The Relic Opens
"It's Zhou Wuji, the acting dean of the Zhenguan Academy in the Chu Kingdom!" someone immediately recognized him.
In an instant, Zhou Wuji appeared in front of the group, cupped his hands in a salute, and bowed to them.
"Hiss!"
Who is Zhou Wuji? After Saint Chu disappeared, he became the acting dean of the Zhenguan Academy, one of the Seven Great Academies Zhenguan Academy the continent. Even if no one had met him before, they got to know him during this Great Desolation Relic.
After all, he is the head of an academy, and they should try to befriend him.
But now, this acting dean is actually bowing to a young man?
Surprisingly, the young man accepted the greeting quite readily!
But this was not the end. What happened next was even more surprising: another flash of white light appeared, heading towards the young man.
"It's the leader of the Sword Sect!" someone exclaimed.
Amidst the exclamations, the Sword Sect Leader also bowed respectfully to the young man.
"The Sword Sect Leader is said to have reached the Spirit Saint Sixth Stage realm, yet he is so respectful to a young man!" Some of the elders looked surprised, but no one answered them. Most of them watched the scene with complicated expressions.
"Look, the Grand Dean is there too!" This time, the exclamations were even louder.
Cang Lan transformed into a streak of light and appeared before the young man, bowing respectfully with clasped hands.
"Who exactly is he?" Everyone was speechless with astonishment. First, it was Zhou Wuji, then Jian Shisan, the leader of the Sword Sect, and finally even Cang Lan, who had stepped into the Immortal Realm.
"You don't know him?" Finally, someone spoke up.
"Which family's young master is he?" a cultivator asked.
"A rich kid? He earned that respect through his own abilities," someone said dismissively.
"Then hurry up and tell us who he is!" Everyone seemed even more curious about the young man.
"He is God..."
Just as someone was about to provide an answer, a sudden, deafening roar shook the entire wilderness, causing the earth to tremble and the world to lose its color.
A ray of sunlight shines upon the vast wilderness.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The waves crashed against the shore, creating a fine drizzle that shimmered with golden light under the sun.
"Boom!"
The earth began to tremble and split, the land on both sides of the canyon constantly turning upwards, with barren soil and stones flying everywhere.
Something seems to be about to break through the ground below.
"Phew~"
Dafeng blew, sweeping away the churning soil and pebbles, revealing flat, smooth land on both sides of the canyon.
On these two landmasses, countless fine lines Levitate in an irregular pattern, connecting together to form a giant grid.
These large grids are further divided into many smaller grids, just like streets, leading in all directions and eventually extending to the canyon.
"The Great Desolation Relic have been opened!"
Everyone was captivated by this strange phenomenon, their eyes fixed intently on the enormous chessboard that had appeared in the Great Desolation Relic.
At this moment, Ma Feifei also stopped exchanging pleasantries with Cang Lan and his group, looked at the strange phenomena appearing on both sides of the canyon, and revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Chess!
Chinese Chess!
This is a cultural treasure left behind by history.
It is the crystallization of a highly intelligent people.
However, Ma Feifei's chess skills were lacking...
"It's so frustrating!" Ma Feifei sighed. He had been reading "Dream into Divine Machine" for several days, but he still couldn't understand it. Trying to learn something at the last minute was definitely not going to work.
"Is the shopkeeper going down this time too?" Cang Lan glanced meaningfully at Lian Yi behind Ma Feifei and asked.
Lian Yi pretended to be strong from behind, but her knuckles were white from gripping the weight so tightly that she was clearly very nervous.
Ma Feifei hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, and casually replied, "Yeah, let's go in and broaden our horizons."
Cang Lan nodded slightly, saying nothing more, but she didn't leave either, naturally following Ma Feifei into the canyon.
"Is that the girl who stole six Great Desolation Relic Tokens from our academy?" The Fourth Dean, Sea Emperor, stood on the hill watching Ma Feifei and his group, asking calmly.
The Sixth Dean also frowned as he looked at Lian Yi below.
When Lian Yi infiltrated the Vast Academy's treasure vault to steal the Great Desolation Relic Token, they were still mediating internal strife in the Yan State and had never even seen Lian Yi.
The reason they all focused their attention on Lian Yi was because they noticed the meaningful look in Grand Dean Cang Lan's eyes.
Third Dean Zhen Liang looked a little embarrassed. Lian Yi had stolen six Great Desolation Relic Tokens from the Vast Academy's treasure vault, which was a disgrace to the entire Vast Academy, especially since he was in the academy when the six Great Desolation Relic Tokens were stolen.
Needless to say, Zhen Liang's expression told the whole story.
"Now we're really suffering in silence," said the Sixth Dean Parasitic Sea Shenghai, with a wry smile. Even the Grand Dean, Cang Lan, treated him with utmost respect. There was only one other person on this continent who did so with the same utmost respect: the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore.
The fact that she is now accompanying the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore to the Great Desolation Relic means that she has found a powerful backer.
Faced with the Mysterious Bookstore, now the most powerful force on the Azure Dragon Continent, even the Vast Academy must avoid its sharp edge.
"Sigh! I was hoping to get in and take a look this time, but in the end I'm just a spectator." The Fourth Dean, Sea Emperor, was also a bit frustrated. Their generation of deans were relatively young. Five hundred years ago, it wasn't their turn to take office, so naturally they weren't qualified to represent the Vast Academy into the Great Desolation Relic.
So in fact, they have never entered the Great Desolation Relic.
"If only I could see it..." Third Dean Zhen Liang sighed as he looked at the chessboard that was beginning to Mist over.
Upon hearing this, the two looked over in that direction.
The chessboard was slowly enveloped by wisps of white mist, until finally both sides of the canyon were completely covered by the Mist, and the cultivators outside could no longer see Mist was inside.
"Biu~!"
Suddenly, a beam of white light shot into the sky, forming a pillar of light that lingered for a long time.
"Whoosh!"
From the crowd of onlookers, a beam of light shot directly toward the pillar of light, eventually disappearing into the Mist.
"Has it started?"
"Who went in just now?" a cultivator asked in confusion.
"It was too fast, I didn't see it clearly."
"It seems to be the Wenchang Academy."
"Biu~!"
Another white beam of light shot out, but this time its position had changed.
"Whoosh!"
Another beam of light shot towards the pillar of light, disappearing into the Mist.
"It seems to be Mu Qinwu this time." The voice rang out again.
"Biu~!"
"Whoosh!"
The sounds grew louder, beams of light shot out, and rays of light shone in.
Each ray of light represents a cultivator who possesses the Great Desolation Relic Token.
Gradually, the number of the thirty-two Great Desolation Relic Token dwindled.
"Biu~~"
"Wow! I feel like I'm going to fly!" Zhang Caicai suddenly exclaimed, and then a white light emanated from her body, carrying her directly into the Mist.
"Biu~~"
"Shopkeeper, I think I'm about to fly too." Ba Jiu began to twist his whole body, and then he was also enveloped in a white light and shot towards the Mist.
"Biu~~~"
One after another, Luan Feng, Lian Yi, Yun Qingyang...
In the end, only Ma Feifei's group was left with him, Mu Qingyi, and Cang Lan.
Cang Lan watched as the people around Ma Feifei flew into the Mist one by one, a bitter smile appearing on her lips.
She still can't figure out that the six Great Desolation Relic Tokens have fallen into Ma Feifei's hands; she's incredibly stupid.
But what could she do even if she knew? She could only sigh inwardly and accept her fate.
"Biu~"
"Biu~"
Two beams of light appeared, and Ma Feifei and Yun Qingyang simultaneously transformed into two beams of light that shot into the Mist.
"Click click click~~"
The Great Wilderness began to tremble, the Mist dissipated, revealing the Great Wilderness as before, as if nothing had ever happened.
However, a long, faintly visible white line surrounds the canyon on both sides.
This is the sign that the Great Desolation Relic have opened, and it is also the protective zone when the Great Desolation Relic open. As long as the Great Desolation Relic have not closed, anyone who steps into the long zone will be judged as an intruder by the ruins and attacked, with no chance of survival.
