the cliff.

On the stone table, a purple clay teapot gurgled and steamed, filling the air with the aroma of tea.

In stark contrast to this ethereal scene, the two were each engrossed in their phones, reading 'aircraft carrier jokes' posted by witty netizens.

"Breaking news! Rumors are circulating that the aircraft carrier's fire suppression system has malfunctioned, with fire sprinklers spraying excessively and the ship's cabins flooded? Is it really 'flooding the entire fleet'?"

"Hilarious! I heard there was a serious water leak this time. Water poured into the crew's quarters from the ceiling in the middle of the night, and the soldiers were woken up by the water and had to evacuate the deck in their underwear!"

"I thought the US was so powerful, but this is all? Two aircraft carriers came over aggressively, showing off their might. I thought they were going to do something tough, but they just made a mess of things!"

"After all, they are old relics from decades ago, so it's normal for them to have some malfunctions. But the gap between us and the enemy is still huge. The United States has twelve aircraft carriers, and even if one of them sinks, they still have eleven! Our country only has one at the moment, so we still need to stay clear-headed and face the gap squarely."

"The person upstairs is right, we still need to look at this rationally. Even if a ship really sinks, it doesn't mean anything; the US's global military and technological strength is still top-notch. But... if this is true, then the fun will be huge, enough to make me laugh for a year! Hahaha!"

"Heh, I'm sick of this kind of argument. Neither the US nor our government has confirmed this news to this day, and there isn't even a blurry photo of the scene! I don't know what you keyboard warriors are yelling about? You get all excited about online jokes every day, with absolutely no independent thinking ability. I bet you'll only be fit to work on construction sites and cause trouble for the country for the rest of your lives!"

As Mo Yu looked at these comments, some true and some false, some playful and some angry and some righteous, a playful smile crept onto his lips.

This generation of netizens is truly talented.

The various jokes were crafted with great detail and vividness.

Although he stabbed the aircraft carrier through with his greatsword.

However, in order to keep their extraordinary powers hidden from the public, the number of cultivators increased dramatically, leading to the advent of the mythological era.

Even the University of Tokyo did not take the opportunity to kick the US while it was down, making the US even more embarrassed.

Having suffered a tremendous loss, the United States, after its initial outrage and shock, could only swallow its anger and accept this "least bad" outcome.

However, the bizarre comments made by those clownish "cowards" and "rational and objective" people on the internet really made Mo Yu shake her head.

The enemy's aircraft carrier suffered a major setback and its combat power was damaged, but a bunch of people on our side jumped out and clamored for "compensation" to take the opportunity to negotiate.

These guys have really forgotten everything.

What exactly did they rely on during that darkest time when they were penniless and destitute?

Ha ha.

There has only ever been—

A punch landed!

Just like now, when Mo Yu pierced through the aircraft carrier with a single sword, fully demonstrating his strength.

When he proposed that he wanted to start the True Martial Alliance and asked Behemoth if he was interested in investing,

Ron wanted to pull him further.

Gade immediately knelt down, indicating that it was an honor for him.

His posture was even more devout and respectful than when he knelt before his own father!

Clinging to Mo Yu's leg, she tearfully begged him to give this precious opportunity to Behemoth.

It is an immense honor for the entire Behemoth Foundation and for Gade himself to be able to contribute the modest efforts of the Behemoth Foundation to the cause of the "True Martial Alliance" founded by the "Great and Benevolent His Majesty Mo Yu"!

They fear power but do not cherish virtue.

Our ancestors clearly and explicitly stated this a long time ago.

But there are some fools who don't understand, and... don't want to understand.

Once they put on their shoes, they only think about their own interests.

Mo Yu shook her head and stopped looking at the various expert opinions circulating online.

Undeniably, among the masses, there are indeed some great beings who shine like brilliant stars, radiating the light of humanity and extraordinary wisdom.

However, most people, without cultivation, will inevitably be swept up by various desires and ignorance.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiwei also put down his phone.

On the screen, the "99+" unread messages from Zhao Fangxu in just one minute were giving him a headache.

Are you worried now?

What were you doing so early, Mom?!

Especially considering that he has also faced similar constraints over the years.

If it weren't for Longhu Mountain, the Old Celestial Master's temper back then would have been even more explosive than Mo Yu's!
Nowadays...

It can only be said that as people get older, most of the people and things they once cared about have become distant memories, and they are too lazy to get angry over trivial matters.

However, he was still very unhappy with Mo Yu's actions.

Zhang Zhiwei shifted slightly, feeling the heavy, oppressive atmosphere coming from all directions, and looked at Mo Yu with a dark expression:
"You brat! Couldn't you have gone a little easier?! After the Jia Shen year, the life limit had finally increased a bit, but after your outburst, it's starting to react and is being suppressed again!"

"That's an aircraft carrier, not some random cat or dog."

Mo Yu lay sprawled on the bamboo recliner like a salted fish, also feeling a bit suffocated by the oppressive power of the Heaven-Severing Array.
"One of the highest technological achievements of modern civilization! Putting aside everything else, it's at least twenty stories high, made entirely of steel! Do you really think it's so easy to break through? Even when I used my limit-breaking power, I still felt a bit strained and almost collapsed and embarrassed myself."

But, having said that.

But the time he went all out on the aircraft carrier without any restraint, that was indeed... pretty satisfying!

Of course, he feels terrible now that he's had his fun.

It's like a tall person who is 1.8 meters tall being forcibly compressed into 1.6 meters by an external force.

That feeling was so oppressive, it made you want to tear that damned God apart!
Ran and egg.

Although with his current strength, he is indeed capable of shattering the void.

But unless he can completely destroy the Interdimensional Connection, he will only face even stronger suppression.

This extraordinary limit is not immutable.

It's more like a undulating curve.

Its peaks and valleys are referred to by Taoists as the "Great Heat Era" and the "Great Cold Era".

During the Great Heat period, the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth are more active, allowing both cultivation and magic to mobilize more of the energy of heaven and earth.

However, during the coldest period of winter, the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth are almost at a freezing point, in an inert state, and extremely difficult to mobilize.

This is why, whether it was Zhang Zhiwei before or Mo Yu now, when using power at the limit-breaking level, they would wrap the space with a layer of domain.

Its purpose is not to increase its own power.

Instead, it prevents the extraordinary fluctuations that break through the limits from being detected by the great array of the Separate Heaven and Earth, thus avoiding the suppression becoming stronger.

"Ah."

Zhang Zhiwei snorted coldly, too lazy to say anything more.

Anyway, he's been suppressed for over sixty years and is used to this feeling of being stifled.

Mo Yu did some quick calculations:
"The power fluctuations from this leak are not significant. At most, it will last three to five years before the suppression reaches its lowest point. It should be able to return to its previous level in about ten years."

Zhang Zhiwei took a sip of tea and didn't dwell on the matter any further.
"The company asked me to find out what you're up to on Nathan Island, destroying an aircraft carrier and setting up the 'True Martial Alliance' all this time."

Mo Yu glanced at him with a slightly puzzled look:
"I don't believe you, Old Master, can't see my purpose. Whether it's technology or the extraordinary, if you want to make rapid progress, you can't avoid the clash of ideas!" "The current domestic circle of extraordinary people is being suppressed too much. The Luo Tian Grand Ceremony has become the most exciting event in recent years."

"The so-called 'use it or lose it' principle applies to those who bury themselves in hard work but lack sufficient opportunities to frequently exchange ideas and practice with peers to truly test their skills. How can their skills improve then?"

"While the birth of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques certainly involved an element of chance, each of the individuals who created these techniques had reached a level of mastery that was difficult for others to match in their own cultivation."

As he spoke, Mo Yu stared at his palm:

"In terms of strength, it's hard for me to make any further progress. After all, there's a 'limit' in the system."

"But in terms of methods, I am very clear that I still have so much to learn and understand, which will allow me to apply what I've learned to other situations and go even further!"

Zhang Zhiwei paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"If you just want to learn new things... I still have some face to spare, so I can introduce you to other sects."

"and then?"

Mo Yu smiled faintly, gazing leisurely into the distance.

"The foundation left by our ancestors is indeed substantial, but we can't keep up with the past! If we want a continuous stream of new things, someone has to come up with new methods!"

"And what I, Mo Yu, need to do now is to provide these fellow Daoists with a place where they can fully unleash their extraordinary power!"

Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his temples, saying with a slight headache:

"Zhao Fangxu said that several top leaders were worried that if their secrets were revealed, outsiders would covet them, and they were also afraid that their belongings would be stolen."

It can only be said that these concerns from high-level officials are not entirely unfounded.

After all, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.

As the Celestial Master, Zhang Zhiwei had to take charge of matters concerning the orthodox lineage.

Therefore, he agreed so readily when Zhao Fangxu asked him to come to Nasen to gauge Mo Yu's attitude.

"Outsiders covet it? Someone steals my skills? Heh,"

Mo Yu shook his head, unconcerned, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"You, sir, have personally experienced the darkness and turmoil. How much did the Eight-Nation Alliance plunder back then? During the War of Resistance against Japan, how many sects were wiped out? You should know better than I do the consequences of closing the country off and being complacent!"

"Moreover, in this respect, we are the ones with the advantage! The location is in our hands, which means that we also have the initiative."

"If we have such a huge advantage, and yet we still get overtaken... it just means that closing ourselves off from the world will only hasten our demise!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei simply lowered his head and silently sipped the fragrant tea in his cup, without saying a word.

Seeing his silent demeanor, Mo Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly and sigh.

He naturally knew what the old Celestial Master's purpose was in this trip, and seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he could only say:

"With me here, for at least the next hundred years, no one will be able to surpass me in the exploration and achievements of the 'Transcendent Path'. With my talent and comprehension, no one in the True Martial Alliance will be able to see more than I do!"

Zhang Zhiwei finally smiled and put down his teacup:

"You kid... are you interested in becoming the next Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain?"

With the guarantee of Mo Yu, a cultivator who had reached the 'Shattered Void' level in his early twenties.

At least for the next hundred years, there is no need to worry about the inheritance and safety of the Taoist tradition.

Zhang Zhiwei vaguely remembered that he was already in his forties when he reached this level of cultivation.

Mo Yu will live for at least another two cycles of sixty years!

As for Zhang Zhiwei himself... well, he probably doesn't have much life left.

But it doesn't matter.

At least for the next era, the inheritance of the Chinese Daoist tradition is no longer a concern!
As for what's further into the future... well, that's not something this old guy should worry about!

"I'll pass. You should leave your position as Celestial Master to your good grand-disciple."

Mo Yu declined the position of Celestial Master.

In his view, this position was far too heavy and full of trouble.

Besides, he is, after all, a disciple of Wudang or Sanyi Sect.

Even if he were to inherit a sect, he should consider becoming the leader of Wudang Sect or the head of Sanyi Sect.

Zhang Zhiwei was slightly disappointed; he genuinely hoped that Mo Yu could be his successor.
"Neither Chu Lan nor Ling Yu are capable of holding this position right now."

Mo Yu shook his head and said meaningfully:

"Both of them have good potential, but they lack opportunities for experience. Especially Zhang Chulan, who wasted ten golden years without guidance or even deliberate suppression, yet still managed to reach where he is today through his own exploration. If he were given more opportunities..."

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at him:
"You want them to come to your True Martial Alliance for training?"

Mo Yu nodded without hesitation:

"According to my plan, I will give the southern part of Nathan to Behemoth. As for the northern region, I don't know the attitude of All-Tong. If they don't want to take it, then the people in the circle will have to come over on their own."

"Once the clash of ideas begins, it could very well ignite a revolutionary movement. To be absent at that moment... is no laughing matter!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei nodded solemnly.

Mo Yu's move is just like the Jixia Academy in the Spring and Autumn Period.

It is a place where a hundred schools of thought contend, and a place where all methods converge!

Those who go there may not feel how much they have changed.

But those who don't go will be left behind by the times!

Moreover, if no domestic experts come, who will Mo Yu learn from if he goes to secretly cough?

Foreigners aren't saying there aren't any good things.

It can only be said that the homogenization is too serious.

Alchemy, dark magic, runes, and the like.

He has already grasped most of it.

Nowhere can compare to the myriad Taoist arts, Buddhist supernatural powers, and even the secret techniques of a hundred schools of thought that have been passed down in China for thousands of years—so diverse, colorful, and infinitely mysterious!

After seeing the old master off, Mo Yu lay back in the wicker chair, picked up his phone, and dialed a number:
"Hey, Uncle Feng? Haha, I'm fine here. I haven't forgotten about the engagement, so we'll proceed as planned. Also, Tianxia Group's business scope includes real estate development and infrastructure construction, right?"

"You know the situation on Nathan Island. If I want to establish the True Martial Alliance, I will naturally have to undertake large-scale infrastructure construction. This is a huge project, and it's best to keep the profits within our own borders."

"Don't worry about manpower, I have two thousand people here, that should be enough. As for materials and equipment, customs shouldn't hold us back. If it's not feasible domestically, we can also ship them from the US. I think Behemoth would be happy to help now."

Development always requires "people".

Without an influx of talent, Nathan is a barren island.

The reason why Mo Yu let Behemoth go so easily before, and even offered to cooperate with them and give up the southern part of Nathan, is that Mo Yu did so.

It's entirely because robbing is nowhere near as profitable as real estate and finance!

He not only wanted to leverage the help of the United States and East Asia to quickly complete the infrastructure construction and modernization of the entire Nathan Island!
They also have to spend a lot of money to buy the houses they built themselves!

They also scramble to bring in their own talent!

At that time, this place will not only become the most open sacred place for cultivation, but also the most advanced research institute for the extraordinary.

Mo Yu can obtain everything he wants from it: the technological achievements and industrial equipment of modern industrial society!
Only now, having completely taken control of Nathan Island, has Mo Yu truly broken through the impasse in this world!
He will be able to utilize everything in this industrial society to help him better explore other heavens and worlds!
