Chapter 208 Enlightenment of the Immortal Clan
Yun Chen and Chen Qinglan took Zhao Meng away.
When the young man woke up, his injuries had almost healed. He was immediately on high alert, thinking that he had been captured by the enemy and was about to engage in a bloody battle.
Yun Chen appeared: "Calm down, we are Chinese!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meng's eyes sharpened, remaining vigilant as she stepped aside, already assuming a fighting stance.
"Why should I believe you!"
Chen Qinglan appeared: "Do you remember me?"
Upon seeing Chen Qinglan, Zhao Meng paused for a moment, then her mind raced, and she suddenly remembered him, her eyes widening.
"Immortal, it's you!"
He had met Chen Qinglan two years ago and personally witnessed Chen Qinglan's extraordinary abilities. He knew that there were many extraordinary things in this world. He mentioned it to his comrades-in-arms countless times, but they did not believe him. He could only keep this secret in his heart forever.
Chen Qinglan nodded: "That's right, it's me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meng lowered her guard, lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said sincerely, "Immortal, please save my comrades."
Chen Qinglan said, "They have already lost their lives, and there is nothing I can do."
If they had arrived a few minutes earlier, that entire platoon of soldiers wouldn't have been killed.
Although they are Foundation Establishment cultivators, they are still human in essence, only their physiques far surpass those of ordinary people. Although they have mastered various spells and supernatural abilities, they still cannot bring the dead back to life; that ability is too heaven-defying.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meng bit her lip, clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes turned bloodshot, her hatred for the enemy reaching its peak.
Chen Qinglan said, "Come with us."
Zhao Meng, forcing back her grief, asked, "Where are we going?"
Chen Qinglan said, "If you learn cultivation from us and master powerful abilities, don't you want to avenge your comrades?"
Zhao Meng nodded emphatically: "I want to, but I'm still alive, I'm a soldier of China, I can't leave the border!"
Yun Chen said, "We killed all those enemies. You sacrificed your life and became a martyr on the Chinese border."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Meng wiped away his tears, and couldn't help but think of his comrades who had fallen in pools of blood. He felt envious, and he was still alive, filled with shame. For him, this was a disgrace, a tremendous disgrace.
Seeing this, Chen Qinglan said, "Think it over before making a decision. We won't force you; we respect your choice!"
The two left the room and went outside.
This is a border county town.
Zhao Meng wasn't the only one on their shortlist; they never forced anyone to do anything.
Zhao Meng struggled internally and thought for a long time. Three days passed, and he kept a close eye on the country's news. When he confirmed that his name was on the list of martyrs, his eyes became firm. He clenched his fists and made up his mind. The original Zhao Meng was dead. From this day forward, he would change his name to Zhao Ming.
Having obtained the answer, Yun Chen and Chen Qinglan took him away.
They returned to Cangcheng in Jiangnan, and Yun Chen said to Zhao Ming, "Always remember all your past experiences, and then start afresh!"
Instead of entering the city, they came to a rural area.
Yun Chen took out a Marrow Cleansing Pill and handed it to Zhao Ming.
That pill was extraordinary; it shimmered with light, was crystal clear, and was surrounded by visible halo of divine light, making it seem as if it were not something that should exist in this mortal world.
It floated in Yun Chen's palm. It was given to them by the immortal elders of Kunlun Mountain when they descended the mountain. It was an immortal pill that had completely disappeared in the mortal world, and there was no recipe for it.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming was somewhat stunned; this was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Yun Chen said, "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Swallowing it will be your first step on the path of cultivation."
Zhao Ming slowly took the pill, which glowed and floated in his palm. As he slowly brought it to his lips, the pill flew into his mouth and he swallowed it.
Soon, his entire body became intensely hot, and he felt waves of warmth starting from within. Every inch of his skin began to glow, as if something was crawling out from inside, and it began to emit a foul stench, as if all the impurities in his blood, bone marrow, and flesh had been removed.
After the marrow cleansing, Zhao Ming's eyes became clear. At this moment, it was as if he had gained sentience, and his thoughts were racing.
Yun Chen flicked his finger, and a burst of true energy flew out, stripping away and cleaning all the foul-smelling impurities and filth from Zhao Ming's body.
At this moment, Zhao Ming felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, like a swallow, as if he were flying into the sky, floating upwards. Moreover, he could feel every inch of his flesh and blood, clearly hear his strong heartbeat, and feel the surging vitality emanating from every organ.
He looked around, and everything was exceptionally clear. He could feel the wild grass striving to grow upwards, the thousands of flowers blooming and blossoming, and the various small animals wriggling in the soil. At this moment, his perception in all aspects became unprecedentedly powerful.
Zhao Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
That's an elixir of immortality; does it really exist in this world?
That was an elixir that gave him the perception of an immortal?
Afterwards, Yun Chen and the other person took Zhao Ming back to their residence.
They found some very basic scriptures about cultivation and had Zhao Ming begin to read and contemplate them seriously. These scriptures were rare, carefully selected by Qin Xi and Chu Miaomiao, and were the first things every cultivator should study diligently.
Nowadays, many cultivation scriptures are monopolized by the Dragon Group. These scriptures were found by them during their travels to various undiscovered ancient caves, and are extremely rare and precious.
Zhao Ming looked on in surprise: "The Basic Chapters of the Yanhuang Inner and Outer Classics? The Basic Chapters of the Kunlun Mountains and Seas Classic?"
Yun Chen said, "This is the most basic scripture. You should read it thoroughly first. Once you have mastered it, we will teach you magic."
Zhao Ming's eyes lit up with longing: "Magic and supernatural powers?"
His face was filled with shock, and his heart was surging with emotion. After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties. Apart from his identity as a Chinese soldier, he was essentially just a child, and just a celestial being whose fate had been tarnished.
Yun Chen handed him some basic scriptures, gave him a few simple instructions, and then left.
After receiving the scriptures, Zhao Ming opened the first one.
The characters above were very dignified and grand, subtly different from the characters used in modern China. They were magnificent and powerful, radiating a kind of strength. Although the strokes were vigorous and flowing, they exuded a powerful aura, allowing him to understand the content of each character at a glance. The first sentence read: "The Immortal Clan is shrouded in dust; never forget to revive!"
Zhao Ming repeated: "The Immortal Clan has been tarnished; let us not forget our revival."
He was somewhat stunned. In those few words, he seemed to see an exceptionally great race that had created an extremely glorious and beautiful civilization.
Today, the Immortal Clan civilization has almost completely disappeared.
He muttered to himself, "Am I... a member of the Immortal Clan?"
Outside the window, the wind was biting cold, and snow was falling heavily.
As Zhao Ming diligently read these scriptures, after his body was cleansed by the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he became more intelligent than ever before. He gradually grasped many of the contents recorded in the scriptures and formed his own understanding. He couldn't help but connect them with all his experiences in the first half of his life, and he realized just how glorious his motherland had once been.
Why is it that now the motherland is promoting the great rejuvenation, but many people don't take it seriously, or even care at all? It's because people have no idea how great their civilization was in the past. They were the greatest immortal civilization in the world.
With such intense domestic conflicts and a constant stream of antagonisms, and with all the countries abroad eyeing the motherland with covetous intent, what is the reason for all of this?
He understood everything and suddenly realized the truth.
Seven days have passed since Zhao Ming finished reading these scriptures.
Meanwhile, Yun Chen and the others were also contacting other fellow Daoists from Kunlun Mountain, planning to join forces with them to fight against the Dragon Group.
Otherwise, the Dragon Group's influence and power are too great, and if they don't unite, they will be defeated one by one.
