In the last life, Qi Zhiheng was a low-level cultivator with poor personal quality in the Xuanyue mainland, which was respected by martial arts. He was expelled from his home and became a small lan...
Qi Zhiheng touched his nose, which was bleeding from being hit: "It seems that teleportation won't work."
The teleportation was incredibly fast. Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian crashed into a wall. They wiped the blood from their noses and looked at each other.
Yang Yitian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Qi Zhiheng poked his head: "You're still laughing at a time like this."
Yang Yitian suggested, "Why don't we go into the space and take a look? Maybe we can escape it."
Qi Zhiheng had the same idea in mind, and he took Yang Yitian's hand and entered the space.
Seeing that he could safely enter the space without the restrictions imposed by the teleportation talisman, Qi Zhiheng felt somewhat relieved.
"I wonder how those people who didn't leave the island disappeared." Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng observed the situation outside together.
"This time, we can also take the opportunity to observe the situation outside." Qi Zhiheng took a chair and sat down, waiting for the seabed to sink.
Yang Yitian asked, "Are we going to wait here until the island rises again?"
"It depends on the situation." Qi Zhiheng took out the document and looked at it again. The claim that finding the main hall would allow them to obtain the item was probably nonsense.
If this information is fake, then everything makes sense. If this person knew what to do after the main hall was built, how could this information still be sold? It would have been taken by the person selling the information long ago.
If this information is genuine, then the owner's intention in selling it appears sinister. It's highly likely that the process involved significant danger, and the buyer wanted someone to take the risk.
If this information is genuine, how did the person who bought it know without having tried it themselves? Or is the rapid appearance of these island ruins related to this person?
Yang Yitian also sat down and discussed the ruins with Qi Zhiheng: "By the way, that formation just now seemed to be from the cultivation world." Thinking of this, he ran into the pavilion to look for that familiar document.
He quickly found two jade slips and presented them to Qi Zhiheng: "These are from these two books. I took a look at them when I was studying the talisman set. If that's the case, then that Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable should be a cultivator, right?"
Qi Zhiheng took the two jade slips and examined them with his soul power. Well, he knew nothing about formations and couldn't understand them...
Qi Zhiheng coughed twice and said, "That's highly likely." He took out the information on seeking the Dao and looked through it again, but he couldn't see any problems with the follow-up. People's impression of seeking the Dao was just a vague summary.
The Seeking Dao Spiritual Venerable had no partner, but some of his brothers' descendants lived with him on the island. His brothers of the same generation did not live to his age.
Even his two apprentices did not live as long as he did.
The scene outside the space shook even more violently, and Qi Zhiheng knew that the island ruins were about to sink completely.
It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous, but there's no point in being nervous now.
Yang Yitian grabbed Qi Zhiheng's sleeve, his eyes fixed on the situation outside: "Will everything be alright outside?"
Qi Zhiheng patted his hand to reassure him: "Relax, maybe this is an opportunity for us. Aren't you curious about what's in the sea?"
"To be honest, I'm a little curious." Yang Yitian chatted casually with Qi Zhiheng to ease his somewhat tense mood.
Time passed second by second, and no one knew how much time had passed when the world outside, which had been pitch black, suddenly flashed with a white light.
Yang Yitian gripped Qi Zhiheng's arm even tighter. No one knew what would happen if they were outside at this moment.
Just then, the moon beast suddenly came down.
Qi Zhiheng looked at the moon beast with some confusion and asked, "Senior Moon Goddess, is there something you need?"
The moon beast held the nearly complete boundary stone in its hand and said, "I can sense the aura of the boundary stone."
"Is there a boundary stone on this island?" Qi Zhiheng stood up.
“I didn’t feel this before.” The Moon Beast took two more steps forward and said, “The Boundary Stone started reacting from the moment the white light appeared.”
What does this mean? It means that the white light before and after it appeared were not in the same space.
Qi Zhiheng recalled that some people had entered the seabed but failed to find the ruins. If the ruins and the area of Chu Hai's sea were not in the same spatial location, then it was understandable that they couldn't find them.
Qi Zhiheng took a deep breath to calm himself. If he could find this last Boundary Stone, he could leave the Xuanling Continent.
"Senior Moon Goddess, do you know what the white light that appeared ahead is all about?" Qi Zhiheng mainly wanted to know if it would be dangerous for people to be in it.
The moon beast shook its head and said, "That should be a spatial passage. I can't say for sure whether it's dangerous or not. It mainly depends on whether the passage is stable or not."
Indeed, after all, those people who sank with the island have disappeared without a trace. Who can guarantee that this passage wasn't the reason?
As time passed, the white light outside gradually disappeared, returning to the original darkness.
The shaking has stopped.
"Have we reached the bottom?" Yang Yitian asked Qi Zhiheng.
Qi Zhiheng stood up and said, "We should have arrived. I'll go out and take a look."
"I'll go too!" Yang Yitian stood up and followed suit.
Qi Zhiheng stopped him, saying, "You wait here! I'll go out and check the situation." Without waiting for Yang Yitian's reaction, he went out.
Qi Zhiheng stood on flat ground and could feel that the shaking had stopped.
After observing for a while and confirming that there was no problem, he went in and brought Yang Yitian out.
The surroundings were still much the same as before, but there was now an array on the ground.
"A teleportation array." Yang Yitian squatted down to examine it.
Qi Zhiheng let out a breath and said, "Then perhaps we can get out."
Yang Yitian stood up, pulled Qi Zhiheng to a spot, and said, "This should be the position this time."
Qi Zhiheng smiled and said, "Judging from the teleportation array that appeared here, the array you saw earlier might be correct. This should be the right path."
The two held hands and teleported out together.
I originally thought that this teleportation might send me into the sea, so I even wrapped my whole body in spiritual power.
To everyone's surprise, when they were teleported out, they found themselves surrounded by air, sunlight, and sea breeze.
Having been in darkness for so long, the light here was a bit too bright. After a short while, the two of them were able to see their current situation clearly.
They were standing on the top floor of a clock tower, where a large bronze bell hung.
This is the bell tower where they found the array in the ruins, though there are some differences.
For example, the bronze bell hanging on the beam was something they couldn't see when they were in the ruins. Even the railings, floors, and walls of the bell tower all seemed to have changed drastically, completely losing all traces of history. They weren't exactly brand new, but they looked like they had been built for some time, yet because of the good materials, they still looked quite new.
There was hardly any moss, seaweed, or shellfish on the wood.
"Look down!" Yang Yitian exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the scene below.
The once dilapidated city seemed to have reverted to its appearance thousands of years ago. Not only had the buildings lost their old look, but even the streets had become vibrant again.
They stood at the highest point of the entire island, looking down at the bustling scene below, filled with people coming and going.
"Are we seeing a ghost?" Yang Yitian's eyes widened.
Qi Zhiheng said, "Now is not the time to discuss these things. I think we should leave here first." If there are really people here, then there can't be no one in this palace.
There's just one thing: I don't know if their flying artifacts will work.
Qi Zhiheng frowned and said, "We'll use the Concealment Pill and the Invisibility Talisman."
The two quickly stuffed the Concealment Pill into their mouths and then affixed invisibility talismans.
The two auras then disappeared.
Somewhere in the palace.
An old man opened his somewhat cloudy eyes.
He stood up and said to the people outside, "Someone come here!"
"Spiritual Lord, what are your orders?" The two spiritual cultivators guarding the door immediately knelt down.
The old man said, "We have guests visiting. I'll go greet them. You go and have someone prepare a banquet."
"Yes!" After receiving the order, one of the two spiritual cultivators stepped back and headed towards the kitchen.
The old man's hair was gray, but his body was not hunched. His face had some wrinkles, which gave him a more otherworldly and venerable air.
He stepped out of the room and walked towards the clock tower.
Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian quickly walked towards the door. Qi Zhiheng had already tried, and flying artifacts simply couldn't fly here, just like on the island ruins.
Qi Zhiheng was becoming more and more curious about this mysterious island. Logically speaking, let alone a cultivator with a false core, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not achieve this level. Could it be that this Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable was an extremely powerful array master?
Given the current situation, he could only proceed from here first.
Once they exited the clock tower, they encountered the first group of people.
These people, with smiles on their faces, did not see Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian, and simply walked past them.
Qi Zhiheng frowned. These people looked really strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.
After running for a while, Qi Zhiheng sensed an aura belonging to a Spirit Lord approaching their location.
Qi Zhiheng couldn't help but feel nervous. If the people in this city were still alive, did that mean that the Seeking Dao Spirit Venerable might also be alive?
He couldn't be sure what the other party thought of them, so he had to speed up his journey.
Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian did not choose to use telepathy. If the other party was also a cultivator, their telepathy might be overheard by the Spirit Venerable who was coming this way, making it difficult to hide.
The aura behind them followed them precisely in the direction they were coming from.
