Exploding God

Chapter 1135 Changsun Xuanying

As Changsun Xuanying strolled through the thunder and arrived at the hidden entrance to the ancient land of Guangxi, he let out a cold laugh.

"With the death of our ancestor Shijia, there is no one left in this world who can thwart my strategies. Do you, Changsun Yonglie, a mediocre talent, really think you can trap the true dragon?"

"Once I seize this great opportunity to overcome this calamity, the first person I will cripple is you!"

With a burst of unrestrained laughter, Changsun Xuan Ying abandoned his previous humble and low-key style, his eyes turning cold and his gaze confident as he strode into the white mist.

……

……

Half a day ago, Changsun Xuan returned to Jade Marrow Valley in accordance with his promise to the family head, Changsun Yonglie. After entering the valley, he went straight back to his residence and announced that he had gained some insights into martial arts and decided to practice seclusion for half a month.

Many people witnessed Changsun Xuanying entering the secret chamber, and some even saw him seal the entrance from inside the chamber.

In this way, unless the mechanisms are activated simultaneously from both inside and outside or the room is forcibly dismantled, it is absolutely impossible for anyone inside the secret room to leave silently.

There was no need to seal off the entrance, but he did it anyway.

This statement immediately put an end to the spies in Jade Marrow Valley, who quickly relayed the good news to the family head.

After hearing the news, Changsun Yonglie was completely relieved. He arranged for people to take turns guarding the entrance to the secret room and then stopped paying attention to it, focusing all his attention on how to unite with other families to obtain the "key" to the Tantai family.

in the secret room.

After calmly activating the Dragon-Slaying Stone, Changsun Xuanying walked through the training area without stopping, all the way to the washroom in the secret chamber, where he began to wash and change his clothes in an orderly manner...

After he was completely clean and refreshed, he walked back to the center of the secret room and looked at the sandalwood box on the desk next to him. Each of the four compartments contained a crystal-clear source crystal.

Source crystals, which are extremely rare on Earth and can only be born from super-sized behemoths, were found in this small secret room, with four of them.

This is the cultivation chamber of the core members of the Changsun family, and these source crystals are cultivation resources given by the family based on Changsun Xuanying's contributions.

Therefore, for the core members of each family, the time spent in seclusion is actually the time to comprehend martial arts and absorb source crystals.

Changsun Yonglie doubled the amount from the usual two source crystals, and therefore assumed that he had not treated Changsun Xuanying unfairly.

Ordinary people might think this way, but unfortunately, this does not include Changsun Xuanying himself.

Once inside the secret room, he seemed like a different person, no longer hiding the sharpness in his eyes. He casually grabbed the source crystal in the sandalwood box and put it into his waist pouch, then paid it no further attention.

Instead, his expression changed for the first time when he took out a black jade bead the size of a human eye from his belt.

It was an excitement that seemed impossible to suppress any longer.

"Without this [Shadow Shifting Pearl], I really wouldn't have been able to set up such a grand scheme."

Changsun Xuanying's eyes calmed down, and he firmly grasped the black jade bead in his right hand. The air around his body stagnated, and then he was covered by distorted white cold air, forming a protective aura around his entire body.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that the thickness of the protective aura far exceeds the normal level of a 10-star gale.

"Who says destiny is on my side?"

With a smug smile, Changsun Xuan Ying's robes swung violently, and a strong suction force came from his palm, forcibly stripping away the thick, cold aura covering his entire body and drawing it into his palm.

Changsun Xuanying's shadow resembled a three-dimensional projection whose signal was about to be interrupted, exhibiting abnormal distortions and fragmentations, and appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Suddenly, the extremely cold aura and his figure vanished from the spot.

However, the instant he disappeared, a black rift opened up from where he had been standing.

thump.

An ice sculpture landed on the spot, its appearance and outline identical to that of Changsun Xuanying.

However, wisps of black mist occasionally emerge and linger from the edges of the ice sculpture, locking in all the cold air that should have dissipated, making the entire ice sculpture eerie.

……

Fifteen miles outside Jade Marrow Valley, about a hundred meters underground, in a dark cave, a flash of black light appeared, and the ice sculpture that had been standing there disappeared, replaced by Changsun Xuanying holding a black jade bead.

He closed his eyes for about half a second and then opened them. It was as if two bolts of lightning flashed across the dark space.

Fluorescent stones flickered faintly all around, but they did not affect the vision of a 12-star martial artist at all.

Changsun Xuanying looked at the warm bead in his hand and carefully put it away, knowing that he could not use it again for ten days and could only wait for it to cool down again.

Natural treasures are opportunities for cultivators.

This Shifting Shadow Pearl was obtained by him when he accidentally fell into the forbidden zone on the edge of the Mist Plains—the Thundercloud Mist—in his early years. It can be considered a treasure obtained after going through countless life-or-death experiences.

Although it only has the single function of creating ice sculptures and swapping their positions, this swapping can ignore spatial barriers and enchantments. There are no apparent limitations on the distance of the swap; rather, it depends on the strength of the person wielding the bead. The thicker the protective aura, the longer the teleportation distance!

Therefore, this seemingly inconspicuous bead possesses extremely rare rule-based characteristics and growth potential! It is not inferior even to those A-level fog soldiers who have strategic importance.

Over the years, he has always carried it with him at all times, never revealing it to anyone. He has also used its teleportation ability to explore the thundercloud storm dozens of times, and has obtained the protective B-level fog soldier [Ice Flame Boundary Stone], which is stronger than Gang Qi, and six C-level fog soldiers.

For thousands of years, no one could enter the thundercloud storm zone, which became his exclusive treasure trove.

It can be said that this [Shadow Shifting Pearl] is the foundation of his existence.

Now, he has used the Shadow Shifting Pearl once again.

He will replace the one destined to face the calamity and become the chosen one of the Mist Plains!

After passing through the labyrinthine underground caverns, Changsun Xuanying shot into the air like an arrow, rushing swiftly towards the most hidden entrance to the Guangxi Ancient Land.

From this day forward, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely!

Changsun Xuanying was filled with boundless pride.

……

……

About fifteen minutes after Changsun Xuanying entered the Guangxi Ancient Land, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the sky.

The black dot was rapidly approaching the ground, its shadow growing larger and larger. It stopped two hundred meters above the ground, swirling with a white aura.

This is a giant white crane with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. When you see its bluish-green crest, its identity is immediately apparent.

The Song family's celestial bird—the crowned crane.

A person rode on the back of a crane. He had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were calm and deep.

He was none other than Song Tianhua, who had appeared at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, the ancestral home of the Ten Jia clan. It was he who had escorted Changsun Xuanying there.

But who could have imagined that the most humble, polite, and learned Changsun Xuanying would casually set up a grand scheme to deceive the world, drawing attention to the death of his ancestor and the earth-shattering prophecy, while the most detached and worldly-wise Song Tianhua would directly target Changsun Xuanying amidst all this chaos and confusion.

"Brother Xuan Ying, what exactly do you want to do?"

Song Tianhua murmured to himself as he looked at the white mist area behind him, which was blocked by thunderclouds and fog, and tried to ride the wooden-crowned crane closer.

But when they were still a hundred meters away, the crested crane began to tremble restlessly.

boom!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket carved cracks in the sky and struck the man and the crane fiercely.

Song Tianhua's eyes sharpened, and he pushed forward with his hands clasped together.

The cyan light shield flashed by and collided with the lightning bolt.

A shockwave suddenly erupted, and a rolling sound swept across the sky.

Suppressing his surging anger, Song Tianhua quickly controlled his crane to dodge and move away as fast as he could.

"I wonder what method he used to withstand such a terrifying bolt of lightning!"

Song Tianhua is quite powerful, even stronger than the elders of the other families. This is the inevitable result of the Song family's quiet cultivation away from the hustle and bustle.

But seeing Changsun Xuanying safely pass through the thunderclouds and fog while he himself could only be blasted away, he still felt a little frustrated.

However, this sense of frustration was only fleeting.

Song Tianhua was not without a method.

With a flap of its wings, the crested crane tore through the air and pounced towards another entrance like lightning.

Although there is a hundred miles between them, given the terrifying speed of the wooden-crowned crane, Song Tianhua is confident that he can catch up with Changsun Xuanying's whereabouts after entering the ancient land.

Changsun Xuanying meticulously orchestrated this deceptive scheme, his intentions must have been far-reaching.

Brother Xuan Ying, I hope you and I will not become enemies.
