Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 811: The Real Me
Haiben Island.
Garrison commanders from ten countries stood lined up on the shore, all with wide eyes in anticipation as they gazed at the sea before them. The remaining exploration length was only seven days, and there were only two days left until the time was up. According to previous experience, the strong parties should be almost out by this time.
As the commander of the Chinese side, Gao Hongxin was very anxious as he clearly realized the importance of the exploration of these remains. It is the remains of a more advanced civilization. Even just a few left of their technology can promote the progress of the entire country.
A great man once said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Thus, the saying could not be more precise. The armed forces of a country represent the right to speak in the modern era. Although China has grown rapidly, it is still unable to seize a position at the top of the world. Therefore, if the Chinese team could scoop up some significant treasures from this residual exploration, the military might of the entire country would be qualitatively advancing quickly.
"They're back!"
The commander from France had his expression moving and he shouted with a hint of excitement.
Instantly, everyone's eyes were fixed on the submarine that was slowly rising from the bottom of the water. When the submarine's door opened, the first person they saw was an injured member of the Indian team. At this moment, he was carrying a black leather bag and quickly landed on the beach, greeted quickly by the Indian soldiers surrounding him.
The second was Kuwako Yamamoto, who was carrying a black suitcase, and the Japanese military also quickly protected her with excitement on their faces.
After that, it was the team of Zhu Long that came out with many things. Gao Hongxing waved happily across his face as an army of Chinese soldiers quickly surrounded the four men and protected them.
"Tang Xiu?" Gao Hongxing still did not forget to ask even though he was very happy.
Zhu Long shook his head silently and said, "We parted inside and we never saw him again. I'm worried .. he met some misfortune."
Gao Hongxing nodded without a word, and then shouted in a heavy voice, "Let's go back."
However, after the team members from the three countries returned, the commanders of the other countries became more anxious and kept waiting, but were later told by the submarine crew that no one else had returned.
Inside the vestige on the sea floor.
Tang Xiu already had complete control over the vestige, yet he did not stay silent and continued to visit every place, incorporating many things that could be brought into his interspatial ring. He only brought a few rings with him, which were already full after only two days.
Teng Nu had been following him all along. After two days together, she actually worshiped Tang Xiu. With all his various magical means, as well as some Immortal arts he gave her, she was sometimes full of interest causing her blood to boil with excitement.
"Can you stay longer, sir?" Teng Nu asked with a face full of hope as they returned to the main control room at the center of the base.
Tang Xiu smiled in response while watching the holographic recording showing the light cocoon that wrapped Cheng Xuemei inside. It had gotten thinner as time passed and there was only a thin layer left. He shook his head and smilingly said, "I still have a lot of things to tend to outside, so I can't stay here for too long. Also, you will take a long time to digest all the things I have given you, so stay here and plant them safely! I believe it won't be long for me to come back here. I'll take you outside by then. "
Teng Nu could not help but care about something else — that he cared about was to become stronger and stronger, so he immediately nodded after hearing Tang Xiu's words. "alright. Then I'll wait for you to come back here."
"Go to the botanical area and bring Cheng Xuemei," Tang Xiu said.
"All right." Teng Nu agreed and his figure instantly disappeared.
Tang Xiu quietly forced a smile inside. Teng Nu's speed was fast to the extreme, so fast that he couldn't catch it at all. Moreover, he was not the only one whose speed was extremely fast, nor were the 35,680 living plants that had turned into human forms. The weakest among them was even ten times faster than him.
"Fortunately, I've already given them the seal, otherwise they could hurt me or even kill me if they casually attack me," Tang Xiu murmured to himself inwardly. His hands then began to enter commands on the virtual keyboard. He needed to close all the entrances to the entire remnant, so he even closed the last hidden exit that would be closed in two days. As soon as they were all covered, no one other than him could enter.
Whooshing sound…
Teng Nu caught the light cocoon and reappeared in front of Tang Xiu. Cheng Xuemei was still unconscious inside the light cocoon and was unaware of the situation outside.
A day later, the light cocoon disappeared completely and Cheng Xuemei finally woke up. As he opened his eyes, Teng Nu's hand pressed against his shoulder.
Tang Xiu observed Cheng Xuemei lying on the floor and asked lightly, "How is your physical condition?"
Xuemei flickered as a powerful aura shot out from his body. He felt that his body was filled with explosive power and even had the feeling that he could flatten mountains with his fist punch.
"I…"
"Forget it; you don't have to explain." Tang Xiu waved and said, "Although I don't know what happened to you, it seems that you have benefited enough already. At least you are much stronger now; not just a small increase either. After all, he was Teng Nu, the human form of the Luminous Vine. I was afraid that you would not be able to control your strength when you woke up, so I ordered him to hold you back. Listen well and wait for him to loosen you up, but don't get up suddenly or use too much force. Adapt slowly. "
"All right!"
Although Cheng Xuemei was unaware of the reason why his physique had undergone such a change, he obtained the memory of the plant so as to understand a bit of information.
Bang …
Just as Teng Nu removed his shoulders, Cheng Xuemei tried to prop himself up by hand to the floor in an attempt to sit down. His entire half-sitting body suddenly appeared upwards and crashed into a dozen meters tall steel roof.
"Account .. whoops …"
A shallow hole formed on the steel roof, but the pain made him scream. However, when his body lightly floated up and landed on the floor, the pain was already mostly gone.
"I…"
Cheng Xuemei was stunned. He felt like he was about to break away from the shackles of gravity. His entire body was filled with strength, yet he felt extremely light. Except for a few mild spasms of pain in his head that he had just smashed, the other parts of his body had never felt better. In particular, it was his soul — he felt it had been completely purified.
"I told you not to use too much power, right?" Tang Xiu shook his head and smiled. "You're very strong now, but you can't fully control your power. Only by slowly adapting can you gradually control it, otherwise there will be a counterattack from the sudden surge of power!"
The revelation left Cheng Xuemei at a loss as to whether he should laugh or cry. He never thought that he would experience such a situation. He carefully stood up slowly and gently moved his body, yet all the bones in his body creaked. He realized that he had even become at least five centimeters taller.
After spending some time in adapting to the new situation, Cheng Xuemei was barely able to use some of his strength. Despite the slight progress, however, he fell and stumbled dozens of times, feeling a faint pain in many parts of his body.
"It seems I need to take you somewhere else and make you exercise well."
Tang Xiu took out a set of clothes from his interspatial ring. It was men's clothing, but Cheng Xuemei had become taller, by about 173 centimeters, so it wasn't too big for him to wear.
"Where did you get it out of?" Cheng Xuemei was stunned. His vision was greatly improved and fast, yet he could not even see Tang Xiu's movements. It's like magic.
"The me you know before is not the real me, if I have to say it," Tang Xiu said with a calm smile. "But I will tell you more when I help you control your power."
Therefore, he left some orders to Teng Nu and then walked out. Along the way, due to Cheng Xuemei's physical changes, it was inevitable that he met things here and there. Finally, after arriving at the remaining exit he had left behind, he reached out and pressed a button at the intersection of the passageway.
"What's this?" Cheng Xuemei's eyes shrank and stared in amazement at the previously closed passageway that was open. The inside looks like a cabin with two robots already activated.
"This is the Subaquatic Corvette. Well, I baptized him, because that was his name," Tang Xiu said lightly. "Don't you see that we came all the way here smoothly? To be honest, the entire base is controlled by me and I set up all the procedures here. As of now, this is the only entrance and exit accessible throughout the rest; the rest have been completely closed. People from different countries have left, so we don't have submarines to pick us up. We can only take this Subaquatic Corvette to leave this place. "
"SAY WHAT?" Cheng Xuemei shouted and looked at Tang Xiu in disbelief.
Tang Xiu stepped into the Subaquatic Corvette and nonchalantly said, "No need to bother about trivial matters, okay? You really have superficial knowledge, it seems like I should send you some popular science magazines later. Also, you cannot be considered a normal person right now, so you have to completely change the path you will take in the future. "
Cheng Xuemei wore a complicated look as she looked at Tang Xiu. After he entered the cabin of the Subaquatic Corvette, the exit slowly closed again as well as the door of the Subaquatic Corvette.
Tang Xiu found control and quickly entered a series of instructions. As the Subaquatic Corvette began sailing along the seabed, Tang Xiu returned to the main cabin. He looked at Cheng Xuemei's complicated expression and then said, "Alright, let me reintroduce myself again. I am Tang Xiu, an immortal cultivator."
Immortal cultivators?
Cheng Xuemei shuddered and seemed to realize something all of a sudden, when he quickly asked, "I only heard about Daoist cultivators, never about Immortal cultivators at all."
"That's because you don't know much," Tang Xiu said lightly. "An Immortal cultivator is, in fact, fundamentally similar to a Daoist cultivator; that is, we walk the path of cultivation, even though an immortal cultivator is higher in rank compared to a Daoist cultivator. What I practice is Eternal Art, not Daoist Art. "
Cheng Xuemei suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded. "No wonder you're this strong. It turns out that you are an Immortal cultivator. I totally understand now."
