120: Chapter 120 Insight

Aircraft began taking off from airports everywhere.

As time passed, the information being gathered began to be compiled.

These Five Divine Beasts were indeed not flesh and blood.

Instead, they were illusory, as if composed purely of energy, much like the manifestations of the Moves unleashed by a Martial Artist.

This point left many people unable to fathom the reason.

Currently, the strongest in the martial world are Xiantian Experts.

But even for Xiantian Experts, there is the concept of an operating range.

The limit of one's Divine Sense is the limit of one's energy manipulation.

However, at this moment, although these Five Divine Beasts had already exceeded the distance range that a Xiantian Expert could manipulate.

The Five Divine Beasts were rushing towards five different directions.

The fast ones far exceeded the speed of sound, and even the slower Black Tortoise was approaching the speed of sound.

Regarding the five directions, the west and north were already approaching the border lines because they were close to them.

Judging by their momentum, it was feared that they would cross the national border before long.

Neighboring countries already had fighter jets take off, waiting in readiness.

As time passed, one fighter jet after another chased the phantoms of the Divine Beasts.

The information that the Divine Beasts were not made of flesh and blood, but were instead composed of energy, had also spread.

By this point, it was no longer just the upper echelons who knew this news.

As the huge figures of the Five Divine Beasts galloped into the distance, their shadows appeared over one city after another.

This was especially true for the three Divine Beasts: the Vermilion Bird, the Azure Dragon, and the Qilin.

The further they flew, the more cities they appeared over.

The more people saw their figures, the more there were.

In the end, thousands upon thousands of people saw these behemoths skimming across the sky above their cities.

Everyone was in an uproar.

The entire internet was about to explode.

In just a moment, these messages rapidly ascended to the highest point of national discussion.

Some were surprised, some were excited, and some were panicked.

Thousands upon thousands of people were stirred.

A massive number of people felt that something even bigger was about to happen.

Even the fighter jets chasing behind those Divine Beasts were considered proof that the state was concealing relevant information.

Some were even clamoring for the state to make it public.

...

Laojun Temple.

Bai Zhu put down the phone in his hand and slowly stood up.

His brows furrowed.

Just now, the Security Bureau had called him, asking him to check on the phantom of the Divine Beast in the sky.

Bai Zhu was naturally aware of the overwhelming discussions on the internet.

He was interested, but he did not expect that the Security Bureau knew nothing at all.

Instead, they wanted him to investigate.

Moreover, they told him to watch out for his own safety and to evacuate immediately if anything went wrong.

This was interesting.

A strange look flashed in Bai Zhu's eyes.

He was still very confident in his own strength.

Opening the door, Bai Zhu walked out gently.

After telling his master, Bai Zhu shot up into the sky and flew toward the location predicted by the Security Bureau.

Soon, Bai Zhu flew to a hilltop outside the city.

He checked the time; according to the time given by the Security Bureau, there were ten minutes left before the Vermilion Bird phantom would pass through here.

Bai Zhu stood in the Void Realm, quietly watching the distance.

Ten minutes was a short time.

When that moment arrived, Bai Zhu slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was cast into the distance.

A patch of red light appeared at the end of his field of vision.

The red light spread extremely fast.

It soon broke into Bai Zhu's Divine Sense range.

Fire.

Scorching fire.

Incomparably scorching fire.

Bai Zhu frowned slightly.

His Divine Sense feedback made him feel a trace of strangeness.

"What is this?!"

Bai Zhu moved his body slightly and blocked the path that the red light had to pass through.

The Vermilion Bird phantom, with its phoenix wings soaring in the sky, was clearly reflected in his eyes.

The incomparable fire-attribute Spiritual Qi began to stir, as if welcoming a king.

Crackle!

Silver light flashed, and streaks of Thunder appeared around Bai Zhu.

He raised his right hand, and the Thunder gathered; a blinding light appeared on his palm.

The energy carried by that Vermilion Bird was extremely massive, and it was already comparable to a newly Breakthrough Innate.

Bai Zhu was confident that he could stop this Vermilion Bird phantom.

He wanted to see what this phantom really was.

The Vermilion Bird flew across the sky, its huge figure suffused with a large expanse of red light.

That was the boiling of the fire Spiritual Qi in Heaven and Earth.

The silver light in Bai Zhu's hand became even more blinding.

Ten thousand meters.

Nine thousand meters.

Seven thousand meters.

Five thousand meters...

Until three thousand meters.

The massive Vermilion Bird, carrying monstrous red light, rushed straight into the range covered by Bai Zhu's Divine Sense.

Bai Zhu pushed his right hand forward, and the huge Thunder began to flash, crackling and spreading continuously, extending out like a net.

But at that very instant, Bai Zhu shuddered violently.

He suddenly widened his eyes.

He looked at the Vermilion Bird in front of him with incomparable shock.

"The aura... how could it..."

Bai Zhu felt the aura within the Vermilion Bird phantom with immense horror.

The moment his Divine Sense enveloped the Vermilion Bird, he shockingly discovered that the aura within that Vermilion Bird was one he was extremely familiar with.

"Ji Yebai!!!"

Bai Zhu gritted his teeth sharply and waved his hand, dissipating the Thunder that filled the sky.

Boom!!!

The huge Vermilion Bird galloped over, carrying the red light that filled the sky, instantly engulfing Bai Zhu.

Feeling the violent surge of massive fire-attribute Spiritual Power, and also feeling the massive Vermilion Bird pass through his body, Bai Zhu stood stunned on the spot.

Divine Will?!

It was actually Divine Will?!

How could it be... How was it possible?!

Time passed minute by minute.

The sky-covering Vermilion Bird disappeared into the distance.

And Bai Zhu stood blankly in the Void Realm.

The look of shock did not dissipate for a long time.

Divine Will!

He understood it earlier than anyone else.

But precisely because of this, he was even more shocked.

He knew the 'what', and he knew the 'why'.

Therefore, when he discovered that this Vermilion Bird was Divine Will, it almost shattered his worldview.

"How could it be so powerful..."

Bai Zhu's heart surged violently.

One Vermilion Bird phantom was already so powerful, and the most crucial thing was that this Vermilion Bird was actually Divine Will.

Divine Will was one thing!

There were actually five such powerful Divine Wills.

Five types.

Five types!

Haa!

Bai Zhu exhaled like thunder, forcibly suppressing his palpitating heart.

He fell silent.

Ji Yebai, the person who had left the deepest impression on him in this life!

"You are truly worthy of yourself!"

Bai Zhu smiled silently.

His eyes were dazed, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.

That year, he was still young, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had not recovered, and he and his Senior Brothers were waiting for the arrival of the Kunlun Saint; that year, they were still in high spirits.

Then, Ji Yebai appeared and took on dozens of them alone.

You must know, that was an era when Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had not recovered.

Even a world martial arts champion would not dare to let dozens of people besiege him with long swords.

But Ji Yebai did it.

Not only did he do it, but he also defeated them all.

Then, he followed the Kunlun Saint to practice martial arts for three years.

When Heaven and Earth recovered, he leaped to become an Innate.

To be honest, for a period of time, Bai Zhu had forgotten about Ji Yebai.

The more he realized the power of an Innate, the more he understood how difficult it was to Breakthrough.

Later, he saw Ji Yebai in the Amazon ancient forest.

A First-Class Martial Artist!

At that time, Bai Zhu felt a sigh of relief.

But he did not expect that subsequent developments would become twisted again.

Meeting on the third floor of the Tower of Heaven, that Ji Yebai had actually achieved what others could not, birthing five types of Divine Will, and entering the Innate realm in one fell swoop.

Innate is Innate!

As fellow Innates, Bai Zhu had long been prepared for the birth of other Innates.

But.

Today.

He was shocked.

"So, unknowingly, you have already surpassed me..."

The low voice was like muffled thunder.

Rumble!

Thunder rolled in the sky, and huge, pitch-black clouds appeared abruptly in the sky overhead.

They shrouded the world in darkness.

Bai Zhu lowered his head, and streaks of lightning appeared.

His heart could not be calm.

More than ten minutes later.

The people from the Security Bureau appeared.

However, the surrounding environment made them terrified.

The black clouds pressed down on the city overhead, angry thunder rolled, and the air was permeated with irritable lightning.

All of this made them unable to help but swallow their saliva.

Swish!

Bai Zhu appeared in front of the people from the Security Bureau in an instant, with tiny electric sparks crackling.

"No need to chase anymore!"

Before the words fell, a flash of lightning occurred, and the figure dissipated.

"Hmm?"

The people from the Security Bureau were full of confusion.
