Chapter 82 - The Falling Star of Mount Tai Incident (2/2)

According to what he remembered, the restoration of spirit qi would have gotten more profound before long, and peculiar happenings would have taken place with increased frequency. The government would not have been able to keep things under wraps for long and would have to tell the world what happened.

He had to be powerful enough before that happened.

It was especially so due to the presence of the Luo Clan, which was like a Sword of Damocles to him. However, he did not have any certainty of being able to handle the backlash from the Luo Clan and the Taichu Path, which was the force behind the clan, after he was done wrecking the clan.

He would not have wanted to suffer serious retaliation of failing to get rid of the likes of the Luo Clan once and for all.

Since he intended to get rid of them, he saw it fit to be thorough with it and be strong enough to quell any retaliation.

As such, Lu Xuan saw it fit to hold all his killing intent in at the moment, waiting for better opportunities to make his move in the future.

He also had no intention of alerting the enemy before that, wanting to maintain the illusion of the Luo Clan being capable of easily wiping him out any time they fancied, not knowing that he was amassing power at an unbelievable rate.

Time seemed to fly as one cultivated. Ten days passed before he knew it.

As time passed, more and more peculiar happenings took place in society. A lot of surreal things happened around everyone.

The existence of cultivators began to gradually spread in smaller circles.

The government chose to continue to stay quiet about it all, not even bothering to bring any of it up.

Lu Xuan, who was cultivating in isolation for the night, received a call from Yun Sheng out of the blue.

“Chief Yun, what made you call me at such a late hour?” Lu Xuan asked, feeling something was off.

“Mr. Lu, very urgent matters!” Yun Sheng’s anxiousness from the other end of the phone was unmistakable.

“What happened?” Lu Xuan looked serious all of a sudden. He knew that Yun Sheng would not have called him all so suddenly if what happened was something they could have handled.

“Have you heard the news about a meteor hitting Mount Tai two nights ago?” Yun Sheng asked.

Lu Xuan recalled something right away when Yun Sheng brought that up. The news that caught everyone’s attention for the past two days had been the thing about a meteor crashing from the sky.

It happened two days ago when the sky had just turned dark. A huge meteor fell into Earth’s orbit and crashed into Mount Tai at a frightening speed.

There had not been many tourists getting off the mountain at that time, and some who had gotten off of the mountain were resting at the base.

All of them caught sight of that astonishing phenomenon.

That would not have been that much news if that was all that happened. What made the scene so eye-catching was how Mount Tai burst into a towering glow the very instant the meteor hit the mountain, which was bright and dazzling enough to turn night into day.

The dazzling lights actually turned into a huge barrier that shrouded the entire mountain. That meteor vanished into thin air as soon as it crashed into the mountain.

The sighting spread throughout the world in just a single night. Many took pictures of that surreal happening on their phones.

It could have even been said that Mount Tai became world-renowned in just one night.

However, all talk about what happened at Mount Tai disappeared the next day. Everyone understood that someone clamped down on the news, yet the rumors about Mount Tai nonetheless circulated overseas, and many circumvented the censorship to see videos of that spectacular happening.

That happening that came to be known as the “Falling Star of Mount Tai Incident.”
