Chapter 1374 – Clouds of Suspicion
“Come here, over here!” A summoning voice that came from his soul transcended spacetime to resound in the Thought Body’s mind.
The summoning voice was one most intimate and familiar. It soothed the Thought Body’s rage, making it more calm and rational.
“Jailsea, what’s up with this person? Where are Xin Wuheng and the others?” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly asked.
When Ancient God Jailsea sent out his plea for help, he said that he was being pursued by Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng. Thus, Ancient God Ice Jade immediately led her team over, naturally so that she could take all the credit for herself. But when she arrived, she only saw Ancient God Cheng Yun.
As for Ancient God Cheng Yun’s situation, Ancient God Ice Jade somewhat sensed it, but she still paid him little regard.
“They ran off. This person is also a member of the Giant God Race. Kill him first!” Ancient God Jailsea immediately said.
Ancient God Cheng Yun had repeatedly ruined his plans and was extremely troublesome and hard to get rid of, leaving Ancient God Jailsea incensed. Ancient God Jailsea now hated Ancient God Cheng Yun more than he hated Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng.
“How incompetent! When you get back, I’d like to see how you explain things to Hall Master!” Ancient God Ice Jade shot Ancient God Jailsea a disdainful gaze.
It was easy to see that Ancient God Jailsea had long ago found Xin Wuheng’s group, but for the sake of his own selfishness, he didn’t inform the others. It wouldn’t have mattered if he had completed the mission, but Ancient God Jailsea failed, and he had suffered such a miserable defeat that he had even lost his two team members.
Ancient God Jailsea fell silent. This was also his worry. However, he still had an opportunity to save himself. As long as he could put on a good performance for the rest of the mission and play a major role in taking back the Ancient God Seal, the hall master and God Lord Stellar Aspect would probably not blame him.
Ancient God Ice Jade moved forward and gazed at Ancient God Cheng Yun. Since this person was being controlled by a Thought Body, why was it targeting Ancient Soul Hall, and why did it hate them so much?
At this moment, Ancient God Cheng Yun suddenly turned around.
“I’m coming!” Ancient God Cheng Yun put on a respectful expression as he excitedly said. He transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance.
“Don’t let him run!” Ancient God Jailsea immediately yelled. He was also rather confused. Hadn’t Ancient God Cheng Yun lost his mind? Wasn’t he heedlessly attacking him?
“What incredible speed!” Ancient God Ice Jade’s expression focused. She had somewhat underestimated Ancient God Cheng Yun.
“Stay here and tell me all your secrets!” As Ancient God Ice Jade coldly spoke, all the ice and snow around her expanded. In a flash, a bone-freezing chill filled the world, freezing almost everything in its tracks.
But this chill was more targeted toward the soul. Ancient God Jailsea’s soul body had already sustained heavy injuries, and he instantly found it difficult to endure.
In the distance, the Thought Body inside Ancient God Cheng Yun also sensed a freezing chill encroaching upon it and couldn’t help but tremble.
“This half-step God Lord is even stronger than Ancient God Jailsea?” Ancient God Cheng Yun whispered. The current him was much calmer than he was before and knew to observe and analyze.
But even if Ancient God Ice Jade was stronger than Ancient God Jailsea, he couldn’t be stopped if he wanted to escape.
“Time Fade!” Ancient God Cheng Yun called out, his body exploding with intense Time ripples.
An absurd scene occurred; Ancient God Cheng Yun rippled with strange light, his entire body became transparent, and then with a buzz, he transformed into an unfathomable ray of light.
Swish!
A moment later, the ray of light that was Ancient God Cheng Yun ignored the chill and flew away at an even faster speed.
“This is…” Ancient God Jailsea’s jaw dropped.
That Ancient God managed to flee while facing Ancient God Ice Jade at her peak strength. Just what escape technique was so bizarre and powerful?
The other two members of Ancient God Ice Jade’s team were also dumbfounded.
“That’s not some simple Time technique, but an even more profound use of Time. Could that Thought Body have belonged to that race before its death…?” Ancient God Ice Jade’s cold and jade-like face turned grim.
For a moment, her mind was engulfed in clouds of doubt and suspicion. If that Thought Body really belonged to that race, then she found herself somewhat unwilling to offend it. Fortunately, their objective this time was Xin Wuheng and his Ancient God Seal.
“Which direction did Xin Wuheng’s group run off in!?” Ancient God Ice Jade coldly asked.
“In the same direction that the Giant God Race member went just now!”
…
Meanwhile, Zhao Feng and the others were cautiously flying along. After all, this was a secret dimension covered in dangerous areas. In their condition, caution was absolutely necessary.
“Let’s get as far away from here as possible,” Xin Wuheng called out.
If Ancient Soul Hall had other members here, once they gathered together, they would definitely come in pursuit.
At this moment, the group suddenly noticed something strange behind them. They scanned with their Divine Senses and were immediately surprised.
“Ancient God Cheng Yun!?” Ancient God Sundermount called out in alarm.
The demonized Ancient God Cheng Yun had left an extremely deep impression on them. Ancient God Cheng Yun was now rushing toward them. Had he given up on pursuing Ancient God Jailsea and was now coming to attack them?
Ancient God Cheng Yun also spotted Zhao Feng’s group, a hint of anger appearing on his face. However, the secret art he used a moment ago to escape from the half-step God Lord had left him rather weak, and he was in no condition to keep fighting. Besides, he had a more important task, so he didn’t have any time to mess around with Zhao Feng’s group anyway.
“His expression has changed a lot,” Zhao Feng called out.
Ancient God Cheng Yun was calmer than before, but it was only the Thought Body that was calm. Ancient God Cheng Yun’s soul was probably completely suppressed by now.
Thwish!
Ancient God Cheng Yun flew past the group and vanished into the distance.
“He’s somewhat weak. Could it be that there really are other members of Ancient Soul Hall here?” Ancient God Resplendence suddenly asked.
Ancient God Cheng Yun treated Ancient Soul Hall as if some deep-seated grudge existed between them. Despite that, Ancient God Cheng Yun didn’t continue to pursue Ancient God Jailsea and was now fleeing in a weakened state. This meant that it was almost certain that other experts from Ancient Soul Hall had arrived. Thus, Ancient God Cheng Yun had determined that he was no match for them and chose to flee.
“No, it seems more like he’s anxious to get to a certain place,” Zhao Feng said. He was able to observe Ancient God Cheng Yun more closely.
“Should we follow him?” Ancient God Resplendence asked.
The Thought Body attached to Ancient God Cheng Yun’s body had undoubtedly once lived in this dimension. The place he was so anxious to get to was almost certainly an extremely important area.
“Right now, it’s best if we get away from this place and find a place to recover from our injuries,” Zhao Feng suggested.
The four of them were in awful condition. If they ran into a pack of Yao Gods or some other danger, they would probably all be finished.
“There’s a Heaven’s Legacy Race building up ahead.” Ancient God Sundermount’s eyes twinkled.
Earlier, when they went into the first Heaven’s Legacy Race building, they had basically confirmed that this was not an inheritance ground of the Heaven’s Legacy Race. Thus, he wasn’t as excited to spot another Heaven’s Legacy Race building.
“That isn’t the only one!” Zhao Feng could see far more with his eyes than the others.
He discovered that there were many more Heaven’s Legacy Race buildings. Moreover, these Heaven’s Legacy Race buildings were rather unique; they seemed to have been equipped with offensive machinery, as if they were powerful fortresses that could be used for both offense and defense.
All of these buildings showed signs of damage. Some of them had even been completely destroyed, leaving only piles of rubble.
“So many Heaven’s Legacy Race buildings!” Ancient God Resplendence said in surprise. She had seen much regarding the Heaven’s Legacy civilization before, but she had never seen so many war-type buildings before.
“Stop! There’s a pack of Yao Gods inside that massive gray fortress,” Zhao Feng suddenly stopped and messaged the others.
The group then cautiously made their way around and continued forward.
“A war took place here,” Xin Wuheng whispered.
“One side was related to the Heaven’s Legacy Race, or it might have been the Heaven’s Legacy Race itself!” Ancient God Sundermount conjectured.
The Heaven’s Legacy Race was ranked 3rd among the Ten Thousand Ancient Races. They were a mythical race with far too many legends.
“Could the former master of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury have been the Heaven’s Legacy Race?” Xin Wuheng pensively asked.
The Ancient God Seal was a special divine artifact forged by the Heaven’s Legacy Race, a key that could open this dimension. This dimension also contained many war-type buildings of the Heaven’s Legacy Race, and it seemed like some major event had taken place here.
The other two members of the Giant God Race and Zhao Feng also began to feel that the Ancestral Legacy Treasury was some mysterious ground linked to the Heaven’s Legacy Race.
Five days later, the group was still flying through the same region. At certain intervals, they would see another Heaven’s Legacy Race building.
“Eh? That giant silver tower…” Zhao Feng suddenly focused his gaze on a massive metal Heaven’s Legacy Race tower.
This silver tower was much taller than any of the other buildings they had seen, and it was very well-preserved. His previous experience told Zhao Feng that the more complete and larger buildings had almost all been occupied by Yao Gods, yet there were no signs of any Yao Gods living in the vicinity of this tower.
As they approached, Zhao Feng suddenly understood. This building was so well-preserved because all its entrances were sealed. Ordinary Yao Gods were incapable of getting inside.
“Let’s enter that giant tower and recover from our injuries. Then, we can think about what to do next,” Zhao Feng suggested.
Meow!
The little thieving cat immediately rushed out from the interspatial dimension, its eyes glimmering as it stared with great interest at the tower.
“That’s right! This cat is skilled in Heaven’s Legacy secret arts. It should be able to open this tower!” Ancient God Resplendence rejoiced.
Boom!
The little thieving cat quickly rushed up to the entrance and began to fumble around. A few moments later, the massive metal gates began to open.
Once the group entered, the metal gates closed once more.
“Thieving cat…!” Zhao Feng was amazed.
Once they got in, the little thieving cat immediately ran off.
Zhao Feng and the members of the Giant God Race first found a place so they could enter seclusion.
Earlier, Ancient God Resplendence fought against the Rank Nine Ancient God, so her injuries were the most severe, and her foundation had been damaged. Xin Wuheng, by using the God Lord energy, had also damaged his foundation. If these injuries were not promptly healed, it would hinder their future cultivation and become even more difficult to heal later.
Zhao Feng was in slightly better condition. Only his Eye Intent had been significantly damaged. After consuming some healing medicines, he could slowly recover from his wounds.
Swish!
Zhao Feng took out a glimmering piece of jade bamboo. The moment he took it out, a powerful Time energy engulfed his surroundings, causing everything to slow down.
Moonlight Sky Bamboo contained Time Essence and was a treasure for cultivating Time Intent. It could even increase the user’s ability to comprehend Time Intent.
At this moment, Zhao Feng’s Time Intent had already reached Level Five. Once he took the Moonlight Sky Bamboo, he probably wouldn’t need very long to reach Level Six.
One had to realize that Zhao Feng’s Five Elements, Wind Lightning, and other kinds of Intent were only at the peak of Level Six.
Zhao Feng swallowed the Moonlight Sky Bamboo and began to cultivate.
