Haiben Island.
The garrison commanders of the 10 countries stood in a row on the shore, all of them looking at the surface of the sea with expectant expressions. There were only seven days left to explore the ruins, and there were only two days left before the deadline. According to the previous experience, it was about time for all the experts to come out.
As the commander of Hua Xia, Gao Hongxing was extremely nervous. He clearly understood the deeper meaning behind this exploration of the ruins. As long as he could obtain a small amount of technology from the ruins of an advanced civilization, he would be able to promote the progress of the entire country.
A great man once said, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun."
The armed forces of the country represented the right to speak in the current era. Although China's development was rapid, it definitely could not become the number one country. Therefore, if the Huaxia team members were able to reap a great harvest in this expedition, the entire country's military strength would advance by leaps and bounds and have a qualitative leap.
"You're back."
The F Country's commander's expression changed as he shouted excitedly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on the submarine that was slowly rising from the bottom of the water. As the door of the submarine opened, the first person to appear in front of everyone was the heavily injured member of YD. At this moment, he was carrying a black leather bag. After he quickly reached the shore, dozens of YD soldiers quickly surrounded him.
Second place.
It was Kuwako Yamamoto who was carrying a black suitcase. Immediately, the people from the Japanese military looked excited and quickly protected her.
After that, when Zhu Long and the other three came out with a lot of things, Gao Hongxing waved his arm excitedly. Immediately, dozens of Hua Xia soldiers quickly surrounded the four of them and protected them.
"Where's Tan Xiu?"
Although Gao Hongxing's heart was filled with excitement, he didn't forget to ask.
Zhu Long silently shook his head and said, "We separated inside and never saw each other again. I'm afraid … the odds are against us."
Gao Hongxing silently nodded and shouted in a deep voice, "Go back."
However …
As the members of the three countries returned, the commanders of the other countries became anxious. They were waiting anxiously, but they were informed by the personnel in the submarine that no one from the other countries had returned.
Underwater ruins.
Although Tan Xiu had already taken control of the entire base, he did not remain idle. He constantly appeared in various places and stuffed large amounts of things that could be taken away into his spatial ring. In just two short days, the few spatial rings he had were stuffed to the brim.
Teng Nu had been following Tan Xiu all this time. After spending two days together, her admiration for Tan Xiu had reached a point where it was hard to increase. Tan Xiu's various magical methods, as well as the immortal techniques that he would occasionally teach her when he was in the mood, made her excited to the point where her blood surged.
"Master, can you stay a little longer?"
After returning to the control room at the center of the base, Teng Nu asked with hope.
Tan Xiu smiled and looked at the light cocoon that enveloped Cheng Xuemei in the virtual image. Now, there was only a thin layer left. He shook his head and smiled. "I still have a lot of time to deal with outside, so I can't stay here for too long. Furthermore, you'll need a lot of time to digest what I've taught you. So, you should just stay here and cultivate peacefully! I believe it won't take long for me to come back, and at that time, I'll take you out. "
Teng Nu didn't care about where she was. What she cared about was becoming stronger. Therefore, when she heard Tan Xiu's words, she immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back here."
"Go to the botanical area!" Tan Xiu said. "Bring Cheng Xuemei here."
"Alright!"
Teng Nu replied and her figure instantly disappeared.
Tan Xiu bitterly smiled inwardly. Teng Nu's speed was too fast, to the point that he couldn't even see her clearly. Moreover, Teng Nu wasn't the only one who was fast. Even the 35,680 intelligent plants in human form were extremely fast. Even the weakest one was more than ten times faster than him.
"Fortunately, I've cast a forbidden technique on them. Otherwise, they could easily cause serious injuries or even death to me with just a flick of their fingers."
Tan Xiu muttered inwardly and then began to input instructions on the virtual keyboard. He needed to close all the entrances to the ruins. He even left a hidden exit that would be closed in two days. Once it was closed, no one except him would be able to enter.
Whoosh …
Teng Nu grabbed the light cocoon and reappeared in front of Tan Xiu. At this moment, Cheng Xuemei was still unconscious inside the light cocoon and didn't know anything about the situation outside.
One day later.
When the light cocoon completely disappeared, Cheng Xuemei finally woke up from her coma. The moment she opened her eyes, Teng Nu's hands were already pressed on her shoulders.
Tan Xiu looked at Cheng Xuemei lying on the ground and faintly asked, "How do you feel now?"
Cheng Xuemei blinked her eyes and a huge aura burst out from her body. She felt that her body was full of explosive power. She even had a feeling that she could flatten a mountain in front of her with just a punch.
"I …"
Cheng Xuemei wanted to struggle to sit up, but even though her body was full of power, she was still firmly pressed by Teng Nu and couldn't get up.
Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Forget it. You don't need to explain. Although I don't know what happened to you, it seems to be a good thing. At the very least, you've become stronger, and it's not just a little bit stronger. She's Teng Nu, a light vine in human form. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to control your own power when you just woke up, so I asked her to hold you down. Listen well, when she releases you, don't suddenly get up and don't use too much power. Just slowly adapt to it. "
"Got it!"
Although Cheng Xuemei didn't know why her body would have such a change, she had obtained the consciousness of that wisdom plant, so she knew a lot of things.
BAM …
Just as Teng Nu released her shoulders, she used her arms to support herself from the ground, wanting to sit up. Her whole body was still in a half-sitting position when her body suddenly crashed into the ceiling. In an instant, she hit the steel roof that was tens of meters high.
"Ouch …"
As she hit the steel roof, a shallow pit was formed, and the pain made her scream. When her body lightly fell to the ground, she didn't feel any pain at all.
"I …"
Cheng Xuemei was dumbfounded. She felt as if she was about to break away from gravity. Her whole body was full of power, but she felt light as a feather. Apart from the pain in her head, the rest of her body couldn't be better. Especially her spirit, which simply felt like it had been completely sublimated.
Tan Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, "I told you not to use too much strength. You have a lot of power now, but you have no way to fully control it. Only by slowly adapting to it can you gradually control it. This … can be considered as the sequela of the sudden increase in strength! "
Cheng Xuemei was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She didn't expect that such a situation would happen to her. She carefully and slowly stood up and gently moved her body. The bones in her whole body made cracking sounds, and she was keenly aware that her height had increased a lot, at least by five centimeters.
Next.
After half a day of adaptation, Cheng Xuemei was finally able to control some of her power, but it was very little. Just that little bit of improvement made her bump dozens of times, and many parts of her body were in pain.
"It seems that I need to take you somewhere else to properly train."
Tan Xiu took out a set of clothes from his interspatial ring. Although it was men's clothing, Cheng Xuemei's height had increased to about 1.73 meters, so it wasn't too big to wear it.
"You conjured it?"
Cheng Xuemei was dumbfounded. Her eyesight had rapidly improved, but she still couldn't see Tan Xiu's movements clearly. It was like magic.
Tan Xiu smiled indifferently and said, "The me you knew before isn't the real me. While I help you control your power, I'll tell you some things. "
After saying that.
He said a few more words to Teng Nu and then walked outside. Bumps and bumps were inevitable due to Han Qingwu's condition along the way. Finally, he came to the exit of the relic he left behind and reached out to press a button at the entrance of the passage.
"This is …?"
Cheng Xuemei's pupils shrunk as she watched the closed passage crack open, revealing a space that looked like a cabin inside. There were even two activated robots at the entrance.
"It's called the Subaquatic Corvette," said Tan Xiu lightly. "I gave it a new name. Didn't you notice that we came here without a hitch? To tell you the truth, the entire base is under my control and all the programs have been set up by me. Now, this is the only entrance and exit in the entire relic that can be opened. The rest are all closed, and the people from other countries have already left. We don't have a submarine to pick us up, so we can only leave by the Subaquatic Corvette. "
"What?"
Cheng Xuemei exclaimed and looked at Tan Xiu in disbelief.
Tan Xiu stepped into the Subaquatic Corvette and indifferently said, "Don't make a fuss. You know too little about some things, so I'll explain them to you later. You're no longer an ordinary person, and the path you'll take in the future has completely changed. "
Cheng Xuemei shot a complicated look at Tan Xiu. After she stepped into the Subaquatic Corvette's cabin, the exit passage was closed again, and even the door of the Subaquatic Corvette slowly closed.
Tan Xiu found the control room and quickly entered a series of commands. As the Subaquatic Corvette began to sail on the seabed, Tan Xiu returned to the main cabin and looked at Han Qingwu with a complicated expression, saying, "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Tan Xiu, an Immortal Cultivator."
An Immortal Cultivator?
Cheng Xuemei's body trembled. She suddenly seemed to realize something and quickly said, "I've only heard of Daoist cultivators, but I've never heard of an Immortal Cultivator."
"That's because you don't know much," said Tan Xiu lightly. "As a matter of fact, Immortal Cultivators and Daoist cultivators are essentially the same. It's just that Immortal Cultivators are at a higher level than Daoist cultivators. What I practice is Immortal Cultivation, not Daoist. "
Suppressing the shock inside, Cheng Xuemei nodded and said, "No wonder you've become so powerful. It turns out that you're an Immortal Cultivator. Now I completely understand it. "
