Chapter 1483 Stone Calabash

The giant bear flared up when it saw Zhou Wen and the baby bear remain motionless. It pushed Zhou Wen and the bear to the side and stood in front of the stone platform. Its claws formed a hug before it moved up and down in the air a few times. Then, it turned its head and roared at Zhou Wen and the baby bear.

What do you mean? Teaching us how to wreak havoc via example? Do you want us to smash this calabash and stone platform? Zhou Wen felt that the giant bear was using its actions to get them to carry the calabash and stone platform and lift them up before throwing them to the ground.

As Zhou Wen was still thinking, the giant bear roared at the two of them again and nudged them with its claws, almost pushing them onto the stone platform.

Zhou Wen thought to himself, That baby bear is silly. It probably can't comprehend the giant bear's intentions. Now is the time for me to showcase myself.

Roar! With this in mind, Zhou Wen mimicked the giant bear and roared. He even extended his claws, wanting to pound his chest.

But on second thought, that was a gorilla's action. Bears probably didn't do such things. He hurriedly lowered his hands and stole a glance at the giant bear.

Thankfully, the giant bear didn't mind. Only then did Zhou Wen feel relieved. He extended his claws and hugged the calabash, hoping to lift it up and smash it.

Since the giant bear was around, Laojun Platform would pin the blame on the giant bear even if it wanted to settle scores.

Zhou Wen believed that he was quite good at wreaking havoc. As he tried to pick up the stone calabash and smash it to the ground, the stone calabash remained motionless despite him exerting his strength. It had no intention of being lifted.

The stone calabash was only about two feet tall and didn't look too heavy. In order to pull off his act as a baby bear, Zhou Wen used very little strength. Seeing that he couldn't move it, he secretly used more strength.

The calabash didn't budge as though it had been welded to the stone platform below.

Zhou Wen increased his strength and tried a few more times, but the outcome was the same every time. The calabash didn't show any movement.

What's up with this stone calabash? Could it be that this thing is a treasure? But if it's really a treasure, why would it be placed outside? It should be stored in the hall. Zhou Wen sized up the stone calabash and was momentarily unsure of its origins.

Zhou Wen regretted not carefully studying what was present on Laojun Platform before coming

He never expected such a situation. Laojun Platform wasn't a threat to him. He had come here to deal with the giant bear, but things had turned out this way.

The baby bear seemed intrigued by Zhou Wen's actions. It tottered over with its plump body and pushed Zhou Wen to the side. It wrapped its four paws around the stone calabash.

It must be a joke if you can lift it while I can't, Zhou Wen thought.

However, now that the baby bear had taken the initiative, it could be considered as helping him out. Zhou Wen was rather grateful to it.

While the baby bear was hugging the calabash, Zhou Wen realized that there were clouds and dragon patterns engraved on it. A dragon shuttled through the clouds-its body mostly hidden. It emitted a refreshing and elegant aura.

The baby bear was a simpleton. It hugged the stone calabash and had no intention of lifting it up. It even wanted to bite it as though it wanted to know if it could be eaten.

After biting it twice to no avail, it even gestured at the calabash with his front claws as though it wanted to know if it could swallow the calabash.

If you can eat this thing, I'll respect you as a man! Just as Zhou Wen had this thought, he suddenly saw the calabash glow.

Golden light seeped out from the cloud patterns. There was seemingly something inside the originally solid stone calabash.

It was naturally impossible for the stone calabash to have a hole, but now, there was a golden glow at the top of the calabash. Then, a golden object spewed out from the calabash's mouth amidst the luminance.

Zhou Wen only saw a Golden Elixir Pill spew out before the baby bear opened its mouth and swallowed it.

After swallowing it, the baby bear even smacked its lips as though it wasn't satisfied.

The baby bear wanted more. It hugged the calabash and began gnawing. It was unknown how it did it, but soon, another pill spewed out.

The baby bear opened its mouth and swallowed it. Zhou Wen didn't even see what the pill looked like as it shimmered with golden light.

Perhaps it was because of the pill, Zhou Wen saw a faint golden luster appear on the baby bear's fur. Furthermore, it emitted a refreshing fragrance.

Don't tell me that the pills that fly out of the calabash… are Taishang Laojun's Golden Elixir Pills… Zhou Wen's eyes nearly popped out.

The baby bear chewed and chewed one pill after another. It left Zhou Wen envious.

This was Taishang Laojun's territory. The pills that appeared were likely immortal pills. Even if they weren't the famous Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir Pill, they were definitely not ordinary.

Now, Zhou Wen understood that the giant bear wasn't here to wreak havoc, but to eat the immortal pills.

Zhou Wen wanted to slap himself. He had failed to seize such a good opportunity. He was the one who had hugged the calabash first.

Who knew that this would happen? That giant bear was so violent the moment it came here. I thought it wanted… Zhou Wen was filled with regret, but it was useless. All he could do was wait by the side, hoping that the baby bear would quickly release the calabash and give him the opportunity to get two immortal pills.

However, the baby bear seemed to have a huge appetite. It didn't seem satiated despite eating seven or eight pills. It continued gnawing away.

Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. Look at your figure. How are you going to find a life partner in the future? Which bear chick will like you? Get yourself together. Stop eating and start losing weight. Zhou Wen kept muttering inwardly.

It was unknown if the baby bear heard his thoughts or if it was really full, but it released the stone calabash and rolled to the side. It lay on its back, panting. Its belly swelled up as though it was stuffed.

Zhou Wen was overjoyed as he hurriedly crawled over and hugged the calabash with his claws. Ignoring the saliva of the baby bear on the calabash, he opened his mouth and chewed.

Zhou Wen naturally couldn't bite through the stone calabash. He was only imitating the baby bear's actions.

After a while, the calabash shimmered with golden light as a pill spewed out.

Zhou Wen was overjoyed when he saw this. He hurriedly opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

When the pill entered his stomach, a strange force immediately spread out. It was an extremely strange feeling-he couldn't put his finger on whether it was hot or cold.

Chapter 1484 The Mysterious Laojun Platform

A cold yet hot force spread through his body. The feeling was indescribable as his body seemed to turn ethereal as though he was about to ascend to immortality. It became lighter and lighter. Zhou Wen felt that his body would be blown away by a mere breeze.

Of course, that was only what Zhou Wen felt. He naturally wasn't blown away.

Not only was he not blown away, but his body also became heavier—the bricks beneath him shattered.

Zhou Wen lowered his head to bite the calabash and got a few more pills out for eating, but as he lowered his head, his body gradually turned to stone.

Before Zhou Wen's mouth touched the calabash, his body was completely petrified, turning into a stone beast statue hugging the stone calabash.

Zhou Wen couldn't move, but he was still conscious. He felt as light as a feather, so he failed to react to the petrification.

Holy sh*t, what's going on? Zhou Wen was alarmed. He clearly felt ethereal and airy, as though a gust of wind could blow him away at any time, but he had petrified into an immobile rock.

What was even more terrifying was that he couldn't use any of his Essence Energy Arts, nor could he circulate his Essence Energy. It was as though he had really become a rock.

Could it be that the giant bear knew that this would happen, so it deliberately brought us here to eat the pills? If I were really its cub, I wouldn't have turned into a rock, so it can distinguish who its child is. Zhou Wen felt extremely ambivalent.

Seeing Zhou Wen turn into a stone statue, the giant bear lifted the baby bear onto its back before turning to head out the door. It walked down the stone steps as though it had verified Zhou Wen's thoughts.

As for the baby bear, it would occasionally turn its head to look at Zhou Wen. It even called out twice as though it wanted him to follow.

Zhou Wen couldn't move, so how could he follow? All he could do was watch helplessly as they descended Laojun Platform and vanished from Zhou Wen's senses.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to calm down and attempt to use all sorts of powers to escape the present predicament.

However, he couldn't use Essence Energy Arts or summon Companion Beasts. He couldn't even move his body, so there was nothing he could do.

Could it be that I'll become a stone statue just like that and be alone for millennia? Zhou Wen was depressed, but he didn't give up on survival. He only hoped for beneficial developments.

Time ticked by, but Zhou Wen failed to recover from his stone statue state.

Why was the baby bear fine after eating it, but I ended up turning into a rock? That baby bear doesn't look like a stone-elemental creature. In terms of immunity, with Truth Listener and the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder, I shouldn't be that weak… What kind of powers do the Golden Elixir Pills have? Zhou Wen kept thinking, hoping to find the crux of the problem.

However, even when the sky darkened and the moon rose, he still couldn't figure out what kind of power the Golden Elixir Pills possessed.

The cold moonlight shone on Laojun Platform, as though it had covered the originally mysterious Laojun Platform with a veil.

There was complete silence. Zhou Wen could still hear, but the range was limited to the vicinity of Laojun Platform. Furthermore, it was only normal hearing, not Truth Listener's ability.

He could see with his eyes, but all he could see was what was in front of him.

Sir is still waiting for me to return. I have to think of a way to quickly escape. Just as Zhou Wen was thinking, he suddenly heard something strange.

It sounded like someone was speaking, but it was indiscernible. It was like murmurs one heard in their reverie, but it was impossible to tell what was being said.

Zhou Wen wasn't sleeping, so he naturally wasn't daydreaming. He listened attentively. He could clearly hear the sound, and it wasn't so soft that it was indiscernible, but he couldn't hear what was being said clearly. Zhou Wen couldn't even be sure if the sound was human. Unfortunately, his body couldn't move, and the direction of the sound wasn't in his field of vision.

After listening for a while, Zhou Wen could tell that the sound was coming from the main hall.

With that giant bear around, ordinary people wouldn't dare come to Laojun Platform. Even if they dared, I wouldn't be unable to hear anything when they ascended Laojun Platform. Could it be that the sound comes from the main hall? With this in mind, Zhou Wen felt a sliver of hope.

He didn't know what was inside the hall, but he believed that it was most likely Taishang Laojun. If the sound really came from the main hall, it might be something profound.

However, no matter how Zhou Wen listened, he couldn't tell what the voice was saying. After a while, the voice gradually vanished.

In the morning, Zhou Wen saw a purple glow land in front of him. It was indescribably beautiful.

The purple light came from the east. Zhou Wen was on the west side of the main temple, and he couldn't see what was emitting the purple light either.

After a while, the purple light deviated and shone on him.

No, it should be said that it shone on the stone calabash. Zhou Wen was surprised to discover the stone calabash automatically emitting a golden glow as it sucked the purple gas into the calabash.

Zhou Wen's body was illuminated by the purple light by virtue of him hugging the calabash. He felt his body warm up. His mind, which had been in disarray the entire night, immediately felt refreshed as though he had just woken up. The purple light didn't last long. After a while, the angle of the purple light deviated, preventing it from reaching this spot. The stone calabash returned to its original state, and Zhou Wen wasn't illuminated by the purple light again. For the next two to three days, Zhou Wen failed to think of a way to escape. He would hear that strange whisper every night at midnight. And in the morning, he would see the purple light.

When the purple light shone on him, he vaguely felt that his body was showing signs of recovery. However, the time for the illumination was too short. Before he could be treated of the petrification, the purple light had already disappeared.

Although he knew that time was of the essence and that Yu Qiubai was definitely having a hard time holding on, there was nothing he could do. All he could do was patiently listen to the murmurs every night and try his best to absorb the purple light like the calabash.

However, this wasn't easy. It was clearly difficult to take the initiative to absorb the purple light without using an Essence Energy Art. Zhou Wen kept trying, but he failed.

Zhou Wen didn't see any traces of the giant bear or the baby bear again. Instead, the door that had been destroyed by the giant bear automatically returned to normal the next day.

Zhou Wen occasionally heard dimensional creatures wandering around Laojun Platform, but no dimensional creature dared to ascend it.

There weren't even any dimensional creatures that went up the stairs. At most, they would circle around the steps for a while before leaving

Chapter 1485 Someone's Here

In the morning, Zhou Wen was enjoying the purple light when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from below Laojun Platform.

Zhou Wen originally imagined that he had heard wrongly, but he immediately heard someone speak.

"Old man, are you sure it's here?" A lazy man's voice sounded.

Zhou Wen found the voice familiar and his expression immediately turned odd. This was because the voice sounded like Eldest Senior Brother Liu Yun.

No way? Why is Liu Yun here? Zhou Wen was puzzled. Although Liu Yun was his eldest senior brother, it was difficult to describe their relationship. After all, Liu Yun had often tried scamming Zhou Wen in the past, but he always suffered losses every time. Zhou Wen was only passively counterattacking in the beginning, but over time, he couldn't help but take the initiative to bully this eldest senior brother.

Their relationship couldn't be considered good, but it wasn't necessarily bad. No matter what Liu Yun thought, Zhou Wen had never thought of doing anything to Eldest Senior Brother Liu Yun. He had never even treated him as an enemy.

This feeling was very strange. He was clearly someone who wanted to scam him the moment they met, but he didn't think of him as an enemy.

"The place where Laojun ascended should be here. There's no mistake about it." An elderly voice sounded.

Zhou Wen was taken aback when he heard the voice. This was because he was familiar with the voice. It was likely Jing Daoxian.

Why is Liu Yun still with Jing Daoxian? Hasn't he suffered enough from colluding with him? Could it be that Jing Daoxian pulled some trick on Liu Yun, forcing him to obey his orders? Zhou Wen had always been puzzled as to why Liu Yun often ended up working with Jing Daoxian.

Later on, on careful thought, Liu Yun had been captured by Jing Daoxian in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. It was very likely that he had been tricked by Jing Daoxian and was coerced by him. "That might not be the case. Many places claim to have a relationship with Taishang Laojun. You said the same thing back in my hometown. What happened in the end?" Liu Yun mocked.

"This great immortal is the founder of Daoism. Everyone wants to rub off some blessings, causing the information to be messy. We need to slowly verify them. This Laojun Platform is indeed the place where Laojun ascended. As long as no one comes before us, that thing should still be here," Jing Daoxian said slowly. "Let's wait and see. I don't dare have such high hopes." Liu Yun still didn't seem to believe Jing Daoxian's judgment. As he spoke, he walked up the stairs, but he was stopped by Jing Daoxian.

"The 33 steps of Laojun Platform represent the 33 Heavens. Every step is a heaven. It's not something that can be easily ascended," Jing Daoxian said.

"There's nothing special about it." Liu Yun sized up the steps and felt that other than being a little taller, there was nothing special.

The more Zhou Wen listened, the more puzzled he became. He had been carried up here by the giant bear and didn't find the stairs impressive. However, Jing Daoxian's tone made it seem like even he didn't dare underestimate the 33 steps.

"Daoism emphasizes returning to the basics. The more inconspicuous a place is, the more careful you have to be. Otherwise, you having ten lives wouldn't be enough if I'm not by your side," Jing Daoxian said solemnly.

"I've been traveling alone for so many years. Ain't I still living well?" Liu Yun said disapprovingly. "You can give it a try if you don't believe me," Jing Daoxian said slowly.

"Sure." As Liu Yun spoke, he jumped up the stairs.

Zhou Wen suddenly couldn't hear him after Liu Yun landed on the steps. However, Liu Yun had clearly landed on the first step, so how did he suddenly vanish and go completely silent?

From the looks of it, those stairs are indeed as Jing Daoxian said. They possess unbelievable power. It's only because I was carried by the giant bear which broke through the stairs' restrictions that I didn't sense the existence of that power. As Zhou Wen was thinking, he suddenly heard a tragic cry.

Liu Yun, who seemed to have vanished, fell to the ground away from the steps with a tragic cry as though he had appeared out of thin air. "Of the 33 steps, you couldn't even last past the seventh step. Aren't you too weak?" Jing Daoxian mocked.

Liu Yun got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He said stubbornly, "To be able to reach the seventh step shows heavenly talent. A genius like me is already rare in this world. You probably won't find many in the human world capable of this feat."

"Which one of your junior brothers isn't stronger than you?" Jing Daoxian said airily.

"I'm just letting them have it easy. I don't want to bully the weak on account of us being fellow disciples," Liu Yun said as he cracked his neck.

"Luoyang's An Tianzuo, the Dugu family's Dugu Ge, the Zhang family's Zhang Chunqiu, and the Xia family's Xia Liuchuan, none of them should be inferior to you, right? There's also that punk from the Feng family in the south sea and the Ming family's kid that uses a sword. They aren't much weaker than you, right? Geniuses like you don't seem to be that rare." Jing Daoxian listed down several examples.

Liu Yun was immediately displeased. "How can Feng Qiuyan and Ming Xiu be my match? An Tianzuo can at most fight me to a draw. They can barely be considered on the same level. I'm not afraid of the others."

"When you mention a draw, is it like that time at Dragon Gate Grotto in Luoyang? He chased as you ran, but that he failed to catch up to you? That's right. As long as you aren't dead, it's a draw," Jing Daoxian said with a smile.

"How did you know?" Liu Yun was alarmed as he glared at Jing Daoxian.

"I know plenty." Jing Daoxian didn't answer him. He looked at the steps in front of him and said, "These 33 steps are the distance between heaven and earth. It's the process of advancing from a mortal to an immortal. If you can reach the 33rd step at the Epic stage with your own abilities, you can break through the limits of the Deva Realm and advance to the Mythical stage with your body. Unfortunately, no one in the world can do it."

After a pause, Jing Daoxian said, "Follow me. Let's head up now."

With that said, Jing Daoxian walked up the steps. Liu Yun followed closely behind him.

Soon, Zhou Wen couldn't hear their voices as though they had vanished into thin air.

When Zhou Wen heard their voices again, it was more than an hour later. Jing Daoxian and Liu Yun had already arrived at the door.

The door that had been smashed by the giant bear had returned to its original state. It was impossible to tell that it had been smashed before.

"This door can't be opened with brute force. If one tries to force their way in, they might be thrown out of Laojun Platform." Jing Daoxian looked at the door and slowly walked to it before knocking on it.

He knocked on the door with a strange rhythm. After knocking a few times, the door automatically opened.

"Didn't you say that the door is very difficult to open? Why did it open just by knocking?" Liu Yun naturally knew that something was amiss. He had said that to get Jing Daoxian to explain the oddity.

As Jing Daoxian walked into the yard, he said, "This is the Door of the Deva Realm. As long as one breaks through the limits of the Deva Realm, they will naturally be able to open it. Therefore, I can open it, but you can't."

Chapter 1486 Grandson

"What's there to be proud of?" Liu Yun muttered as he followed Jing Daoxian into the yard.

When they arrived in the yard, Jing Daoxian's expression changed when he saw the metal column that the giant bear had stabbed into the wall. "Someone was here before us."

With that said, Jing Daoxian walked to the wall and reached out to gently stroke the exposed parts of the metal column. At the same time, he carefully sized it up.

"It should be Teacher, right? It looks like you're one step too late," Liu Yun said gloatingly.

"Whose grandson are you?" Jing Daoxian glared at him.

"Who knows if you're bluffing me. How do I know that you're telling the truth?" Liu Yun curled his lips.

"If you weren't my only grandchild, I would have already slapped you to death," Jing Daoxian said coldly. Then, he released his hand that was caressing the metal column and took two steps back. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. It's not Wang Mingyuan. Wang Mingyuan wouldn't do something so senseless."

Zhou Wen was stunned. Eldest Senior Brother Liu Yun is actually Jing Daoxian's grandson? It's no wonder I had a nagging feeling that something was amiss-why is Liu Yun always with Jing Daoxian? That explains it! After his shock, Zhou Wen couldn't help but feel a burning desire for gossip. Liu Yun is sing Daoxian's grandson, so who's his grandmother? Didn't they say that Jing Daoxian didn't marry and have children?

"What's senseless?" Liu Yun asked.

"This metal column is called the Mountain-Driving Whip. It should have been something good, but unfortunately, this one is fake. The person who came before us realized that this metal column was fake and flew into a rage, smashing it into the wall. With Wang Mingyuan's personality, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing," Jing Daoxian said.

"That's true. If it's Teacher, he would put it back when he discovers that it's fake," said Liu Yun.

Jing Daoxian gave a strange smile. "That's also possible. However, if I were to guess, I believe he would take away this fake Mountain-Driving Whip."

"Why?" Liu Yun asked in puzzlement.

"Because I will do the same," Jing Daoxian said as he reached out to pull out the metal column.

It was difficult to stick the metal column in, but it was equally difficult to pull it out. Jing Daoxian pulled a few times, but the metal column seemed to be firmly stuck in the wall.

"Since it's fake, why waste time pulling it out?" Liu Yun asked again.

"You don't understand." Jing Daoxian summoned a Companion Beast. Zhou Wen could tell that it was a humanoid Companion Beast. Without Truth Listener's augmentation, he couldn't turn the sound he heard into an image. All he could do was make a general judgment. With the help of the humanoid Companion Beast, the metal column was slowly pulled out

Jing Daoxian used some unknown method to stroke the metal pillar, causing it to vanish.

"It's about time. If we don't get down to business, I'm afraid we will lose our lives here when that bear returns," said Liu Yun.

"That Luck Stone should be on the west side of the main hall. You can see it if you take a look," Jing Daoxian said. Liu Yun walked west and immediately saw the stone platform, calabash, and Zhou Wen. Now that Zhou Wen was in the form of a stone beast, Liu Yun naturally couldn't recognize him. He was even given a fright as he pointed at Zhou Wen and said, "That's strange. Didn't you say that the Luck Stone is with a treasure calabash? Why is there a stone beast there? Could it be that there's a Luck Beast that comes with it?"

"What Luck Beast?" Jing Daoxian frowned slightly as he walked to Liu Yun's side and was slightly taken aback when he saw the stone beast Zhou Wen had transformed into. "Strange. The Luck Stone is a stone roller used by Taishang Laojun to grind medicine. The treasure calabash is used to store pills, but I've never heard of any guardian beast. Even if there is one, it should be a child guarding the furnace. It shouldn't be such a strange stone beast…" As Jing Daoxian sized up Zhou Wen, he pondered and said, "Furthermore, this stone beast looks somewhat similar to that bear…" Zhou Wen thought to himself, I don't think Jing Daoxian has seen the baby bear before. The baby bear doesn't resemble the giant bear either. To be able to tell, Jing Daoxian's eyes are indeed a little sharp.

"Who cares? Anyway, what you want is the Luck Stone and the treasure calabash. Just take them away," Liu Yun said as he moved the stone calabash.

However, after exerting some strength, the calabash remained motionless. Liu Yun exerted so much strength that the veins on his forehead protruded.

"Don't waste your efforts. Although the treasure calabash isn't a purple-gold calabash, it's no ordinary item. It won't be easy to take it away. If we could use brute force to take it away, the people who came before us would have long done so without giving us a chance." Jing Daoxian paused before saying, "From the looks of it, we came at the right time. These are all genuine."

"Do you have a solution?" Liu Yun asked.

"These two treasures are used for alchemy. If you want to take them away, you naturally have to work from a pill angle," Jing Daoxian said as he took out something

It was a small bottle that was only the size of a palm. Jing Daoxian carefully opened the bottle and poured out a tiny pill before throwing it at the stone calabash.

The stone calabash that would only react in the morning suddenly shimmered with golden light as it sucked in the tiny pill.

Jing Daoxian threw the tiny bottle to Liu Yun. "Feed that calabash with a pill every ten minutes. In a few hours, you should be able to move the treasure calabash."

"Why don't you feed it yourself?" Liu Yun seemed to enjoy arguing with Jing Daoxian.

Jing Daoxian said indifferently, "If that bear returns, I'll have to think of a way to stop it outside. We have to be wary of the people from before in the event that they haven't left."

"Didn't you say that there aren't more than five creatures on Earth who can fight that bear? And none of them are human? Then how are you going to stop it?" Liu Yun was puzzled.

"Silly child, you sometimes have to use your brain. Something that can't be done with brute force might be easily done with some trivial means. In short, stay here and feed that treasure calabash. No matter what happens outside, don't come out," Jing Daoxian said as he walked out the door and closed it.

"Who knows if all these opinionated things you say are true." As Liu Yun muttered, he waited before throwing a pill at the calabash.

Strangely, every time he threw a pill and pushed the treasure calabash, he felt that it was a little lighter.

"Old man, are you outside?" Liu Yun was a person who couldn't sit idle. After waiting for a while, he felt bored and shouted outside.

No one answered him. Liu Yun asked a few times, but when Jing Daoxian didn't respond, he stopped shouting, probably because his voice couldn't be heard.

Liu Yun's eyes darted as he looked at Zhou Wen. As though he had thought of something fun, he got up and walked towards him.

Holy sh*t, what are you going to do? Zhou Wen immediately felt that things were going south, but he couldn't move or make a sound. He couldn't do anything but watch as Liu Yun walked to his side.

Chapter 1487 Liu Yun's Concerns

Liu Yun circled Zhou Wen a few times before standing in front of him. He stared at his face carefully and gradually frowned.

"Strange. It's clearly a stone statue. Why does it have a sense of familiarity while inducing some hate?" Liu Yun looked at the stone beast and muttered to himself.

This punk's spiritual perception is so sharp! Zhou Wen was given a fright, afraid that Liu Yun would notice.

He had scammed Liu Yun many times. If Liu Yun knew that he couldn't move after becoming a stone statue, who knew how he would take revenge on him.

"The more I look at it, the more I find it irritating." Liu Yun's eyes darted around as he walked in front of him and reached out to pull his pants.

No… No way… Zhou Wen was alarmed as he had the urge to turn around and escape. He guessed what Liu Yun was up to.

However, he couldn't escape at all. He couldn't even close his eyes.

Piss!

A clear fountain drenched the stone beast's front legs, giving Zhou Wen the urge to kick Liu Yun to death.

What was even more terrifying was that Liu Yun was constantly raising the angle of the fountain launcher, causing the liquid to spray even higher.

"How is it? Are you ashamed? You've never seen such a majestic treasure, right? An existence as talented as me is one in a billion among humans. It's your good fortune to be able to see my treasure. If you have the chance to be reincarnated in your next life, remember to grow like me. Don't be as irritating as you are now. However, you don't have to think about having such a huge asset like me. To have a third of it is something you will enjoy for the rest of your life…" Liu Yun boasted as he sprayed.

Why don't the heavens smite this fellow to death! Zhou Wen was extremely disgusted. It was fine if his body was defiled, but he had to endure Liu Yun's psychological attacks.

Zhou Wen used all his strength to escape the petrification's restraints, but it was useless. The Essence Energy and strength in his body didn't obey his orders as though they had also been petrified.

"Watch my Sea-Emerging Twin Dragons… Fountain to the Nine Heavens…" Liu Yun sprayed higher and higher until he was about to spray Zhou Wen's shoulder.

Die… Die… Die… Zhou Wen screamed inwardly as he struggled with all his might, but it was useless.

Bang!

Zhou Wen suddenly felt his body turn heavy. The ethereal feeling vanished as his body was dispelled of its petrified state.

After a plume of white smoke appeared, Zhou Wen returned to his original appearance from his petrified state.

This sudden development left Zhou Wen and Liu Yun stunned.

"Ah!" Two screams nearly overlapped as Zhou Wen quickly retreated. Liu Yun zipped up as he retreated, but in his panic, his flesh was caught in the zipper. "Holy sh*t… Holy sh*t…" Liu Yun's face turned livid from the pain as he held his crouch and jumped.

Zhou Wen quickly took off his shirt and threw it far away. One of his sleeves was wet.

"Are you f*cking sick? You turned into a stone statue to peep at me pee!?" Liu Yun composed himself and pointed at Zhou Wen as he stomped his feet.

"Pui! You're the f*cking sick one. You're a human, not a beast. Instead of using the bathroom, you came all the way here to Laojun Platform to relieve yourself? Aren't you afraid Lord Laojun will smite you?" Zhou Wen immediately retorted.

"It's my business where I want to relieve myself. Why? Are you feeling inferior because of my asset? It's fine. It's only right for the senior brother's to be bigger than the junior brother's… Besides, you are the youngest junior brother…" Liu Yun deliberately emphasized the word 'youngest.'

"Asset? You mean that bean sprout?" Zhou Wen curled his lips.

"F*ck you. You're just jealous. Can that bean sprout of yours…"

The two of them cursed each other for a while until they were out of cuss words. Both their mouths were dry.

Zhou Wen leaned against the wall and panted while Liu Yun took out a pill to feed the treasure calabash.

"I never expected you to be Jing Daoxian's grandson. It's no wonder you were so certain that Jing Daoxian wouldn't harm you," Zhou Wen said with an odd expression after taking a deep breath.

After Liu Yun finished feeding the treasure calabash, his expression turned odd when he heard Zhou Wen.

Looking at the door and seeing that it was tightly shut, Liu Yun lowered his voice and said, "Jing Daoxian is very certain that I'm his grandson. He treats me pretty well, but Teacher said that I'm not Jing Daoxian's grandson."

Zhou Wen was taken aback when he heard that. "How can a person like Jing Daoxian not know who his family is? But Teacher isn't someone who speaks nonsense…"

"That's why I don't know who to believe. Logically speaking, it's impossible for the old man… I mean Jing Daoxian to make a mistake, but Teacher's words have never been wrong." Liu Yun was also depressed.

"Didn't you ask your parents?" Zhou Wen asked.

"My parents are long dead. How am I to ask? Should I slit my throat and find them?" Liu Yun rolled his eyes at Zhou Wen.

"Then how can Jing Daoxian be sure that you are his grandson?" Zhou Wen frowned.

"How would I know? After we met him in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, he made the baffling statement that I was his grandson, but he didn't tell me the reason. I originally thought that he was deliberately taking advantage of me, but later, he gave me quite a number of benefits. His actions made it seem like it was true," Liu Yun said gloomily.

With that said, Liu Yun suddenly came to Zhou Wen's side and grabbed his collar. He stared at him and almost stuck to his face. He said with a heavy expression, "Let me ask you a question. You have to answer me honestly."

"Just shoot. Why are you grabbing me?" Zhou Wen asked.

Liu Yun didn't let go. He continued grabbing him and asked, "Why did you suddenly come here and become a stone beast? Did Teacher ask you to come?"

"No, I didn't plan on transforming into a stone beast. Here's what happened." Zhou Wen recounted what had happened.

After Liu Yun heard that, his expression softened a little. However, he still asked worriedly, "Was it really not Teacher who asked you to come?"

"No," Zhou Wen answered with certainty. Then, he looked at Liu Yun and asked, "Are you suspecting that Teacher is up to something?"

Liu Yun released Zhou Wen's collar and said with an odd expression, "It's not that I'm suspicious, but I find it terrifying. Don't you think that there's something wrong with Teacher?"

"Of course something's amiss. He has already become the Dragon King of the dimension," Zhou Wen said.

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about us disciples. I've been treated as a grandson by Jing Daoxian, and Hui Haifeng has become president. Little Ya is the president of the Holy Spirit Association. If I'm not wrong, that Immortal from the League of Guardians is very likely Jiang Yan. Together with you, all the disciples he took in don't seem simple. He took in those few disciples after all those years, but they all have achievements that ordinary people can't achieve. Don't you find it very unlikely? Apart from our teacher, have you seen anyone else with such abilities?" Liu Yun said with a strange expression.

Zhou Wen had actually had such a feeling before, but he didn't say it out loud like Liu Yun.

Chapter 1488 The Truth Behind the bet

"You suspect that it wasn't a coincidence that Teacher took us in as students?" Although Zhou Wen was somewhat suspicious, he still felt that it was unlikely. "Who knows? Anyway, I have a nagging feeling that there's something wrong." Liu Yun paused before saying, "Do you still remember the time the old man came to you?"

"The time he made the bet with Teacher?" Zhou Wen naturally remembered the matter.

Jing Daoxian had used an alias to get him to help him get on the Cube's rankings. Zhou Wen had even taken his Companion Beast, but he ultimately didn't help him get on the rankings.

Jing Daoxian acted oddly as well. He said that it was fine if Zhou Wen didn't help him get on the rankings, and Jing Daoxian really didn't cause trouble for him. He didn't even take back the Companion Beast he had given Zhou Wen.

"Yes." Liu Yun nodded and said, "Although my meeting with the old man was a coincidence, Teacher got to know the old man because of me. That resulted in the bet. I keep finding it a little odd."

"What's up with that bet?" Zhou Wen couldn't figure out why Jing Daoxian would bluntly tell him the contents of the bet. Jing Daoxian would definitely lose once Zhou Wen learned of the bet after all.

Zhou Wen had always felt that their bet wasn't as simple as Jing Daoxian had said.

"The content of the bet is actually very simple. Just as the old man told you, if you help him get on the rankings, he wins. If you don't help him, Teacher wins."

"Is it really that simple?" Zhou Wen still found it unbelievable.

Liu Yun inhaled before continuing, "The simplicity of the matter depends on how you view it. The final outcome of the bet is this, but there are some additional conditions. Teacher can't tell you anything about the bet. Only the old man can contact you."

Zhou Wen roughly understood something, but he still looked at Liu Yun and waited for him to explain.

"The old man clearly told you everything, but he's Jing Daoxian. Do you dare trust him?" Liu Yun asked.

"I wouldn't dare." Zhou Wen naturally didn't dare completely trust Jing Daoxian. In fact, he had previously suspected him.

"That's right. No one would believe the words of the number one devil in the Federation, Jing Daoxian. Therefore, the more he tells you the truth, the more you will suspect him. Furthermore, Teacher can't explain it to you in person, so the average person might think too much and help him get on the rankings," said Liu Yun with a smile. "The old man was betting that you wouldn't believe him, that you would have some doubts and end up approaching the matter wrong. Unfortunately, he lost the bet. He never expected you to be so determined and not give him a chance."

Zhou Wen smiled bitterly to himself. He wasn't that determined, but he had been plagued with problems back then that forced him to work on them. He didn't pay attention to the matter at all.

By the time he recalled this matter, Venus had already exploded. Naturally, the matter was left unsettled.

He never expected his inaction to help Wang Mingyuan defeat Jing Daoxian. This unexpected development was purely unintentional.

"What's their bet?" Zhou Wen asked again.

"I don't know. Only they know the bet. I don't know what they were betting on," Liu Yun said helplessly.

In this world, there weren't many secrets that Liu Yun couldn't eavesdrop on. There weren't many people who could stop him from eavesdropping either. However, this matter happened to involve the two people who could stop him, so Liu Yun really hadn't heard anything.

ed

Zhou Wen didn't know if Liu Yun was lying, but when he thought of Wang Mingyuan and Jing Daoxian's way of doing things, he felt that the possibility of Liu Yun knowing was slim.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to ask, "Why did you follow Jing Daoxian to Mount Laojun to take this calabash?"

"Didn't the old man tell you last time that he won't live long? He has to find a way to extend his lifespan. The simplest and most direct method is naturally to create the Elixir of Immortality. This calabash and millstone are, according to myth, treasures used by the Laojun for alchemy. They have magical powers. The old man wants to use them for alchemy." Liu Yun didn't hesitate as he explained Jing Daoxian's goal.

As the two of them were chatting, Zhou Wen suddenly heard a roar from below Laojun Platform. A ferocious beast was running towards them.

"Strange!" Zhou Wen circulated Truth Listener to scan the foot of the mountain and realized that the dimensional creature wasn't the giant bear.

It was a golden monster that looked between a cross of a tiger and lion but neither. It was covered in scales and had horns on its head.

From afar, it looked like the mythical Qilin, but upon closer inspection, it didn't look like it. He couldn't tell what kind of creature it

was.

Could it be that the terrifying creature that the survivors mentioned is this one? It's not the giant bear? Zhou Wen immediately realized that he had been wrong from the beginning

He instinctively believed that there was only one Calamity creature on Laojun Platform, but he never expected there to be another. As the saying went, two tigers couldn't share one mountain. This principle didn't seem to exist here.

The monster roared as it rushed up the steps of Laojun Platform before disappearing from Zhou Wen's senses as though it was invisible.

Rumble!

Before long, Zhou Wen sensed a terrifying power erupt on the seventh step. It caused the entire Laojun Platform to tremble violently.

Bang! Bang!

Eighth step… Ninth step… Tenth step…

Terrifying explosive forces were released with every step, causing Laojun Platform to constantly shake.

"I wonder if the old man can withstand it. I have to be quick." Liu Yun continued feeding the treasure calabash. Every time he fed one pill, he tried moving the treasure calabash. Although it still couldn't be lifted, it could already be moved. It looked like it wouldn't take long to lift it.

The terrifying sounds outside continued, but the higher the entity was on the stairs, the slower the pace of explosions.

Zhou Wen listened carefully for a while before saying in surprise, "Jing Daoxian seems to have used the power of the 33 steps to block that dimensional creature. Although that dimensional creature is very strong, it probably won't be able to rush up anytime

soon."

Roar!

To his surprise, Zhou Wen heard another roar after finishing his sentence. He saw the blue giant bear storm over and rush up the stairs.

There was a series of crackling sounds as the stone steps were breached. The giant bear charged forward crazily, and Zhou Wen could even see a smoke trail that resembled a dragon behind the giant bear.

"My good grandson, how's the treasure calabash feeding? I'm afraid I won't be able to last much longer," Jing Daoxian said as he pushed open the door and looked inside. "I'm about to be able to lift it. I reckon it can be done after another two or three pills," Liu Yun answered.

Chapter 1489 It's Too Late

"My good grandson, I can't last another half an hour. I'm afraid I won't be able to last that long. I'll give you another ten minutes. You have to take the item away no matter what." With that said, Jing Daoxian closed the door again.

"Do you think this is buying vegetables off the streets? You can't take it away as you wish. Is this something I can control?" Liu Yun was somewhat depressed, but there was no other way.

Laojun Platform kept shaking as the explosions outside approached. He also knew that Jing Daoxian wouldn't be able to last long.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Yun poured out the pills in the bottle. There were a total of eight pills. Jing Daoxian had instructed him to feed one every ten minutes, but now, he couldn't care less. He fed one every minute.

Although he knew that such actions might not be of any use and that his previous efforts would be in vain, he had no other choice now. He could only make a Hail Mary effort.

In any case, if he didn't risk it, he definitely wouldn't be able to lift the treasure calabash in ten minutes, much less the millstone below.

Liu Yun fed the treasure calabash while Zhou Wen paid attention to the situation outside. The explosions had already reached the 23rd step. Although its speed had slowed down, it only slowed a little.

His estimates were similar to Jing Daoxian's. It would take at most ten minutes for the two Calamity-grade creatures to rush over.

Zhou Wen didn't feel burdened. Regardless of whether Jing Daoxian and company succeeded or not, it had nothing to do with him. Zhou Wen no longer dared to eat the pills that spewed out of the calabash.

Il.

Liu Yun made attempts as he fed the calabash, but even though he fed it a lot more pills, the weight of the treasure calabash only continued to slowly become lighter. There weren't any changes.

Zhou Wen even felt that the treasure calabash's lightening was slowing down.

Liu Yun clearly realized the situation as he said gloomily, "From the looks of it, it's impossible for me to take the treasure calabash back today."

Indeed, after Liu Yun finished feeding the remaining eight pills, he still failed to lift the calabash.

On the steps outside, the terrifying sonic booms had already reached the 30th step. In a few more steps, the two Calamity-grade dimensional creatures would arrive.

"Eldest Senior Brother, if you still want to carry it, take your time. I'm leaving." Zhou Wen wanted to find a way to escape Laojun Platform.

However, instant transmission and spatial teleportation were useless. Unless one left through the door, any Essence Energy Art or power was useless.

"Junior Brother, don't waste your time. Laojun Platform is where Laojun ascended to the Immortal Realm. If you really force the use of spatial powers, it will be your good fortune if you can't teleport out. If you really ended up doing so, I'm afraid you will find yourself in the Immortal Realm," Liu Yun said as he attempted to move the calabash.

"Isn't it said that the Immortal Realm is a nice place? It's not bad to be able to teleport there," Zhou Wen answered.

"Junior Brother, are you really naive? Or are you really stupid? If that place is really that perfect, would you need to be taken there? I'm afraid everyone would be vying to enter," Liu Yun curled his lips.

Zhou Wen declined to comment. He knew that the Immortal Realm was most likely the dimension, but if it really came to a crisis, he couldn't care less.

Zhou Wen didn't know how powerful the Qilin-like dimensional creature was, but he had seen the terror of the giant bear with his own eyes. Even if Zhou Wen fought with all his might, he probably wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand with the Immortal Culling Sword.

"My good grandson, are you done?" Jing Daoxian pushed open the door again.

"I can't do a thing. It can't be moved," Liu Yun said helplessly.

"Stop the attempt. Follow me." Jing Daoxian also knew that it would be too late to say anything if the two dimensional creatures rushed over. Therefore, he would rather not have the calabash.

"Zhou Wen, let's go." Liu Yun looked at the calabash reluctantly and beckoned for Zhou Wen to leave.

"You guys leave first. I have my ways of leaving." Zhou Wen shook his head and rejected Liu Yun's offer.

Jing Daoxian definitely wanted to take the opportunity to rush down when the two dimensional creatures rushed forward and use the stone steps to shake them off.

However, Zhou Wen knew the giant bear's strength too well. This escape method might not work and it was too dangerous. He might as well think of a way out himself.

Furthermore, Zhou Wen had some ideas about the treasure calabash. After being fed so many pills, the treasure calabash had become much lighter. Just because Liu Yun couldn't lift it didn't mean that he couldn't.

If Liu Yun was still here, he didn't think it was right to snatch it in front of him. However, he couldn't be blamed if Liu Yun had already given up and left.

"Junior Brother, don't tell me you still have your sights on the treasure calabash?" Liu Yun clearly knew Zhou Wen too well and immediately saw through his thoughts. He curled his lips and continued, "I advise you to leave quickly. I don't want you dying before you can enjoy your spoils."

"You should mind your own business," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

"Cut the crap. Leave quickly. It will be too late if we delay any further. We have to rush down the moment the two of them rush forward." Jing Daoxian shouted again from outside. From his voice, one could tell that the situation wasn't optimistic. "Junior Brother, good luck to you." Liu Yun knew that he couldn't delay any further. He gritted his teeth and rushed out the door, approaching Jing Daoxian.

Seeing him leave, Zhou Wen turned around and instant transmitted to the calabash. He hugged the calabash with both hands, hoping to see if he could lift it up a little.

As long as he could lift it up by even a millimeter, he could put it into the chaos space and take it away. That was impossible if he couldn't lift it up at all.

When Zhou Wen hugged the calabash with both hands and exerted strength, he nearly fell to the ground.

He easily picked up the stone calabash which required no effort-it felt as light as a bubble.

Strange, how did it become so light? It's like a bubble? Could it be that Liu Yun was too unlucky and the pills he fed only took effect after he left? Zhou Wen guessed.

Zhou Wen quickly rejected this thought. The stone calabash's weight was only reducing slowly. It was impossible for it to become so light all of a sudden.

It's not that Liu Yun's luck is bad, nor is it a problem with the pills. Could it be because… Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he placed the stone calabash into the chaos space before reaching out to take the stone wheel below.

Legend had it that it was a millstone that Taishang Laojun had used to grind medicine. Humans called it the Luck Stone. In fact, the millstone might be even more precious than a calabash.

The treasure calabash was only used to store medicine, but the millstone could automatically grind the medicine. The two had very different functions.

Zhou Wen's fingers touched the millstone before he tugged at it. The millstone was easily lifted by Zhou Wen, about the same as when he picked up the treasure calabash.

What's going on? Zhou Wen was somewhat alarmed. He didn't know why he could obtain the treasure calabash and millstone so easily.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 1490 Golden Qilin

Zhou Wen clearly remembered that he had already made an attempt back when he was brought up here by the giant bear. He couldn't lift the calabash at all, much less the millstone below.

He originally wanted to see if he could pick up the calabash that had been fed numerous pills, but to his surprise, he easily picked up the millstone along with it.

Could it be because I ate that Golden Elixir Pill? After some thought, Zhou Wen realized that there was only one possibility. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the millstone and calabash to become lighter for no reason.

The Golden Elixir Pill turned Zhou Wen to stone. After a baffling recovery, he seemed to be able to lift the millstone and calabash.

Zhou Wen didn't have the time to think too much because the terrifying explosions outside were approaching the main entrance.

Thankfully, Liu Yun had closed the door when he left. Otherwise, the two terrifying dimensional creatures would have already rushed in.

Zhou Wen kept paying attention to the situation outside. At the instant the two Terror creatures charged forward, Jing Daoxian pulled Liu Yun and charged down the stairs. The timing was perfect.

The two terrifying creatures rushed to the door as the two of them rushed down.

The giant bear roared and turned to chase after them.

When Zhou Wen saw this scene, he knew that his previous worries were correct.

The giant bear's intelligence wasn't ordinary. Zhou Wen had previously turned into a stone statue thanks to his deceit. He didn't believe that it would watch them escape.

Just as Zhou Wen expected, the giant bear chased after them.

Unfortunately, the Golden Qilin-like dimensional creature didn't chase after them. It sized up the door of Laojun Platform and paced beside it a few times.

Zhou Wen thought to himself, This door is the door to Laojun Platform after all. That giant bear is an extremely terrifying existence. It's fine if it can smash through the door, but it's impossible for a random dimensional creature to smash through the door, right?

Boom!

Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over it, the Golden Qilin pounced forward and slammed the door with its sharp claws, causing it to rumble with a terrifying sound.

Golden light bloomed from the Golden Qilin's body. Its golden body was as crystalline as glass. It seemed to be augmented by some divine power as it struck the door again and again.

Zhou Wen was somewhat flustered in the beginning, but after a few strikes, he realized that although the Golden Qilin's power was an onslaught and Zhou Wen was far from its match, it couldn't crack the door like the giant bear.

The Golden Qilin struck crazily for a while, but it failed to damage the door at all. In the end, it had no choice but to stop.

Indeed, it's impossible for an existence like the giant bear to randomly appear. Zhou Wen heaved a sigh of relief.

He guessed that the Golden Qilin was very likely a Hell-level existence. Zhou Wen was indeed much weaker than it. If it rushed in, Zhou Wen would probably have a hard time fighting it. All he could do was think of a way to escape. Now that the Golden Qilin couldn't enter, Zhou Wen had more choices. It was best if he waited for it to leave before thinking of a way to leave Laojun Platform.

Zhou Wen was somewhat worried if he could successfully walk down the 33 steps.

Previously, the giant bear had brought him up here. It probably wouldn't be easy to go down

now.

Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over it, he suddenly realized that the Golden Qilin was acting abnormally again. It walked to the door and didn't strike it this time. Instead, it raised its front claw and tapped the door with a golden claw.

Oh no! Zhou Wen's expression changed drastically when he heard the Golden Qilin knock on the door.

The rhythm was identical to Jing Daoxian's knocking. It was clearly the way to open the door to Laojun Platform

.

Holy sh*t, this fellow actually knows how to use such a method to open the door. How high is its intelligence? Zhou Wen was alarmed as the door slowly opened.

The extremely ferocious face, that resembled a tiger and lion but was neither one, immediately appeared in Zhou Wen's eyes. He had heard it previously, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he found it somewhat different. The ferocious gaze and domineering aura made him feel like it stood at the top of a food chain.

It wasn't because it was beautiful, but because of its unparalleled power.

Zhou Wen held the Immortal Culling Sword as he wore the Prisoned Dragon armor. At the same time, he circulated the Calamity-grade Ancient Sovereign Sutra.

Although the Ancient Sovereign Sutra's Calamity Zone couldn't kill and could only heal living beings, the Calamity-grade Ancient Sovereign Sutra could greatly improve Zhou Wen's various qualities, making him comparable to a true Calamity-grade creature.

Zhou Wen had no intention of retreating as he stared down the Golden Qilin with his sword.

Laojun Platform was a small place, so there was definitely no place to hide. He could only lure the Golden Qilin in first. It would be best if he could kill it.

If he couldn't kill it, he would find an opportunity to rush down Laojun Platform.

After the Golden Qilin opened the door, it didn't immediately attack Zhou Wen. Instead, it slowly walked through the door and stared at him.

Zhou Wen imagined that it was about to launch an attack, but to his surprise, the fellow swung its tail and closed the door.

Zhou Wen's heart sank. This action proved that this fellow's intelligence was extremely high. Furthermore, it was extremely sinister and vicious.

The place became an independent space the moment the door was closed. Zhou Wen couldn't leave even with spatial instant transmission unless he opened the door first.

Although Zhou Wen had already memorized the method Jing Daoxian used to open the door, opening it required time. It wasn't an easy task to open the door in front of such a terrifying creature.

The Golden Qilin didn't immediately attack Zhou Wen after closing the door. Its body shook as golden light bloomed from its body. A golden glow instantly enveloped the entire

yard.

Zhou Wen gathered his strength to resist the golden light, but when the golden light touched Zhou Wen's Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation, it didn't cause any damage. However, the golden light was distorted by the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation, forming a golden halo around Zhou Wen. It failed to illuminate him.

Zhou Wen knew that the golden light was likely the domain of the Golden Qilin, but he didn't know what use it had. It didn't look like an offensive domain.

Zhou Wen felt even warier towards such kinds of domains.

He could tell what kind of power an offensive domain had at a glance, but he couldn't figure out the effects of such a domain. He might end up screwing up somehow.

The Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder and Truth Listener were already in place to prevent him from being affected by some unknown force.

The Golden Qilin walked over step by step amidst the golden light. Its eyes seemed to condense into something corporeal. It was ferocious and domineering. If it were anyone with a weaker mental fortitude, they would probably lose the battle of wits.

Under such circumstances, the Golden Qilin still didn't choose to lunge forward. Instead, it approached step by step, hoping to force Zhou Wen into a corner, preventing him from escaping

This fellow is really sinister and terrifying! This was the first time Zhou Wen had encountered such a dimensional creature. He knew that he couldn't retreat, or the situation would only worsen.

With a thought, Zhou Wen suddenly exerted strength with the hilt of his sword and pulled out the Immortal Culling Sword.

Chapter 1491 Battling the Golden Qilin

The terrifying sword aura that erupted from the Immortal Culling Sword couldn't be ignored even by the Golden Qilin.

The Golden Qilin's sharp claws welcomed the Immortal Culling Sword with a dazzling golden light. Its speed was so fast that it was a blur in Zhou Wen's vision. He almost couldn't tell the true trajectory of the claws.

Clang! The Immortal Culling Sword collided with the claw beam with the former's sword beam tearing apart. However, when the claw beam touched the Immortal Culling Sword's blade, it was severed. Even the Golden Qilin's blade-like nails were sliced apart by the Immortal Culling Sword's blade.

Zhou Wen immediately understood that his strength was much weaker than the Golden Qilin. The reason he could sever the claw beam's nails was because of the Immortal Culling Sword's sharpness.

With the Immortal Culling Sword in hand, Zhou Wen used the Heart Defying Sword Art. Coupled with the ability of The Disqualified, he slashed at the Golden Qilin, again and again, targeting each strike at its vital spots.

The Golden Qilin seemed to realize the sharpness of the Immortal Culling Sword and didn't clash with it head-on. Its figure moved like a phantom as it constantly moved around Zhou Wen, causing his attacks to miss.

Even though Zhou Wen used instant transmission, he couldn't keep up with the Golden Qilin's speed.

What puzzled Zhou Wen was that the Golden Qilin didn't seem to attack with all its might. It seemed to be waiting for something.

What's it waiting for? Zhou Wen was puzzled. He knew that he couldn't delay any further. He had to finish off the Golden Qilin as soon as possible or escape Laojun Platform.

The Immortal Culling Sword slashed apart the golden beams as it delivered a barrage of attacks at the Golden Qilin. An ancient mirror appeared the instant the Golden Qilin dodged, Zhou Wen having predicted its next location.

The rainbow beam in the ancient mirror shone out and landed on the location of the Golden Qilin.

On the left was the Numinous Treasure Hall, and on the right was a wall. Although the Golden Qilin was very fast, Zhou Wen had predicted its location. It had to either resist the Soul Mirror's Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light or the Immortal Culling Sword.

In its horror, the Golden Qilin twisted its body and jerked its body to duck the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light. However, the Immortal Culling Sword had already arrived above its head.

At the instant the Immortal Culling Sword slashed down, Zhou Wen felt a strong sense of unease.

Clang!

The Golden Qilin headbutted the Immortal Culling Sword, its golden horn colliding and sending it backward.

The Immortal Culling Sword failed to slice through its golden horn. Instead, Zhou Wen involuntarily retreated due to the powerful impact. The Immortal Culling Sword nearly flew out of his hand.

The Golden Qilin's eyes were ferocious as it shot out golden beams that struck Zhou Wen's chest.

Zhou Wen had already lost his balance from the powerful shockwaves. At that close distance, he was unable to control his body to quickly duck.

How sinister! Zhou Wen cursed inwardly.

The Golden Qilin clearly had a long-range attack, but it pretended to be a melee creature while fighting Zhou Wen. It could clearly block the Immortal Culling Sword, but it pretended that it couldn't fight him head-on.

This was the first time Zhou Wen had encountered such a wretched and sinister dimensional creature with such powerful strength.

Thankfully, Zhou Wen had already realized that something was amiss. As the Immortal Culling Sword slashed down, he used Spacetime Bandit and instant transmission.

Due to Spacetime Bandit, instant transmission only took effect now. Zhou Wen instant transmitted and when he arrived beside the God of Fortune Hall, the Golden Qilin's golden beam immediately missed and struck the wall of the Numinous Treasure Hall.

The golden light on the wall of the Numinous Treasure Hall exploded, producing a shockwave that sent the distant Zhou Wen retreating. If he was struck head-on, the outcome was obvious.

When the Golden Qilin saw its attack miss, it didn't conceal its strength any further. It unleashed its explosive speed as the golden beam in its eyes constantly swept at Zhou Wen.

Combining his movement techniques and instant transmission, Zhou Wen dodged the golden beam as he found an opportunity to approach it. He wanted to use the Immortal Culling Sword to kill it.

However, the golden horn on its head was abnormally hard. It blocked several of the Immortal Culling Sword's strikes. He only left some shallow marks on the golden horn, so it probably wouldn't be easy to sever it.

The man and beast fought crazily on Laojun Platform. The Soul Mirror occasionally shot out the Soul-Extinguishing Divine Light, but it was difficult to hit the Golden Qilin.

Before long, Zhou Wen sensed something amiss. He didn't know what effect the Golden Qilin's domain had, nor did he discover any effects the golden light had on him during the battle.

However, with the passage of time, Zhou Wen finally discovered the effects of the golden light. Furthermore, he realized that he was in danger.

Zhou Wen could clearly sense that the radiance was intensifying wherever the golden light shone, gradually condensing into something corporeal.

Moving in the golden light felt like he was moving in water. The resistance increasingly became immense. Zhou Wen suspected that he would be trapped in the golden light and unable to move to a certain extent.

Damn it! Zhou Wen knew that he was in big trouble.

This domain power was similar to a type of control or imprisonment, but this power didn't directly affect him. Instead, it filled the nearby space. Therefore, Evil Nullification and the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder were useless.

What should I do? Zhou Wen could already sense the pressure the golden light gave him.

Even if he used the Immortal Culling Sword to slash at the golden light, it was only like a blade slicing through water. He couldn't truly sever it. After the Immortal Culling Sword slashed at it, the golden light would return to normal.

Zhou Wen found it harder and harder to move. Finally, Zhou Wen failed to dodge in time. The golden light shot out from the Golden Qilin eyes struck his chest.

Bang!

At the instant Zhou Wen's chest was struck, the Soul Mirror appeared. The golden beam shot into the mirror and was reflected back, landing on the Golden Qilin itself.

The golden light sliced through its golden scales. The Golden Qilin roared in pain as blood gushed out from its wound.

Immortal Slaying! Zhou Wen knew that this was his last chance. It was very difficult for the same tricks to be effective on the Golden Qilin again. Whether he could escape alive after this strike was a question.

The Golden Qilin roared in pain as its neck was completely exposed in front of Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen instantly slashed at its neck with the Immortal Culling Sword.

Just as he was about to hit its neck, the Golden Qilin suddenly lowered its head and bit the Immortal Culling Sword. At the same time, it lowered its head and slammed into Zhou Wen's body with its golden horn.

Ding!

The ring on Zhou Wen's other hand flicked out and transformed into the Bamboo Blade. Zhou Wen drew his saber and stabbed forward, meeting the eye of the Golden Qilin that came falling right onto it.

Blood gushed out as the Bamboo Blade tore through its eye. The Golden Qilin shook its head crazily and sent Zhou Wen flying with the saber.

Bang!

Zhou Wen's body slammed into the wall of the main hall. The Prisoned Dragon armor on his body caved in, but the wall remained undamaged.

Roar! The Golden Qilin's eye bled as it stared at Zhou Wen with its other eye and roared angrily.

With its roar, the surrounding golden light instantly froze. It was like a golden jelly that trapped Zhou Wen.

Chapter 1492 Unimaginable Power

Zhou Wen felt as though his body had sunk into solidified concrete. It was impossible to budge an inch.

The Golden Qilin walked over step by step amidst the golden light. Its eye, which had been stabbed by Zhou Wen, remained bleeding. It bared its teeth with its mouth agape as though it wanted to eat Zhou Wen whole.

It's over! Zhou Wen wanted to use instant transmission, but the entire Laojun Platform was filled with the frozen radiance. There was no space for him to carry out instant transmission. All he could do was watch helplessly as the Golden Qilin gradually approached.

Even the Soul Mirror was frozen in midair. It could only emit divine light in one direction, but that meant that it was already useless.

Ding!

Just as Zhou Wen was feeling despair, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from his pocket.

Zhou Wen was first taken aback before he realized that it likely came from the mysterious phone. However, he didn't know why it was making such a strange sound.

However, Zhou Wen knew what happened next because the two Golden Wyrms that were giving birth returned to him.

Without any time to think, the Golden Qilin opened its mouth and bit down at Zhou Wen.

If it had managed to bite him, Zhou Wen's head would probably have said goodbye to his body.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen summoned the two Golden Wyrms and transformed them into shears.

At the instant the Golden Qilin's mouth bit down, the two Golden Wyrm Shears pierced through the frozen golden light and reached straight into its mouth. Then, they sliced down like a hot knife through butter.

Zhou Wen saw blood spew out of the Golden Qilin's mouth as golden blood splattered all over his face.

Zhou Wen could sense that the pair of Golden Wyrm Shears were crazily wrecking the Golden Qilin's stomach, grinding its organs into a mess.

Haha, the heavens are really helping me to have the Golden Wyrms appear at this moment! Zhou Wen knew that he had to thank his good luck.

Any later and Zhou Wen would have died. If the Golden Wyrms had appeared earlier, they might not have had the chance to rush into the Golden Qilin's stomach.

Although the Golden Wyrms were also at the Calamity grade and were sharp enough, they were only at the Human Realm. If they hadn't entered the Golden Qilin's stomach by chance, they might not have been able to severely injure it.

The pair of Golden Wyrm Shears twisted crazily in the Golden Qilin's stomach. It cried out tragically as it rolled on the ground, blood spewing out from its mouth like a fountain.

The Golden Qilin attempted to lunge at Zhou Wen a few times amidst its struggling, but it ultimately collapsed due to the excruciating pain.

Kill it… Kill it… Zhou Wen was still trapped in the frozen golden light and couldn't move. All he could do was secretly cheer the two Golden Wyrms on.

Just as the Golden Qilin was about to die, Zhou Wen suddenly felt a dangerous aura.

The Golden Qilin's entire body emitted a golden glow as its body turned into a golden crystal. One could clearly see the pair of Golden Wyrm shears that were entangled inside.

That didn't matter. What mattered was that the Golden Qilin's ferocious face was filled with determination. Its transparent body resembled a golden crystal and had a strange energy surge as though it would explode at any moment.

It's self-destructing! Zhou Wen was alarmed. He wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The solidified golden light bloomed with the Golden Qilin, emitting extremely terrifying energy. It was about to self-destruct with the Golden Qilin.

The terrifying energy fluctuations were enough to make Zhou Wen realize that even the Prisoned Dragon armor's Absolute Defense couldn't withstand the might of the self-destruction.

The might produced by the self-destruction of a Hell-level creature far exceeded the limits of Zhou Wen's tolerance.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen summoned the Chaos Egg.

Splat!

A huge palm descended from the sky, instantly shattering the frozen golden light like glass as the fragments fell to the ground.

Zhou Wen's body fell as well. He watched helplessly as the huge palm struck down at the Golden Qilin that was about to self-destruct.

With a thought from Zhou Wen, the Golden Wyrms instantly returned to Zhou Wen before he heard a clap. The Golden Qilin that had gathered terrifying power was slapped to the ground. Its body was pressed down by the huge palm as though it had been flattened. Pfft!

Zhou Wen heard a sound similar to firecrackers coming from beneath the palm. After the crisp sound, there was silence.

Zhou Wen looked in the direction of the furry palm and saw the giant bear's head extend in from the periphery wall. Its two front paws were already inside the wall, and the back half of its body was still outside.

As for the baby bear, it was lying on the giant bear's shoulder.

The giant bear raised the flattened Golden Qilin's claw. The tiles beneath the claw had shattered as though something had exploded. The Golden Qilin's body had already vanished, leaving only a golden horn in the rubble.

Zhou Wen was horrified. How terrifying was the Golden Qilin? It was very likely a Hell-level existence, but the power of its self-destruction was suppressed by the giant bear's claw. It was unimaginable what kind of power it had.

Zhou Wen couldn't even defeat the Golden Qilin. Now that he was targeted by the giant bear, he naturally didn't feel any joy from escaping death.

Boom!

The giant bear climbed over the wall and walked in. Only then did Zhou Wen realize that the giant bear didn't need to enter through the door. It could directly climb over the wall.

It wasn't as simple as flipping over a wall. If it was really just a wall, Zhou Wen could fly over it no matter how high it was.

However, Laojun Platform's yard was an independent space. It was also protected by Laojun Platform's rules. To be able to gain forceful entry not only required the ability to tear through space, but also the ability to clash head-on with Laojun Platform's rules.

Zhou Wen was temporarily unable to estimate how much of this terrifying power was needed.

He watched the giant bear flip into the yard. Although he knew that it was useless, he subconsciously retreated. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't think of a way to save his life at the giant bear's paws.

After the giant bear entered the yard, its body became much smaller. It wasn't as huge as before.

The baby bear got off its back and ran towards Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen wasn't alarmed but delighted. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Can I use this baby bear as a hostage? But do bears know what a hostage is? Will it be threatened?

The baby bear reached Zhou Wen amid his dilemma. It circled him a few times as though it was taking in his scent.

After circling a few times, the baby bear seemed to confirm something as it pounced on Zhou Wen and licked his face. It looked extremely affectionate.

Does this fellow still recognize me? Zhou Wen's expression changed. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Chapter 1493 Appearance of the Daytime Stars

The baby bear pounced at Zhou Wen who didn't dare move. He spread open his arms, afraid to touch the baby bear.

Zhou Wen was afraid that if he reached out to touch the baby bear, the giant bear would mistake him for trying to harm the baby bear. The outcome would definitely be tragic.

The baby bear seemed oblivious. It snuggled up to Zhou Wen as though it wanted to play with him.

Zhou Wen looked at the giant bear, unsure if he should move.

The giant bear moved its claw and swatted the horn on the ground, throwing it to Zhou Wen's side.

"What's the meaning of this? Is it for me?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. It felt like it, but he found it unbelievable.

The giant bear definitely knew about his transformation into the baby bear. It was already considered benevolent that it hadn't smacked him to death. Zhou Wen didn't find it likely that it would give him something left behind by the Golden Qilin.

The giant bear glanced at him and stood up. Zhou Wen jumped in fright and had the urge to turn around and escape, but he couldn't escape Laojun Platform at all.

After the giant bear stood up, it moved its gaze away from Zhou Wen and looked up into the sky as though it was looking at the cosmos.

However, it was daytime. The sun was out, so what stars were there to speak of?

The giant bear kept looking up. Zhou Wen couldn't help but look up. What he saw made his jaw drop.

Stars appeared one after another in the sky with the scorching sun. The light from the stars was equally visible during the day. Furthermore, they became brighter and brighter.

What's going on? Zhou Wen looked at the stars in the sky before looking at the giant bear.

Without a doubt, the stars that appeared were definitely related to the giant bear. This was because Zhou Wen had already seen starlight land on it.

Starlight from the clear, blue sky shone on the giant bear like searchlights. Even an idiot knew that this matter was definitely related to the giant bear.

In fact, it wasn't just Zhou Wen. Many people in the Federation saw the star-filled sky that day, but they didn't know the reason for it.

All the major factions were paying attention to this strange phenomenon. The media likewise reported about it.

Although Zhou Wen didn't know what was happening outside, he could imagine that with such a strange phenomenon happening, the Federation would definitely be in chaos.

However, Zhou Wen didn't know that this was only the beginning. The chaos outside far exceeded his imagination.

This was because the Cubes that were scattered across the world lit up at the same time.

After the Venusian battle, the Cubes had been dormant. Now that they were activated again, the scene on the Cubes was none other than the daytime stars.

The Cube has started up again. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse? Zhang Chunqiu sighed softly. Too many things had happened recently for him. He felt like he was treading on thin ice as he led the Zhang family through the complex situation, afraid that he would steer the Zhang family into a bottomless abyss if he wasn't careful.

Is it starting again? Which planet's Companion Beast is it this time? Xia Liuchuan looked eager.

Ever since Xia Jiuhuang died, the Xia family had kept a low profile and secretly developed, constantly strengthening themselves. Now, they had already recovered quite a bit, but to return to the Xia family's peak needed more resources and hard work. The battle of the Cube was undoubtedly the fastest way to obtain top-notch resources.

"Strange, why are there so many stars shining? Which planet's Companion Beast is next?" Dugu Ge muttered to himself as he watched the scene.

In fact, it wasn't just Dugu Ge. Everyone watching the Cube found it strange. This was because only Venus had appeared on the Cube during the last Venusian battle.

There were more than ten stars in this daytime phenomenon. These scenes were projected on the Cube, leaving people to guess what was happening.

Even Holy God in the Holy Land frowned as he looked at the stars in the sky.

Zhou Wen watched as the starlight on the giant bear's body intensified, as though it was about to ascend with the starlight. He couldn't help but feel alarmed. What's going on? Could it be that the giant bear isn't a dimensional creature from Earth, but from the Universe? That's not right either. Earth has its own rules of self-protection. Ignoring the creatures in the Universe, even the creatures on Earth are greatly restricted. For example, Tsukuyomi has no choice but to leave Earth. This giant bear's level should be higher than Tsukuyomi's. If it isn't a creature from Earth, how can it not be restricted when it's here?

Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. If the giant bear was an Earthling, why was it able to trigger the stars in the universe? Furthermore, it wasn't just one. Many stars seemed to be responding to it.

As Zhou Wen was pondering over it, the baby bear seemed to realize something as it pounced over to throw itself into the giant bear's arms.

However, the starlight isolated it outside like an invisible barrier, preventing it from approaching the giant bear.

The giant bear looked at the baby bear with a gentle gaze that had some emotions Zhou Wen couldn't understand.

"Wu… Wu…" The baby bear cried out as it wanted to rush into the starlight. Its claws scratched at the starlight but to no avail.

The giant bear didn't stop the baby bear or do anything. It only looked at it lovingly.

As the starlight intensified, the giant bear's body gradually floated up thanks to the starlight's attraction.

The giant bear is about to be forced to leave Earth? Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised.

If the giant bear left just like that, he would be completely out of danger. However, on second thought, he felt that something was amiss.

If the giant bear left Earth, why didn't it take the baby bear with it? With its powerful strength, it shouldn't be difficult to leave with the baby bear.

The giant bear wasn't surprised at all that the baby bear was blocked outside the starlight. Clearly, it was within the giant bear's expectations.

The giant bear's body rose higher and higher. The baby bear jumped and scratched anxiously, wanting to approach the giant bear, but it was blocked by the starlight. It couldn't get an inch closer.

The giant bear had already risen above Laojun Platform. It suddenly retracted its gaze and looked at Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen's heart subconsciously raced as it stared at him. Although its gaze wasn't ferocious, it made him feel an inexplicable pressure.

"Wu… Wu…" The baby bear jumped up and slammed into the starlight, but it was stopped by Laojun Platform's power. After falling, it fell to the ground.

The giant bear's body had already exceeded the range of Laojun Platform. Its speed of ascension became faster and faster.

Before Zhou Wen could figure out why the giant bear was looking at him, the giant bear's figure had already risen into the sky like a meteor. In a blink of an eye, it vanished into space.

The shiny stars also gradually dimmed as the giant bear ascended into the universe. The phenomenon of the daytime stars also vanished. Only the baby bear continued to whimper at the sky.

Although the phenomenon of the daytime stars vanished, the Cubes didn't stop. The scene inside them was changing.

Chapter 1494 Reopening of the Cube

Finally, the Cube's scene froze on a strange planet that emitted a strange glow. It was entirely orange-red, and there seemed to be a dazzling rainbow swirling inside.

Due to the intense light, one couldn't see what was inside.

The Cube's screen froze on this scene. It didn't change or close.

Everyone discussed spiritedly. Some factions even began studying the planet that appeared on the Cube's screen.

Zhou Wen looked up into the sky and couldn't see the giant bear at all. The sky was blue.

The baby bear's eyes were brimming with tears as it constantly cried towards the sky. Seeing Zhou Wen look at it, the baby bear pounced over and burrowed its head into Zhou Wen's arms as it hugged him and wailed.

What's going on? Zhou Wen was still in a daze.

From the looks of it, the giant bear meant for him to adopt the baby bear.

However, Zhou Wen didn't understand why the giant bear believed that he would adopt the baby bear and not kill it.

Since the giant bear had already left Earth, it was unlikely it would return. Even if he killed the baby bear, the giant bear couldn't do anything to him.

However, Zhou Wen really couldn't bring himself to kill it when he saw the crying baby bear.

Could it be that the giant bear's intelligence has already reached such a stage that it can tell that I won't attack the baby bear? Zhou Wen patted the baby bear's head. He still felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint it.

Thankfully, the baby bear was easy to coax. It stopped crying after a while.

"I have to leave. Are you coming with me?" Zhou Wen asked the baby bear.

The baby bear looked at him in puzzlement. Clearly, it didn't understand what Zhou Wen was saying

Zhou Wen gestured and talked for some time, but he failed to make the baby bear understand him. However, when Zhou Wen walked out, the baby bear followed him.

This fellow is so stupid. If I leave it here alone, it probably won't survive. Forget it. I'll take it back. Zhou Wen put away the golden horn and left Laojun Platform with the baby bear.

When he stepped onto the 33rd step, Zhou Wen immediately felt that it was different from before. With a single step, the world changed as though he had stepped into a void. He felt his body rapidly plummet towards an unknown destination.

Strangely, the baby bear didn't fall into the void with Zhou Wen. He didn't even see its shadow.

With a thought, Zhou Wen circulated the Dao Sutra and engraved the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder.

In the next second, Zhou Wen realized that he was still standing on the steps. There was no void, nor was he falling. The baby bear was beside him.

Zhou Wen walked down with the baby bear. With the Heaven-Opening Scripture of the Highest Elder, the 33 steps had nothing against him. The baby bear didn't seem to be restricted by the Dao steps as it followed Zhou Wen and kept leaning its head towards him.

After leaving Laojun Platform, Zhou Wen circled Mingdao Palace. There were many dimensional creatures here, but they didn't attack humans. Clearly, they were affected by Mingdao Palace's nomological forces. They weren't as fearless as the Golden Qilin and the giant bear.

With the giant bear gone and the Golden Qilin dead, I can consider using this place to build a human city. However, killing inside Laojun Platform is prohibited. Food in the future will be a problem. Furthermore, any creature can enter and exit Laojun Platform as they please. If another creature like the giant bear appears, it will be a huge problem. Zhou Wen thought it through and felt that Laojun Platform could be used as a temporary refuge.

However, permanently using it to build a human city for residence didn't seem like a good choice.

Furthermore, Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that his Dao Sutra might be able to rely on Laojun Platform to advance to the Calamity grade. When that happened, wouldn't the human city built here be very dangerous if Laojun Platform was destroyed?

However, Zhou Wen didn't find anything on Laojun Platform that could advance the Dao Sutra to the Calamity grade. All he could do was return to take a check on the situation.

The baby bear followed Zhou Wen closely. It would panic if it lost sight of him. It looked like the giant bear's departure had left a huge psychological trauma on it.

"There's no need to be afraid. You will have many friends soon." Zhou Wen stroked the baby bear's head and returned to Guide City with it.

Guide City's situation wasn't bad. In the past few days when Zhou Wen was at Laojun Platform, there had been a few large-scale attacks by the skeleton legions.

Yu Qiubai was originally very worried, but to his surprise, with Chick spitting out a mouthful of flames, the skeleton legion was like dried pieces of wood. The flames spread across a large area.

The skeleton legion was nothing in front of Chick. It left Yu Qiubai pleasantly surprised.

Thanks to Chick showcasing its prowess, those who were still hesitant quickly gathered towards the school. Many people even signed an agreement and were willing to become a part of the new city.

"Zhou Wen, this bird of yours is amazing. People outside treat it as a divine bird and say that it's the legendary Mystic Bird." Yu Qiubai excitedly recounted how Chick had unleashed its might and how much it had been worshiped.

Zhou Wen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. It was true that the Mystic Bird was the Shang dynasty's divine bird, but it was supposed to be a black bird.

Chick was a phoenix, and its body was already pale golden. It didn't look like a Mystic Bird no matter how one looked at it.

However, Chick was very pleased with itself. As Yu Qiubai recounted its heroic deeds, it raised its chin to the sky as though it was invincible.

"What's this?" Only then did Yu Qiubai see the baby bear behind Zhou Wen.

The baby bear was actually very timid. It had been hiding behind Zhou Wen the entire time. Occasionally, it would extend half its head to peek at Yu Qiubai and Chick.

The reason Yu Qiubai asked was that the baby bear didn't look like a bear. Its body was different from that of the giant bear, and it was closer to a four-foot beast that resembled a lion or tiger.

"This is a pet I adopted. It's rather feral and isn't as obedient as Chick. Don't approach it," Zhou Wen exhorted Yu Qiubai.

Yu Qiubai nodded and asked, "How's the situation at Laojun Platform?"

"That dimensional creature has been resolved, but I don't think Laojun Platform is suitable for building a human city. Although it's temporarily safe there, we can't kill in there. This means that we need to obtain food from the outside world. Furthermore, any creature in Mingdao Palace can enter freely. This is very disadvantageous for us," Zhou Wen said.

Yu Qiubai sighed and said, "I also know that it's not a suitable place, but there are so many people counting on us. They need a stable home."

"With Chick guarding this place, there shouldn't be any problems for the time being. We still have time. Let's think about it again and see if there are any suitable dimensional zones." Zhou Wen still felt that he shouldn't choose Laojun Platform and Mingdao Palace just for a moment of peace.

"Let me think about it again." Yu Qiubai paused before suddenly saying, "By the way, do you know about the Cube's reopening?"

"Is there a Cube here?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised.

Chapter 1495 Discovery Under the Cube

There were many places where the Cube appeared. Most of them were places where large numbers of humans gathered. There were also some ancient cities or dimensional zones that might have the Cubes appear.

Zhou Wen didn't find it surprising that Guide Ancient City had a Cube, but with the city's continuous outflow of population, it surprised him that the Cube would appear outside a dimensional zone. "We also found it odd in the past. I've also read reports about the Cube. The Cubes in other cities appear in the center of cities where humans gather. However, even back then, Guide City's Cube was located in the suburbs. There weren't many people there, nor were there any dimensional zones. There's no one there now. I wonder why the Cube appeared there," Yu Qiubai said.

"Where is it?" Zhou Wen felt that the location of the Cube definitely wasn't for no reason. Perhaps there was something there that hadn't been discovered.

Yu Qiubai took out a map and gave Zhou Wen directions.

It wasn't far from Ancient City. It used to be the suburbs of Guide City, a place where crops were planted.

It was once a place where lots of wheat was planted, but it had long been abandoned. There were weeds everywhere, almost as tall as a person.

This place didn't have any dimensional zones. It looked like a barren land.

A huge Cube stood in the middle of the weeds. From afar, one could see the lit Cube's screen. On it was the shimmering orange-red planet.

This should be a star, right? Zhou Wen looked at it for a while and was roughly certain that it was a star that resembled the sun, not a planet like Earth.

Stars emitted a large amount of light and heat. It was almost impossible for creatures to survive on it.

The sun had a surface temperature that could reach 5,500C. Its interior temperature was higher beyond imagination. Even a Calamity-grade creature couldn't withstand the high temperature inside.

If the dimensional zone is on that planet, the dimensional zone this time will probably be much more difficult than Venus. Zhou Wen was roughly certain that it wasn't the sun, so he heaved a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't a planet in the Solar System, the impact on Earth would be much smaller.

The scene on the Cube didn't move, nor was there anything interesting to watch. Zhou Wen circled the Cube and used Truth Listener to scan the nearby area, hoping to figure out what was different about it.

Strange, there aren't any special Essence Energy fluctuations here, nor are there any dimensional zones. However, this isn't a place where humans gather. Why would the Cube be here? Zhou Wen plucked some weeds and carefully observed them.

Although the weeds here had mutated due to the environment, they didn't exceed the normal range of mutation. They hadn't evolved into dimensional creatures.

Such mutations were everywhere in the world. There was nothing special about them.

There must be a reason for the Cube's appearance here. Unfortunately, the Earth Elemental Beast has already been killed by Perfect Sword Immortal. Otherwise, I might discover something if I let the Earth Elemental Beast venture deep underground. Zhou Wen was somewhat depressed as he summoned Tyrant Behemoth who was also good at digging.

After Tyrant Behemoth came out, it followed Zhou Wen's order and lowered its head to burrow into the ground. The strange horn on its head spun like a drill, drilling a huge hole through the weeds.

Tyrant Behemoth failed to discover any underground dimensional zones despite burrowing a few hundred meters. Just as Zhou Wen was feeling disappointed, he saw the baby bear run to a grass patch near the Cube. It crouched down and dug something with its front paws.

Zhou Wen walked over curiously and saw the baby bear's front paws quickly dig open a huge hole. "What's that?" Zhou Wen realized that the baby bear had really dug out something.

He still couldn't tell what it was. It looked yellowish-brown with some fine patterns on it. It wasn't gold, jade, or stone.

The baby bear's actions became very gentle. It used its paws to remove the soil on it, allowing the thing to gradually appear. Eh… This is… a hive… Zhou Wen finally saw what it was.

It was a hive resembling a lotus with a diameter of more than fifty centimeters. The baby bear tore open the hive with its paws, and honey flowed out.

The baby bear licked the honey and sucked quite a bit. It even gestured for Zhou Wen to eat the honey with it.

Zhou Wen dabbed a little with his finger and tasted it. It was really sweet honey.

Strange, this hive should be on a tree. The hive of the Scoliidae isn't like that. Why would this hive appear underground? Zhou Wen called Tyrant Behemoth over and got it to continue digging in the pit dug by the baby

bear.

The baby bear made another discovery after a short dig. However, this time, it wasn't a hive, but some rotting bronze tools.

As most of them had already rotted, from the remnant parts, they were likely something similar to a tripod cauldron.

Tyrant Behemoth damaged many bronze tools while digging due to its potent strength, making it even more difficult for Zhou Wen to identify them. Therefore, Zhou Wen decided not to let it dig any further and dug with his hands.

Soon, Zhou Wen dug out some gray pottery and some jade-like decorations. Although Zhou Wen didn't know what the decorations were for, he could tell from the jade's texture that they were very inferior jade. These things look like antiques, but antiques aren't of much value to this era. Zhou Wen's understanding of history was limited. He didn't know what era these things came from, so he guessed that they were likely from the Shang dynasty.

Zhou Wen continued digging and dug out some strange items. Most of them were gray pottery and bronze. Although there were other things, most of them had rotted due to the passage of time.

As he dug, Zhou Wen's eyes suddenly lit up. Beneath his fingers, a hard object appeared. It looked like jade, but upon careful inspection, he realized that it was actually bone.

What creature do these bones belong to? Zhou Wen slowly wiped the soil from the bones. Soon, he realized that the bones were connected. They didn't look like ordinary bones. Bones would scatter after the flesh rotted.

The bones beneath were connected, but the flesh was long gone. For some reason, the bones hadn't split apart. They had remained firmly stuck together.

When Zhou Wen dug out the entire skeleton, he realized that it was the skeleton of a giant bird. Furthermore, it was complete without any missing bones.

Chapter 1496 Giant Bird Skeleton

The skeleton was almost fossilized. Some spots still maintained a bony luster like crystalline jade, but some places were already as dim as fossils. There were also many potholes.

From the skeleton, the bird was probably four to five meters tall when upright. There had never been such a huge bird in history.

Which era had such a huge bird? Zhou Wen suspected that it was the legendary Mystic Bird.

After all, no one had seen such a huge bird. It was normal to treat such a huge bird as a divine bird.

Unfortunately, there were only bird bones left. There were no feathers, so it was unknown if its feathers were black.

He didn't discover any Essence Energy fluctuations from the bird bones. It was like an ordinary skeleton. Zhou Wen placed it to the side and continued digging.

He dug out some gray pottery shards and even discovered some stone tools. They were stone tools that resembled sabers and axes. They were very crude.

If he saw these stone tools by the side of the road, Zhou Wen would definitely think that they were just ordinary but strangely-shaped rocks.

Zhou Wen had dug up all the places nearby. Apart from the damaged relics, only the bird bones were interesting.

He was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't found a dimensional zone or a mysterious item.

Turning his head, Zhou Wen wanted to tidy up the derelict items he had dug out and store them in the chaos space. Although they were useless to him, they were likely irreplaceable treasures to historians.

Zhou Wen planned on putting them away. After Earth truly became peaceful in the future, these things might become priceless treasures.

Eh! Zhou Wen came in front of the pile of junk and couldn't help but frown after taking a look.

He had dug out quite a number of things and piled them up like a small hill. However, Zhou Wen could clearly sense that the pile of junk was much smaller than before.

In order to confirm that he hadn't remembered wrongly, Zhou Wen went through the derelict items one by one and placed them elsewhere.

There's indeed a significant decrease. The bronze artifact that looks like a radish is gone. Many gray pottery items and tools are also gone. As many of the tools were strange in shape, Zhou Wen didn't know what they were, so he had a deep impression of them. He couldn't find them no matter how hard he tried.

Looking around, he didn't find any traces of dimensional creatures or humans.

Zhou Wen used Great Brahma to observe the particles in the air, but he didn't discover any particles left behind by other lifeforms on them.

What the hell? Did those things grow legs and run? Zhou Wen combed through the pile again, hoping to confirm that he hadn't remembered wrongly.

He realized that there were even fewer things than before after a second count. The few things he had just held were gone.

What the hell! Zhou Wen looked around warily, imagining that a terrifying existence had sneaked over.

However, after waiting for quite some time, he didn't discover anything. Truth Listener didn't find any traces.

If that thing can really prevent me from sensing it at such a close distance while secretly removing the items, plucking out my head wouldn't be a problem. There's no need to go through so much trouble. Zhou Wen thought carefully and felt that something was amiss. He decided to count again.

Something was missing again this time. Zhou Wen couldn't work out how so many things were going missing under his nose.

He summoned his Companion Beasts and got them to guard his surroundings while he paid close attention to the pile of junk.

The baby bear had been licking the honey the entire time. Having just finished its meal, it crawled back to Zhou Wen's side and looked curiously at the derelict items on the ground.

After waiting for a while, nothing happened. Even the Soul Mirror and the two Golden Wyrms didn't react.

Zhou Wen kept staring at the pile of junk, but he didn't discover anything missing

Zhou Wen didn't discover any stirrings or anything missing after some time. He counted the derelict items again, but he realized that a few more items were missing.

Holy sh*t, what the hell? How did this decrease? Zhou Wen was dumbfounded as he searched the ground, but he still didn't find anything

With a thought, he summoned a large group of Musical Note Sprites. Under Zhou Wen's orders, the Musical Note Sprites attached themselves to the derelict items.

Every bronze artifact, every gray pottery, and even the fragments had a Musical Note Sprite attached to them. Zhou Wen had to figure out how those things had vanished.

Zhou Wen widened his eyes as he stared intently at the pile of items. At the same time, he used his connection with the Musical Notes to monitor all the junk.

Suddenly, Zhou Wen felt one of the Musical Note Sprites vanish. Before he could carefully see what the vanished Musical Note Sprites was attached to, a few more lost contact with him. He couldn't sense them no matter what.

Zhou Wen hurriedly ordered the remaining Musical Note Sprites to fly up with the items they were attached to before trying to search for the few Musical Note Sprites he had lost contact with.

He didn't find the missing Musical Note Sprites, but he realized that everything else was flying together with the rest of the Musical Note Sprites. Only the skeleton of the giant bird remained on the ground.

Could it be that the missing item has something to do with it? Zhou Wen carefully sized up the skeleton and realized that the Musical Note Sprite that had been attached to it had vanished.

The disappearance of the Musical Note Sprites wasn't a problem, but the few Musical Note Sprites that were attached to the items had gone missing at the same time. Only the Musical Note Sprite attached to this skeleton was gone, but the skeleton remained.

Zhou Wen summoned another Musical Note Sprite and got it to attach itself to the giant bird's skeleton. Then, Zhou Wen kept staring at it.

After a while, something strange happened. The Musical Note Sprite on the giant bird's skeleton vanished into thin air. It happened without warning, nor were there any spatial fluctuations.

How did this happen? Zhou Wen widened his eyes in disbelief.

On a careful recall, he realized that the things that had gone missing previously were beside the giant bird's skeleton.

Zhou Wen placed a few pieces of bronze and gray pottery on the giant bird's bones. After a while, the fragments magically vanished.

Zhou Wen watched helplessly as they vanished, but he still didn't know what kind of power made them vanish. It was as though they had vanished into thin air.

There seems to be something wrong with this giant bird's skeleton! Zhou Wen carefully sized up the giant bird's skeleton, but he still didn't discover anything different about it. However, after what had happened, Zhou Wen naturally didn't believe that it was just an ordinary bird's skeleton.

Chapter 1497 Star Chart

Zhou Wen experimented a few more times and was certain that anything that came into contact with the giant bird's skeleton would vanish into thin air.

Strangely, Zhou Wen didn't sense any spatial fluctuations.

Zhou Wen could understand if it was a spatial teleportation power, but it was somewhat strange that the items vanished without any spatial fluctuations.

Now, Zhou Wen still didn't know where the missing items had gone.

If they had disintegrated, there should have been remnants, but Zhou Wen didn't even see the remaining particles after the disintegration.

If it was teleportation, Zhou Wen wasn't sure what had happened to the Companion Beasts after they vanished due to the loss in connection. He naturally didn't know where they had been teleported to.

Unable to figure it out, Zhou Wen had no choice but to bury the giant bird skeleton again.

He didn't dare place it into the chaos space. It would be a huge loss if he lost the Chaos Bead.

Strangely enough, anything that touched the giant bird skeleton would vanish, but the soil here didn't.

Zhou Wen got some soil from elsewhere and placed it on the giant bird's skeleton. After a while, it vanished.

This place is indeed not ordinary. Zhou Wen dug some nearby areas and discovered many gray pottery and bronze items, but they were only ordinary antiques and weren't of much value.

The various factions were studying the celestial bodies that had recently appeared on the Cube. Some factions had already attempted to send people over, but they only sent suicide warriors or death row convicts.

They wanted to figure out what kind of dimensional zone existed on the celestial body.

Strangely, after the various factions made their attempts, they realized that the Cube could be activated, but they couldn't teleport people over.

This happened until someone dripped the blood of four people on the Cube. Amidst the Cube's brilliance, the four of them vanished together.

However, the Cube's screen only shook for a moment before returning to normal. It was as though nothing had happened. It was unknown if the four of them were still alive.

Before long, many factions discovered this phenomenon. Only four people could activate the Cube together—no more, no less.

However, the people who were teleported were considered to die an instant death. There was no news from them. The Cube's screen only shook for a moment before it fell silent.

"The temperature on that celestial body is too high. Ordinary humans can't withstand it. It's useless even if we teleport over." A Censor briefed Wei Ge in the bureau.

The Censors had done the most experiments. A large number of prisoners had already died.

Wei Ge didn't look up as he continued reading the information in his hand. It was a star chart, but it wasn't a modern star chart. It was a star chart used in ancient times to distinguish celestial bodies.

"End the experiments. Don't touch the Cube for the time being," Wei Ge said to the Censor as he looked at the star chart.

"Yes, Director-General," the Censor answered. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Director-General, everyone is looking to us for more information. The League of Guardians is pressing us the most. How do we reply?"

Wei Ge placed the star chart in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of the Censor. He said indifferently, "Make a few copies of this star chart. If anyone comes to ask for more information, give them this start chart once they pay the price."

"Will that work?" The Censor picked up the star chart and looked at Wei Ge in puzzlement.

Although this star chart was an ancient copy, it wasn't too rare. It wouldn't be difficult to obtain it.

"Go." Wei Ge didn't explain and got him to do the job.

After the Censor left, Wei Ge held his chin with his hand and thought for a moment. As though he had thought of something interesting, he picked up his phone and edited a picture of the star chart he had taken. He clicked on a friend and sent it.

Zhou Wen was studying the giant bird skeleton when he suddenly heard his phone ring. He took it out and realized that it was a message from Wei Ge.

What's the meaning of this? Zhou Wen opened the message and took a look. He realized that it was a very crude star chart. The stars labeled on it weren't as detailed as modern-day star charts. Furthermore, there weren't any labels for the stars' names.

However, on the star chart, a star was circled in red.

Zhou Wen held the star chart and compared it to his Singularity Universe, but he failed to tell which area of the cosmos these stars belonged to.

As Zhou Wen's Singularity Universe was very detailed, and this star chart had too many missing stars, it was difficult to make a comparison.

"Is this star the celestial body on the Cube's screen?" Zhou Wen sent a message to Wei Ge.

"Yes," Wei Ge replied succinctly. "What's the name of this celestial body?" Zhou Wen had no choice but to continue sending messages. "Think about it yourself." Wei Ge was even more straightforward this time.

"Isn't it simpler if you tell me?" Zhou Wen said gloomily.

"I like seeing your thirst for knowledge without getting it. How about this? Beg me and I'll show some kindness and tell you." After Wei Ge sent the message, the corners of his mouth curled up smugly.

Zhou Wen closed the chat window the moment he read Wei Ge's message.

"What a joke. I have so many teachers here. I don't believe they can't recognize a single star chart." Zhou Wen took the star chart to Yu Qiubai.

After Yu Qiubai took a look at the star chart, he glanced at Zhou Wen and said, "Little Wen, while cultivating, you still have to take some time to gain some cultural knowledge. This star chart is a division of the Arctic Sky in ancient times. The star that's circled in red is the first star of the Big Dipper. It's called Dubhe and also known as the Ravenous Wolf."

This is the Big Dipper? Zhou Wen looked at the star chart again and realized that with Dubhe as the starting point, it indeed connected to six other stars in the shape of a ladle. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Actually, it's not your fault. The star charts that were drawn by the ancients naturally aren't as detailed as they are now. However, a celestial body as obvious as the Big Dipper should be recognized." Yu Qiubai asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly interested in the star chart?"

The celestial body on the Cube is very likely Dubhe. Zhou Wen checked the information on the Big Dipper on the Internet and suddenly discovered something very magical.

The Big Dipper was the brightest celestial body at the North Pole. This was the way the sky was divided in the East District during ancient times. And according to the division of the West District, the Big Dipper belonged to the Ursa Major constellation.

Zhou Wen couldn't help but recall the giant bear that had ascended to the cosmos from Laojun Platform. He thought to himself, Could that giant bear be related to this dimensional zone?

However, the constellations were from the West, while the giant bear was a dimensional creature from the East. Furthermore, it had ascended from Laojun Platform, so it just felt somewhat odd.

Chapter 1498 Dubhe

Zhou Wen wasn't the only one who knew of this news, but to most people, it didn't seem to matter whether the celestial body on the Cube was Dubhe or not.

"Charlatan, the rumors floating about point to that celestial body being Dubhe of the Big Dipper. What do you think?" Xia Liuchuan immediately called Zhang Chunqiu. The Zhang family was better at these things.

Zhang Chunqiu said, "That's Dubhe of the Big Dipper all right. However, I advise you not to have any ideas about it."

"Why?" Xia Liuchuan asked in puzzlement.

"You should know that Dubhe is also called the Ravenous Wolf Star, right?" Zhang Chunqiu said.

"I do. Although I'm not as good at astronomical observation as you are, I've heard of Starlord Ravenous Wolf. Isn't it synonymous with the Wisdom Star and the Auspicious Star?" Xia Liuchuan said.

"That's because you don't know much about Ravenous Wolf or what it entails. Dubhe is indeed auspicious, but under certain circumstances, the Ravenous Wolf is a very ominous sign. It's best not to touch it before things are clear," Zhang Chunqiu said solemnly. "For real?" Xia Liuchuan still didn't believe it.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." Zhang Chunqiu didn't say anything else and hung up.

"I didn't say that I doubt you. Why get so worked up?" Xia Liuchuan muttered and put down the phone.

Many people asked Zhang Chunqiu about it, but Zhang Chunqiu only said some ambiguous words to the average person. He only persuaded a few people not to touch Dubhe.

"We have to retrieve the Companion Beast of Dubhe no matter what." Berserker Immortal's figure appeared in the unfinished Skysplit Tower as he ordered Immortal and the Guardians.

"Your Excellency, we will definitely do our best to fight for it, but you should know that with the rise of the heroes on Earth, our League of Guardians hasn't been able to gain an absolute advantage. Together with the uncertain variables like cosmic creatures, it's really unknown if we can obtain Dubhe's Companion Beast," Immortal said with a bow.

"I only care about the results," Berserker Immortal said coldly.

"I also hope for a good outcome," Immortal said neither obsequiously nor superciliously.

Berserker Immortal's gaze was like a sword as he stared at Immortal, as though he wanted to split his body apart. However, Immortal only stood there with his eyes lowered as though he hadn't seen anything.

"Whoever can retrieve Dubhe's Companion Beast can become the representative of our Immortals in the mortal world. I will personally bestow him as the strongest Guardian of the Immortals," said Berserker Immortal.

The Immortals had always respected the strong. Berserker Immortal believed that it was the same for humans. He wanted to use this to incite an internal division among the League of Guardians.

However, Blood Shaman and the other Guardians didn't seem to hear him as they continued to stand by Immortal's side.

A cold glint flashed in Berserker Immortal's eyes, but he suppressed his killing intent. Just as Wang Mingyuan had said, the situation on Earth was already relatively clear. Even if the Immortals began nurturing new factions now, it wouldn't be of any use anytime soon.

If he wanted to maintain his competitiveness on Earth, he had to continue using the League of Guardians. There weren't many other options.

The six families had always been vassals of the Holy Land. Although the six families wanted to escape the Holy Land's control, it wasn't necessarily possible for them to completely escape it. Secondly, even if they could really escape, it might be a result of jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

There was also the federal government, the Holy Spirit Association, and the various warlords. Under Hui Haifeng's leadership, the federal government had been developing the strength of humans, so it was even more impossible for them to be used by the Immortals.

The Holy Spirit Association directly devoured Guardians. If the Immortals worked with them, they would probably only be feeding them. It would be difficult to truly control them.

As for the warlords from the various lands, if there was a chance, Berserker Immortal didn't mind giving them some benefits and getting them under the Immortal's employ. However, there weren't many warlords who could truly achieve the level of the six families. Gaining control of them couldn't be done anytime soon.

At this stage, Berserker Immortal could only get the League of Guardians to continue working for the Immortals.

However, Berserker Immortal had already made up his mind to establish a faction that completely obeyed the Immortals as soon as possible and kick the League of Guardians out.

"Don't worry. My race will definitely help you when needed. Skysplit Tower has to be repaired as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if my race wants to help you, we won't be able to deliver the items to you." Although Berserker Immortal said that, he thought to himself, All I need is a portion of Skysplit Tower repaired and I can use it to enter Earth and reestablish a human faction that belongs to the Immortals. Once I succeed, I'll kill that bastard Wang Mingyuan first.

"Skysplit Tower has been attacked twice in a row. Many materials are nowhere to be found. It's very difficult to repair it. Your Excellency, I wonder if you have a way to repair it?" Immortal kicked the ball back to Berserker Immortal's court.

Although Berserker Immortal wanted to kill Immortal with one strike, he couldn't do so. All he could do was say, "There's naturally a way. Previously, my race placed Guardian cocoons in many mystic realms. Now, those mystic realms have already transformed into dimensional zones. I'll send you the information regarding the Guardian cocoons. After you find them, use the Guardian inside to help you and you can naturally easily occupy those dimensional zones and obtain the resources inside."

"We will definitely do our best to serve you, Your Excellency." Immortal bowed with the Guardians.

Zhou Wen hadn't figured out what was going on with the land and the giant bird's skeleton, but he didn't dare take the risk to experiment. All he could do was ignore it for the time being.

At that moment, Zhou Wen was studying his Companion Beasts.

After the two Golden Wyrms gave birth, another Golden Wyrm appeared. However, this Golden Wyrm seemed a little different from its parents.

Golden Wyrm: Calamity (Evolvable)

Life Providence: Metal Life

Life Soul: Gold Essence

Wheel of Destiny: Love is Stronger than Gold. Terror Form: Stator (S-grade)

Calamity Zone: True Gold Fire Refinement (Human Realm)

Strength: 100

Speed: 100

Constitution: 100

Essence Energy: 100

Talent Skill: Midas Touch, Strangle, Unstoppable, Dominance Body

Companion Form: Stator

Zhou Wen didn't know what a Stator Companion Form was. He made the Golden Wyrm appear in its companion form and realized that its body had turned into a coiled dragon pillar.

It was clearly a pillar, but for some reason, it was called a stator.

With the experience from the Son of Heaven's Three Swords, Zhou Wen tried putting the three Golden Wyrms into the fusion frame. Indeed, he could fuse them. Furthermore, the success rate was 99.9%. There was almost no chance of failure.

Should I fuse them? Zhou Wen was somewhat hesitant. After all, these were three Calamity-grade creatures. If he fused them, even if a Hell-grade creature appeared, it would only be a Companion Beast. It didn't seem worth it.

Chapter 1499 Good Luck Comes

The stats and skills are about the same. If I can't deal with an opponent with a single Golden Wyrm, having two more Golden Wyrms shouldn't be of much use. Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before pressing the fusion button.

A golden light flashed as the three Golden Wyrms emitted a shocking glow. Finally, the entire screen was occupied by the golden light.

When the light gradually dissipated, the three Golden Wyrms vanished, leaving only a golden pair of scissors on the screen.

Two Golden Wyrms became shears, while a single Golden Wyrm was a stator. Together, they fused into Golden Wyrm Scissors.

Golden Wyrm Scissors: Calamity (Evolvable)

Life Providence: Metal Life

Life Soul: Gold Essence Wheel of Destiny: Love is Stronger than Gold.

Terror Form: Golden Wyrm Scissors (S-grade)

Calamity Zone: True Gold Fire Refinement (Hell)

Strength: 200 Speed: 200

Constitution: 200

Essence Energy: 200

Talent Skill: Midas Touch, Strangle, Unstoppable, Dominance Body, Clean Break

Companion Form: Golden Wyrm Scissors

Zhou Wen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the stats of the Golden Wyrm Scissors. Although it was a three-for-one exchange, the stats of the Golden Wyrm Scissors were definitely greater than the three Golden Wyrms.

Ignoring everything else, the Human Realm Golden Wyrm only had 100 for its stats, but the Hell-level Golden Wyrm Scissors' stats doubled.

Its abilities didn't seem to have changed much, but with the addition of Cleaned Break, it looked very powerful.

Who should I test it on? Zhou Wen looked at his phone dungeon and realized that the Venusian instance dungeon had respawned an hour ago. He could try it out.

Crack! Crack!

The moment the Golden Wyrm Scissors appeared, all the Metal Guards and Golden Battle Gods were sliced into two with one strike. No one could withstand its might.

However, the Golden Wyrm Scissors had a weakness. It could only snip one creature at a time-it didn't have any AOE attacks.

Zhou Wen used the Soul Mirror to make the Calamity gunner appear. With a golden flash, the Calamity gunner, whose speed couldn't be considered slow, was split into two before he could react.

Ding!

A Companion Egg dropped with a crisp sound. Zhou Wen was immediately overjoyed as he controlled the blood-colored avatar to fly over and pick it up.

Zhou Wen had been eyeing the Calamity gunner's Companion Egg for a long time. Its long-range offensive strength was truly impressive, especially the seventh shot. Without a countermeasure, one couldn't escape the sure-kill shot.

Nothing can really stop you when luck befalls you. Zhou Wen excitedly checked the Calamity gunner Companion Egg's stats.

Golden Sniper: Calamity (Evolvable)

Life Providence: Sharpshooter

Life Soul: Firearms God

Wheel of Destiny: Sure-kill Seventh Strike (S-grade)

Calamity Zone: Bullet Zone (Human Realm)

Strength: 168

Speed: 179

Constitution: 107

Essence Energy: 178

Talent Skill: Infinite Bullets, Metal Escape, Ultra Rapid Fire, Ultra Long-Distance Fire, Life-Extinguishing Bullets.

Companion Form: Sniper Rifle

Haha, it's indeed a sniper rifle! Zhou Wen was overjoyed. He had indeed been eyeing it for a long time.

Compared to melee weapons, Zhou Wen preferred to shoot from afar. He only fought in melee combat when he had no choice. If he could kill the enemy from afar, why would he have to rush out and risk his life?

Without any hesitation, Zhou Wen hatched Golden Sniper. This kind of Companion Beast that didn't require growth from the beginning had stats reaching a certain level. There was no need for him to waste crystals to raise its stats. It was very useful to Zhou Wen.

Apart from the lacking Constitution, the other stats of the Golden Sniper were pretty good. It was already considered pretty good at the Human Realm.

A massive amount of Essence Energy was absorbed by the Companion Egg. Soon, the Companion Egg transformed into golden streams of light that landed in Zhou Wen's palm, forming the symbol of a golden sniper rifle.

After flashing for a while, the golden sniper rifle symbol slowly vanished.

Zhou Wen extended his hand and a golden sniper rifle appeared in his hand.

However, the sniper rifle was a little bigger than Zhou Wen imagined. It looked like a Barret M82A1 sniper rifle but even bigger. It wasn't impossible to fire it using one hand, but it was a little uncomfortable.

With Zhou Wen's inhuman physique, he could still shoot from the hip, but it looked like shooting with a mount would be more reliable.

Zhou Wen switched dungeons and entered Chess Mountain. He mounted the sniper rifle in the cave and aimed it at a fake immortal on Deer Terrace Pavilion.

After aiming slightly, Zhou Wen squeezed the trigger.

Bang!

A fake immortal's head exploded as she returned to her original fox spirit body and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Zhou Wen shot one after another, blasting apart the heads of the fake immortals. With the butt of the gun pressed against his shoulder, Zhou Wen's shoulder involuntarily trembled as he fired.

He watched as the fake immortals spun about and huddled together, but they couldn't find the enemy. All they could do was have their heads explode one after another. This thrill was indescribable.

Great stuff… This thing's shooting range is awesome… It's much further than the range of ordinary sniper rifles on Earth. It's impossible for ordinary creatures to discover where the bullet came from. The more Zhou Wen looked at it, the more he liked it. It was like the best assassination weapon.

In the future, if Zhou Wen wanted to cause trouble for the League of Guardians, he didn't need to approach the headquarters of the League of Guardians. A bullet from fifty kilometers away could send the Guardians to the afterlife. With the bullets traveling at the speed of light, fifty kilometers was nothing.

However, on second thought, the League of Guardians was Jiang Yan's. It wasn't appropriate for him to kill another Guardian.

I should find an opportunity to make a trip to the Holy Land. I'll stand guard outside the Holy Land. I'll headshot every Saint that comes out. Let's see who else dares to work for the Holy Land. With this in mind, Zhou Wen wished he could grow wings and fly to the Holy Land.

Of course, that was just a thought on his part. It was clearly impossible for him to raid the Holy Land with just a sniper rifle.

Now, I have the golden sniper rifle for long-range combat and the Golden Wyrm Scissors for close combat. With the Soul Mirror's help, as long as I don't encounter a Heaven-level dimensional creature, I should be able to put up a fight. Zhou Wen searched his dungeon again and realized that Yang City had already respawned.

He entered Yang City and released the Golden Wyrm Scissors. Every Blood Shadow that appeared was severed. The sniper was even more merciless. It was one shot, one kill, as simple as shooting balloons at a street fair.

After the Kui came out, the Golden Wyrm Scissors flew up and snapped it into two. Even the Kui's powerful defense couldn't withstand a single snip. The Golden Wyrm Scissors were so sharp that it chilled one's heart.

Too powerful! Zhou Wen realized that he had too many weapons, but his defense now couldn't keep up.

Kui only dropped one Essence Energy Crystal. Zhou Wen didn't have any room to raise his Essence Energy stat for the time being, so he fed it to the Soul Mirror which had a relatively low attribute.

Zhou Wen was just about to find a few more places to test the might of the Golden Wyrm Scissors and sniper rifle when he suddenly received a message: "Are you interested in cooperating?"

Chapter 1500 A Guest Arrives

"Cooperate in what?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement when he saw that it was Jiang Yan.

"Don't you know? Four people are needed to enter Dubhe; no more, no less." Jiang Yan said.

"Don't tell me you are really that suicidal? Everything on Dubhe is an unknown, wouldn't entering be courting death?" Zhou Wen didn't believe that now was a good time to enter Dubhe.

If he rashly entered without knowing the situation inside, even a Calamity-grade creature might not be able to come out alive.

"Of course not now. I just want you to be mentally prepared. I'll inform you when the opportunity comes," Jiang Yan said. "I really have to think about it," Zhou Wen answered.

"Nothing to ask?" Jiang Yan sent another message.

"You'll tell me what you can and won't tell me what you can't." Zhou Wen replied calmly.

"There are many things that we haven't confirmed. There's no point in saying anything. However, this might be a chance to reverse the passive situation." Jiang Yan replied.

"What passive situation?" Zhou Wen didn't understand what Jiang Yan meant.

"Think about it yourself." Jiang Yan replied after sending a message. Zhou Wen held his phone and carefully read Jiang Yan's message again. He found the sentence interesting. It had a myriad of possibilities that ranged from something trivial to something major.

If it's something that's most important… Zhou Wen thought carefully and found it unlikely.

Zhou Wen pondered for a moment before an idea came to him. He wanted to visit Dubhe.

Of course, he couldn't do so using the Cube. Other humans might find it difficult to reach Dubhe, but Zhou Wen wasn't one of them. Singularity Universe's interstellar teleportation ability would easily allow him to reach Dubhe.

With his defenses, he could reach the vicinity of Dubhe without entering it. The high temperature of Dubhe shouldn't be able to injure him.

Zhou Wen mainly wanted to see if there was a tiny palm symbol in Dubhe's dimensional zone. This was the most important thing to him.

However, space was just too dangerous. Who knew if there were terrifying cosmic creatures waiting for an opportunity near Dubhe.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and decided to take Chick with him. The Dubhe was hot, a perfect stage for Chick.

However, without Chick, it would be too dangerous for Guide City if the skeleton legion appeared again. Typical Companion Beasts couldn't be too far from their owners. The Dubhe was too far away. It was impossible for him to leave a Companion Beast to watch over the base.

This is troublesome. The baby bear looks silly and I don't know how strong it is. I definitely can't let it watch over the base. Unfortunately, the antelope didn't come to Guide City. Otherwise, I would be at ease with it in school. After some thought, Zhou Wen couldn't think of a good idea. He was afraid that something would happen to Guide City while he was away.

"Old Zhou, what's going on? Why didn't you invite me over when there was such a fun place?" Just as Zhou Wen was considering the matter, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Before long, Li Xuan kicked open the yard door and swaggered in.

"Can't you wait for me to open the door?" Zhou Wen said gloomily, but he realized that Li Xuan hadn't come alone. There was someone behind him.

"Qin Zhen? Why are you together?" Zhou Wen saw that the person who had followed Li Xuan was the famous Female Sword Immortal, Qin Zhen.

"Don't misunderstand. We were heading in the same direction. She's here for you," Li Xuan said with a cheeky smile.

"Senior, I heard that you are establishing a human city in Guide City. Is the school still lacking teachers?" Qin Zhen asked Zhou Wen.

"Yes, of course. However, the remuneration we provide here can't compare to Sunset College's. As you can see, there's no answer to when the school will return to normal," Zhou Wen said.

"I just need a place to stay," Qin Zhen said seriously.

"What are you considering? Hurry up and arrange a place for her to stay," Li Xuan said.

"Alright. As long as you are willing to stay, I won't treat you unfairly in the future." Zhou Wen was in need of help. A sword expert like Qin Zhen had been a tutor at Sunset College to begin with. It was a rare opportunity.

Qin Zhen didn't say anything else and only nodded.

"I'll find you a place to stay." Just as Zhou Wen was about to settle them in elsewhere, he heard a voice coming from outside the yard.

"Zhou Wen, if you don't mind, count the two of us in." Two more people walked in following the man's voice.

"Tian Xiangdong, Fang Ruoxi, why are you here?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but be surprised when he saw his two former classmates.

Just like Zhou Wen, they had been admitted into Sunset College. However, Zhou Wen didn't graduate. The two of them had left Luoyang after graduation. As they hadn't contacted each other, Zhou Wen didn't know where they had gone after graduation.

However, having not seen them in Guide City, Zhou Wen imagined that they had moved to another city.

"What are you talking about? This is our hometown. When our hometown is in trouble, we naturally have to come back to support it." Tian Xiangdong chuckled. "Actually, I'm working in the Federation's political commentary department now. The higher-ups want me to be their informant and report any information gathered."

Fang Ruoxi also said bluntly, "My situation is about the same. If there's anything that's not too important, leave it to me. I will do what I can for my hometown."

The two of them made themselves clear and handed the choice to Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen smiled and said, "It's naturally best to have free labor. Come with me. I'll find a place for you to stay."

Zhou Wen wasn't afraid that the other factions would send spies. It was pointless fearing that. Even if it wasn't Fang Ruoxi and Tian Xiangdong, there would be other spies.

Instead of wasting time guessing who the spy was, it was better to keep Fang Ruoxi and Tian Xiangdong. Regardless of whether they were doing it on account of sentiment or not, they were still very good workers. They were all elites who had graduated from Sunset College and were in the government departments.

The school didn't have plenty of room left, but Zhou Wen still managed to arrange a single room for them. Although it was a room changed from a school office, it was the best he could offer under the present conditions.

Qin Zhen didn't mind at all. She tidied up the room and put down her luggage before going over to Zhou Wen and asking, "Senior, what can I do?"

"No rush. Get some rest for today. There will be many things waiting for you in the future," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

Qin Zhen nodded and surprisingly returned to her room to rest.

"This junior isn't bad," Li Xuan said with a smile as he walked.

Chapter 1501 Dubhe

When Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were alone at Zhou Wen's residence, Li Xuan said, "Old Zhou, what are your plans? Don't tell me you really want to establish a human city here? Although this is your hometown, there's no barrier here. There are unexplored dimensional zones everywhere. You can't stay here forever, right?"

"I originally wanted to find a dimensional zone to establish a city, but unfortunately, I haven't found a suitable place for the time being. I can only make do here for the time being," Zhou Wen said as he stroked the baby bear's back.

"I did some research on the nearby dimensional zones before coming here. There really aren't any suitable places to build a city. Originally, Guide Ancient City was a good choice. Once the city gates are closed, it wouldn't be easy to storm in. But that place is now too dangerous. There's no way to enter, much less build a city," Li Xuan said.

"If it was that easy to establish a city, this place would have long been occupied by others. The various factions are eyeing this place covetously, but they haven't done anything yet. I know how difficult it is to establish a city here." Zhou Wen also knew that it wasn't easy to establish a city here.

"Since you are aware of all of this, why are you erecting a city here?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement.

"What's the point if it's easy?" Zhou Wen said with a smile.

Li Xuan curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? If it wasn't for something interesting, would you be setting up a city here? I think if you have the time and energy, you'd rather play games in bed."

Zhou Wen laughed. "You know me the best. I won't hide it from you. Guide Ancient City has something very important to me, but I currently don't have the ability to retrieve it. Therefore, I have to establish a city here and guard it, so as to prevent the item from falling into the hands of others. Do you still remember what you said back then about establishing a city that belongs to us? How about it? Stay behind. This city will be ours."

"You're full of nonsense. Why else would I be here? Do you think this is a tourist attraction?" Li Xuan curled his lips.

"That's good. I can be relieved with you around," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

"What do you mean? From what you're saying, you want to be the boss that shirks responsibility?" Li Xuan immediately felt that something was amiss.

"That's not what I meant. However, I do wish to make a trip to Dubhe to take a look," Zhou Wen said.

"Sure, but don't enter," Li Xuan said.

"I know. Familiarize yourself with the situation here. I'll make a trip when you are done." Zhou Wen planned on giving Li Xuan some time.

"Do you think our Li family's intelligence network is useless? I'm afraid I know the situation here better than you. Alright, go do what you need to do. Leave this to me. With Qin Zhen's help, nothing will happen as long as a Calamity doesn't descend," Li Xuan said smugly.

"Is your brother alright?" When Li Xuan mentioned the intelligence network, Zhou Wen thought of Li Mobai. The Li family's intelligence network had nothing to do with Li Xuan. It was all built by Li Mobai.

"He's fine. He's doing very well. He eats, sleeps, and curses. If it wasn't for his eyes still in the cabinet at home, I would have wondered if he was blind. He's even more normal than a normal person, so normal that he appears a little sick," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"I cultivate in an Essence Energy Art with healing abilities. I can try to see if I can heal his eyes," Zhou Wen said.

"It's useless. He said it himself. His eyes are Ghost God Eyes. Healing abilities can't treat it, and he'll be like that for the rest of his life. However, he also said that looking at things doesn't necessarily need eyes. It's even more useless looking at people with eyes. Therefore, it doesn't matter if he has eyes or not." When Li Xuan said that, he looked somewhat helpless.

Zhou Wen guessed that Li Mobai was definitely educating him in a reprimanding tone when he said that.

The two chatted a lot more. The next morning, Zhou Wen summoned Qin Zhen, Fang Ruoxi, and company and introduced Yu Qiubai and the other core members to them, making it easier for them to work in the future.

Before leaving, Zhou Wen took Chick away, but he didn't tell the others that he was leaving for a period of time.

Apart from Li Xuan, Zhou Wen didn't plan on letting anyone know about this matter.

He would be back soon if everything went well. There was no need to alarm the others.

After returning to his room, Zhou Wen used Singularity Universe's teleportation ability with Chick. With Dubhe as his target, he teleported over.

When Zhou Wen finished his teleportation, his vision was filled with light and flames. The temperature was terrifyingly high. Despite wearing the Prisoned Dragon armor, Zhou Wen still felt his body heat up.

Chick seemed excited as it opened its mouth and sucked. Large swaths of flames around it surged into its mouth and into its stomach like spring water.

Zhou Wen immediately felt the temperature around him drop significantly. He focused his gaze and realized that he was very close to Dubhe. The flames that surged upwards from the planet were like fountains that reached a height that exceeded where Zhou Wen was levitating. Even steel would instantly melt.

Zhou Wen pushed Truth Listener's ability to its limits and flew close to the huge planet with Chick.

This planet was many times bigger than the sun. Wherever Zhou Wen flew, there were flames everywhere. The dazzling light made his eyes feel uncomfortable.

With Chick around, the high temperature was bearable. The nearby flames were swallowed by Chick.

He didn't discover any dimensional zones within his detectable range. However, the light and fire Essence Energy on this planet were extremely terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that there was a planet nearby that emitted a terrifying glow.

Although Zhou Wen had long heard that Dubhe was a binary star-meaning that it had a companion star-he was still shocked when he saw it.

However, Zhou Wen failed to find any dimensional zones after circling the two stars for quite some time, much less the tiny palm symbol.

Strange. Could it be that the dimensional zone is inside the planet? If that's the case, it will be difficult to find the dimensional zone without entering through the Cube. Zhou Wen looked at the planet that was even more terrifying than the sun. If he wanted to rush in, he wasn't sure if the Prisoned Dragon armor could withstand it.

Just as Zhou Wen was pondering over how to find the dimensional zone, he suddenly saw Chick's feathers stand up as it stared intently at the flames below.

"What is it?" Zhou Wen traced its gaze and saw a huge shadow flickering in the flames.

It was like a giant whale in the sea. He could only see a shadow, not enough to determine what it was.

Zhou Wen didn't wish to take the risk as he watched it swim in the flames. The shadow looked bigger than an aircraft carrier. He planned on returning to Earth with Chick.

However, to his surprise, Chick suddenly let out a long cry and spread its wings to rush towards the shadow in the flames.

Chapter 1502 Chick Starting A Fight

"Don't be rash!" Zhou Wen wanted to stop Chick, but it was already too late. Chick was too fast as it rushed into the flames.

Chick's entire body burned with phoenix flames. It was still dazzling amidst the already dazzling flames as it quickly charged at the gigantic figure.

Roar! The liquid on the planet spewed out, producing a terrifying glow and releasing massive amounts of energy. The explosion and radiation were accompanied by a terrifying shockwave and light spots. Instantly, all Zhou Wen saw were all sorts of strange light blasts. His vision became useless.

The Prisoned Dragon armor was affected by the terrifying energy. The armor turned red like a piece of red-hot metal at high temperatures.

The constantly erupting shockwaves sent Zhou Wen's body into a retreat. As he retreated, Zhou Wen saw a monster's head that resembled a rainbow crystal extend out from the various energy explosions. Just its head was comparable to an aircraft carrier.

It widened its mouth and devoured Chick who had flown into the flames. It was unimaginably huge.

Chick was like an ant in the monster's mouth. It was close to being devoured.

A phoenix cry tore through space as Chick flapped its wings. Its phoenix flames burgeoned as every golden feather spewed out golden phoenix flames, instantly melting Chick's body.

A huge golden flaming phoenix appeared, flapping within the monster's mouth. Space seemed to distort as Chick slid out of its mouth the instant the monster closed it.

Its actions were extremely elegant and light. It didn't seem fast, but it managed to escape the monster's lightning-like bite.

The monster's figure rushed out of the liquid. Its body was like a rainbow-colored glass whale. It had horns on its head and wings on its back. It looked strange and beautiful.

Although it was huge, it didn't appear bloated. Its contours were smooth as they exuded indescribable power.

Chick dodged the monster's bite and circled around the flames. The surrounding flames condensed towards its body, causing the phoenix flames on its body to burn brighter and brighter.

It went from slow to fast, from stillness to movement, from grace to swiftness. Instantly, Chick's speed increased to its limits. It was like a golden blade of light that crisscrossed the monster.

Chick appeared behind the monster, and a long golden burn mark appeared on its abdomen, as though it was a melted magma dyke.

Nicely done! Zhou Wen was overjoyed. Chick's strike seemed to have sliced open the monster's abdomen. The monster had probably been severely injured.

Zhou Wen saw the monster's flames burn as the wound on its abdomen rapidly healed the very next second. It flapped its wings and infinite flames rose, forming a huge flaming barrier that enveloped the nearby area.

The barrier's range was too large. It was already too late by the time Zhou Wen realized it. His body was trapped in the barrier as the energy inside constantly erupted. It was as though countless hydrogen bombs were exploding as they filled the area with light blasts.

Bang!

Zhou Wen's body slammed into the barrier as the Prisoned Dragon armor turned redder. If not for its Absolute Defense, it would have long been destroyed.

What level is this fellow at? Just the power in the domain is already so terrifying! Zhou Wen used spatial instant transmission to rush out of the barrier to avoid the outcome of both armor and human dying.

Thankfully, this barrier can't block spatial powers. Zhou Wen stood outside the barrier domain and could still sense the terrifying energy inside.

The fire phoenix formed by Chick constantly danced in the light, leaving behind golden phantoms that constantly flashed around the monster. It left a long burn mark on the monster every time.

However, as fire-elemental creatures, the monster's fire-elemental immunity and self-healing abilities were equally terrifying. The injuries Chick left on its body weren't enough to injure it.

After the monster unleashed the barrier, it stopped attacking Chick. It floated in the barrier and allowed Chick to attack it.

However, the barrier constantly shrank. As the barrier shrank, Chick's range of activity decreased, and the energy blast within the barrier intensified.

If one looked at it with their naked eyes, the barrier was like a miniature sun, and it was a miniature sun that was constantly shrinking.

Zhou Wen realized that Chick's situation wasn't going south. Chick looked very strong, but it ultimately hadn't reached the Calamity grade.

The reason Chick could exchange blows with the monster was that it was a phoenix with a top-notch fire-elemental bloodline. This could almost be considered its home ground. The monster also had fire-elemental powers, so Chick was immune to its fire-elemental powers. It could even absorb them, allowing it to fight the monster.

The problem was that no matter how strong Chick was, it was still much weaker without entering the Calamity grade. If it was imprisoned, it would be impossible for it to fight the monster head-on.

Zhou Wen summoned the Golden Wyrm Scissors and threw them at the barrier.

The Golden Wyrm Scissors instantly cut a hole in the barrier and rushed into it, but the hole in the barrier was immediately filled with flames.

None of this was important to Zhou Wen. His target wasn't the barrier to begin with, but the unknown monster.

The Golden Wyrm Scissors transformed into a golden beam that slashed at the rainbow-colored glass-like monster. With a crack, the monster's massive body couldn't withstand the Golden Wyrm Scissors. It was sliced into two.

The Golden Wyrm Scissors is too amazing! Zhou Wen was gratified. It was worth combining the three Calamity-grade creatures.

However, Zhou Wen immediately realized that something was amiss. The monster had been sliced into two, but the barrier domain didn't vanish. Furthermore, it was still shrinking. This meant that the monster wasn't dead.

Indeed, large amounts of flames spewed out from the monster's severed body. The flames on both sides intertwined, causing its body to fuse together again.

"Golden Wyrm Scissors, kill it." Zhou Wen ordered the Golden Wyrm Scissors to attack again.

The Golden Wyrm Scissors was activated again as they transformed into golden beams of light that slashed at the monster.

The monster didn't dodge. The Golden Wyrm Scissors snipped off its head into two, but still failed to kill it. Its head quickly fused again.

Chick also used its wings to attack the monster again and again. The blade- like wings left wounds on the monster's body, but they quickly recovered.

Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown. The Golden Wyrm Scissors was very powerful, but due to the limitations of his Essence Energy, he could only produce a maximum of three Clean Breaks when he used all his strength. Then, he needed time to recover his Essence Energy

He had already used Clean Break twice in a short period of time. If he still couldn't kill the monster with a final strike, he could only give up.

As Zhou Wen was in thought, the Golden Wyrm Scissors had already used all its strength to slice apart the monster's tail using their third Clean Break.

Chapter 1503 The Golden Wyrm Scissors Shows Its Prowess

Zhou Wen reeled with anxiety. He couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed when he saw the monster's tail heal.

However, Zhou Wen saw the Golden Wyrm Scissors split into two the next second. Their might didn't show any signs of weakening. It looked like their Essence Energy remained abundant, and there wasn't any problem of Essence Energy depletion.

How did this happen? Zhou Wen was first taken aback before he immediately thought of the reason.

The Golden Wyrm Scissors' Calamity Zone was called True Gold Fire Refinement. Zhou Wen never understood what use this Calamity Zone had.

This was because no flames were produced when he got the Golden Wyrm Scissors to use its Calamity Zone.

Zhou Wen finally understood that the power of the Golden Wyrm Scissors' domain seemed to be effective only in flames.

How can there be such a strange domain? Wouldn't this domain be useless if the place didn't have any flames? Yet, it really came in handy. I'll write this off as luck. Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised.

The Golden Wyrm Scissors exerted its powers again and again, as though it didn't need to worry about Essence Energy.

Zhou Wen also discovered a strange phenomenon. The Golden Wyrm Scissors' body was slowly changing. The golden scissors became heavier and heavier as the scales on the wyrm's body became more and more crystalline.

He took out his phone and took a look. Indeed, he realized that the various stats of the Golden Wyrm Scissors had increased.

Only then did Zhou Wen understand that the Golden Wyrm Scissors' Calamity Zone wasn't a combat domain. It was considered a zone that allowed self-evolving through the power of the flames.

The monster was probably at the Hell level as well. Coincidentally, it was fire-elemental. Under the high temperature of Dubhe, it allowed the Golden Wyrm Scissors to unleash its strongest might.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Wen hoped that the monster could be killed later. He wanted to use its Calamity Zone to help the Golden Wyrm Scissors raise its stats.

Even if it couldn't advance to the Heaven level, he could raise its basic stats to the peak of the Hell level.

Zhou Wen had already summoned his sniper rifle, but he put it away when he saw this situation.

After being attacked again and again, the monster also realized the danger. It no longer suffered a beating passively. High-temperature beams shot out from its eyes as it spat out high-temperature energy bullets.

However, such an attack wasn't of much use to Chick and the Golden Wyrm Scissors. Instead, it gave the Golden Wyrm Scissors better tampering, significantly increasing its stats.

Zhou Wen became fonder of the Golden Wyrm Scissors as he watched on. It was very suitable for combat in such an environment. Their powerful offensive strength, coupled with the evolutionary domain, only made them stronger. I'll probably need the Golden Wyrm Scissors to be my primary force when clearing the Dubhe dimensional zone in the future, Zhou Wen thought.

The monster could only blame it on its luck. It was clearly at the Hell level, but of all creatures, it encountered Chick and the Golden Wyrm Scissors. It couldn't unleash the combat strength and suppression it should have.

This also made Zhou Wen understand that even if one reached the Calamity grade, creatures with the strength of a single system would find it difficult to unleash their full combat strength when facing their nemesis.

There was no absolutely invincible power in this world. Every power had a nemesis. The ability the Lost Immortal Sutra gave Zhou Wen undoubtedly gave him a huge advantage.

Although he might not be able to crush peers at his level and there might be someone who could match Zhou Wen in some aspects, Zhou Wen would have a huge advantage in relatively complicated environments and battles. It was almost impossible for him to be restrained as he could adapt to various combat situations.

Ordinary people definitely couldn't fight like Zhou Wen. They could only use Companion Beasts and other methods to make up for their flaws.

However, compared to Companion Beasts, Zhou Wen had a greater advantage. Few people on Earth had a Calamity-grade Companion Beast.

It's no wonder so many people wanted Venus's Companion Beast. There are many stars in the Universe. As long as I fight in such an environment, the Golden Wyrm Scissors can produce extremely powerful combat strength. Unless there's an overwhelming disadvantage, they'll become stronger the more they fight. Zhou Wen looked at the stats on his phone. As the barrier domain shrank, the energy in it erupted stronger. The Golden Wyrm Scissors' stats increased.

Crack!

The Golden Wyrm Scissors snipped off the monster's body again, but this time, the sound was somewhat strange.

As the monster's body cracked, the barrier shattered. The energy inside scattered and quickly vanished.

The monster's body had already been snipped into two several times, but this time, it was somewhat different. Its two halves were rapidly collapsing rather than fusing.

The massive glass-like body constantly shattered as the crystal turned to dust. It melted under the celestial body's high temperature as its body gradually plummeted.

Chick let out a long cry as it grabbed half of its crumbling body with one claw and dragged it into space.

Even without the high temperatures, the monster's body rapidly disintegrated. Soon, there were only two halves of a crystal ball. The crystal ball didn't collapse as strange energy flowed inside.

It was likely that the monster died only after the crystal ball was hit by the Golden Wyrm Scissors' Clean Break.

Chick cried out in joy as it flew over and swallowed the two halves of the crystal ball.

Soon, the phoenix flames on Chick's body became thicker and thicker. Finally, they formed an egg-shaped barrier that constantly shimmered with light.

Is it about to advance to the Calamity grade? Zhou Wen called out a few times, but he didn't receive any response from Chick. He knew that Chick might have entered an evolutionary state again.

He reached out and stored Chick in its egg form into the Chaos Bead. Zhou Wen looked at the Golden Wyrm Scissors floating beside him. Although he couldn't count on Chick anymore, with the Golden Wyrm Scissors, there shouldn't be much danger as long as he didn't enter the dimensional zone.

Zhou Wen decided to continue searching to see if he could find the dimensional zone on Dubhe.

As he searched, he checked the information on the Golden Wyrm Scissors and realized that its four stats had already reached 267. If that monster hadn't died too early, it would have increased even more.

Zhou Wen attempted to get the Golden Wyrm Scissors to enter the high-temperature area of Dubhe, but as Companion Beasts couldn't be too far from their owners and Zhou Wen didn't dare go too close, the Golden Wyrm Scissors also found it difficult to venture deep. The surface temperature wasn't of much help to its evolution.

The Dubhe was massive. Zhou Wen searched for a long time but didn't find any traces of the dimensional zone. All he could do was teleport to the other companion star to take a look, but he still didn't find anything.

Strange, why can't I find the dimensional zone? Zhou Wen knew that there had to be a dimensional zone that could be reached through the Cube, but he couldn't find it outside.

Could it be that the entire dimensional zone is inside Dubhe? In that case, I probably won't be able to enter the dimensional zone without sufficient fire-elemental defensive equipment. Zhou Wen was already thinking about where to get such immunity-providing equipment. It would be best if it was at the Calamity grade.

Chapter 1504 Four-Star System

It wasn't completely impossible for Zhou Wen to enter, but he didn't wish to take the risk.

It took quite some time to search both celestial bodies. Just as Zhou Wen was about to return, his heart suddenly stirred. The Dubhe is one of the Big Dipper stars. Now that Dubhe has changed, have the other six stars changed as well?

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and felt that it wouldn't be a problem to take a look.

The stars that humans could see in the night sky were mostly stars, not planets or other celestial bodies. The other six stars of the Big Dipper were also stars. Although they were somewhat different from Dubhe, the environment of the stars was somewhat similar.

After Zhou Wen teleported over, he only took a look from a close distance, but he didn't discover any dimensional zones.

When he arrived at the sixth star, Mizar, he didn't discover anything beyond it. He even deliberately looked at the companion star, Alcor.

Mizar was a famous binary star. Its companion star, Alcor, was one of the few binary stars that could be resolved with the naked eye on Earth. As Alcor had a lower magnitude, it was used in ancient times to test the eyesight of soldiers. To be able to see this star was believed to have a visual acuity of 20/12.5.

When Zhou Wen found Alcor, he realized that there wasn't only one companion star nearby, but three.

The two pairs of stars revolved around each other. It was far more complicated than what he had seen on Earth. It was a four-star system.

The four stars revolved according to a certain trajectory, allowing for a scene of four suns rising at the same time. It looked extremely magical. Earth was in a single star system, so it was impossible for it to see such a scene.

Zhou Wen suddenly thought of an ancient myth. Legend had it that the sun was a Golden Crow. And in the past, there wasn't only one Golden Crow, but ten. Under the restrictions of the Celestial Thearch, only one Golden Crow came out every day to provide light to the land.

However, there was once a time when ten Golden Crows appeared together, nearly roasting the ground dry.

A god, Hou Yi, shot down nine Golden Crows with divine arrows, leaving only one Golden Crow to bring light to the land.

If this wasn't just a legend, but an actual event, Zhou Wen wondered if it was possible that the Solar System was a ten-star system that possessed nine other Companion Beasts at some point in time.

Of course, Zhou Wen was only musing. After all, Companion Beasts didn't randomly appear, much less come and go as they pleased. Even if they really existed, who could really shoot down nine stars?

Furthermore, a 7-star system was the most that had been found to date. 10-star systems had yet to be found.

Zhou Wen chose one of the stars because he wanted to take a look. However, when he teleported near the celestial body, he was surprised to discover a monument erected on

it.

The monument didn't look like metal or jade. It was unknown where it was made. Erected on the celestial body, the terrifyingly high temperature and energy blasts couldn't damage it at all.

Most of the monument was enveloped by flames and high-temperature magma, but the exposed parts were thousands of meters tall. It was black like metal, and it was densely engraved with symbols that Zhou Wen didn't recognize.

The tiny palm symbol! Zhou Wen looked at it for a while and realized that there was a tiny palm symbol on the side of the monument. He was overwhelmed with a pleasant surprise.

He quickly took out his phone and snapped a picture of the tiny palm symbol. Immediately, the phone entered the download screen.

Unfortunately, I only have one of Mizar's stars. It's not Dubhe that appeared on the Cube, Zhou Wen thought regretfully.

As the download didn't show any signs of completion and Zhou Wen didn't wish to waste any time, he circled all four stars before heading to the last of the seven stars-Eta Ursae Majoris.

In the end, the stone monument was found only on one celestial body, not elsewhere.

Zhou Wen took quite some time to make such a huge trip. Based on Earth's calendar, it took him a few days, but the dungeon didn't finish downloading.

Downloading the Venusian instance dungeon didn't take that long previously! Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss.

There was no point in staying any longer. Zhou Wen teleported back to Earth and looked at the time. He realized that he had been away for more than half a month.

However, compared to interstellar travel that could easily be measured in light-years, Zhou Wen's teleportation ability was already crazy enough. His trip wasn't long at all.

Zhou Wen realized that Guide City had changed drastically when he returned.

The people who were originally crowding near the school were living in the nearby city. They weren't camping outside the school.

Li Xuan is pretty good. I never expected him to have such talent! Zhou Wen couldn't help but be alarmed when he saw that everyone was behaving in an orderly manner without the panic from before.

Zhou Wen returned to school and went straight to Li Xuan. He realized that there were two people who were chatting with Li Xuan in his room. Zhou Wen wasn't unfamiliar with the two of them. One was Feng Qiuyan, and the other was Ming Xiu.

When Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan saw Zhou Wen, they stood up and shouted in unison, "Coach."

"Why are you guys here?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.

"Coach, I heard that you wish to establish a city. My family got me to come over to take a look. If possible, they plan on moving over," Ming Xiu said.

Feng Qiuyan also nodded and said, "My family plans to do the same. Coach, if you establish the city, I hope you can leave some space for my Feng family."

"Are you guys joking?" Zhou Wen knew that the two of them had terrifying strength. Furthermore, with the strength of their families, they had their own cities to begin with. There was no need for them to join Zhou Wen.

Even if they really wanted to choose a place to settle in, the conditions the six families and even the various warlords could provide them were much better than Zhou Wen's.

"Coach, I'm really not joking," Ming Xiu said with a smile. "Although our Ming family is in quite a comfy environment, it's a pity that there isn't much room for development in that area. The lack of dimensional zones' resources has already limited the Ming family's future achievements. We have long been searching for suitable locations. Since you want to establish the city, I naturally won't miss such an opportunity."

"I'm afraid you don't know much about Guide City's situation, right? It's not that easy to survive here. It's still unknown if it can be built." Zhou Wen wasn't completely confident that he could build a city here, nor did he wish to lie to them.

"Danger and opportunity are two sides of the same coin. How can we gain anything if we don't take risks? Our Ming family has long studied the situation in Guide City. To be honest, our Ming family had considered occupying Guide City in the past, but we ultimately gave up because of a lack of confidence. Ignoring our Ming family, even the six families wouldn't dare set up a city here."

Ming Xiu paused for a moment before saying solemnly, "Now, all the major factions are waiting to see your outcome. No one thinks that you can really establish a city here, but I think that you will definitely be able to get a foothold here. Therefore, no matter what the family chooses, I will stay here."

"Me too," Feng Qiuyan added succinctly.

Chapter 1505 The Strangeness of the Wind God Cave

"The two of you… Don't blindly… make a decision… Think about it again…" Zhou Wen originally wanted them not to blindly believe in him, but after some thought, it didn't seem appropriate to say that. He changed his mind at the last minute.

Ming Xiu smiled and said, "It's not blind faith. We know that there are risks, but all investments carry risks; high risk, high reward. We think we can bet on you, Coach."

"Whatever suits you. Don't regret it if you lose the bet." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and asked Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan, "What's your cultivation level now?"

Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan's eyes lit up while their expressions turned solemn. Ming Xiu said, "I've already advanced to the Terror grade. The Mythical Serum I used was created from a temporal dimensional creature. It's quite a coincidence. It was originally a Calamity creature, but when it was released, something happened. It was invaded by an enemy and was severely injured. I lucked out by touching it while it was on its deathbed. I got Senior Haifeng to help me create the Mythical Serum. Now that I've advanced to the Terror grade, the Terror transformation ability I obtained is Temporal Arbitration…"

Everyone's Life Providence, Life Soul, Wheel of Destiny, and Terror transformation abilities were their greatest secrets. However, Ming Xiu explained his abilities in detail in front of Zhou Wen without any intention of hiding them.

"Coach, do you think there's anything I need to correct?" Ming Xiu looked at Zhou Wen with anticipation.

"You have your own ideas and cultivation direction. Furthermore, I'm not good at temporal powers. It's not appropriate for me to give you any suggestions." Zhou Wen paused before saying, "However, if you want to advance to the Calamity grade, you can pay attention to temporal dimensional zones. You might gain something." "Coach, you actually know how to advance to the Calamity grade. That means you should have already advanced to the Calamity grade, right? I understand, Coach. In the future, I'll especially search for some temporal dimensional zones to train myself. I hope I can comprehend time. I hope I can advance to the Calamity grade as soon as possible like you." Ming Xiu nodded in enlightenment.

Feng Qiuyan continued, "Coach, I've also advanced to the Terror grade, but my situation is somewhat special. My Mythical Serum comes from the Wind God Cave that our Feng family guards…"

Zhou Wen wasn't too surprised when Feng Qiuyan told him the details of his situation.

Back then, Feng Qiuyan had summoned a very strange Companion Beast. It was said to be from the Wind God Cave protected by the Feng family. Zhou Wen had long felt that it wasn't simple.

Feng Qiuyan originally wanted to hunt a dimensional creature that was suitable for him in the Wind God Cave before creating the Mythical Serum.

However, to his surprise, the magical Companion Beast on him led him deep into the Wind God Cave. There was a strange cave there with a small pool at its bottom. It had a little spring water inside.

Feng Qiuyan was pushed into the pool by his Companion Beast. When he came out, the spring water in the pool had already dried up, and he had advanced to the Mythical stage.

Later, Feng Qiuyan went to look for Hui Haifeng. After Hui Haifeng helped him check his body, he told him that his physical condition had advanced after using the Mythical Serum. The clear spring water was likely a natural or man-made Mythical Serum. Even Hui Haifeng couldn't tell what type it was.

Feng Qiuyan's Essence Energy didn't seem to have any special attributes, but at times, it could produce unbelievable power.

Feng Qiuyan himself wasn't too sure of the attributes of his powers. He had always cultivated with the wind elemental in mind, but the power of his Terror form had nothing to do with wind. Its name was Rebellious.

Ming Xiu still had some traces of influence from a dimensional creature's bloodline. For example, his ears looked a little like cat ears. As for Feng Qiuyan, there was no sign of the effects of the Mythical Serum. He was no different from a human who hadn't used one.

"Coach, should I cultivate in a wind-elemental dimensional zone?" Feng Qiuyan asked Zhou Wen in anticipation after explaining his situation.

In fact, Feng Qiuyan had previously been to dimensional zones where many wind-elemental creatures appeared, but the effects weren't ideal.

"Let's find a place to first show me your powers." With Feng Qiuyan's description, he couldn't tell what Feng Qiuyan's powers were, so he decided to take a look.

Of course, Zhou Wen didn't believe that he could teach Feng Qiuyan anything. He only wanted to help him figure out what attributes his powers belonged to.

"It's been a long time since I received your personal guidance. Count me in," Ming Xiu said excitedly.

When Li Xuan saw Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan looking extremely excited, he thought to himself, Could it be that these two fellows are born masochists? Do they feel uncomfortable not being beaten up? If that's the case, they should learn from me. Why are they looking for Old Zhou? My skill at enduring beatings suits them better. However, it's too late for them to change to my Essence Energy Art now. What a shame for these two good seedlings.

The four of them and a bear arrived at an uninhabited spot in the wilderness. When the baby bear saw Zhou Wen return, it had stuck to him and refused to leave.

While Zhou Wen was away, he got Li Xuan to help take care of the baby bear. The baby bear was barely willing to let Li Xuan approach it, but the moment Zhou Wen returned, he ignored him.

"An ingrate… To think I fed you so many good things… Pui…" Li Xuan muttered gloomily.

"Coach, please enlighten me." Feng Qiuyan summoned his saber. At the same time, a mysterious force circulated around his body as though the wind was flowing around him, causing his clothes and long hair to dance.

What kind of power is this? It even has a hairdryer effect? Zhou Wen looked at Feng Qiuyan in envy. He looked like an immortal riding the wind, exuding an indescribable elegance.

However, Feng Qiuyan didn't think too much about it as he slashed.

Zhou Wen's eyesight was definitely top-notch at the Terror grade, but at the instant Feng Qiuyan's saber slashed out, it vanished from his vision, making it difficult for him to keep up with the saber's speed.

This left Zhou Wen somewhat alarmed. However, even though Feng Qiuyan's saber could make Zhou Wen's vision unable to keep up, he couldn't escape Truth Listener's enhanced hearing.

Zhou Wen extended two fingers and instantly clamped the blade that Feng Qiuyan had slashed out. The blade was less than three centimeters away from Zhou Wen's neck.

"Again," Zhou Wen said to Feng Qiuyan as he released his fingers.

Feng Qiuyan seemed to expect it. After sheathing his saber, he attacked Zhou Wen again. Feng Qiuyan's saber was terrifyingly fast. It was already close to the speed of a Calamity-grade. Furthermore, as he constantly struck out with his saber, his saber speed constantly increased.

However, this speed wasn't enough to injure Zhou Wen, but it already left him somewhat alarmed.

Chapter 1506 Coach's Gift

Zhou Wen only defended without attacking. He could handle the attacks easily in the beginning, but at any moment, Feng Qiuyan's saber speed would become faster and faster. This gave Zhou Wen no choice but to activate the power of Human Sovereign and raise his physical stats to the Calamity grade. Only then could he suppress Feng Qiuyan in terms of speed, preventing him from hitting him.

This fellow's saber is really fast-abnormally fast. It should be related to his Terror transformation ability, right? However, his powers don't seem to be purely wind-elemental… Zhou Wen thought to himself.

Ming Xiu's eyes lit up as he watched from the side. He subconsciously moved his toes back and forth, having the urge to join the battle.

"As expected of Coach. If I want to defeat Old Feng, I can't let him have a chance to deliver more than three strikes. Otherwise, I'll definitely lose. However, no matter how many strikes Old Feng strikes, he can't even touch Coach's clothes. This is no longer an existence on the same level," praised Ming Xiu.

Li Xuan curled his lips and said, "Aren't you spouting nonsense? You and Little Yanyan were taught by Old Zhou. It would be strange if you could hit him."

However, Li Xuan had spoken too soon. He originally imagined that no matter how fast Feng Qiuyan's saber was, there was ultimately a limit. It was impossible for it to reach the speed of a Calamity-grade.

However, this pattern clearly didn't apply to Feng Qiuyan. In the end, Feng Qiuyan's saber speed really broke through the speed of light. It was a speed that only a Calamity-grade could reach.

How does this fellow do it? From the looks of it, the Wind God Cave isn't simple. There's more to the thing inside. Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. To reach the speed of light at the Terror grade was definitely not something an ordinary Terror creature could

do.

Zhou Wen wanted to visit the Wind God Cave. If he could find the tiny palm symbol, he would be in for a killing.

If I let Feng Qiuyan's saber speed increase as he continues slashing like this, I might not be able to dodge it. I should quickly end it. With a thought, Zhou Wen extended two fingers into the saber beam and grabbed the blade that resembled a stream of light.

Instantly, the swift saber came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time that Zhou Wen grabbed the saber, Feng Qiuyan's legs went limp as he fell to the ground. He panted heavily as sweat gushed out. It made him look like he had just come out of a bathtub. His clothes were drenched and he looked like he had been enervated.

"As expected of Coach. You could even tell that I had reached my limit and ended the battle at the right time, preventing me from over-exerting myself." Feng Qiuyan felt somewhat ashamed and felt that he shouldn't have continued fighting.

Zhou Wen released his fingers that were holding the saber and used Truth Listener to scan Feng Qiuyan's body. Seeing that he had just expended too much energy and hadn't injured his body, he immediately felt relieved. However, he muttered inwardly, What are the attributes of Feng Qiuyan's powers?

Zhou Wen failed to figure out what Feng Qiuyan's attributes were despite the long observation. It looked like the power of wind, but it was somewhat different.

They aren't anything like Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, nor are they spatial or temporal. There don't seem to be any special attributes. They seem to be somewhat similar to my Dao Sutra and Qi Refinement Sutra, but there are also some differences. If I have to give an answer, they are much more similar to the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation. However, my Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation has the power of an array formed from multiple skills combined. His power is singular, but it's so similar to the power of the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation. This is somewhat odd.

Zhou Wen wasn't too sure because Feng Qiuyan's powers were actually very different from his Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation. It wasn't completely the same.

"Coach, how can I make myself stronger?" Feng Qiuyan was still panting as he asked Zhou Wen eagerly. His stamina had yet to recover.

Zhou Wen didn't know what Feng Qiuyan's powers belonged to, so it wasn't appropriate for him to spout nonsense. However, when he saw Feng Qiuyan's expectant gaze, he couldn't bear to say that he didn't know.

After some thought, Zhou Wen said to Feng Qiuyan, "I'll give you a small item. Take it and take a look. Perhaps you will gain something."

As he spoke, Zhou Wen took out a coin and circulated the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation to attach to the coin.

The coin instantly spun like a spinning top. When Zhou Wen released his hand, the coin floated in the air and kept spinning as though it was being propelled by infinite power. It showed no signs of falling.

"Coach, don't worry. I definitely won't disappoint you. I'll figure out the mystery behind this," Feng Qiuyan said as he stared at the spinning coin as though he had obtained a treasure.

"It's just a trinket. Just take a look. There's no need to mind it too much." Zhou Wen didn't know if this could help Feng Qiuyan figure out his powers. However, studying the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation was definitely not a bad thing. With Feng Qiuyan's high talent, he might gain some insight.

"Coach, you've already given Old Feng something. Shouldn't you give me something too? You can't favor one over the other!" Ming Xiu shamelessly asked for something.

"I'm really not good at temporal powers. I'll give you one move." Zhou Wen pointed at Ming Xiu.

Ming Xiu extended his hand to block, but he realized that he couldn't block Zhou Wen's fingers. The sword beam that bloomed on Zhou Wen's fingers appeared half a beat later and flew past Ming Xiu's cheek.

"Isn't this my Tomorrow Sword Art? Coach, you've made it much stronger than mine!" Ming Xiu couldn't help but be secretly delighted. Zhou Wen had actually practiced his Tomorrow Sword Art. Although he had higher attainments than him, it was still his sword art after all. He felt honored that Zhou Wen was willing to practice it.

"This isn't Tomorrow Sword Art. Its name is Spacetime Bandit. You can use it to verify your Tomorrow Sword Art. Perhaps you will gain something." Zhou Wen told Ming Xiu some key points of Spacetime Bandit.

As he didn't have the skill crystal, Zhou Wen couldn't teach it to Ming Xiu. All he could do was tell him some of his experience. Whether he could use it depended on him.

Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan acted as though they had obtained a treasure and stopped pestering Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen led the baby bear and Li Xuan back as Li Xuan explained the situation in Guide City in detail.

It turned out that in the past half a month, Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan weren't the only ones who had come. Many experts had come to Guide City as well. Only then could Li Xuan stabilize it. Otherwise, just the manpower they had wouldn't have been enough to defend such a large area.

Those experts came from different places. Most of them were sent over by the various factions. Hui Haifeng had also sent quite a number of people over. There were more than ten Mythical experts who had advanced using the Mythical Serum. What gave Zhou Wen a headache was that Hui Wan had also come.

Is Hui Haifeng crazy? He sent his only son to such a place? Zhou Wen felt his head ache.

"Hui Haifeng got Hui Wan to deliver a message. He said that it's safer for his son to be with you than with him," Li Xuan said.

"From the looks of it, Hui Haifeng isn't that comfortable being president." Zhou Wen could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

Chapter 1507 Descent Through the Corpse

Boom!

Dark clouds gathered in the sky as bolts of lightning crisscrossed. A bolt struck the ground, creating a huge crater in the wilderness which revealed coffins.

Crack!

Another bolt of lightning struck one of the coffins.

The coffin was made of some unknown wood. When the lightning struck it, sparks flew and enveloped the entire coffin, but it didn't damage it at all.

Lightning bolts descended one after another, but as though they were individually sentient, they landed on five different coffins.

Lightning flashed over the five coffins. After a while, the lightning surrounding the coffins vanished. The dark clouds and storm in the sky also dissipated.

With a few soft sounds, the lids of the five coffins were slowly pushed open. The corpses sat up in the coffins.

Although they were corpses, their bodies were no different from living people. There were no signs of decay. Apart from the lack of a heartbeat, it was impossible to tell that they were dead.

The five corpses crawled out of the coffins. Four of them bowed at another corpse and said, "Your Excellency Berserker Immortal, those fellows from the League of Guardians must have never expected that we had long left a backup plan on Earth. They thought that we had to rely on them and Skysplit Tower. Do you want to visit the League of Guardians to teach them a lesson?"

Berserker Immortal glanced at his body and said coldly, "The power these five ancient corpses can withstand is limited. The power of a Calamity-grade will cause irreversible damage to them. Once we lose the protection of these ancient corpses, the rules of Earth will deal too much damage to us. Therefore, our goal is to find a new representative. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to teach them a lesson. Furthermore, we still need them to rebuild Skysplit Tower. It's not appropriate to let them know that we have other methods to descend to Earth for the time being."

"Your Excellency, according to the information we previously received, there are many warlords on Earth, but many are wanting. In the East District, the An family in Luoyang is the strongest. Their strength is enough to fight the big families like the six families. It even vaguely feels like it can surpass them. If it can be used by us, it will naturally be the best choice. However…" One of the ancient corpses didn't finish his sentence.

"If you have something to say, just say it. It's not the style of the four immortals of the arts." Berserker Immortal said indifferently.

Due to the League of Guardians' slow progress in repairing Skysplit Tower, Berserker Immortal didn't want to be limited by others. In order to escape Wang Mingyuan's restrictions, he didn't hesitate to use the Immortals' trump card in the Mythical era. He wanted to find a new representative as soon as possible to replace the League of Guardians.

As he had used an ancient corpse to descend, his strength was limited by the ancient corpse's physique, preventing him from unleashing Berserker Immortal's true strength. To be safe, Berserker Immortal had even invited the four immortals of the four arts to descend with him.

The four immortals—Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting-were all at the Calamity grade. Although they hadn't reached the Heaven level like Berserker Immortal, they were still existences at the Hell level. Even if they were affected by the ancient corpses and couldn't unleash their full strength, they were not to be underestimated.

Calligraphy Immortal who had just spoken continued, "However, Wang Mingyuan comes from Luoyang. It's difficult to guarantee that he has nothing to do with the An family. Furthermore, Zhou Wen, who is hand in glove with the An family, is one of Wang Mingyuan's disciples. It doesn't seem appropriate to choose the An family."

Painting Immortal continued, "Although the An family didn't resist contracting Guardians, they are more inclined towards developing technology. They aren't very enthusiastic about contracting Guardians. The chips in our hands aren't that attractive to the An family."

Berserker Immortal quietly listened to them before saying, "The An family has already reached such a state. It won't be easy to rope them. Furthermore, there's the risk of exposing our trump cards to Wang Mingyuan."

The four immortals believed that Berserker Immortal had no intention of targeting the An family, but to their surprise, Berserker Immortal changed the topic and continued, "Now that Zhou Wen has already left the An family and wants to establish a city in Guide City, this is an opportunity. To establish a city in a place like Guide City, even the An family might not be able to succeed. Furthermore, Zhou Wen is alone. Now is the most difficult time for him. It's also our best chance."

"But Zhou Wen is Wang Mingyuan's disciple. Isn't that inappropriate?" The four immortals looked at each other, clearly doubting Berserker Immortal's decision.

Berserker Immortal said indifferently, "The best way to defeat an enemy is to destroy his confidence. The reason Wang Mingyuan shows such arrogance in the dimension is that his disciples control almost all the strongest factions on Earth. We have no other choice. If we can destroy the assets he's so proud of, Wang Mingyuan will definitely be in a mess. It will be up to us whether we kill him or not."

Thinking back to Wang Mingyuan's slap, an indiscernible killing intent flashed in Berserker Immortal's eyes.

"Zhou Wen is Wang Mingyuan's disciple after all. How can we ensure that he will be used by us and not go against us like Jiang Yan?" Calligraphy Immortal said after some thought.

"It's precisely because even Wang Mingyuan can't think of it that it's more valuable. In comparison, Zhou Wen, who has left the An family, is the easiest to deal with among Wang Mingyuan's disciples. As long as I can crush his will, I'll take him for myself using the Art of Immortal Opportunity. I definitely won't allow any accidents to happen," said Berserker Immortal.

When the four immortals heard that, they revealed looks of enlightenment. Painting Immortal said with a smile, "I never expected you to be able to use the Art of Immortal Opportunity. We are relieved."

Calligraphy Immortal pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the Art of Immortal Opportunity is somewhat similar to a contractual art. It can only be used if the other party is willing to accept it. Your Excellency, how do you plan on subduing Zhou Wen?"

"The easiest moment to breach a person's defenses is when they are in danger. It's very easy for something to happen in a place like Guide City, isn't it? When he is facing an insurmountable problem, we will descend from above to save him from danger. It will naturally be effective," Berserker Immortal said as he headed for Guide City.

The four immortals understood what Berserker Immortal meant and hurriedly followed.

At that moment in Guide City, Zhou Wen looked at Hui Wan with a headache.

The Essence Energy Art Hui Wan cultivated was Zhou Wen's Qi Refinement Art. The greatest characteristic of this Essence Energy Art was the need for extravagance. As long as one had enough Essence Energy Crystals, there was basically no threshold that prevented one from advancing all the way to the Epic stage.

Hui Wan's family was so poor that all they had left was money. He could use all sorts of high-level Essence Energy Crystals. At a young age, Hui Wan had already advanced to the Epic stage. He was just short of advancing to the Mythical stage.

Hui Haifeng didn't rashly get Hui Wan to use a Mythical Serum. He had sent Hui Wan over firstly to ensure his safety, and secondly, to get Zhou Wen to help him choose a path.

Hui Wan was Hui Haifeng's only son. Apart from Zhou Wen, Hui Haifeng was worried about leaving Hui Wan's future to others.

Chapter 1508 Super AI

Zhou Wen could roughly guess Hui Haifeng's thoughts, but this matter gave him a headache.

It was impossible to gather the nine Life Providences and nine Life Souls and advance to the Mythical stage as a pure human. At the very least, Zhou Wen hadn't discovered any other method other than the Lost Immortal Sutra.

The only path left was Spirit Casting, Mythical Serum, and Guardian contracting.

In the past, Spirit Casting and Mythical Serum were indeed good choices. Hui Haifeng was also an expert in producing Mythical Serums. It wasn't difficult to create a Mythical Serum that was suitable for Hui Wan to raise his success rate.

However, Hui Haifeng didn't do it. Instead, he handed Hui Wan over to Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen roughly guessed that Hui Haifeng wasn't completely confident of success. Hui Haifeng didn't wish to take it even if there was only a 1% risk.

This wasn't the crux of the problem. The crux was that Zhou Wen had heard from the humanoid monster in Ancient Sovereign City that it was best if humans could ensure the purity of their bloodline.

If the premise was to ensure the purity of the bloodline, contracting a Guardian was a more suitable path.

Therefore, after some thought, Zhou Wen felt somewhat stumped.

"Master, I've tried many times and used a large number of high-level Essence Energy Crystals, but I just can't advance to the Mythical stage. Did I do something wrong?" Hui Wan came in front of Zhou Wen and took out his notebook. As he asked Zhou Wen, he recorded his teachings.

Zhou Wen thought to himself, It would be a surprise if you could advance to the Mythical stage. In ancient times, this was called the limits of the Deva Realm. Since ancient times, there haven't been many humans who could break through the limits of the Deva Realm with their pure human bodies. As far as Zhou Wen knew, even Human Sovereigns like Suirenshi couldn't do it. Among the people Zhou Wen knew, other than himself, only Jing Daoxian had that possibility, but it was impossible to confirm that he advanced to the Mythical stage with a pure human bloodline.

"Show me your Life Providence and Life Soul," Zhou Wen said, unwilling to dampen Hui Wan's enthusiasm.

Hui Wan put away the notebook and stood up. He circulated the Qi Refinement Art and quickly condensed his Qi, turning it into a Life Soul that floated in front of him.

"What's this?" Zhou Wen sized up Hui Wan's Life Soul and found it odd.

When Zhou Wen cultivated the Qi Refinement Art, the Life Soul he condensed was Sword Pill. The Life Soul Hui Wan condensed was completely different from his. Not only was it not Sword Pill, but it wasn't a blade or saber. It looked like a phone no matter how he looked at it.

"Your Life Soul is a cell phone?" Zhou Wen sized up the Life Soul and asked.

"It's not a phone. You can call it a Super AI." Hui Wan explained the detailed abilities of his Life Soul.

The more Zhou Wen listened, the more he found it odd. Hui Wan said that it wasn't a phone, but many of the functions of this Life Soul were similar to a phone. Hui Wan could even connect to the Federation's Internet through his Life Soul.

What was even more terrifying was that this thing could also quickly crack all kinds of passwords. Opening an electronic lock was very simple. The bank vaults that used high-tech protective equipment were no different from naked beauties in front of Hui Wan's Life Soul.

Of course, this wasn't the only effect of the Super AI Life Soul. There were many other uses, but they had nothing to do with combat.

"Your Life Soul is somewhat special. Can you enter the Zhang family's server to search for information with this Life Soul?" Zhou Wen asked Hui Wan.

Currently, the server controlled by the Zhang family had the highest encryption and defense in the Federation. No one had been able to hack into it to search for information.

"Of course. I've accessed it a few times before, but there wasn't much interesting content inside. I only found a few pill formulas and spirit talisman creation methods. There wasn't much else of value," Hui Wan said to Zhou Wen as he skillfully got the Super AI Life Soul to connect to the Internet.

Before Zhou Wen could say a word, he saw plenty of data appear on the Super Al's screen. Clearly, it had succeeded.

"You've done this a lot in the past, right? Have you seen the private servers of the other families?" Zhou Wen knew that Hui Wan had done this quite a number of times when he saw how adept he was.

"I've taken a look, but there aren't many interesting things. The various families have the intention of keeping important information in equipment without network access. Most of the information I can find is useless," Hui Wan said casually.

Zhou Wen thought to himself, You sure are gutsy. It's no wonder the Hui family has been doing so well recently. Although Hui Haifeng doesn't have much power in the Federation, he has been advancing step by step. He has been doing well and hasn't made any major decision mistakes. I reckon some of this is thanks to Hui Wan.

"This is the first time I've seen a Life Soul like yours. I need to consider it before giving you some suggestions. Before that, you should learn more combat techniques," Zhou Wen said half-truthfully.

"I'm already very familiar with my combat techniques…" Hui Wan said confidently.

"Actual combat techniques aren't something that can be mastered with practice. Actual combat naturally needs to be honed through actual combat. How about this? Go to your Uncle Li Xuan and get him to arrange for you to participate in the defense. You can continue training on the battlefield."

When Hui Wan heard that he could enter the battlefield, his eyes lit up. "Can it really be done? Dad has always refused to let me participate in real battles. He only wants me to fight those dimensional creatures at home. It's so boring."

"Of course. I call the shots here. It's useless even if your father comes," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

"Long live Master! I can finally go on the battlefield!" Hui Wan immediately became excited. At that moment, he looked like a child.

After sending Hui Wan to Li Xuan, Zhou Wen was still worried. He deliberately gave Li Xuan a call to ensure Hui Wan's safety. This was Hui Haifeng's only heir. He couldn't die here.

After hanging up, Zhou Wen picked up the mysterious phone and realized that the dungeon hadn't been downloaded successfully. It was still the download screen.

Strange, why is this dungeon so huge? Could it be that the dungeon I downloaded this time isn't a single Alcor, but a dimensional zone of the entire Big Dipper? Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to download a single dungeon. Zhou Wen was very suspicious.

While Zhou Wen was studying it, he received a message from Li Xuan saying that something had happened in the Dubhe instance dungeon.

Zhou Wen hurriedly launched the livestream app on his phone. On the homepage, there were many streamers livestreaming the Cube. He clicked on one and indeed, he discovered a problem.

Previously, the scene of the Cube had been fixed on Dubhe that constantly emitted flames. However, at that moment, the scene of the Cube seemed to rapidly sink into Dubhe's extremely hot celestial body.

Soon, the scene was completely filled with dazzling bursts of light. However, not long after, the scene suddenly darkened, and a strange palace appeared on the Cube's screen.

Chapter 1509 Dubhe Dimensional Zone

The palace was purple, as though it was carved from purple jade. Only a door was revealed. The subsequent parts were in the high-temperature liquid that constantly radiated light.

There were only strange patterns on the door, but no words were found. It was unknown what the name of the dimensional zone was.

In front of the door stood a majestic creature.

Is that thing a dinosaur? Zhou Wen looked at the creature in front of the palace in surprise.

It had long hind legs and short front claws. Its tail looked like a lizard's and its mouth was filled with razor-sharp teeth. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a Tyrannosaurus from Earth's prehistoric civilization, not a western dragon or flying dragon.

There were many dinosaur fossils on Earth, but up to now, there was no uniform explanation as to why the dinosaurs had gone extinct.

The creature that had appeared at the palace's entrance was like the Tyrannosaurus in movies. However, what was different from the movies was the Tyrannosaurus's red body that was burning with red flames.

The dimensional zone on Dubhe is indeed in its interior. That Tyrannosaurus can break through the high temperature and radiation outside to reach the entrance of the dimensional zone, so it should be at the Human Realm at the very minimum, right?

The Tyrannosaurus had already slammed into the palace door while Zhou Wen was still in thought.

The door to the palace was slammed open by the Tyrannosaurus with a loud boom. However, there was a resplendent orange-red light inside. Nothing could be seen.

The Tyrannosaurus rushed through the door without any hesitation. The Cube's screen finally became clearer, allowing everyone to see the scene inside the palace.

Huge pillars propped up the massive palace. There were a total of twenty-four pillars in two rows. Each pillar seemed to be carved from amethyst and was more than a meter in diameter.

Furthermore, every amethyst pillar had a mysterious symbol engraved on it. One couldn't tell what the mysterious symbol represented for the time being.

At the end of the two rows of pillars, at the back of the palace, sat a creature wearing amethyst armor. As his entire body was enveloped by amethyst armor, Zhou Wen didn't know what he looked like or if he looked like a human.

The Tyrannosaurus roared and charged at the amethyst-armored creature sitting there the moment it rushed into the palace.

Its hind legs exerted strength as it charged forward like light. Its speed wasn't inferior to Zhou Wen's.

Zhou Wen had long expected it to be at the Calamity grade. It wasn't surprising that it had such speed.

The Tyrannosaurus rushed in front of the amethyst-armored creature, but the latter continued sitting as before. It was like an old monk in meditation, motionless. The Tyrannosaurus's gaping mouth was lined with razor-sharp teeth. It was about to bite the helm.

The amethyst-armored creature raised its hand and pressed it on the Tyrannosaurus's chin in a split second.

This was the last scene Zhou Wen saw. In the next second, a light blast erupted like a volcano. The Tyrannosaurus's body and the entire palace were drowned by it.

When the light dimmed, the Cube's screen had already returned to the outside of Dubhe. It meant that the Tyrannosaurus was dead and hadn't successfully cleared the level.

The Calamity-grade Tyrannosaurus wasn't even able to withstand a single strike. What're the origins of that fellow in the amethyst armor? Zhou Wen was secretly surprised. At the same time, he was somewhat glad that he hadn't rashly entered Dubhe's dimensional zone. Otherwise, he would have been vaporized by the terrifying strike.

Although the footage inside the palace was very short, the amethyst armor on the creature left a deep impression on Zhou Wen.

The mysterious purple color appeared noble and beautiful in the radiance. It was as crystalline as the divine battle armor worn by gods, but it was impossible to see what kind of creature was inside the armor.

That armor should be at the Calamity grade, right? Zhou Wen was somewhat tempted. The armor looked like it had a very powerful defense against the fire element.

Of course, that was only a musing thought. Before figuring out the origins of the amethyst-armored creature, Zhou Wen wasn't willing to take the risk to head to Dubhe.

Although the Tyrannosaurus was killed in one strike, it finally allowed people to see the dimensional zone of Dubhe. All the major media outlets scrambled to report the amethyst-armored creature.

People were guessing the origins of the amethyst-armored creature and whether it had anything to do with the myths involving Dubhe.

Some people studied the killed Tyrannosaurus. They wanted to verify if the Tyrannosaurus was related to the dinosaurs on Earth. They hoped to crack the mystery of the dinosaurs' extinction.

Mount Mandang, also known as Fairy Peak.

It was here that the Han dynasty's Liu Bang slew the White Snake uprising and became the hegemon of history.

After the dimensional storms, Mount Mandang became an extremely complicated large dimensional zone. It contained many small dimensional zones that were somewhat similar to Dragon Gate Grotto.

This was originally under Guide City's jurisdiction, but few people came here after the dimensional storms. Even if someone came here, it was highly unlikely that they would return.

At that moment, there were five expressionless people standing in front of the Snake Slaying Monument. The person in the lead was reading the tablet text on it. It was none other than Berserker Immortal and company. "Zither Immortal, I'm counting on you," Berserker Immortal said indifferently as he looked at the Snake Slaying Monument.

Zither Immortal, behind him, responded and sat in front of the Snake Slaying Monument. He took on a zither-playing posture, but there was no zither in front of him.

Zither Immortal strummed his fingers in the air. Despite having nothing but air, Zither Immortal's fingers produced faint music from his finger plucking.

The sound of the zither was like immortal music. Even someone who didn't know music could sense the beauty of the zither music.

Accompanying this beautiful zither music was a strange sound coming from Mount Mandang. Not long after, dimensional creatures that looked like wandering ghosts walked out of the mountain, and their numbers constantly increased.

When the wandering dimensional creatures passed by Berserker Immortal and company, they didn't even spare them a glance. It was as though Berserker Immortal and company didn't exist as they headed straight for Guide High School. More and more wandering and wild ghosts rushed out of Mount Mangdang, forming a tidal wave-like army. Their numbers were uncountable.

Boom! Boom!

A terrifying sound suddenly came from the depths of Mount Mandang. Before long, a huge white snake that resembled a dragon swam out from the mountain range's depths. Wherever it passed, wandering ghosts either automatically ducked or were crushed by it.

The white snake was crystalline-white. It wasn't ugly–when it raised its head, it gave off an elegant beauty.

"I never expected that there would be a Calamity creature in Mount Mandang." Upon seeing the white snake, Berserker Immortal was somewhat surprised. He hadn't known that there were Calamity creatures here. He had originally just planned on releasing the wandering ghosts inside to attack Guide High School.

Chapter 1510 Danger

A few soldiers in charge of sentry duty were surrounding a bonfire on the roof and cooking with metal basins.

A young man held a hard pancake in his hand. He used his hand to break it into small pieces before soaking them in a bowl of boiling water. As he ate, he asked the middle-aged man beside him, "Old Gang, how long do you think we have to endure days like this?"

Old Gang said, "Don't read too much into it. If Zhou Wen hadn't come here, Guide City would have long fallen. There wouldn't even be food to eat."

"Of course I know that this is already the best situation, but we can't continue like this. My parents and sister live in a temporary building. If a dimensional creature rushes in, the consequences will be unimaginable," the young man said.

Old Gang sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about that. I heard that other places use dimensional zones as natural barriers to build human cities, but the dimensional zones in Guide City are too strange. Where do you think we can build a city?"

"That's true… What's that?" The young man suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

The few soldiers hurriedly got to their feet and looked into the distance. They saw ghosts on the streets in the distance. There seemed to be countless wraiths wandering around as they approached.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?" Old Gang rubbed his eyes and realized in horror that a ferocious ghost was already in front of him. He fell back in fright.

The ferocious ghost followed like a shadow and pounced at Old Gang.

"Old Gang!" The young soldier beside him summoned his Companion Beast saber and slashed at the ferocious ghost.

However, the steel saber transformed from a Companion Beast slashed across the ferocious ghost's body without any obstruction. It was as though the ferocious ghost was only an illusion.

The ferocious ghost pounced on Old Gang and immediately vanished. However, Old Gang's eyes changed. His eyes glowed red. It was terrifyingly strange. His body was like a puppet as he stood up straight.

"Old Gang… What's wrong…" Before the young man could figure out what had happened to Old Gang, ghosts landed.

The few soldiers brandished their weapons with all their might, but they were unable to injure the ghosts. Soon, they were pounced on by the ghosts and behaved strangely like Old Gang It wasn't just that. There were wandering ghosts everywhere in Guide City. They rushed to Guide High School from all directions, and anyone they encountered was quickly possessed by them. "What the hell are these… Ah…" There were screams everywhere. In a short period of time, all hell had broken loose in Guide City.

The dimensional creatures on Mount Mandang had special attributes. They were pure souls. Typical attacks didn't seem to have any effect on them. In a short period of time, a large number of people were possessed as they charged towards Guide High School with the legion of ghosts. The troops in charge of suppressing the ancient city were also possessed by ghosts. Not only did they stop suppressing the skeleton legion, but they also charged towards the city they were guarding.

The skeleton legion rushed out and wreaked havoc on the ground again.

At the top of an abandoned building, Berserker Immortal and company were admiring the dance of the monsters. The city was filled with screams and explosions.

"It's difficult for ordinary powers to injure soul-type creatures. Although the levels of these soul-type creatures aren't very high, it's not that easy to destroy them. Furthermore, it will be even more difficult to destroy them after being possessed. Unless Zhou Wen is willing to kill the humans that have been possessed…" Painting Immortal said with a smile.

Zither Immortal added, "Originally, just these soul-type creatures were enough to leave Zhou Wen in a terrible fix. Now that the Calamity-grade white snake has appeared, even if Zhou Wen can withstand it, Guide City will definitely fall. Hundreds of thousands of people will be possessed by wandering ghosts, turning them into monsters that are neither human nor ghost. When the time comes, Your Excellency will appear to save them. Zhou Wen will have no choice but to yield."

Berserker Immortal said indifferently, "To make a person like Zhou Wen serve me, this isn't enough. I need greater pressure to completely destroy his psychological defense."

"Do you plan on taking action personally?" Chess Immortal asked in surprise.

"Not yet. Just y'all are enough." Although Berserker Immortal felt that Zhou Wen wasn't someone ordinary humans could compare with, it wasn't to the point of him personally taking action.

From Berserker Immortal's point of view, Wang Mingyuan was worth him taking action. After all, Zhou Wen was only Wang Mingyuan's disciple. The strength of any one immortal was enough to suppress him.

"Perhaps there's no need for us to do anything. Just those soul-type creatures and the white snake are enough to make Zhou Wen collapse," Calligraphy Immortal said as he looked at the burning city. Tens of thousands of people had already been possessed by wandering ghosts. At this rate, the entire Guide City would fall in less than an hour.

Zhou Wen, Li Xuan, and company had already rushed out from Guide High School. They were alarmed when they saw the wandering ghosts everywhere on the streets.

Seeing a few wandering ghosts rush over, Feng Qiuyan drew his saber and slashed. His saber wasn't an ordinary saber, but his Life Soul. This strike sliced through the ghosts, dissipating their souls. A dimensional crystal dropped.

Ming Xiu's sword also stabbed at one of the ghosts, but it passed through its body without injuring it.

"These are soul-type creatures. Typical physical attacks are useless." Zhou Wen had seen such creatures before. They were basically pure spirit bodies. Physical attacks were useless.

Truth Listener and Chick were best at dealing with such creatures. Unfortunately, Truth Listener was still in earring form and couldn't be released. Chick was also evolving, so it wasn't able to be used anytime soon.

However, even without Truth Listener and Chick, it wasn't difficult for Zhou Wen to deal with these soul-type creatures. What really worried Zhou Wen was the people who had been possessed by ghosts.

Their bodies were controlled by the ghosts as they attacked their family. They were in a dilemma as to whether to kill them or not.

Due to the lack of defensive barriers, Guide City had fallen too quickly. There were too many people possessed by ghosts. This was a thorny issue.

"Old Zhou, these dimensional creatures are too f*cking annoying… The Zhang family is best at dealing with these things… But it's too late to hire them now…" Li Xuan's physical attacks weren't of much use against the ghosts. All he could do was use Planet Devourer to devour them.

However, there were too many people here. Many people had been possessed by ghosts, and Li Xuan couldn't devour them all. It would be too troublesome to find the ghosts one by one.

It was even more troublesome with the possessed ones. Li Xuan was thrown into a dilemma.

With a thought, Zhou Wen summoned Great Brahma.

The Terror-form Great Brahma appeared behind Zhou Wen like a four-faced, eight-armed Buddha. He was as huge as a mountain.

Great Brahma had four sides. There was no sadness or joy on the front, and the back was enveloped by a black hole. The left side smiled meaningfully, while the right side wore a look of pity.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 1511 Zhou Wen Defends the City

Apart from Great Brahma's back, the other three faces didn't have powerful offensive strength, but that wasn't an absolute fact. They had different effects.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Wen used Great Brahma's frontal defense and the terrifying black hole-like power on its back. He seldom used the power from both sides.

Now that he saw many soul-type creatures, he could use the power of the compassionate face on the right.

Ordinary people couldn't see the Terror-form Great Brahma at all, but as his lips trembled, he let out a chant.

Everyone heard the chanting of Buddhas. Although it wasn't loud, nor did it have a mighty force, preventing ordinary people from feeling much when they heard it, it was enough to make the wandering ghosts let out painful wails. The low-level ghosts couldn't withstand the pain and tumbled on the ground. White gas spewed out from their bodies as they quickly dissipated.

The ghosts within a radius of dozens of kilometers were reduced to white mist amidst the chanting, filling Guide City with rising white gas. Many dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs landed on the ground, but the average person wasn't affected. "Hmph, I never expected Wang Mingyuan's disciple to master the ability of deliverance. He must have obtained Wang Mingyuan's help," Zither Immortal said with a frown.

Deliverance powers were the nemesis of ghosts. Among the Buddha race, only a few experts had mastered them.

Wang Mingyuan was only a subsidiary of the Buddha race, not a member of the Buddha race, and he didn't seem to have mastered the ability to provide deliverance. Zither Immortal and company never expected Zhou Wen's Terror form to have a deliverance ability.

From their point of view, Wang Mingyuan was a vassal of the Buddha race. Zhou Wen had definitely received Wang Mingyuan's help to master such an ability.

The people who had been possessed by ghosts also spewed out white gas. After the white gas spewed out, they fainted. Instantly, the entire city was littered with unconscious humans.

The people who weren't possessed by the ghosts and the people who had woken up from their unconsciousness saw Zhou Wen floating in midair. The Buddha-like chanting came from him.

As for the wandering ghosts that rushed over from all directions, once they entered the range of the chanting, they quickly turned into white mist. No one could approach the vicinity of Guide High School.

The wandering ghosts rushed over like a tidal wave. They looked extremely terrifying, but none of the ghosts could take half a step into the pool of destruction.

"Zhou Wen is still the best. As expected of a human expert who can enter the Cube's ranking. He's just too powerful."

"How terrifying. It's like a Buddha's descent into the world."

"With Zhou Wen guarding Guide City, perhaps we really don't have to think of a way to flee to other cities."

Upon seeing Zhou Wen's might, everyone felt a lot more at ease. Many people who were in a panic gradually calmed down.

The troops that Li Xuan had just established were organized again to suppress the skeleton legion that rushed out of the ancient city.

Everything seemed to be improving. Just as everyone thought that the crisis was about to end, they saw a behemoth approaching from afar.

The moonlight-like brilliance easily attracted everyone's attention. They saw an extremely huge snake with a body seemingly carved from white jade. It separated from the tide of ghosts and swam over. Just raising its head was enough to make it look like a skyscraper. The surrounding buildings looked as laughable as toys.

Everyone retreated in horror. Even if such a huge snake's level wasn't high, its physical strength was something ordinary people couldn't match.

"The Buddha race's deliverance powers are effective against ghosts, but against a creature like the white snake, they won't be able to gain the upper hand. The chances of a Terror-grade against a Calamity-grade are slim," Chess Immortal said.

The white snake flicked its tail and split a thirty-story building. Half of the building flew up and smashed in the direction of Guide High School. Humans scrambled to dodge it.

Such divine might left the humans dumbfounded. The power of its tail was already so terrifying. The students and ordinary people in the school fled the school in horror.

The entire school or even the school's surroundings would be reduced to ruins if half a building smashed down at such terrifying speeds. Death was a certainty if they didn't escape.

However, with their speed, it was impossible for them to escape the school before the building flew over. Seeing the building's shadow rapidly envelop the school, everyone revealed looks of horror and despair. Some of the more timid girls screamed and cried.

Boom!

Zhou Wen appeared in front of the building as Great Brahma's god-like body appeared. He sat cross-legged behind Zhou Wen.

The face at the back had already turned around. Eight palms blocked the building. At the same time, the black hole at the back constantly devoured the crumbling building, preventing the fragments from shooting out and injuring the people in the school.

Everyone looked at Zhou Wen and Great Brahma which was floating in front of him as though they were looking at an immortal with a demonic slave.

"What powerful Terror transformation power! Thankfully, he's only at the Terror grade. If he were to advance to the Calamity grade, I'm afraid that the white snake wouldn't be his match," Painting Immortal exclaimed.

"The stronger he is, the more beneficial it will be for us. In the future, it will be much more convenient for you to use Zhou Wen," Calligraphy Immortal said.

"That's precisely the logic. When he's no match for the white snake in battle, His Excellency will take action. He won't have a choice when it comes to submission," Chess Immortal echoed.

As the few of them conversed, the white snake had already leaped up. Its body was huge, but its speed was unbelievably fast. It transformed into a huge white beam that rushed toward Zhou Wen in a bid to devour him.

Just the shockwave caused by its body breaking through the sound barrier shattered the glass in the surrounding buildings. Many buildings collapsed from the shockwave as trees were uprooted.

Thankfully, there were only ghosts. Otherwise, countless people would have died. Zhou Wen remained levitating in midair without any intention of dodging. He watched as the white snake arrived in front of him.

Just as Chess Immortal and company were wondering why Zhou Wen didn't dodge, they saw a golden light flash from Zhou Wen's body that met the white snake.

Before anyone could see what had happened, they saw that the white snake's head had been chopped off. Blood spewed out like a fountain as Zhou Wen remained floating there without even moving his hand.

As for Great Brahma behind him, he extended his palm and grabbed the white snake's head and body, preventing it from falling and smashing into the humans below.

"Long live Zhou Wen!"

"He's utterly invincible!"

"So other than Human Sovereign, there are other humans who are this powerful. I was right to stay in Guide City." "Pui! You stayed because you couldn't leave. Do you have the shame?"

Everyone was amazed at Zhou Wen's strength. The four immortals—Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting—as well as Berserker Immortal were somewhat alarmed. Although they felt that the white snake might not necessarily be able to kill Zhou Wen, they never expected the white snake to be killed by Zhou Wen in one strike. It was a Calamity creature after all. It was already shocking enough to be at the Human Realm.

Chapter 1512 Drawing A Circle

"He actually has such a powerful Calamity-grade Companion Beast?" Chess Immortal said in surprise.

"There's nothing strange about that. Earth is rapidly changing. Humans have already found a way to break through to the Mythical stage. It's not impossible for top humans to obtain a Calamity Companion Beast," Berserker Immortal said indifferently.

"Your Excellency, are we still going to other dimensional zones to lure dimensional creatures over?" Painting Immortal pondered.

"There's no need. We aren't familiar with the other dimensional zones, so we might not be able to lure the dimensional creatures out. Besides, we don't have that much time. It's best we meet Zhou Wen directly." Berserker Immortal glanced at Zhou Wen in the distant sky and slowly walked towards the stairs.

Zhou Wen placed the white snake down and quickly realized that there was a Companion Egg and a dimensional crystal in its body.

The Companion Egg was obviously the white snake's Companion Egg. As for the dimensional crystal, it was crystalline like a dragon pearl with a white snake shadow swirling inside-a skill crystal.

Zhou Wen grabbed the Companion Egg and dimensional crystal, but the Companion Egg was a little too big. It was half the height of a person and was crystalline like white jade.

Zhou Wen took out his phone to see what attributes the white snake Companion Beast had.

Although it had been sliced apart by the Golden Wyrm Scissors' Clean Break, it was a Calamity-grade Companion Beast after all. Its skills hadn't seemed strong when fighting the Golden Wyrm Scissors, but that didn't mean that it wasn't strong. There weren't any useless Companion Beasts; their potential was fully dependent on the user. Therefore, Zhou Wen placed great importance on this Companion Beast.

Before taking out his phone, Zhou Wen suddenly frowned slightly and turned to look in a direction.

Five people came from afar. They walked in the crowd and didn't look too conspicuous, nor did they have any special auras.

However, for some reason, the people in front of them would subconsciously make way for them as though this was how it should be.

Are these fellows human? Zhou Wen carefully observed them and didn't discover any dimensional creature auras on them. They looked like humans.

However, Zhou Wen didn't hear their heartbeats. How could humans not have a heartbeat?

Zhou Wen realized that the arrival of the ghosts and the white snake might not be as simple as a break-out of an ordinary dimensional zone.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong?" Li Xuan saw that Zhou Wen's expression wasn't right. He traced his gaze and saw Berserker Immortal and company.

Feng Qiuyan and Ming Xiu also walked over. Clearly, they had also sensed the abnormality of the five of them.

This was because even the soldiers in charge of guarding the area subconsciously made way and didn't stop the five of them.

"What's their background?" Li Xuan looked at Berserker Immortal and company and whispered to Zhou Wen.

"I don't know." Zhou Wen shook his head slightly.

Berserker Immortal and company came nearby just as Li Xuan was about to say something

"Who are you?" Li Xuan stared at them and shouted.

Berserker Immortal ignored Li Xuan and walked to Zhou Wen. He stopped and looked at him. "I have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news. I don't like tragedies," Zhou Wen said.

"I can help you clear Dubhe's dimensional zone and enter the Cube's rankings to take first place," said Berserker Immortal seriously.

"Who do you think you are? Even Immortal from the League of Guardians wouldn't dare say such things in front of us brothers," Li Xuan said with a twitch of his lips.

"Immortal? He's nothing. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, Immortal can only bow before you," said Berserker Immortal.

"Do whatever you need to do. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense." Li Xuan naturally didn't believe it. Apart from Human Sovereign, the publicly recognized strongest faction on Earth was the League of Guardians.

As for the Holy Land's strength, no one knew.

"What's the bad news?" Zhou Wen asked again.

Berserker Immortal said, "The bad news is that you will have to spend more time thinking about how to manage Earth's Federation in the future."

"That's interesting. How may I address you?" Zhou Wen narrowed his eyes and asked Berserker Immortal.

Although Berserker Immortal didn't emit any aura and looked like an ordinary person, Zhou Wen sensed extreme danger from him.

"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is what I can give you," said Berserker Immortal.

Li Xuan was amused as he walked over and patted Berserker Immortal on the shoulder. "Brother, you sure are good at bragging. Did you not ask around who us brothers are before you came? There's no one on Earth who can brag in front of us brothers. Go do whatever you need to do."

When the four immortals saw Li Xuan patting Berserker Immortal's shoulder, they were immediately enraged. Just as they were about to attack, they were stopped by Berserker Immortal with a wave of his hand.

"I know you are considered top figures in the Federation. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince you without showing some feats." Berserker Immortal gestured at Painting Immortal.

Painting Immortal tacitly understood and walked in front of Zhou Wen and summoned a brush. Then, he drew a circle on the ground. He stood in the circle and looked at Zhou Wen. "I'll stand here motionless. You can try your best to see if you can injure me."

Others might not understand, but Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised when he saw the circle drawn by Painting Immortal.

The circle drawn by Painting Immortal was actually similar to his Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation. They were both periodic spatial skills.

The circle drawn by Painting Immortal was static. It borrowed the space on the ground and was far inferior dynamically to Zhou Wen's Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation.

It could be said that the skill Painting Immortal used was actually one level lower than Zhou Wen's.

"Zhou Wen, wasn't your Companion Beast quite powerful? You can try to see if it can injure me." Painting Immortal stood in the circle with his hands behind his back. He looked like a sage as though he didn't take Zhou Wen seriously.

Zhou Wen naturally knew that a weapon like the Golden Wyrm Scissors was useless against such periodic spatial skills. Even if he released the Golden Wyrm Scissors, it would only circle around the ring and not injure the Painting Immortal inside.

Of course, Zhou Wen was good at such skills. It wasn't difficult to crack Painting Immortal's skill.

"Why? Don't you dare?" Painting Immortal provoked Zhou Wen smugly when he saw him remain motionless.

"Coach, this level of competition isn't worth you personally taking action. Let me do it." Feng Qiuyan suddenly stood forward, hoping to request permission to fight. The Immortals didn't think much of humans to begin with. Even Zhou Wen was only of value to them because he had been born on Earth. Without eyeing Zhou Wen, would they even think anything of Feng Qiuyan?

Since Feng Qiuyan addressed Zhou Wen as Coach, he was clearly a student taught by Zhou Wen. How could Painting Immortal take a fancy to him?

"Young man, this isn't playing house. It will kill you," Painting Immortal said coldly.

"Give it a try." Zhou Wen saw the determination in Feng Qiuyan's eyes as though he was very confident, so he nodded in agreement.

Chapter 1513 My Saber Is Very Fast

After receiving Zhou Wen's approval, Feng Qiuyan turned around and walked towards Painting Immortal.

Painting Immortal was at the Hell level. He could only barely produce strength at the Human Realm due to his possession of an ancient corpse; otherwise, it would be destroyed by Earth's rules as punishment. He was still at the Calamity grade after all. If Zhou Wen were to fight personally, he would be more concerned with the might of the Golden Wyrm Scissors.

However, Zhou Wen had actually allowed his student to fight him. From Painting Immortal's point of view, this was an insult.

If not for the fact that he still needed Zhou Wen, he would have already punished him, letting him know how terrifying Calamity-grade Immortals were.

Zhou Wen ignored what was on Painting Immortal's mind. Zhou Wen knew that his strength wasn't stronger than his from the circle drawn by him.

Instead, Feng Qiuyan's initiative to fight and confidence surprised Zhou Wen.

I gave Feng Qiuyan the coin with the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation. He should have figured out something, right? If he can figure out the trick to it, he might be able to crack the looping space. Zhou Wen looked at Feng Qiuyan, hoping to see what he had figured out from the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation.

However, Zhou Wen didn't have much hope. It hadn't been long since he had given Feng Qiuyan the coin. Even if Feng Qiuyan figured out something, it couldn't be much.

Feng Qiuyan stopped outside the circle and held his saber in his hand. He looked at Painting Immortal and said, "My saber is very fast. You have to be careful."

Painting Immortal laughed and said in contempt, "Feel free to slash. Even a thousand slashes won't be able to touch my clothes, much less one."

Feng Qiuyan had already warned him. If Painting Immortal continued being careless, it was not on him. He immediately stopped talking and held his saber as he stared at the Painting Immortal in the circle.

"Impressive aura. I hope your saber can live up to that aura." Painting Immortal thought nothing of Feng Qiuyan.

Looping space was a high-level skill. Even among Calamity-grade creatures, there weren't many who grasped such a skill. Even for spatial-type creatures, it was difficult to say if they could master such a skill. How could it be easily cracked by a human?

Feng Qiuyan didn't say a word. He drew the saber as the look in his eyes changed.

Fast-it was unbelievably fast.

Ignoring the fact that ordinary humans couldn't see it clearly, even Immortal Painting saw a blur. The blade seemed to vanish from his vision.

However, Painting Immortal didn't take it to heart. No matter how fast the saber was, it would be trapped in the looping space. It was impossible for it to injure him.

What a fast saber! It's not easy for a Terror-grade human to master such a fast saber. I never expected Zhou Wen to have such a person by his side. Berserker Immortal was somewhat surprised.

However, he was more delighted. Having both Zhou Wen and Feng Qiuyan under his control would be a great boon to the establishment of the Immortals' new faction. Berserker Immortal also didn't believe that Feng Qiuyan's saber could break through the looping space.

"You can… be a little faster…" Painting Immortal was still teasing Feng Qiuyan, but before he could finish his sentence, his expression changed.

The golden circle on the ground magnified, forming a strange distorted space. It was as though a painting was circling around the Painter Immortal.

Feng Qiuyan's saber slashed at the distorted picture as the saber beam sliced right through and went for Painting Immortal without stopping

Painting Immortal quickly retreated upon sensing the anomaly, but he was still half a beat too slow. The clothes on his chest had been sliced open by the saber, leaving a deep wound that reached his bones.

If he hadn't reacted in time and retreated a distance, the saber would have already sliced his body into two.

"How is that possible!" The four immortals widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at Feng Qiuyan.

That was a looping spatial skill. It wasn't impossible to use some special ability to pass through. However, to be able to slice open the looping space with a saber-a Terror-grade human at that—made them almost believe that they were dreaming.

Even Berserker Immortal looked at Feng Qiuyan in a daze, momentarily at a loss for words.

Zhou Wen was also somewhat surprised. From Feng Qiuyan's performance, he knew that Feng Qiuyan had almost comprehended his Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation and had even independently created a way to crack it.

Of course, this method of cracking was very ineffective against the variable Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation.

However, the effect on the static looping space used by Painting Immortal was excellent.

"So that's all you have after bragging all day." The glance and faint smile that Li Xuan gave Painting Immortal nearly made him find a hole to hide in embarrassment.

Feng Qiuyan returned to Zhou Wen and said in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Coach. I've already tried my best, but I still haven't completely understood what you taught me. My strike is still lacking and has let down your teachings."

From Feng Qiuyan's point of view, the looping space that Painting Immortal had set up was much simpler than the Minor Heavenly Cycle Killing Formation that Zhou Wen had instructed him to comprehend. He had actually failed to crack it cleanly and even gave Painting Immortal time to react. This was a huge oversight.

"You haven't had much time to practice. To be able to do so is already considered a pass. Keep up the training when you return. Don't make the same mistake again." What else could Zhou Wen say? All he could do was tell him to train well in the future.

In any case, Zhou Wen really didn't have anything to teach him. Feng Qiuyan's learning aptitude was just too good.

Lacking? Hadn't had much time to practice? A pass? Needs more practice? Painting Immortal and company were somewhat dumbfounded. If it wasn't for the fact that the ancient corpses didn't have any expressions, his face would have long twitched and deformed.

Berserker Immortal frowned as he looked at Zhou Wen and Feng Qiuyan. He thought to himself, This Zhou Wen seems somewhat different from the intelligence I have on him. It's really strange that one of his students has such standards.

Immortal Painting and company even suspected that Feng Qiuyan wasn't a student taught by Zhou Wen, but Wang Mingyuan's disciple.

It was shocking enough to have such standards even as Wang Mingyuan's disciple.

However, from Feng Qiuyan's attitude towards Zhou Wen, the respect and worship he showed were definitely not faked.

"Everyone, the performance has ended. If there's nothing else, go do whatever you need to do," Li Xuan said with a smile.

Painting Immortal and company looked at each other before looking at Berserker Immortal. Their emotions were somewhat odd, especially Painting Immortal. His eyes were filled with embarrassment and indignation.

He was a mighty Hell-level powerhouse, but he was nearly split into two by a Terror-grade human. This was a great humiliation.

Berserker Immortal thought for a moment and gestured at Calligraphy Immortal.

Painting Immortal had already lost, so it wasn't appropriate for him to take action again. Furthermore, Berserker Immortal could already tell that Feng Qiuyan was very knowledgeable about looping spaces. At Painting Immortal's present strength, even if he tried to attack again, it probably wouldn't be of much use considering how his abilities were restrained.

Calligraphy Immortal tacitly understood and took a step forward. He came in front of Zhou Wen and said, "I have a technique that I wish to seek your advice on."

At that moment, Calligraphy Immortal's attitude towards Zhou Wen was very different from before-he no longer had that condescending contempt from before.

Chapter 1514 My Sword Is Very Slow

"Coach, take a break. There's no need for you to take action against such a goon," Ming Xiu said as he walked forward.

Ming Xiu knew from watching that Berserker Immortal led the group of five. Since Berserker Immortal hadn't personally taken action, Ming Xiu didn't wish for Zhou Wen to weaken his stance.

Furthermore, after watching Feng Qiuyan's battle, he felt his hands itch. He also wanted to try out his insights.

Zhou Wen nodded slightly. Ming Xiu stood in front of Calligraphy Immortal and said with a faint smile, "You don't have to be afraid. Although I studied under Coach, I'm much weaker than the previous guy. My sword is also much slower than his saber. As long as your reaction speed isn't too bad, you should be able to block it."

Calligraphy Immortal no longer underestimated his enemy like Painting Immortal. After all, the possibility of another Feng Qiuyan appearing was relatively lowthere couldn't be many existences among the humans like Feng Qiuyan. It was already impressive for any one of the six families to produce one or two such existences. Zhou Wen was just one man. It was already shocking to have Feng Qiuyan by his side. It was unbelievable that there would be another similar expert around him.

Even so, Calligraphy Immortal didn't underestimate his enemy. He thought to himself, He and that Feng Qiuyan were taught by Zhou Wen. Although one uses a saber and the other uses a sword, they probably study the same path. They should be focused on speed. Even if he's bluffing me and his sword techniques are actually faster than Feng Qiuyan's, I can block his attacks as long as I don't underestimate my enemy like Painting Immortal…

Calligraphy Immortal thought it through and was about to say something to Ming Xiu when he suddenly saw Ming Xiu draw his sword and thrust forward. The sword was unbelievably fast, almost as fast as Feng Qiuyan's saber.

Ming Xiu's sword wasn't slower than Feng Qiuyan's saber. In fact, his first few strikes were slightly faster than Feng Qiuyan's. However, Feng Qiuyan was a battle maniac. The more he fought, the stronger he became. This was a trait Ming Xiu didn't possess.

If Ming Xiu wanted to defeat Feng Qiuyan, he could only rely on the first few strikes. If he couldn't defeat Feng Qiuyan after five strikes, there was basically no need for him to continue fighting. He would definitely lose.

When Calligraphy Immortal saw how fast Ming Xiu's sword was, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly. No matter how scheming you are, it's useless in front of absolute strength.

In a split second, Calligraphy Immortal summoned a book. The page opened and faced Ming Xiu's sword.

Once the sword was clamped by the book, the text in the book would be imprinted on the sword, sealing the power of the sword.

Humans ultimately only know some tricks… Calligraphy Immortal watched as his book was about to grab Ming Xiu's sword.

Calligraphy Immortal's eyes widened the next moment. He had clearly calculated the speed and timing. The Book of Seal was just short of clamping Ming Xiu's sword when he realized that Ming Xiu's sword was a little slower than he had expected. He had already closed his book, but Ming Xiu's sword hadn't arrived.

It was too late for Calligraphy Immortal to open the pages again. The sword that looked a beat slower suddenly experienced a speed burst and flashed like a stream of light.

Pfft!

Ming Xiu's sword stabbed into Calligraphy Immortal's chest as the latter watched helplessly as the sword penetrated him, his body failing to dodge. This was because his strength was limited by the ancient corpse, preventing him from unleashing his fastest speed. He couldn't dodge the strike that was so close to him.

Ming Xiu's successful strike instantly made him retreat gracefully. It was like a pleasing piece of art.

Calligraphy Immortal had intended to severely injure Ming Xiu while taking the blow, but he wasn't given the chance. Ming Xiu had already retreated, leaving only the wound on his chest.

Although his wound looked terrifying, no blood flowed out due to the lack of blood in the ancient corpse. Zhou Wen and company had already noticed this when Feng Qiuyan injured Painting Immortal.

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me. I've already said that my sword is very slow. You don't have to be so fast. Just slow down and you'll be able to block it," Ming Xiu said coolly as he sheathed his sword.

Calligraphy Immortal was even more depressed than Painting Immortal from before. At the very least, he had used his Art of Cage Etching, but he hadn't used any of his abilities. He had lost for no reason.

Apart from being depressed, Calligraphy Immortal and company were even more surprised.

Without a doubt, Ming Xiu was also a most talented and top-notch human like Feng Qiuyan. However, such human powerhouses were top-notch existences among the other major factions on Earth.

For example, Ya from the Holy Spirit Association and Immortal from the League of Guardians. These were existences that even the dimension knew of.

Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan couldn't be much weaker even if they were weaker than Ya and Immortal. Even Berserker Immortal found it unbelievable that such people were Zhou Wen's students.

They originally imagined that Zhou Wen was the weakest amongst Wang Mingyuan's disciples. After all, Zhou Wen was alone, and the others had their own massive factions.

However, from the looks of it, just Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan had made Zhou Wen a faction that couldn't be underestimated.

"Interesting." Only then did Berserker Immortal seriously size up Zhou Wen.

Although Berserker Immortal hadn't advanced to the Apocalypse grade, he had once defeated an Apocalypse-grade creature. He indeed looked down on Zhou Wen and Earth's strength and qualifications.

Berserker Immortal originally wanted a puppet. He wasn't too interested in Zhou Wen as a person.

But now, Berserker Immortal had no choice but to seriously examine Zhou Wen. To be able to produce students like Ming Xiu and Feng Qiuyan, Zhou Wen's strength seemed to be severely incongruent with the intelligence he had previously obtained.

The four immortals looked at each other, momentarily at a loss.

Before coming here, they didn't even think much of Zhou Wen, believing that anyone could suppress him.

However, two Immortals had already been defeated by Zhou Wen's students. Even though their strength was suppressed, they still felt humiliated.

Zither Immortal and Chess Immortal hesitated and didn't take action. Calligraphy and Painting Immortal weren't weaker than them. They couldn't even defeat Zhou Wen's students, so how could Zither and Chess Immortal dare challenge him?

They had witnessed Zhou Wen using his Companion Beast to kill the white snake with their own eyes. Their bodies weren't any stronger than the white snake's. If the ancient corpses were destroyed, exposing them to Earth, their bodies would suffer serious injuries.

The four immortals couldn't help but cast their gazes at Berserker Immortal. After all, this trip was mainly led by him. They were only assisting him, so they had to wait for him to make the decision.

Berserker Immortal looked at Zhou Wen and company. He wasn't as depressed as the four immortals. Instead, he was somewhat excited.

The stronger the people around Zhou Wen were, the faster he could establish a new Immortal faction after they came under his control. The strength Zhou Wen and company displayed was almost comparable to the League of Guardians.

I want these people for sure. Berserker Immortal stared at Zhou Wen with a burning gaze.
