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.
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.
Chapter 135: Ishtar Integrates Mesopotamia
Southern Vermilion Bird Base.
At this time, the Suzaku Base has undergone significant changes compared to before. The biggest change is that there is a stadium-like building in the center of the base, which is much larger than the central stadium in a first-tier city.
This is a training ground specially prepared for superhumans. Only a large enough space can allow superhumans of level two and above to engage in all-round combat.
"Go, Officer Lin! Our team is the strongest!"
"Yes! Our team is the strongest!"
"Go, Captain Mark! Our Special Support Team is the strongest!"
"That's right! Captain Mark, let's go! Use your ultimate move!"
"Ouch! Get out of the way, don't get hit!"
"Officer Lin has unleashed his ultimate move!"
At this moment, the entire stadium was filled with cheers and shouts of encouragement. Every soldier clenched their fists, staring intently, wishing they could rush up there themselves.
boom!
Click!
In the training field, a cyan figure and a red figure constantly crossed paths. Flames and cyan winds overturned the soil on the field, creating one large crater after another.
"Ha!" Lin Yong's fists were covered in a blue whirlwind as he smashed them towards Mark, who was covered in flames. The whirlwind directly broke through the flames on Mark's body and struck him. Mark was sent flying backward, but he quickly recovered and charged forward again.
"Again!" Mark's face was solemn. He spread his arms and gathered elemental power in his hands. Flames shot out from his hands, and he used himself as a propulsion device to rush forward at an extremely fast speed. He then gathered flames on his feet and kicked out.
Lin Yong, enveloped in wind element, dodged the attack by turning into a blur. He then flew up under the wind element, conjuring wind element bullets with both hands and continuously hurling them at Mark below.
"That's blatant cheating!" Upon seeing this, Mark drew circles with both hands, and fire elements instantly condensed into a barrier.
Rumble rumble rumble...
It was as if one high-explosive rocket after another was bombarding the ground, and the entire training ground was filled with a layer of smoke and dust.
The training ground combat was a contest of skills, and neither side used any equipment.
"Oh no! Captain Mark is going to lose again!" Erica stood up and shouted, pounding on the railing.
"Sigh, yes, Captain Mark has been knocked down seven times in a row. The wind element's speed boost is still too great, and his flight speed is also the fastest. Instructor Lin always manages to outrun Captain Mark while he's flying his kite." Mo Cheng sighed.
Feixue shook her head, her voice full of envy: "Captain Mark has also made great progress. He has surpassed us in such a short time. Talent is something that doesn't make sense."
Ran Bing couldn't help but sigh, "That's true. At the beginning, Captain Mark was easily defeated, but now he can hold out against Officer Lin for so long."
“Mark and Lieutenant Lin have already reached the peak of the third rank, and will soon reach the fourth rank,” Jing Nan said, leaning against the railing.
Her expression was somewhat complicated. She was still the commander of the aviation office, but she had changed from piloting the lighthouse to piloting the 'air combat fortress'.
She failed to obtain the Immortal Mark and remains merely an ordinary extraordinary being with awakened abilities.
Meanwhile, her adoptive father, Morgan, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and is now in a nursing home. Although he has her care, his physical functions have deteriorated to a certain extent, and he may pass away at any time.
