712: Chapter 712 Canglan Conditions

[Passersby turned their heads one after another, looking at you standing dazed on the spot, and teased with a smile.]

["What's wrong with this guy? Why is he standing here dazed?"]

["Strange, it seems like he has no aura anymore."]

["Yeah, what's going on?"]

[A child boldly walked over, tilted his head, and shook your hand: "Hey, hey, hey, big uncle, what's wrong with you?"]

[You suddenly snapped out of it, looked down at the child, and then scanned the onlookers, cold sweat instantly breaking out on your back.]

[Just now... you felt as if you had drifted into that line.]

[Boundless and endless, with no beginning and no end.]

[Like a small boat drifting into an endless sea with no shore, surrounded by the vast Dao, unable to find the way you came from, nor the way to return.]

[You remembered that there were hundreds of warnings at the end of the Jade Slip, and one of them was—wandering in the Great Dao.]

[In layman's terms, that is Qi Deviation.]

[You secretly rejoiced; fortunately, you were in a crowd, not in an empty Immortal Cave.]

[Otherwise, after drifting away like that, it would be hard to say whether you could ever return.]

[You lowered your head and patted the child's head: "Thank you."]

[The child tilted his head and pouted: "Thank you is not as good as giving me a Spirit Stone."]

[You smiled and handed over a Top-Grade Spirit Stone: "Here."]

["Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle!" The child's eyes lit up, he took the Top-Grade Spirit Stone, held it in his palms, and skipped away.]

[The onlookers gasped.]

[A Top-Grade Spirit Stone, just like that, given to a child? Is this person truly generous, or truly stupid?]

[Someone in the crowd rolled their eyes and quietly followed.]

[You smiled and raised your hand, a strand of Law Power condensed into a protective Restriction, silently sinking into the child's body.]

[The man trailing the child secretly attacked the child in an empty alley.]

[But the moment he touched the child, the Law Restriction inside the child automatically activated—the trailing man's figure dissipated inch by inch, turning into nothingness.]

[The child was stunned, turned back to look at the empty alley, and scratched his head: "Huh? Someone clearly touched me just now..."]

[He looked down at the Top-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, then looked around.]

["How strange."]

[After speaking, he tucked the Spirit Stone into his clothes and skipped away.]

[On the other side,]

[You suddenly felt a force of space enveloping you, pulling you toward a certain place.]

[You did not resist, letting that space force envelope you.]

[The scene shifted, and you landed in a farmstead.]

[That's right, a farmstead.]

[A small wooden house, a field in front of the house, an orchard in the distance, and a lake.]

[There were only three women in the entire farmstead.]

[One of them had an unfathomable aura, sitting in front of the house—at the Mahayana Peak stage, she was the strongest person in the Holy Land, Fairy Canglan, Mu Canglan.]

[Outsiders generally respectfully addressed her as Immortal Venerable Canglan.]

[Another, at the Body Integration Early Stage, was picking fruit—the previous Saintess, Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land.]

[And one more at the Void Refining Late Stage; you sensed a trace of a Bloodline aura from her that was the same source as yours—the current Saintess, Holy Maiden Shen Mengqi.]

[You immediately guessed the identities of the three.]

[Fairy Canglan looked at you: "You are Qin Chen? You came for the matter of the Heavenly Palace and the Immortal Sect, right?"]

[Looking at Fairy Canglan, you somewhat regretted the bet you made with Sect Master Murong. Her aura was too strong; this type of high-status woman was not easy to fool.]

[Before you could speak, she continued: "Don't worry about that matter. The Holy Land never gets involved in such things, and certainly won't kick someone while they are down."]

["Senior naturally wouldn't do that, but wouldn't others in the Holy Land think otherwise?" you said calmly.]

[She didn't respond, looked at you, and said indifferently: "Tell me about the grievances between you and my Holy Land."]

[As she spoke, she beckoned: "Mengqi, come here."]

[Holy Maiden Shen Mengqi walked over while looking at you.]

["She is your daughter, Holy Maiden Shen Mengqi. How do you plan to take responsibility?" Fairy Canglan said indifferently.]

[As soon as these words were spoken, you immediately felt the pressure of meeting a mother-in-Law.]

[You opened your mouth and said in a low voice: "She is the daughter of me and Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land? But I have never had a relationship with her."]

["Bloodline auras cannot be faked, right?" She looked at you.]

[You cursed inwardly—damn it, which bastard made me take the blame?]

[After thinking for a moment, you straightened your body and said seriously: "Senior, today is the first time I have met Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land. How could we have a daughter?"]

["It is rumored that there is an Immortal Artifact called the Time Treasure Box, which can briefly travel through time and space." Fairy Canglan looked at you calmly, "If you can hand it over to me, let alone the matter of bullying the Saintess, even if you asked the Holy Land to help you destroy the Heavenly Palace, I would agree."]

[Hearing this, you suddenly realized—no wonder you also felt that some things were suspicious.]

[So there was such an Immortal Artifact.]

[But you felt something was wrong and quickly asked: "Senior, if I had this Immortal Artifact, why would I specifically use it to bully the Saintess?"]

["Even at the Mahayana Peak stage, one cannot unleash the full power of an Immortal Artifact. I guess something went wrong, causing you to arrive in the wrong time and space, and you just happened to save her then." She looked at Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land.]

[Shen Tongtong, Saintess of Canglan Holy Land nodded: "You did indeed leave right after that, staying for only half a day, saying you had important matters to attend to."]

["Half a day?" Your mouth twitched.]

[After a pause, you muttered in a low voice: "Strange, what do I need this Time Treasure Box for? And I don't even know where it is!"]

[After saying this, your eyes suddenly lit up, and you quickly shut your mouth.]

[Fairy Canglan looked at you and said seriously: "You must have intended to go kill someone."]

["Understood," you nodded, "I must have been going to kill the Flame Emperor."]

[After a pause, you added, "After all, with his current strength, even if I reached the Mahayana Peak stage, at most I could only die together with him. Only the Time Treasure Box can kill him."]

[Speaking of this, you quickly asked: "The Time Treasure Box is so powerful; if someone else obtained it, how could it be possible to snatch it back?"]

["Immortal Artifacts have spirits; they cannot be forced." Fairy Canglan frowned and looked at you.]

[You nodded, but your heart was churning with stormy waves.]

[In fact, ever since Sect Master Murong told you about the Great Dao Divine Ability, you knew you couldn't kill the Flame Emperor and Venerable Tianming—the Great Dao Divine Ability of these people could not be defended against, which meant you could only die together.]

[Then there was only one method left—the Time Treasure Box.]

[In fact, there were other ways, but you just didn't know them yet.]

[You looked at her: "Senior, do you have any traces of the Time Treasure Box?"]

["Yes."]

["Where is it?"]

["You." She looked at you.]

[Your face sank—isn't this nonsense?]

[But you immediately thought of something more dangerous—if people knew you would possess the Time Treasure Box in the future, wouldn't you become a target for everyone to hunt and kill?]

["Dare I ask, Senior, who else knows about this?" you asked nervously.]

[She looked at you and smiled indifferently: "Rest assured, everyone who knows about the Time Treasure Box is here."]
