Chapter 65

"My Lord Immortal!"

A passing Qianyan Army soldier wanted to greet him, but only a gust of swift wind blew past.

Jiang Yan was already gone without a trace.

"My Lord Immortal is..."

The soldier scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Yan drew closer to the treasure chest; he could already see the golden patterns shimmering on the magnificent chest!

It was just that this treasure chest was sealed by a pile of strangely shaped stones.

Heh.

Mere stones.

Dare to block me?

Jiang Yan clapped his hands together.

"Wood Release! Wood Dragon Technique!"

Boom!

Clouds of mist rose, and a wooden dragon carrying Jiang Yan charged toward the treasure chest.

The wooden dragon twisted its serpentine body and lowered its head to smash hard against the stones.

"Crack... Crack!"

After the wooden dragon struck, the expected sound of the stones shattering did not occur.

Instead, the wooden dragon's head shattered directly!

Jiang Yan stumbled and rolled onto the ground.

"Sss!!!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Jiang Yan rubbed his buttocks.

Although such a fall caused him no injury, the sensation of pain still existed.

Gazing at the smooth, flawless sealing stone before him with not a single crack, Jiang Yan's face showed shock.

Damn it!

What the hell is so hard!

My wooden dragon's head is shattered!!

And this thing has no damage?!

Jiang Yan stood up, walked forward, and inspected it from top to bottom.

He tried to open the treasure chest without damaging the stone, but the result was the same.

It wouldn't open, it simply wouldn't open.

Could it be...

This is a puzzle treasure chest?

Jiang Yan muttered, looking around.

After searching all around, he found nothing that could be used to solve the puzzle.

"Hah???"

Jiang Yan's incredulous voice echoed across the entire hillside.

Cannot be opened by solving a puzzle.

The wooden dragon's charge cannot shatter it.

What the hell is this thing?

Since that is the case!

Then do not blame me for being ruthless!

Little treasure chest!!!!

Jiang Yan clenched his right fist, and a glowing white vibration aura materialized around it.

"Hah!"

With a furious shout, immense vibration force spread out from the surroundings.

Cracks formed in the surrounding ground, but the stone before him remained motionless.

Jiang Yan could not believe it.

A stone that even destructive power cannot break??

"System! Speak up!"

Jiang Yan asked the system within his mind.

"What is the situation with this treasure chest puzzle??"

【Ding! Finally, I have the opportunity to appear!】

【Scanning the host...】

Jiang Yan waited with a tense expression.

【Scan complete】

【This stone is a Heart Demon Stone.】

【Warning! This stone is not a product of this world!】

【The system is performing a self-check...】

【System bug detected!】

【Repair in progress...】

A strange fluctuation spread out from Jiang Yan's surroundings.

【Ding! System bug fixed. From now on, the host will not encounter puzzles from other worlds.】

【But this time, you must solve it yourself.】

【Condition to activate the Heart-Demon Stone: place your hand on the stone, with a mind free of distractions.】

After the system's voice finished speaking, silence fell.

Jiang Yan could hear a sense of weakness in the system's words.

"The Heart-Demon Stone..."

Jiang Yan took a deep look at the smooth stone before him.

"Facing my own heart-demon..."

To be honest, Jiang Yan was quite curious about this matter.

What would his own heart-demon be?

But Jiang Yan did not immediately step forward to activate the Heart-Demon Stone as the system had said.

He was not certain what he would face once he activated his heart-demon.

He was thinking.

But after pondering for a long time, he still could not determine what his heart-demon would be.

He took a deep breath.

Forget it!

It must be faced eventually!

Jiang Yan placed his hand on the stone wrapping the magnificent treasure chest and closed his eyes.

The Heart-Demon Stone emitted a hazy gray light.

When Jiang Yan opened his eyes again, he found himself above a starry sky.

Where... is this?

Jiang Yan looked around, his face full of confusion.

When he looked down, his pupils suddenly widened.

A blue planet came into view.
