"Hm?"
Li Yue's expression shifted slightly.
The two corpses suddenly dissolved in the wind, their ashes scattering across the boundless Black Sea.
Only the chessboard on the stone table remained. Nothing else was left behind.
Their Dao-Proving Supreme Treasures, any Extinction Jade they might have possessed—everything vanished along with them.
"So I don't even get a chance to inherit my predecessors' possessions..."
"I'd hoped to get some Extinction Jade from them and take a look at the Extinction Treasury."
"This Land of Extinction doesn't seem to be any lower in rank than the Divine Moon World or the Death Origin Realm."
"The Divine Moon World has something as wondrous as divine moon origin."
"The Death Origin Realm has the Life-and-Death Furnace, too."
"This Land of Extinction should also have at least one wondrous thing."
"It seems—"
"Extinction Jade is the foundation."
"Only by obtaining more Extinction Jade can I claim the greatest opportunity in this Land of Extinction."
Li Yue narrowed his eyes.
He sat down cross-legged.
The pavilion drifted aimlessly across the Black Sea.
The terrifying storm that had connected heaven and earth in the distance was nowhere to be seen now.
"I'll wait."
"One crisis every ten years, one piece of Extinction Jade every ten years."
He waved a hand lightly.
The Tiger Soul Puppet appeared, shrank to the size of a palm, and crouched atop the pavilion, silently watching in every direction.
Then—
The Life-and-Death Reincarnation Mirror appeared as well. Ripples shimmered across its surface, revealing its newly born self-awareness, Ancient Capital, who bowed respectfully within the mirror.
"My lord."
Living beings could not be brought into this Land of Extinction.
Puppets and treasures, however, could naturally be brought in.
Ancient Capital was merely the Life-and-Death Reincarnation Mirror's self-awareness, equivalent to its artifact spirit, and was unaffected.
