The old man in black robes was beaten black and blue by Ye Meier, and his protective black aura was almost dissipated. Looking at Zhang Shaozhong's smiling but chilling face, he completely cowered.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
He hurriedly called out, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, the violent witch next to him would throw another punch.
“We…we are from the Yin Sha Sect. Our ancestors passed down three fragments of the ‘Boundary Void Stone,’ which are the iron plaques in your hands…” the black-robed elder said, panting.
"Boundary Stone?"
Zhang Shaozhong raised an eyebrow. "What's it for?"
"According to... according to ancient records, when the three Boundary Stones are combined, they can... can temporarily open a 'door' to other realms..."
The old man in black robes had a glint in his eyes.
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat!
A gateway to other realms?
He subconsciously looked at Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier.
Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier also trembled slightly. They looked at each other and saw the shock and... a hint of indescribable complexity in each other's eyes.
They come from another world!
If this Void Stone can truly open a portal to time and space, does that mean... it's possible for them to go back?
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Zhang Shao continued to press, "Where is the third fragment?"
The old man in black robes looked mournful: "We don't know either! The sect originally had three pieces, but one was lost during the turmoil decades ago. It was the one you... uh, got in the black market last time. We finally found out about this one at the auction, and we were determined to get it, but..."
As a result, he ran into Zhang Shaozhong, a tough nut to crack.
"What conditions are needed to open that 'door'?"
Ling Qingxue suddenly spoke, her voice cold and clear, with a hint of barely perceptible urgency.
Sensing the unfathomable aura emanating from Ling Qingxue, the old man in black robes dared not conceal anything: "Ancient records state that it requires the fusion of three Boundary Stones, and... it requires a massive amount of energy to activate, at least the power of a Nascent Soul level, or... or special energy of the same level."
Nascent Soul level?
Zhang Shaozhong frowned.
He is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Although his chaotic energy is special, the amount is still insufficient.
Ling Qingxue is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and Ye Meier is at the Demon Core stage (equivalent to the late Golden Core stage). Even if the three of them are combined, it would probably be difficult.
Moreover, and most importantly, the whereabouts of the third fragment are still unknown!
"Does your Yin Sha Sect have any clues about the third fragment?" Zhang Shaozhong asked, unwilling to give up.
The old man in black robes hesitated for a moment, glanced at the menacing Ye Meier, and whispered, "There is... there is an ancestral precept that has been passed down, which says, 'When the three stones return to their places, the land of fallen stars will open a sliver of light'... But we have been searching for over a hundred years and still have no clue where the 'land of fallen stars' refers to..."
The Land of Fallen Stars?
Zhang Shaozhong noted down this keyword.
After asking for more details and confirming that this was all the old man knew, Zhang Shaozhong casually knocked him unconscious, tied him up with a few others, and handed him over to Mr. Zhou, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, to deal with.
This kind of cult member is just right.
Back at the villa, the three of them stared at the two black iron plaques on the table, which were almost joined together, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent.
I initially thought the iron plaque was just a key to a hidden treasure, but I never imagined it would involve such a huge amount of money!
"The Gate of Time and Space..."
Ye Meier broke the silence first, looking at the iron plaque with complicated emotions, then at Zhang Shaozhong and Ling Qingxue, "If we could go back..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Their world contains their past cultivation, power, grudges... and the path to a higher level.
Earth is, after all, just a "starter village".
Ling Qingxue lowered her head, her long eyelashes drooping down, obscuring the emotions in her eyes, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Zhang Shaozhong felt a tightness in his chest.
He had long known that the two women were of extraordinary origin and that they might leave one day, but he never expected that day to come so soon in this way.
He took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Hey! Why think so much! Who knows where the third token is! And even if we collect them all, we can't activate them with our current cultivation! It's the Nascent Soul level, something like Elder Long's level, we're far from being able to!"
He walked over, put one arm around Ling Qingxue and the other around Ye Meier, and said in an exaggerated tone, "The most urgent thing is to cultivate hard! Quickly improve your cultivation level! Qingxue, you have to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible! Meier, you also have to work harder! When we're all awesome, we can go wherever we want and come back whenever we want! This Void Stone can be considered a spare key!"
Ling Qingxue raised her head, looked at Zhang Shaozhong's feigned relaxed smile, her eyes softened, and she softly hummed in agreement.
Ye Meier flashed her signature seductive smile again, poking Zhang Shaozhong's chest with her finger: "That's right! You think you can just run away with me? It's not that easy! You'll have to serve us well, kid! Besides, that 'Starfall Land' isn't even a shadow of us yet, we might never be able to gather it all in this lifetime!"
That's what they said, but the news of the "gateway to time and space" was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples in the hearts of the three of them.
The days that followed appeared no different from before.
Eat when you want to eat, drink when you want to drink, play games, go shopping, and occasionally feed the iron plates with chaotic energy, watching the gaps between them get smaller and smaller.
But behind the scenes, the atmosphere of cultivation has become noticeably stronger.
Ling Qingxue spent even longer meditating and adjusting her breathing. Her cultivation at the peak of the Golden Core stage had begun to loosen, and she seemed to be preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Night Enchantress no longer indulged in games all day long, and began to refine her magic core more seriously, absorbing all kinds of energy.
