290: Chapter 174: All Personnel Have Arrived 290: Chapter 174: All Personnel Have Arrived At this mont, at the entrance to the Inheritance Land, two strapping warriors clad in blue and purple armor stood guard, holding giant long spears, one on each side.
Their faces were obscured, helts covering their entire visage, revealing only a pair of eyes flickering with purple light.
Yang Yangyang and Xun You had encountered the Star Guard before, but it was the first ti for Xiao Shun and Hu Peng.
When they were subjected to the emotionless gazes of the Star Guard, they couldn’t help but shiver, feeling a chill in their hands and feet.
Brother Hero and Ye Cang took the lead into the narrow entrance, followed by Yang Yangyang and Xun You, with Xiao Shun and Hu Peng trailing at the end.
The entrance, which is called narrow, was actually a bit larger than before, now about the size of a bedroom door.
This was specially expanded by Zhang Xiaoman for simple reasons, first, to facilitate entry and exit, and second, because the original opening was too small for so materials to be brought in during the base’s refurbishnt.
Actually, there are two entrances to the Inheritance Land, the other being the one Ji Xiaoqi and Xun You used before, located far away near a lakeside, and it is currently seldom used.
As the four newcors approached this space, they were all struck by the scene before them.
Although Yang Yangyang and Xun You had been here before, it didn’t look like what it does now.
Back then, this hall was nothing more than a dilapidated, abandoned ruin, also soaked in seawater for so many years; damp and muddy.
Although one could vaguely make out its forr grandeur, it was more of a ss.
Now, after a series of renovations by Zhang Xiaoman, the debris had been cleared away, carpets laid down, and banners and decorations hung on the walls, transforming the place completely, giving it an air of mystery and antiquity.
For Xiao Shun and the others seeing this spectacle for the first ti, it was even more astonishing.
Outside, this place was nothing more than a collapsed ruin, but who could have imagined that beyond that unassuming little door, there lay a different world?
The sight was very much in keeping with the scene described in “The Peach Blossom Spring”: “At first, it was very narrow; only one person could pass.
After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.”
In the hall, next to the central Stone Pillar, a Star Guard stood at intervals, spears in hand, figures ramrod straight, with capes bearing the symbol of the Star Alliance – the Eye of the Starry Sky.
These fellows were specifically brought in by Zhang Xiaoman.
His Star Guardian Skill could summon 4 Star Guards at a ti, up to a maximum of 8.
Besides the two guarding the door, there were six more here.
It must be said that adding six armored Star Guards to this spacious hall instantly elevated the status of the environnt, which should make persuading people later on even more effective.
At this mont, Zhang Xiaoman stood before the curved wall, his back to everyone, eyes surveying the patterns of the Three Great Sanctuaries on the wall, thinking about today’s and future plans.
Behind him stood Lin Sisi in white garnts, quietly waiting there.
This young girl now liked to stick close to Zhang Xiaoman when there wasn’t much to do, always following him around, silent, just quietly keeping him company.
Xiao Shun and the others glanced past the armored Star Guards and fixed their eyes on Zhang Xiaoman not far away.
Upon their arrival, they t Brother Hero and Ye Cang, who had co to guide them.
Although they had a pleasant exchange with the forr and were getting to know each other well, they were, after all, still new acquaintances, feeling sowhat unsettled inside.
This unsettled feeling wasn’t about worry or distrust; it’s that upon arriving in an unfamiliar environnt, people subconsciously seek out sothing or soone familiar from their past.
If one has co here at the invitation of soone else, this sense of searching would be even more pronounced.
“That…
that’s Brother Man, right?”
Hu Peng spoke uncertainly, his voice low with hesitation, for the other’s robe, decorated with the flowing light of the galaxy, shrouded their entire figure, almost preventing them from recognizing him.
Hearing the movent behind him, Zhang Xiaoman slowly turned around, while Lin Sisi, sensing his movent, also turned to face them.
The mont the four of them saw Zhang Xiaoman’s face, a burst of joy rose in their hearts, but when they saw his deanor, they couldn’t help but hesitate, not daring to approach and speak to him imdiately.
After all, tis had changed, and the aura that Zhang Xiaoman now radiated was completely different from when they first t.
In the past, although he would pretend to be a sage and had successfully bluffed them, it was all due to his display of extraordinary ans, not his inherent deanor.
But now, after becoming a true Transcendent and experiencing so many events, Zhang Xiaoman’s whole presence had completely transford.
If before he needed to rely on extraordinary ans to bluff people, now his re presence and aura could command respect from many without showing any special skills.
This was a change arising from many aspects – identity, status, confidence, strength, deanor, environnt, attire, and so on, rather than simply being an Awakener.
“You’ve arrived.”
A smile spread across Zhang Xiaoman’s face as he descended the stairs and walked towards the group at a asured pace, taking care to accommodate Lin Sisi by his side.
Now, Lin Sisi had activated her Spirit Detection Technique.
Although she could not see the world as others did, she could always see Zhang Xiaoman’s figure.
“Brother Man, long ti no see!”
They hurried forward to greet him, and naturally, they caught up on old tis.
Monts later, like Brother Hero on his previous visit, they excitedly ran off to tour the underground facility.
Though the base was still sowhat rudintary, it had all the necessary living anities, and combined with its innate mystery and tranquility away from the bustling city, it offered a unique charm.
The ti that followed was relatively dull.
The anti-gravity car went to pick up Su Fu and the others, which would take at least half an hour for the round trip.
Zhang Xiaoman took this ti to instruct the three on the skills and techniques they would be learning next.
He was very detailed this ti, describing the arrangent formulae for Teleportation Technique and Constitution Enhancent down to the exact position, speed, and stability of each Active Dark Energy Particle within the Dark Energy Field, and even the potential reactions they could have with surrounding particles, explaining everything painstakingly to them.
Ye Cang even managed to find a notebook, taking serious notes as he listened, occasionally asking questions to ensure he didn’t miss a single detail.
This scene, observed by Yang Yangyang and the others, inspired awe and fascination, prompting them to sit and listen, even though they couldn’t grasp what was being said—it all seed impressively complicated.
The thought that they, too, would soon be embarking on this path filled their hearts with intense anticipation for what lay ahead.
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t exclude them; after all, he had planned to initiate several awakenings today, and it wouldn’t be possible to go over these basic techniques individually in the future.
Now was their chance to listen and learn, and how much they rembered was up to them.
