Chapter 140

The sky gradually darkened as a man in a black suit, with black hair and brown eyes, skillfully opened the gate and walked into the room.

Just as he entered, Klein saw a youth of eighteen or nineteen sitting cross-legged at his own dining table; the instant the other's gaze swept over him, the dense fog in the depths of his consciousness unexpectedly began to tumble and oscillate, strands of gray fog surging restlessly in all directions.

"Hello! Zhou Mingrui!" That youth's gaze pierced through his body like the sun, his consciousness pressing straight toward the depths of his soul, as if observing the things in the depths of that gray fog, yet he blandly spoke his biggest secret!

"Boom!"

Klein only felt this name heavy as a thousand jun land on his consciousness, causing him to lose the ability to think for a while.

Jiang Xuan was not anxious, waiting for the other to digest his brief sentence.

Actually the difficulty of digesting was not high; after all, before this Klein had already been suspecting whether Roselle the Great was a transmigrator like him, so another transmigrator of the present day appearing did not seem hard to accept.

After a long time, Klein's consciousness finally returned to reality.

Jiang Xuan looked at the other's face which seemed to have no emotional fluctuations, but with thoughts circulating, who knew what he was complaining about in his heart.

"Hello!" Klein greeted briefly, swaying his already stiff body slightly, and did not ask too many questions. Too many words lead to mistakes; caution was his consistent style.

Yin and yang circulated in Jiang Xuan's eyes; his divine sense had already followed the vine to touch the melon, landing on that high suspended space above, an abandoned castle shrouded in gray fog, and along with his probing, the gray fog began to autonomously resist.

Although he only took one look, Jiang Xuan had already seen through the essence of that Source Castle and gray fog; it was completely composed of rules, the ability to create rules, use rules, and customize rules materialized.

"Qian Sui! You also transmigrated to this world?" Klein truly could not endure this silent environment and could not help but speak.

Jiang Xuan's gaze returned from the Source Castle, laughing as he shook his head: "I came to this world on my own initiative to take a look!"

Klein's heart shook; this young man actually had such heaven-reaching strength to shuttle between worlds? If it were before he would never believe it, but now he had transmigrated too, and obtained a miraculous ability, witnessed that unfathomable place the Source Castle, what thing would not happen?

Suddenly, Klein's eyes lit up: "Then can Qian Sui take me back to my previous world?"

Jiang Xuan looked at the other with a bit of comedy: "This is your previous world!"

"Impossible! Earth! My previous world is Earth!" Seeing Jiang Xuan truly had no malice toward him, Klein's courage also grew a bit as he retorted.

Jiang Xuan roughly explained: "Back when you were living quietly, the Creator split on Earth into Floating Life Xuanhuang Heavenly Venerate and God, they fought a battle and finally perished together, and the Earth you are familiar with has already been destroyed!"

"The reason your consciousness still remained on the Earth of that time is because the Heavenly Venerate, before perishing, seized some humans as a backup plan and vessels for resurrecting again; the first two vessels both failed to let the Heavenly Venerate resurrect, so you should be the third vessel placed."

"Roselle the Great!" Klein lowered his head, striving to digest Jiang Xuan's words, muttering to himself in a low voice.

Jiang Xuan nodded at the right moment: "Roselle the Great was also one of them!"

"I am the Heavenly Venerate's vessel?" Klein's cane unconsciously fell to the ground; he did not actively recite the Heavenly Venerate's name, yet his consciousness was pulled by the gray fog to above the gray fog, faintly visible an abandoned castle standing tall, the hollows on the castle like a pair of ruthless eyes gazing at him.

"I am myself! I am not anyone's vessel!" Klein disregarded that tumbling gray fog, his gaze returning clear and firm as he looked at the mysterious youth before him: "Qian Sui! Can you help me get rid of the destiny of becoming a vessel?"

Jiang Xuan laughed and nodded: "No problem!"

This world's application of rules is quite complete, but its application of divine sense and soul is relatively crude; otherwise there would not be situations of weirding out due to being unable to withstand materials.

Klein was ultimately able to rely on the "Tarot Club" members as anchors to find back his consciousness; with his ability, intervening to not let the Heavenly Venerate's consciousness resurrect is not difficult. Of course the most important premise is that the Heavenly Venerate is already dead; if alive, Jiang Xuan would also not dare to act against him.

"What do we need to do?" Klein lowered his guard and sat at the other end of the dining table.

Jiang Xuan laughed: "Right now I want to go to the Evernight Church to take a look!"

"Evernight Church!" Klein blanked for a moment; the Evernight Church has the Evernight Goddess continuously watching, this young man going to the Evernight Church, is he not afraid of danger? This is a world where Divine Kingdoms exist!

"It's fine!" Jiang Xuan saw through Klein's worry, patted the other's shoulder to comfort him.

The next second Jiang Xuan grabbed the other and took a step; the two instantly appeared outside the Evernight Church gate; because Jiang Xuan used divine sense to deliberately shield the senses of surrounding people, no one noticed two people appearing here.

Originally Jiang Xuan prepared to directly shift into the Evernight Church interior, but the entire church, especially underground, was shrouded by a kind of rule, stabilizing this space so it could not be opened at will, so he could only shift to the entrance.

Withdrawing his divine sense, the two walked into the church slowly like ordinary people.

The midnight church was exceptionally quiet; the Nighthawks, upon discovering Klein bringing someone into the cathedral, gradually surrounded the two, Captain Dunn staring dead at Jiang Xuan in the darkness.

Although Jiang Xuan discovered the few people, he did not act against them, merely walking into the cathedral like an ordinary person.

"Praise the Goddess!" Jiang Xuan looked at that hazy statue, hands clasped as he sat on that wooden long bench.

Sensing the rule power gathering around him, his expression gradually fell silent, allowing a strand of darkness rule to take his consciousness away from his body, or darkness weaving a private plot within his body.

"You seem to understand me very well too!" A doubtful voice rang by his ear.

Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes; all he saw was darkness; not far away stood a figure shrouded in haziness, a black gauze robe, holding a black scythe above which condensed the Authority of Death, a deathly still intent permeating, a weird aura circulating around Jiang Xuan, yet blocked by the Xuanhuang Mother Qi deep in his skin.

"Just like I said to Klein, you are the first lady placed!" Jiang Xuan knew the reason Klein joined the Evernight Church included the Evernight Goddess secretly watching, so he did not conceal anything.

"You are not of this world; the power on you I cannot see, yet can feel, very powerful!" The Evernight Goddess felt Jiang Xuan would not weird out from observing her, her figure also gradually solidifying.

Clear cold gaze staring at Jiang Xuan: "What do you want to obtain?"

Jiang Xuan spread his hands: "I just came to see how powerful the Evernight Goddess is; it doesn't seem like there's any meaning of being interrogated by you!"

Darkness surged; this dark space gradually closed, rules intertwining in a peculiar form; ordinary people looking would probably immediately go mad or turn into flesh monsters.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the closing dark space, laughed: "I have no malice! And if your main body doesn't descend, you pose no threat to me whatsoever!"

Although he is still only at the stage of observing rules, after smelting the Immortal Slaying Sword, his attacks have reached the Saint level; rules are not hard for him to break, let alone the Darkness Goddess's main body still being in her Divine Kingdom "Deep Dark Heaven"; the rules she sent down are not hard to resolve.

"What is your purpose?" The Evernight Goddess asked again; darkness slowly intertwining.

Jiang Xuan helplessly shook his head: "Maybe it's to become stronger! And I said if you don't use your main body, you pose no threat to me!"

As his words fell, Jiang Xuan waved his hand forward lightly; a strand of white light shot from his fingertips into the darkness; the darkness rules were instantly severed; the entire space uncontrollably turned into a bubble and vanished.

The white light withdrew into his body; Jiang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, yin and yang circulating in his eyes as he quietly looked at Dunn standing in the darkness.

Dunn's face changed; the darkness in his heart was pierced; a yin-yang rotating mirror light shone within, neutralizing and forbidding the ability he used.

Just now he saw Jiang Xuan not moving for a long time due to prayer, so he prepared to hypnotize the other to interrogate; after all, night is not the time for prayer, and he even brought Klein from the squad.

Unexpectedly the other with just one gaze broke through his hypnosis, even completely sealing his ability to use darkness.

"You go over there and tell Dunn, say I have no malice! Leaving right now!" Jiang Xuan pointed at Dunn standing in the darkness, speaking to Klein beside him.

"Benson and Melissa are already waiting for you to return; I'm leaving first!" Words finished, Jiang Xuan strolled toward the outside of the Evernight Church.

"Qian Sui! How do I find you!" Klein anxiously spoke.

Jiang Xuan pointed at the sky above, stepped out of the Evernight Church, instantly vanishing into the darkness.

Klein doubtfully glanced at the cathedral's ceiling, no time to doubt hurriedly went over to explain to Dunn.

Jiang Xuan's figure flashed; when he appeared again he was already at the entrance of the second floor of an ancient wooden building city; stepping on the wooden stairs still emitted a "creak" of rotten wood friction.

Pushing open the door and entering the room, a middle-aged man with golden hair and vertical brows sat in the living room, an open book beside him, a pure white feather automatically writing upon it.

A line of words slowly emerged: "The unobservable variable that has been watching Instanzgwil suddenly appeared before Instanzgwil, its purpose unknown!"

This pen was the Sealed Artifact 0-08, Brush of Alsu, stolen by Instanzgwil when he defected from the Evernight Church, and it later led to Dunn's death and Klein overdrafting his energy to revive.

As Jiang Xuan approached, the feather's writing speed slowed more and more, until Jiang Xuan sat in the rocking chair prepared for him, and the feather had completely stopped.

Instanzgwil clearly learned of Jiang Xuan's arrival from the story the feather secretly wrote, and knew he could not possibly flee, his gaze gloomy as he stared at Jiang Xuan: "You ruined the story I wrote!"

Jiang Xuan shook his head: "A bad story is unnecessary to continue!"

Instanzgwil knew the other had come for him, his fingers lightly sliding over his own skin, strand after strand of black mist rising from it, turning into wraiths that surrounded Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan observed the wraiths around him; their composition was like a condensation of souls, but without the soul consciousness of cultivators, they could only perform mechanical movements and understand shallow commands.

"Sequence Five: Doorkeeper, is this all the power there is?" Jiang Xuan shook his head in disappointment.

Although he knew that Sequence Four and above was where qualitative change occurred, Sequence Five's abilities were indeed too weak!

The Eight Trigrams Furnace appeared on Jiang Xuan's chest, red flames soaring from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the wraiths were exterminated before they could even pounce, and the entire room was engulfed in a great fire.

Instanzgwil knew only by killing Jiang Xuan could he survive, his body lunged out to attack.

But in Jiang Xuan's eyes, his movements were like slow motion; this world hardly paid attention to tempering the body, and with rules useless, Instanzgwil was like a tiger with its teeth pulled, posing no threat to Jiang Xuan at all.

A flame pounced at him, Jiang Xuan didn't even glance at him, striding over to Sealed Artifact 0-08.

Brush of Alsu! This was an ordinary-looking feather pen, composed of Sequence One "Writer" characteristics, its ability being that the story written by the feather pen would gradually become reality, its drawback being that it would autonomously write stories unfavorable to its master when the master was not paying attention.

As the red light slowly dissipated, Instanzgwil turned to ash and dissipated, left behind on the spot were several supernatural materials composed of rules.

As Instanzgwil died, the feather pen began writing again:

"Instanzgwil died for his disrespect of ignorance, Alsu welcomes a new powerful master, but at the same time a wandering gaze discovered this place, that indescribable existence cast its gaze toward this region! He..."

Jiang Xuan casually grabbed the pen and did not let it continue writing, because he had already sensed a rule falling in the air, actually causing his Inner Heart to warn him!

The next second after holding the feather pen, Jiang Xuan stepped out of the small house, appearing in an uninhabited room in Tingen.

The moment Jiang Xuan left the wooden house, a tall gentleman pushed open the door of the Washroom from inside, pushed his monocle revealing a faint smile, walked straight to the open book, finished reading that page, and a smile of a Hunter finding prey appeared on his face.

"An unmeasurable variable? How interesting!"

The voice echoed through the empty wooden stairwell, the figure with a gold-rimmed monocle had already pushed open the door of the Washroom and walked in.

The entire wooden house burned with blazing flames, devouring everything.

At this time Jiang Xuan sat in meditation in the room, the Eight Trigrams Furnace at his Dantian spinning, red flames churning within the furnace.

In the Eight Trigrams Furnace, while the feather pen was being scorched by the Red Gold Flame, strand after strand of eerie blood-red aura seeped out, making the originally red Furnace Cauldron increasingly demonic!

The blood-red aura turned into human roars, eerie blood-red skulls struggled out of the furnace, some with deformed and terrified faces, some with faces covered in pustules and hideously terrifying, but all were thoroughly purified by the Eight Trigrams Furnace, turning into useless mental power that integrated into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

After these mental powers were completely cleared, the feather pen appeared even more pure, white and holy, strand after strand of rule characteristics belonging to "Writer" upheld it so it would not be refined by the Red Gold Flame.

Jiang Xuan's divine sense crossed the Red Gold Flame and probed into the feather, a collection of rules belonging to Sequence One "Writer" appeared.

Vast rule knowledge and usage poured into his consciousness like a flood, in just a few seconds forcing him to forcibly cut off his divine sense's probing at the moment he could no longer bear it.
