Ling Tian summoned two giant bears, one was Xiong Da, an ordinary black bear, and the other was Xiong Er, the Ice Soul Giant Bear.
Ling Tian directly gave the two bears their orders, and these two immediately stepped forward and began to excavate the obsidian discs on the ground.
The obsidian discs that formed the eyes of the formation were much larger and heavier than those Ling Tian had obtained earlier.
However, this weight was nothing to the two giant bears, each four meters long. Soon, all the formation eyes were dug out, and with a flash of Ling Tian's thought, these obsidian stones were collected into his spiritual realm space.
The next moment, the entire surrounding space changed. If one were to look down from a satellite, they would be astonished to see that what was previously a vast forest was now a flat, open space!
And in the center of the open space stood the ancient building of great historical significance – the White Fox Palace!
The Ghost Realm barrier was destroyed, and the illusion was gone, exposing everything to everyone.
The next moment, a gyrfalcon took to the sky, carrying Ling Tian away from the area.
Although Ling Tian really wanted to destroy the White Fox Palace and then continue to blame the Ise Grand Shrine, it was broad daylight, and Ling Tian did not want to cause such a commotion.
More importantly, Ling Tian had already seen the慘狀 (cǎn zhuàng -慘狀) below the mountain. From the mountainside downwards, almost all the trees and buildings had been destroyed by the flood.
Ling Tian quickly figured out how these things had happened and where all the water had gone. He could imagine the destruction these floods could cause.
If those Japanese people knew that he was involved in this, they would surely hold him accountable, and Ling Tian was unwilling to be the scapegoat.
Therefore, he chose to leave quietly. This way, even if the Japanese people wanted to settle the score, the blame would fall solely on the White Fox Palace, as it was their Ghost Realm barrier that had caused the trouble.
As for whether the White Fox Palace would deny it, did that matter? The water flowed down from the back of the Seimei Shrine, and this mountain was also the private property of the Seimei Shrine. Denial would be useless!
Ling Tian went directly to Mie Prefecture. His next target was the Ise Grand Shrine. Every grievance has its source, and the origin of this matter was the Ise Grand Shrine extending its claws towards China. Ling Tian naturally would not let them off the hook.
He booked a hot spring guesthouse and checked in. Then, Ling Tian saw the慘狀 (cǎn zhuàng -慘狀) of Kyoto on the television program.
This made Ling Tian somewhat fortunate. It was estimated that all factions in Japan had already sent people to Kyoto to investigate the origin of the flood.
He could imagine that the White Fox Palace would definitely try to pin all the blame on Ling Tian.
It was good that he had left quietly now, leaving no clues or evidence. Even if the White Fox Palace wanted to shift the blame, they wouldn't know who to blame.
Then, Ling Tian used the excuse of going on a trip and directly hid in his spiritual realm space. Firstly, he needed to heal his injuries; it was troublesome to leave these wounds untreated.
The other matter was to deal with the Onikiri Katana. There was no way around it; this sword was too famous in Japan. If Ling Tian were to take out this sword and be recognized, he might be linked to the White Fox Palace's affairs by those with ulterior motives.
Ling Tian planned to melt this Onikiri, also known as Hyakutsuki, with the Onikiri he had personally forged to create a new weapon.
...
At the White Fox Palace, the entire palace had been hidden by the安倍 (Ānbèi) family's onmyoji using a temporary formation.
This was essentially a "Mizu no Jin" (迷踪阵 - mí zōng zhèn), a formation that could conceal and distract. Its function was far inferior to the Ghost Realm barrier.
In a room within the White Fox Palace, the current master of the White Fox Palace, Abe Daishi, looked with a grave expression at the man kneeling opposite him.
This was a man in his early fifties, with an extraordinary appearance and a distinguished demeanor. However, what was even more striking was that this man was wearing a military uniform!
This person was named Hirano Saburo, a General in the Ground Self-Defense Force of Japan, and an absolutely influential figure in the Japanese military.
He had come to find Abe Daishi to reach a cooperation.
As the Immortal Palace "Little Star" (小星星 - xiǎo xīng xīng) drew closer to Earth, the concentration of spiritual energy on Earth was increasing, causing some humans to undergo changes.
These changes naturally did not escape the attention of the Japanese authorities. To cope with these changes, the Japanese government had established some special departments to secretly recruit individuals with special abilities to deal with the upcoming changes and impacts.
Among these, the Japanese military was unwilling to be left behind and was stirring.
It was known that Japan had been a member of the Axis powers in World War II, and after the war, they had also faced severe sanctions.
Even their military could not be called an army, only the Self-Defense Forces, and their development was restricted everywhere.
Although they colluded with the Americans in international affairs, they were merely dogs of the Americans.
Japan was not incapable of developing nuclear weapons, but they dared not. If they dared to entertain any thought of manufacturing nuclear weapons, their "American Daddy" would let them know what "world nuclear peace" meant.
It was only in recent years, with the changes on Earth, that the Japanese military saw hope. Thus, they secretly promoted a plan to create powerful warriors.
This plan involved using genetic engineering and some drugs to modify the human body.
In fact, the United States had been doing this for hundreds of years, using genetic technology to modify the human body. The very famous Captain America was actually a gene warrior.
The United States had already developed gene warriors, but the combat effectiveness of these gene warriors was not as exaggerated as depicted in movies.
Moreover, the shelf life of these gene warriors was extremely short, only two to three years. After this period, the bodies of these modified individuals would deteriorate severely, eventually leading to death.
Therefore, the United States only researched this field in secret and did not promote it on a large scale.
But the Japanese were different. They had the so-called "craftsmanship spirit," and on the path of perversion, if Japan did not rank second, no other country would dare to rank first.
Thus, under the leadership of the Japanese military, they began their research on gene warriors, naming them "God-Gifted Warriors" and achieving phased results.
However, the gene warriors created through ordinary genetic technology to enhance the human body could not satisfy the Japanese military, because the strength of the human body had its limits, and even with enhancement, there was an upper limit!
