Chapter 170 A fanatic pursuing immortality!
"Papa Tom's twins?"
"No! He seems to look a little different..." Chen Jue muttered secretly in his heart as he stared at the face of the middle-aged foreigner who had taken off his mask.
The sound of the ice shelf cracking stirred up gusts of ice and snow mist all around, and the howling Antarctic gale made the clothes of the two groups of people who were looking at each other from a distance rustle.
When the last earth-shaking sound of ice breaking faded away, Linglong measured the distance of the ice crack with her eyes, and then looked at Zhao Zhen who was more than thirty meters away. Her eyes turned cold and she said with her red lips: "Zhao Zhen, is this what you said about sincerity moving mountains and opening rocks? It seems that men's words are really deceiving."
“No, no, no!”
"Miss Linglong, I can swear to God that everything I said to you is true and I have no intention of lying to you. And my feelings for you are love at first sight from the bottom of my heart and will never change!" Zhao Zhen said loudly to Linglong.
"Then who are they? Do you dare to answer me? Didn't you say you would never lie to me?" Linglong sneered and raised her hand to point at the middle-aged foreigner who took off his mask.
"He is..." Zhao Zhen was about to explain himself with a blushing face when he was questioned by Linglong, but was stopped by the middle-aged foreigner who looked like Tom's father.
The foreigner turned around, smiled at Chen Jue and Ling Long and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Chen Jue, Ms. Ling Long. Thank you for your contribution to the Extreme Sports Association."
"My name is Eugene, and my Chinese name is Zhao Zhen, which means "Zhen" (extremely perfect), not "Zhenzhen" (sincerely)."
"Zhao Zhen is still young and his mind is still simple. He doesn't know how to communicate with a woman as smart as you, Linglong. Let me chat with you next!"
"Eugene? Zhao Zhen?"
"It's strange for a white person to have a Chinese name..." Chen Jue muttered in his heart and looked at Zhao Zhen carefully.
He was about 180cm tall, about 40 or 50 years old, with blond hair and a fair face without a beard. He looked somewhat similar to Old Man Tom whom I had met before. He was wearing a tight black sportswear. He stood there tall and straight, and his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of life, as if he had experienced countless things.
"Then Uncle Zhao Zhen, can you let go of the mental barrier and let me see your true colors?" Linglong replied.
"Ha ha!"
"Linglong, if you are really as talented as the rumors say, it's okay to let you take a look. It's just a little gadget that blocks your sixth sense."
"Just consider it as your reward for finding this meteorite for me." Zhao Zhen laughed loudly, reached out and took off a black crystal pendant from his neck, and threw it to a wingsuit flying expert who was standing indifferently beside him.
But as soon as he took off the pendant, Chen Jue and Linglong both widened their eyes, because they sensed a spiritual imprint of self-superiority on Eugene's body that was intertwined and soaring into the sky. Besides, the other party's restrained blood and energy also showed that he was a master who had achieved the same great Dao as them!
"I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth."
"You, a white person, have actually practiced the Yoga Mahamudra to a level comparable to that of Buddha?" Linglong asked Zhao Zhen with serious eyes staring at him.
Zhao Zhen showed some disdain when he heard this: "Ms. Linglong, people living in this world should be fair. Just like what the Buddha said: all beings are equal."
"Since you two yellow people can achieve the same result through cultivation, why can't I, a white person, ?"
"Since I started practicing, I have visited the origin of Yoga Mahamudra, seen the Bodhi tree where the Buddha was said to have attained enlightenment, paid homage to the holy land of Mecca in the desert, and visited your flower-growing country to see the innate Tai Chi formed by the Yellow River and the Luo River, one clear and one turbid, interweaving at the edge of Chenjiagou. I have also visited your so-called martial arts holy places, Wudang and Shaolin. I have also been to countless secret places on this earth, conquered Mount Everest, and dived into the deep sea. Every journey was accompanied by the test of life and death! I have even reached outer space that countless earthlings will never be able to reach in their lifetime!"
"Based on my life experience, even if Sakyamuni, Christ, Chongyang Patriarch, or Sanfeng Taoist were resurrected, they could not reach my level. Why do you think an old white man like me cannot comprehend my own Tao?"
After hearing each other's description, Chen Jue and Linglong fell silent.
Just as the other party said, all beings are equal, the three thousand great ways are like mercury flowing on the ground, and every grain is round. As long as one can have an epiphany, no matter what race one is, as long as one is human, one has the possibility of realizing one's own great way.
Moreover, the man's eyes were full of vicissitudes and wisdom, and it was obvious that he was a man comparable to the ancient sages.
"Old man?"
"I wonder how old you are this year, Uncle Zhao Zhen?" Linglong was silent for a moment, looked at the other party and asked.
"Ms. Linglong, you are very smart and know how to capture key information."
“I admire you!”
"It's a pity... young people like you can't understand the mind of an 87-year-old man like me."
"You can rely on your youth, talent, and innate wisdom to realize your own path earlier than your predecessors, but your vision is too narrow."
"Just like the Tao you have realized, one of you only cares about being free and easy in the world and playing with the world. The other one is very smart, but he is nostalgic for the secular sects, and he doesn't want to learn how to hide in the world like a true dragon."
"In my opinion, you two have a God-given talent, but you keep squandering and wasting your time!"
"Young people like you should have a better chance of pursuing the secret of immortality and opening up a road of hope for mankind than an old man like me!" Zhao Zhen became more and more excited as he spoke, to the point that the energy and blood that had been restrained in his body could no longer be restrained and began to surge out.
"87 years old? So, Uncle Zhao Zhen, you started to be exposed to meteorite radiation very early?" Linglong continued to ask with bright eyes.
"Yes, ever since I discovered this meteorite carrying the innate Qi mentioned in the Taoist scriptures fifty years ago, I, an old man, have been on the road of chasing and searching for it."
"It is precisely because of the laziness of you young people that an old man like me is forced to make use of my remaining energy."
"It's a pity that I was alone at the time, with limited manpower, and my enthusiasm was too insignificant in the face of this vast world... and there are not many young people like you in this world who have achieved enlightenment, and even if there were, they would not join my team... Fortunately! God has not treated me unfairly!"
"Since the 1990s, human technology has been improving explosively, giving an old man like me more opportunities to dig and find them."
"Even if I am old and my physical strength and intelligence are not as good as before, there are still thousands and thousands of me who can look for the key to eternal life!" Zhao Zhen said as he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
The other eight men standing next to him, wearing black sportswear and masks, all reached out and took off the masks on their faces.
This time, not only Linglong widened her eyes, but even Chen Jue's head buzzed.
Because each of these eight people has the same face, including their body shape, and the temperament they exude is just like Zhao Zhen who is decades younger!
But if you look closely, you will find that there are slight age differences among these eight people.
Not only that, the youngest mixed-race Zhao Zhen, who was standing at the end of the team, also seemed to have integrated into their group.
"Clone!"
"You cloned yourself!"
"Uncle Zhao Zhen, you have stepped into the scientific forbidden zone of mankind and violated human ethics and morals..." Linglong took a deep breath and exclaimed.
"Since there are few geniuses like you in this world who can awaken the sixth sense and feel the innate Qi through enlightenment, and my descendants are also mediocre, then how about I, an old man, use myself as a template and personally train a few successors with the same talents as me?"
"Ethics? Scientific taboos? How ridiculous! They are nothing compared to immortality! It's just bullshit!"
"As the old saying goes: After I die, I won't care about the floods!"
"As long as I can find more meteorite fragments and conquer the secret of eternal life, what does it matter if I bear eternal infamy in the future? Maybe future generations of people will thank me! Make me a saint like Sakyamuni, Christ, and the prophets, and worship me forever!" Zhao Zhen became more and more excited as he spoke, and the obsession with eternal life in his eyes seemed to be so strong that it could not be dissolved.
Chen Jue didn't say anything, just quietly looked at this white foreigner who was crazy about eternal life.
As for Linglong, after hearing what the other party said, a complex look flashed in her eyes. Finally, she turned her head and looked at Zhao Zhen, the youngest person at the end of the ten-person team and the only one who had been transformed into a hybrid clone using genetic modification technology, and said, "It turns out that what you said before was true... a test-tube baby conceived unnaturally... a rough growth experience... You and Father Tom are indeed biological father and son... it's just that you are the father and he is the son..."
"Sorry! Miss Linglong, although I admire you and love you, we have countless reasons as to why we cannot share the meteorite with you..." Zhao Zhen shrugged without comment and acknowledged what Linglong said.
As soon as the words fell, the circling jet plane made an emergency landing in the distance and glided all the way behind them.
As the cabin door opened, the ten people split into two groups. One group of five people jointly lifted the meteorite and prepared to get on the plane, while the other five people stared at Chen Jue and Linglong with vigilance. Zhao Zhen gestured a finger kiss to Linglong. As for Zhao Zhen, the middle-aged man who had attained enlightenment, he waved at the two of them, forced out an unfathomable smile and shouted, "Goodbye! Two young people who have attained enlightenment! I wish you good luck, and I hope you can survive in this polar region of Antarctica..."
But before Zhao Zhen could finish his words, his pupils suddenly shrank. He saw Chen Jue in the distance suddenly take off his coat, sprint forward, and stomped his feet with a "bang", breaking a piece of ice under his feet. The whole person soared into the sky like a rocket, and then drew a parabola in the air that exceeded the limit of human long jump, spanning more than 20 meters, flying over nearly three-quarters of the distance of the ice crack, and finally fell under the ice surface on the opposite bank.
"Is he crazy? Committing suicide?" A ridiculous thought arose in Zhao Zhen's mind.
But just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw Chen Jue, who should have fallen into the abyss and been smashed to pieces, actually used his finger skill of "Piercing Stone Like Rot" to quickly climb up from the ice wall below.
It turned out that Chen Jue's sprint and leap just now was not a suicide attack, but he calculated that with his various attributes, he was confident enough to cross the 30-meter crack zone.
However, he was affected by the Antarctic winds when he jumped into the air, and fell uncontrollably prematurely. Fortunately, he successfully landed on the ice wall on the opposite bank. Then, with the help of his finger skills, he clung to the ice wall like a gecko. With of [Light as a Swallow], he jumped onto the ice on the opposite bank in just a few seconds.
"Old man! I don't care whether you want eternal life or want to be a god like Christ or Buddha!"
"Leave the meteorite to me first!" Chen Jue's voice echoed on the ice shelf, as if it had suppressed the howling Antarctic wind at this moment. After he jumped onto the ice, he moved his feet and pounced towards the five people carrying the meteorite like lightning.
"Stop him!" Zhao Zhen was frightened by Chen Jue's speed that exceeded human limits, and hurriedly reminded him.
The remaining clones, including the four Zhao Zhen, all attacked at the same time, using the Yoga Demon Subduing Seal, Karate Hand Knife, Tai Chi Single Whip, and an extremely rare Taizu Long Fist to attack Chen Jue directly.
Seeing this, Chen Jue exhaled breath like thunder, and a loud sound of "Tiger Roaring in the Mountains" instantly came out of his throat. A circle of white air the size of a tire rolled out of his mouth with a "roar", and it exploded directly in front of the four people like an air cannon.
Zhao Zhen and the other three clones only felt a buzzing in their ears, and the front seemed to be shaken by a white air wave carrying sound waves. Their eyes were stinging and tears welled up. In a flash, they lost sight of Chen Jue.
Chen Jue, like a butterfly flying through flowers, quickly avoided the interception of the four people and rushed straight to the meteorite lifted by the five people.
The five clones all had extremely high physical, mental and spiritual cultivation. When they sensed Chen Jue coming, they pushed the meteorite away. It fell to the ground with a thud and broke into two pieces. Then the five of them turned around at the same time and each used fierce moves to attack Chen Jue.
You know, ordinary people would definitely be no match for four people if they encountered this situation, not to mention that Chen Jue was facing five clones whose abilities were comparable to the limits of ordinary people.
However, Chen Jue was not afraid at all. Instead, his whole body turned black and blue, and he performed several hard skills superimposed on each other. His whole body swelled up, and he clenched his hands into a hammer. He performed a killing move called "Cape Hammer", using his fist instead of the hammer. His whole body was like a hammer shadow waving, as if covered by a layer of evil wind gathered by the fist shadow, and he knocked all five clones of Zhao Zhen to the ground and flew backwards. Two of them were hit by Chen Jue's single-handed punch of more than 6,000 pounds. Their eyes bulged out, their chests concave, and they fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their mouths containing internal organs and died instantly.
After blasting the five clones away, Chen Jue pounced forward again and picked up the larger half of the meteorite on the ground.
Just as he was about to grab the other small half, a creepy feeling of threat arose from behind him. Sparks of thoughts flashed in his mind, and without time to think, Chen Jue instinctively stepped forward and slid to the side at high speed along the ice like a butterfly.
A few tenths of a second later, several gunshots were heard. Zhao Zhen, who had not taken any action, suddenly took out a silver pistol that he carried with him from somewhere and shot at Chen Jue repeatedly, forcing him away from the small half of the meteorite fragment.
"Is there a gun?" Chen Jue naturally heard the gunshot, but he was not stupid enough to use his brute force to resist the bullet. Instead, at this moment, he used his agility of breaking 3 to the extreme. He threw the meteorite in the air in his hand into the crack in the distance. Without this cumbersome object, his own body speed and reaction ability soared again, and he rushed to the crack like a ghost.
The reason why Chen Jue fled was that he was worried that the remaining clones were also armed with guns. Under the indiscriminate gunfire, even he would not dare to boast that he could survive.
"Bang bang bang" there were several more gunshots. Within a few breaths, all of Zhao Zhen's shots missed. He watched helplessly as Chen Jue rolled down the glacier crack at an inhuman speed and hid his body by taking advantage of the height difference in the ice crack.
"Let's go!" Zhao Zhen could only grit his teeth in anger upon seeing this, but unfortunately he thought of the only bullet left in his pistol, and glanced at the two clones who had died instantly. He knew that it would be impossible to capture the non-human Chen Jue if he continued to stay, and that the entire army might even be wiped out. He had no choice but to show an unwilling look in his eyes, turned back and roared at all the injured clones, and hurriedly boarded the plane carrying the remaining half of the meteorite and the two bodies.
Finally, with the roar of the engine, the plane accelerated and took off.
At this moment, Chen Jue had already climbed to the bottom of the crack in the ice shelf with the help of his finger skills, and stood next to the half-broken meteorite that had fallen to the ground. He looked up at the passing plane, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
