LOGIN"If the myth is true, it'd definitely be the Monkey King," Bosco replied without hesitation. "Born immortal and then ascending as Buddha? There's no disputing his godhood."Barlin nodded in agreement. "Exactly. If the Monkey King is real, he's a divine Buddha—a class above even immortals."Pausing, his tone shifted as he continued, "Now, have you considered that the Monkey King's somersault cloud only covers the distance of 37,000 miles? Even if we're talking about 37,000 miles per second, it would only be about one-fifth of the speed of light. "In other words, even if the Monkey King—already divine—could only manage that much, the cultivators who are a class beneath would never reach the same level of ability. Since the Monkey King is a far more enlightened being anyway, all the centuries they spent in cultivation only end up with them falling short. So tell me, is spending hundreds of years cultivating a blessing or a torment?"The other two elders could swear they got tinnitus
Barlin nodded, and warned, "You must be extremely careful while you're interacting with modern society, as there's this CIWS thing that reduced one of our best men to mincemeat. Tarlon was saying that nonsense will chase you down while also being too fast to outrun, even changing directions if you did. It would have seen you before you got too close, and would have launched dozens—if not hundreds of shells straight at you. No human being stands a chance."The other two elders nodded repeatedly—in fact, the more they learned about modern technology, the less faith they had in dharmic cultivation.Pausing, Barlin sighed out loud again. "I'll be honest. Before I went into seclusion, I thought I would have nothing to fear once I stepped out… Only for us to improve in cultivation, but the world also improved even more in just a hundred years. "Think about it, a hundred years ago, a cannonball could at most destroy a small boat or a house. Just 80 years ago, a bomb could level an entire
In the VIP lounge, Bosco—bound for Kathmandu, was the first notified that he could board his flight. A pretty air stewardess approached him, bowing her head respectfully before speaking in fluent Oskian, "Mr. Griffin? You may board your flight at the terminal, but we have a buggy waiting for you if you like. Would you like to depart now or wait?" The three high elders were raised as youths in the Qing Dynasty. Now, after emerging from a century of seclusion, they quickly crammed knowledge about the modern world, but still couldn't quickly grasp foreign languages. Fortunately, Tarlon was considerate enough to arrange for Oskian service personnel to assist them in advance. Bosco asked her, "How long do I have?" The air stewardess replied, "Twenty minutes, sir. Business and first-class passengers will be boarding first, while economy-class is expected to begin boarding in ten. We can use the VIP passage from this lounge, which leads directly to the jet bridge. Until then, you
Back then, Barlin's comrades were recruiting new members to their cause with paganist rites and invocations, gaslighting recruits into believing that they were physically invulnerable… which naturally was a complete lie.But then again, not all of them were charlatans, as Barlin once encountered a comrade down south, who was practically a cultivator.Although Barlin had already attained enlightenment, Fleur made him disguise himself as an ordinary peasant to infiltrate the ranks of other rebel cells to gather intelligence. It was during one of those paganist rites, that one of the senior figures gathered everyone around and told them a story—perhaps to boost morale, about a special denomination before the Degenerate Age of Dharma.He said that before the Degenerate Age of Dharma came, the world was filled with powerful cultivators, who set up countless sects. Their strength was many times greater than that of cultivators in the Degenerate Age of Dharma, and transcendence was com
Charlie's Earthnet was a security camera network embedded in vending machines at airports, ports, and train stations, all wired to his state-of-the-art AI module.It had caught sight of the Qing Eliminating Society's three elders before, when they departed and returned to South America.On this occasion, they first traveled by seaplane to the waters near Buenos Aires, before transferring to a speedboat to make landfall, after which they headed straight for the airport.The moment they arrived at the airport's VIP lounge, Earthnet immediately identified them.Neither Fleur nor the three elders seemed to understand the danger of facial profiling, nor did they know Charlie possessed such a powerful tool in his arsenal that was almost insidious.It was a stroke of genius to cover all transit points such as airports, train stations, and piers. During travel, especially international, facial concealment was prohibited. And when they pass through any checkpoints without facial disguises,
Unlike the four seasons elsewhere across the world, those who work in Antarctica only had two seasons. For them, there was only one summer that started from November to March, and one winter from April to October—the latter was naturally much longer, lasting seven months.That also meant there would be no tourists on the Antarctic continent for the next seven months, while all commercial shipping would be completely suspended. Currently, a small number of research vessels were still traveling to and from Antarctica, but by late April, there wouldn't be ships traveling to Antarctica. After all, even research vessels would be unable to handle the extreme temperatures in that period.In other words, people who stayed on the Antarctic continent would be unable to leave even if they wanted to, as the next ships will only arrive in October.Still, even though six months would have passed in the blink of an eye for him, Charlie couldn't help but worry for his family and friends, in cas
Moreover, Shangri-La was Isaac’s territory. So, Cadfan’s spies would not be able to get into Shangri-La at all. That way, it would be impossible for Cadfan to find out who Sophie had met up with after coming to Shangri-La.***Very soon, it was already noon.The car that had been struck by lightning at
Charlie looked at Sheldon, and he discovered that the guy’s mouth was bulging and his whole face seemed to be completely deformed. So, he was a little startled, and he could not help but ask Hamed, “Brother, what’s the matter with him?”Hamed glanced at Sheldon before he smiled and said, “Sigh. This
Charlie then instructed again, “Oh, by the way, since you’ve already said that you’re going to give them a violent beating, you have to wait until they have already signed the contract and taken the video. Do you understand?”“Understood!”Immediately afterward, Daxton and the others were all crying a
It was expected that they would be able to arrive at the scheduled location in forty minutes due to the mobility of the entire crew.Meanwhile, Hamed’s base was bustling with activity.More than one hundred and forty explosion points that had already been buried in advance were all controlled by fourt
