Chapter 511: Chapter 511
Xuanhai World, Nan Xian cradled the Eight Diagram in his hands.
He listened to the words of the Eight Diagram and thought seriously, "I should be able to come back soon. A few days ago, Senior Song Jian said he found a new way to get to the past."
After the Eight Diagram relayed the message to Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao curiously asked, "Who is Song Jian?"
"He’s someone I know in Xuanhai World. He also plans to go to your world to find his wife and daughter."
After the Eight Diagram relayed the message, due to insufficient energy, Nan Xian and Qin Zhao lost contact again.
"Ah, you had better rest well."
Nan Xian touched the Eight Diagram.
Fortunately, the Spiritual Energy in this world was abundant, which allowed the Artifact Spirit of the Eight Diagram to gradually awaken.
Otherwise, it might have taken several years.
Just as Nan Xian put away the Eight Diagram, he received a Communication Talisman from Qing Dai.
"Nan Xian, come quickly! Someone is bullying me!"
Qing Dai’s voice was filled with grievance and urgency.
Nan Xian’s expression tensed, and he quickly asked, "Who is bullying you? Where are you?"
"I’m at Spiritual Artifact Mountain of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
After Qing Dai finished speaking, there came the sound of weapons clashing from the other end.
Soon after, she hung up the Communication Talisman.
Nan Xian was worried and quickly stood up and headed to Spiritual Artifact Mountain.
Spiritual Artifact Mountain was a treasure site of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
After the first Sect Leader ascended, he cast a treasure mountain down from the Immortal Realm. It contained dangerous Fierce Beasts and numerous treasures to aid the disciple’s development.
Every disciple of the Inner Sect of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, after advancing to Foundation Establishment, could choose a Magic Artifact from Spiritual Artifact Mountain.
Nan Xian arrived at Spiritual Artifact Mountain and searched for a long time, but couldn’t find Qing Dai.
He looked towards the distance where the forest was barren, enveloped by thick fog, and pitch black.
"Could she have gone to the deepest part?"
The deepest part of Spiritual Artifact Mountain was not only the most dangerous place but also housed countless unimaginable treasures. Over the years, ordinary disciples didn’t dare venture into the deepest parts for fear of losing their lives.
That place was reserved only for descendants of the Song Family.
If one wasn’t a descendant of the Song Family and didn’t have the protection of the Sect Leader or elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, survival in the deepest parts was virtually impossible.
Just as Nan Xian was about to head into the deepest part of Spiritual Artifact Mountain, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Outsiders and ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter the depths of Spiritual Artifact Mountain!"
A deep voice came through, along with the phantom image of an elder slowly emerging in front of him.
The elder’s gaze was sharp as it fixed on Nan Xian.
"Young man, if you don’t want to lose your life, leave quickly!"
Nan Xian didn’t want to break the rules of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and politely asked, "I’m here to find a friend, have you seen anyone else enter here?"
"If someone could enter here, they must be from my Song Family. Is your friend from the Song Family?"
"No, but she said she’s at Spiritual Artifact Mountain."
"Perhaps she’s in the outer area. Just keep looking."
With that, the elder’s phantom disappeared on the spot.
The transparent barrier, set by members of the Song Family, was a Barrier that outsiders found difficult to break, and the elder believed that Nan Xian didn’t have the capability to break it.
His appearance was merely to warn Nan Xian.
Nan Xian frowned and could only search the periphery again.
He still couldn’t find any trace of Qing Dai.
He tried contacting her through the Communication Talisman several times, but didn’t receive any responses.
Just as Nan Xian reached the vicinity of the Barrier again, the Communication Talisman finally buzzed.
"Qing Dai? Where are you?"
"I... I’m inside. There’s actually a mutate beast from the Immortal Realm here."
Qing Dai’s voice carried a sense of panic.
Nan Xian’s expression shook, confirming that she was in the deepest part of Spiritual Artifact Mountain.
After speaking briefly with Nan Xian, Qing Dai’s Communication Talisman lost connection again.
This was because Qing Dai was in a dangerous situation at the time.
Initially, she had been invited to train, and led by Zhu Chuanli and the disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they had arrived at Spiritual Artifact Mountain.
There were some demon beasts in the periphery, but they were easy to deal with, and Qing Dai, possessing enough Magic Artifacts, soon found it uninteresting.
As the others gradually found Magic Artifacts, Qing Dai wanted to return early.
Zhu Chuanli suddenly mentioned that he could take her and Song You deeper into Spiritual Artifact Mountain. There were treasures fallen from the Immortal Realm there, and if they were lucky, perhaps they could find them.
Zhu Chuanli also mentioned that outsiders were not allowed to go deep into Spiritual Artifact Mountain.
Qing Dai found the challenge intriguing and thus followed them inside.
Moreover, Song You hadn’t obtained a signature Magic Artifact yet, and she was curious to see what Song You would end up with.
If Song You still got nothing after entering deep into Spiritual Artifact Mountain, Qing Dai could mock her a bit.
"What on earth is this thing?"
Zhu Chuanli, Song You, and Qing Dai were all hiding in a large crevice between rocks.
Outside, a giant beast paced around the rocks, seemingly searching for something.
"I don’t know; we shouldn’t let it discover us. Let’s go somewhere else to look for treasures first."
Zhu Chuanli whispered.
He and Song You stood sideways in the crevice, with Qing Dai on the outermost side.
Listening to their quiet conversation, Qing Dai remained silent.
Before hiding, a small conflict had erupted between them.
Being from the Immortal Realm, as soon as Qing Dai entered, she discovered a good material for Artifact Refining called Black Cloud Stone. However, just as she was about to pick it up, Song You snatched it first.
She and Song You started arguing, and Zhu Chuanli even took Song You’s side.
This infuriated Qing Dai quite a bit.
Due to her slow recovery of cultivation, she couldn’t contend with Zhu Chuanli for now, so she sent a Communication Talisman to Nan Xian, asking him to come and teach these two a lesson on her behalf.
Qing Dai glanced at Song You and snorted coldly in her heart.
Her intuition was indeed accurate.
This woman was nothing good!
Although Black Cloud Stone was a good material, as a daughter of the Immortal Emperor, what good items hadn’t she seen? Would she covet such a shabbily black broken stone?
She might not care for it, but it was another issue if someone stole it from her!
Even if she didn’t like it, it was her discovery. What right did Song You have to snatch it?
"Let’s go, move softly, don’t let that beast notice."
Zhu Chuanli’s voice came as he cautiously moved towards the other side of the crevice.
There was an exit on the other side of the crevice. Leaving from there, the outside beast wouldn’t notice them.
Just as Song You was about to follow Zhu Chuanli, Qing Dai grabbed her hand.
"Give me back the Black Cloud Stone."
Song You frowned, "I grabbed it first."
"Do you still have the face to say that? It was clearly my discovery; you rushed over to pick it up only after I said it was Black Cloud Stone!"
Qing Dai suddenly raised her voice.
Zhu Chuanli looked nervously at Qing Dai, "Don’t be so loud! The beast might hear us!"
Qing Dai held tightly onto Song You’s wrist, "Either give it back or I’ll start screaming and draw the beast here; we can all die together."
Song You struggled to shake her off, but couldn’t manage to, and her wrist turned red.
Song You glared at Qing Dai through gritted teeth.
"Are you going to give it back or not? Otherwise, I’ll start shouting."
Qing Dai stared confidently at her.
