Chapter 588 New Functions of the Ancient City
After obtaining the Void Sand, the warship's "course" became clear.
Wu Shaogan looked at himself in the mirror and saw that the area in front of him was completely flat, without even a blurry shadow of a spatial storm.
This is exactly what I expected.
Zhong Cai leaned against Wu Shaogan's legs, rummaged through the sand in the mustard seed bag for a while, then took out a similar small bag and poured it into it.
The fine sand was grayish, but as it flowed down, it emitted an unusual luster. If you looked at it for a while, this strange luster would disappear, becoming blurry and hazy, as if there were chaotic lights there, making it impossible to see clearly.
Such are the unique natural treasures found in spatial environments.
This strange sight left Wu Chan and Feng Yan completely mesmerized.
Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing couldn't help but take a few more glances.
It wasn't until Zhong Cai stopped tilting that the group came to their senses.
Zhong Cai neatly tied the strap and casually tossed one of the mustard seed bags to Wu Dongxiao.
Wu Dongxiao frantically tried to catch it, as if it were a hot potato, and almost dropped it to the ground several times.
...that's just pretentious.
Zhong Cai laughed and said, "Alright, stop pretending. These are for you."
Wu Dongxiao chuckled, then raised his hand again and caught it steadily.
“I knew Uncle Zhong was the best to me…” He cleared his throat. “Uncle Zhong and Uncle Xiao are the best to me.”
Zhong Cai accepted the praise without hesitation, nodding and saying, "It's good that the brat knows."
Wu Chan and Feng Yan were stunned again.
So, the Void Sand that we finally managed to get, which was so rare, was also given to Brother Wu?
Although Brother Wu did put in a lot of effort and prepared the "bait" very well, it was Douhuang Wu who actually took the bait! With Brother Wu's current strength, even if he tried his best to obtain some, he probably wouldn't have the ability to get this much!
But... I don't know exactly how much was divided up?
Wu Chan and Feng Yan were both very curious.
But that's something I can't ask too many questions about.
·
Zhong Cai gave 180 grains, which is half the number.
After all, if that kid hadn't come out to test the waters, he and Lao Wu might not have even gotten to see that thing come out.
Now, the bait and the angler are splitting the profits equally!
Wu Dongxiao naturally scanned and checked it with his soul sense as well, and he was in a very good mood.
Although he didn't know how his two uncles would use this thing, he knew very well.
He'll probably... research and come up with something to escape.
As the saying goes, "once bitten, twice shy," this time he fell into the spatial rift and obtained the Void Sand. Even if he encounters this rift and the Heavenly Gate again in the future, he should be able to escape from their threats.
Wu Dongxiao was also pondering this in his heart.
If the same situation occurs again, try to solve it yourself if possible.
Otherwise, if I call my two uncles over, I'll definitely get beaten up.
Thinking of this, Wu Dongxiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put away the mustard seed bag.
I shouldn't get beaten up when I go back this time.
After all, the way he was thrown out and rolled around in his sorry state was enough to amuse his two uncles...
·
After the warship had been sailing smoothly for half an hour, the mirror showed that spatial energy was surging not far away, a sign of a new spatial rift appearing.
Such spatial rifts only open for a few breaths, and if the warship travels at full speed, it can catch up.
Without hesitation, Wu Shaogan steered the warship and headed there at top speed.
However, he did not let his guard down completely—many times, the "protagonist" would suddenly encounter a final danger when everything was calm.
Just as expected!
Two breaths later, the warship successfully arrived at the rift.
Just as the warship was about to leave, the energy at the crack suddenly went berserk!
However, Wu Shaogan reacted in advance and immediately turned the bow of the boat to the right.
There, a crack clearly reappeared.
The warships passed through the crevice without hesitation.
·
Zhong Cai raised her eyebrows.
If that brat "protagonist" were the only one here, he'd probably be torn apart and killed by the rampaging energy before reaching the rift, struggling desperately only when he was covered in wounds.
Hey! What a coincidence! I just happened to plunge into a new crevice! I've escaped!
Zhong Cai had a smug look on her face.
Now that he and Old Wu are here, the brat is as steady as a mountain in the warship, and won't get hurt at all.
He and Lao Wu are truly the best uncles!
That brat should thank them!
Wu Shaogan sensed Zhong Cai's smugness and, after a moment's thought, knew what was going on in his mind, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Zhong Cai moved closer to Wu Shaogan and rubbed against him.
Wu Shaogan's eyes were gentle as he continued to maneuver the warship while holding Zhong Cai's hand.
·
While the couple were gazing tenderly at each other, the warship had already sailed out of the gap.
Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and suddenly the space ahead opened up, no longer the spatial rift filled with chaotic energy, but a bright and vibrant real world.
that is……
Wu Dongxiao blinked: "They seem quite familiar."
Zhong Cai laughed and said, "Isn't it familiar? Take another look ahead."
Wu Dongxiao looked into the distance and laughed heartily, "We're back!"
Wu Chan couldn't help but ask, "Could this be—"
Wu Dongxiao answered directly, "Yes! This is our sect."
—The faint outlines of buildings and terrain not far away, aren't they the Temple of War and the Spirit Immortal Sect?!
The crack was really kind of them; it didn't even require them to make a long journey, it just sent them straight home.
·
Having just emerged from the rift, even though the journey wasn't particularly dangerous, Wu Chan and Feng Yan were constantly on edge.
And since they've all come to their own "home base," how could they not invite their friends back for a visit?
Therefore, Wu Dongxiao invited the engaged couple.
Wu Chan and Feng Yan were naturally eager to see the interior of a level nine power, so they gladly accepted the invitation.
However, this has nothing to do with Mr. and Mrs. Zhong.
Wu Dongxiao has his own peak and his own residence in his uncles' territory, so he can go wherever he wants.
After the warship carried the group into the sect, the uncle and nephew separated.
Wu Dongxiao dragged his senior brother along to entertain their friends.
The two uncles returned to Qianyuan Island.
·
After returning, Zhong and Wu went into seclusion.
The purpose of the seclusion was to integrate the Void Sand into the ancient city.
After all, the ancient city conveys the idea of being able to devour.
Moreover, even though so much Void Sand can be used to refine a great many teleportation tokens, none of them can compare to the ancient city's own ability to do so.
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan sat cross-legged facing each other.
At this moment, they are inside the ancient city, and the surrounding space is sealed off by an array, so they will not be affected by the outside world in the slightest.
However, before that...
The couple exchanged a glance.
Because they both gained some insights into space within the spatial rift, they also gained a deeper understanding of space. In particular, Wu Shaogan's understanding was more profound, which is why he was able to quickly obtain the Void Sand when he was picking it from the rift.
Now, the two carefully searched through the Void Sand.
Before long, twenty grains imbued with the aura of the laws were selected.
The chances of this kind of Void Sand appearing are extremely low, yet Zhong and Wu were able to pick out so many. The main reason for this is probably the existence of the "protagonist".
When Zhong Cai gave Wu Dongxiao the portion he had previously given away, it seemed like a casual gesture, but in fact, he had also given him half of the special Void Sand.
·
The couple each took ten grains of Void Sand, intending to use them for future enlightenment.
Then, Zhong Cai smiled and gently patted the ground.
"How much would be enough to devour?"
The idea of the ancient city was also conveyed very quickly.
It cannot be confirmed at this time.
Zhong Cai changed her question: "Is 160 enough?"
The ancient city responded swiftly as always.
That's enough.
Zhong Cai felt relieved.
That's fine.
·
The process of swallowing up ancient cities has long been established.
Zhong took out his mustard seed bag, reached inside, grabbed a handful of void sand, and gently tossed it onto the ground.
In an instant, a flash of light appeared.
It seemed as if countless hazy lights and shadows were constantly flowing, creating a misty, dazzling scene.
Once you look closely, you get dizzy and confused.
These rays of light vanished the moment they hit the ground, like fine snowflakes that melt upon contact with the earth.
The difference is that snow leaves some traces, but this void sand disappears without a trace.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan sat close together, carefully observing the changes in the ancient city.
This is their innate treasure. Even though it looks calm, if they examine it carefully, they can easily detect the surging of energy inside.
The ancient city is undergoing a rapid transformation.
Just like every time it devoured special rare and precious materials before, it was the same now, and that strange, mysterious charm belonging to space gradually filled the inside and outside of the ancient city.
The changes were extremely dramatic!
Zhong Cai was a little excited.
Suddenly, he said to the person next to him, "Old Wu, it seems there's an extra room in the ancient city!"
Wu Shaogan nodded and put his arm around Zhong Cai's waist.
In a single instant, the two appeared in mid-air, looking down at the inner city of the ancient city.
There, near the meditation palace where one contemplates heaven and earth, a new palace appeared.
Both of them vaguely understood that it could simulate a spatial storm!
This is one of the new functions brought about by the fusion of Void Sand!
At this moment, the ancient city conveyed an even stronger desire to devour.
Zhong Cai quickly sprinkled another handful of fine sand.
The ancient city continues to absorb new life rapidly.
The new palace was even more complete, and at the same time, the ancient city developed the ability to travel between different continents.
Zhong Cai's face radiated joy.
If they want to travel to other continents in the future, they will no longer need to use teleportation tokens.
As long as you navigate the ancient city, you can travel freely to and from it.
Of course, just because an ancient city can accommodate many people doesn't mean you can bring a large number of companions.
The ability to teleport is limited.
The more people there are, the longer the "cooling-off" period will be.
If it were just the Zhong and Wu couple, they could make a round trip once a month without any other expenses.
If there are no more than ten people, it will become a round trip once a year.
The number of participants ranges from ten to one hundred, and the trip takes place once every ten years, with each round trip costing a million high-grade Xuan stones.
If there are more than a hundred people, it will still be once every ten years, but not only will it cost a million high-grade Xuan stones, but for each person who exceeds one, Xuan stones will be consumed according to the other person's realm - even for the lowest realm cultivator, the Heavenly Guidance Realm cultivator, it will cost at least ten thousand high-grade Xuan stones.
More than a thousand people... The cooldown period will be a full hundred years! The consumption of Xuan Stones is countless.
