Searching

"This jade ruyi can serve as an identification tool, and it can also connect signals like a telephone?"

After seeing Zou Bugui Bugui's semi-automatic water and fire Pill Furnace in his early years, Zhang Xuezhou came into contact with another Law Treasure with familiar functions.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't know where the person who sent the message was, but he guessed that 'Black' was very likely an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon, and an extremely troublesome Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon at that.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhang Xuezhou.

If in reality he needs to run around and be busy, in this world he has no say and is not even in the running.

Even if the sky were to collapse, there would still be so many Sacred Land lords holding it up.

The dynasties in this world are not particularly powerful, and their agriculture and industry are underdeveloped. However, Zhang Xuezhou must say that the elites in this world have reached a relatively high level of development, which is something that Scarlet Alliance State cannot match.

Using elites to slay Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is precisely the reality that the real world is constantly evolving and will soon become.

He gripped the jade ruyi, sensing that the voice transmitter was likely located near the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon and might also possess the Fire Meteor Sacred Land, a place capable of traversing space.

"I wonder how to activate these secret realms to traverse them like a shooting star?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked around the main hall but found nothing to look for.

If we must point to something special, it's that the main hall is most likely the central hub of the formation, and there's probably a way to enter and exit this secret place, allowing them to solve the problem of only being able to enter but not exit.

Zhang Xuezhou studied it for several minutes, but he couldn't figure it out.

He ultimately felt that this might require the assistance of Li Shaojun's insight or Gongsun Hong's knowledge.

Only by solving the problem of entering and exiting the secret realm will everything they have explored have any meaning.

Of course, they didn't get any treasures to take with them at the moment. Li Shaojun died twice, Gongsun Hong lost six Green Bamboo Swords, Zhang Xuezhou also fought a magical battle with Ao Sheng, and Ao Sheng went hungry for several more months.

The team's reconnaissance efforts yielded less than ideal results.

After failing to find anything, Zhang Xuezhou stopped searching alone.

Holding the jade ruyi, Zhang Xuezhou walked out of the low-ceilinged palace area, went down the steps, and found Gongsun Hong, who was trembling uncontrollably, and Li Shaojun, who was lying on the ground convulsing.

Wake up!

Zhang Xuezhou pinched Gongsun Hong's cheek, and when the other party did not react at all, he placed the jade ruyi in Gongsun Hong's palm.

In an instant, Gongsun Hong's trembling body began to shake, and his eyes quickly went from dazed to clear.

"It's freezing cold!"

Gongsun Hong shouted.

He felt as if he were holding a ball of ice that was icy cold in his hands, which was like pouring ice water on a hot day when he was caught off guard.

But Dong Zhongshu's figure disappeared before his eyes, and even though Gongsun Hong was slow to react after waking up, he knew exactly how he had regained consciousness.

"How come it's a treasure? What about the mirage demon?" Gongsun Hong asked.

"This is the effect of an array, not a mirage!"

"A big spender!"

Without counting the years that have passed, just from the time Ao Sheng entered the outer perimeter of the Mohists's mechanical city, the formation in this area has been in operation for at least four months.

The fact that it hasn't weakened over such a long period of time clearly indicates that there's a miraculous formation here continuously supporting it.

This is beyond the reach of Gongsun Hong.

"Was this array-controlling device temporarily lent to us by that important figure?" Gongsun Hong asked.

"Yes, it's a temporary loan!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He was too lazy to explain further; once he went to see for himself, Gongsun Hong would naturally understand everything.

"Dongfang Shuo, what does it mean that you're not playing rock-paper-scissors this time?"

After Gongsun Hong regained consciousness, he was replaced by Li Shaojun.

Shivering from the cold, Li Shaojun forced himself to stay awake and muttered something under his breath.

This left Zhang Xuezhou somewhat helpless. If the strange phenomena in this area were caused by a mirage demon, and the demon intended to repeat the manipulation, the method he taught Li Shaojun could barely break the illusion.

In other words, it allows Li Shaojun to find a real point of support, thereby guiding the breaking of the law back to reality.

However, the changes in the formation are driven by people's hearts, rather than by the mirage demon's ability to manipulate things repeatedly, which makes it impossible for Li Shaojun to break the formation.

"I don't seem to be dead? How could I not be dead in here? Dongfang Shuo and I were clearly competing in flying..."

As Li Shaojun awoke from his reverie, it was as if he had just woken from a dream. He seemed to still feel somewhat unwilling to accept what had happened in the dream and wanted to step back into the illusion to fight for victory.

After Zhang Xuezhou grabbed the jade ruyi and stuffed it into Li Shaojun's arms, Li Shaojun trembled and cursed for a while, then relied on the faint light of Law Power to continuously cleanse his body and reduce the bone-chilling cold.

"In short, that's the situation. I didn't find the treasure up there, but it might be an exit. To find the treasure, I need to search in the Mohists's Mechanical City on the other side!"

After saying a few words, Zhang Xuezhou signaled everyone to take action quickly.

"Find the exit first!"

"Find the treasure first!"

Gongsun Hong and Li Shaojun offered their suggestions almost simultaneously.

For Gongsun Hong, finding a way out is crucial, and it's the first thing he must do right now.

As for Li Shaojun, he felt that Zhang Xuezhou wasn't in a hurry, so why should he be? Finding treasure was the top priority.

The two had a minor disagreement and then turned their attention to Zhang Xuezhou.

"You guys play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins gets to decide the outcome," Zhang Xuezhou suggested.

"I've lost three hundred times to Dongfang Shuo at rock-paper-scissors, I refuse to believe I'll lose three hundred and one more time today!" Li Shaojun gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"

"Losing one more time isn't a big deal!"

Upon hearing that Li Shaojun's finger-guessing skills were so poor, Gongsun Hong readily agreed to the suggestion of playing the game.

But his expression quickly turned grim.

"Let's go, let's take this jade ruyi and go find some treasure!"

Li Shaojun decided the winner in a game of rock-paper-scissors, which greatly excited him.

Being careful to avoid the influence of illusions and freely walking around with the array token are two completely different things. If he could freely search this area, Li Shaojun felt he should be able to find some good things.

Of course, some dangers are unavoidable, but they are not to be underestimated; the three of them are more than capable of handling the risks posed by the Mohists mechanisms.

He urged everyone repeatedly, which left Gongsun Hong with no choice but to sigh and agree.

The three approached each other and then leaped across the bottomless ravine, which was ten feet wide.

Crossing this dividing line, you arrive at the severely damaged Mohists Mechanical City.

The purple light and thick fog remained, but they no longer affected the people.

Even after leaving the secret realm and entering the outer area of Mohists's Mechanical City, as long as one remains within a certain range of the Jade Ruyi, one will not be confused or affected.

Having experienced two hallucinogenic effects in succession, Gongsun Hong was somewhat depressed, while Li Shaojun was in high spirits.

He searched around and crawled into a collapsed section of the ruins.

"Come in quickly! This is a secret passage inside the Mohists compound. The things outside are destroyed, but there must still be some valuable treasures inside!"

Li Shaojun called out, and Zhang Xuezhou quickly grabbed the jade ruyi and slipped inside, followed closely by Gongsun Hong.

When the two crawled into the passage under the ruins, they saw Li Shaojun holding a luminous pearl in his left hand and the Five Elements Lodestone that could restrain mechanical beings in his right hand.

In the eerie green light, a mechanical figure, two zhang tall and clad in golden armor, slowly rose to its feet.

"Brothers, take down this mechanical man, and we can get the treasure!"

Li Shaojun shook the Five Elements Magnet and saw that the huge mechanical man was not affected at all, which made him a little panicked. He shouted for Zhang Xuezhou and Gongsun Hong, pulling everyone into the water.
