"Holy shit, what does this an?"
Zhang Bin was truly stunned, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets. He studied it closely for a long ti, but he still couldn’t unravel any secrets. His mind was a muddled ss. This was clearly an ordinary stele, so how could it fold, and how could the pattern on it change so drastically?
Perhaps this is a treasure map. It must be hiding the most magical treasures. I might make a fortune this ti! I must figure out the secret of this picture and find the treasure. Hehehe...
After examining it for a while longer, he finally stored the stele in his Dragon Pool. His most precious treasures were now all kept on a cruise ship inside the Dragon Pool. He had, of course, teleported the cruise ship—which originally belonged to Red Leaf—inside. It was spacious, with plenty of rooms, making it perfect for storing treasures.
"Eh... What’s this? A statue?"
Finally, after examining all the treasures on the shelves, Zhang Bin’s gaze fell upon a peculiar statue in the corner.
The statue was only two feet tall, depicting an old man with a black beard in black robes. It exuded an extre aura of malevolence. He sat cross-legged, seemingly in ditation or cultivation. A vast aura emanated from him. Just by sitting there, he seed to be the center of the world, the center of the universe, as if Heaven and Earth themselves revolved around him.
"My God, this is just a statue—how can it exude such a vast aura?" Shock appeared on Zhang Bin’s face. Only powerful cultivators could emit such an aura, not a lifeless statue. Could this statue be alive? Could there be so secret hidden inside it?
Zhang Bin’s heart pounded in his chest. He imdiately activated his Spiritual Eye and stared intently. Incredibly, his Spiritual Eye’s penetrating vision was ineffective; he couldn’t see inside the statue at all. He couldn’t see through even the slightest bit of it.
"How is this possible?" Zhang Bin’s face was a mask of shock. His Spiritual Eye’s penetrating vision was now very strong, capable of seeing through dozens of ters of solid stone. Only a true Magical Treasure should be able to resist his gaze. But this statue didn’t emit the aura of a Magical Treasure, so why couldn’t he see through it?
This statue must hold an incredible secret. I have to find out what it is! Zhang Bin shouted excitedly in his heart.
He imdiately picked up the statue and examined it closely. It weighed about five hundred kilograms and was exquisitely detailed, looking almost like a real person. There was even a vertical third eye on its forehead. When Zhang Bin stared into this eye, the eye seed to gaze coldly back at him, sending a chill down his spine. He was beginning to think the statue was a real human body—the body of an extrely powerful cultivator. This cultivator must have practiced a miraculous technique that made his body incredibly strong, granting him imnse Defensive Power. That would explain why it was so heavy.
After absorbing the Dragon Qi, his own body had beco incredibly heavy, weighing about one thousand kilograms. Normally, he used a secret Telekinesis technique to counteract his own body’s weight, returning it to normal levels. Otherwise, he would break chairs just by sitting, smash floorboards with a single step, and even crush any beauties he held.
"Senior, if you have any last words, please say them. Perhaps I can fulfill them for you," Zhang Bin muttered.
"Simple. Help completely destroy the Cheating Heaven Evil Technique."
Suddenly, the statue opened its other two eyes and stared intently at Zhang Bin, projecting a stream of consciousness into his mind.
CLANG!
Startled, Zhang Bin dropped the statue, which nearly pinned his foot. A look of utter shock appeared on his face. This statue was alive? And it could talk? What the hell, was he seeing ghosts in broad daylight?
"Young man, what is there to fear? This is just a small sliver of my consciousness, attached to this statue," the statue said coldly.
"Whose consciousness are you?" Zhang Bin asked in surprise.
"Ancestor Deception," the statue said proudly.
"What? Ancestor Deception? The Ancestor Deception who created the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill?" Zhang Bin’s eyes widened to their absolute limit. He knew that Ancestor Deception was evil to the core, a terror from the Era of the Three-Eyed Civilization who had killed countless people before finally managing to achieve Ascension to the Immortal Realm. To create such an evil Cultivation Technique, he must have been a genius of unparalleled rarity. A person like that would undoubtedly be considered a prodigy of their civilization. Yet, Ancestor Deception was regarded as nothing more than a terrifying demon from the Era of the Three-Eyed Civilization.
"Indeed. That very sa Ancestor Deception," the statue said, looking at Zhang Bin with great interest.
After a long mont, Zhang Bin finally cald down and asked doubtfully, "You created the evil Heaven-Defying Divine Skill, which allowed you to ascend to the Immortal Realm. So why would you want to destroy it? Besides, since you’re in the Immortal Realm, you must have incredible abilities. Can’t you do it yourself?"
"Hehehe..." the statue let out an evil laugh. "Kid, I don’t have ti to dither with you. Just tell , are you willing or not?"
"I certainly won’t agree if you don’t explain why," Zhang Bin said without hesitation.
"Hehehe... You’ve got guts, kid. Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you?" the statue said in a nacing voice.
Zhang Bin truly felt his hair stand on end. He knew for a fact that Ancestor Deception had consud countless people and was a demon of unimaginable terror. Still, he showed no fear. If his opponent truly had that ability, they wouldn’t be wasting ti with idle threats.
So, he said irritably, "You’re full of nonsense. Hurry up and explain everything, including what kind of secret technique you’re using to speak with . Then I’ll help you destroy the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill so that it never appears on Earth again."
"Hehehe..." Ancestor Deception laughed wickedly. "For hundreds of millions of years, no one has dared to be so arrogant in my presence. You’re the first, kid. Listen closely. This is my statue, which my descendants once worshipped and revered. Later, the Three-Eyed Civilization was completely annihilated. Other civilizations rose and fell, and they too worshipped my statue. Because of this, the statue has gathered a certain amount of votive power. Recently, soone ca to worship my statue again, pushing that votive power to its peak. Thus, I, this Evil Ancestor, used a secret technique from the Immortal Realm to project a sliver of my consciousness down here to make a little deal with you."
"Holy shit..." Zhang Bin’s eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets, and he could hardly believe his ears. What the hell? This guy projected his consciousness all the way from the Immortal Realm? Just how powerful was he? And he called himself the Evil Ancestor? Had this guy actually beco a colossal figure in the Immortal Realm?
He forcefully suppressed the astonishnt in his heart, and a sly grin spread across his face. "Hehehe... I love making deals. Go on, what kind of deal do you want to make?"
