760: Chapter 760 The Remnant Heaven's Stele

[ Inside Wuji Pavilion in the city —— ]

[ Qian Santong, the shopkeeper, held a cup of tea as he stood on the balcony, looking up at the firmament. Even though the tea had gone completely cold, he did not bring it to his lips. ]

[ Ximen Hao, the errand boy, ran upstairs, his voice tight, "Old Qian, the... the... the sky is gone." ]

[ Qian Santong did not turn his head. "I see it." ]

[ After a pause, he added, "We should be going home." ]

[ Because he received your voice transmission. ]

[ Inside the mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Sect —— ]

[ The Disciples flew up on their swords one after another, standing on the peaks to look up at the starry sky. ]

[ Sword Nameless stood with his hands behind his back at the summit of the main peak, saying nothing as he quietly watched. ]

[ Sect Master Jitian stood behind him, his voice very low, "Old Ancestor..." ]

[ Sword Nameless did not turn his head. "I see it. This Senior gave me a voice transmission. It is fine, this is a good thing." ]

[ Hearing this, Sect Master Jitian breathed a sigh of relief. ]

[ Also on the mountain peak of Wuji Peak —— ]

[ Peak Master Wuji stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the distant receding points of light. "What a magnificent display." ]

[ Nangong Xueyu stood aside, her voice somewhat tight, "Master, this..." ]

[ Peak Master Wuji nodded. "Rest assured, the Old Ancestor has already sent word. A Senior is moving Ziyang Star, and this is a good thing." ]

[ Meaty stood beside Nangong Xueyu, her one-meter-tall body tilting her head up as she softly said, "I said long ago that it was going to be moved." ]

[ Inside Linyuan City —— ]

[ The Lin Clan Old Ancestor stood in the courtyard looking up at the sky, not noticing that the teacup in his hand had tilted. ]

[ Sect Master Lin Haotian walked out quickly, "Old Ancestor, this is..." ]

[ Lin Waner followed closely behind, tilting her head up so she could not even speak a complete sentence, "This... this..." ]

[ Lin Zhantian looked up, his eyes wide round, "Sister Waner! The stars are moving in the sky! Who is pulling them!" ]

[ Lin Waner opened her mouth but did not answer. ]

[ She did not know either. ]

[ Also, above a certain mountain range —— ]

[ After a voice transmission rang in his mind, True Man Ziyang stopped his steps, looked up at the starry sky, and softly said, "In this world, some people cannot even protect their lives, while others travel while holding a star." ]

[ He glanced at the sword in his hand, shook his head with a smile, and continued on his journey. ]

[ The same shock occurred in cities, mountain gates, and wilderness areas all along the way. ]

[ Some people ran onto rooftops, some knelt and kowtowed, some stood frozen in place and forgot to continue traveling, and some tilted their heads up and muttered to themselves. ]

[ At the same time, ]

[ you sent voice transmissions to some people without stopping your pace. ]

[ You did not tell them your identity. After retracting your Divine Thought, you strolled through the starry sky while extending your Divine Thought into the three qiankun rings to begin taking inventory. ]

[ Lu Bihe was merely a Clone, and there was nothing valuable on her except for that soul banner, which was still somewhat useful. ]

[ Cai Xingchen's collection was decent, containing one hundred and twenty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures piled up like a small mountain, and two Spirit Treasures —— the Star-Shattering Banner and the Immortal-Binding Rope. ]

[ Tu Kongming was the richest, with three hundred and sixty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures likewise piled in heaps, and three Spirit Treasures —— the Reincarnation Seal, the Yin and Yang Gourd, and the Star Astrolabe. ]

[ There were also some ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasures, spirit robes, Materials, a few Cultivation Techniques, and a fragmented heavenly craft tablet. ]

[ You scanned around, and most of them were of no use to you. ]

[ Those Cultivation Techniques and Heaven And Earth Treasures were supreme treasures to those below the Mahayana stage, but they no longer held much significance for you. ]

[ The truly useful ones were the Heaven And Earth Treasures that could restore Dao origin, but unfortunately, there was not a single one. ]

[ Thinking about it, that made sense; no one would keep that level of Heaven And Earth Treasures without using them. ]

[ It seemed you would have to find an opportunity to ask Murong Changge for some. ]

[ Otherwise, who knows when thirty percent of your Dao origin would ever recover. ]

[ As you were calculating, your Divine Thought was suddenly attracted by that fragmented heavenly craft tablet. ]

[ The surface of the tablet was shattered and damaged, but you could barely make out the top four characters —— ]

[ Time Treasure Box. ]

[ Your heart skipped a beat as you continued reading downwards. ]

[ The refinement steps, Materials, and refinement techniques below were all blurry and indistinct, but those four characters were enough. ]

[ This was not a Cultivation Technique, but instructions for refining an Immortal Artifact. ]

[ A thought flashed through your mind: So the Time Treasure Box was refined by Tu Kongming. ]

[ No, it was actually refined by yourself. ]

[ Suppressing your excitement, you looked at those four characters repeatedly. The more you looked, the harder it was to hold back, and finally, you raised your head and laughed out loud: ]

[ "Hahaha..." ]

[ The laughter rippled through the starry sky without any echoes. ]

[ After finishing your laughter, you suddenly sighed again, "Sigh." ]

[ After a moment of thought, you left behind three hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, six Spirit Treasures, and that fragmented heavenly craft tablet, tossing everything else into Qin Han's spatial ring. ]

[ Taking a deep breath, you looked ahead and quickened your pace. ]

[ First three steps in a single breath, then five steps in a single breath, and finally ten steps in a single breath. ]

[ Starlight stretched into streamlines on both sides, and the sea of stars rapidly receded behind you. ]

[ On the other side, ]

[ Nine Heavens Heavenly Palace. ]

[ Clouds churned across the firmament, with pavilions and immortal halls hidden amidst the mist. ]

[ Inside one of the pavilions, four Mahayana Cultivators wore gloomy expressions, and none of them spoke first. ]

[ Those four were Venerable Tianming, Liu Xuerong, Ye Chen, and Xu Haoran. ]

[ Liu Xuerong stood by the railing, gazing at the churning clouds in the distance. The tears in her eye sockets gathered more and more, and her vision gradually blurred. ]

[ She clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently, and her body trembled uncontrollably. ]

[ The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. A fishy, sweet taste surged to her throat, but she clenched her teeth and forcefully swallowed it back. ]

[ The last time she had been this heartbroken was when the news of the destruction of the Liu Clan Territory arrived. ]

[ That time, she had crushed the clan territory with her own hands. ]

[ She opened her mouth, her voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, "Ji'er... Mother has failed you." ]

[ As she spoke, a hot tear slid down her cheek, smashing onto the jade-stone ground. ]

[ Ye Chen looked at her desolate and lonely figure, shook his head, and sighed. ]

[ Xu Haoran clenched his fists and said nothing. ]

[ A sky-peering mirror hovered in front of Venerable Tianming, its mirror surface completely blurry with nothing on it. ]

[ Frowning, he put away the sky-peering mirror, his voice low, "It cannot be found out who it is. To be able to kill both of them at the same time, this person's strength is not below mine." ]

[ After a pause, he added, "However, I calculated that Ziyang Star has been moved away by someone, and its whereabouts are unknown." ]

[ "Everything related to this person cannot be calculated by me. His attainment in the Dao of destiny is probably no shallower than mine." ]

[ "How is that possible?" Ye Chen abruptly sat up straight. "In the Dao of destiny, if you admit to being second in the entire Immortal Domain, who dares to claim first?" ]

[ Venerable Tianming glanced at him. "The Dean is no weaker than me." ]

[ Ye Chen opened his mouth, unable to speak for a moment. ]

[ "Rest assured," Venerable Tianming's voice lowered a bit more, "The Dean would not do such a thing, nor would he condescend to do it." ]

[ Xu Haoran frowned. "Can really not even a trace of Karma be investigated?" ]

[ Venerable Tianming fell silent for a moment, his expression solemn, "I suspect this person is the very same one who destroyed the Liu Clan Territory." ]

[ Liu Xuerong abruptly turned her head, her teeth shivering. "How is that possible? Then why didn't he make a move earlier?" ]

[ She had always thought that the person who destroyed the Liu Clan Territory was at most a Cultivator who had just stepped into the Mahayana stage. ]

[ After all, the Early Stage Mahayana was enough to accomplish it. ]

[ Moreover, from the Early Stage Mahayana to the Late Stage, who knew how many years lay between them. ]

[ She had Tu Kongming and Cai Xingchen accompany Yan Ji precisely to guard against encountering the person who destroyed the Liu Clan Territory. ]
