Chapter 785: Eerie Last Will [Second Update]

The Space-Breaking Talisman was Xu Que's only hope of returning to Earth!

For such a long time, he had worked hard to accumulate Acting Cool Points, all so that when he reached more than two million Acting Cool Points, he could upgrade the system to version 10.0 in one go, exchange for the crafting method of the Space-Breaking Talisman, and thereby craft a Space-Breaking Talisman to tear through the void and return to Earth for a trip!

But now, the text on this copied map actually mentioned the "Space-Breaking Talisman." Xu Que couldn't help but be moved!

"Little guy, what's wrong?" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan spoke softly, asking with concern.

"This animal skin mentions the Space-Breaking Talisman. That is the only divine object that can let me return to my hometown! Let me see what it says on it first!"

Xu Que replied, simultaneously taking the animal skin. His expression tightened, and he read the text on it carefully.

What was recorded in the animal skin was a route map, as well as last words written by an ancient cultivator named Zhang Tiandao!

From the text, one could understand that this Zhang Tiandao was also a cultivator of the Xuanzhen Continent, but the era was long ago, more than ten thousand years ago; he was almost a person from ancient times.

Back then, he was an existence at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and entered the Heaven Ascension Road.

And the Heaven Ascension Road at that time was vast and rich in resources, with abundant heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and even many Immortal medicines existed. It was known as the backyard abandoned by Immortals!

Many people obtained Immortal medicines from here, refined them into pills, and broke through the void to ascend.

But Zhang Tiandao entered here not to seek Immortal medicine, but because he had obtained the opportunity to leave the Xuanzhen Continent from an ancient ruin—which were two Space-Breaking Talismans!

It's just that the usage of the Space-Breaking Talisman wasn't something that could be triggered anytime, anywhere to leave; it required a specific entrance location to be used.

To put it simply, this Space-Breaking Talisman was like the key to a teleportation array. It needed to be on an accurate teleportation array for the key to open the teleportation and teleport them away, and the other Space-Breaking Talisman was the key to open the return!

According to the clues in the ruins, there existed an entrance for using the Space-Breaking Talisman on the Heaven Ascension Road!

Zhang Tiandao was excited at the time. Since there was an entrance on the Heaven Ascension Road, the Space-Breaking Talisman could definitely lead him to the Immortal Realm, without needing to waste hundreds of years cultivating to the peak of the Great Vehicle Stage.

So he set off alone, and according to the guidance, he came to this place and walked down that road in the mountain valley.

However, halfway through, he met a woman, a very beautiful woman. The two traveled together, cracked many restrictions and arrays, and harvested many heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

After a few months, Zhang Tiandao and that woman developed feelings for each other and decided to become Dao companions.

So Zhang Tiandao told that woman the secret of the Space-Breaking Talisman. Naturally, the woman was very happy when she found out, and the two swore to go to the Immortal Realm to be a couple of immortals.

Unfortunately, good times didn't last long. Halfway through, the two encountered an extremely tricky killing array and were deeply trapped in it.

This array was eerie in that no matter how many people entered, they had to join forces to break it, but if they couldn't break the array, half the people could be let out first, while the other half would be trapped in the array forever!

So in order to survive, the woman betrayed Zhang Tiandao, took away his storage ring, and fled the array.

Zhang Tiandao was furious. He spent countless years studying the killing array, and finally, before his lifespan was exhausted, he found an opportunity, wrote down these last words, and recorded the map, transmitting himself out of the array. He claimed that the Space-Breaking Talisman hadn't been taken away, and whoever could bring back that woman's head could obtain his Space-Breaking Talisman!

"..."

After reading all the content, Xu Que remained silent, lost in thought.

Clearly, there were several suspicious points in these last words; either Zhang Tiandao had hidden something, or these last words were fabricated.

However, Xu Que believed the former was more likely, because there didn't seem to be any need to fabricate these things.

As for whether Zhang Tiandao really had the Space-Breaking Talisman, it was also a bit hard to say.

But if he did, Xu Que also believed that the Space-Breaking Talisman was really still on him; otherwise, that woman would have long since left this realm, and Zhang Tiandao wouldn't have needed to risk his life to send out this last will, asking someone to help him kill that woman.

"How is it?" At this moment, Jiang Hongyan spoke, asking softly.

Xu Que shook his head: "There are many uncertain possibilities, but..."

He paused slightly, raised his head, scanned the mountain peak, and said in a deep voice: "But it's worth a try. If I can obtain the Space-Breaking Talisman, perhaps I will have a chance to return to my hometown soon!"

Zhang Tiandao's last words wrote that the Space-Breaking Talisman required a specific entrance to be used, but he didn't say that these specific entrances must lead to a fixed place. Therefore, those entrances were likely void gaps. As long as one had the Space-Breaking Talisman, one could activate it, then set the direction, and return to Earth.

Although it was just a guess, Xu Que still decided to give it a try. Only by obtaining the Space-Breaking Talisman would he know what the next step should be!

"You want to enter that mountain? But..." Jiang Hongyan was slightly moved.

But before she could finish speaking, Xu Que interrupted: "I know there are Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes inside, but it doesn't matter. Whether it's fighting zombies, vampires, or aliens, I've never been afraid! Because I must go home!"

"Good! I'll accompany you!" Jiang Hongyan stopped trying to persuade him and nodded without hesitation.

This instead made Xu Que somewhat hesitant. After all, those were Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes, and he had never seen them before. He didn't know if he was confident enough to handle them. If he brought Jiang Hongyan along, he might not be able to take care of her.

"Let's go, little guy! This time, I won't let you take risks alone!" Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly and said softly.

Xu Que was stunned for a moment and touched the tip of his nose sheepishly.

Back then, when Jiang Hongyan wanted to return to the Xuanzhen Continent alone, she probably had this same feeling, fearing that bringing him along would put him in danger.

Now that Jiang Hongyan had said this, she was also reminding Xu Que that it was impossible for her to let him take risks alone this time.

"Awoo, kid, this God Venerable has important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!" Er Gouzi had been listening from the side. At this moment, hearing that they were going to enter the mountain to face those terrifying Heaven-Devouring Demon Mosquitoes, it immediately turned cowardly and turned its head, wanting to run.

Xu Que immediately reached out a hand, directly dragged Er Gouzi up, and smiled: "Er Gouzi, whatever matters you have, it won't be too late to handle them after we come back!"

"Awoo, don't! This God Venerable really has matters to attend to!"

"Damn! Kid, let go, this God Venerable isn't going!"

"Damn it, this God Venerable doesn't want to die!"

Er Gouzi struggled and shouted with all its might.

Xu Que ignored it. This time, he might really need Er Gouzi's help, so how could he let it run away?

Immediately, Xu Que turned around, held Jiang Hongyan's hand with his other hand, and smiled slightly: "Let's go!"

"Good!" A beautiful smile also appeared on Jiang Hongyan's face, and she nodded.

With a "whoosh," the two soared into the sky and headed straight for that mountain peak.

On the ground, only those few cultivators remained, looking dazed, swallowing their saliva with difficulty.

"They... they don't want their lives anymore? They actually dare to go over?"

"Forget it, forget it, let's not worry about them. We should leave the Heaven Ascension Road as soon as possible!"

"By the way, did you notice just now that that woman looked very familiar?"

"Damn, what time is it, and you're still in the mood to discuss this!"

"But she was truly stunning. I didn't speak just now because I was dumbfounded. In this life, I have never seen such a perfect person!"

"That's not it! Where are you talking about? Didn't you realize that she looks very much like that person who disappeared hundreds of years ago?"

"Hmm? Could it be..."

"Damn! I remember now!"

"I remember now too!"

"The Empress of the Tongtian Kingdom! The fiancée of the Sage Palace's Young Master!"
