Chapter 8: Two Daoists in the Return Ruins

"Is it an enemy?"

"A friend." At least for now.

Xiang Xuanqing examined the bubble in his hand; a huge portal was floating in the chaotic and disorderly deep space.

"Is there anything wrong?" The goddess leaned in to look, her beautiful eyes blinking: "I studied it specially when he sent it over, it seems there is no problem."

"That's not necessarily true." Xiang Xuanqing's eyes were deep; he saw mottled traces of time on this portal, "What if I say he sent this from the beginning of creation?"

"You mean..." The goddess widened her eyes, and then she saw a shocking scene: when Xiang Xuanqing poked the bubble, a breath of ancient uniqueness leaked from the portal. Through this portal, she saw an axe blade!

An axe blade that split chaos!

Infinite slaughter condensed in one axe, blood and rain followed, chaos boiled, killing intent and evil spirit surged like a rolling black tide, and the universe was shrouded in a tyrannical will.

"Bang!"

Just when the goddess thought the Creation Axe was going to hack down mercilessly, the Ghost Gate closed in time.

"Don't worry, this is just an imprint." Xiang Xuanqing refined the Ghost Gate in an instant. He looked at the portal hovering in his palm, seriously suspecting that the scene just now was done by Hongjun on purpose.

This creation imprint should be a scene that Daoist Hongjun saw with his own eyes at the beginning of creation. He sealed it in the Ghost Gate and sent it to the You Ming Jie across endless time and space.

He probably just waited for Xiang Xuanqing to give him a "surprise" when he mastered the Ghost Gate.

"Scared me to death~" The goddess on the side patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief. Although separated by endless time and space, she did not doubt that once the divine power of the Creation Axe light was released, the three thousand great dreams would shatter in an instant.

"Are all your friends sending gifts like this?" The goddess looked at the Ghost Gate with resentment, "What kind of friend is this, not reliable at all."

"Indeed not reliable!" Xiang Xuanqing smiled. Combining the words Hongjun asked him to consider carefully earlier, this was not a way for the other party to show off his strength.

This time it was a harmless imprint? But what about next time?

"Hongjun, I look forward to our next meeting." Xiang Xuanqing said silently in his heart. This time he didn't use "Pangu Mechanics" to shield the other party, believing Hongjun could hear it.

Deep in the Return Ruins.

Two young Daoists were squatting in a void, each holding a fishing rod, having been there for a while.

Suddenly, one of the Daoists opened his eyes, "Sigh, young people are impatient, why are they still serious?"

"Why? Is Fellow Daoist Fengdu unhappy?"

The other Daoist remained motionless, concentrating on guarding his rod, "If you ask me, you are also bored, old Daoist. If you want to send something, just send it. Why deliberately do that? It's no wonder people aren't happy."

"Didn't I think about opening the eyes of the young man?" Young Daoist Hongjun said happily: "Our trip wasn't easy, with both Demon Gods and Pangu, and we finally attained the Great Luo Realm. Shouldn't we find someone to share it with?"

"Besides, the Creation Axe imprint is still very rare. I spent a lot of effort to seal it in the Ghost Gate, and it's good to look at it when I have nothing to do as a collection."

"Not to mention being able to comprehend the Pangu Dao, maybe I can comprehend a move or two."

Young Yang Mei glanced at Hongjun faintly: "Comprehend a move or two? When Fellow Daoist Fengdu uses it to hack you, you'll be honest."

"That can't be!" Young Hongjun was very confident: "Fellow Daoist Fengdu is a particular person, and I at least gave him a gift."

"Gift? Sticking gold on your own face." Young Yang Mei disdained: "That was originally something belonging to the You Ming Jie, but it was snatched by you in advance. Is it still called a gift to return it now?"

"You are wrong." Young Hongjun was unhappy, "What is snatched in advance? That's called taking!"

"I took it from the Divine Peach Tree by my own ability, so what if I use it? I got it first, which means it's fated with me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, all the innate spiritual treasures in the Primordial World are fated with you!"

Young Yang Mei couldn't stand Hongjun's shamelessness, possessing a pile of spiritual treasures, yet calling himself "Poor Daoist"—a poor Daoist. If this counts as poor, then all the innate gods in the Primordial World shouldn't live.

"Hey! You really said it right, I am really fated with all the innate spiritual treasures in the Primordial World!"

Young Hongjun said seriously: "I tell you, when I save up three thousand spiritual treasures one day, I won't use them, just put them all on that Chaos Stone of mine, just as a collection."

Young Yang Mei rolled his eyes at Hongjun after hearing this: "That's great, remember to notify me when you have this collection one day, I'll be the first to rob the rich and help the poor!"

"Yo, look at you, squatting here for half a day, can't even fish up an island, and still want to rob the rich and help the poor?"

Young Yang Mei held the fishing rod and glared at Hongjun: "Is it my problem that I can't fish up an island? Isn't it that you calculated the wrong direction, and the fairy mountain you mentioned isn't here at all?"

"How could I be wrong? The five fairy mountains are in the Return Ruins."

"Cut, so confident, aren't you also empty-hooked?"

Young Daoist Hongjun said: "Fishing, how can it be called empty-hooked?"

"Everything has a fate, and it will be fished up when the fate arrives. Don't be anxious."

You Ming Jie.

After returning from the dream, Xiang Xuanqing waited for his refining results while studying the Ghost Gate.

Generally speaking, an innate spiritual treasure, like an innate god, is nurtured by heaven and earth. Regardless of the grade, they all possess their own unique abilities.

For example, holding the God-Killing Spear possesses supreme offensive power, stepping on the Industry Fire Red Lotus can fear no karma, possessing the Kunlun Mirror can travel through time and space, and using the Pangu Banner can unleash the Creation Sword Qi...

As the portal of the You Ming Jie, the Ghost Gate's primary ability is to pick up wandering souls from all worlds, and the second is to suppress the You Ming Jie.

As the first god of the You Ming Jie, Xiang Xuanqing can fully use his authority, combined with the Ghost Gate's ability to seal the major exits of the You Ming Jie.

At that time, where the Ghost Gate is, is the only entrance and exit of the You Ming Jie.

With it, no matter who enters the You Ming Jie, they have to pass through the Ghost Gate.

"The first ability is not necessary to use now, but this second ability is quite good." Xiang Xuanqing nodded. With this, he doesn't have to worry about being stolen from.

Now the You Ming Jie has no need to pick up wandering souls from all worlds. As long as I carry the Ghost Gate with me, who can sneak into the You Ming Jie?

Or, putting a large killing formation behind the Ghost Gate is also fine, catching the unlucky ones who peek at the You Ming Jie in one net?

Then, while studying, a thought suddenly popped into Xiang Xuanqing's mind.

"Since the Ghost Gate has the ability to pick up wandering souls from all worlds, can I use it to go to any place in all worlds?"

Saying it, he did it. Xiang Xuanqing substituted the idea of the Anywhere Door into it and tried to use the Ghost Gate's ability in reverse.

Then, he grabbed into the air.

A doorknob appeared in Xiang Xuanqing's hand.

Success!
