"I wonder how Young Hero Shi’s current power compares to that of the Sky Origin Elder?"
Soone couldn’t help but be curious.
"Could the Sky Origin Elder save us?"
"No."
"Then tell who is stronger and who is weaker."
"It’s astounding. Back then, Young Hero Shi was rely an Earth Immortal, and that was only a few years ago. He is the first person to give hope that he might step into the Sky Origin realm," soone said with amazent.
After being saved, everyone thanked Young Hero Shi and then departed, so turning back frequently.
In their eyes, Shi Xiaole had now taken on a dazzling aura, one that set him apart from the rest, aloof from worldly affairs, inscrutable yet irresistibly intriguing.
After everyone had left, Shi Xiaole spread his hand, and a yellow bead shot out from a certain palace, falling into his palm.
This yellow bead was the sa size and shape as the green, azure, white, and blue beads he had obtained earlier, differing only in color. Shi Xiaole had discovered it unintentionally while searching the extraterrestrial temple with his psychic power.
In the palace where the yellow bead was located, there were also various other precious weapons, Spirit Armors, and so forth, with styles that were poles apart, likely stripped from the people captured by the extraterrestrial temple.
While the ladies were not paying attention, Shi Xiaole put all these items into the system space, and then left the extraterrestrial temple with them.
...
"How large exactly is this territory?"
While speeding across the desert, Shi Xiaole asked.
He wasn’t in a rush to return to the third sector because this place had sparked so shocking conjectures in Shi Xiaole, which still needed to be verified.
The one who answered was Fairy Yunni. She said, "I don’t know. Rainbow Island has always been outside the desert, and besides Rainbow Island, there are countless other sects and powers. In fact, just this desert alone houses dozens of powers not inferior to the extraterrestrial temple."
The extraterrestrial temple occupied only a corner of the great desert, which spanned tens of millions of kiloters. Ordinary people, let alone most martial artists, couldn’t traverse it in their entire lifeti.
Shi Xiaole was inwardly astounded.
Suddenly, Fairy Yunni said, "I once heard people from the extraterrestrial temple call this place the Overlapping Land."
"Overlapping Land?"
Shi Xiaole’s eyes flashed as though he had caught on to sothing.
Ever since passing through the Lost Forest, the Demon Bone inside him had beco exceptionally sensitive. It would vibrate slightly whenever he approached the master of Illusion Orchid Tower, yet there was no reaction with the other ladies.
That vibration was more pronounced when he was in the extraterrestrial temple.
Several days later.
The group saw a large stone fortress imposingly situated amidst the wind and sand. Engraved at the very top of the fortress’s main gate were the words, "Shi Ming Palace."
The Demon Bone vibrated once again.
"Wait for outside."
Leaving those words behind, Shi Xiaole slipped into Shi Ming Palace.
"What’s going on with Brother Shi?"
In the past few days, Bai Ruiting had been leaning on Shi Xiaole, taking any chance she could to cling to his arm, behaving extrely affectionately. She discovered that once she beca bolder and stopped caring about reservations, Shi Xiaole’s rejections—and even his powerlessness against her—beca a very amusing matter.
Seeing Shi Xiaole’s urgency, Bai Ruiting couldn’t help but feel worried.
"He must have sothing to attend to. Let’s just wait for him," said Qu Ni abruptly.
Shi Ming Palace.
Shi Xiaole caught a supre Heaven Realm Martial Emperor and didn’t bother to ask questions, directly using a psychic secret technique. After a while, he killed the other party with a shock.
Following the sa thod, he interrogated several more experts in succession and finally left Shi Ming Palace with a grave expression, stepping in a different direction with the ladies.
Thousand Leaves Pavilion.
Flying Dragon Hall.
Cloud Soaring Treasure Tower.
...
Within just half a month, Shi Xiaole had consecutively visited several powerful factions and then ventured out of the great desert, acting in the sa way, until at last, he heaved a deep sigh.
Everything was clear now.
As he expected, this Overlapping Land was indeed the overlapping area between the East Victory world and the world beyond the heavens, or rather, it should be said that it was a war preparation zone constructed by the world beyond the heavens over the span of more than a hundred thousand years to conquer East Victory!
The experts from forces such as the heavenly temple were the first group of masters sent by the world beyond the heavens to scout out the East Victory world’s strengths and weaknesses and to tily transmit intelligence back.
According to those extraterrestrial beings, due to the restrictions of East Victory’s laws, so of the stronger beings from their world temporarily could not descend. However, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to increase, eventually there would co a day when East Victory world could accommodate even stronger experts.
That ti would mark the beginning of the world beyond the heavens’ full-scale invasion of East Victory!
Currently, among those who had descended, a considerable number had already infiltrated East Victory, simply waiting for a command to strike both from within and without.
"The appearance of Bee Island was a few decades ago, so these extraterrestrials must have descended not long ago."
Shi Xiaole’s brows slightly furrowed.
The ergence of Bee Island was the result of a fierce battle between Shi Xuanzhong and his wife and their enemies. And in this land that Ling Yujie called the number one feng shui treasure spot, the Overlapping Land was coincidentally born.
Could there be a connection between these events?
Thus inferred, were those masters who attacked Shi Xuanzhong and Ling Yujie in those years really only after stealing resources and suppressing exceptional talents?
Or did they include extraterrestrials among them?!
Upon deeper consideration, Shi Xiaole suddenly had a feeling that an endless dark net was enveloping the skies above East Victory, ready to ensnare everyone within it.
"There’s still ti, those powerful beings have not yet descended. Moreover, it’s not like East Victory world doesn’t have its own hidden peerless experts."
Whether out of emotion or stance, Shi Xiaole leaned toward siding with East Victory world. Furthermore, this experience had given rise to a spine-chilling speculation.
The reason he was identified as having extraterrestrial blood likely stemd from the Demon Bone within his body.
But.
Was that Demon Bone really his own?
The Array System that illuminated the South Sea could clearly detect the extraterrestrial bloodline, but it had no effect on the main island; otherwise, the master of Illusion Orchid Tower and the two ugly elders would have long been hunted down.
This ant that the Array System was not perfect. Was his case overlooked because of Ling Yujie’s interference, influence from the Array System, or perhaps, because he was not of extraterrestrial bloodline after all?
Shi Xiaole didn’t dwell on these questions. To him, every doubt would eventually be resolved. What he needed to do was to beco stronger, stronger, and then even stronger. Once his strength was sufficient to disregard everything, no question would be too difficult for him.
Apart from the extraterrestrial forces, there were also many factions of East Victory warriors outside the great desert. When Shi Xiaole asked them how they ca to this place, the answer he got shocked him.
Heavenly Desire Origin.
A significant number of people claid this place was Heavenly Desire Origin!
They had reached the depths of the Heavenly Desire Origin, escaped the influence of the desire energy, but could no longer find their way out, so they had no choice but to permanently live here.
Shi Xiaole’s mind throbbed, struggling to make sense of it. Heavenly Desire Origin was in Flying Horse Dynasty, incalculably distant from the South Sea; how could the two possibly be connected?
However, considering that Rainbow Island had appeared in the Overlapping Land after being transported through space, it seed nothing was impossible.
Too many puzzles made Shi Xiaole deeply aware of his own insignificance. He promptly put them aside for the ti being.
The won had sworn oaths and could not betray Wuyuan Palace, but fortunately, they were not restricted in their freedom and were not eager to return. They stayed with Shi Xiaole, building interconnected wooden houses in the verdant mountains with cascading waterfalls and streams, seemingly planning to stay for a long ti.
Shi Xiaole smiled wryly and began to refuse, but was t with opposition from the won, especially Bai Ruiting and Qu Ni. When he considered that he was in the Overlapping Land and his Demon Bone was unusually agitated, which in turn increased his understanding, Shi Xiaole finally gave up on resisting.
In another year, the Land of Fate would open, a place rumored to have unmatched fortunate encounters. There was no reason for him to miss it; indeed, he needed to find a place to cultivate quietly.
