Chapter 80

These two together form the "Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap."

Before the diary instance, hearing Jiang Sishui recount the origins and background of the "Ten Directions Extinction," the expressions of all the women froze in stupor.

The Heavenly Realm, the Jade Pool, the Duke of Thunder and Mother of Lightning, the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens, the Heavenly Demon, the Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap...

Was this truly not just a mythological tale?

A divine weapon... so this was a divine weapon?

It was indeed a weapon used by heavenly gods.

No, it was a weapon capable of easily slaying heavenly gods!

But in a world like this, could it still be considered martial arts? Had it truly merged in as well?

Saying nothing else, merely activating this single "Ten Directions Extinction" would be enough to completely destroy the entire Central Region, wouldn't it?

Would that not make Jiang Sishui invincible?

At this thought, the heartstrings of all the women trembled violently.

"Pity, the 'Ten Directions Extinction' I obtained is incomplete; it appears to be only one-quarter of the original body, and the power contained within seems largely depleted."

"Otherwise, I would be invincible immediately!"

The "Ten Directions Extinction" was incomplete? Its might diminished?

At this moment, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

For such a dangerous power capable of destroying the world was truly unfit to be held in the hands of any single individual.

Even if that person were a good person, it would not do!

"Such a divine weapon as the 'Ten Directions Extinction' has actually shattered, and the system's hint is quite interesting too—a relic from the 'Lost Era of Gods and Demons.'"

"A relic from the Era of Gods and Demons... and this era is described as lost..."

"Does this mean that the story of 'Divine Weapon and Mysterious Strange' is actually the history of this world, merely forgotten by the world for some reason?"

"And could the fact that no experts of the Shattered Realm can emerge in this world also be related to that period of history?"

"After all, even the 'Ten Directions Extinction' has shattered; there must have been a world-shaking catastrophe in the past."

History? The story of 'Divine Weapon and Mysterious Strange' was history that had already passed?

The women's hearts stirred, and suddenly everything became clear.

If this were the case, it would explain why the divine weapons from 'Divine Weapon and Mysterious Strange' had all appeared, while the people had vanished without a trace.

Perhaps those terrifying existences, god-like and demon-like, had long since perished in that catastrophe, buried in the dust of history.

Thinking of this, the slightly heavy mood of all the women instantly lightened.

"If this is truly so, have big shots like Fuxi and the Heavenly Demon really died out completely, or are they hiding in some corner, waiting for a day of rebirth and revival?"

"Will there be a day when the past reappears in the future?"

"None of these things are impossible."

"However, even if such events occur, they should not happen within the short term; I still have sufficient time to grow."

"Rather than worrying unnecessarily now, it would be better to search for the remaining fragments of the 'Ten Directions Extinction' to see if this divine weapon can be reassembled."

"The 'Ten Directions Extinction' contains infinite wisdom, mysteries, and divine abilities; even a single fragment can benefit a person immensely."

"Was it not precisely by relying on it that Wu Wu Ya Zi, despite his crippled body, could set up an array to trap and kill a heavenly being?"

"Now that its owner has become me, I must make full use of it and absolutely cannot let this bright pearl gather dust."

"So that is how it is; no wonder the 'Zhenlong Illusion Array' is so powerful; it turns out such a great secret was hidden behind it."

All the women suddenly realized the truth.

And the next sentence in the diary's content further tugged at the nerves of those with ulterior motives.

"Although it is uncertain into how many pieces the 'Ten Directions Extinction' has shattered, it is highly likely that one of them was obtained by that old man."

Old man? Which old man?

Many women widened their eyes, held their breath, and stared fixedly at the diary instance, all desperate to know the whereabouts of the "Ten Directions Extinction" fragments.

If they could seize this item, let alone heavenly beings, they might even have hope of becoming demigods!

What kind of temptation was this?

"In the plot of 'Divine Weapon and Mysterious Strange,' Zhang Zhang Junbao comprehended the 'Taiji Palm' from within the 'Ten Directions Extinction,' divided into three forms: Not Stagnant in Matter, Taiji Boundless, and Taiji Force."

"Zhang Zhang Junbao is the original name of Zhang Zhang Sanfeng."

"Although the Zhang Zhang Sanfeng of this era seems to be a fusion of images from multiple works, making the original plot inapplicable, fate is a difficult thing to predict."

"What belongs to someone may, after many twists and turns, still end up in that person's hands."

"Therefore, Zhang Zhang Sanfeng might also possess a fragment of the 'Ten Directions Extinction.'"

"Zhang Zhang Sanfeng?"

Upon seeing this name, all the women who had previously harbored wild ambitions immediately abandoned their thoughts.

Trying to snatch something from Old Daoist Zhang?

Heh, better go wash up and sleep!

Ezhou, Mount Mount Mount Wudang.

Yin Yin Susu subconsciously tightened her grip on the diary instance, her eyes sparkling with spirit, unable to help but feel her heart flutter.

Asking for a fragment of the "Ten Directions Extinction" from Zhang Zhang Sanfeng? She dared not indulge in such delusions.

After all, although Zhang Zhang Sanfeng was friendly toward her, he was certainly no fool; how could he casually give away something so important to others?

However, could she perhaps devise a plan to give Zhang Zhang Zhang Wuji an opportunity to make contact with it and comprehend it?

Yin Yin Susu began to calculate in her heart.

After a long while, she helplessly sighed again.

Zhang Zhang Sanfeng was currently in secluded cultivation; no one knew how long it would be before he emerged, and even waiting two or three years might not guarantee a result.

And during this time, let alone comprehending "Ten Directions Extinction," his son would likely be taught into a pedantic fool!

Mengzhou, the great grasslands.

Ah Qing, always carefree and at ease, rose to her feet and gazed into the distance.

"Divine Weapon... Zhang Zhang Sanfeng..."

A trace of curiosity appeared on Ah Qing's beautiful face; then she raised her green bamboo staff and began driving the flock of sheep.

"Come, I'll take you to taste the grass of the south."

[With Zhang Zhang Sanfeng's strength, forcibly seizing it is out of the question for now, but outwitting him might still be possible.]

[Yet that is also extremely dangerous; after all, the methods of a Demigod are beyond the reach of mortals. Playing tricks before a Demigod could easily lead to playing with fire and getting burned.]

[I have the System in my hands; there is no need to take such a huge risk.]

[I can only plan for it gradually in the future.]

"At least you have some self-awareness."

As for Jiang Sishui's tactfulness, the women all approved.

After all, no matter how extraordinary your talent or how boundless your prospects, when facing opponents currently invincible, you must temporarily keep a low profile.

In this world, geniuses who perish halfway far outnumber those who successfully rise.

[After a series of events, dawn finally broke.]

[I went down the mountain to find Zhao Zhao Qiying and happened to meet her halfway.]

[Finally becoming a Grandmaster, standing before Zhao Zhao Tianhao once again without any reserve—this is the confidence and assurance that strength brings.]

[This father-in-law is quite good; whether I am a Grandmaster or a weak scholar, his attitude has remained unchanged, and he has never obstructed matters between Zhao Zhao Qiying and me.]

[Hmm, I must prepare a substantial betrothal gift for him in the future to properly express my gratitude.]

At this moment, Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying sat knee-to-knee with Wang Wang Wang Yuyan, Zhu Sister Sister Abi, and the other two women.

Since the fact that they each possessed a copy of the diary was no secret, both parties quickly became familiar with one another.

Seeing Jiang Sishui's friendly attitude toward Zhao Zhao Tianhao, a smile appeared on Zhao Zhao Zhao Qiying's face; joy lifted her brows and the corners of her eyes as she murmured something too quiet for others to hear.

Wang Wang Wang Yuyan and the other two women watched her with eyes full of envy.

Husband and father—the two most important men in a woman's life; not only do both dote on and love her, but they also get along harmoniously with each other. This alone is the greatest happiness.

[Upon ascending the mountain, I discovered that the "Zhenlong Chess Gathering" had already begun.]

[Although Wu Wu Ya Zi's cultivation has already been transferred to me, with the heroes already assembled, the chess gathering must proceed as planned; otherwise, aside from offending people, the reputation of the Xiaoyao Sect would be utterly ruined.]

[In any case, the possibility of the "Zhenlong Chess Array" being solved is exceedingly slim.]
