Perfect Double Agent

At this moment, the Silver Crocodile was berserk, its Divine Fire Realm power boiling, its whole body surging with silver light. It roared, and the sound waves rolled, causing the entire earth to split into pieces in an instant. A small dragon was vaguely visible, startled. With a flash of purple light, it disappeared back into the earth and fled quickly.

"Hurry, follow them!" Yuechan urged.

"What were you thinking, sending a Spirit Transformation cultivator like me to chase after a divine medicine?"

"Boss Bai, I'll add more money!" Yuechan took out a small bottle, which made Bai Ye gasp for breath. Even his gaze couldn't help but fall on the small white bag on her slender waist that seemed to have an endless supply of contents.

"I'll chase him, I'll chase him to the ends of the earth."

"Let's give it our all!"

In an instant, Bai Ye's eyes turned red. He refused to believe he couldn't empty the small bag. If it weren't for the need to do long-term business and maintain his good reputation, he would have almost grabbed it directly.

Chapter 72 Stone Carvings

The sky gradually brightened.

In a mountain range, a purple dragon flew swiftly forward, carrying a hazy light that flickered across the earth, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing into the ground, emitting strange cries.

Behind it, a gleaming silver crocodile pursued relentlessly, leaving the earth riddled with holes and no place intact in its wake.

This is extremely terrifying. This mountain range is not very large. There is only one silver crocodile in the tens of thousands of miles around. It seems to be the overlord of this area and moves with complete impunity.

However, perhaps because the Dragon Poison had provoked the Silver Crocodile more than once, although it appeared panicked, it actually escaped with fluid movements and extreme agility. This caused the Silver Crocodile to give up after exhaling two white breaths and turn to leave.

"Awoo!"

The evil dragon medicine cried out, exhaling clouds and mist, wiggling its butt on a rock and bouncing back and forth, performing a series of bizarre actions. Finally, it rolled its small eyes, straightened its body, and kicked its legs, pretending to be dead, displaying an unbelievable level of intelligence.

However, the other party completely ignored it, which shows that the silver crocodile is already immune to it.

"Another boring day..."

A faint fluctuation of divine thought emanated from the little dragon, who yawned, patted its behind, and walked away, swaying as if it were a drunk dragon.

It's clear that this evil dragon herb is extremely extraordinary. Although it can't compare to the elixir of immortality, its intelligence is absolutely rare.

The space rippled slightly, and the two figures were both tense and uneasy, even Bai Ye was no exception.

But instead of showing themselves, they followed the little dragon, wanting to see where it was going.

Generally speaking, the birthplace of such a miraculous medicine is basically a forbidden land or a natural protected place. Otherwise, it would not be able to survive to this day and still be able to happily go home after provoking the silver crocodile.

Xiaolong's speed didn't seem fast; he staggered along the way, sometimes crashing into trees. He would then viciously spit out a breath he had been holding back for countless years at the trees, causing them to grow rapidly and become incredibly vigorous.

This sight made the two people hiding in the shadows stare wide-eyed. In this area, the surrounding trees were very strange. Most of the trees were ordinary, but some were covered in purple crystals, full of vitality, and exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, like spiritual trees.

"Can it enlighten spiritual plants?" Yuechan asked in surprise, growing more and more fond of the little dragon as she looked at it, and occasionally it became restless.

"It must be due to the essence it expelled."

Clearly, this is a dragon with an extremely vicious temperament. It breathes on people at the drop of a hat and doesn't even spare trees; it's incredibly ferocious.

However, the little dragon's next move was even more confusing. It passed through the forest, stood in front of a mountain wall, and disappeared into it in a flash, without even trying to conceal its actions.

The stone wall is located on the side of a barren hill. It is more than ten meters high and has a very rough surface. Apart from a few patterns that look like they were casually carved, there are no other entrances.

The two arrived and immediately revealed themselves, standing in front of the stone wall. Their gazes were drawn to the stone carvings above.

The first image is a jade bridge that spans the Milky Way, traverses the cosmic curtain, crosses a remnant of the universe, and disappears into a chaotic void. Only the first half is visible, which is quite strange, as if it is describing an unknown place.

The second picture is a sword embryo shrouded in ethereal mist, slender in shape, carrying wisps of indescribable Daoist aura. Just standing there quietly, it captivates the mind.

The third image is even stranger; it's not a weapon, but rather a wide sleeve of a robe.

Its surface is covered with intricate patterns, extremely eye-catching, as if it fell from the sky, about to cover the universe and the boundless earth.

"What is this..." Yuechan's face was a little pale. Her gaze swept over it briefly, without lingering on it. Instead, like Baiye, she focused on the fourth engraving.

This is also a type of object, but unlike the previous two, this one is a bone tower shrouded in chaotic energy.

This tower has nine stories, soaring into the clouds and reaching the heavens. Under the influence of a certain force, it seems to have broken through the universe, vast and magnificent, grand and imposing, as if it can suppress the primordial chaos of heaven and earth. Facing it is like facing a celestial king, causing them to be shocked from the bottom of their souls.

Yuechan and Baiye simultaneously took a few steps back, their faces deathly pale. Fortunately, it was just an influence from the stone carving's energy field, which its master had erased, and it was not meant to actually harm anyone.

"Why do I feel like it's a certain tower?" Bai Ye thought to himself, feeling that it looked a lot like the small tower, but he had never seen what the small tower looked like and couldn't be sure.

The not-so-large stone wall only has four carvings. There should have been several more behind it, but for some unknown reason, they were erased, leaving only these four carvings from an unknown era.

Bridge, sword, sleeve, tower—each piece seems to represent an ultimate expression.

But the moment Yuechan reached out and touched the sword embryo on it, she vanished instantly.

The speed was so fast that Bai Ye could hardly react, but upon closer inspection, he saw a different scene.

Yuechan is still there; she hasn't truly disappeared. Instead, she appears in the second engraving. Opposite her, there is another figure whose face is obscured. He holds a sword embryo and seems to be demonstrating a very unique sword technique while fighting Yuechan.

"Inheritance!"

Bai Ye was surprised and his gaze fell on the remaining three pictures. First, he ruled out the Nine-Layer Bone Tower. If the other party was related to the Little Tower, given the Little Tower's unreliable personality, the possibility of it leaving behind a legacy was really not high.

As for Yuqiao, it's more like a special place.

Finally, Bai Ye's gaze fell on the sleeve that concealed the universe, and he slowly reached out his hand.

At that moment, his hand touched the stone carving, and he clearly felt a slight pull, but the next instant, he found that the world around him had changed.

This is a void space, without any human figures as imagined, nor sleeves. The entire space contains only billions of runes like stars, and a snow-white arm that stretches across the void.

It emitted wisps of celestial light, casting down vast expanses of holy radiance, piercing through the Milky Way as if breaking through this universe and entering another world.

Faintly visible at that end, a hand blots out the sky, its fingers long, slender, and impeccably white, like pillars supporting a hazy universe composed entirely of densely packed symbols.

"This is……"

Bai Ye's eyes widened instantly. He suddenly thought of a possibility, and what happened next confirmed his guess.

The void trembled, the universe roared, and it was as if an endless wind was blowing across the entire world, causing the heavens and earth to shake and the void to collapse.

Billions of runes fell simultaneously, the arm and the universe together descending to the earth like a terrifying meteor shower, its momentum awe-inspiring.

This was not destruction, but a reorganization. All the light and runes were falling in one direction, gradually condensing into a celestial figure there.

Chapter 73 Endless

The woman was ethereal, her body radiating divine light and covered in runes. She was as sacred as a fairy descending to earth, and her mere presence made the entire void lose its color.

At this moment, Bai Ye felt the suppression on his body completely disappear, and he returned to the late stage of inscription.

But at that moment, the woman also attacked. She was very powerful, at the same level as Bai Ye. Her clothes fluttered, and immortal light surged. Her sleeves fluttered gently, and her movements seemed very soft, but the moment her sleeves swung, a great wind split the sky.

At that moment, the raised sleeves of the robe magnified, instantly covering the sky and earth, as if they could swallow the sun, moon and stars, and melt the universe, terrifying beyond measure.

"Could it be... a hidden universe within a sleeve?!"

This is a terrifying supernatural power, renowned in ancient times, far surpassing the mere techniques of the upper realm today.

Bai Ye's pupils contracted, his body's instincts screaming warnings, as if he sensed the impending danger of death.

At this moment, he finally understood why the little dragon was so at ease. Perhaps to enter the area behind that stone wall, he had to defeat this woman who seemed to be a fairy.

"boom!"

Countless transparent runes surged from Bai Ye's body, like a sea, quickly stabilizing the world and freezing everything.

Space is king, time is supreme. He uses time runes to fight against the hidden universe in his sleeve, and time to counter space.

At that moment, the world seemed to shatter like glass with a loud crack.

But what was alarming was that the sleeve was still there; it was not broken and remained unchanged, directly enveloping Bai Ye and taking him inside.

It's not that he's weak, but rather that he lacks true time manipulation abilities and cannot contend with the "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve." It's as if he has a lot of internal energy, but no martial arts techniques to use it, so he can't fully unleash the potential of his internal energy.

At this moment, Bai Ye remained calm. Runes around his body surged, forming a large sun on his surface that enveloped him and resisted the refining power of the space.

The sleeves were still undulating, as if countless great forces were spreading out. In the shadows, a pale white hand descended from the sky within the sleeves, its five fingers as white as jade, each line clearer than ever before. It was surrounded by the sun, moon, and stars, and held a rotating nascent universe in its palm, which suddenly slammed down.

This is astonishing; the energy is so magnificent and vast that, in the instant it descends, it is like the hand of a celestial king, creating the universe and covering heaven and earth.

"A world in the palm of your hand!"

Bai Ye was instantly stunned. This was an unparalleled divine power of the ancient monk lineage, which was extremely dazzling in the ancient times and possessed unfathomable abilities.

Now, the world within the sleeve and the world in the palm of the hand are combined, one after the other, perfectly connected, and unleashing unprecedented power. The world is collapsing, the void is shattering, and time is dissolving!

The divine light was boundless and dazzling. The moment a giant hand fell, it was accompanied by the falling of billions of stars, carrying the embryonic form of the universe, crashing towards him.

It was terrifying, it was dazzling! Boundless divine light burned, endless divine power boiled, and a single palm covered and destroyed everything. No matter how powerful your magic was, I could cover the sky with one hand!

Blood seeped from Bai Ye's entire body under that palm, his bones were cracking, and his internal organs seemed to be about to shatter.

At this moment, he remained calm, his eyes gleaming, his blood surging, runes appearing one by one, divine light emanating from him, and small bells resonating within him…

"When~"

A bell rang out, its sound crisp yet powerful, melodious and lingering, as if coming from the end of time, returning to the very beginning.

He did not use the Anlan Spear or the Six Paths of Reincarnation, nor did he use the Grass Sword Technique or the Unique Cave Heaven. Instead, he used pure time power to fight back, trying to force out his own potential under pressure.

"When~"

The sound continued, like the sound of time, or like the tolling of a bell belonging only to heaven and earth, bringing his surroundings to a complete standstill. Even his body stopped breaking apart, which meant that it had some effect.

"When~"

But when the third bell rang, a strange scene appeared. His soul seemed to have been cleansed, and a scene appeared deep in his memory.

"Grandpa, what is time..."

"Time is the most fundamental force in the world. Though invisible, it always exists, and all things and all spirits are under its influence."

On a rocky hill in a valley, an old man and a young man sat facing each other. The old man's gaze was calm yet weathered. He raised his sleeve and gestured with his hand.

In that instant, the valley changed, as if it were being eroded by an invisible force. The sun and moon decayed, all things withered, and heaven and earth grew old.

It seemed that everything vanished under that palm.

"Time is invisible; it exists not only within heaven and earth but also beyond them. Whether human or immortal, who dares to say they can truly break free from the shackles of time? We are ultimately just a grain of sand in that ocean of time."

The old man remained calm, and with a wave of his hand, time reversed and space became disordered.

At that moment, the child realized that his surroundings had changed. He was no longer in the valley where he had lived for many years, but was standing in a dark void.

It was so cold and so vast here, without boundaries or end, like a vast universe, and he was just a tiny speck within it.
