Chapter 1222: Chapter 1216: Just Throw Money at It
The old beggar’s original na was Feng Cong, coming from a high-level world known as Stigma Continent, which was also a continent where Martial Dao flourished. However, in this world, technological civilization had developed to a level not inferior to martial arts civilization.
When Feng Cong was on Stigma Continent, he was also a formidable martial artist, creating a top-level organization with a close friend. By a stroke of luck, he acquired two volus of Martial Arts Classics in so ruins. Relying on these classics, he beca one of the top experts.
Later, he sought a successor intending to pass on his teachings. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a spy from another organization, and even his background and family history were just a story crafted for the sole purpose of getting his hands on those two volus of Martial Arts Techniques.
His fate was similar to Yao Chen from "Battle Through the Heavens". He was betrayed from both inside and outside, resulting in his Life Pattern being shattered. Except for the smallest piece remaining in his body, the other seven pieces were scattered all over. If it weren’t for a divine ability he possessed, he might have died on the spot.
After a painstaking search, he finally discovered one fragnt had landed on Haotian Continent, so he ca here.
In fact, the old beggar is now over 270,000 years old. Although his Life Pattern was shattered, the small remaining fragnt still granted him a life span far beyond ordinary people.
Yet, searching for a fragnt on such a vast land was like finding a needle in a haystack. As tens of thousands of years passed by, he never found any trace of that Life Pattern fragnt. As ti went by, his hope gradually faded, going from full of confidence to despondency.
Given his current rate of power decline, it might be a few thousand years before his power completely dissipates, and his life ultimately cos to an end.
Feng Cong was now entirely hopeless about the matter. All he wanted was to eat, drink, and enjoy himself in the remaining ti. As for his legacy, he thought of finding soone destined to pass it to as a blessing for them.
Zhang nglong’s generosity and enthusiasm, without any disdain for his filthy beggar’s appearance, made Feng Cong consider leaving his belongings to him.
"Your experience is quite similar to a friend’s of mine," Zhang nglong said, "He was also killed by his own student and eventually beca a remnant soul. But with that remnant soul, he found a good student and took revenge, even reconstruing his body."
The friend Zhang nglong referred to was naturally Yao Chen.
"I find you quite agreeable, let
help you with this!" Zhang nglong patted Feng Cong’s shoulder.
"Help ?" Feng Cong chuckled, "Your cultivation technique may be powerful, but you’re still too young. Maybe in tens of thousands of years, you’ll have the power to help
with revenge. But if I can’t find my Life Pattern fragnt, I might not have much longer to live."
"Isn’t it just a Life Pattern fragnt? How big of a deal is that!" Zhang nglong replied, "Are you sure it’s on this Haotian Continent?"
"I’m certain!" Feng Cong said, "I can roughly sense its location, which is why I found this place from among thousands of worlds, but my power is too severely depleted to pinpoint a more exact range."
"No big deal, I’ll ask around."
"Ask around?" Feng Cong was puzzled. It’s not like finding a route where you can just ask anyone casually; isn’t this nonsense?
"Makabaka!" Zhang nglong shot a spell into the sky. This is a spell specifically used by the intelligence network of the Anti-Pornography Task Force, and only the leader of each generation can use it.
In an instant, a figure appeared ghostishly beside Zhang nglong, "Greetings, Captain!"
Feng Cong’s eye twitched, "You’re the leader of the Anti-Pornography Task Force?"
Feng Cong had so encounters with this organization, though they never clashed interests. After all, Feng Cong ca to Haotian Continent rely to reclaim his lost Life Pattern fragnt.
What surprised Feng Cong was that everyone in this organization could easily hold a place in a high-level world, their power even exceeding martial artists of the sa grade there.
It was terrifying; it was known that with each increased world level, both Martial Arts Techniques and Gift for cultivation are at totally different tiers, yet such differences didn’t exist in the face of this Anti-Pornography Task Force.
"How’s your intelligence capability?" Zhang nglong asked.
"If there’s anything on Haotian Continent we can’t uncover, then no one else could!"
"I love that confidence of yours!" Zhang nglong chuckled, "Help
investigate whether there’s a Life Pattern fragnt on Haotian Continent!"
"Give us three hours!"
After that, the intelligence agent transford into a thick mist and vanished.
"Brother, just wait a bit, there might be news soon."
"Who exactly are you?" Feng Cong’s look and expression when facing Zhang nglong had evidently changed completely.
"Just a plain and simple handso guy," Zhang nglong laughed, "Don’t worry, isn’t it just a few Life Pattern fragnts? Once we find this one on Haotian Continent, I’ll join you in finding the other fragnts on Stigma Continent!"
"Why are you helping ?"
"None of your business, handso guy stuff!"
...
An hour and a half later, the mber from the intelligence agency returned.
"Seems it went smoothly," Zhang nglong said, "Since you’re back early, there should be results. Tell , what’s the situation?"
"Reporting to the Captain, according to the recorded history on Haotian Continent, there have been five occurrences of Life Pattern fragnts. Mr. Feng Cong’s fragnt should have descended to Haotian Continent 62,750 years ago."
"Yes! That’s about right!" Feng Cong was so excited that he almost jumped up, as he hadn’t provided Zhang nglong with any information, nor had he seen Zhang nglong introduce himself earlier.
In other words, in just an hour and a half, not only did they find information on five Life Patterns, but they also investigated his background, which required a profound depth of information and intelligence capabilities!
"Mr. Feng Cong’s Life Pattern fragnt was originally buried in a desert. Over twenty thousand years ago, it was excavated by a group of adventurers, one of whom by chance fused it into himself. Using the energy remaining in the fragnt, he beca a top-tier expert of his ti. However, after his death, this Life Pattern was lost for over ten thousand years."
"And then what? Where is it now?"
"At Haotian Comrce Guild! However, Captain, there’s sothing you must know first. The background of Haotian Comrce Guild is very unusual, remaining the only organization on Haotian Continent to date that’s recognized to have high-level world backing. Although on the surface it’s rely a comrce guild, its depth surpasses major Sects and the Holy Church of Shadow!"
"But I have information that they will be organizing a continent-wide auction soon, and this Life Pattern fragnt is listed as one of the headlining items of this auction!"
"Understood," Zhang nglong said, "Since it’s an auction, just throwing money will do the trick!"
