Chapter 583: Chapter 508: Time Node

But just as he moved, the Balance Scale in his mind trembled.

[Turtle-riding Scholar Sword Immortal]:Sword Qi soaring into the sky, severing his hundred-cycle life.

What did it mean?

Was it urging him to quickly complete the task?

How was he supposed to do that when he didn’t even know the target of the task?

Frowning, he proceeded.

The Balance Scale trembled again.

[Turtle-riding Scholar Sword Immortal]

The information was even less this time!

Uh...

Wang Zijia was momentarily nonplussed, figuring that "Rujixian" should refer to himself, or to Li Shenghong.

So he needed a turtle to complete the "Turtle-riding Scholar Sword Immortal" identity and integrate into this era?

Where the hell was he supposed to find you a turtle?

The Balance Scale trembled again, pointing in a direction.

"That direction is... the center of the beast tide?"

So, clearly, he hadn’t gone to the ancient times, hadn’t begun the game with a turtle-riding sword immortal body, he had been forced to land in this era.

But he still needed to find a turtle himself to set up the identity?

What was this, mandatory karma for integration?

Thinking about the faint fluctuations he’d felt earlier in the center of the beast tide, Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and slowly made his way towards the center of the beast tide.

Mainly because, given the current situation, who else could he trust if not the Tao Fruit Golden Finger?

As Wang Zijia stepped forward, the mud in front of him quickly turned into crystal, as if consciously, it hurriedly compressed to the sides, revealing a tunnel in front of his eyes.

Wherever he walked, a straight crystal tunnel was instantly formed.

"Ni- Ninth Brother, am I already dead? Or am I dreaming?" Li Shengshi, who was on his back, gaped at the sight.

Wang Zijia didn’t have the practice to bother with the kid, not up to this point. He only had a general understanding of the situation, and many things were still in a mess.

His mind was bewilderingly filled with jumble that needed to be sorted out, and he didn’t have the time to fuss over this little brat.

The only reason he was bringing him along was because he was called: Li Shengshi!

And after the last time at the Three Realms Temple, when Master Faxin turned into a skeleton, his final gift had informed him that the ancient times he had experienced were real.

It was not an illusion at all!

If he was indeed thinking of that very Li Shengshi, he could benefit immensely if he played his cards right!

Even at the risk of failing the task, he had to seize this kid!

The Ninth Prince of Dagan, also known as Li Shengshi, the timeline fitting precisely over seven thousand years ago, when the Spirit Suppressing Domain was on the eve of a schism, following the fall of the last Immortal Venerate, as the right path crumbled and was about to split into three and re-divide the land.

Adding up all these facts, it was highly likely already.

...

As Wang Zijia quickly headed towards the center of the beast tide, the massive fluctuations became even more intense.

Even underground, Wang Zijia could still feel the powerful fluctuations.

Only upon approaching, did Wang Zijia discover that what he had felt before, which he thought was the beast tide being driven, was completely a misperception.

It was actually the result of a battle between two giant demonic beasts with unknown levels of cultivation, causing the fierce beasts to panic and cause the tide due to their fight!

This discovery made Wang Zijia silently heaved a sigh of relief. It was not herding, which greatly reduced the danger of his arrival.

...

After moving forward for a while!

Even underground, dozens of feet deep, and at least several hundred miles away from the battle zone, Wang Zijia could feel the horrifying commotion, and his spiritual sense was thumping non-stop.

His brain felt slightly prickling!

"Could this fluctuation be the result of a battle between major demonic beasts in the Tribulation Stage?"

"At this level, even if they are fierce beasts, they should be able to regain spiritual wisdom, become awakened, and transform into demonic beasts, right? Such demonic beasts won’t easily fight to the death!"

As Wang Zijia thought of this, he hesitated for a moment, did not continue forward, but stopped instead.

Putting down Li Shengshi from his back, Wang Zijia began to check himself.

Appearance, body shape, and so forth, all these marked that this was his original self, the peerless youth whose face was not hidden.

There was a storage bag around his waist. He checked it and found that it was miserably poor.

Just a little richer than an ordinary wine monk, a net worth of just over a hundred thousand magic money, nowhere near enough for the Ninth Prince of Daqian!

"Ninth Brother, what should we do now?" Li Shengshi asked nervously.

From just now, Ninth Brother had become so serious, making Li Shengshi feel anxious.

"Wait!" Wang Zijia was still sorting out the various pieces of information in his mind and answered tersely.

"Waiting for what?" Li Shengshi asked, puzzled.

Channelling his patience, Wang Zijia pointed topwards and said, "Wait for the battle that caused the beast tide to end!"

"Oh!" Hearing this, Li Shengshi’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something else.

Seeing Wang Zijia’s furrowed brows, as if he was pondering something, Li Shengshi finally swallowed his words.

...

When Wang Zijia and Li Shengshi arrived, the battle was already nearing its end, given that the beast tide had already broken through the city and was charging inland.

So Wang Zijia and Li Shengshi only had to wait for about half an hour before they felt the fluctuations above them begin to diminish.

Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment, the magical power fluctuated, and a stealthy spherical light shield formed in place, enveloping the area around him.

"I’ll go up and take a look, you stay within this circle!" Wang Zijia pointed to the light shield and said.

"I’ll go with you, Ninth Brother!" Li Shengshi offered quickly, as if he feared Wang Zijia would leave him behind.

Wang Zijia shook his head and repeated, "Stay inside the circle, got it?"

"Hmm, I heard you." A child of just over a decade old, facing the only adult left after the great chaos, was quite obedient.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia didn’t delay any longer and quickly moved upwards.

While ascending, he carefully sensed his surroundings. Once he confirmed that all battle fluctuations had ceased and he couldn’t sense any other movements, Wang Zijia finally relaxed.

After a while, he found himself trapped just as he was about to reach the surface.

Above his head were layers of ice and permafrost radiating a profound coldness.

The intense chill was unbearable even for him, a God Monarch, and the permafrost couldn’t be influenced and transformed by mana.

He threw out the crystal spear and poked it a few times.

"Thunk! Thunk!"

The dull sound echoed, as if it was striking against steel.

Feeling the exaggerated effect of the ice, Wang Zijia decided not to clash with it head-on.

He quickly fled in the direction he came from, away from the center of the battle, along the permafrost layer adjoining the ice layer and the ground.

While advancing, he tried tapping the icy dust.

"Thunk! Thunk!"

"Thunk! Thunk!"

"..."

"Crack! Crack!"

"Huh?" After drilling several dozen miles, the sound underwent a clear change.

Wang Zijia immediately stopped. His hand fluctuated with mana, and the Five Ghosts fused into a sword.

"Borrowing from False Spirits: Ancient Transport Formation!"

Amidst the raging surge of mana, Wang Zijia thrust the sword upwards.

The sword collided with the permafrost layer, slightly holding it off for an instant.

"Crack!"

With a cracking sound, the permafrost and the cold ice covering it were pierced by Wang Zijia’s sword, creating a hole that continuously enlarged under the sword light.

In an instant, Wang Zijia broke out of the ground, rose into the sky, and hovered in the air, looking down.

Then Wang Zijia saw a scene that was extremely shocking.

The entire world in front of him seemed like it was frozen, everything was exquisitely lifelike and beautifully magnificent!

But underneath this beautiful sight of a world frozen for thousands of miles was the intensely cold frost that could kill anything in an instant!

This wasn’t a manifestation of Primordial Spirit level strength. It was definitely a desperate attack executed by a great cultivator in the Crossing Tribulation stage!

Why was it not an Earth Immortal...

Didn’t the previous information say it? It’s now the 112th year of the ancient calendar after Immortal Fall. The last two Earth Immortals of the Spirit Suppressing Realm had both fallen during their intense showdown!

...

With a slight gathering of his mind, Wang Zijia headed towards the center of the battlefield again.

The further he flew in, the more transparent the ice crystals on the ground became.

From the initial snow-white color, they eventually became as clear as crystal, and under the sunlight, there was no trace of frost smoke rising, but instead, they flickered with a seven-colored light.

However, within this splendid sight, Wang Zijia felt the bone-chilling coldness very clearly.

The remaining fluctuations of the spell alone probably would have frozen a Perfected to death!

If an ordinary person, or even a child, were thrown down there, they’d be directly turned into an ice sculpture upon landing.

With reverence, Wang Zijia slowly neared the center of the battlefield.

In the next instant, Wang Zijia saw a huge ice mountain.

Within the ice mountain lay a gigantic turtle, a dragon turtle as big as a mountain!

The dragon turtle was completely still now, frozen inside the block of ice. Frozen alongside it was an abnormal double-headed monster snake.

The snake body was hundreds of feet long, wrapped around the turtle shell like a dragon, with a snake head biting on the neck of the dragon turtle.

It seemed like the two great Crossing Tribulation beasts had died together?

The monster snake was described as abnormal because its entire body was golden and covered with dense black spots, like a leopard skin disease. On its back, there were a pair of peculiar cicada wings.

If that was all, it would be just a peculiar golden Chinese leek snake.

However, its two heads, one was a normal snake head, the other was an insect skull that looked like a cicada head, and there were even several cicada feet on the snake body.

"Huh? A cicada? Golden? Time Sinners’ Spring and Autumn Cicada?" Wang Zijia was suddenly shocked.

However, before he could do anything or had any time to do anything—Because he was worn out just thawing the ground beneath his feet—let alone what was in front of him. Clearly, they were the core objects of the spell. They would rather die than fail the freezing process. This included a turtle and a snake.

Inside the amber-like icy crystal mountain, Wang Zijia witnessed with his own eyes the death of the monster snake as it exploded into a strong silver light.

He was too familiar with this energy—the power of space-time, the power within the silver river.

Wang Zijia, who had guessed the situation, didn’t turn to run away. If the snake demon was still alive, he probably wouldn’t have been able to escape anyway.

As the silver light exploded, the next moment, the giant snake shed its skin like a cicada. All of its power and flesh and blood surged toward its cicada head.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the monster snake turned into a hollow snake skin. A giant spotted golden cicada the size of a cubic meter drilled out of the snake skin and vanished into the void.

Leaving behind the carcass of the dragon turtle and the empty snake skin in the ice mountain.

At this moment, the Balance Scale vibrated.

[The 98th generation of the Sinners has started, please recover the origin of space-time as soon as possible!]

So it was. The so-called ninety-seventh generation node time referred to this!

...

Meanwhile, the direction of the "Turtle" on the Balance Scale became a little clearer.

Wang Zijia looked in the direction indicated by the attraction, and in the distance could vaguely see a sparkling lake, which appeared very special in this world frozen for thousands of miles.

He floated to the front of the lake, where he could see a large island in the center of the lake.

There was no complex structure on the island. Looking down from the sky, he could clearly see a green-scaled giant egg, measuring several meters in diameter, at the center of the island.
