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

Chapter 483 Bright Sun Events
Penglai Immortal Island, where the greatest talents of immortality reside.

Duan Xinglian's figure, sitting cross-legged, appeared exceptionally small.

“Cough…cough cough cough——!”

He clutched his chest, each cough aggravating his fragile internal organs.

A branch, entwined with leaves, drooped down and gently rested on his back. A warm, vibrant feeling flowed in, like spring rain nourishing his body and soothing his pain.

"Thank you...you're a genius."

With a pale face, Duan Xinglian turned his head to look at the towering peach tree behind him and forced a smile as he thanked it.

The lush green branches and leaves of the ancient tree swayed gently in the air, as if responding to him.

Unfortunately, Duan Xinglian did not understand the complex "tree language" within it.

He leaned against the thick tree trunk, looked up at the canopy that blocked out the sky and was full of endless vitality, but his eyes were filled with an inescapable confusion and self-doubt.

"Can I... really become a great supernatural being?"

He questioned himself in this way more than once.

Looking across the entire world, it's probably impossible to find anyone with better conditions for cultivation than him.

Three of the most powerful spiritual masters of the time took turns giving him private lessons; the various classic texts and secret collections of the Three Truths, Penglai, and Thousand Machines Sects were made infinitely available to him.

However, his congenitally weak body was like a delicate and fragile vase, unable to even endure high-intensity ascetic training.

Without the help of a longevity expert, given his own physique, he could only cultivate for a maximum of three hours a day.

Even with the best efforts to prolong life, it would only last for nine hours.

For ordinary seekers of the Dharma, this duration might already be considered diligent and hardworking.

But compared to the top-notch treatment he enjoys now, and the high expectations placed on his shoulders, it is... far from enough.

If you wish to achieve a high degree in supernatural powers before the final battle of cause and effect that will determine the fate of the world in 2025…

Even if he cultivated for 24 hours a day without sleep, it would still be an almost impossible task.

Not to mention, his dilapidated body simply couldn't withstand that extremely high-intensity training mode.

Feeling lost, he took out "The Daily History of Haoguang," which he had read countless times, from his pocket, trying to find some insights and answers to guide him forward from the growth process of his predecessors.

"Um?!"

However, when he randomly turned to a page, he was struck dumb and froze on the spot!
"How...how has it changed?!"

Duan Xinglian's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief and horror!
He read this book of daily events day and night, and over the years he had memorized it thoroughly; there was absolutely no way he could have misremembered it!
He checked it several times and then hurriedly flipped through a few more pages.

Every word inside was both familiar and strange to him!
The section about Heishan Village remains unchanged.

The change began after the Battle of Wufu and Zhao Yan.

After several days of confusion and arduous self-exploration in cultivation, Master Haoguang encountered Haishan and was guided into the path by him.

But now...

This is a different story!
[Autumn of the thirty-second year of the Guangxu reign (1906)]

XX transmitted the XX manual to me, and it took half an hour to successfully enter the path.

I narrowly lost by half a move to the big-headed monster! The XX Talisman consumed a lot of energy, but I feel it's because my research on it isn't deep enough.

Furthermore, does Penglai Island really exist? So, the First Emperor's dispatch of Xu Fu to sea in search of the elixir of immortality wasn't just feudal superstition?

Duan Xinglian's breathing became extremely rapid!

He continued flipping through the pages.

[...He fought again at Haishan, but narrowly lost.]

[...From the Eight Immortals, I learned the secrets of the 'Blocking Stone' and the Myriad Corpse Immortals.]

The reason why more people are prevented from knowing about the seeker of the Dharma is that the fewer people who recognize the existence of the 'Dharma,' the smaller the influence of the Myriad Corpse Immortal on the real world will be.

Furthermore, Wang Baxianjun claims he invented this thing. I wonder if he's just bragging?

[...fought again, and lost.]

[...A narrow victory! (Heavily crossed out) You actually went easy on her just because of a meal cooked by Senior Sister Qingqing?! Haishan, where's your integrity?!]

[...That wretched turtle immortal! I don't know what's gotten into him lately, he's even ruining the holidays for me! I'll remember this grudge!]

[...Successfully killed one of the mid-level divine corpses marked by the Three True Sky-Chasing Seal. The Eight Immortals only cause me trouble; the things XX taught me are much more practical. (Note: This time, I did not use the great divine power talisman left to me by the Eight Immortals!)]

[...I wanted to go abroad to systematically learn scientific knowledge. But I was mercilessly mocked by Wang Baxianjun, how infuriating! He even said that even if mortal technology advanced for another hundred years, it wouldn't reach the level of his little finger in weapon crafting, so learning it would be a waste of time. I should spend more time studying the weapon crafting knowledge he gave me.]

While it's highly likely that what he said is true given his freakish abilities, Zhao Yan has proven with his life that supernatural powers are ultimately just tools of destruction. The future development of the world must rely on science for comprehensive advancement! I firmly believe this!

One article after another, page after page.

The diary reveals that Master Haoguang followed a completely different growth trajectory on a new timeline!
Although the general trajectory remains the same, the subtle details are completely different!

When Duan Xinglian turned to a certain page, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He blurted out that line of text!
March 4, 1909 (the first year of the Xuantong reign).

XX actually disagrees with my studying abroad? Am I really wrong? He clearly said that people in the future will live a prosperous and stable life thanks to the power of science...

Furthermore, this morning, I finally opened all sixty-four acupoints, achieving the Lesser Supernatural Power degree!

"The first year of the Xuantong reign?!"

Duan Xinglian felt like his brain was about to crash!
"The time when Patriarch Haoguang achieved the Lesser Divine Power degree... was actually brought forward by a full two years?!"

"Senior brother..."

Duan Xinglian slowly closed the journal.

Clearly, all these changes began after Master Haoguang encountered that "XX" whose name was obscured by some power and could not be seen at all!

Duan Xinglian guessed without even thinking who 'xx' referred to.

After all, the Three Truths of the Same Month Token is still in the hands of his senior brother Mo Yu, and he has personally witnessed Mo Yu activating the token and communicating with the "past".

It's obvious that Senior Brother Mo Yu made some changes to the "past"!
However, Duan Xinglian never believed it at all!
After all, from his perspective, Senior Brother Mo Yu himself was a transmigrator from the "future" who traveled here using his supreme causal supernatural powers. Everything he does now is, in itself, an alteration of the "past" for this era!

Although Mo Yu actually traveled from another world, the claim of "traveling from the future" was just a pretext he used to deceive people for convenience.

But no one knows this.

Whether it was Duan Xingling, Hai Shan, or the others, they all tacitly believed that Mo Yu's descriptions of his supernatural abilities were a smokescreen to mislead the enemy.

The battle is all about intelligence!

The specific effects of one's innate supernatural power are a crucial secret that any seeker of the Dharma must keep absolutely confidential!

Especially the unpredictable and mysterious causal supernatural powers!
Knowing its specific mechanism of action, or not knowing its true mechanism at all, could very well be the difference between "life" and "death" in a life-or-death battle.

Therefore, even though everyone thought that Mo Yu was "lying," they still instinctively chose to cooperate with his performance.

Although Mo Yu repeatedly emphasized that she was not lying.

But everyone had an expression that said, "Yes, yes, you're right, we believe you," but in reality, not one of them believed him.

Including Huang, the chief of Wanye, who had been lurking and observing since Baili Yuan's death!
……

A bustling commercial street in a coastal city.

Unlike typical villains who have suffered defeats, this chief under the command of the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries did not hide in some unknown dark corner of the world, secretly plotting some conspiracy.

He simply and naturally transformed into a black cat, lazily perched on the shoulder of the girl Shi Guagua, and strolled leisurely through the bustling crowd.

The passersby around them, whether they are ordinary people in a hurry or seekers of the Dharma who occasionally pass by, may meet their eyes one second, but the next second they will completely forget about them.

The electronic cameras scattered throughout the streets, and even the surveillance arrays engraved in the corners, completely ignored their existence.

They were completely invisible on the surveillance footage.

"boss……"

Shi Guagua looked utterly dejected, lowered her voice, and complained to the black cat on her shoulder:
"Are we... really okay to be walking around on the street like this? I feel like my heart could be ripped out at any moment."

"fine."

On his shoulder, the black cat-like creature, Desolate, lazily yawned and replied again, "It's not time for me to die yet. The law of cause and effect will automatically cover up all traces for me. As long as I'm not foolish enough to deliberately appear before the Three Truths Dharma Gate, they won't be able to find me under the law of cause and effect."

"Forehead"

Shi Guagua, munching on her takoyaki, blinked and somewhat guiltily "hinted":

"Um... Boss, have you... considered turning yourself in? The Nine Realms Sect has already been wiped out. It's unlikely that the two of us can turn things around now, right?"

"I heard that turning yourself in can get you lenient treatment these days. Why don't you just turn yourself in? That way, a nobody like me should... be let off the hook, right?"

Huang glanced at her, a hint of helplessness flashing in his cat-like eyes, but he didn't really care about her rebellious words.

“I haven’t lost yet. If the Nine Realms Gate is gone, so be it. Our foundation has never been in the Nine Realms Gate, but in the Dharma Corpse.”

"When the final battle of cause and effect fully commences, the King of Nirvana will personally descend upon this world. At that time, the endless flow of Nirvana blood will allow these dead to be reborn as Dharma corpses and rise anew! That will be the moment that truly determines victory or defeat!"

"Moreover, as long as a part of the Corpse Immortal of Myriad Industries still exists in the world, at worst, it can lie dormant for another thousand years or so, just like it did a thousand years ago, and seek another opportunity to descend. Anyway, the lifespan of a Dharma Corpse is endless, and we... can afford to wait."

"Although... what you said seems reasonable and well-founded, boss... but..."

Shi Guagua picked up the black cat from her shoulder, held it up in front of her, and directly exposed her, "Why do I feel like when you said that, boss, it seemed... a little unsure of yourself, like you were just being stubborn?"

Prisoner: "..."

This may sound harsh, but it is an undeniable fact.

Not to mention that in the six years leading up to the final battle, he dared not show his face at all, and could only watch helplessly as the Three Truths Sect continuously accumulated strength, calmly prepared for battle, and cleaned up all the contingency plans he had laid before.

Just considering the opponent's star-studded lineup, it would be hard for him to honestly say that he could win.

Mo Yu, the Time Traveler!
Lord of Penglai, Haishan!
Master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion - Tiger Rope!
Three supreme supernatural beings who stand at the pinnacle of the current world of supernatural powers!
In addition, there is the Demon Lord of the Unprincipled Law, Gao Haoguang, whose death has never been witnessed and is currently hiding somewhere, possibly to be brought back at any time!
Any one of these four people would require him to go all out to deal with them.

Among them are two freaks, Mo Yu and Gao Haoguang. Even in a one-on-one duel, he is not confident of winning!
These four together...

Even if the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries really resurrected a hundred great-power level Dharma Corpses, so what?
Against monsters of this caliber, ordinary powerful cultivators are merely cannon fodder used to deplete the opponent's mana.

The final battle will still turn into a situation where he fights four against one.

That would really get you killed instantly!

Huang, through the supernatural power of "no-self Dharma form", reconnected with the "past", Pan Nanjun, who was from the same era as Gao Haoguang.

"The Three Truths Sect will definitely alter cause and effect to guide Gao Haoguang back in the final battle of cause and effect! I don't ask you to take advantage of this opportunity to cause them any harm. But you must do everything in your power to stop them and leave Gao Haoguang in the past! Prevent him from returning in the final battle!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Pan Nanjun was quite helpless; this troublesome matter had been pressing him for a while now.
"Even if you are the strongest incarnation, frequently using the [Great Reincarnation Technique] will still cause damage. I'm already preparing, so don't rush me."

Huang was also helpless.

He is now in a state of "dying as soon as he shows his face".

Whether or not he was injured by the [Great Reincarnation Technique] was completely meaningless to him.

In any case, he will not be able to personally intervene for the next six years.

If Gao Haoguang is successfully kept in the past.

So, he can still struggle a little.

In the final battle, the powerful magic corpse restrained Hai Shan and Hu Dasheng, two of the world's greatest masters.

If I were to fight Mo Yu head-on, at least I'd have a chance of winning.

But what if Gao Haoguang really does return then...?

Then he really has no choice but to lie down.

Let's see if the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries can unleash his power and kill one of them instantly.
