506: Chapter 504 The Hunt: A Revelation

Yang Yu and Yan Guofa left just like that.

Leaving Chu Xuan standing there, deep in thought.

Initially, upon hearing Yang Yu express that he would withstand the curses and calamities for him, and combined with the System notification that The Gloom was no longer focusing on him, he believed that everything had been taken on by Yang Yu.

But then, when he discovered that Yang Yu and Yan Guofa's rankings had disappeared from the contribution leaderboard, and were replaced by Zhang Ziyang, who had been in third place, taking the top spot...

He couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

Could it be that Zhang Ziyang took it on instead?

Chu Xuan still remembered that when he checked the official forum after slaying the Azure Dragon, he saw a Night Watcher with the title "Foundation Establishment Expert Zhang Wudi".

This person's remarks were extremely arrogant and conceited. After learning that the Night Demon in Haicheng had been killed as soon as it appeared, he even wanted to come over and challenge him.

After being retorted by others in the comments section a few times, he started arguing with people and claimed that he was about to participate in the Seed Project...

Putting all this together, Chu Xuan had an inexplicable intuition that the two might just be the same person.

However, Strange Creaturess also existed in the Cangyun World, as evidenced by the few Martial Artists in the Guiyuan Realm he had slain in the Tianxing Mountains.

And the Five Qi Guiyuan Sect was merely one of the Sects in "Dongzhou, Wu State, Tianshui Prefecture" of the Cangyun World.

If Zhang Ziyang had taken on all of this...

Chu Xuan shook his head, unable to help but mourn for this brother he had never met.

He glanced at the leaderboard casually and suddenly discovered a familiar name.

"Rank 10: Qin Shaowu (Main force in slaying S-rank Specter · Nightmare, Contribution Points: 1800)"

"Hahaha!"

A burst of loud laughter rang out, and Qin Shaowu ran over, extremely excited. "Brother Xuan, did you see? I'm ranked tenth, even Old Zhang didn't make it into the rankings!"

"I just got 1000 spirituality value, and 1 rule fragment. I've hit the jackpot!"

Qin Shaowu ran over quickly, his face full of pride and arrogance.

Chu Xuan's heart stirred slightly, a flicker of dark light flashing in his eyes as he checked Qin Shaowu's relevant information. Only after discovering that the other party did not show any "Abnormal Status" did he breathe a small sigh of relief.

However, what surprised him was that Qin Shaowu had actually already reached Rank 7, and his various basic attributes were almost at Perfection.

"But it's a bit strange. When I made it to tenth place on the leaderboard, I always felt a bit uneasy, like I was being watched by something..." Qin Shaowu scratched his head.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

However, he didn't ask any more questions about it, but instead continued to follow the threads of [Tracing Cause and Effect], scanning the surroundings with his gaze.

These threads were extremely faint, twisting and spreading in all directions as if pointing the way, but they were gradually thinning, and it seemed they would dissipate before long.

"The guidance of these threads should mostly point towards Revelation's Clones..."

Chu Xuan's eyes flashed.

Tracing Cause and Effect is only effective within a certain range. These gradually fading threads represent that these Clones of Revelation are fleeing in all directions.

It is even highly possible that the original body is among them.

Chu Xuan did not believe that Revelation could summon an Evil God Projection just by relying on Clones.

"If I chase them one by one, it might be too late. I must find the original body as quickly as possible..."

Thinking of this, Chu Xuan immediately took out the bag Qin Shaowu had given him not long ago, which still contained 100 soul crystals that hadn't been used.

Besides that, Chu Xuan himself still had some soul crystals left.

Altogether, there were 111 of them.

"System, continue to upgrade [Tracing Cause and Effect] for me!"

[Currently "Tracing Cause and Effect is at Beginner level", upgrading to "Minor Achievement" requires: spirituality value 1000~?, soul crystal 3~?]

"Upgrade it directly to the max level for me!"

Chu Xuan did not hesitate in the slightest.

At this moment, not only were soul crystals abundant, but even his spirituality value was very rich, totaling 23510 points; he could be described as wealthy and imposing.

Furthermore, upgrading a Divine Ability is similar to an Exclusive Skill; one can also obtain "exchange permissions for real attribute", so it's a win regardless.

[Accelerating your Cultivation, increasing "Tracing Cause and Effect" progress...]

Chu Xuan's spirituality value was constantly being deducted, and the colorful crystals in his hand were turning into powder one after another. Flowing light surged in his eyes, radiating an exotic glow.

About a minute later.

[You have consumed 4250 spirituality value and 22 soul crystals...]

[Your Talent is outstanding, and your Comprehension Ability is astonishing. Even without any external assistance, your Cultivation speed remains rapid. In an instant, you have reached a Realm that might take others ten years of Cultivation to achieve; you can be called a one-in-ten-thousand Genius...]

[Tracing Cause and Effect (Minor Achievement)]

[Your quantity of exchangeable real attribute + 5, currently exchangeable: 6]

Chu Xuan looked around at the threads in the void again, and immediately discovered that one of the threads was particularly distinct and extended deeper and further.

"Found you..."

A sharp light flashed in Chu Xuan's eyes, and he immediately soared into the air, looking towards the southeast where the thread extended. It seemed endless, and he didn't know exactly how far it went.

He immediately raised his hand and beckoned to the Gaga Chicken in the distance, which was holding its head high and proud, letting Tan Ziming and the others watch in amazement.

"Gaga Chicken, let's go!"

A flash of thunderous light appeared instantly.

Gaga Chicken came before Chu Xuan and said very dissatisfiedly: "How many times do I have to say it, please call me Sky-Shattering Thunder Roc!"

"Alright, Gaga Chicken." Chu Xuan leaped up, pointed southeast, and said in a deep voice: "Use your fastest speed and fly southeast!"

Gaga Chicken soared into the air, and just as it was about to leave, Qin Shaowu below reminded him:

"Brother Xuan, if you are in urgent need of soul crystals, you can go to Haicheng. We found a secret place there..."

"I see." Chu Xuan nodded.

Following that, his thoughts shifted to check his Exclusive Space. The Life Tree House taken from the Elf Race was still brewing life essence inside.

His Mental Energy probed in, and he immediately saw that in the nearly one thousand grids inside, a small portion of them had already brewed high-grade life essence.

With a thought, he took out a greed tank, filled it with about a hundred catties of the liquid, and then tossed it to Qin Shaowu below.

"This is high-grade life essence. Its main function is to break limits and increase stamina and spirit attributes, and it can also additionally increase health points limits. Besides that, after being injured, it can also be used as recovery medicine. The only side effect is that it's easy to get drunk, so don't be too greedy..."

"I'm going to hunt down Revelation. You all handle the Specter chaos here. You and Uncle Qiang drink some of this wine first to ensure your own safety..."

Leaving these words behind, Chu Xuan patted Gaga Chicken's head.

"Gaga Chicken, let's go!"

"How about you call me Thunder Roc instead..."

"Got it, Gaga Chicken."

Electric arcs shot out, flashing towards the southeast. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared from people's sight, leaving only the residual thunder light still jumping.
