Chapter 239: What on earth is going on? Preposterous

Beams of seven-colored light shot into the sky from Lin Xuan's Dao room, weaving into a massive vortex above Baiyun Guan. The fluctuations of Spirit Qi were intense to the extreme; even Outsiders of average level could feel the abnormal sense of oppression in the air.

"Heavens!" The disciples in the temple walked out of their rooms one after another, staring in shock at the strange phenomenon in the sky. Experienced Practitioners recognized immediately that this was a sign of Heaven and Earth resonance, and the scale of it was unprecedented.

Luo Daming was meditating when he suddenly sensed this abnormal fluctuation; he felt as if he had been struck by lightning and instantly opened his eyes. He walked quickly out of his room, followed by his disciple Huang Ming, who wore an equally nervous expression.

"Master, this... what exactly is going on?" Huang Ming's voice trembled, "I have never seen such a powerful phenomenon!"

Luo Daming looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with both shock and a trace of worry: "Could it be that Lin Xuan has broken through again? I fear it is even more astonishing than we imagined. This power..." He took a deep breath, "has completely exceeded the scope of my understanding."

Just then, footsteps came from behind. Fang Dongtian walked over slowly. Although he was over eighty, the old man's eyes were still like lightning.

"Such strong Heaven and Earth resonance," Fang Dongtian's voice trembled slightly, "I have lived for so many years, yet this is the first time I have seen a phenomenon of this scale. The Qi Luck of the lad Lin Xuan is truly heaven-reaching and earth-shattering."

Luo Daming turned to look at the old man: "Grandmaster has vast experience; do you know what this phenomenon signifies?"

Fang Dongtian shook his head: "Heavenly secrets must not be lightly leaked. However, one thing is certain," his gaze became profound, "this phenomenon will likely attract more attention."

Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai stood on the roof, their bodies enveloped by dense Spirit Qi. Even Demon Immortals like them felt alarmed by a Heaven and Earth phenomenon of this magnitude.

"I didn't expect Benefactor's strength to have such a huge improvement again," Xiao Qing said excitedly, "With this level of Heaven and Earth resonance, even the great beings from ancient legends would be no more than this, right?"

Xiao Bai, however, appeared more composed: "Benefactor brings about astonishing changes every time he breaks through. But this phenomenon is too shocking; I fear it will bring some unnecessary trouble."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Na Du Tong Company, an emergency meeting was underway.

"Supervisor Xu!" The technical supervisor of the survey department rushed into the office, the report in his hand nearly spilling everywhere, "An unprecedented energy fluctuation has appeared at Baiyun Guan! All our monitoring equipment has triggered alarms!"

Xu Si immediately put down his work and took the report to scan it quickly: "The energy index is this high?" His brow furrowed, "Are you sure the equipment isn't malfunctioning?"

"We have already verified it repeatedly," the technical supervisor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "and it's not just us; monitoring stations in several surrounding cities have also detected the anomaly. An energy fluctuation of this scale has completely exceeded our estimation range."

Xu Si immediately picked up the phone to contact the informants arranged around Baiyun Guan: "Closely monitor the situation at Baiyun Guan; report immediately if there is any anomaly."

Afterward, he dialed Zhao Fangxu's private number: "Chairman, an abnormal situation has occurred at Baiyun Guan..."

"I know," Zhao Fangxu's voice sounded unusually calm, "I have already seen the monitoring report. The scale of this phenomenon is indeed unexpected." He paused, "But that is fine; perhaps it can verify some of our speculations."

"You mean..."

"Continue observing," Zhao Fangxu interrupted him.

At the same time, in a Quiet Room on Longhu Mountain, Lao Tianshi Zhang Zhiwei suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze pierced through a thousand miles, pointing directly at the direction of Baiyun Guan, and a trace of rare shock flashed in his eyes.

"This aura..." Lao Tianshi pinched his fingers to calculate, his expression growing increasingly grave, "To be able to trigger a Heaven and Earth phenomenon of this scale, what kind of fortuitous encounter has this lad obtained?"

Zhang Lingyu noticed his master's anomaly and walked quickly into the Quiet Room: "Master, what happened?"

"A rare phenomenon has appeared at Baiyun Guan." Lao Tianshi's voice remained steady, but the shock in his eyes was hard to conceal.

"Baiyun Guan?" Zhang Lingyu was stunned; he sensed carefully but discovered nothing, "Why did this disciple not perceive it?"

"Heh," Lao Tianshi glanced at him, "Your realm is still far off. This level of sensing requires profound cultivation and keen perception. It is not something you can reach at your age."

Zhang Lingyu felt somewhat ashamed: "This disciple understands."

"Do not be discouraged," Lao Tianshi comforted him rarely, "The path of cultivation is one of gradual progress. As for that Lin Xuan..." His gaze turned toward the distance again, "To be able to trigger such a Heaven and Earth phenomenon, I fear he has already touched the limits of this world, has he not?"

Inside Baiyun Guan, the phenomenon lasted for a full hour before gradually dissipating. But the abnormal Spirit Qi fluctuations in the air had not yet settled, like the lingering echoes after a massive storm.

Luo Daming stood outside the Dao room, feeling the energy changes in the air, his mood complicated to the extreme. As the head of the temple, he was proud of his disciple's achievements, yet worried that this phenomenon would bring unnecessary trouble.

"Lin Xuan, oh Lin Xuan," he sighed softly, "where exactly will your path lead?"

Fang Dongtian walked slowly to his side: "Do not worry too much. The lad Lin Xuan has extraordinary Qi Luck; there are some things that even we cannot control. Perhaps, this is Heaven's will."

Luo Daming nodded, yet could not hide the worry in his heart: "I hope so."

Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai remained on the roof, quietly waiting for Lin Xuan to emerge from seclusion.

Before long, although the Heaven and Earth phenomenon had dissipated, this matter quickly spread through various channels across the entire Outsider world and even to ordinary people outside the Outsider world; at this moment, everyone was speculating.

Within a few short hours, the seven-colored phenomenon that appeared above Baiyun Guan caused a huge stir on major social media platforms. In the videos, those mysterious beams of light shot straight into the clouds, weaving into a giant vortex in the sky, reflecting against the skyline of the entire city.

"Just saw it with my own eyes, there really was a dragon shape in the sky!" A netizen who claimed to be visiting Baiyun Guan at the time posted excitedly, attaching a slightly blurry but sufficiently shocking video, "That sense of pressure definitely couldn't be created by special effects!"

The comment section of the video instantly boiled over.

"I was at the scene too! Those beams of light were even more shocking than in sci-fi movies! And that sense of oppression, I couldn't even breathe standing there!"

"Everyone look at the 0:35 mark, there is clearly something moving in the light ring! I've watched it many times, that is definitely a dragon shape!"

"This must be someone undergoing a tribulation! My grandfather said before he passed that immortal cultivation is real! Now there is finally proof!"

Even foreign social media began to frantically repost these videos. Some foreign netizens interested in Eastern culture left comments one after another:

"So there really are immortal cultivators in the East?"

"Fuck! I told you the East is awesome, my African classmate didn't believe me, looks like it's time to empty the magazine."
