After killing the Great Emperor of Time Mo Tian, Xiao Tian waited in the room, remaining there as the original Xiao Tian.
He needs to give Zhou Quan an explanation.
Zhou Quan was in mortal danger at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion when he was pulled into the Kamui Dimension and rescued. He is still unconscious.
Zhou Quan groggily woke up, and when he saw Xiao Tian's face clearly, he was shocked and dumbfounded.
" Brother Tian?"
"No! Brother Tian was harmed by those Chaos from the Ancient God Biological Gene Group! Am I in the Underworld?"
"Since when did the Underworld get modern decor? We really have to keep up with the times!"
Zhou Quan was astonished, leaving the speechless Xiao Tian behind, and wandered around the room, looking him over.
"Wait a minute! Why does this place feel so familiar?" Zhou Quan suddenly realized.
I feel like I've been to this room before.
To confirm his own thoughts, Zhou Quan opened the door, stepped out of the room, and went outside.
"Holy crap! Isn't this our villa?"
I'm not dead?
" Fengzi!" Zhou Quan suddenly remembered the important matter and hurriedly went to the Fengzi's room.
However, when they arrived at Chu Feng's room, they found it completely empty and spotless, as if it had been cleaned.
" Fengzi? Where's the Fengzi?!"
"If this is still the mortal realm! Then what about Brother Tian we saw before??"
Zhou Quan went back like a madman, back to the room where he had woken up.
" Brother Tian? Is it really you?" Zhou Quan trembled, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Fatty, have you calmed down?"
"Calm down!" Zhou Quan shuddered, but a sense of vigilance arose within him.
"Fatty, believe it or not, I have to tell you a fact: Chu Feng can't see you right now."
"What? The Fengzi is dead?" Zhou Quan's face darkened as he recalled what a middle-aged man in a suit had told him earlier at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
" Brother Tian, was he killed by a middle-aged man in a suit? Was he?!"
"Yes, don't get agitated, Chu Feng isn't dead yet."
"Not considered death? What's going on? Also, Brother Tian, weren't you dead? How come you're here?" Zhou Quan was puzzled, and his vigilance grew even stronger.
Xiao Tian was prepared for Zhou Quan's questions and produced a letter.
"Do you remember Yun Shang? You'll know after reading the letter."
" Fairy Yun Shang!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan hurriedly grabbed the envelope, nervously tearing it open.
Zhou Quan carefully read every word and exclaimed excitedly, "It really is the fairy's notebook! Brother Tian! You're actually still alive! That's wonderful!"
"Fatty, now is not the time for a family reunion and celebration. I should have shown up earlier, but many things have turned out differently than I expected," Xiao Tian said, frowning.
Zhou Quan's doubts about Xiao Tian's identity were dispelled, and he couldn't help but ask, " Brother Tian, tell me slowly, what's wrong with the Fengzi? Is there any hope for him?"
Xiao Tian took out a sandalwood box, opened it, and said to Zhou Quan, "If I told you that the Fengzi is the seed inside this box, would you believe me?"
Zhou Quan was taken aback at first, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.
I believe you.
" Brother Tian, if that's the case, then judging from this situation, only when the seed sprouts and grows will the Fengzi have any hope of returning?"
Xiao Tian sighed, "That should be the case. The life force is still present, but the time for resurrection is yet to be determined."
"Alright." Zhou Quan sighed. No matter what, things had already come to this, and he was powerless to change it. He could only accept this outcome.
" Brother Tian, what about you? You're now in the same sect as Fairy, so do you also have a mission in Luo Cheng?"
Xiao Tian smiled and said, "I came to Luo Cheng for a mission. Through a method of the sect, I met Yun Shang and we recognized each other. Through my conversation with Yun Shang, I learned that she had spent some time with you and the Fengzi. Yun Shang is the chief disciple of my sect. She has a more serious mission to do. You are indeed lucky to have met her."
"Hey, Brother Tian, you're lucky, but the one who benefited even more is that Fengzi guy! He got the fairy's Array Master Crash Course Textbook, and he also got the Yellow Ox's Breathing Technique. It's enough to make anyone envious! He's getting the treatment of a protagonist! This is unbelievable!"
"Fatty, what are you still upset about? Fengzi is already in this state; you're the luckiest one. If I hadn't intervened a little later, you would have been in even worse shape."
Zhou Quan thought about it and agreed; he was the luckiest one.
" Brother Tian, speaking of which, what level have you reached now? That middle-aged man in the suit was very strong. When I encountered him, I suddenly lost the ability to move, my mind went blank, and I had no idea what happened. Then I woke up and saw you."
"It's a time-manipulation ability. That person possessed this ability and could travel through time. However, his cultivation level and the ability he possessed were still too low, and I suppressed and defeated him with my cultivation level." Xiao Tian explained casually.
"Mastering time!" Zhou Quan was dumbfounded upon hearing this; this ability was simply too overpowered.
" Brother Tian, what should we do now? How about I help you complete that mission? I can be a henchman, it's fine. Anyway, we don't have anywhere to go right now, and we don't even know when Fengzi will resurrect. Maybe he needs watering, energy irrigation to speed things up."
Xiao Tian Xiao; Zhou Quan was genuinely sincere towards Chu Feng this time.
"To quickly revive Chu Feng, a massive amount of energy is indeed needed. However, given Chu Feng's current state, not all energy is effective. I'm not sure about that either. Let's find some spirit stones and put them in the box. Perhaps he can absorb them slowly. Once the seed begins to sprout and grow stronger, the process might be faster."
" Brother Tian, you're right." Zhou Quan nodded.
"If you don't want to concern yourself with my mission, just stay in the city for now. Come on, it's been a long time since we last met, let's go get something to eat."
"Okay! There's some barbecue meat in the fridge, let's grill it."
Outside the villa, the thunderstorm continued; inside, the barbecue grill was set up, the meat was ready, and beer and Cola were also plentiful.
The sandalwood box containing Chu Feng's seeds was also placed on the table, and Zhou Quan occasionally poured some Cola on it.
" Fengzi, grow up quickly and come back to life like the World Tree, hahaha... But speaking of which, I, Zhou Quan, have the blood of the Bull Clan, while Fengzi's ancestors were actually descendants of flowers, plants, and trees. How interesting."
Xiao Tian Xiao.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Tian handed the box over to Zhou Quan for safekeeping, and then left the villa to head to the Evolver protection zone.
Long Zaitian was in great distress at this moment, Perfected Xuantian had not yet appeared.
Although he felt that his body was very healthy, he always felt that there was a time bomb left inside him.
You're scared.
Long Zaitian shuddered upon hearing the words of the Jade Void Palace's Perfected Xuantian, and inwardly sighed, "Truly, calling Cao Cao brings him to life!"
" Perfected Xuantian, I have completed my mission."
"Is that so? As far as I know, although you successfully summoned lightning, leaving Chu Feng half-dead, he is still alive. However, the assassin you hired also met with misfortune."
"What?" Long Zaitian was dumbfounded upon hearing this.
How did things turn out this way?
Long Zaitian couldn't understand it at all. He knew that guy's level of expertise; logically speaking, he shouldn't have made such a mistake.
"My lord, I overstated things. I will continue to carry out the mission. I have eight more chances."
"No need. By some twist of fate, someone else completed the task for you."
Upon Long Zaitian felt a chill in his heart. Wasn't this implying that he had no value in living?
" Long Zaitian, you need not be afraid. My arrival is not to kill you directly. Your life will be in your own hands. I will give you the freedom to move around. Your current body needs to be roasted in a place where the flames are blazing, at least at the Shackle Realm level, every three years to refine the metal mineral toxins in your body. After ten years, you will no longer need to go there, as your body will no longer reject them."
"Thank you so much, Master!" Long Zaitian was extremely excited.
" Long Zaitian, before I came, I heard that you and the city lord were preparing to hold the second martial arts competition of the Evolver Pavilion."
Long Zaitian respectfully replied, "Yes, Master. The purpose of this martial arts tournament is to attract the Evolver have entered Luo Cheng in the past few days, eliminate potential threats, and also to provide benefits to the Evolver within the Evolver Pavilion to help them improve themselves."
"It's good that you're thinking about benefiting the people; just continue being yourself."
Respectfully bidding farewell to the esteemed master!
Long Zaitian breathed a sigh of relief, only then realizing that he was drenched in sweat.
"This person's aura is truly overwhelming."
Xiao Tian immediately left the Evolver Protection Area and headed straight for the tomb that Long Zaitian led him to earlier.
That tomb is interesting. Although he now knows for sure that the red Luo Cheng on the world map in his mind is most likely caused by this tomb, it might not be.
With his superior skills and daring, and since there was no one else around, Xiao Tian decided to attempt a dungeon run.
After descending into the tomb, the Night Glazed Lamp in the tunnel hadn't been updated, clearly indicating that the tomb's owner was poor and unable to afford further renovations.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and heartache.
Upon arriving at the platform, Xiao Tian glanced around, Cola in his left hand, a smile on his face.
"This wretched place even has a tomb. Looks like someone's been here. I wonder if there's any trash left behind so I can make a little money and exchange it for some drinks."
Suddenly, a mist filled the air, and a beautiful noblewoman dressed in ancient palace attire emerged.
With skin Bai Yu mutton fat, a slender waist that could be encircled with one hand, and a graceful figure, she was truly breathtakingly beautiful.
If it weren't for Xiao Tian's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Enhanced Byakugan, one might really think he was a real person.
Judging by appearances alone, this woman was nothing more than a floating skeleton in his eyes.
"Those who trespass into the tomb have two choices: one is to agree to the challenge, in which case you will receive the reward you've always dreamed of and be able to leave the tomb unharmed."
The second option is to refuse, to be killed here, and become like those skeletons.
Faced with the choice of these unfair terms, Xiao Tian Xiao.
"Beautiful lady, is the reward also for you?" Xiao Tian asked jokingly, but his eyes were clear and sharp.
"Of course, as long as you successfully pass the test, I will be yours."
"Tsk tsk, come on, I wouldn't even take you if you gave them to me. Humans and ghosts are different, beautiful lady. I don't want to die young."
The woman in palace attire smiled elegantly and said, "Young master, you have three minutes to make your choice."
"Hey, I never thought that someone as handsome and intelligent as me would end up in a ghost tomb. Oh well, if it's going to test my physical abilities and my brain, then bring it on! What kind of test?"
"Since you have chosen to accept the test, please step forward, pass through the stone slab, and enter the stone gate. As for the specific details of the test, you will have to figure it out for yourself, and you will have to try to pass it yourself."
Xiao Tian Xiao. The owner of this tomb must have been incredibly bored, so he pulled this stunt to pass the time.
If he wasn't mistaken, he would definitely turn this trial into an opportunity and become an envoy like Long Zaitian, transforming from an ordinary person into a powerful Evolver, and then serving the owner of this tomb.
Xiao Tian passed through the stone gate and entered the space inside. He saw a bottomless abyss in front of him, and the opposite side was more than two hundred meters away from the cliff edge where he was standing.
This distance is easily covered by a powerful jump for an Evolver.
However, for Xiao Tian, who is currently concealing his abilities and acting as an ordinary person, a distance of over two hundred meters is an insurmountable chasm.
"The test has three stages; this is the first one. Pass it and you live; fail and you die."
A woman in palace attire appeared on the opposite bank, her dignified smile warm, but in such a dreadful place, an ordinary person would be terrified to death.
Xiao Tian's mental fortitude is naturally beyond that of ordinary people, but his current status is different.
"Damn it!" Xiao Tian pretended to be startled, his face turning pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead and even his whole body. He couldn't help but curse, "I knew you were a female old lady, no, maybe you're not even a woman. What bad luck, how did I end up in such a lousy place?"
"It's such a long distance, do you think I'm some kind of superhuman who can fly over there?"
The woman in palace attire smiled and said, "You only have ten minutes. Please make your choice: retreat and you will die instantly; move forward and you have a sliver of hope for survival."
Upon hearing this forced sale scenario, Xiao Tian chuckled, his legs beginning to tremble and go weak with masterful acting.
"Damn it! What am I going to do? If I fall, I'll definitely lose everything!"
"Could it be Genjutsu?"
"Possibly! Otherwise, why would they let me pass the test only to kill me? They could have just killed me outright!"
Xiao Tian feigned enlightenment and said, "That must be it! This old book only knows how to deal magical damage. It's all an illusion. It needs to scare me to death before it can kill me. It doesn't have the ability to kill me at all."
"He jumped!"
With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and Enhanced Byakugan, Xiao Tian knew that this was not Genjutsu. Beneath the abyss lay countless terrifying blades. If one fell in, not only ordinary people, but even those at the Shackle Realm would be torn apart and killed.
"Let's go! I'm about to fly! Aaaaaah!"
Xiao Tian was so engrossed in his acting that he was betting the hidden tomb owner would help him.
After initially jumping more than four meters, the effects of gravity intensified, and his body was clearly on the verge of collapse.
But suddenly, the ground beneath my feet became flat.
Since Xiao Tian had his eyes closed, he couldn't see anything on the surface. However, through his Enhanced Byakugan, he could see the tomb owner's subtle actions clearly.
"Heh heh! Looks like I guessed right! In that case, I'll play along with you to the very end."
Xiao Tian excited. He hadn't seen the true form of the tomb's owner yet, and he still couldn't figure out what kind of person this guy was or what level he was at.
But in short, he has the ability to resurrect infinitely in this world, and he's not afraid of death, which is just perfect.
