Chapter 33 Surveillance
[Liu Hao: "But that cliff was too steep, and the wind was too strong. I, an ordinary person, simply couldn't climb over it. I could only watch helplessly."]
[Liu Hao: "I've been thinking about this for a long time. I don't know many people in this secret realm, and even fewer I can trust. Suddenly I remembered that you're a crow, and you can fly!"]
[Liu Hao: "Lin Yuan, fly over here and pick those fruits for me. We brothers can each take one. With this kind of divine favor, when we return to Blue Star, we'll definitely be guaranteed admission to the top martial arts universities, and might even become powerful figures in our own right!"]
silence.
Inside the cave, Lin Yuan stared at the words on the light screen, remaining silent for a long time.
Immortal Vine?
Seven-colored divine light?
A rare and precious herb with an enticing fragrance?!
Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
In this world of gods, what can be called "immortal vine" and bear miraculous fruit is very likely to be the legendary spiritual root of heaven and earth.
If he could consume such a divine object, it would bring immeasurable benefits to consolidating his foundation in the Dao Integration Realm and even to his future breakthrough into the ethereal Demon Immortal Realm.
Liu Hao's luck is simply unbelievable.
Faced with such temptation, Lin Yuan did not lose his mind. He took a deep breath and replied.
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "Is there really such a treasure? You wait on that cliff edge, and don't make any rash moves lest you disturb the mountain beasts. Which sacred mountain are you on now? Send me your exact location."
Liu Hao replied quickly, but with a hint of helplessness.
[Liu Hao (Rank C/Woodcutter): "Brother, I'm just a mortal who was flown in here by an old Taoist priest with his sleeves rolled up. How would I know the exact coordinates of this Great Wilderness?"]
[Liu Hao: "I only occasionally heard the old Taoist priest mention that this place was called something like... Jade Spring Mountain, Golden Cloud Cave."]
boom!
These seven words, like a bolt of divine lightning from the heavens, struck directly into Lin Yuan's sea of consciousness.
"Yuquan Mountain... Jinxia Cave?!"
If it were Earth explorers who didn't even know the basics of cultivation, they might just think it was an ordinary Taoist cave.
But who is Lin Yuan?
He is the only prophet in the entire server who has read the entire script of "Investiture of the Gods"!
Yuquan Mountain Jinxia Cave, this is no ordinary fairy mountain!
This is the Daoist temple of Yu Ding Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!
Who is Yu Ding Zhenren?
That was Erlang Shen, the future saint who would split the mountain to save his mother... Yang Jian's mentor!
He was a supreme master under the command of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, possessing divine swordsmanship and being extremely protective of his own!
The white-bearded old Taoist priest that Liu Hao described as "pleasing to the ear" was actually Master Yu Ding?!
"What kind of incredible luck did this kid have to become a disciple of such a supreme master as a medicine apprentice?"
Lin Yuan's heart pounded even harder.
Could the immortal vines growing on the cliff behind Jade Cauldron Immortal be ordinary?
If you miss such an opportunity, you will surely be punished by heaven!
However, Yuquan Mountain is located deep in the mountains and rivers, without specific latitude and longitude coordinates. Searching for it in this vast and boundless wilderness is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lin Yuan frowned, about to type on the keyboard to ask Liu Hao if there were any landmark mountains or landforms in the vicinity.
Just then.
"Ding!"
A system notification sounded in Lin Yuan and Liu Hao's private chat box.
Immediately afterwards, an ID with a gold border forced its way into their private chat channel.
[The Blue Star Military Think Tank (official agent account/chief instructor) has entered the private chat channel.]
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Lin Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
A chill ran down my spine and straight to the top of my head.
monitor!
The official think tank of Earth is actually monitoring all explorers' private chats in real time.
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account/Chief Instructor): "Ahem..."]
A line of golden text slowly appeared on the light screen.
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account/Chief Instructor): "Two students, don't panic."]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account/Chief Instructor): "Student Liu Hao has discovered a celestial treasure, a shared asset of our Blue Star civilization, which the nation highly values. Student Lin Yuan, as a celestial being, is willing to go and assist him; this spirit of mutual help and support among compatriots is commendable."]
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account/Chief Instructor): "Since you don't know the exact location, to ensure this opportunity isn't missed... actually, as the highest-authority official account, I can forcibly enable the 'location sharing' function for both of you."]
Dead silence.
The chat window fell into a deathly silence that lasted for half a minute.
Liu Hao, far away at the foot of Yuquan Mountain, was probably so frightened by the sudden intervention of the authorities that he turned pale and dared not even type a word.
"A brilliant tactic, a clever move to catch the oriole behind."
Lin Yuan sneered inwardly.
He's not stupid. The official account didn't appear earlier or later, but it just happened to pop up right when Liu Hao revealed the "immortal treasure" and "Jinxia Cave of Yuquan Mountain".
What does this tell us?
This shows that they are not only monitoring, but also secretly filtering valuable intelligence!
Even more... Lin Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and he thought of even more things.
"I previously predicted the defeat of Jizhou and the eventual sacrifice of Su Hu's daughter in the small group called 'Ordinary People Helping Each Other.' I even accurately predicted that a wicked concubine would cause chaos in the imperial palace."
"At the time, I thought it was just a few low-level cannon fodder groups that wouldn't attract attention. But now it seems that such accurate 'prophetic' remarks have probably already fallen into the eyes of these think tank experts."
"They've been watching me for a while!"
"Although they don't know how I predict the future, they have definitely put me, this 'F-class crow,' on their watch list."
The feeling of being watched like you're invisible is extremely awful.
It's like being watched closely by a cold, venomous snake in the dark; the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.
Lin Yuan's fingers hovered over the virtual keyboard, his brain working frantically.
Revolt?
Exposed?
Meaningless.
Although he is now a Great Demon of the Dao Integration Realm, under the constraints of the Secret Realm's laws, he will eventually have to return to the main world through the system.
I wonder if I can retain this cultivation and bring it back to the main world.
If not, he is not yet ready to completely break off relations with the massive national machinery of the Blue Star military.
"Since you want to watch a show, then this humble Taoist will play along to the very end."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the pounding in his heart, and quickly typed out a line of text.
Lin Yuan (Rank F/Ordinary Crow): "Really?! Instructor, you can really help us enable location sharing? That's great! I was just wondering how to fly over there!"
The head instructor on the other side of the screen seemed quite satisfied with Lin Yuan's obedient attitude.
[Blue Star Military Think Tank (Official Agent Account/Chief Instructor): "Of course. This is to ensure your safety and to maximize the interests of the nation. Lin Yuan, you must cooperate with Liu Hao to retrieve the Immortal Vine Fruit. If you can bring it back to the main world, the nation will definitely award you the greatest merit!"]
The instructor gave a grand explanation, then pressed a permission button.
