While They Cultivate Martial Arts, I Cultivate Immortality

Cultivation methods on Earth have declined, and Celestial Star has become a martial arts holy land. Strange remnant souls, mutated fierce beasts, and the elusive power of curses all point to the de...

Chapter 11 Secret

Xia Xiaoyi's expression changed slightly. She stepped forward and said, "Uncle Zhao, why are you here? This isn't appropriate."

Upon seeing this, Cheng Wenya, Su Yun, and the others greeted him politely, clearly recognizing the middle-aged man.

Zhao Yuanhai turned around and coldly glanced at the bodyguards, who immediately retreated silently back to the airship.

"Wang Hao won... Zhao Wenbo was just a benchwarmer for him?"

The young woman following behind the middle-aged man, walking with her head down and looking unhappy, seemed to have just come out of a daze, and was somewhat dumbfounded.

She was well aware that Zhao Wenbo was very strong, and he often mentioned the extraordinary beings above the Heavenly Realm.

In the past, Zhao Wenbo has repeatedly expressed his lofty sentiments, saying that a new era has arrived, and who knows, he might be able to reach the level of the immortals recorded in those ancient books in the future!

This man, a Yellow Realm martial artist with a strong personality and ambitions to transcend the ancient Qi cultivators, was actually defeated by an unknown kid and made to sit there like a bench.

"Wang Hao, get up!" the woman shouted, her brows furrowed and her eyes cold as she glared at Wang Hao, who was sitting on Zhao Wenbo's back.

Wang Hao remained seated, ignoring her, silently circulating the Innate Primordial Dao Scripture. His weary body, bathed in the thin moonlight, gradually regained its vibrant vitality, becoming increasingly agile.

Zhao Yuanhai looked somewhat surprised. Although he did not practice breathing exercises, he had experienced many things and naturally understood some of the techniques.

"I never imagined you could master this health regimen to such a high level," he said, then gently asked Wang Hao if he could stand up to speak.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao stood up immediately, his fatigue vanished, and he appeared even more upright in the moonlight, his eyes shining brightly.

Since the other party was speaking politely and was willing to talk, he naturally wouldn't target them. His not getting up earlier was simply to show his attitude of equality.

Xia Xiaoyi and the others looked at Wang Hao in surprise. His performance today was very different from the Wang Hao they knew. It was as if he had become a completely different person.

Standing behind Wang Hao, Shi Mengqi's eyes were also filled with doubt. The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and she knew Wang Hao's personality better than anyone else.

At this moment, Shi Mengqi felt that Wang Hao in front of her was very unfamiliar, but she preferred the current Wang Hao. She moved her feet and stood beside him.

The young woman behind Zhao Yuanhai, who had snapped out of her daze, rushed over, helped Zhao Wenbo up, and asked him how badly he was injured.

This woman is Zhao Wenbo's younger sister, named Zhao Man.

"How should I address you?" Wang Hao asked politely.

“My surname is Zhao, you can call me Uncle Zhao.” The middle-aged man looked at him, almost scrutinizing him, as if trying to see through him.

Wang Hao remained calm. Even the aura of a Celestial Venerable couldn't subdue him, let alone an ordinary person like him.

Zhao Yuanhai remained motionless, staring intently at Wang Hao for a full three minutes. His own body stiffened slightly, and he finally gave a helpless smile.

"Youth is wonderful. I've heard of you before, and now that I see you, I think you're excellent." He smiled and nodded.

Wang Hao laughed too. He could just listen to those words and forget about them. In the past, he was good at studying and even finished his postdoctoral dissertation several years ahead of schedule, but in the end, he was just a scholar.

"Uncle Zhao, what's going on here today?" Cheng Wenya asked, her words also reflecting the dissatisfaction of some people present.

After all, this was where their classmates were having a reunion, but Zhao Wenbo came to disrupt it, even though many people knew what was going on.

Zhao Yuanhai sighed, "It's all because of Wenbo. I came here specifically to capture him. He's just entered the world of martial arts and doesn't know his own limitations. He's fought with more than a dozen people in just a few days."

"He's been looking for people to challenge everywhere. When I found out he'd run off here, I chased after him immediately. This time, I'm going to beat him to a pulp and make sure he doesn't leave the house for six months!"

In the distance, Zhao Wenbo's body appeared somewhat stiff.

At this moment, Wang Hao stared sharply at Zhao Wenbo and said in an icy voice, "Now, tell me everything you know."

These words contained Wang Hao's inviolable will, and were extremely domineering, causing many people to tremble.

Zhao Yuanhai also turned his head and fixed his gaze on Zhao Wenbo, wondering what inappropriate things his son had said this time.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about again?" Zhao Man asked in a low voice.

Zhao Wenbo sighed and said, "To be honest, I've only heard a few snippets of information. In a while, the head of the Li family might come to Earth."

"They might be here to take Shi Mengqi to Tianxing, but I don't know when they will arrive. I've told you everything I know."

Upon hearing what it was all about, Zhao Yuanhai breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his foolish son might have said something he shouldn't have.

"Alright, now that Wenbo is alright, we should head back. Young man, you're quite good, it's a pity you don't have the aptitude for martial arts. But since you've stayed in this old land, make the most of it."

After Zhao Yuanhai finished speaking, he turned around and left with Zhao Wenbo and Zhao Man, boarding a small airship and disappearing into the night sky.

"Let's go, the party isn't over yet, let's relax a bit." Wang Hao pulled Shi Mengqi along and headed into the villa.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, but their eyes were all fixed on Wang Hao's rather thin back, quite surprised by his performance tonight.

As time went on, more and more people came to the party. Many of them received the news at the last minute, after all, the circle is only so big, and Wang Hao's performance was also rumored to be miraculous.

The mountaintop was dappled with light and shadow, the nearby maple trees were ablaze with fiery red, and the distant forest cast large shadows. Occasionally, night birds would be startled and cry out in the darkness.

That night, many people got drunk and poured out their hearts. Some were passionate and full of ambition, saying that this was a great era and that they should seize the opportunity to become extraordinary, and some even had aspirations to become immortals or gods.

"Ignite the flame of the Dao, ascend the altar..." Even a usually quiet girl was no longer so reserved.

Another boy shouted, "What are immortals and gods? I think they are beings above the heavens. Ancient myths may not be false. Bodhisattvas, the Three Pure Ones, immortals, Buddhas, and monsters may appear."

"Of course, I mean that people of this caliber can still appear, not that bodhisattvas, demons, and immortals from the mythological era are still alive. After all, time is merciless, and what should be erased has been erased."

"I've even heard that figures like Kuafu, Nuwa, and Donghuang from ancient times may have existed, but they too couldn't withstand the power of time."

"However, based on the Buddhist pagodas, Taoist temples, and ruins that have been unearthed, as well as the records in various rare documents, they are far less powerful than we imagine, and there is no need to over-mythologize them."

"Several conglomerates and families, along with research institutes, have joined forces to analyze their remains. Even the strongest individuals among those extraordinary creatures could not withstand modern technological weapons; a single nuclear bomb would have wiped them all out."

The person who said this was a male student from Tianxing. He was clearly drunk and revealed some shocking information that the Earth students had never heard before.

The five major governments and financial groups in Tianxing have actually unearthed some extraordinary things in Tianxing, including Buddha relics!
