Chapter 818: The Missing Link
Chapter 818: The Missing Link
After a whole night of searching, the team members finally found some useful clues and compiled them together, presenting them to the Cao Zhuanxian.
A team member reported, "The records clearly mentioned that the Master Hongfa, in order to successfully perform the foreign incantation, had placed a treasure in the Palaces Wang's possession at that time."
The records don't specify what, but it is said that this thing can be poisonous, so it is very likely to be the 'Universal Devourer'. This is related to the sea diary we found.
It was only mentioned that the Palace was set on fire during the rebellion at the Chen Pavilion, destroying hundreds of years of accumulated treasures and many archives, and many of the rebels looted the palace's wealth and fled, so it is not clear if this thing is still there now."
Cao Zhuanxian finished all the records, asking, "The 'Transcend Disc' is not recorded?"
The officer shook his head, "There is not a single related record."
Cao Zhuanxian said, "Then continue looking." The officer nodded in agreement.
Turning around, Cao Zhuanxian looked up at the high statue of the Master Hongfa, eight hundred years ago, when the Zen Sect was defeated in the struggle with the Xuan Sect, and the three Zen protectors left in different directions, one of them carrying two Zen treasures each, the Master Hongfa being one of them, and what he carried was the 'Universal Devourer' and the 'Transcend Disc'.
Even if the 'Universal Devourer' was a treasure, it was of relatively low importance, but the 'Transcen Disc' they were looking for is the 'Transcend Disc'!
There is a rumor that the Master Hongfa finally went to the Rift, but it is unlikely that this thing was taken, because it is of no use to the other world.
At this moment, a voice came from behind, "Zhuanxian."
Cao Zhuanxian turned around, seeing a person dressed in the clothes of the An Yao Pavilion, who was brought to the front. But this person's mental state did not seem very good, and upon seeing him, he forced himself to say, "Zhuanxian."
Cao Zhuanxian looked at him, asking, "What happened to Senior Shen?"
The disciple of the An Yao Pavilion looked somewhat dejected, saying, "I have already been informed by the An Yao Pavilion that it was planned to attack him, he should leave quickly, but he is unwilling to leave, he says this is good, only his death can give us a direct reason to attack the An Yao Pavilion, so that the Linax Federation cannot find enough pretext to intervene."
I did not persuade him, the officer knows, he and his family are all related to the Linax Federation, he had already been holding his breath, saying, "Senior Shen was killed last night."
Cao Zhuanxian fell silent for a while, then took off his hat.
The other team members also took off their hats, each with a serious expression, they have experienced this kind of situation before, they know when it will happen again, almost everyone is prepared.
"Bring the body of Senior Shen back, and let's continue the process."
"Yes, Zhuanxian."
But the search on the island is still ongoing, and by noon, there is a new clue. Someone brought a painting, but this is a painting that the Master Hongfa left behind when he replaced the second generation pavilion of the An Yao Pavilion, it was hung in the secret chamber of the great hall, and preserved with care, looking as if it were new.
Cao Zhuanxian let two team members help him slowly open the painting, the image is that of a young man with long hair, a slightly curved staff in hand, with a string of glass beads hanging on it, barefoot, walking towards a light.
The clothing and details in the painting were portrayed very well, even the slightly bleached places on the old clothes were clearly depicted.
He looked at the staff for a moment, quickly recognizing it to be the ceremonial staff given by the former imperial palace, but apart from this, nothing was carried.
This painting itself is nothing, but it is enough to show that the Master Hongfa at that time did not take the 'Transcend Disc', because it must be contained in a special vessel, not just thrown anywhere.
He raised his head, saying, "The thing is most likely still on the island, continue looking, and do not miss a single corner!"
On the other hand, the next day, Chen Chuan's airship had already arrived at the High Stone Island, and from above, the scenery here is indeed beautiful, the architecturally distinctive buildings with a strong foreign flavor, the curves of the roofs are elegant and rhythmic, and the stone bridge could be seen faintly through the pine and chrysanthemums, the island is planted with red flowers, the petals falling on the muddy stone paths, almost every step is a scene worth admiring.
The liaison officer arranged his accommodation in a high-positioned royal building, when the Palace left, all the attendants were left behind, they are now only managing their own island, and the rest have all abandoned.
The Great Prosperity government knows that they still have some thoughts, but they are not deliberately targeting them, because keeping this sign is still very useful.
And in another place on the island, in a small house, an old man with a carefully maintained mustache is looking at the eaves, and there are ancient lanterns in the distance, and he says to the disciple next to him, "The High Stone Island originally had a Rift, now though closed, the island's flora and water have long been polluted, producing a kind of mutation, which has a beneficial effect on cultivators, and the environmental impact, it can have a semi-effect on fighters."
In the past, many of the Palace Clan's martial generals had cultivated here. You've already absorbed quite a bit of Purity, and at this stage, you should pay special attention to the cultivation of your spirit."
Chu An asked, "Teacher, is a martial general the same as a fighter?"
The old man said, "That's right. Only when cultivation reaches this limit does one have sufficient weight and the right to speak. It's been like this since ancient times. Look at that building over there, it's currently empty, and only a fighter can live there... Hmm?"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed an airship docked on the mooring tower of that building. Although he couldn't see the whole picture, he was sure that someone was there.
Chu An also looked and asked tentatively, "Teacher, is someone... living there?"
The old man's expression turned solemn, "Yes, the person who can live in that place should be a fighter."
He examined it and after a moment of contemplation, he said with certainty, "It should be an airship from the Ocean Frontier Expansion Corporation. I heard that in these few days, the Ocean Frontier Expansion Corporation and the Canglong Corporation are negotiating with the Blade Sect of the three major overseas pavilions. Among them, the Wave Surge Pavilion has already agreed to join under the pressure of a fighter from the Great Harmony Republic. The An Yao Pavilion's Blade Sect disagreed, so they have been eliminated, and the person who took action was the same one who came. It's very likely that the person who came is the fighter in charge of this matter."
Chu An's heart couldn't help but jump at this news, and at the same time, he felt that his breathing was a bit difficult.
There were fighters in the family company, and even his father showed great respect when he saw them. Even his extremely talented older brother and sister would greet them with reverence. The few times he saw them from a distance, he could feel a deep sense of oppression, so he could understand what his teacher meant by 'weight'.
He looked at that direction with envy. At this moment, he yearned for strength more than ever, but at the same time, a thick sense of disappointment welled up in his heart. According to the potential assessment after his birth, the Third Limit was already his limit. He couldn't possibly go any further, but his older brother and sister might still have that possibility.
His entire life seemed to have been decided at the moment of his birth.
At this moment, perhaps due to the surge of emotions in his heart, it seemed as if something ethereal appeared on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
However, the old man was looking into the distance and didn't see this change on his face.
After Chen Chuan got off the airship, he went to a hot spring to freshen up. Then, he changed into a set of clothes and came to a spacious stone platform. Looking at the pink and white petals dancing in the mountains below and the surging sea in the distance, he felt his mood relax.
It wasn't just the scenery; as soon as he arrived on the island, he could sense a special field domain. It seemed to easily put people into a certain state of focus, so it was no wonder that the liaison officer said it was suitable for cultivation.
It was said that the residence he was currently in was originally the abode of a martial general who served the Palace Clan. Everything was built to the specifications of a fighter, and the materials used were very solid.
He tried it, and indeed, such a place was more convenient for his training.
He came to the center of the stone platform. The place was well-arranged, and after adjusting his breathing, he guided the Heaven-Earth Furnace breathing technique. In the midst of deep breaths, he slowly assumed the Grand Bright Style stance.
This time, since it wasn't his first attempt, he cultivated for more than two hours before slowly releasing the stance and exhaling a mouthful of scorching breath.
However, just as he was about to return to adjust and recover, he suddenly felt something. He paused and looked up at the sky, sensing that something seemed to be blocked there.
Was that... the closing of the World Ring's gap?
He thought about it. Principal Yao had told him that the World Ring might be blocked in early November, and the timing matched up.
If so, he wondered if it would have any impact on his cultivation. He retracted his gaze and quickly returned to the living room, where he expanded his biological field domain to isolate any outside prying eyes. Then, he drew the Snow Queen Saber and slashed at the air, and as the saber mark passed, a dazzling light burst forth.
But he could feel that after a while, the gap seemed to show signs of slowly closing. If the gap could originally hold for an hour or two, now it could probably only be maintained for about twenty minutes. From this perspective, the closing of the World Ring's gap did have some hindrance to him.
But that wasn't a problem; it would just require a bit more effort. However...
He placed the Snow Queen Saber across his knees and brushed his hand over the back of the blade. In the past, he had thought that the Snow Queen Saber could only slash open the gap in the World Ring, but now it seemed that it could still do such a thing. It appeared that the thing that merged with the Snow Queen Saber wasn't as simple as he had thought.
