Chapter 180: Prosperous Like a Painting Building
Song Jiulai turned her head to look at Xu Qingchuan.
Under his disbelieving gaze, she said, “Who says we can’t use magic treasures?”
Xu Qingchuan: “?”
Didn’t they just enter and find out they couldn’t?
They couldn’t even summon their magic treasures!
However, no amount of secrets could be explained anymore.
At this moment, the small world of the secret realm began to collapse. Xiao Yushu and the others, who had finally broken through the barrier, rushed over and said, “Brother Qingchuan, we’re here to help you…”
Before they could even finish speaking, they felt the space tremble.
It wasn’t like this when they were teleporting.
Tao Yetian’s expression changed as he saw the space collapsing, “This small world is about to collapse, have the secret realm fragments been discovered?”
“How is that possible!”
The other two also exclaimed, looking at Xu Qingchuan and Song Jiulai, who were the only ones flying in the main courtyard.
Song Jiulai turned her head, and when Xiao Cui transformed into honey, a silvery-white glowing object flickered within the honey.
Song Jiulai knew without thinking that it was definitely a good thing.
Similarly, Xu Qingchuan saw it too.
Without a second thought, he swung a long saber formed of raging flames at Song Jiulai out of thin air.
Song Jiulai dodged by lowering her head and retaliated with a Palm Thunder, “Brother Tie Gen, why are you so unethical? Shouldn’t everything follow the principle of first come, first served?”
While speaking, her feet moved swiftly, landing in the honey.
This honey was an extension of her magic treasure, harmless to her.
Unfortunately, the others had also noticed her movement.
“Fragment!”
“It’s a fragment!”
“We can’t let her get it!!”
Tao Yetian and the others attacked Song Jiulai without hesitation.
All sorts of cultivation techniques were unleashed towards Song Jiulai, with wind and rain combining to form a terrifying, dark tornado that swept towards Song Jiulai, adding further instability to the already collapsing small world.
Song Jiulai was caught by the wind and forced to land a few yards away from the fragment.
The spatial fluctuations grew more intense.
The small world was collapsing; without preparation, one could easily be kicked out of the Moonlight Secret Realm.
With the strong winds and flying rain, Song Jiulai was soaked.
Her lips were also a little pale.
It was just a minor after-effect of the intense battle, nothing serious!
Xu Qingchuan looked at Song Jiulai and said fiercely, “The fragment is not yours!”
Although Song Jiulai didn’t know what the fragment was.
She knew these people wouldn’t give up.
Unfortunately, she was never one to reason.
And she was also unethical.
Moreover, this was something she had obtained herself!
“Your ancestor is going to show you what cheating looks like—”
While boasting, Song Jiulai unreservedly took out pills and inhaled them to replenish her Spiritual Energy. A series of over a dozen Palm Thunders struck Xiao Yushu and the others.
Then she summoned seven giant Ice Blades, all aimed at Xu Qingchuan.
With such a dense barrage of attacks, even with the pills, her head still felt dizzy.
Song Jiulai took a Tier 4 Blood Replenishing Pill and a Qi Replenishing Pill together to stop the dizziness, and then fired several Large Fireballs at them.
If the cultivation technique wasn’t enough, she’d make up for it with a barrage.
This kind of frenzied, unmasked attack forced Xiao Yushu and the others to retreat.
They stared in disbelief at Song Jiulai’s reckless consumption of pills, utterly incredulous.
“Impossible, where did her spiritual medicine come from?”
The Mustard Seed Bag couldn’t be opened, and magic treasures couldn’t be used.
Could her medicine be hidden in the air?
But it was precisely during this opportunity that Song Jiulai delved deeper into the honey and grabbed the fragment.
Her hand easily felt something cold as she reached into it.
As the object fell into Song Jiulai’s hand, the others became anxious. Just as Xu Qingchuan was about to attack again, he suddenly felt the spatial fluctuations change.
Silver moonlight descended, and his pupils contracted.
It was the Moonlight Space.
If he continued to attack, he would be pulled into a separate space to duel Song Jiulai.
She could defeat the mastermind behind the secret realm alone and enter an equal world; did he truly have the confidence to win?
Considering his declining level, Xu Qingchuan hesitated and did not attack further, thus losing his chance.
The others also saw the fluctuations of the Moonlight Space. Just as they were about to be teleported, they exchanged glances and ultimately did not choose an opponent.
However, their eyes were filled with unwillingness.
“Boom—”
A stream of light shot into Song Jiulai’s mind. Before she could recover, the surrounding space completely collapsed.
Everything shattered into fragments, then gradually dissolved, until finally, the world fell silent and returned to oblivion.
***
“Pfft.”
When Song Jiulai woke up, her breathing was a little difficult.
She got up, and with a splash of water, she actually surfaced from the water, spitting out a large mouthful of water.
She almost suffocated.
She looked around; the lake surface shimmered under the moonlight.
This was a lake.
The calm lake surface, illuminated by the moonlight, created a serene atmosphere. No insect chirps could be heard, making the scenery quiet and profound.
She had gotten out of the lake.
“What is this place?”
Song Jiulai performed a simple water spell to dry herself.
The System said, “I don’t know, but we’re still in the secret realm. We’ve likely switched to a small world.”
If they had left the secret realm, the scenery wouldn’t be like this.
Even though her state hadn’t recovered after switching to a small world, Song Jiulai still felt a bit dizzy. The after-effects of excessive combat meant she had to endure some hardship even with the help of pills.
“What fragment did I… get just now?”
The fragment was something Song Jiulai didn’t know about when she entered, but judging by the cultivators’ reactions, they did.
And something had appeared in her mind.
Her cultivation had dropped back to the Early Foundation Establishment Stage. In the Sea of Consciousness she had opened, a rhombus-shaped fragment floated quietly, rotating slowly.
As if sensing Song Jiulai’s attention, before she could react, scenes that felt like reality suddenly unfolded before her.
“Why has such a curse descended upon my Yunzhou Continent?”
“The Wu Di Sect will not fall, and Yunzhou will remain stable.”
“Is the Empress Daughter dead? Where did she die?”
“She died at the end.”
In those scenes, within blurry faces, people spoke words that were difficult to understand.
She could understand them, but they didn’t sound like human speech.
Perhaps their cultivation was too high; Song Jiulai couldn’t see their faces clearly at all.
After watching the scenes, she stood frozen.
Three seconds later, she and the System spoke simultaneously, “Riddlers, get out of Yunzhou Continent!”
Clearly, this fragment was indeed just a fragment, providing scattered information.
Besides the Wu Di Sect, Song Jiulai knew about it.
She had received the information from Mu Qiu, and it was told by the System.
The Wu Di Sect was a hidden sect that had been completely annihilated.
This information clearly indicated that the Wu Di Sect’s existence had been forcibly erased.
This proved that there had indeed been a Wu Di Sect in the past.
And this Empress Daughter…
Just as Song Jiulai was about to ask the System how the other Players were doing after three days, she saw the fragment explode and transform into a small model of a Main Building, appearing in Song Jiulai’s Sea of Consciousness.
Song Jiulai’s breathing suddenly quickened.
【Prosperous Flowers Building】.
This suddenly appearing name entered Song Jiulai’s mind.
Judging by its name, it was a beautiful name, and the aura emanating from the magic treasure indicated it was a genuine Earth-grade magical treasure.
An Earth-grade magical treasure could be directly connected to one’s mind.
Only after connecting could one know what it was.
Binding an Earth-grade magical treasure had no side effects, and since it was a reward from a secret realm, it was generally a good thing, right?
A magic treasure!
She currently had no magic treasure, and her only Combat Magic Treasure had just been used.
Fortunately, the System also scanned it and said, “No problem, use it.”
