Within the Wasteland World Gap, Zhang Yu's Shadow Doppelganger entered the depths. Along the way, he could see some traces of damage caused by the cultivators' mana and magic items.
Some places that looked like obstructions were obviously forced open by external forces. On the ground, there were deep trenches that could be used as large rivers, extending all the way to the innermost area.
Observing from the remnants, the resistance here gradually turned from orderly to disorderly. This meant that the side that was attacked had a very tight defense at the beginning, but as the battle continued, the resistance gradually weakened.
At this moment, a mountain range that was as tall as a city appeared in front of him. He flew through one of the cracks that had obviously collapsed. Then, his eyes widened. What appeared in front of him was a huge basin.
However, it was already full of holes and was unrecognizable. He could only vaguely make out the original appearance. There were huge skeletons lying everywhere. Occasionally, he could see some human-shaped skeletons. Some of the skeletons and clothes were still intact.
His figure slowly floated down. His gaze landed on a cultivator who was sitting cross-legged there. He still maintained his appearance when he was alive. From the side of his face, hair, and clothes, it was not hard to tell that he was a native of Tianxia. There was a hole in his chest. He could see the scenery behind him.
However, this was not the cause of his death. With his eyesight, he was able to discern with a single glance that this person seemed to have activated some kind of divine ability before his death, causing his consciousness, soul, and Origin Spirit to escape from his body. Moreover, he never returned, leaving behind only an empty shell.
He walked forward. Not long after, he saw the corpse of another cultivator. However, this person was standing in the same place. His gaze was focused in front of him. His eyes could still reflect a sharp reflection.
There was a sword on his back. However, this sword had already been shattered. It was only relying on the last bit of strength of its owner to gather all the fragments and leave them in the sword case on his back.
This should be an Ancient Xia sword cultivator. Although he died here, there was no doubt that he killed his opponent.
Zhang Yu turned around and followed the sword cultivator's gaze. There was a huge skeleton that was as tall as a small mountain. This should be the opponent of this cultivator.
At the same time, he also saw a small line of words left on the hard bones:
"On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month of the sixty-year cycle, my comrades and I have chased the remnants of the demons to this place. After the battle, we will kill all of them and live up to your expectations. At this point, the countless years of conflict between Shenxia and the alien cultivators have come to an end …"
He pondered for a moment. Judging from the handwriting, those huge skeletons seemed to be the masters of this place. They were not the strange beasts of the Barren Continent that he had initially thought of, but the strange beasts that belonged to Tianxia.
Whether it was Gu Xia or the current Tianxia, there were different kinds of cultivators. However, those who could truly transform into human form were only the True Dragon and a few others. This generation had always prided themselves as cultivators and had never looked down on other kinds of cultivators.
In fact, the other Otherworldlings were indeed quite different from them. Even though the latter could speak and cultivate, they still looked like Otherworldlings.
According to the rare records, the foreign species had colluded with foreign enemies to fight against Gu Xia in the early years when they were at their peak. However, they were eventually destroyed by Gu Xia. This war happened a long time ago, and it seemed like the storm had already subsided.
However, it seemed like the battle had not stopped.
He looked at the ten huge skeletons in the basin. Perhaps these were the last of the Otherworldlings of Gu Xia. Now, they had all been killed here.
However, although the attackers had won, it was obvious that none of them had been able to walk out in the end.
He raised his sleeves and bowed to the Daoist. He thought to himself, "I will inform Tianxia of your actions and record it down."
He lowered his sleeves and with a thought, a gust of sand blew over and buried all the cultivators' corpses. He planned to come back and deal with them after this matter was over.
At this moment, he raised his head and flew up again. He arrived on top of a huge mountain that had half of its side collapsed.
This was the highest point of the basin. There were still some broken palaces left here. However, after circling around, he did not find any jade scrolls or books left behind.
In fact, if this was the place of a Otherworldling cultivator, then this situation would be reasonable. This was because most of the Otherworldlings of Gu Xia passed down their cultivation methods through their own flesh and blood. There was no need for written records at all. This was also the difference between them and Daoist cultivators.
At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the huge skeletons again and saw that a piece of the top of each skeleton had been dug out, revealing a hole the size of a fist.
His eyes flashed slightly.
Every ancient Xia alien cultivator, as they cultivated for a long time, would cultivate a piece of "Literary Bone" in their bodies. On the Literary Bone, a type of bone carving symbol would naturally appear, and it could be revealed through magic power.
Only those of the same kind could understand the meaning. They would obtain a certain amount of cultivation experience and methods from the owner of the Wen Bone. At the same time, it was a good material for Gu Xia to forge weapons.
Obviously, the Wen Bone was not taken by the Otherworldlings themselves. The cultivators who attacked this place had all died here. It was impossible for them to take it away. Then, it must be done by someone who came later.
Although this world gap did not have a restriction formation to protect it, it was not a place that could be entered casually. And those who could understand the value of these things could not be those Otherworldlings.
He focused his eyes and looked. The marks on the top of the bones were left behind recently. It was about two hundred years ago. This was most likely done by Bi Ming.
Bi Ming had always been suspected to be a hybrid between a human and a Otherworldling. The hybrid here was not the offspring of a human and a Otherworldling. Instead, it was the integration of the Otherworldling's blood into the body to cultivate and obtain a part of its power. During the time of Gu Xia, this was once a flourishing Daoist sect.
This person would not have taken the top of the bones for no reason.
As the traces left on the parietal bone were more obvious, he reached out and caught a wisp of qi. After identifying it, he followed it. Not long after, as his body shook slightly, he had already escaped from this world gap.
In his eyes, there was an obvious and clear mark in front of him. It seemed that after Bi Ming escaped this time, he was not as hesitant as before. Instead, he had a clear goal.
He thought for a moment. Then, his shadow dissipated. In the specks of starlight, a Star Cicada returned. Then, it flapped its brilliant wings and followed again!
On the other side, in the cave of the island, after Yan Ziquan surrendered, Chen Song and Meng Jianzhen did not let down their guard. They immediately took out the seal of suppression that they prepared in advance and applied it on him.
Throughout the entire process, Yan Ziquan did not resist at all. He allowed his mana and qi to be restrained. From this moment on, other than being able to maintain the necessary vitality and being able to speak, his every movement was driven by Chen Song and Meng Jianzhen.
Chen Song and Meng Jianzhen brought him out of the cave and returned to the flying ship very smoothly. During this time, they did not encounter any more accidents.
Chen Song placed Yan Ziquan on the side of the cabin, not letting him out of his sight. He said, "Fellow Meng Jianzhen, let me report the situation here to Head Xuan."
Meng Jianzhen nodded and said, "Of course."
She was a little envious. Xuanxiu's Xuntian Dao Zhang was really too convenient. Even if one was thousands of miles away, one could travel at any time. It was a pity that True Cultivators could not use this item. Otherwise, she would be able to report the situation here to her master.
But at the same time, she was also a little worried. Xuanxiu and True Cultivators were already at odds. If they obtained this item, it might lead to a greater rift.
Now, there were very few Xuanxiu in Yujing. Even if there were, they would be transferred to the Chao Prefecture to be in charge of contacting the various continents. She thought that when she returned, she would persuade her master to recruit more Xuanxiu.
At this time, the flying ship shook slightly and slowly took off, flying in the direction of the Dongting Prefecture.
Chen Song explained, "This place is closer to the Dongting Prefecture. We will return to the Dongting Prefecture first. I hope Fellow Meng does not mind."
Meng Jianzhen said seriously, "Just as Fellow Chen said, this is Tianxia's matter. I will not be so unreasonable."
Chen Song saw that she did not mind at all and nodded. He came in front of Yan Ziquan and said, "Yan Ziquan, you said that EsGod wants to use the body of a Daoist cultivator as his mortal body. Let me ask you, why does he want to use a Daoist cultivator?"
Yan Ziquan looked at him in surprise, then smiled and said, "We Daoist cultivators consume energy and pills. Our bodies are pure and untainted, so EsGod likes us even more. Isn't this obvious?"
Chen Song shook his head and said, "No!"
Yan Ziquan looked at him and smiled. "What's wrong?"
Meng Jianzhen also felt that it was strange and did not know what was wrong with this sentence.
Chen Song said in a deep voice, "My Dongting Prefecture has been dealing with the indigenous EsGod for more than a hundred years. Even now, many of those indigenous EsGods still think that we Tianxia cultivators are Tianxia's descendants or gods. Even if they say that they are Tianxia's people, they still think that we are powerful descendants of gods because they do not understand the concept of Daoist cultivation. "
When two different races communicated, they would usually use their own understanding to communicate. This was because the indigenous EsGods did not have the concept of Daoist cultivation, so they did not have a complete concept. In other words, they rejected the idea that mortals could have the power of gods without the help of EsGod.
Chen Song continued, "It is almost impossible for an EsGod to occupy the body of another descendant of gods or EsGod. It is also very difficult. Only when they realize that a Daoist cultivator is originally a human would they be able to do so."
Meng Jianzhen thought about it and understood what Chen Song meant. This understanding seemed very simple, but it was actually a change in cognition. This could even shake the foundation of EsGod's existence.
And such a change was not something that could be done in a short period of time. It would take a long time.
This meant that EsGod had come into contact with a Daoist cultivator before and had a certain understanding of them. It was even more likely that EsGod had once occupied a Daoist cultivator's body.
Thinking of this, her gaze became serious.
Yan Ziquan looked at Chen Song and said, "I did not know that you thought so much, but I also do not know much about EsGod, but …"
He smiled and said, "If I were the two of you, I would not be concerned about this matter."
Meng Jianzhen stared at him and said, "Yan Ziquan, what do you mean?"
Yan Ziquan smiled and said, "The two of you must know that I, Yan Ziquan, am only a Daoist cultivator who has cultivated the Primordial Spirit Reflection Shadow. With my means, how could I do such a thing in the territory guarded by the three Xuan Zun …"
Although Meng Jianzhen had already guessed it, she was still shocked. She took a deep breath and said, "You mean …"
Yan Ziquan did not answer but smiled and said, "The two of you must protect me well. If I were that person, I would definitely find a way to remove all traces."
