Chapter 68 The Abbot's Identity
The officer opened the last file, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"The third one, codenamed 'Weapon Forger,' real name Li Changsheng."
"A D-level identity, a lowly sword-making apprentice at the Great Shang Military Equipment Workshop."
"This person is assessed by our think tank as the most dangerous and most mysterious S-class seed!"
"For the past six months, he has never stepped out of the armory. He always looks like a cautious, timid, and obedient apprentice."
"but……"
The officer zoomed in on the image, pointing to a blurry perspective view deep underground in the armory.
"We detected through faint energy fluctuations that he had actually used modern mechanical theories from Earth, combined with the mysterious ancient bronze array patterns of the Shang Dynasty, to construct a 'domain' beneath his forging furnace!"
"He never leaves his home, yet he secretly controls the situation in the surrounding blocks through the weapons he forges. He hides himself deep within, content to be the mastermind behind the scenes, letting others fight and die in the spotlight!"
"This down-to-earth steadiness, coupled with that unfathomable strategic ability, makes him a natural-born cultivator!"
After listening to these three reports.
A brief silence fell over the entire command center.
The old general let out a long sigh and slammed the report in his hand heavily on the table.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Lu Cheng's forbearance, Bai Lang's humility, and Li Changsheng's steady behind-the-scenes work."
"None of these three are impetuous or arrogant. They are the true backbone of our Blue Star civilization, the true S-class immortal beings!"
The old general's gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp, and a fierce and ruthless aura erupted from him.
"Very well, very well, pass on my orders!"
"Immediately use the top-secret identity of 'Abbot' to issue the decree."
"Order them to set off immediately and secretly track these three promising players, following the coordinates provided by the think tank."
"Remember, it's covert protection!"
"Do not approach them, do not disturb their plans or cultivation. Simply clear the obstacles for them when they encounter a deadly trap."
"Even if it costs us all our hidden, top-tier resources, we must ensure that these three sparks return to Earth safely!"
"Yes, sir!"
The officer accepted the order, turned, and strode away.
......
at the same time.
The world of Investiture of the Gods is deep within famous mountains and rivers.
As the fortunes of several S-level immortal seeds gradually took shape, the secrets of this world quietly shifted slightly.
The sea of clouds churned, and cranes cried out.
Several ancient Taoist temples hidden in the blessed land, their ever-present protective arrays, faintly emitted a resonant humming sound.
"when--"
A clear, melodious bell rang out, echoing through the deep mountains.
The ancient Taoist temple gates suddenly swung open.
Several cultivators, dressed in Taoist robes with Bagua symbols and carrying long swords, emerged gracefully on auspicious clouds.
They held ancient dowsing rods in their hands, the needles of which were spinning wildly, eventually pointing to several different locations, including Chaoge and Xiqi.
"The heavens are warning us; the stars are shifting."
"A peerless immortal has descended to earth. We received a divine decree from the abbot in a dream to descend the mountain and seek out the destined one!"
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Several dazzling sword lights shot into the sky, transforming into rainbows that pierced the heavens and sped towards the coordinates of those seed-level experts.
......
The main world, Blue Star.
As the one-year mark approaches, the atmosphere in the [All-Server Main Channel] has reached a fever pitch!
The official account of the Blue Star military think tank is conducting a massive propaganda and incentive campaign in large groups.
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account): "Fellow countrymen! Heroes of Blue Star!"]
"There are less than two days left until the secret realm reopens and the heroes return!"
"Every drop of blood you shed in the secret realm, every demonic beast you slayed, and every cultivation technique you obtained—the nation will remember it all!"
"To welcome the triumphant return of our heroes."
"The authorities have already arranged a state-level welcoming banquet in the central squares of major core bases, including the First Base City, Jiangnan Base City, and North China Base City!"
Whether you bring back fragments of immortal techniques or just a handful of spiritual herbs, whether you're an S-rank prodigy or an F-rank mortal, as long as you manage to step out of that door alive, you will be heroes of human civilization!
The nation will welcome these heroes with the highest honors!
"The red carpet is laid out, the cannons are ready. We await the arrival of our heroes to welcome you and bestow upon you the supreme glory you deserve!"
This announcement acted like a shot in the arm, directly igniting the emotions of all the surviving explorers.
Those explorers who picked up some scrap metal and learned some rudimentary skills in the secret realm seemed to already see themselves returning to Earth, being admired by thousands and surrounded by flowers.
"Hahaha, I'm finally going to make it big! I absolutely have to have a seat of honor at the welcome banquet in Jiangnan Base City!"
"I brought back a tattered sword manual. After I return, I will be the number one swordsman on Earth. Who dares to disobey me?"
"I survived... I'm finally going to survive!"
"A welcome banquet of the highest caliber! I've never been treated like this in my life. It's worth risking my life for!"
"Brothers, hold on for these last few days, and we'll meet in the plazas of all the major base cities!"
The entire channel was swept away from the previous gloom and filled with the joy and anticipation of surviving a disaster.
The strong positive emotional feedback instilled a sense of pride in every explorer.
......
Blue Star, underground strategic command center.
The corridor lights were rather dim.
Outside the heavy alloy gate, the atmosphere was tense.
Several elderly men dressed in traditional Tang suits and exuding composure were being stopped at the door by two armed guards.
The elderly man at the head of the group leaned on a sandalwood cane. Although he was quite old, his eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he opened and closed them, clearly indicating that he was a master with profound internal energy.
This man was none other than Chu Tianhe's grandfather, the deputy general who was imprisoned in the Great Shang Dynasty's dungeon in the secret realm, and the current head of the Chu family!
"Please inform the commander that Old Master Chu of the Chu family in Jiangnan, along with his son, requests an audience with the commander!"
Suppressing his anxiety, Old Master Chu tried his best to make his tone appear respectful.
The Chu family naturally received the news that Chu Tianhe had caused a huge disaster in the secret realm and had been thrown into a death row.
That was a top genius nurtured by the Chu family with all their resources. They even secretly spent a lot of money to buy a mysterious potion that could improve compatibility!
If they were to die in the secret realm, the Chu family would suffer a severe loss, and their status on Blue Star might plummet in the future.
The alloy door slowly opened a crack.
The commander's personal adjutant came out.
The adjutant looked at Old Master Chu and shook his head expressionlessly.
"Mr. Chu, please go back. The commander has been working hard these past few days and is not feeling well, so it is really inconvenient for him to receive guests."
