Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 982 Making a lot of money

But... all of this happened so suddenly!

Moreover, separated by the Yin-Yang barrier, it is impossible to sense the changes at the other end of the passage in advance!

The moment the power of the sun hit its face, it almost cried.

“Buzz——!!!”

An extremely deep and muffled roar came from inside the Stone King's body!

The seemingly indestructible stone body was as if it had been cleaved by an invisible giant wielding a divine weapon, instantly riddled with countless huge gaps, and fragments of stone flew everywhere!
The power of the sun pierced through the physical defenses and violently impacted its silicon-based divine soul!

Even with his profound resources, the Stone King could only withstand this sudden attack for less than a breath.

"Bang!"

Once again, it embedded itself deeply into the earth, completely losing consciousness and falling into a deep coma.

Before losing consciousness, her thought was: Can I really accompany the young master to Luoyang?

If even the Stone King suffered such a miserable fate, one can only imagine what his fate must have been as the Black Mountain Demon's most hated target!

A cyan-gold figure entwined with a dragon's shadow was violently "spit out" like a meteor, trailing a long, energetic echo!

It didn't look like it flew out on its own; it looked like it was blasted out by an irresistible force!
Boom!
A deafening roar, far more terrifying than any sound before, erupted!

The figure crashed onto the desolate wilderness of Dazexiang with a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow!

The earth was easily torn, squeezed, and bulged up like tofu!
A giant crater with a diameter of over 100 meters was formed instantly, with smooth walls like a mirror and irregular radial cracks on the edges!

Even more terrifying was that the extreme heat and true essence of the Great Sun that remained on the figure, belonging to the divine light of the Sun Fire, erupted in full force at the moment of impact!
The water in the pit and surrounding area was instantly evaporated, and the soil and sand melted and crystallized directly under the ultra-high temperature, turning into a depression that shimmered with a glass-like luster!

The brilliant light and overwhelming pressure from the sun in the past rose into the sky from the center of this giant crater!

Despite being obscured by the clouds and mist of Dongting Lake, the extraordinary phenomenon of "the sun rising from the plains" was so astonishing that the intense light and unique fluctuations of laws that pierced through the clouds inevitably alarmed certain beings throughout Ji County and even further afield...

Deep within the crystallized crater, the figure of "Water Lord Xu Qing" remained in the same posture as when he was blasted down, his hands gripping the front of him tightly.

The residual power of the formless and intangible spear of sunlight was forcibly imprisoned in the palm of the hand as if it had a physical form, emitting a sizzling sound that made one's teeth ache.

Fine droplets of blood seeped from every pore on its body, but as soon as they appeared, they were instantly evaporated into dark red blood mist by the terrifying residual heat around it, adding to the tragic scene.

Xu Xuan and Xiao Qing dared not relax for a moment, and used all their combined power to fight against the last aftershocks.

And this is only the residue after the "Its Darkness Fades" technique was used and its power was weakened by most of its strength!

After several more agonizing breaths, the raging divine light of the sun finally subsided and dimmed, like burnt-out firewood.

At its core, the most refined "Great Sun Fragments" of matter, having lost its energy support, condensed from nothingness, transforming into a palm-sized, dark red crystal with natural patterns on its surface.

With a "ding," it landed lightly on the glazed floor at the bottom of the pit.

The moment the crystal landed, the black humanoid figure in the center of the pit, which had been enduring the attack for so long, suddenly swayed. The cyan-gold light surrounding its body peeled off like shattered porcelain, and the enormous dragon shadow let out a low roar before dissipating.

The figure split in two!
Xiaoqing was the first to appear, staggering before regaining her balance.

"Wow, that was intense! I almost turned into a roasted snake."

Her face was flushed red, not from shyness, but from the intense heat and boiling of her blood and energy caused by the power of the sun.

The faint sound of rushing river tides could be heard around her, the power of the Three Lakes system was spontaneously circulating, calming the heat and injuries in her body. There were even wisps of smoke rising from her hair and clothes, carrying a burnt smell.

Xu Xuan was in no better shape; his sixteen-foot golden body had dissipated, and he had returned to his original appearance.

The once majestic golden statue now looked as if it had been thrown into lava and tempered. Its surface was covered with charred marks and even had tiny pits like those left after a lava bubble bursts. Strands of pure Buddhist power were constantly dissipating from these damaged areas.

The two, looking extremely disheveled, exchanged a glance, both seeing in each other's eyes the relief of surviving a disaster, and a hint of... barely concealed excitement.

A small dungeon, conquered!
The injuries on his body looked frightening, but most of them were external injuries and energy erosion caused by enduring impacts and high temperatures.

Although the internal injuries caused by the shock of the Great Sun's true meaning were somewhat serious, they were not a fatal threat to the leaders and deputy leaders of Baoan Hall, who had fought their way through Jiangnan and were experienced in countless battles.

They are so experienced!

Almost the instant they separated, they began stuffing pills into their mouths with perfect understanding.

In an instant, the aroma of medicine mixed with the smell of burning filled the giant crystal pit.

As long as you don't die a horrible death on the spot, it's not a big problem.

Besides, getting injured doesn't matter, as long as the gains are significant!
Xu Xuan carefully picked up the dark red crystal from the bottom of the pit. It wasn't as hot as he had imagined; instead, it had a restrained warmth. But with the slightest touch of his spiritual sense, he could feel the deathly stillness and rage within it, like the calm before a massive volcano erupts.

I couldn't help but marvel at how such a small thing, under the microscopic level of spiritual perception, was actually composed of over a million fine needles of light, each as thin as a cow's hair, made entirely of the essence of the sun. Its structure was exquisite and unparalleled, as if created by the heavens and earth. It was truly amazing.

Aside from its external structure, the deeper energy channels and law imprints within it are not clearly "seen" by the spiritual sense, or rather, one dares not forcefully look at them.

It was a chaotic state of deathly stillness and extreme explosion, with an energy level that was somewhat beyond the normal range.

Forcibly probing into one's divine sense would likely result in immediate self-destruction, with one's soul being scorched by the inherent true meaning.

Come to think of it, even cultivators who specialize in the path of the soul rarely dare to have their spirit leave their body when the midday sun is blazing.

"Old Hei, after going 'studying abroad' at sea, actually managed to get his hands on a treasure of this caliber. He's really... incredibly lucky."

Xu Xuan's tone carried a complex meaning, it was hard to tell whether it was admiration or sarcasm.

Recalling that attack just now, which transcended Yin and Yang, pierced through the barriers of seven layers of hell in succession, its speed was so fast that it almost touched the level of laws, and almost reached the limit that this world could bear.

If it weren't for Xiaoqing's "Its Darkness is Obscured" supernatural power being able to activate in a very short time, thus restraining this fatal blow.

They're probably really going to suffer a major setback this time, and will have to resort to some costly survival measures. They might even have to "die" once.

Xu Xuan thought to himself, "I wonder if Senior Brother Ruoxu can perfectly dodge this attack..."

Ruoxu, atop Nanshan Mountain, felt a chill run through him. What demons and monsters were plotting against him? Or had something happened to his junior brother again? And what about that strange phenomenon in the north?
The two hall masters in Dazexiang, while still feeling lingering fear, were also overjoyed.

"We made a fortune! A huge fortune! Old Hei is really something!" Xiao Qing also came over, her body still steaming, but her face was full of the joy of her harvest. "But is it crazy? How dare it just throw away such an unrefined treasure?"

"Whether it's crazy or not is no longer important." Xu Xuan waved his hand. "Once it's in our hands, it's ours."

He then handed the heavy sun crystal to Xiaoqing.

"After you get back, give it to your sister," Xu Xuan instructed. "Let her see if there's a better way to use it. Disposable projectiles are too wasteful. We can't be like Lao Hei, a spendthrift who risks his life to give away weapons."

"This stuff has miraculous effects on those ghost kings and overlords in the underworld!"

What wasn't said aloud was that it would be used against those guys in the White Lotus Sect who manipulated the soul, and it would be very suitable, as it was specifically designed to counter the soul path.

Just as Xu Xuan and Xiao Qing were overjoyed with their harvest, the other members of the Justice Team finally returned from all directions.

They were all covered in dust and dirt, their clothes were tattered, and their faces still showed signs of shock.

The feeling of suddenly facing death and being as insignificant as an ant is quite a shock to these young boys and girls who are still young and relatively inexperienced.

Only Li Yingqi, with his thick skin and long-standing "experience" at Baoan Hall, acted as if nothing had happened.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's retreat immediately."

Xu Xuan's spiritual sense swept around and saw that the clouds and mist that had originally covered Dazexiang and Dongting Lake had been burned away and dissipated by the power of the sun just now, and the sky was exposed again.

They immediately realized that the strange phenomenon of "the sun rising from the ground" had been too loud and had probably attracted countless eyes, so they had to move immediately.

He had a clear mind and quickly began making arrangements:
“No need to clean up the battlefield.” Xu Xuan pointed to the mess around them, especially the huge crystal pit. “That last burst basically cleaned it up for us.”

"Now, we'll split into two groups."

Xiaoqing, along with several young swordsmen from Mount Shu, immediately retreated to Hongze Lake in the northeast.

They could 'inadvertently' leave some traces on the road, or spread some news, and shift the blame... well, the focus of this incident to that 'white-haired monkey' under the Huai River.

Then immediately change course, move along the Yangtze River, stop by to offer incense to the Dragon King and report the situation, and finally return quietly to its old nest in Jiangnan.

As for myself.

Carrying this stone spirit, let's head back to Jixian County first.

Clean up all those White Lotus sect members lurking in the city!

While we're at it, let's use some tricks to leave behind some strong ghostly aura at the scene as a trace.

Having done all this, we continued our journey towards the Liang Kingdom.

The magistrate of Ji County had previously provided information about a 'good friend,' and Xu Xuan was going to go and see what was going on.

As for the ordinary people of Ji County... they are still safe.
