Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 532 - 412: Besieging the Bright Summit?

The four famous mountains all bow and salute, and the five sacred peaks pay homage.

This phrase refers to Wudang Mountain.

Since ancient times, Wudang has been a renowned Taoist mountain, enjoying the reputation of being the unparalleled wonder in the ancient world and the number one fairy mountain under the heavens.

Upon arriving at Wudang, Lu Lin followed his usual routine, first taking his parents to tour the mountain, visiting famous spots such as Taihe Palace, Jing Le Palace, Jade Void Palace, and Hidden Immortal Cliff.

It must be said, after touring Shaolin and Wudang, Lu Lin deeply felt the differences between the Taoist and Buddhist sects.

There’s no need to elaborate on the specifics.

While sightseeing in the mountains, Lu Lin and his parents saw a number of Taoist monks, some young, some old, each with a lean figure and decorum. Upon seeing Lu Lin and his companions, they would nod in greeting from a distance and then depart on their own way.

Throughout Wudang Mountain, one could feel the Taoist spirit of tranquility, non-action, and reverence for nature at any moment.

At the same time, during the tour, Lu Lin also discovered the approximate location of the fourth Beam of Light.

South Cliff.

This place is known as the holy realm where the Very Martial deity ascended, and when Lu Lin saw the beam of light descending vertically from the distant starry sky, he understood why it was so named.

Near South Cliff, spiritual energy constantly dispersed in all directions, and from afar, Lu Lin spotted hundreds of Taoists sitting cross-legged atop it, meditating and contemplating.

Lu Lin silently memorized the location of South Cliff, and seeing that it was late, he took his parents back to the hotel.

But upon reaching the hotel, they saw a group of strangely dressed people surrounding the camper van Lu Lin had purchased.

They said nothing, made no noise, and simply stood quietly beside it.

Passersby couldn’t help but look over curiously, thinking perhaps a movie was being filmed.

Lu Lin felt a touch of curiosity. He instructed his parents to return to the hotel while he approached the camper van alone.

His arrival drew the attention of those oddly dressed people.

Only then did Lu Lin realize that this large group was roughly divided into three factions.

One group was clearly Buddhists, dressed in gray monk’s robes, sitting silently on the ground while continuously reciting scriptures.

Another group appeared dressed like ancient scholars, each holding a folding fan in their hands. These fans were clearly Star Devices, not ordinary ones.

The third group’s attire was unfamiliar to Lu Lin. However, they all wore long swords at their waists, exuding an aura of dignity and righteousness.

Seeing this scene, Lu Lin couldn’t help but feel amused.

This scenario gave him a sense of déjà vu, like the six sects attacking the Bright Summit.

Have I become Zhang Wuji?

Lu Lin stood in front of the vehicle, looked around, and asked, "May I ask what’s the matter you’ve come to see me about?"

Upon hearing Lu Lin speak, everyone’s eyes focused on him.

"Amitabha."

An elderly monk walked out from the crowd, chanting a Buddhist phrase. "I am Fa Ning, abbot of Shaolin. May I ask if you are Lu Lin?"

Abbot Fa Ning had a kind and benevolent appearance, but when he spoke, he seemed somewhat aggressive.

Lu Lin remained undaunted and nodded at the old monk, "I am. I wonder why Abbot Fa Ning is looking for me."

"Benefactor Lu, the other day, you borrowed a treasure from the temple. Shouldn’t it be returned to the temple?"

It seemed Fa Ning already had a firm belief in Lu Lin’s actions. However, he avoided using the word "theft," evidently to give Lu Lin some face.

"Oh?"

"There’s no such thing."

"I indeed visited Shaolin the other day, but I did not borrow anything, let alone a treasure. Abbot Fa Ning must be mistaken."

As soon as Lu Lin finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a precious sword at his waist stepped forward and said.

"You thief!"

"You stole the treasure of our Heng Mountain Sect and now dare to deny it?"

"If you know what’s good for you, hand over the treasure swiftly, or else we’ll have to directly call the Detective Department."

Hmm?

Lu Lin was taken aback.

Respected hero, your words don’t seem quite right.

Shouldn’t it be, "If you don’t hand it over, we’ll let your blood stain the ground for five steps"? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Why did you decide to call the Detective Department instead?

But it was precisely because of what this person said that Lu Lin understood their purpose.

Jade.

During his visit to Mount Song Shaolin Temple, Lu Lin noticed that the temple had built a special Bodhi Hall above a jade to facilitate the monks’ Spiritual Strength cultivation.

During today’s tour of Wudang, he also saw hundreds of Taoists cultivating on South Cliff.

So, wouldn’t the scenes of massive spiritual energy dispersal on Heng Mountain and Mount Tai be noticed?

This middle-aged man claimed they were from the Heng Mountain Sect, so the other group dressed as scholars should be cultivators from around Mount Tai.

"Haha, this hero must be joking. In this world, treasures belong to those with virtue. Who decreed that just because your Heng Mountain Sect has a treasure, I, Lu Lin, cannot possess it as well?"

"What makes you so sure that I stole your treasure?"

"You thief, I see you’re stubborn as a mule, won’t stop until you’ve nowhere left to run. Did you come to Wudang this time intending to steal their treasure as well? Let me tell you something."

The middle-aged man from the Heng Mountain Sect said aggressively, "Our Heng Mountain Sect isn’t familiar with the Wudang area, but if you dare to steal Wudang’s treasure, this thousand-year-old sect will ensure you won’t leave this territory."

This guy, so passionate, surprising everyone with how skillfully he plays the ’borrow a knife to kill’ tactic.

Just as Lu Lin was about to speak, he sensed someone flying in from afar.

"Haha, Brother Yang always speaks so amusingly. We are in the federation era now. If there’s an issue, we go to the Detective Department. Although our Wudang Sect is established on Wudang Mountain, we are also under federation jurisdiction. To say that you won’t let Fellow Daoist Lu leave this area is a bit excessive."

Everyone turned to look in the direction the voice came from.

Under the night sky, an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, wearing crescent-white robes, flew over gracefully.

Holding a horsetail whisk, he appeared like a celestial being.

This old Taoist landed gently and first nodded in greeting to Fa Ning and the others, "Abbot Fa Ning, Brother Yang Kuiyuan, Master Wu Han, it’s been a long time."

The three of them nodded to the Old Taoist Priest, and Yang Kuiyuan, who was just now pompous and ready to escalate matters to murder, kept silent.

The Old Taoist Priest then turned around to look at the overly young Lu Lin beside him, raised his right hand, and said, "Daoist friend Lu, I am Zhenxuan from the Wudang Sect."

Compared to Fa Ning’s aggressive demeanor and Yang Kuiyuan’s arrogance, Daoist Zhenxuan’s attitude was clearly much more amiable.

Lu Lin returned the gesture, "Hello, Daoist Zhenxuan."

Zhenxuan was the strongest among all present, with his Star Power cultivation and Spiritual Strength at the Ninth-Level Peak. While Lu Lin wasn’t sure about his Physical Strength, an expert can tell with just a glance.

Although this Old Taoist Priest hadn’t performed any feats like breaking stones in front of Lu Lin, the forceful wind from his walking and swinging arms made it clear he was a formidable Body Refinement master.

It was the first time Lu Lin had seen a martial artist like Zhenxuan who cultivated all three paths simultaneously.

If he were to face an ordinary Level 9 Martial Artist, Lu Lin would certainly bet on Zhenxuan to win.

"As the representative of Wudang Mountain, I welcome Daoist friend Lu and all the distinguished guests who have traveled from afar. It’s only proper to extend the hospitality of a host, but this is not a place for conversation, so please follow me."

As he spoke, Zhenxuan nodded at Lu Lin and then flew up.

Lu Lin naturally wasn’t worried about Zhenxuan intending to harm him. Even if he had such thoughts, Lu Lin wasn’t afraid.

Seeing the people from the three sects next to him staring intently, Lu Lin chuckled and remained still.

At this moment,

Zhenxuan, who was flying in mid-air, found himself in a dilemma.

He thought Lu Lin would follow him, but now seeing Lu Lin standing there motionless, what should he do?

Continue flying to maintain his image?

Or turn back and invite Lu Lin again?

Why don’t young people follow the usual path nowadays?

So unpredictable.

Finally, Zhenxuan chose a middle-ground approach by slowing down his pace.

He even wondered if Lu Lin was unable to keep up due to insufficient ability.

Earlier, when standing beside Lu Lin, Zhenxuan couldn’t sense his cultivation level.

However, Lu Lin was definitely no ordinary person.

Perhaps Lu Lin had some hidden strength from a Star Martial Art, or maybe his strength was so overwhelming that Zhenxuan couldn’t sense it.

Zhenxuan shook his head, thinking it was impossible. Lu Lin looked to be only in his teens or twenties, and even if he started cultivating in the womb, what could be achieved in twenty years?

Flying along, Zhenxuan finally reached Xuanmiao Residence, an ancient-style dwelling on the outskirts of Wudang Mountain.

After landing, he intended to instruct a junior Taoist from Xuanmiao Residence to go to the parking lot and invite Lu Lin and the others over. But suddenly, a figure appeared before him.

A closer look revealed it was none other than Lu Lin.

This... Is this teleportation?

Even within the Solar System, Level 9 Martial Artists can teleport. Could Zhenxuan have misjudged and Lu Lin is truly a Level 9 Expert?

Already a Level 9 Expert, yet choosing to pretend as a handsome young man to deceive emotions.

"Daoist friend Lu, you, this is..."

"Daoist Zhenxuan, didn’t you ask me to come with you?"

Lu Lin asked with a bewildered expression.

But with such an expression, Zhenxuan’s heart was shaken.

It’s over.

Oh, mighty Taoist sovereign.

No matter why Lu Lin was able to teleport to Xuanmiao Residence, Zhenxuan knew that the group at the parking lot would definitely explode.

They had arduously pursued Lu Lin over a thousand miles only for him to vanish in an instant.

If they don’t explode now, then when?

Their fury might even result in flipping Lu Lin’s motorhome.

"Yes, yes, Daoist friend Lu, please rest here for a moment while I lead the others over."

In a hurry, Zhenxuan said, then teleported away.

He feared that if he arrived late, those people would damage Lu Lin’s motorhome.

Such actions won’t make them right.

If Lu Lin causes a scene, even the Five Great Sects of Hua Xia might not withstand Lu Lin’s wrath.

Zhenxuan hurried away and Lu Lin, unfazed, moved a cushion in the courtyard to sit down, contemplating how to handle the questions to come.

As for the jade under the Nine Light Pillars, Lu Lin was determined to take it.

But having collected only three so far already brought about reports from three "martial sects," and he still needed to take the ones from Wudang Mountain’s South Cliff and on Mount Hua.

The remaining four were beyond this range, so Lu Lin considered traveling with his parents to retrieve them.

No, now that the federation is unified, no matter which state, they’re all part of it.

In his previous life, Lu Lin stayed domestically, but didn’t expect to travel widely in this current Star Martial Age.

In the parking lot.

Yang Kuiyuan and others saw Lu Lin suddenly disappear, and only after a moment of confusion did they realize they were fooled.

"Lu Lin, you little thief, Yang Kuiyuan won’t share the same sky with you."

Though Yang Kuiyuan usually pretended to be straightforward and honest, it didn’t mean he truly was.

He pretended so long that it became true.

That little thief Lu Lin took him for a fool.

In his anger, Yang Kuiyuan drew the long sword from his waist to slash Lu Lin’s motorhome.

"Stop!"

With a swift teleport, Zhenxuan appeared, shouting out.
