Chapter 1534: Chapter 1534
Master Sun also wanted to hear the opinions of others, "Fairy, what do you think that thing just now was?"
Fairy Sword Reflection, who personally wielded the Mountain Sword to slash at that thing twice, had a direct feeling, "It’s of a very high level! My Mountain Sword, under normal circumstances, would not have such obvious fissures after three uses!"
"But that thing seems to have no substance, so its concealment technique is very clever. If it hadn’t revealed itself, I would have thought that there was nothing behind Daoist Brother’s gourd."
Master Sun nodded, as Fairy Sword Reflection’s words corroborated his own guess, "Fairy, do you think there’s a possibility that it’s from the Heaven Realm?"
Fairy Sword Reflection was shocked, but immediately began to ponder, "A bold guess! But I have to say that the more I think about it...the more likely it seems."
Fairy Sword Reflection followed Master Sun’s line of thought, "Divine Beasts are originally from the heavens and not mundane things. It’s just that in the current Eight Desolations World, besides West Ridge’s King Monroe and Barbarian Warrior Lennon of the Southern Wasteland, no one knows whether they are from the Immortal World or the mounts of deities."
"And that thing eventually turned into the shape of a long chain... Could it be that it fell to the world with the Divine Beast Azure Dragon and was originally the chain that was supposed to bind the Divine Beast?"
Her words also enlightened Master Sun, who knew that the Heavenly Palace had already slipped into the Chaotic Void. So he had always assumed that the Divine Beast must have come from the Immortal World. But now that he thought about it, the four Divine Beasts might very well have fallen from the Heavenly Palace into the mortal world.
The key point was the exact timing of the Heavenly Palace’s slip into the Chaotic Void. Master Sun had originally thought that this major event was synchronized with the Heavenly Track Reversal, but there was no concrete evidence to prove this.
What if the Heavenly Palace’s accident happened only recently? What if it happened a few years ago? That would coincide with the fall of the Divine Beasts.
Fairy Sword Reflection asked, "Could the skeleton that Daoist Brother saw at the bottom of the Fifth Stream be the Divine Beast Azure Dragon?"
Master Sun understood her meaning, "When the Divine Beasts fell from the sky, they were seriously injured, so they cut off their own body and divided it into countless avatars?"
The duo’s analysis seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth, but Master Sun couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more to it, "Let alone other things, the numerous avatars that the Divine Beast has split into are unlike the original Divine Beast itself, and more like they have truly been possessed. What caused Azure Dragon’s temperament to change so drastically?"
Fairy Sword Reflection shook her head in confusion, unable to answer this question.
Master Sun suppressed his various doubts and said, "Let’s proceed according to the original plan."
Above that Mountain Sword statue, Seventh Realm Supremes appeared one after another, each using their own methods to investigate what had happened here. Among them, the Prophet used the most magical method - using a magic treasure resembling a celestial globe to trace back in time and see the past!
Master Duke and the Prophet were then astonished to see the Mountain Sword, the Mini-world of Space Escape, and Jason Gourd’s Thousand Doors Eye.
But Master Duke was puzzled, "Who is their opponent?"
The Symbol Long Chain mysteriously disappeared in the "time" that the Prophet traced back, leaving no trace in the "past"!
The Prophet’s expression turned solemn and said, "Their opponent’s existence is too high-level, erasing their mark in the river of time!"
Master Duke was shocked, "What kind of existence has this ability? There is no Ninth Great Realm in the Eight Desolations World today."
"Even the Ninth Great Realm can’t achieve this!"
Although Master Sun said that they would still proceed according to the previous plan, he wouldn’t wait idly. He quietly took out the Immortal Pivot Device and secretly sensed it. After entering Black Dragon Valley, this sensing became clearer, and when they reached Nine-Bend Bay, with this sensing, Master Sun was able to narrow down the range to the Third Creek and Fourth Creek.Sir Sun was a little surprised: "It’s not in the Fifth Creek?"
"Originally, I thought that Symbol Long Chain and Azure Dragon came from the Heaven Realm, while the legend of the Immortal Pivot Device is an immortal artifact. They should have been together."
Sir Sun sent a primordial spirit, divided from Lord Solar, to quietly leave the cave and head towards the Third Creek. Fairy of Reflection suddenly appeared in front of the old immortal with a resentful expression.
Sir Sun’s head ached: "It’s not that I want to avoid the Fairy, but I need to deal with some personal matters."
Fairy of Reflection still looked at him resentfully, not speaking, and didn’t go away. Sir Sun sighed secretly and had no choice but to reveal the Primordial Spirit: "If Fairy is interested, let’s go together." Immediately, the Fairy showed a gentle smile.
"I’m going too." The sudden appearance of the Little Princess surprised Fairy of Reflection. She looked at the old immortal, with a clear meaning: Daoist Brother, you can’t handle these followers, is this little girl spoiled as she relies on your favor?
Sir Sun’s headache worsened. What’s the point of following us along? But the stubborn Little Princess looked at him, and Sun had no choice but to control Lord Solar to say: "Fine, we need someone to serve us along the way."
Fairy of Reflection frowned, a terrible excuse. This Daoist Brother is softhearted, a soft-hearted Seventh Level, truly rare. This is not a good trait... However, being allied with such a person should not result in betrayal.
On the way, Sir Sun told Fairy of Reflection about the Immortal Pivot Device – it was actually a test. Sir Sun had decided to return to Eastern Land after Black Dragon Valley. He had no previous plans to develop deeply in Central State, but now it seemed necessary to leave a proxy, and Fairy of Reflection was a good choice.
"Does Daoist Brother know what this means?" Fairy of Reflection stared solemnly at the Primordial Spirit and said, "Daoist Brother has more than one Immortal Pivot Device in his hands, and even the Protectors of the strong nations of Central State will be far inferior to you!"
Fairy of Reflection considered for a moment and sighed, "I’m afraid that after leaving Black Dragon Valley, my Sunset Sect will have to continue as Daoist Brother’s ally, otherwise, I’m hard-pressed to convince myself to keep this secret for Daoist Brother!"
The whereabouts of the Immortal Pivot Device – this kind of information could really sell for a good price!
Sir Sun laughed heartily, "Fairy will not regret this decision."
The three of them crept quietly through the mountains and soon arrived at the bank of the Third Creek. Sir Sun pretended to be majestic and ordered the Little Princess, "You stay on the shore to support."
Little Princess secretly pursed her lips, but she couldn’t reveal her real strength, so she had to obediently wait on the shore, watching the Primordial Spirit and Fairy of Reflection dive into the Third Creek together, mumbling unhappily, "Lewd brother, this is equal to bathing with the Sect Master Fairy..."
Sir Sun felt that according to his luck, if he started searching from the Third Creek, then the Immortal Pivot Device would be in the Fourth Creek; on the contrary, if he started searching from the Fourth Creek, it would definitely be in the Third Creek.
So, Sir Sun didn’t hold much hope this time. However, after diving about thirty feet into the water, he vaguely sensed something similar to the cold feeling in the Fifth Creek.
Sir Sun gestured to Fairy of Reflection to be careful. Fairy of Reflection seemed to sense something as well and nodded slightly to Sir Sun.
However, this cold feeling was much weaker than that in the Fifth Creek, and the two of them were on guard but did not encounter any danger.
"There’s not even a small fish in the water!" Sir Sun didn’t dare to be careless. The two dove about a hundred feet down without reaching the bottom, but they saw a huge platform extending horizontally around which a stiff giant beast lay peacefully.
Fairy of Reflection’s eyes widened in shock, grabbed Sir Sun, and sent a surprised message, "Vitality Corpse!" Fairy of Reflection had seen it before, and while she hadn’t seen it clearly, she could tell from its aura.
Sir Sun was even more surprised because the ribcage of the Vitality Corpse was as wide open as a blooming flower, revealing a cave-like chest cavity. Inside was a faint red light, with more than a dozen light strands spreading from it, drilling into the platform below the Vitality Corpse, as if drawing something.
In the red light of the chest cavity, it was the Mechanical Heart that Burning Hillock had asked Sir Sun to find!
