Chapter 389: Xuan Ling History Book Time Backtracking!
Jing Yan extended a mechanical arm; it looked like an octopus tentacle, with eight blades at the end.
The joints of the tentacle looked like crystal bones, completely invisible, flying and stabbing the target a hundred miles away.
"Hiss, so heavy!" Inside the swimming barrier, Jing Yan, who had multiple mechanical tentacles on his back, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"What's so heavy?" Zhao Xing took a look; the Wandering God barrier was mobile and could be observed from the inside out. He saw one of Jing Yan's mechanical arms stretched straight, smashing into a deep pit in the ground.
"Didn't a Great Supernatural Realm book puppet just die? I went to fish for its supernatural power decree, but found I couldn't get it." Jing Yan's face flushed, and the spiritual energy behind him began to boil.
"Too heavy, this piece of paper."
"A Great Supernatural Power appeared?" Yu Tianqing asked.
"The possibility is not high." Zhao Xing shook his head: "The tomb owner should be a Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm cultivator; where would he get so many Great Supernatural Power laws? He is not a preaching scholar, I'm afraid it's still the material reason of the paper."
"However, this decree should carry a part of the Great Supernatural Power law, otherwise Jing Yan wouldn't be so strenuous."
Small supernatural power-level laws and martial arts sometimes have sequels, and sometimes they don't.
For example, Zhao Xing's Three God Life Palace has a sequel.
But Soul Heavenly Vision has no sequel.
Three God Life Palace is also more precious than Soul Heavenly Vision, and its role is also greater.
If it were a complete Great Supernatural Power, Yu Tianqing's Eye of Breaking Delusion couldn't do whatever it wanted.
"No, you mean I'm weak?" Jing Yan said angrily: "This time it's really different, it's too heavy, my mechanical arm can't even move."
"Tianqing, see what it is." Zhao Xing was also interested.
"A yellow decree, the characters and patterns on it are like this." Yu Tianqing described its appearance.
The general version is characters and symbols, with dense characters surrounding a bronze door.
"Brother Zhao, do you recognize it?"
"I recognize it." Zhao Xing's eyes lit up: "If I'm not mistaken, it should belong to the 【Bronze Pass】 in the Great Supernatural Power 【History Great Wall】."
"It belongs to the 'Bronze History Method' in the 【Ten Tables】; do you remember the moat and city pass we saw before entering the city?"
"I remember." Yu Tianqing nodded.
"That is the Great Supernatural Power 【History Great Wall】. Why did people like Bai Yang have to obediently enter the city according to the method of the Boundary Repair Pen? Because their Great Supernatural Powers couldn't break it either, and they could only enter from the city gate."
"How thick history is, how strong the pass defense is! This is the supernatural power of a historian."
"Jing Yan, your mechanical tentacles are being pressed, of course you can't pull them away. Can you lift the history of the Moon Luo Ancient Kingdom?"
Jing Yan asked puzzled: "But isn't this a part? How is it so strong."
"【Bronze Pass】 is a part of the Great Supernatural Power. This pass defense is the most important part of the 【History Great Wall】. Other bricks and tiles are easy to gather, but there are only four pass gates."
"And now many fragments have been unearthed. After we go out, it will be easy to buy the remaining fragments and gather the complete Great Supernatural Power."
Hearing Zhao Xing say this, Yu Tianqing and Jing Yan were also excited.
They had also been looking for a long time, but hadn't encountered a complete Great Supernatural Power; they were all fragments.
One reason is that after the preaching book was moved, the power of the entire preaching world was reduced, and the preserved supernatural power Dao rhyme naturally decreased. Even if it once recorded a Great Supernatural Power, it had now dropped in level, lost its Dao rhyme, and there was no way to learn it completely.
The second is that the tomb owner himself didn't collect many Great Supernatural Powers; he himself was only a Yin-Yang Dao Domain Realm cultivator, so how could there be Great Supernatural Power spells and martial arts everywhere?
"But I can't lift it, what should I do?" Jing Yan asked.
"I'll try." Zhao Xing said. "You control the Wandering Boundary to go over."
"Good."
Zhao Xing and the three flew quickly to the destination, only to see a door lying at the bottom of the pit, and it was still sinking continuously.
As for Jing Yan's mechanical arm, it had already been flattened and began to crack.
"Quick, insert a few more mechanical arms down, otherwise it will sink!" Yu Tianqing was anxious.
"Okay brother." Jing Yan obediently followed suit. If he lost this thing, Yu might get anxious.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing jumped into the pit.
The decree was only fifty meters high and ten meters wide.
But it was extremely heavy.
The surrounding earth was constantly sinking, forming a vortex.
Zhao Xing enlarged his body, then inserted one hand under the decree, trying to lift it up.
But he found he couldn't lift it.
Zhao Xing then changed his posture; he squatted slightly, the Treasure Mountain Skill's Pillar of Heaven was activated, his legs inserted into the ground, deeply rooted.
Both hands inserted into the soil on the left and right, holding both ends of the decree.
"Big, big, big!"
The Giant Sun clone grew rapidly, Zhao Xing's legs exerted force, and his body leaned back.
"Boom~" Using all his strength, the decree was finally lifted.
And after being able to lift it, Zhao Xing couldn't wait to put it into his Qiankun bag.
"Success!" Zhao Xing smiled.
The difficulty of picking it up mainly lies in the fact that the 【Bronze Pass】 decree and the entire city attract each other.
Because it belongs to a part of the city, the earth is paper. After the book puppet dies and drops this decree, it will quickly merge into the underground, regenerate the book puppet, cycle endlessly, and cannot be directly collected into the Qiankun bag.
"This thing is really not easy to take. Thanks to my Giant Sun clone's infinite strength." Zhao Xing said proudly.
"Awesome!" Yu Tianqing and Jing Yan praised; this clone is really easy to use.
Qi-sect martial artists, being able to carry a World Star is not bragging; with absolute power, any law must be defeated by great force.
"There are book puppets approaching." Yu Tianqing was vigilant about the surroundings.
"Go." Jing Yan immediately controlled the Wandering God Boundary to rise to the sky.
"Boom boom boom boom~" The battle became more and more intense, and the tall buildings collapsed at an astonishing speed.
"Whoosh~"
Suddenly, a sea of fire rose from the east. In the sea of fire, a decree seemed to spread out, and a three-eyed monster with thorns on its back, covered in muscles and scales, appeared.
The terrifying aura, as if from an ancient void beast, even hiding in the Wandering Boundary, protected by the Tai Shi Crown, felt extremely unsafe.
"Brother, what is that?" Jing Yan felt his breathing was not smooth, and his body was extremely hot.
"It should be the decree dropped by Ruan Chang." Zhao Xing said: "And the formation of the execution ground."
"Can we go pick it up?" Jing Yan's eyes lit up.
"Pick up chicken feathers, don't you want your life?"
Zhao Xing pointed at the Boundary Repair Pen, which began to write again.
【... he execution ground was robbed, but it was too late; Ruan Chang finally died under the 'Five Elements Divine Fire Seal'.】
【... earing that the execution ground was robbed, the tyrant and the demon concubine were even more angry and decided to destroy the East City District where the Fire Seal Execution Ground was located...】
"The Fire Seal Execution Ground in the East City District, whoever goes will die." Zhao Xing said.
"It's a pity." Yu Tianqing was a little regretful; Ruan Chang was a hero of the Life-Death Dao Domain Realm. To support such a hero to appear, the decree couldn't be too weak.
That is to say, he must have dropped a complete Great Supernatural Power.
"It's a pity." Jing Yan also said: "We have seen quite a few decree drops. That is, the book puppets of the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm don't necessarily drop Great Supernatural Power laws, but the probability of Great Supernatural Power Realm book puppets is higher."
"However, a Dao Domain Realm cultivator like Ruan Chang is a protagonist, not a supporting role; the Great Supernatural Power he dropped might be some peerless supernatural power."
"Jun Yichen might also have it; although he is a supporting role, he is an important supporting role." Yu Tianqing said.
Now they had seen quite a few Five Elements Dao Domain Realm and Great Supernatural Power Realm drops, but those truly involving Great Supernatural Power methods, counting 【Bronze Pass】, were only three.
"There's nothing to regret." Zhao Xing shook his head, "Five sheets per person, we have already made a fortune, don't be greedy. Don't even think about returning to the palace."
"Hmm." Yu Tianqing and Jing Yan's greed was soon dispelled by Zhao Xing.
Speaking of having truly seen the world, it was Zhao Xing.
People die for money and birds die for food; only Zhao Xing could remain calm and not be shaken by wealth and treasures.
Jing Yan was greedy when he saw Ruan Chang drop things, let alone Yu Tianqing.
"Whoosh~"
The three began to flee to places where the battle was not so intense.
On the way to escape, occasionally encountering book puppets hacking each other, dropping decrees, the three would sneak over to pick them up.
Among them, the Great Supernatural Power Realm almost certainly drops small supernatural power laws pointing to Great Supernatural Power methods.
Instead, the Five Elements Dao Domain Realm depends on probability.
The reason for this result is mainly that the Great and Small Supernatural Power Realms both belong to the third realm.
And the Small Supernatural Power Realm can also reach the Dao Domain Realm.
The difference between the Great and Small Supernatural Power Realms is like a Qi Refining Layer 9 and a Qi Refining Layer 10+, both have the opportunity to build a foundation, but the strength is too obvious, so there is a distinction between Great and Small Supernatural Power Realms in the third realm.
To be called a Great Supernatural Power Realm, it must be supported by the Dao of Great Supernatural Power cultivation techniques.
According to common sense outside, Great Supernatural Power Realm cultivators generally master complete Great Supernatural Powers, not just one or two moves.
However, the tomb owner's strength is limited, and he can't make all such Great Supernatural Power Realms. Background boards and unimportant supporting roles can only use "symbiosis," "super recovery," "turning a blind eye," "turning a deaf ear" supernatural powers or formations to forcibly raise individual combat power.
"This tomb owner is also not very good; another Dao Domain Realm book puppet only matched with a small supernatural power, garbage." Jing Yan stood on the dome palace, disdainfully throwing a decree at his feet.
"You still dislike others for not being good." Zhao Xing sneered: "You are not even in the third realm."
"If the tomb owner heard you say this, he would probably be so angry he'd come back to life." Yu Tianqing said coldly.
"Hahaha."
Saying is saying, the three of them were still very happy to pick up treasures like this.
And their picking and choosing were soon discovered by Chen Xuan of Starfire.
After Jing Yan sneaked to touch a corpse from a battle aftermath for the third time, Chen Xuan was completely sure.
"Yue Nu, stop looking! The things have already been taken by Bai Yang's team!" Chen Xuan said angrily.
"What?" Yue Nu soon appeared beside the palace wall. "Besides Bai Yang, who else could take it?"
"Jing Yan!"
"Jing Yan of the Beiye Star System?"
"Right, that's the silly prince who likes to throw Star Luck Coins to fight."
"How is that possible." Yue Nu couldn't believe it, "He is only in the second realm; Bai Yang let him in purely because he was a countryman."
"How the hell would I know? Anyway, I can be sure the things are in his hands; this kid is picking up treasures outside the city!"
"Retreat!" Yue Nu ordered immediately.
As a Great Supernatural Power Realm cultivator of the soul path, Yue Nu soon sensed Jing Yan's aura.
Yue Nu mastered high-level communication methods like 【Causal Communication】, but she could only perform causal communication with Chen Xuan and Bai Yang because it required preparation in advance.
Jing Yan's strength was not in her consideration at all.
"Jing Yan!!"
Chen Xuan roared and shouted forward.
But his sound waves were shaken away by the chaotic battlefield after traveling a hundred miles.
Yue Nu and Chen Xuan could only see Jing Yan shrinking into the Twelve Wandering God Boundary and disappearing.
"Grass your grandfather!" Chen Xuan was indignant; he didn't know what he was scolding, but he just wanted to scold a few words now.
"Jing Yan, this bastard's strength is too weak, he can't hear it!"
"Chase!" Yue Nu ordered.
She and Chen Xuan led people to retreat while fighting; there was no way, they had to get the Three Treasures of the Historian to get out. Otherwise, they would be trapped to death here.
"Ah, ah~ sneeze~" Jing Yan's body shook and he rubbed his nose.
"What's going on, you're so weak after casting spells a few times." Zhao Xing teased.
"I feel like someone is scolding me." Jing Yan muttered.
"Excuse, you're just weak."
"Bastard, I want to fight you!"
"..."
The three shuttled constantly on the battlefield, while Yu Tianqing kept staring at the Boundary Repair Pen, observing the subsequent plot of the preaching world.
Just walking, suddenly, Yu Tianqing froze in place.
"Brother Zhao, did I see it wrong? Look at what the Boundary Repair Pen wrote..."
"Let me see." Zhao Xing turned his head and translated slowly:
【... fter clearing everything, the Moon Luo Kingdom Lord, under the guise of repairing the reincarnation altar for Ruan Chang, used living people to refine sacrificial treasures 'Reincarnation Coffin', 'Ancient God Sacrifice'... actually preparing for himself and the demon empress.】
【... e buried the prepared reincarnation altar and treasures deep in the imperial mausoleum, and sank them into the Nine Luo Imperial Mausoleum, suppressed by tomb-guarding divine beasts like 'Divine Fire Turtle' and 'Nine-Headed Golden Lion'.】
"Damn, reincarnation..." Jing Yan covered his mouth.
Yu Tianqing was also shocked; they didn't expect to get clues about the reincarnation altar of the Moon Luo Ancient Kingdom here.
"No wonder..." Zhao Xing muttered to himself.
Involving the reincarnation altar and the secret of reincarnation resurrection, no wonder this tomb would be strictly guarded later and tourists were not allowed to visit.
Sift~~
The Boundary Repair Pen was still writing.
【The tyrant is so cruel, how can the country have a future?】
【The Great Dao of History, hundreds of millions of people, how can the tyrant and demon empress play with it?】
【My name is 'Hang Ji', following the last order of the Grand Historian, buried this in the tomb of the world.】
【If later visitors arrive, please pass on the deeds of the tyrant and demon empress, destroy the altar and imperial mausoleum, and completely bury the resurrection path of the Moon Luo Kingdom Lord.】
【Put the Boundary Repair Pen and Preaching Book into the mouths of the tomb beast statues at the South City Gate, and you can leave the city smoothly. The Tai Shi Crown will summon a 'Mausoleum Boat' from the moat to leave this world.】
"Found the exit!" Zhao Xing and the three were shocked, and they didn't care to analyze the clues of the Moon Luo Ancient Kingdom's reincarnation altar.
Quickly turned direction and headed south.
Now their harvest had exceeded expectations, not only getting the Three Treasures of the Historian but also getting clues to the Moon Luo Ancient Kingdom's reincarnation altar; of course, they had to get out quickly and preserve the fruits of victory.
"The location of the Moon Luo Ancient Kingdom's reincarnation altar, I didn't know in my previous life, but this time I got clues. This Starfire mission was really worth coming." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
There is also a heavy treasure in this preaching world, which is a page generated by the Xuan Ling History Book.
However, Zhao Xing didn't know its generation law, nor did he know how to take this thing.
"Quit while you're ahead." Zhao Xing warned himself. "Reminded Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing countless times, I can't get carried away myself."
A page of the Xuan Ling History Book, this thing's level is too high; it can be said to be a true divine object!
It is said that it was built by an ancient god of history in the Xuan Ling Star Domain, and it automatically generates a page every epoch.
Even if that ancient god is no longer there, it is still constantly producing, recording many things in the Xuan Ling Star Domain.
Zhao Xing considered himself not qualified to take such things now; being around this treasure was a kind of danger.
"I don't know if the time point I am in is before or after the generation, but I have gained enough, I can't be greedy."
Zhao Xing and the three soon flew to the South Gate.
At this time, it was already a mess here, with countless book puppets crowding here.
"The tyrant and demon empress blockaded the King City, and now there are heavy troops guarding here, how do we get close?" Jing Yan asked.
Yu Tianqing was wearing the Tai Shi Crown, and the book puppets couldn't see them, but if they just bumped into them, it would be equivalent to exposing themselves.
"Either fight hard, or wait hard." Zhao Xing said.
"Can we win?" Yu Tianqing asked.
"Can't win." Zhao Xing shook his head: "The three of us combined can at most barely deal with one Great Supernatural Power Realm book puppet; there are fifty at the South City Gate, and three Five Elements Dao Domain Realm ones. The rest of the book puppets are several thousand."
"Then we can only wait hard?"
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded. "Cleaning and riots will always end; after restoring calm, or the number of guards decreases, we can go out."
"Sigh." Jing Yan sighed, "Without the strength of a protagonist, but having to do the work of a protagonist, it's really too difficult."
"Jing Yan, did you forget that Starfire has two other groups of members." Yu Tianqing said, "Can you contact them?"
"What?" Jing Yan was surprised: "Starfire only sent one group, Bai Yang is dead."
Yu Tianqing looked at Zhao Xing: "Brother Zhao, do you remember?"
Zhao Xing nodded: "I remember, but I don't think looking for them is a good choice."
"That's true." Yu Tianqing nodded.
Bai Yang died so simply, let alone the other two groups.
The three of them were protected by the Tai Shi Crown to survive the riots and cleaning plots.
The other two groups were probably already dead.
Besides, they didn't know how to contact them.
Bai Yang might know, but these outsourced members had no way to contact; this preaching world couldn't use mechanical communication devices, and there was no way to leave any secret signals or marks.
"I must practice hard when I go back!" Jing Yan clenched his fists, "Especially will supernatural powers... this taste is too uncomfortable."
It was really uncomfortable, forgetting some things in the blink of an eye, watching Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing discussing there, Jing Yan felt like a waste.
"Don't be like this." Zhao Xing comforted: "Anyway, you will forget what you said now in a while."
Jing Yan: "..."
Jing Yan hated it in his heart.
"Brother Jing, I'll remind you when we go out." Yu Tianqing said.
"Good brother!" Jing Yan glared at Zhao Xing, Yu Tianqing was still kind-hearted.
"Bang!" Chen Xuan punched out, Meteor Fist like a meteor hitting a piece of third-realm book puppets in front.
The powerful shockwave directly cleared the obstacles ten thousand miles ahead.
"Yue Nu, where are the people?" Chen Xuan asked.
"He went south." Yue Nu's different pupils flashed Jing Yan's reflection.
"Day, why did he go south again." Chen Xuan's violent temper really couldn't be suppressed.
Jing Yan was like a mouse, drilling everywhere. Calling couldn't be heard, he really couldn't stand it. "Save some strength, chase." Yue Nu and her party stood in his ear hole.
"You only know how to move your mouth! Come down and help fight!" Chen Xuan roared in his heart.
However, he also knew that Yue Nu and this group were not suitable for facing such a situation.
Everyone has their own specialty; Bai Yang breaks through plot levels, Yue Nu serves as a link to the team, and as a backup member for treasure hunting.
As for him, this Qi-sect martial artist, he was a proper ox and horse.
He was the one doing this kind of rough work of rushing and crashing.
"Hmm?"
Just as Yue Nu and Chen Xuan approached the South City Gate, Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing looked north at the same time.
I saw a giant appearing on the horizon at some point.
He was on top of the thunderclouds in the sky, his body emitting electric light, and the tall buildings were collapsing one after another.
The giant waved his hand, and a large number of book puppets were blown away.
Please... you... bookmark_()
With one foot, the earth began to shake.
Many book puppets were lying on his feet and waist, like ants eating an elephant.
However, the giant didn't care about small roles at all, only when the number was large, he shook them off and blew them away.
"That, that is a Great Supernatural Power Qi-sect?" Yu Tianqing appeared shocked.
"Only Qi-sect martial artists can do this." Zhao Xing was also a little surprised.
The level of people sent by Starfire was not too high.
Bai Yang was already a very awesome genius in his eyes, and now he saw another Qi-sect genius.
His
Once they drew closer, Zhao Xing's detection frame finally captured the opponent, presenting Chen Xuan's information.
【Chen Xuan】
【Profession: Martial Artist】
【Realm: Great Divine Ability Realm Perfection】
【Golden Body: Solar Third Tier】
【Age: 82, 25】
【Remaining Lifespan: 1. Epochs】
【Minor Divine Abilities: Star Meteor Fist (Divine Ability Ninth Tier), Primordial Sword Finger (Divine Ability Perfection), Qi Swallowing Sun and Moon (Divine Ability Perfection), Blazing Sun Crucible (Divine Ability Eighth Tier), Giant Spirit True God (Divine Ability Seventh Tier), Boundary Origin Body...】
【Great Divine Abilities: Primordial Indestructible Body (Third Tier), Universe in the Palm (Second Tier)】
"Hiss, there's another expert?" Zhao Xing was shocked.
A Golden Body reaching the Solar Third Tier is an ability only possessed by martial artists in the Dao Domain Realm.
Having reached this level, Chen Xuan could truly move some smaller stars.
"Primordial Indestructible Body, Universe in the Palm; this person cultivates not only the exterior but also the interior. He also possesses a divine ability similar to the Devouring Method called 'Giant Spirit Crucible'."
"Even if someone were to burrow into his body, they would be instantly refined by the fire of his five viscera."
"He has only cultivated for over eighty thousand years, yet he has already mastered so many minor divine abilities. He is truly worthy of being a genius of the Empire," Zhao Xing sighed inwardly.
"Although the Primordial Indestructible Body cannot compare to Du Yun's Void Ancestor Golden Body, people like Chen Xuan are hard to find even in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom."
Compared to Du Yun, Du Yun's Golden Body is already at the Solar Sixth Tier, his Great Divine Abilities have reached the Fourth Tier, and his minor divine abilities are all perfected.
"Normally speaking, a Great Divine Ability Qi-sect master who can train their Golden Body to the Lunar stage, ignore the irradiation of lunar light, and move lunar stars is already considered badass," Zhao Xing mused.
"Chen Xuan, however, goes from Yin to Yang and is still expanding the limits of his Golden Body. I fear that, like Du Yun, he believes he has reached his limit and will only then attempt to break through to the Dao Domain Realm."
Excavating the treasures of the physical body is most appropriate during the Great Divine Ability Realm. Once one breaks through to the Dao Domain Realm, the Golden Body takes shape, and from then on, one no longer excavates but rather strengthens and develops the existing framework.
"Is that Chen Xuan?" Jing Yan was startled. "I remember now; that means Yue Nu is also by his side."
"Who is Yue Nu?" Yu Tianqing asked.
Jing Yan said, "A Soul Great Divine Ability Realm expert. She is also one of the captains of Starfire, and many have died at her hands."
"How many?"
"What Chen Xuan and Bai Yang killed combined probably isn't even one percent of what she has," Jing Yan said. "Her mission success rate is also the highest in Starfire."
"She has mastered the 【Causal Transmission】 divine ability. As long as she prepares in advance, in a place like the Boundary Transmission, she can communicate with teammates and even contact Starfire members in the outside world."
"Then we..." Yu Tianqing looked at Jing Yan, then at Zhao Xing, implying whether they should contact these two big shots.
"Jing Yan, you make the decision," Zhao Xing said. "But one thing: once contacted, Old Yu and I will no longer exert ourselves."
"I understand," Jing Yan nodded. Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing have secrets, so it is naturally inappropriate to display them in front of outsiders.
"Rest assured, Starfire is very trustworthy."
"Besides, I am of the Royal Clan; my words carry some weight." Jing Yan stood up. "I'll go greet them."
"Jing Yan, are you deaf, you son of a bitch? Huh?" After shrinking down, Chen Xuan grabbed Jing Yan by the throat and questioned him: "I called you so many times, and you didn't hear a single one? You bastard!"
"Chen Xuan, that's enough," Yue Nu scolded. "Show some respect to the Royal Clan."
Chen Xuan released Jing Yan: "Kid, have I been disrespectful to you?"
"No, no," Jing Yan laughed. "Big Brother is just joking with me."
"See?" Chen Xuan patted Jing Yan's shoulder with satisfaction.
In reality, he and Jing Yan were very familiar, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized him at a glance.
"Alright, let's talk business." Yue Nu ignored Chen Xuan and stared at Jing Yan: "Is the item in your hands?"
"It is," Jing Yan nodded. "We have obtained the Historian's Crown, the Preaching Book, and the Boundary Cultivator's Pen."
"We?" Yue Nu looked behind Jing Yan: "There are two others; who are they?"
"Zhao Xing, Yu Tianqing," Jing Yan waved his hand. "My brothers. They were also recruited by me and have been following Bai Yang."
"How did you get into the Imperial Palace?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
"This is not the place to talk," Jing Yan said. "The items have been obtained; let's get out first before writing the mission summary."
"Jing Yan is right," Yue Nu said. "Let's head out first."
With Chen Xuan, this top-tier workhorse, things became much easier to handle.
Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing jumped into Chen Xuan's ears together, staying with Yue Nu and the others.
Then, Chen Xuan carried the Historian's Crown and silently approached the South City Gate.
When they could no longer move forward, Chen Xuan stopped hiding his tracks and took the initiative to ambush the book puppets guarding the gate.
"Boom~"
The Star Meteor Fist sent the three Dao Domain Realm book puppets flying.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Xuan quickly threw the Boundary Cultivator's Pen and the Preaching Book into the mouth of the tomb beast statue.
"Hum~"
Everything around them seemed to freeze, as if the story had reached its end.
Chen Xuan was preparing to deal with the incoming attack, but he discovered that no attack had landed on him for a long time.
Then, looking up, he found that he had already appeared outside the city.
"Pop~"
The city wall seemed to regurgitate, spitting out the Boundary Cultivator's Pen and the Preaching Book.
"Success! Hahahaha!" Chen Xuan laughed loudly.
Yue Nu, Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, and others also flew out from his ears.
They saw the Boundary Cultivator's Pen, the Preaching Book, and the Historian's Crown blooming with radiance together.
"Splash~"
The water in the moat suddenly began to boil, as if something was breaking the surface.
The other members had experience and dared not look at that moat.
Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing, however, watched secretly.
An ancient mausoleum boat, like a ghost slowly sailing from the depths of time, broke the tranquility of the river surface.
The bow of the mausoleum boat emerged first, revealing a meticulously carved, ferocious beast head to everyone.
The hull was crafted from a strange black wood; the erosion of time had covered the wood in mottled patterns, like the crisscrossing wrinkles on an old man's face, recording countless unknown stories.
From the gaps in the wood, wisps of black mist seeped out, and within the mist, low wails could be faintly heard, as if wronged souls imprisoned within were struggling in pain.
On both sides of the gunwales hung a row of old copper bells. These bells were of various shapes and sizes, with mysterious runes engraved on their surfaces.
"The Boundary Transmission Mausoleum Boat, that's it," Yue Nu's eyes lit up. "Everyone, follow me onto the boat."
Hearing this, everyone flew up one after another.
"Splash~" After the Boundary Transmission Mausoleum Boat stabilized, it began to sail along the river.
Everything around them began to fade; the world and the city seemed to disappear.
Zhao Xing stood on the deck with many others. He glanced around; there were about thirty-seven people on the boat.
Originally, each team had thirty people, but now only thirty-seven remained in total.
Bai Yang's team had only three survivors; one had to say this mission was truly gambling with one's life.
Fortunately, everything was coming to an end. After counting the heads, Yue Nu said: "We are entering a void river and will soon be out of the Boundary Transmission. Once we are out, we will find a safe shipping lane to return; you don't need to worry anymore."
"After we return, rewards will be distributed according to merit. Starfire will not shortchange you on what you are owed."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cheered on the spot.
"Jing Yan, your group will be under my command for now," Yue Nu looked at Jing Yan, Zhao Xing, and Yu Tianqing.
"Yes."
"Rest on the spot for now; do not wander around," Yue Nu ordered.
"Yes." The Boundary Transmission Mausoleum Boat was clearly also a treasure; its interior space was vast with many areas, but the outsourced members clearly had no heart to explore.
They all obediently sat down around Chen Xuan.
Zhao Xing also sat cross-legged, though he felt that Yue Nu had looked at him twice more than necessary.
"Could it be that she saw I cultivated the Three-God Life Palace?"
However, seeing Yue Nu close her eyes again, he stopped overthinking and just waited quietly for the journey to end.
The time spent in the Boundary Transmission was not long; even counting the waiting time, it was only a little over ten years, yet the harvest was truly significant.
"Starfire has obtained the Three Treasures of the Historian. After returning this time, we can make demands and have the people of the Great Zhou immigrate to the Red Star Empire first."
"Counting the preparations, it will take a few decades, but we will definitely reach the Red Star Empire."
"Besides that, Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, and I have also harvested several high-quality Divine Ability Edicts."
"We've learned some clues about the Reincarnation Altar... it can be called a bumper harvest!"
"Very good, next I can focus on that Scholar's Imperial Tomb at Nanluo No. 21," Zhao Xing mused. "The treasures in that Preaching Scholar's Imperial Tomb are no less than here, but I must prepare more thoroughly, otherwise... hmm?"
Just as Zhao Xing was thinking, the Boundary Transmission Mausoleum Boat suddenly began to shake violently.
The surrounding void suddenly became rugged, and the river seemed to become extremely turbulent.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"We won't be unable to get out, will we?"
"Don't move! Stay calm!" Chen Xuan shouted. "It's just a little turbulence."
"Rumble~~~"
However, the shaking exceeded the level of 'normal turbulence' in a very short time.
Everyone was jolted awake, looking around in panic, unable to remain calm at all.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on?" Yu Tianqing asked Zhao Xing subconsciously, and Jing Yan also leaned in.
Compared to Starfire, he trusted Zhao Xing's capabilities more.
"I don't know either," Zhao Xing transmitted his voice. "The Yueluo Ancient Kingdom existed in the distant ancient era, after all. At that time, the Historian's Great Dao had not yet been weakened. It might indeed be because the magic array has been eroded by time, causing the mausoleum boat to shake."
Jing Yan worriedly said: "No magic array can withstand the erosion of time. Isn't the Yueluo Mausoleum Garden formed because the Starry Sky Array failed, causing it to be washed out and form the Phantom God Star System?"
"Now that the fluctuations are so great, why do I feel like we're going to capsize?"
"Shut up, can you say something auspicious?" Zhao Xing glared at him.
"Fine, I won't say anything," Jing Yan raised his hands in surrender.
The subsequent shaking lasted for a full three months.
Zhao Xing constantly watched his panel and found that he still hadn't obtained a new coordinate.
That is to say, the mausoleum boat was still spinning in circles within the Boundary Transmission.
"Rumble~"
Uncomfortable explosions rang in their ears; at this point, no one could cultivate with peace of mind.
"The shaking is getting stronger and stronger, reaching a terrifying degree," Zhao Xing observed his surroundings.
Many people even began to get injured because of the shaking.
The rumbling sound was incessant, as if some monster was continuously colliding and rubbing against the bottom.
Yue Nu and Chen Xuan stood at the edge of the deck, not knowing what they were looking at.
Zhao Xing activated his Soul Heavenly Vision and also began to try to scan the horizon outside the boat.
However, just at this moment—
"Bang!"
The power of the shaking suddenly exceeded the peak value, forming a massive tremor.
Zhao Xing watched in horror as the Boundary Transmission Mausoleum Boat began to develop cracks and tilt to one side.
"Damn it, Jing Yan, what kind of crow's mouth do you have!"
Zhao Xing felt a powerful attractive force appear.
Whirlpools appeared in the void, tearing at the people and objects on the boat.
Soon, the mausoleum boat capsized completely, losing its protection, and everyone was swept into the void turbulence!
"Zhao—" Jing Yan wanted to shout something, but the next moment he disappeared directly.
Yu Tianqing had been watching Zhao Xing the whole time; his gaze held both regret and a request.
Before he was swept away, Zhao Xing understood Yu Tianqing's gaze: it was to take care of his hometown.
Because Zhao Xing was only a clone here, his true self was still alive.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"
Zhao Xing's Giant Yang clone persisted a bit longer and was swept in a bit later.
He watched helplessly as Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing were torn into fragments after entering the whirlpool.
In such an extreme environment, these two simply couldn't withstand the tearing of the void turbulence.
"Big, big, big!"
Zhao Xing expanded rapidly; even if this was just the life of a clone, he was not one to give up easily.
However, this force was too powerful. After the mausoleum boat flipped, he could not be spared and fell into the void turbulence.
Yue Nu was torn to pieces in the first instant. As for Chen Xuan, Zhao Xing saw that he remained intact even after entering the void turbulence.
"How could this happen?" On the Hurui Star Continent, Zhao Xing's true self stood up abruptly, his eyes bloodshot. "Why is this turbulence so strong that even Chen Xuan couldn't be protected?"
Zhao Xing's true self quickly calculated that the Giant Yang clone could only persist in the void turbulence for fifteen seconds.
"Could it be that the tomb owner never intended for us to get out alive? Or did an accident occur?"
Zhao Xing was accustomed to life and death; he had adventured in the universe in his past life and hadn't died without cause.
When adventuring in dangerous places, he had long since prepared himself mentally.
"No one knows whether tomorrow or an accident will come first," Zhao Xing sighed. "Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing, they just died like that."
Three months ago, they were happily picking up treasures, but an accident happened when they boarded the Boundary Transmission Mausoleum Boat to leave.
The Giant Yang clone struggled in the void turbulence, constantly sprinting toward the source of the tremor.
Zhao Xing really wanted to know what kind of monster had capsized the mausoleum boat.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~" The violent void turbulence eroded the Giant Yang clone.
Blinding white light appeared before Zhao Xing's eyes. His clone began to disintegrate; after his body was torn apart, the Giant Yang clone could still move, but it was already out of control.
After the split soul lost its protection, it soon felt a bone-chilling cold.
"Can't see clearly..."
In the void turbulence, Zhao Xing's soul phantom was helpless.
The severed palm of the clone seemed to grab onto something, but Zhao Xing could no longer distinguish it; the vision of his split soul quickly became blurred and turned completely dark.
On the Hurui Star Continent, Zhao Xing's true self slumped silently into his chair.
Although he knew that accidental factors were uncontrollable and that Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing were in danger of death, he still felt a bit sad when it actually happened.
"Yu Tianqing, who was supposed to be the future ruler of the Ancient Kingdom, died here because of my invitation... hmm?"
Just as Zhao Xing was feeling sad, his body suddenly produced an obscure fluctuation, and he sat bolt upright.
Countless reflections appeared in his eyes, and numerous images flashed by, finally freezing in place.
"How can this be?" Zhao Xing revealed an expression of disbelief.
Boundary Transmission, somewhere in the ancient tomb.
The Giant Yang clone opened his eyes, his body instinctively erecting a protective shield.
Then he discovered that around him, including himself, thirty beams of light were dissipating.
Bai Yang glanced at Zhao Xing and nodded slightly: "You are quite good."
Zhao Xing lowered his brow slightly, clenching his fist tightly. In his palm was a thin, smooth page of paper.
"So that's how it is; this page of the Profound Spirit History Book actually possesses the function of time reversal!"
