"Long time no see, Zhongzhou Team Captain Wu Xian."

The super-alloy glass of the cockpit opened, and the clone Chu Xuan stood up from his seat. He met Wu Xian's gaze, pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "Perhaps, I should say nice to meet you."

Clearly, the two sentences spoken by the clone Chu Xuan had completely different meanings.

"Long time no see" was because in the clone Chu Xuan's memory, he had had a period of contact with Wu Xian on that spaceship in "Alien 1."

It was just that the memory was very short, and the clone Chu Xuan hadn't even waited for the main mission to be completed before he was cloned into the horror movie experienced by the Devil Team.

Therefore, in theory, he, as a clone, hadn't truly met Wu Xian, which was the reason he said "nice to meet you."

On the other side, listening to the similar, waveless tone and voice, Wu Xian couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Although they had the exact same appearance, and their temperament and feeling when speaking were also the same, he still felt a clear difference between him and the Zhongzhou Team's Chu Xuan.

It was hard to describe this difference in words.

If he had to say it, it was that this guy in front of him seemed to want to kill him at any time if there was an opportunity.

A very bad feeling, making him want to punch that expressionless poker face hard.

"Let's stick with 'nice to meet you'."

Thinking this in his heart, Wu Xian still resisted the urge to raise his hand and punch, smiling and saying: "If I treated you as him casually like this, that guy would probably be angry. After all, you should know that Chu Xuan is narrow-minded."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, the clone Chu Xuan pushed his glasses, reflecting an eerie white light: "Listening to you, your relationship with the original is quite good, so you should know that because of his genetic defect, he doesn't have the concept of being angry."

"So you don't refute that you are narrow-minded?"

"..."

"Haha! Just a joke."

The playful arc of Wu Xian's mouth slowly flattened, appearing somewhat cold: "Let's talk business. Why did you come to find me specifically? As far as I know, you abandoned your companions shortly after descending... Such an act of retreating before fighting doesn't seem like Chu Xuan's style. Or do you have some other special purpose?"

"First, I am not companions with the people of the Devil Team; it's just a simple cooperative relationship.

Second, I didn't abandon them, but there was something more important than the team battle and the main mission that needed to be completed, so I designed for them to temporarily block the East Sea Team for me, until... you and the Zhongzhou Team arrived."

"Hmm?"

Raising his eyebrows, Wu Xian was a bit curious: "What do you mean? You were waiting for me here from the beginning... Wait? You wouldn't have read the script too, would you?"

Good fellow, both the original and the clone could see the script; this was a rhythm of going against the heavens.

"Although I don't know what script you are talking about, if you mean seeing the future, then indeed."

The clone Chu Xuan glanced at Wu Xian, his tone rarely having a trace of fluctuation.

"I exchanged for a bloodline called Time Stargazer in the Main God Space. It has currently reached the double A-rank and can observe the future to a certain extent. This is also why I met you at this time and place."

Wu Xian was speechless.

Time Stargazer... of course he knew there was such an exchange option in the Main God Space.

This was one of the most suitable bloodlines for wise men. Its upper limit was extremely high. The strongest double S-rank enhancement could even allow the exchanger to freely observe the past and future and launch attacks on the enemy's past and future. To a certain extent, it was already a Saint-level means.

In fact, Wu Xian had once suggested that Chu Xuan strengthen this bloodline, not only to improve his ability as a wise man but also to put a patch on his script-reading behavior, making it look less abrupt.

But in the end, this enhancement plan was rejected by Chu Xuan, who went to strengthen the Three-Eyed Clan bloodline instead, which had always made Wu Xian quite regretful.

Now it was good; the enhancement the original didn't want was actually used by the clone. Thinking about it made him feel ironic.

"What did you see in the future, and what is that so-called more important thing?"

Wu Xian asked, feeling that the clone Chu Xuan was preparing to stir up trouble this time.

However, to Wu Xian's inquiry, the clone Chu Xuan didn't answer immediately, but reached into his storage space and took out an ancient-looking golden Buddha statue, and then said: "Wu Xian, have you heard the name Lingkong Xuange?"

Hearing the four words "Lingkong Xuange," Wu Xian's pupils constricted slightly, and then his gaze swept over the Buddha statue in Fu Chu's hand, and a strange expression gradually appeared on his face.

Lingkong Xuange, one of the most mysterious treasures in The Mummy. According to the original description, this should be a relic left by the Human Emperor Fu Xi and the Human Ancestor Hongjun, containing a large amount of cultivation technique materials and powerful magic weapons.

Once a reincarnation team could obtain a part of it, it would undoubtedly greatly improve their strength.

However, Wu Xian, who had read the original work, knew that there was actually a massive trap hidden inside.

Let alone the cultivation techniques, 98% of the magic weapons hidden on the third floor of the Lingkong Xuange were problematic.

Either they were installed with trackers, or they had massive karma with the original users. If one took them, one would fall into a pit at the slightest carelessness, and it would be the kind one couldn't climb out of.

Of course, it wasn't that there were no good things inside, such as the Ruyi Jingu Bang suspected to be Sun Wukong's.

As a pure good person designated by the author, Sun Dasheng didn't leave any calculations on this imitation, and as long as someone could take it away, they could use it at will.

Besides that, there was the Zao Hua Yu Die.

This was an artifact made by the Inner Universe Saint Hongjun. It had no special ability, but it could offset the reversal of time and space and was a supplementary prop for the Great Thousand Artifact 【Fengshen Bang】...

With a thought, Wu Xian thought of a possibility and looked at Chu Xuan with some surprise, asking: "You... have already obtained a fragment of the Fengshen Bang?"

"Not yet."

To Wu Xian's question, the clone Chu Xuan answered without surprise, seemingly having expected it: "But I have already obtained some clues through the observation of the future, so this time coming to the world of The Mummy, I want to try to obtain the Zao Hua Yu Die first."

"So, why not ask your team members for help with such an important matter, but instead find me, the captain of the opposing reincarnation team? Could it be that this is also what you saw in the future, believing that I would definitely help you?"

Wu Xian raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"Partly, but also because of some unexpected situations, for example... the East Sea Team."

Chu Xuan shook his head: "In the future I originally saw, the East Sea Team was just an ordinary reincarnation team, which should have formed an alliance with the Forest Continent Team and been wiped out by the Devil Team.

Instead of being like now, once forcing the Devil Team into a desperate situation. In such a situation, I simply couldn't take them to find Lingkong Xuange."

"In addition, even if Lingkong Xuange were found, with the current strength of the Devil Team, they might not be able to pass the test of Lingkong Xuange.

So when I learned that the Zhongzhou Team would also descend into this world, and deduced that you had already reached the Fourth Stage intermediate, I planned to make this deal with you."

After saying this, another white stone appeared in Chu Xuan's hand, with mysterious runes engraved on it.

"This stone can allow you to break away from the reincarnation team mission this time, not be restricted by the geographical range, and leave Egypt at any time. And the relic where Lingkong Xuange is located is in the Shanxi area of China, and the Buddha statue in my hand is the key to opening the relic."

"I have completed all the preparations. As long as you agree to help me pass the test of Lingkong Xuange and enter it, I am willing to give you all the treasures inside, and I only want the Zao Hua Yu Die."
