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

Chapter 570 Where Did You Go?

Blue Star, China, the Juxia supercarrier.

Feiliu Airport Road remains under strict military control following last night's "terrorist attack."

The temporary single room that had been used to contact Mo Yu had already been demolished overnight, and all valuable items in it had been moved.

At this moment, this laboratory, which represents the highest level of technology on Earth, presents an extremely incongruous and peculiar scene.

Dozens of scientists, dressed in pristine white cleanroom suits and representing the nation's top intellectual resources, are setting up research groups around the central cylindrical glass wall.

Beside them were seven or eight elderly Taoist priests who had been "invited" overnight.

They felt extremely uncomfortable with their surroundings; their wide-sleeved robes seemed out of place here, so they could only stroke their beards and try to appear calm.

The reason for this peculiar sight is an ordinary wooden chair behind the glass wall, and... a talisman pasted under the chair seat.

Lianfeng stood in the center of the crowd, dressed in a crisp white military officer's uniform.

"Reporting to the commander,"

A young scientist in charge of material analysis adjusted his glasses and reported, "After scanning and molecular testing, there were no observable changes in the physical form and chemical composition of the chair; it is just an ordinary birch chair."

"Energy Field Analysis Group Report,"

On the other side, an elderly professor with gray hair said in a deep voice, "There is a continuous and stable energy field around the talisman that we have never seen before. The frequency of fluctuations within the field is extremely low and cannot be classified into any known energy form. Further analysis is still needed to determine the specific details."

“Material scanning shows that the surface of the talisman is composed of Xuan paper, cinnabar, and trace amounts of gold powder. However, due to concerns about damaging its structure, we dare not perform physical sampling and cannot ensure that there are differences in its internal materials.”

"Ah."

Lianfeng nodded repeatedly, her pen flying across the notebook in her hand as she jotted down notes and summaries.

After everyone in the research team finished their reports, she looked up and turned her gaze to the Taoist priests who had been arguing for so long.

"Esteemed Taoist priests, is there any result yet?"

The old Taoist priests looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all quite bewildered when they were "invited" out of their respective Taoist temples last night.

Then they were told that aliens had invaded, and then a self-proclaimed "Wudang disciple," a living immortal, single-handedly destroyed the invading alien mechs...

This is fucking ridiculous... If they hadn't been on the aircraft carrier and seen the video, they would have thought someone was maliciously playing a prank on them, these old folks.

Adhering to the fine tradition of "better to die than to die," the old guys began to exchange frantic glances.

'Old Zhong, he's one of your Wudang disciples.'

"Yes, and he even claims to be Zhang Zhenren's grand-disciple. In that line of seniority, shouldn't you call him Grandmaster?"

'If you don't take responsibility for this, who will?'

In the end, an old Taoist priest who was quite robust, with gray hair and beard but still had a ruddy complexion and prominent temples, was subtly chosen by the crowd.

Old Master Zhong sighed, took a couple of steps, and finally couldn't hold back. He turned around and glared fiercely at the group of uncivilized old men.

The meaning in his eyes was clear: When we get back, I, the Daoist, will go door-to-door and 'spar' with you all!
This is not because he is narrow-minded.

But... damn it! When it comes to talismans, the Celestial Master's Mansion is the ancestor, while the Shangqing and Maoshan sects are the experts!

He cultivated himself through martial arts at Wudang!
Although he also reads Taoist scriptures and draws a few talismans, surely it shouldn't be his turn to be the first to do this kind of thing?!

The group of old Taoist priests, however, kept their eyes down, seemingly lost in thought, or were studying the ventilation ducts of the cabin, showing absolutely no embarrassment.

That's hilarious! They've already mentioned your Wudang name, so if you don't go up there, who will?

"Ugh……"

Zhong Laodao was quite helpless with his group of unreliable teammates, so he could only bite the bullet and perform a Taoist ritual to Lianfeng: "Chief Lianfeng, we are ashamed. The runes on it are not any known talismans in our Taoist scriptures."

"However, it can be roughly seen that the name of this talisman is 'Return to the Past'. The three-hook jade ring with the sun pattern on the talisman should be a symbol, possibly a series, or possibly the symbol of a certain sect."

"As for anything else, we can't figure it out either."

"Return?"

Lianfeng pondered the name, then slightly raised her head. "Is this pattern of a three-pointed jade ring sun from your Wudang sect?"

Master Zhong immediately shook his head: "It is not something that belongs to our Wudang sect, nor has it been seen by other Taoist sects."

Lianfeng stroked her smooth chin, lost in thought.

With so little information, she was unable to discern any further details.

However, judging from the name "Gui Lai Qu", it should be a kind of talisman for movement, or it may be a coordinate.

"Thank you all for your help, fellow Daoists." Lianfeng nodded politely.

Old Master Zhong was smiling and about to ask if they could go back and hurry up and comprehend the "Martial God's Origin".

He's in a hurry to get home and practice martial arts!
Lianfeng suddenly changed the subject: "Master Zhong, I've heard that the Wudang Sect is known for its martial arts and has a profound foundation. You are also a leading figure in martial arts in this era. This time, you've been studying the 'Martial God's Origin Scripture,' so you must have... gained something from it?"

"Ahem, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Zhongli blushed and chuckled, “The ‘Martial God Classic’ is profound and extensive. I am dull-witted and have not been able to comprehend it even after reading it once in one night. I really can’t say that I have any insights.”

"is it?"

Lianfeng smiled broadly, as if to say, "I believe you," and then asked, "Could you please demonstrate the internal energy of a Xiantian martial artist for me, Daoist Master?"

Old Zhong's eyes twitched, and he turned back to look at his old friends again.

As a result, these old guys still looked completely calm and had a clear conscience, as if to say: We really didn't sell you out, you just couldn't hide it yourself.

"Commander Lianfeng, you are wise to see the truth..."

Old Master Zhong was quite helpless. The country had issued an order, and had so generously shared such a divine object as the "Martial God's Origin Scripture." He couldn't very well refuse if he was just asked to demonstrate it.

"Then... this humble Taoist will make a fool of himself."

He drew a circle with his hands, and a visible interplay of blue and white energy appeared out of thin air in his palm.

Although the energy used by Mo Yu last night was completely different in nature, it did have some similarities.

Lianfeng wrote something else in her notebook, then pointed to the talisman with her pen:
"Master Zhong, do you feel that this energy can activate that talisman?"

Old Master Zhong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I can vaguely sense the existence of its internal Qi field, but I certainly cannot activate it."

He paused, then added, "However, based on my rudimentary understanding of the 'Martial God's Codex,' if one can reach the Grandmaster realm of the unity of heaven and man, one should be able to try using innate qi."

He already had decades of martial arts experience and was very familiar with controlling his strength.

Therefore, as soon as his internal energy was generated, it quickly condensed into internal strength. After a night of internal cultivation, he successfully mastered the internal energy and broke through to the Innate Realm.

However, considering the lifespan of a martial artist with innate abilities...

He felt that if he worked hard, he should have a chance to cross the threshold of harmony between man and nature in this lifetime.

Leaving aside the incredible and miraculous abilities of the Celestial Master, just considering his lifespan skyrocketing to two hundred and forty years... that's three lifetimes for an ordinary person!

That's why he was in a hurry to go back and practice martial arts.

"Thank you for your cooperation, fellow Taoist priests."

Lianfeng closed his notebook, a slight smile appearing on his face. "I have already arranged breakfast for everyone. You Daoist masters can go directly to the restaurant for your meal, and then you can continue to study the 'Martial God's Origin Scripture'."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhong beamed with joy and was about to lead the way in making a run for it.

Lianfeng's voice rang out again: "However, I would like to ask all Daoist masters to record all their insights and experiences during their meditation, as this is of great importance to the Divine Land."

"It should, it should!"

Master Zhong clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

The elderly Taoist priests emerged one after another with incredible speed, faster than any sprinter, showing no signs of old age whatsoever.

Lianfeng watched their figures disappear into the distance, her pen lightly tapping on the notebook, which was already mostly used up in just one night, as if she were deep in thought.

"Ta Tata..."

A tall, slender female soldier, dressed in a military green flight suit and sporting a head of striking burgundy hair, strode up to her side.

"Reporting, Rose has come to report. Please give instructions, Commander!"

Lianfeng turned her head and returned a salute that wasn't exactly standard.

Du Qiangwei, the carrier of the super gene 'Space-Time Rose'. In Lianfeng's calculations, this name has the highest priority.

"Rose, you've come at the right time. Regarding the spatial fluctuations last night, you..."

Lianfeng was about to say something.

suddenly--

In the center of the laboratory, the wooden chair, along with the red-and-gold talisman beneath it, vanished.

Du Qiangwei's reaction was incredibly fast!
She didn't even look to see what was happening; her body's instincts had already made her instantly pass Lianfeng and deliver a swift side kick, aiming at the air behind her—which should have been empty!

Her long, slender legs, encased in black military boots, stirred up a gust of wind!
A hand casually grasped her ankle.

"Rose, stop! She's not an enemy!"

Lianfeng sensed something was wrong, turned around to look back, and quickly gave the order.

It was indeed a familiar figure to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu, the hero, released his grip on Qiangwei's ankle, showing no surprise that the talisman he had left behind would appear in the research lab.

With such a large number of talismans, and since he didn't hide them, it's perfectly normal that they were discovered.

"Da da!"

Rose took several steps back, watching him warily.

"Morning!"

Lianfeng gave a slightly awkward smile and raised her hand in greeting.

Although everyone knew the truth, they were still somewhat in the wrong for touching what others had left behind.

"That wasn't wormhole transport, was it?" Rose suddenly interjected.

Mo Yu's gaze lingered for a moment on Qiangwei's flight suit, which accentuated her curves and showcased her beautiful figure.

Judging from her long, wine-red hair, one could roughly guess who she was.

Then, ignoring her, he turned to Lianfeng and said, "That talisman is still stuck on the chair. You haven't... transferred it to anyone or anything important, have you?"

Lianfeng glanced at the chair that should have been inside the glass wall, roughly understood what he meant, and shook her head: "We didn't touch it. But what exactly is the technical principle behind it?"

“Directly swapping the two substances in space, yet without any spatial fluctuations.” She looked at Du Qiangwei beside her.

Rose's expression turned somewhat cold at being ignored, but she nodded slightly, indicating that she had not sensed any spatial fluctuations either.

This made Lianfeng even more curious.

This completely contradicts her understanding!

However, Mo Yu, one of the heroes, showed no intention of explaining.

He waved casually.

A computer, as big as a wardrobe, appeared out of thin air on the laboratory floor.

"Great supernatural powers... you won't be able to figure them out in a short time. It's more important to focus on martial arts first, and then combine them with your technological equipment to improve your individual combat capabilities as soon as possible."

He then pointed to the mainframe: "Then, study your opponents carefully."

"Knowing yourself and your enemy, even if it doesn't guarantee victory in every battle, will at least... reduce many unnecessary sacrifices and misjudgments in the war ahead."

Lianfeng and Du Qiangwei both looked at the main unit at the same time.

"This is……"

“I salvaged it from the Taotie warship; there should be a lot of useful information inside,” he said casually.

Lianfeng's pupils constricted: "The Taotie warship? After you left last night, you didn't go directly to the Pluto Worm Bridge, did you?!"
