At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 135 The Immortals Descend, and They Are Actually Qilin Auspicious Beasts

"Have we arrived yet?" True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang rushed out of the pure white light cave, and his vision suddenly opened up. Green mountains and clear waters came into view. Looking further into the distance, there was a human city with a white background. The smooth roads and vehicles he had never seen before made him pause for a moment.

After regaining his senses, he looked around and saw that the immortals who had been traveling with him had also emerged from the 'dimensional passage' and were looking around.

The elemental forces contained in the air were not much different from those in Teyvat, but these elemental forces were unusable for them, as if the elemental forces were repelling them, the immortals.

This surprised the immortals, who, apart from demons, possessed the highest elemental affinity among all life forms, since most of them were elemental beings.

Elemental forces are to them what fish and water are like.

The current environment is like a fish drowning in water for them.

In that moment of astonishment, these elemental forces became close again, as if the previous sense of alienation was just an illusion.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked down at Wudang Mountain below and asked, "Could it be that we have directly appeared in the territory of a mortal sect in this world?"

Did their arrival provoke hostility from the humans here? Why are they so enraged, even ready to wage war against them?
Ge Chenlang City True Monarch shook her head: "I think it's probably a misunderstanding. Our sudden appearance has left the mortals here confused about right and wrong, and whether there is any danger." She has been traveling in the mortal world for a long time and knows very well what the mortals are thinking.

It must be that the appearance of these immortals caused some strange phenomenon, making mortals feel that their lives were threatened, which is why they did this.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then let's just explain it clearly," said the Demon-Slaying Great Sage Xiao briefly.

The moment the immortals fell out of the 'dimensional portal,' the portal closed, and the strange phenomenon disappeared, leaving the Taoist priests and tourists on Wudang Mountain, who were preparing for battle, astonished.

The old Taoist priest's lips trembled as he looked at the group of 'humans' emerging from the dark void: "What's going on? Are they...humans? Or gods? Or extraordinary beings from another world?"

As extraordinary individuals who obtain immortal runes, they receive secrets from the nation unknown to ordinary people, including those of humans from other worlds.

Furthermore, there are quite a few humans in this other world; in Xia Kingdom alone, there are over 100,000 people from this other world.

These alien humans are basically no different from Earthlings, and there is no reproductive isolation. The absence of reproductive isolation means that Earthlings and alien humans may share a common origin.

This origin could be 'gods', since many mythologies contain stories of gods creating humankind.

Of course, it is also possible that humans on Earth came from other worlds hundreds of thousands of years ago, or that humans on Earth originated from other alien worlds.

The origin of humankind has been a subject of intense debate in the scientific community for a long time, and even the theory of evolution has been revived as a hypothesis about the origin of humankind.

"An extraordinary being... *gulp*, could the black hole just now have been caused by an extraordinary being?" Chen Sihang swallowed hard. The kind of aura and strange phenomenon just now could probably only be achieved by someone at the fifth rank or above.

He had also watched the combat videos of fifth-tier superhumans very carefully. Each of them was a humanoid nuclear weapon capable of destroying a city, and they could also cause strange phenomena through elemental power.

However, he was actually relieved that it was someone of this caliber of superhuman ability.

The advancement of extraordinary individuals is also a continuous process of moving closer to the divine, especially in terms of morality. They are committed to saving the world and sacrificing themselves to save humanity. This is their rudimentary understanding of the divine in Wudang Mountain.

The stronger the extraordinary individual, the more noble their character.

"Put them away! Put your swords away!" The old Taoist priest shouted to the Wudang Mountain disciples as he saw the powerful superhuman beings descending to the ground.

Because he saw that those extraordinary beings in the sky all had 'eyes of gods,' which proved that they were all 'near-gods,' it was normal for them to cause strange phenomena to appear on Wudang Mountain.

At the same time, my heart was pounding.

Holy crap... so many 'near-gods'? That's outrageous! There are only two in the entire Xia Kingdom, and there are seven here, a full seven! They're like the Calabash Brothers!

In Taoism, the "Eye of God" is also known as "Immortal Fate." Ordinary immortal beings with extraordinary runes are considered lucky if they can reach the fourth or fifth level.

Although a fifth-tier being can live for three or four hundred years and can boast about being a 'half-immortal,' they don't actually possess any power other than the skill of using elemental forces.

Although it's theoretically possible for those with immortal runes to reach the sixth rank, it's only in theory.

Only those who are "close to gods" can truly reach the sixth level or above by following the proper steps. They can directly comprehend the "Dao" (divine knowledge) through the "eye of God" and reach the sixth level, achieving true immortality.

“The Eye of God… they are all…” The Taoists swallowed hard, sheathed their swords, and quickly stepped back, clearing the front courtyard in front of the Zixiao Palace so that the celestial beings could descend to the ground.

The tourists gasped: "Hiss... It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. They're not monsters, but a group of national guardians."

"They all have the Eye of God! And look at their ancient-style clothes, could they all be from our Xia Kingdom? My goodness!"

"Seven... That's incredible. I thought our country only had God of War Tao and Master Yu. I didn't expect there to be more."

The tourists instantly became enthusiastic, but they didn't tactlessly crowd forward. Instead, they quickly calmed down and reluctantly retreated a distance towards the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Although they are fanatical about high-level superhumans, they are not blind to the truth. A group of 'near-gods' descending on Wudang Mountain must mean something big is going on. It's better not to know things that aren't your business, so as not to cause trouble for them.

Some of the extraordinary individuals secretly took out their phones to take a few photos as souvenirs before reluctantly descending the mountain.

Wudang Mountain quickly returned to its previous bustling state, but the fervor in the air did not disappear; on the contrary, it became even stronger.

At the same time, the national organization also received the news, and people from the 'Extraordinary Service Center' and the 'Extraordinary Legion' rushed towards Wudang Mountain.

The 'Extraordinary Person Service Center' is essentially a service station and police station for extraordinary individuals. This organization manages civilian extraordinary individuals, while the Extraordinary Legion is a pure military force.

After all, the presence of seven previously unseen "near-gods" was enough to excite the entire nation.

You have to understand that there are only a handful of 'near-gods' in the whole world. There are only three in Europe and two in South America. Other countries must have them, but they just haven't been discovered yet.

For example, the group of high-level superhumans who appeared at the Guanghai City Hotel before were very likely 'near-gods'.

There are already more than double digits of extraordinary individuals within the Xia Kingdom, not to mention the rest of the world. It's too easy for 'near-gods' to go unnoticed, since extraordinary individuals are now widespread and most of the Xia Kingdom's population are extraordinary.

When the immortals descended to the ground, to their surprise, the mortals were not only not nervous, but were extremely enthusiastic and worshipful, which puzzled them greatly.

They've only just arrived in this world and haven't done anything yet, so how come the mortals already look almost the same as the people of Liyue when they first saw them?

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun glanced around and looked at the people with the strongest elemental power fluctuations present, and said: "I am Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal. This is my first time descending on this place. Could the person in charge of this place explain to me what this place is, the distribution of towns, and the cultural customs? I will certainly give you a reward."

The old Taoist priest hurriedly stepped forward and excitedly said, "I, I, I am the head of Wudang Mountain. My name is Zhong Qingxuan, and my Taoist name is Qingxuan Daoren."

What did he hear?
The True Lord Who Borrows Clouds and Wind! The Three-Eyed, Five-Manifestation Immortal! And he even calls himself 'this Immortal'!
Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! This is like a celestial being descending to earth!

He had no doubts; after all, gods existed, so why couldn't immortals exist? He had long believed that immortals definitely existed.

One can tell the abilities and strengths of immortals from their titles, and those who can obtain the title of 'True Lord' are no ordinary immortals.

The fact that they could ask where this place was suggests that the immortals had just been born and were unaware of the situation in the Xia Kingdom.

"Hiss..." The Taoist priests' eyes widened, and they gasped wildly. Immortals! They were actually immortals!
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with a high-level superhuman calling himself an immortal.

Even ordinary immortal beings with immortal markings can declare themselves immortals if they travel back to ancient times.

"Immortals, please come inside to rest. Let me explain slowly," Zhong Qingxuan said hurriedly, bowing deeply, his mustache bristling with excitement.

When the immortals arrive, the Wudang Mountain Taoist lineage takes off; when the immortals arrive, a powerful backer arrives.

"Then I'll have to trouble you." True Lord Lishui Dieshan nodded.

"Go do your homework, what are you all doing gathered here?" Chen Sihang said sternly to the Wudang Mountain disciples who were reluctant to leave.

"Yes, Master Chen." The Taoists left reluctantly, hoping to catch a few more glimpses of the immortals and perhaps even gain some affinity with them in the future.

However, the Taoist priests couldn't stay idle; they were constantly updating their WeChat Moments, official accounts, Kuaishou, and Douyin.

It wasn't just the Taoist priests; the tourists were also frantically updating their social media.

The news of the immortals descending upon Wudang Mountain spread throughout the entire Xia Kingdom in just a few seconds, and even the neighboring countries knew about it.

Because the countries surrounding Xia are all relatively weak, they are all seeking Xia's protection, and Xia's social network and the networks of the surrounding countries have formed a network.

Moreover, some countries have even disintegrated after experiencing a small disaster. For example, the island nation south of Xia Kingdom has completely disintegrated, with each island becoming its own country.

These densely packed island nations gradually evolved into city-states.

The relatively small number of extraordinary individuals from small countries naturally became the leaders of their city-states. Even those who were awakened, who were numerous in the Xia Kingdom, were the backbone of these smaller nations.

"Please, please." The old Taoist priest's face was almost splitting with a smile, and Chen Sihang quickly took out the tea leaves that the state specially supplied to them, these immortal beings with divine markings.

"I thought I'd lost it." Shen He said without any emotion as she looked at the 'Eye of God' in her hand. The 'Eye of God' had fallen off her body just as she emerged from the dimensional portal.

Chen Sihang, who was brewing tea, looked at the 'fairy' who was cool and ethereal, especially the 'Eye of God' in her hand. His expression was full of complexity. He thought he had moved the gods and been granted the 'Eye of God', but it turned out that he hadn't. He was so excited at the time.

The immortals sat around two peach wood tables, each with a teacup in front of them steaming with white vapor. The immortals did not stand on ceremony.

With their discerning eye, they could naturally tell that these tea leaves were made from elemental plants through roasting, but the processing was far too crude, a complete waste of raw materials. If they were given the opportunity to make them, they could produce superior celestial tea.

The old Taoist priest bowed deeply to the immortals and said, "Before I explain the changes in the world to you immortals, could you please tell me your names so that I can set up memorial tablets for you?"

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun took a sip of tea and said, "Offering memorial tablets, although it does not bring any real benefit to us immortals, I would not mind if it could give you some psychological comfort."

"As I have said before, my name is True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng."

"My name is True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang." True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang said calmly. His calm personality was modeled after the Emperor. The Emperor was not only his master god but also his teacher. He was the Emperor's eldest disciple, and all his immortal techniques were learned from the Emperor.

"Old woman, I am the True Lord of Gechenlang City. When I walk in the mortal world, you may call me Granny Ping," Granny Ping said with a smile.

"I am the True Lord of Lishui Dieshan," the True Lord of Lishui Dieshan said with a nod.

Xiao said briefly, "I am a member of the Yaksha clan, my immortal title is Demon-Subduing Great Sage, and my real name is Xiao." His voice was very calm, and he looked very indifferent.

"My name is Shen He, a disciple of the immortals," Shen He said coldly.

"My name is Gan Yu. I am a half-immortal, and also... a Qilin." Gan Yu's voice was weak. When she said that she was a Qilin, she touched the Qilin horn on her head. Her cheeks were slightly red, as if the fact that she was a Qilin made it difficult for her to gnash her teeth in front of mortals.

'Hiss...' The old Taoist priest and Chen Sihang both took a deep breath. Qilin! Since ancient times, it has been an auspicious beast in the hearts of the people of Xia. The descent of Qilin will surely bring a prosperous age, with the people living in peace and the country's fortunes reaching their peak.

Even walking in the mountains, one can feel the auspicious energy emanating from the forests, making it a blessed place for cultivating immortality and attaining enlightenment.

"..." Gan Yu felt uncomfortable under the two pairs of burning gazes. She twirled her index fingers under the table and didn't even dare to look into their eyes.

"With such intense gazes from you two, is there perhaps something wrong with my disciple?" True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng frowned slightly.

Although they respected the immortals, they never looked at Gan Yu with such fervent eyes. Why did it seem like they wanted to devour her?

"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare." The old Taoist priest was startled, and when he came to his senses, he was covered in sweat. "It was mainly because I saw the auspicious beast Qilin that I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me, Immortal." "Oh, have you heard of Qilin here?" True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang asked in surprise.

They only knew some basic facts about the world from the Emperor, but they were unaware of its cultural customs.

"Of course, of course. In the myths and legends of the Xia Kingdom, the Qilin is an auspicious beast with many legends. Whenever the Qilin appears in the world, the people will live in peace and the country will be prosperous."

"Even if the Qilin dwells in the mountains and forests, this place will still become a blessed land. Therefore, I have been a little out of line. Please forgive me, Immortal."

As Gan Yu listened to the old Taoist priest's voice filled with adoration, her toes clenched involuntarily, her head bowed, her cheeks flushed, and her body swayed slightly involuntarily.

Being praised like this so soon after arriving in this world made her want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

"As expected of my disciple, you are legendary even in this place." True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng proudly raised his head.

“Master…” Gan Yu’s cheeks turned even redder, and her ears were burning.

Grandma Ping smiled and shook her head: "Then please start with the legends of Taoist culture, sir. Let's learn about this country from this part first, and then tell us about its history."

“Alright, alright. Although I don’t know much about other cultural minorities, I can readily draw upon Taoist mythology.” The old Taoist straightened his back.

These immortals appear to be from other worlds, not native to Xia Kingdom. However, their clothing, tone of voice, and ancient manner suggest that they have some connection with Xia Kingdom, perhaps even originating from the same source in ancient times.

"Let's start with the Three Pure Ones creating the world..."

The old Taoist priest and Chen Sihang worked together to explain Taoist mythology to the immortals, gesturing wildly as they spoke, just like storytellers in an old-fashioned teahouse.

At the same time, the immortals exchanged answers to questions they did not understand, and they would occasionally fall into deep thought, but they had already begun to accept the culture of Taoism.

The culture of Taoism is similar to that of the immortal sects and sorcerer factions in Liyue, except that the sects and contents are more complex, and they all pursue immortality and longevity, which makes the immortals feel a sense of affinity towards Taoism.

Moreover, they received a warm welcome as soon as they arrived, so it would be a lie to say they didn't feel any goodwill towards them.

"Historically speaking, we have to start from the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors..."

After the old Taoist priest finished recounting Taoist myths and legends to Chen Sihang, he began to tell the story of the Xia Dynasty's five thousand years of history.

Taoist priests are generally knowledgeable in a wide range of things, including traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, physiognomy, feng shui, agriculture, commerce, and more. These skills require a great deal of accumulated knowledge, so Taoist priests are generally very learned.

It begins with history, then moves to the modern era, the emergence of the extraordinary, the appearance of otherworldly monsters, and the manifestation of gods…

Finally, the conversation turned to the country's exceptional management and scientific and technological development.

Time passed slowly, and the sun gradually moved from overhead to the horizon. More and more tourists arrived at Wudang Mountain, but none of them went up to the Zixiao Palace at the top of the mountain. At most, they would stand on tiptoe and look up for a moment, and then leave with regret after realizing that they could not see anything.

Of course, there were also some inexplicable drones that flew up to the top of Wudang Mountain, but they were all shot down by the superhumans.

Finally, the perpetrators were caught by staff at the 'Superhuman Service Center'. They were all ordinary people with criminal records who had failed to awaken. These ordinary people were ruthlessly handcuffed and taken away in police cars.

These unawakened people always try to find crooked ways to achieve extraordinary things; such things happen all the time.

The people from the 'Extraordinary Service Center' and the 'Extraordinary Legion' had already arrived, but since they heard that the Wudang Sect Leader and Master Chen were entertaining the immortals, they did not go in directly, but waited silently.

Regardless of whether they are immortals or near-gods, even ordinary immortal-marked extraordinary individuals will be treated with the utmost respect by government officials.

After all, they represent the conscience and morality of the Xia Kingdom, and they are heroes. The Xia Kingdom has always been a country that respects and admires heroes the most.

As the sun touched the horizon and the sky darkened, the orange-red sunset shone on the bricks and tiles of the Wudang Mountain palace complex.

"Sir's explanation is very clear, and it's very important to us too. Thank you very much." Grandma Ping said kindly to the two people who were drinking water in big gulps. She had explained so much to the immortals without even having a sip of water. How sincere she was!

As he spoke, a bluish-gray teapot appeared in his hand, its surface adorned with mysterious runes.

"I can't treat you unfairly either. This is a space vessel, containing a space the size of a house. Perhaps it will be of some use to you."

After saying that, the space pot appeared in the old Taoist's arms. The old Taoist swallowed hard after realizing what was happening, and his breathing became heavy.

A space pot! A space the size of a house, the legendary 'small-sized object'!

He simply told the immortals something that everyone knew, and unexpectedly he obtained a 'celestial artifact'. Is this what our ancestors meant by 'opportunity'?

The True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun said, "We will not disturb you any longer. Perhaps we will meet again if fate allows."

As soon as he finished speaking, the immortals stood up one after another and walked out of Zixiao Palace.

"Please take care, immortals." The old Taoist priest hurriedly went to greet and see them off, clutching the 'space pot' tightly in both hands.

The immortals had already gained a general understanding of this world and this country, perhaps not in great detail, but they already had some ideas in mind and knew what they should do now.

This country is currently the most stable and peaceful place in the world.

Although many humans have awakened extraordinary powers, their understanding is still too superficial, especially their use of elemental power, which is simply appalling, no different from throwing gold nuggets at people.

Therefore, the immortals decided to build some 'paradise on earth' in the famous mountains and rivers of Xia Kingdom, and then recruit a few disciples to teach them, passing on some of their skills and techniques to those disciples.

These disciples then spread those skills, and with these immortal techniques, those extraordinary individuals would have more options when facing monsters.

However, they don't just accept disciples indiscriminately. As masters, they must do their best, so testing the disciples' character is very important. Each of them doesn't have the energy to train too many disciples; at most, each person can train three or four.

The task of spreading the skills of the immortals was also carried out by these disciples who had completed their training.

Shen He and Gan Yu are both still disciples, so the immortals do not intend for them to take on disciples. Taking on disciples would only mislead the younger generation. They should just be senior sisters who occasionally teach new disciples.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said, "I plan to go to Mount Emei to establish a celestial abode and take charge of the Shu region."

“Then I will go to Mount Tai and take charge of the north.” True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang nodded.

"I won't go and create a celestial grotto. I'll go and stay in a coastal city in Jiangsu or Zhejiang. A bustling city is more suitable for an old woman like me," said Grandma Ping, her hands behind her back.

“I’m going to the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions,” said True Lord Lishui Dieshan.

“Then I will reside in Hengshan.” Xiao said calmly. The name Hengshan was similar to Tianhengshan in Liyue, which gave him a strong sense of familiarity.

"I'll go with my master," Gan Yu said softly.

"Me too," Shen He said without any emotional fluctuation.

The immortals emerged from Zixiao Palace, looking down at the winding stone steps leading down the mountain, where numerous tourists came into view.

Tourists couldn't help but gasp in amazement upon seeing the ethereal beings with their otherworldly beauty, and some even secretly took photos.

Looking at the tourists who were exclaiming in surprise, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun sighed: "Whether in Liyue or this world, the mortals are still so disturbing to the peace and quiet. I am not used to it."

"I wonder how you, Ah Ping, have gotten used to the hustle and bustle of this mortal world."

Grandma Ping shook her head and smiled kindly, "Hehe, as long as you calm down, step into the mortal world, and experience the hustle and bustle of the mortal world, you will discover the beauty of the mortal world. The tranquility of the immortal grotto and the turmoil of the mortal world are both different life experiences."

"Ah Ping, who are you trying to impress with this old woman look? You can't even change back in front of your friends." Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said with dissatisfaction. Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun's original appearance was stunning even to the immortals, but now she had transformed into an old woman, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Anyway, I'm used to this look. Besides, it's best not to be too conspicuous when walking in the mortal world," Grandma Ping said dismissively.

True Lord Lishui Dieshan said, "Then let's say goodbye here for now. There are many things to prepare for building this grotto-heaven."

"Very well." The immortals nodded, and after speaking, they transformed into several streaks of light and flew off in different directions.

Just as the immortal flew off in all directions, a figure rushed up.

"Wait! Esteemed immortals!"

The streaks of light paused briefly, then left without lingering after clearly seeing who it was.

In just two breaths, it was already out of sight on the horizon.

They are officials, and the immortals don't really want to associate with officials.

Even the immortals of Liyue are not keen on contacting the official authorities, since doing so means getting entangled in numerous problems, which is not what they want.

"..." Tao Jing stared blankly at the immortals who flew away without hesitation, and finally sighed.

She's an immortal? She's already at the fifth rank, the highest rank that ordinary humans can reach. The sixth rank is where life levels are upgraded.

Therefore, she could sense that the life level of those immortals who had just flown away was higher than hers, and she didn't quite understand their power. This reminded her of the high-level monsters she fought in Tokyo Bay.

She felt this chilling power emanating from the immortals.

"A high-level transcendent being from another world? Can someone above the fifth rank be called an immortal?" Tao Jing sighed as she pondered.

She arrived at Wudang Mountain as quickly as possible and waited there for half a day, but to her surprise, the immortals did not want to make contact with her.

"High-level superhumans have already set their sights on protecting the world, and are unwilling to stay in just one country or have any contact with the authorities... Sigh."

Tao Jing turned around and walked down Wudang Mountain. She was calm and not discouraged by the fact that the immortals ignored her. She was used to it.

Let alone high-level superhumans, even second- and third-level superhumans may not be willing to accept the country's arrangements. After all, everyone has different ideas, as long as it is for the betterment of the country and the happiness of the people.

drop by drop...

The communicator crackled to life.

"Didn't Tao manage to communicate with them?" Yu Chengyue's voice came.

"They are unwilling to make contact with the country, but that's alright. As long as they protect the people on the land of Xia, that's enough, isn't it, Elder Yu?" Tao Jing smiled.

"Haha, you've grown a lot too. Yes, there's no need to force capable people to serve the country. As long as they're protecting people, that's enough." Yu Chengyue laughed heartily.

"Come back. I've already organized a team to explore the dungeons in Britain. The dungeons will open in two days."

"During this time, we can also have some exchanges with the superhumans in Britain."

"You're right." Tao Jing nodded. The underground city was about to open; she wondered what kind of extraordinary resources it contained.
