Chapter 262

On the Shengshan, it was as quiet as before.

Jiang Jian landed, and apart from the whistling wind, there was not a single shadow to be seen.

"The world portal has no signs of damage."

"The academy teachers and past students should not have left."

He raised his head and looked above the Earth-Moon stone sculpture.

There.

A huge vortex covered the sky and sun, rotating slowly.

Every moment.

It was stirring the incredible and mighty spiritual energy at the extreme of the sky.

Previously, the Moon Realm was in turmoil.

The planetary barrier was compressed.

Causing all world portals of the Nine-Fold Realm of Chang'an Prefecture to close.

Until now, they had not reopened.

"The pavilion Shen Xi mentioned should be here."

Jiang Jian took a step forward, and his figure dissipated.

The next second.

Amidst the intertwining black light, wearing a snow-white robe, he appeared in front of the pavilion door.

What surprised Jiang Jian was.

This pavilion door was actually wide open.

Looking inside.

The pavilion was very spacious, with many cabinets placed inside, each with a number, and it looked like there was no protection at all.

Clearly.

What was inside was not just his identity device, but also the things of other students.

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment and walked toward the pavilion.

Suddenly.

A harsh creaking sound came.

A wooden puppet walked out of the door, its eyes glowing with ghostly light, blocking Jiang Jian's path.

"The Gatekeeper has an order."

"Academy students can only take their identity devices after reaching the Palace Realm."

Its voice was hoarse, mixed with an unpleasant friction sound.

Jiang Jian frowned, stopped, and did not argue with it.

He could see.

This puppet was a Palace Realm demon spirit.

It was ordered to guard here and would only execute orders, unable to be flexible at all.

"Where is the Gatekeeper?"

Jiang Jian pondered for a moment and asked.

The puppet shook its body and shook its head, saying: "I don't know."

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, changed his phrasing, and asked again: "When did the people on the Shengshan leave?"

This time.

The puppet did not answer immediately, but stepped forward, and amidst the creaking sound, walked to Jiang Jian.

It stared closely at Jiang Jian, its ghostly eyes flickering, and asked back: "The people of the Earth-Moon Academy, without exception, all went to the Great Zhou Dynasty, why are you here?"

Demon light surged around the puppet, and its tone turned cold.

Clearly.

It was already suspicious of Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian's expression was calm, he dispersed the spiritual aura around him, and said: "As a pavilion guardian, the data you hold should include my bone appearance."

After his spiritual essence energy recovered to full, it turned into faint light surrounding his body.

Concealing his original bone appearance, making it unclear to others.

Ordinary Palace Realms, if they don't use special means, find it difficult to see through his spiritual aura barrier.

As Jiang Jian revealed his true appearance here.

The puppet was startled, its tone clearly surprised: "It's actually you!"

Its expression changed, it took out a piece of brocade, and handed it to Jiang Jian.

"The Gatekeeper specifically instructed that if Jiang Jian comes here, give this to him."

As it spoke.

The puppet looked puzzled, "But in my sensing, your cultivation aura is only Spring Realm."

"Shouldn't your cultivation be Palace Realm?"

The next second.

Jiang Jian took the brocade, did not explain, and said: "The identity device, please give it to me as well."

The puppet frowned tightly and said: "But the Gatekeeper said that academy students can only take their identity devices after reaching the Palace Realm."

Jiang Jian smiled and said: "According to what you said, the Gatekeeper also said that if I come here, give me the identity device and the brocade together."

Hearing this.

The puppet stood where it was, its expression confused, struggling: "The Gatekeeper did say that."

It pondered hard, but still couldn't figure out how the omnipotent Gatekeeper could issue completely contradictory orders.

After all.

If an academy student can come out of the Breakthrough Hall.

It means they broke the Divine Illumination barrier and became a Palace Realm.

If the breakthrough fails, the backlash of the star universe rules is enough to make a person die on the spot.

But here, Jiang Jian completely broke the inherent conventions.

Although he didn't break through.

He relied on various means to forcibly resist the failure backlash and did not die.

For hundreds of years.

Jiang Jian was the first student of the Earth-Moon Academy to walk out of the Breakthrough Hall but not be a Palace Realm.

"I am taking the identity device to execute the Gatekeeper's dispatch."

Jiang Jian said in a deep voice, "If I can't get the identity device and the matter is delayed, can you bear the blame?"

The puppet hesitated for a moment, weighed it in its heart, and said no more.

It turned and walked into the pavilion, searching slightly.

A few seconds later.

The puppet came out of the pavilion, holding a transparent wristwatch in its hand.

"Linjiang Prefecture, Jiang Jian."

It reached out and handed the wristwatch to Jiang Jian, "Your identity device."

In the puppet's mind.

The rule that one can only collect the identity device after reaching the Palace Realm.

Was something the Gatekeeper said a long time ago.

But giving the brocade and the identity device to "Jiang Jian" together was something the Gatekeeper specifically instructed.

Although as a tool demon spirit, the puppet's original IQ was suppressed by the array, becoming somewhat mechanized.

But with a rough judgment, it could still notice.

Things that the Gatekeeper specifically took out and informed about were more important.

"Thank you."

Jiang Jian took the wristwatch and put it on his hand.

Crack!

As Earth's top technology, faint light appeared on the identity device.

In an instant, it confirmed Jiang Jian's identity.

A clicking sound came.

The identity device and his wrist fit seamlessly in the blink of an eye!

Jiang Jian lowered his gaze, looked at the identity device, his expression heavy.

He walked under the Earth-Moon stone sculpture, stretched out his pale, slender fingers, and clicked the identity device continuously.

A holographic screen emerged.

A series of alert sounds came urgently!

Thousands of communications were arranged in order.

And the top, most recently sent communication.

Was just a few minutes ago!

The signatory was none other than his sister, Jiang Zhao!
