Not only the Taoist, but also the elite soldiers next to him who have practiced the Martial Path and tempered their bodies didn't hesitate at all, quickly unloading their heavy equipment and running madly with simple exoskeleton gear.
Looking at their proficiency, it's obvious they've done this quite often.
In fact, it's exactly the case. Those who didn't immediately listen to Zhang Tongxuan's words are already dead, and those left are the ones with quick wits and quick reflexes.
Section Chief Chen squinted his eyes, watching the rapidly descending fireball in mid-air. After a brief calculation, he said with some surprise, "The target of this fireball is the Queen Mother of the West's Tomb."
Zhang Tongxuan's veins bulged around his eyes, and the whites of his eyes, under the operation of True Qi inside him, outlined countless lines like silk threads.
"Celestial Eye, open!"
A green light burst from his eyes, illuminating the void.
Zhang Tongxuan said vibrantly, "It's a Buddha!"
He then had a puzzled look on his face, wondering why this Buddha felt somewhat familiar, but the power felt from its aura was beyond his imagination, making it hard for him to make sense of it at the moment.
Beside him, Section Chief Chen was uncertain and said, "Could it be that the Ancient Immortal Gods are beginning to return from the heavens?"
"It's still early; Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism has only just appeared, and although returning in such an environment will give an initial advantage, it's extremely dangerous."
They both had excavated many Immortal God's Tombs and understood that those Immortal Gods had traveled to extremely distant places in pursuit of the Extraordinary Tide. Such long distances require significant effort to return.
This state is very susceptible to being killed unless they possess a supreme treasure for protection, which could traverse the stars. Such treasures are rare indeed.
"Let's retreat first; this place will be affected."
After ensuring their people had all run off, Section Chief Chen nodded slightly.
With a slight touch of their feet, their True Qi flowed within their bodies, and they retreated rapidly for a thousand meters.
"The True Qi generated inside is incredibly convenient."
While moving, Section Chief Chen continuously marveled.
Hearing this, Zhang Tongxuan rolled his eyes, "You've been in Path Determination for quite some time, yet you're still so amazed."
Fifteen seconds later, under the shocked gazes of the people, the fireball plummeted straight into the Queen Mother of the West's Tomb.
Bang!!
A colossal explosion reverberated, and the shockwave was visible to the naked eye as it began to expand in all directions.
Like an Earth Dragon turning over, the whole land was quaking, with rocks trembling and gigantic clouds of smoke rising swiftly.
Next, amidst the desperate efforts to stabilize their bodies, the crowd watched as a massive mushroom cloud slowly ascended.
Facing the rapidly advancing shockwave, Zhang Tongxuan waved his hand, and an invisible wall of Qi appeared before him, blocking the dirt and smoke lifted by the wave.
He said grimly, "I can feel a very strong Power erupting inside!"
Section Chief Chen, standing like a rock, was a bit speechless at his words.
"Listening to you, it's as if I didn't hear a thing."
"Enough banter, I'm saying there's unfathomable Power contained inside." Zhang Tongxuan formed a hand sign, and then swept his hands, dispersing the surrounding smoke completely.
"That's a true Bodhisattva! Truly ranked among Immortal Gods!"
Section Chief Chen's expression turned grave too, "Has it condensed the Human Immortal Path Fruit?"
"I don't know, but it makes my heart race."
Zhang Tongxuan retrieved a longsword from his sleeve, which was the Celestial Master Sword, the treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Section Chief Chen observed and said, "Every time I see you pull such a long sword from your sleeve, it feels odd. Where exactly do you hide it?"
"Sumeru's Mustard Seed Technique. If you devote yourself to cultivation for a period of time, you might be able to display it too."
Ignoring the verbose yet serious-looking Section Chief Chen,
Zhang Tongxuan took a step forward, sprinting toward the Queen Mother of the West's Tomb, and as he moved, the Celestial Master Sword in his hand gradually awakened, with silvery sword glow flowing along its blade, containing Power that made even Section Chief Chen feel apprehensive.
"When I previously saw you wield this sword, I didn't see it exhibit such mysterious phenomena."
"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism has just started to reveal itself; although extremely rare, it provides an opportunity for ancient supreme treasures to gradually awaken."
As Zhang Tongxuan arrived at the edge of the large crater created by the fireball's impact, before he could see clearly, he saw a gigantic golden palm climbing onto the edge of the crater, trying to ascend.
Zhang Tongxuan's gaze sharpened, and he thrust the longsword swiftly.
Ping!
The sword emitted a dragon-like sound, echoing through the sky, as the silver sword glow of the Celestial Master Sword brightened sharply, falling along with Zhang Tongxuan's motion.
Immediately, Zhang Tongxuan saw another golden palm stretching out amidst the swirling smoke, flicking towards the longsword.
Bong!!
With a resonating sound, Zhang Tongxuan felt that his Celestial Master Sword, which was supposed to cut through iron like mud, had struck the hardest thing on earth, and then was rebounded with tremendous force upwards.
As for that golden palm, apart from a tiny, minuscule laceration, it showed no further response and instantly closed, returning to its original state.
Just as he was about to act further, he heard a familiar voice carrying surprise.
"Celestial Master Zhang, why attack as soon as you see me?"
Zhang Tongxuan paused in his motion, finally realizing who the owner of this voice was, and exclaimed extremely surprised.
"Lu Ren?!"
The next moment, just as Zhang Tongxuan saw Lu Ren exert slight pressure with his fingers, the six-foot tall Bodhisattva Dharma Body in Zhang Tongxuan's eyes flexibly flipped out of the smoke-covered crater.
Looking at the face, who else could it be but Lu Ren.
"You… you…"
Zhang Tongxuan stuttered, unable to speak for a moment. He truly couldn't have imagined that the person who had clearly perished on the Moon over three years ago would descend from the sky at this moment and reveal a true Bodhisattva Dharma Body.
At this moment, Lu Ren was emitting smoke all over due to high-speed friction with air, as well as a blazing aura akin to a burning furnace.
Lu Ren took a deep breath, gradually calming the turbulent Qi and Blood within him.
He had been rather reckless; such an unbridled descent from several thousand meters above could have shattered his body if not for the Ten Earth True Qi within him serving as grounding.
