Chapter 1305: Chapter 1261: The City Beneath the City, The Matter of the Disciple!

The immense relic rose from the depths of the earth, as if the entire heaven and earth were shaking, with the sky vault above constantly sprinkling down azure light.

"Rise! Rise! Rise!"

Within Xiao Chen, the sound of a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s howl erupted, and within his twelve Heavenly Meridians, rolling divine power roared like a frenzied dragon. With his current strength, not to mention a small city that was only a dozen or so miles in length and width, even a city of a hundred miles was within easy reach.

But the relic below, wrapped in an earthy yellow halo, was as heavy as the Ancient God Mountain, beyond his imagination. Its immense weight continuously plummeted downward, necessitating his uninterrupted control of the Mountain and River Seal, or else, once there was a pause, it would crash down again.

Looking at the relic that was now suspended from the hundred-meter deep pit, the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe held their breath, staring intently at the half-empty space.

Hum!

A sky full of pale radiance scattered, constantly rolling up the tremors of the void. The huge relic blocked the divine light of the sky vault, and an incredible suction force pulled it higher into the heavens.

"In!"

Finally, Xiao Chen let out a roar, his divine power transforming into a roaring divine dragon, pouring into the Mountain and River Seal. Instantly, the azure light trembled even more, a richer pale radiance sprinkled down, and the speed of the relic’s elevation increased.

Finally, in the midst of the falling pale radiance, the relic that obscured a piece of the sky vault was absorbed by Xiao Chen into the Mountain and River Seal Small World, leaving behind an immense deep pit upon the earth.

Hmm.

Having taken the relic into the Mountain and River Seal, Xiao Chen felt a momentary sense of exhaustion as if he had fought a great battle. The relic had a disproportionately heavy weight, incredibly so.

This actually intrigued Xiao Chen regarding the contents within the relic, its weight implied something special was concealed inside.

Soon, Xiao Chen returned to the Starry Sky Battleship to close his eyes and regulate his breath, while the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe had already withdrawn from the vast earth, for there was nothing left to glean from this land.

The warriors of the Gu Yuan could truly strip a bird of its feathers, a stone of its knife, an ancient tree of its fire, not letting even the slightest resource slip by.

Xiao Chen had annihilated the ruler of Rainwood City, and before he arrived at the relic, the Gu Yuan Tribe had already launched an attack on Rainwood City, and the outcome was predictable. With the ruler fallen, it was like the pillar of the entire city collapsing.

Armed with the Star Annihilator Cannon and with the divine beast King Tianma Xiao Jin stationed, Rainwood City could not hold out for long, and it was completely ruined, its city plundered by the Gu Yuan Tribe.

The Great Battleship had just arrived near this relic.

Xiao Chen moved the relic, leaving an enormous deep pit with a radius of over ten miles, and its deepest part was a staggering five or six hundred meters deep.

Under Tian Fang’s orders, warriors from the tribe descended into the deep pit to investigate once more.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you’re being overly suspicious," Huang Xiaotian said as he saw Tian Fang repeatedly searching back and forth in the pit, speaking in a casual, nonchalant manner while lounging lazily on a giant stone below the pit.

"I trust Eldest Senior Brother; I also feel that this place is very strange." At this point, Bu Canghai interjected.

"Sixth Junior Brother, why do you always contradict your Fifth Senior Brother?" Huang Xiaotian complained about Bu Canghai’s words.

"Sixth Junior Brother, what have you noticed?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Fang didn’t bother with Huang Xiaotian and asked Bu Canghai directly, to which Huang Xiaotian wasn’t concerned.

"Eldest Senior Brother, this huge pit is too soft, or rather the soil is too loose. In my perception, if the soil had been pressed for such a long period, it should be extremely compact, but instead, it feels very loose in between," Bu Canghai explained.

"So what?" Huang Xiaotian said indifferently. "With how vast the world is, nothing is unusual. Not to mention loose soil, even a river of lava would be normal."

"If there was something strange, our master would have discovered it long ago."

"No, if there was the presence of the kind of defensive light shield from earlier, it would be normal for our master not to notice, as those shields are indeed peculiar. Even if one probed with spiritual will, the feedback would be the illusions manifested by the light shield."

"Sixth Junior Brother, what have you discovered?"

Hearing Bu Canghai’s words, Tian Fang realized that his Junior Brother, with his peculiar abilities, must have discovered something.

"I’ve sensed the same aura as the earthy yellow light shield from the relic before, but it’s far too weak. I can’t clearly discern whether it’s emanating from the loose soil below or a remnant from the relic," Bu Canghai said.

"Since both of us brothers have this illusion, let’s continue digging deeper!"

Following that, determination flashed in Tian Fang’s eyes.

"Alright!"

Xiao Chen, who was regulating his breath with closed eyes in the Starry Sky Battleship, naturally had no idea of his junior brothers’ speculations. His body resonated with roars, surging spiritual qi absorbed through his Heavenly Meridians into the Small World, transforming into divine power and circulating through his body once more.

When the depleted divine power in his body filled once again, his hands manifested a golden mist, emanating a majestic and desolate presence, revealing an insubstantial divine shadow radiating endless sharpness.

It was none other than the divine shadow of the God Clan ruler he had vanquished earlier. He hadn’t been in a hurry to refine it; instead, he became curious about this shadow. In one day, he had encountered two ruler’s shadows.

One was the Purple Dragon Saint Child who used a strand of Purple Dragon Flame as the foundation to condense a shadow, and although this golden God Clan shadow was far from comparable to the Purple Dragon Saint Child’s, the method of condensing the shadow was of some reference to him.

This golden law shadow was crafted based on the divine blood of the gold God Clan as the foundation, and the strength of the shadow depended on the divine blood used for its refinement.

This indeed piqued Xiao Chen’s interest. Having now comprehended nine laws, if he could find enough spirit items, wouldn’t he be able to forge nine avatars? The nine avatars did not need to possess the strength of the original body; even having seventy or even fifty percent of the original strength would still be a terrifying force.

Just as Xiao Chen was pondering the art of avatars, below on the earth, his disciples had once again begun their excavation in the pit.

Boom! Boom!

Aboard the Starry Sky Battleship, at both the bow and stern, two Star Annihilator Cannons were shifting into position.

"Adjust the coordinates—both shots must land within a ten zhang deviation from one another."

At this moment, the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe had completely evacuated the pit.

Tian Fang stood in the void, finally bellowing a command.

Boom! Boom!

The two Star Annihilator Cannons fired in succession, two breaths apart, plummeting toward the same point. To ensure precise hits, Tian Fang had the cannons at the bow and stern fire consecutively.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Finally, a colossal explosion resounded from below on the earth, flames skyrocketing toward the Sky Vault, within the divine light that filled the sky, soil was splattering, scorched red by the searing flames.

Beneath the pit, an even larger, immense crater was blasted open.

"Again!"

Tian Fang did not hesitate and bellowed once more, causing the Starry Sky Battleship to rumble again from bow to stern.

Boom! Boom!

Within the still falling glow of flames, yet another towering mushroom cloud rose. However, this time within the surging fire, a different aura shot into the sky.

Found it!

A glint shone in Tian Fang’s eyes, and even the previously dispirited Huang Xiaotian’s gaze solidified.

"My heavens, there really is one!"

This was Huang Xiaotian’s exclamation of astonishment!

A relic beneath a relic, a city beneath a city!

Soon, Xiao Chen was alerted. He naturally noticed the situation outside from within the command tower but hadn’t paid much heed to the actions of Tian Fang and the others. However, he had not expected that they would indeed discover such a surprise!

One thousand five hundred zhang beneath the earth, there was a similar earthen-yellow shield covering the area, almost completely isolating any aura from escaping, the aura emitted was of the same origin as the relic that had been put away.

Soon, this relic beneath the city was explored and found to be much smaller than the relic above, with a circumference of merely a li. However, similarly, it encompassed Qiankun within, the space inside surely not as small as it appeared.

Following the same method, Xiao Chen once again collected this small relic into the Mountain River Seal, beyond anyone’s imagination that a relic could be concealed beneath another relic.

Truly, time had veiled too much history.

Inside the command tower, several disciples appeared before Xiao Chen.

"Jing Hong, your swordsmanship has been honed to the extreme. To advance further, the only way is a qualitative transformation. Your mentor can’t help you much with the path ahead."

Xiao Chen’s voice rose, "You specialize in swordsmanship, and the sword is an instrument of killing. Supplementing your swordsmanship with the way of the slaughter is one path. To transform, there is no other way but to kill, to sharpen your sword with killing."

"Disciple understands!"

"Xiaotian, lately your temperament has become increasingly lax," Xiao Chen’s gaze suddenly shifted towards Huang Xiaotian!

Immediately, Huang Xiaotian hurriedly spoke out, "Disciple acknowledges the error."

Xiao Chen was amused by this disciple. Had it not been for the embarrassment of having a lower cultivation level than his fellow disciples, this fifth disciple wouldn’t have seriously practiced his cultivation.

"And Bu Canghai, you three brothers have spent years conquesting in the Great Wasteland, slaying countless of the other races. The fortune of the Human Realm has become incredibly rich upon you, yet you all haven’t condensed a battle name. It seems you’ll have to follow the old path your mentor took, aiming for the title of Divine Marquis. But as of now, you’re still lacking the critical moment."

"Yes, mentor is discerning!"

Suddenly, the three disciples responded.

"Condensing the title of Divine Marquis requires a considerable amount of fortune’s favor. The simplest way to earn this favor is through the constant slaying of other races—the stronger or more talented the being from the other race, the stronger the fortune gained from slaying them."

Xiao Chen’s gaze swept over the three disciples, then continued, "Now, in this Small World, you have an opportunity. In the coming days, the three of you brothers are free to hunt down members of the God Clan. When we return to the Human Realm, we’ll see if fortune can be condensed to its pinnacle and whether you can ascend to the Divine Marquis."

While speaking, Xiao Chen tossed out three nine-colored small spears to the three disciples.

"If you encounter danger, these small spears can defend you against an attack. Your mentor will arrive shortly."

"Yes."

The three disciples took the nine-colored small spears and streaked out from the Starry Sky Battleship, diving into the depths of the Ancient Forest, beginning their journey of slaughter!
