New Chapter: Moon Anomaly
"Have you even used it before?" Wang Xuan asked, looking at the thumb-sized treasure hanging on the Primordial Spirit Chain on his wrist.
The word "zha" combined with the word "ye" stirred up waves in Ming Lun Xian Yue's hearts.
"There was probably indirect contact, but I didn't get stabbed." The Imperial Dao Spear emitted a fluctuation of consciousness, then calmed down, as if it was recalling something.
The moon has countless impact craters on its surface. Lacking an atmosphere, it appears pitch black when viewed from the surface, as if staring into a terrifying abyss, silent and profound.
The temperature difference between the surface and underground is enormous. The sun-facing side of the surface can quickly cook an ordinary person, while the cold underground world can freeze a person in an instant.
Wang Xuan was only wearing a single layer of clothing, looking quite casual, which made Ming Lun Xian Yue very envious, as they were both wearing protective suits made of special materials.
It's not that they can't withstand it, but being in harsh conditions for a long time is ultimately exhausting, which is not something they want to face.
The former crater was later sunk by warships, causing it to collapse. Meteorite fragments buried that terrifying underground world, deliberately hiding it.
A team of robots accompanied Ming Lun Xian Yue, clearing and digging along the way, allowing them to travel unimpeded.
Underground, it was dark and icy cold, like being close to hell, and then someone locked me in a pitch-black box.
"This area, along with the collapsed area on the left and the deeper cavity area, is the most dangerous zone. Although we have been here many times, we have not found anything," Ming Lun explained.
This place is strange. More than 90% of people can't see or find anything here. Only a few people can vaguely see strange circles after triggering certain unknown elements in the environment.
"A very small number of people, if they are unlucky, might fall into it," Xian Yue warned.
Wang Xuan nodded. Darkness meant nothing to him. This place was indeed strange. The space ahead looked calm, but there were distorted nodes.
It's all because he has Spiritual Heavenly Eye that allows him to see the most essential things.
He stepped into the area of extreme darkness, like a corner of a Pandora's box being opened, deeper and colder than anywhere else.
He scanned with his Spiritual Heavenly Eye, naturally able to see through everything. A wisp of Red Substance spilled from his fingertip and disappeared into a corner of the Dark Void.
Sizzle!
After the Red Substance entered, light flowed, not from the Supernatural Factor injected by Wang Xuan burning, but from the emergence of a spatial vortex.
As you can see, it is a small, special space where old scenes emerge, forming its own little world, with blurry glimpses of scenes from long ago.
"You saw the strange loop so quickly?" Xian Yue was surprised, but after looking closely, she didn't see the people in the infinite loop inside, only a spaceship breaking apart.
"It's just a fragment, a special halo space," Wang Xuan said.
Ming Lun sent a robot into the halo, but it simply passed right through it. The halo seemed detached from the world and out of place with the main world.
Wang Xuan continued forward, staring at one special node after another, injecting Red Substance into each one, activating large areas underground, causing the area to gradually brighten.
The ignition of one node after another, and the hazy emergence of one spatial fragment after another, seem to be constructing a strange scene.
"Is this a process of gradually... uncovering the vicious cycle?" Ming Lun asked cautiously, having witnessed the old scene provided by Mech Number Five.
"It's like there's a strange, extraordinary veil covering this place, and now only a corner has been lifted," Wang Xuan replied.
On the lunar surface, they Mental Communication.
Since they met, Ming Lun Xian Yue have made no attempt to hide their true feelings, admitting that in this day and age, their extraordinary abilities have severely declined, with only their spiritual energy barely able to sustain them.
As Wang Xuan ignited numerous spatial nodes with Red Substance, the vast underground world seemed to resonate, sketching out a time-space panorama.
A blinding light appeared, and in the distance, amidst the hazy scenery and faint, indistinct wails, someone seemed to be in excruciating pain and had gone mad.
"It really happened! We witnessed the process of the vicious cycle coming into being?" Xian Yue's eyes widened, her innocent and radiant face filled with astonishment, and she became cautious at the same time.
The brother and sister stood still. They knew that even the top expert among the Fallen One, Tomb, had failed in his search for Xuan and fled wounded.
"This place could be dangerous. If we get trapped inside, we might become people in an endless cycle of reincarnation, never able to escape," Ming Lun warned.
He dared not take another step. His father, Yandao, had warned him to investigate carefully, gather information cautiously, and not to actually venture in.
"The strange circle is more blurred and dimmer than before. Will the strange circle here also end after the extraordinary event ends?" Xian Yue asked.
"Can we go in?" Wang Xuan secretly asked the Imperial Dao Spear. He was genuinely curious about the so-called strongest forbidden item and wondered if the treasure in his hand could handle it.
"Sure, let's go after it and see. I also want to know what it looks like," the Imperial Dao Spear replied, having indeed seen similar scenes before.
It secretly told Wang Xuan that the thing was indeed very dangerous.
Back then, in the civilization where the Dao Control Banner resided, a top expert saw an enormous, extraordinary meteor streak across the dark universe, radiating unparalleled Supernatural Factor. That person chased after it all the way.
"As a result, he disappeared for a long time, until he was unexpectedly discovered four hundred years later. He was trapped in a special scene and went mad."
That was a top expert from the super-brilliant civilization of Dao Control Banner, yet he was still trapped, neither human nor ghost, with many of his memories erased.
Then, the giant of that civilization, an old man who had lived for ten thousand years, carrying the Dao Control Banner, personally rushed over and finally broke the vicious cycle, rescuing the mad master.
This secret moved Wang Xuan, as the Dao Control Banner had indirectly clashed with the most powerful prohibited items.
"You didn't spot it, and you didn't confront it head-on?" Wang Xuan asked.
"No, it left only a faint trace and has already gone far away. It is understood that the mysterious contraband was contained in that special and huge extraordinary meteor, which fell from an unknown Planar Crevice," Imperial Dao Spear informed.
Contraband from other universes, hidden within celestial bodies and seemingly linked to the great war, fell into this universe via a secret passage.
This left Wang Xuan feeling quite unsettled. The couple beside him had told him that as the Supernatural Center World shifted, the universe and races were also undergoing dramatic changes. There was rise and fall, one side dimming while the other rose to glory. Everything was in flux.
On the grand stage, amidst dazzling lights, giants and heroes rise and fall, and even contraband is born, dies, and changes.
Only a few prohibited items have never left the extraordinary river of history; after a period of silence, they will rise again. This item on the moon is one of the strongest of them all.
Could the Imperial Dao Spear defeat it? Wang Xuan knew that the Imperial Dao Spear was very special, extremely powerful, and indestructible, but it had never entered the center of the Supernatural World.
The two siblings discussed some situations, and it was said that after the treasure was moved to a different world, it might need a transition period to gradually adapt.
This item on the moon is one of the few that retains its power in any world, making it arguably the most "illegal" item imaginable.
"It's not in the scene ahead, but it left traces. Maybe we can catch up. I want to see it. I'm a little unwilling to leave without it piercing me once." Imperial Dao Spear spirit.
This time, it didn't hide its fluctuations, leaving Ming Lun Xian Yue speechless. They looked at it again and again, thinking, "It really dares to speak out, daring to go head-to-head with the ancient and the modern."
The brother and sister had heard that when the black wooden box was opened, the "Ancient and Modern" inside was revived, and even several of the illegal sacred objects that were famous in the history of the Supernatural Center World were destroyed!
"We... dare not follow. That wooden box is too dangerous. Although it may no longer exist, its reappearance would be catastrophic. It requires special means and methods to retrieve. Currently, neither of us has any information about it, and our fathers are also seeking a solution. Right now, we just want to determine its whereabouts and find a trace of it."
Ming Lun said, somewhat embarrassed, that this was the truth, he really didn't dare to get close to the Black Wood Box.
Wang Xuan touched the Carefree Boat in his pocket. He had brought two treasures with him this time. In case he encountered "Ancient and Modern", he would be fighting on home ground in this universe. He shouldn't be in too bad a situation, right?
Upon sensing his mental fluctuations, the Imperial Dao Spear immediately expanded with brilliant patterns, conveying only one message: Go find the black box and stab it!
Clearly, the First Treasure has a temper. Even though it's currently all alone, it's still not convinced and wants to challenge the ancient and modern to a duel!
The Carefree Boat also revived. It didn't want to fight, but rather wanted to see the Imperial Dao Spear meet its match. It always felt that the Imperial Spear was too domineering, stabbing this and that. It would be better if it met its match.
Wang Xuan entered the scene with his two treasures, because both the Imperial Dao Spear and the Carefree Boat said that the strange circle they saw could not trap them. If they hadn't seen the black box, they would have been bound here. They might as well rename them as useless treasures.
With a hum, Wang Xuan walked forward, his figure gradually blurring, as if he were about to disappear from this strange scene.
A piercing scream came from here. Wang Xuan saw light, saw swarms of robots melting and evaporating, and saw some people die tragically, turning into beams of light.
A small number of people survived, wailing and numb, before gradually departing into the distance.
"Was the path deliberately left by the black wooden box?" After the Imperial Dao Spear was revived, its texture expanded, sensing the earth in front of it.
This doesn't seem to be the lunar subcontinent anymore. At the end of this scene, someone struggles to enter another world. The so-called infinite loop has a sequel. Another scene was not recorded by the mothership and transmitted to the Mech Number Five; it remains unknown.
The Carefree Boat glowed and carried Wang Xuan away from the first magnificent scene.
Outside, beneath the moon, Ming Lun and Xuanyue were horrified. They saw a strange circle and some people struggling in that blurry area.
"He broke in, became part of the vicious cycle, and thus participated in it firsthand. But then he disappeared. Was he erased from history?"
"No, the strange loop seems to be only in the outer area; there's still the core scene. The five motherships from the past weren't recorded. Oh no, could he have really obtained all of history?"
The brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment.
For more than a year, their father consulted with others and tried every possible way to contact their home universe, but all attempts failed. The passage from back then was unimaginably strong, and they couldn't even send a signal, let alone go back.
"It's alright. Gu Jin is too powerful. Without a special method, no one can tame it. Moreover, once it appears, it may shake the cosmic rift and reopen the passage, perhaps allowing us to contact our homeland."
Wang Xuan stepped into a strange place. What he saw before him was very strange, and he was in a daze. Soft light rain fell, and there was a sacred atmosphere. A huge osmanthus tree was rooted in the pure land, and there was also a vague palace emerging.
"Moon Laurel Tree?" He stared at it, but what was going on with the sacred and peaceful tree hanging with one corpse after another?
Beneath the tree, there were Spaceship Wreckage, and on the tree, there were also wreckages, hanging on the branches like fruits, swaying in the rain of light.
The next chapter will be around chapter 10.
