Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Chapter 572: The old man riding a cow out of Hangu Pass, the giant ape that appeared in the West Asi

Over 2,000 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period in China, there lived an old man who guarded the Zhou Dynasty library. Every day, he would sit in meditation, holding a yellowed bamboo slip in his hands, immersed in the vast ocean of knowledge.

He pondered the profound philosophy between the lines of the book about the human body, all things and the universe; the old man would stroll in the mountains and fields, observing the growth patterns of all things and integrating the wisdom of nature into his heart.

Day after day, year after year, the old man continued to cultivate his wisdom. His fame gradually spread throughout the various kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, becoming a legend revered by the people. And he continued to silently forge ahead through the long river of time, steadily striding towards ever higher peaks of wisdom.

In the end, the old man rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass and headed west, leaving behind a mythical legend that purple air came from the east for 30,000 miles and Hangu Pass was first passed for 5,000 years. He was the mythical ancestor of Taoism - Lao Tzu.

This old man riding a cow has left behind legends of countless Taoists and Taoist eccentrics of later generations about his attainment of enlightenment and becoming immortals.

"So this is how the founder of Taoism accumulated wisdom. I want to be like him." Liang listened to Zhao Ming telling stories about Lao Tzu, his eyes full of admiration.

Zhao Ming smiled and nodded, "Indeed, cultivation is a long journey of reflection. Just like the Tao Te Ching left by Lao Tzu, which contains endless wisdom, everyone sees it differently. If you can comprehend a little from it, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

"Not only that, in this long process, we must also learn to adapt to nature, just like the Super Star God who represents the powerful attribute power between heaven and earth." Camilla also followed up and said that when people can see clearly the path they are taking, everything will be able to move forward smoothly.

The Cheyenne used the monster game to control the children to create a powerful weapon - Demaggu. Their conspiracy to invade the earth was shattered by the powerful force of Gunteras.

In order to save those internet-addicted teenagers who were bewitched by the Cheyne people, Fei Niao specially pulled the Super Victory Team together to organize a baseball game with those teenagers.

Hope they can make friends in real life...

Sunlight streamed down onto the baseball field, and Asuka's face was filled with anticipation. Koda, Nakajima, Kariya, Mai, and the rest of the Super Victory Team had taken their positions. Those internet-addicted teenagers, once mesmerized by the Cheyennes and immersed in the online world, arrived at the stadium with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity.

The game started, Asuka ran up to the base full of energy. While swinging his bat, he shouted to the teenagers, "Everyone relax and just enjoy the game!" Kariya, Nakajima, and Koda came on the field. Mai used encouraging eyes and words to make the teenagers gradually let down their guard.

The youngsters were a bit flustered at first, but with the encouragement of Asiniao and his teammates, they gradually got into shape. They ran, hit the ball, and defended, their clothes soaked with sweat, but their faces were filled with long-lost smiles.

Every time they scored successfully, everyone would cheer and hug each other, and an invisible bond was formed between those who were originally strangers.

As the match progressed, the boys' coordination grew stronger and stronger, actively discussing tactics and encouraging each other. Asuka watched them with a heart full of joy. This baseball game wasn't just a sporting event; it was a spiritual redemption.

Finally, after the game, everyone sat together and shared their feelings. The confusion in the young people's eyes disappeared, replaced by determination and vitality.

They understood that real friends and real interactions were far more meaningful than the virtual world of the internet. Asuka and the members of the Super Victory Team smiled at each other, and these teenagers had already embarked on the path of returning to normal life.

"Asuka's idea is great!" In the command room of the Super Victory Team, Zhao Ming, Kihi Gosuke, and Liang were sitting around the conference table, enthusiastically discussing the baseball game event held by Asuka.

Many team members accompanied Fei Niao and the children to participate in offline live events and play, leaving only the three leaders here on duty.

Liang looked disapproving and said in a sullen tone, "Come on! Fei Niao's brain is right for once. Every time before, he got carried away and made decisions on his own, leaving us to clean up the mess."

Kibi Gosuke disagreed. He smiled and said, "Young people are always reckless sometimes. Asuka was a bit too reckless, but as long as he can learn from these experiences and make changes in the future, that's all that's fine."

Kihiko is like an old father, caring about every team member and treating them as his own family.

At that moment, a rapid, urgent call suddenly rang out. Liang, who had been replacing Mai at the communications desk, quickly reached out and pressed the answer button. A familiar figure appeared on the screen—a man wearing glasses and a TPC senior staff uniform.

"Ah, it's Minister Namwon!" Liang exclaimed in surprise. This man was none other than Namwon, the former TPC operations officer and current head of the West Asia branch.

Zhao Ming took a closer look and saw that it was Staff Officer Nan Yuan. He smiled and took the initiative to greet him, "Staff Officer Nan Yuan, it's been a long time!"

Staff Officer Nanyuan smiled and responded, "Zhao Ming, it's been a while! When I was in West Asia, I heard you were leading the Black Storm Team at the police station, and you were doing an amazing job! Everyone says you're the most professional team in TPC when it comes to fighting monsters and aliens!"

Zhao Ming quickly waved his hands modestly and said, "Haha, no, no, you're too kind! Compared to you, Director Sawai, and Director Yoshitsugu back then, I'm still far behind!"

The two of them were chatting with each other in a very harmonious atmosphere. They didn't pay any attention to Kihiko Tsuneyoshi who was standing beside them, as if they treated him as air.

Liang watched Zhao Ming and Staff Officer Nanyuan chatting so enthusiastically, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. So he turned to look at Xibi Gangsuke and asked, "Captain, what's going on with them? Do you know what's going on?"

Kibi Tsunade seemed familiar with this kind of scene. He smiled and explained, "Ah... well, I've heard a little bit about this. When Zhao Ming was in the Science Bureau, there were a series of discoveries about giant civilizations from the ancient times, and these discoveries gave birth to many powerful weapons.

It was with the strong recommendation of Chief Yoshitsugu and Staff Officer Nanyuan that he was able to join the Police Bureau. Later, they became close friends regardless of age. When Chief Sawai retired, the three of them unanimously agreed to let Zhao Ming take over the position at the Police Bureau.

"So that's how it is!" Liang suddenly realized, and he admired Zhao Ming even more. After all, his man was very good at both literature and martial arts, and was proficient in astronomy, geography, ancient and modern history, science and technology.

At this moment, Nan Yuan's expression grew serious. "Zhao Ming, I'm contacting the Super Victory Team this time because of something important. A civilian energy survey team from West Asia discovered the footprints of a giant ape-like creature while conducting a geological survey in a forest."

Zhao Ming was immediately intrigued when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "How big is this giant ape creature? Is it a monster?"

"The exact situation is still unclear, but judging by the footprints, they are estimated to be around 50 to 60 meters tall. As soon as I received the news, I quickly contacted the Super Victory Team and asked them to go to the scene for an on-site investigation."

"Understood! We'll take action immediately!" As soon as Chief of Staff Nanyuan finished speaking, Kihi Gosuke immediately responded.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Staff Officer Nanyuan reminded before hanging up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Staff Officer Nanyuan arranged for someone to bring over a series of relevant information. Liang quickly projected the information onto a large screen, and everyone looked closely to see what looked like human footprints on the snow-covered forest floor.

However, this footprint is not the size of an ordinary human, but a super giant...

"Could this be left behind by those two giant ancient apes?" Zhao Ming thought of the two huge ape-like creatures, one male and one female, that Fei Niao encountered in the plot.

Thinking back on that scene, it was quite humorous and interesting. The male ape-like creature bravely courted the female ape-like creature, but the female ape-like creature was completely uninterested in him.

When the male ape failed in his courtship, he began to destroy energy building facilities. It was only when Dyna stepped in to play a trick on the male ape that he finally got his wish and got the beautiful ape.

After the Super Victory Team finished their baseball activities and returned to base, Kihi Gosuke immediately ordered Nakajima, Kariya, and Asuka to pilot the multi-purpose airship, the Alpha, to investigate the primeval forests of the West Asian branch...
