"Can you tell which part failed?" Xu Zii asked.
Tian Shi hesitated for a mont, eventually nodded, and replied, "My initial idea was to use a Secret Technique to refine an object that could defy the heavens and alter fate.
Simply put, it’s to help a person return to the past and then change their own destiny.
But this involves not just the principles of space-ti, but also the River of Fate.
I’ve always been unable to find the integration point between the three."
"Have you ever heard of a rare object called Void Wood?" Xu Zii asked.
"What is that?" Tian Shi shook his head slightly.
"In one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands, the Void Valley, there is a type of very rare tree, which is the Void Wood.
It is said that once rged with Void Wood, one’s body will beco attuned to the Attribute of Space-Ti.
It could help you better control the power of space-ti."
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Tian Shi was slightly taken aback and said, "I have heard of that Void Valley, but I don’t know where it is?"
"Great Void Holy Sect," Xu Zii replied with a smile.
......
Life in Cangyan Town was filled with monotony, because of that battle, Tian Shi had now beco the town’s hero.
As for Xu Zii, since she seldom took action, naturally, no one paid her any heed.
Although the Cultivation system of the Mythical Era was similar to that of the Era of Emperors,
the nas were still sowhat different.
Tian Shi, for instance, would typically be called a "Heavenly Being."
By inquiring among the townspeople, Xu Zii learned as well.
Although the strongest in Cangyan Town was only Lin Bao of True Vein Realm,
there was, in fact, another expert in the shadows.
The townspeople usually referred to him as the Demon-Subduing Arhat, who was said to be a Heavenly Being as well.
This Demon-Subduing Arhat wasn’t really considered one of Cangyan Town’s own; it was said he had once been found gravely injured not far from town and was saved by soone.
As a way to repay the favor of saving his life, the Demon-Subduing Arhat decided to settle down here and promised to take action on behalf of the townspeople three tis a year.
......
The spring breeze blew over Cangyan Town, and all things were reviving, taking root and sprouting.
The willows on both sides swayed their enchanting figures.
After inquiring along the way, Xu Zii arrived at a very secluded courtyard within the town.
She knocked on the door and walked into the courtyard.
A bald man dressed in white robes, looking very refined, was sitting in the center of the courtyard.
Waves of Haoran Qi echoed above the courtyard, causing the space to vibrate with a "bang bang" sound.
Endless Spiritual Energy surged, and the man in white robes sat with eyes slightly closed, exuding a strong sense of Haoran Righteousness.
At that mont, the man slowly opened his eyes and asked Xu Zii, "Is there sothing you need?"
"I’ve just co to Cangyan Town and heard about you," Xu Zii replied. "I hope you’ll forgive my bold intrusion."
"Leave if there’s nothing important," the man said, shaking his head.
At that mont, a flash of brilliance crossed through Xu Zii’s eyes.
She swung her right hand, and Spiritual Energy coalesced into a dragon-like form, attacking the man head-on.
The man in white slightly furrowed his brow, threw a punch, and blue Spiritual Energy converged on his fist. The dragon roared as it struck.
He grunted and his figure stepped back two or three paces.
"To find soone like you here."
The man in white looked at Xu Zii with surprise, speaking gravely.
Xu Zii smiled slightly; she could sense that the man in white was just at the Esteem Vein Realm in cultivation.
"I an no harm; I just wanted to ask you so things."
"What things?" the man in white asked guardedly.
"Regarding the current state of the human race," Xu Zii replied.
"You don’t know?" The man in the white robe looked at Xu Zii with so astonishnt. "Where do you co from?"
"That’s not important," Xu Zii shook his head and said, "You only need to answer my question."
"I don’t know much either, after all monsters run rampant in this world, and it’s basically very difficult for any humans to act alone," the man in the white robe slowly explained.
"Small towns like Cangyan Town are quite nurous in this world.
Everyday, old towns are destroyed by monsters, and new towns are established.
To the north of Cangyan Town, there’s a tribe.
The na of the tribe is ’Li,’ and I co from there. It’s also the largest human tribe I have ever seen."
"Can you tell about the situation of the tribe?" asked Xu Zii.
"Sorry, I can’t," the man in the white robe shook his head slightly.
"Then I won’t disturb you," Xu Zii smiled, turned around, and left the courtyard.
......
In the days that followed, Cangyan Town returned to tranquility once more.
Until one cold morning, a beast’s roar woke the townspeople who were still asleep.
When everyone ran out, they saw a lion with nine heads appearing in front of the town.
The lion walked upright, its nine heads forming a circle to observe its surroundings.
The lion was covered in red flas, and a beast’s might belonging to the Emperor Pulse Realm pervaded this part of the world.
All nine of its heads were spewing flas, and at the mont, the fire had already enveloped half of the town.
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Bao felt an overwhelming beastly might that prevented him from even thinking of resistance.
"I’ll hold it off; you organize everyone to evacuate and leave," he declared.
"Mayor, we won’t leave, this is our ho," so people shouted from the side.
"Not leaving ans a certain death," Lin Bao caught the person by the collar and roared, "Rember, only by living can you have everything."
"Uncle Lin, I’ll help you," Tian Shi also shouted from the side.
As a few people charged towards the Nine-Headed Lion, the rest were responsible for organizing the evacuation of the won, children, and the frail.
The once peaceful town beca chaotic in an instant.
"People of this era really live in a tight spot, no one knows if they will face death or accidents when they wake up the next day."
Xu Zii watched the Nine-Headed Lion, his gaze slightly focused.
"The show should co to an end now."
......
At this mont, the sky above was a scene of indescribable chaos.
The main fighters were still Tian Shi and the Nine-Headed Lion, and Lin Bao could only harass from the sidelines.
After all, he, a man of the True Vein Realm, could not participate in such a battle.
Although Tian Shi was powerful, the Nine-Headed Lion was, after all, a being from the Emperor Pulse Realm.
And as a monster from the Mythical Era, it was almost completely overwhelming Tian Shi.
At this mont, from the direction of the town, currents of Haoran Righteousness were surging.
The Demon-Subduing Arhat arrived treading on air, his bald head bearing six scars of consecration, his white robe flying and fluttering about.
In his right hand, he held a dragon-headed staff, around which red light was gathering.
Watching the battle between Tian Shi and the Nine-Headed Lion, he took a step forward and directly appeared behind the Nine-Headed Lion, aiming for a pincer attack.
Unfortunately, the Nine-Headed Lion’s field of vision was almost without blind spots, and two of its heads spewed out blazing flas.
The flas in mid-air morphed into the shape of fire dragons, rushing towards the Demon-Subduing Arhat.
The Demon-Subduing Arhat snorted coldly, the light on his dragon-headed staff intensifying, his hands lifting above his head.
When he brought it down with force, the two fire dragons were instantly annihilated and dissipated.
The resounding Haoran Righteousness reverberated at the edge of the world.
