Chapter 377
Chen Xuan's words just now made no attempt to hide anything from everyone. The dozen or so projects that required the entire nation's resources to manufacture were on a scale comparable to the military equipment needed for World War III.
However, Chen Xuan said in the end that these were just rough estimates, and the actual situation might be far worse than expected.
The sheer volume of information left the Celestial Master and the others stunned and speechless for a long time after Chen Xuan ended his call with Elder Long.
"Old Celestial Master, two Taoist priests, comrades from Bureau 749..."
Chen Xuan looked at everyone, his gaze firm and powerful. "This has already happened and cannot be changed. All we can do is to do our utmost to protect the people of Longxia and prevent them from becoming monsters who only know how to kill."
Chen Xuan looked up at the sky and sighed, "As for how far we can ultimately achieve, we can only leave it to fate."
"Xiao Xuan, what exactly happened?" The old master knew that Chen Xuan was not one to speak carelessly, and his voice trembled slightly at this moment.
"Everyone, the great earthquake just now was indeed caused by spiritual energy erupting from the ground beneath Mount Fuji, and it was extremely pure. I have personally tested it, and any living being can easily absorb this spiritual energy."
Chen Xuan's gaze slowly swept over the crowd, and before anyone could show any joy, he ruthlessly poured cold water on their faces.
"However, this seemingly pure spiritual energy hides a strange property that can make species become violent and bloodthirsty. Moreover, similar spiritual energy eruptions like those at Mount Fuji are happening simultaneously in more than three thousand locations around the world at this moment."
"I don't know how long it will take for this violent spiritual energy to cover the entire atmosphere of Blue Star, but I know that we, humanity, have very little time left."
Chen Xuan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts, leaving each person stunned.
Chen Xuan looked at everyone and said, "Faced with such powerful forces that require no threshold and are readily available, neither humans nor other creatures can resist them. Without the guidance of wisdom, yet possessing strength as great as our Xuanmen, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Is there really no way to remedy this?" The old master frowned, his eyes filled with worry.
Chen Xuan looked at the old Celestial Master and asked, "How many Taoists are there in my Longxia Taoist sect now, whether it is Quanzhen or Zhengyi?"
“Around 25000.” Zhang Zhishun, who had served as the vice president of the Taoist Association, knew this number very well and answered without hesitation.
"There are approximately 6000 Taoist priests receiving official positions," the old Celestial Master added.
"6000 people who can draw talismans?" Chen Xuan was initially delighted, but then a thought flashed through his mind: "This is beyond my expectations."
After saying that, Chen Xuan made a sword finger with one hand, mobilized the spiritual energy in his body, and slowly outlined it in the void.
Blue lines flowed from Chen Xuan's fingertips, gradually forming a mysterious talisman unlike anything seen before.
"This talisman was created by me by combining my profound understanding of the art of talisman making with my current level of cultivation. I will temporarily name it: Calamity-Responding Talisman."
"You must remember this and then quickly convey it to the Taoist Association and all schools, making sure they produce as many of these talismans as possible in the shortest amount of time."
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, no one dared to be negligent in the slightest. Some hurriedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures, while others immediately sketched and repeatedly verified the drawing.
Chen Xuan continued, "Those Taoist disciples who have not yet received their blessings can also inscribe this talisman. They only need to visualize my image in their minds while drawing the talisman, and the talisman will exert its due power."
After the three sect leaders finished copying the Calamity-Responding Talisman, they looked at each other in shock as soon as they used it.
"This talisman is extremely effective in exorcising evil spirits, promoting righteousness, and gathering one's own positive energy. It also has a certain protective power."
"This talisman does not belong to any existing Taoist talisman system."
After using it, the three sect leaders shared their insights and experiences.
"Xiao Xuan, your mastery of talismans has reached its pinnacle?" The old celestial master and the others looked at Chen Xuan with amazement in their eyes.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "I have already reached the perfect state, which is why I am able to create new Dao talismans."
These words made Wang Ye and his two so-called disciples seem thoughtful.
"Master, is it true that as long as one's own cultivation level is high enough, or one achieves a certain level of success in the art of talismans, one can visualize your Dharma image and use the Daoist aura emanating from you to create talismans and manifest their power?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Yunlong nodded. "That's right. The reason we can use the power of the Dao Ancestor to make talismans and exorcise evil spirits is similar in principle. However, the Dao Ancestor's lineage is long and has already formed a strict system of promotion."
Wang Ye and the other two were deeply shocked after hearing this, and stared at Chen Xuan with fervent eyes.
Does this mean that Chen Xuan is fully capable of establishing his own sect, and that his disciples can draw powerful talismans simply by visualizing images without needing to receive any rewards?
After memorizing the talisman for warding off calamity, the old celestial master and the others took out their cell phones and made calls one by one.
Subsequently, the image of the Calamity-Preventing Talisman was sent to the communication groups of various religious sects.
After completing all this, the three retainers of Bureau 749 returned to the Dragon Summer Special Forces.
Wang Ye and his two companions, under Chen Xuan's instructions, headed towards the Flying Immortal Temple.
At this moment, only Chen Xuan and the four old celestial masters remained on the mountain peak.
"The rest is up to us to handle." Chen Xuan's voice was calm and firm. He then told everyone the location of the nine mountains in Longxia that were gushing out violent spiritual energy.
"We must seal off these sources of spiritual energy as quickly as possible. I will set up a grand formation to block the future infiltration of violent spiritual energy from outside Longxia."
After receiving the coordinates shared by Chen Xuan, the three nodded solemnly.
The four looked at each other and shouted in unison, "The heavens are vast and boundless, our Dao is flourishing!"
Before the words were even finished, four figures shot off like arrows in four different directions.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan and the others disappeared into the vast night.
