My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 90 - 84: Impersonation, Lu Xuan’s Tomb Appears

Chapter 90: Chapter 84: Impersonation, Lu Xuan’s Tomb Appears

Lu Xuan shot up from his seat, strode to the window, and looked up. In the sky above, a series of great suns streaked toward the shantytown, their power immense and overwhelming.

Each of these great suns was a Celestial Human!

Under the pressure of dozens of these colossal suns, East Sea City fell silent once again. Vendors packed up their stalls, and citizens hurried home, bolting their doors and windows. In moments, the streets were empty.

Gazing at the magnificent spectacle in the sky, Lu Xuan sighed softly.

"It’s just a single realm of difference, yet the gap is as wide as heaven and earth..."

"Cultivators at the Jade Tower level are, in the end, still within the realm of ’human.’ Only upon reaching the Grandmaster realm can they barely manage to fly."

"But once they begin Climbing the Divine Ladder and become a Celestial Human, they can travel across the Celestial Vault like a Great Sun itself!"

Xiaoyan had walked up behind Lu Xuan at some point. She spoke with a hint of worry.

"There are so many Celestial Humans in the city now... Xiaolu, you provoked too many people before. You’ll definitely be targeted once you enter the ruins. With this many Celestial Humans..."

"Indeed." Ao Chengzhong came forward, his expression solemn. "There are dozens of Celestial Humans in the open, and that’s not counting those hidden in the shadows. Right now, there are probably over a hundred Celestial Humans in East Sea City heading for the ruins."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"Longque Technology isn’t planning to send anyone into the ruins this time, so there’s no one to protect you. All sides are watching you like a hawk. If you go openly in your capacity as Vice-Director, it will be very troublesome."

Lu Xuan’s expression shifted slightly.

"Uncle Ao, you mean?"

"I’ll contact City Hall and tell them you’re feeling unwell, so you won’t be entering the ruins with the rest of the Inspectorate. Then I’ll arrange another way for you to get there. It will help you avoid a lot of trouble."

"Alright," Lu Xuan nodded decisively.

Ao Chengzhong let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

"I thought you might refuse... After all, at your age and with your accomplishments, people tend to be eager to show off."

"I’m not an idiot," Lu Xuan said helplessly. "Going in so openly would certainly make a statement, but the moment I’m inside the ruins and out of your sight, I’d probably be targeted by at least ten Celestial Humans at once. It’d be a miracle if I survived."

"It’s best that you understand that."

Ao Chengzhong nodded slightly, then said,

"I’ve already made the arrangements. I’ve urgently called in a Celestial Human who has no apparent connection to Longque Technology. You’ll pose as his nephew and enter the ruins with him. After that... you’ll be on your own."

With that, he patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder and added a warning.

"Prioritize your safety above all else."

"I understand, Uncle Ao."

Xiaoyan shuffled forward, blinking her big eyes, and said very seriously,

"Xiaolu, Xiaolu, if anyone gives you a hard time in there, tell me when you get out! I’ll get even for you!"

As she spoke, she fiercely shook her small fists.

"My dad is super strong... and I’m super strong, too!"

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, then nodded solemnly.

"Alright. If I get bullied, I’ll come crying to you!"

Yan Jiangxue beamed with a lovely smile.

Ao Chengzhong, however, cleared his throat lightly as a reminder.

"By the way, because the screening is so strict, the identity I’ve arranged for you is a real person... and someone you know."

"Me? I know them?" Lu Xuan was clearly taken aback. ’When did I ever meet the junior of a Celestial Human?’

Ao Chengzhong’s expression became a little strange.

"So, if you don’t plan on revealing your identity at all, you must act with some restraint to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the original owner of the identity... Of course, if you plan to reveal your true self in the end, then it doesn’t matter."

.......

According to the weather forecast, it was supposed to rain in East Sea City today.

But with Celestial Humans moving through the sky like Great Suns, the gathering rain clouds were all dispersed. The sky was clear, without a single cloud for thousands of miles.

The shantytown had long since been cordoned off by a joint force, from the Inspectorate’s Inspectors to the employees of various Super Conglomerates. There were even two massive warships hovering overhead... though they were useless, of course.

These days, a warship capable of interstellar travel was no match for a single Celestial Human. It was more for show than for any practical purpose.

"Halt!" an employee from Sakata Heavy Industries shouted. "This area is temporarily restricted. No entry."

The old Daoist glanced up nonchalantly. A divine light flashed from his eyes, and a terrifying pressure washed over them. The expressions of the personnel in charge of the blockade changed drastically.

"Greetings, Celestial Human!"

The Sakata Heavy Industries employee at the front was so frightened he dropped to his knees. No matter the reason, if he was killed for offending a Celestial Human, no one would stand up for him. The company certainly wouldn’t anger a Celestial Human over a minor employee.

The old Daoist gave a faint nod.

"Qingxin Daoist of Qingxin Temple, here with my nephew."

"Please, go ahead!"

The old Daoist said no more and walked into the shantytown, followed by an ordinary-looking young man with a large black mole on his face.

The shantytown didn’t look much different than before. The dirt still gave off a faint, sour stench. Old Chen’s cart, which he used to sell sugar-fried chestnuts, was abandoned on the road. The place was deserted.

"Second Uncle," the young man with the large black mole on his face chuckled. "So you and Uncle Wu... my dad... are actual brothers..."

The Qingxin Daoist smiled.

"Datong was the one who built my Daoist Temple for me. I also owe much of my Cultivation to him."

He paused for a moment before giving a word of caution.

"You should still be careful on this trip."

"I understand." Lu Xuan nodded lightly, but he felt a little strange. ’Yeah, wearing Wu Xiaoxu’s face is a bit uncomfortable...’

’But it really is an excellent identity. His biological father is a contemporary Earth Immortal and the Vice Governor of Langya Province. His biological uncle is also a Celestial Human, a free spirit who has roamed far and wide for years and is extremely well-liked...’
