Chapter 296.
A blurred image, as if it was a mosaic.
The goal of Zhou An’s trip was the Psychic Space.
Within the Psychic Space, it was cold and silent.
The sky was still gray in color, while the ground was a scorched earth, this place was still as silent as before, and when one was in it, one would feel a sense of coldness coming from the head, which made one’s heart despair.
This trip, only the psychic space, can help himself solve the problem.
Just a moment ago, his mind turned sharply, thinking of many ways, and finally determined that the Psychic Space, was the only solution for him.
The jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty was assimilated by the stolen qi of the previous dynasty, so for Zhou An, it was almost insurmountable outside.
The only optimal solution was to use the psychic space to change the current situation within the psychic space.
Zhou An’s attempt was simple.
He had two methods.
One of them was to summon the Guile Assembly in the psychic space and let the Guile Assembly help him solve the problem.
It was impossible for him to summon it outside because there were too many experts outside, and the fact that he could make Guile regain consciousness would be known.
Secondly, it was Old Man Yang of the Psychic Space.
In Zhou An’s speculation, the Yang Lao of the Psychic Space, although he was hidden deep in the dark palace, Yang Lao was the true owner of the Grand Domain Dynasty’s Jade Seal.
If the Jade Seal came to the Psychic Space and Yang Lao sensed it, he might be able to help himself out.
Taking a step back, even if he didn’t have a sense, he still had the bottom card of the Guile Gathering.
More importantly, when he made the decision to enter the psychic space, the eight trigrams in front of him, that palpitating black mass completely disappeared and turned into a golden color.
This also represented that it was a brilliant idea for him to come in.
And at this moment when Zhou An came in, at this moment, something was happening in the black palace that was extremely far away from Zhou An.
Yang Lao was sitting on the ground and was meditating with his eyes closed.
He was still eliminating the bizarre aura from his body.
As a result of the last time, splitting out half of it and entering within the rift to mess things up, it caused his half-human, half-creepy component to shift a little.
The weird part was deepening.
So what Yang Lao thought was that after he slowly eliminated the weird part, naturally, he would be able to calm it all down.
It was a good thing that he was in the black palace, where there were numerous tombstones and reliefs that were the key to helping him restrain his own bizarre aura.
Nowadays, the person and the bizarre aura had gradually become smoother.
But what he didn’t expect was that just when he was about to put away his mind, suddenly, there was a meditative sensation that surfaced from his heart.
This feeling did not start out as violent, like a thin stream of water surging through Yang Lao’s heart.
Yang Lao fiercely opened his eyes, a touch of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, ”This is my jade seal, I didn’t expect to see it since that farewell, no, not just the jade seal, next to the jade seal, there seems to be an acquaintance’s scent, that’s Zhou An! How did he bring the jade seal to the psychic space?”
Doubts appeared in Elder Yang’s eyes, then he raised his index finger and pointed in the air.
In front of his eyes, a piece like a mirror appeared.
Through the mirror-like object, Yang Lao saw where Zhou An was and also felt the difference in the jade seal.
“Someone is communicating with my jade seal through the national fortune, who gave him the guts!”
Elder Yang stood up and spoke in a cloudy manner, “Moreover, it seems to be targeting Zhou An.”
Yang Lao raised his palm and gently tapped it towards the front.
His hand touched above the mirror, as if it had crossed over from countless layers of space, and grabbed the jade seal in Zhou An’s hand.
Zhou was still standing in place holding the jade seal when he saw a giant hand descend through the air and grab the jade seal.
Before he could react, immediately afterward, he was pulled into a void with the jade seal, and soon disappeared.
In the black palace, Elder Yang played with the jade seal in his hand, his eyes showing a few expressions of emotion.
Zhou An, on the other hand, stood by the side and finally sighed in relief, the tyrannical and incomparable jade seal, after falling into Yang Lao’s hands, flew into calmness, as if it had never been tyrannical.
“I haven’t touched it for a long time, and this time when I see it again, I feel very relieved.”
Yang Lao said while revealing a nostalgic look as he touched the carvings above the jade seal.
Zhou An rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “When my junior saw the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty, he brought it back for you, you see how understanding my junior is.”
He was purely talking nonsense with his eyes open, because when he got the jade seal, he directly stuffed it into his money bag.
Of course, he had come to the psychic space and nothing unusual had appeared, and Elder Yang hadn’t felt it either.
Zhou An estimated that perhaps the national fortune within the jade seal was not communicated, so Yang Lao did not notice.
Today, the national fortune within the jade seal was communicated, and Yang Lao noticed it, before incidentally helping himself to solve the internal and external problems.
To be honest, Zhou An also felt particularly amazing when he was pulled in.
Yang Lao’s strength, absolutely bizarre and unfathomable, worthy of being that man who could be the Lord of the World in the ancient early years, as far as that kind of operation across countless spaces was concerned, at least for the current Zhou An, it was completely impossible to do.
Yang Lao sniffed and swept a glance at Zhou An, his tone tinged with helplessness: ”What kind of things did your kid hold back, can I not know? You are just being set up by someone, so you need me to provide you with some protection.”
Zhou An hemmed and hawed and did not reply in any way.
“Elder Yang, what is the other party’s situation now?”
Now that the rightful owner was here, and the owner of this jade seal had gotten his hands on it, he was now curious to know what state the other party was in.
It was estimated that the other party didn’t expect that he had a top tier big brother covering him even inside this psychic space.
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, there were quite a lot of big brothers who covered him.
In the Great Chu Country, those few top level ones were all in his background.
And outside, he could call the Guile Rally out anytime, anywhere to wipe his ass.
Even in the Psychic Space, Elder Yang was his background.
In hindsight, counting carefully, Zhou An suddenly felt that he had somehow become a person with a monstrous background.
Elder Yang sniffed and faintly said, “When the national fortune backfires, they will not live long, and this backfire is long-lasting, they will die slowly, and they will even have a bad time with everything, and end up with a miserable death.”
“Stealing my national fortune luck, one must pay the price.”
Saying this, Elder Yang waved his hand and the jade seal of the Great Domain Dynasty disappeared into thin air.
Just at this time, Zhou An felt that there was so much wrong around him, as if he saw Yang Lao sitting on a huge incomparable throne, while all around him were prostrate courtiers.
Those bas-reliefs were emitting trembling and trembling, all showing their submission to Yang Lao.
Zhou pressed and stroked his chin, secretly saying that his previous guess was not wrong.
He had previously thought that the reason why Yang Lao still retained his strength was inevitably that he was still in the emperor’s line of work.
However, the half-human, half-creepy state had caused Yang Lao’s line of work, to undergo some subtle changes.
He might just have achieved another kind of emperor by taking those already dead sages as his subjects.
Now it seemed that everything was right.
“You’ve already seen it, yes, the state I’m in nowadays is another kind of emperor.”
Yang Lao said indifferently, “However, this kind of emperor when, in fact, life is worse than death, daily watching the once deceased people, in front of himself has been reduced to decay and dust, daily enduring the pain like a knife slash, that is, I have a strong inner heart, otherwise a different person here, is bound to go crazy.”
Zhou An nodded in deep sympathy.
If he were to be here in his place, looking at the tombstones of Yu Hang Ye Frost and the others, and accompanying them from time to time, it was possible that even with his firm heart, he would still be somewhat unable to carry it off.
Of course, this topic did not last long.
Yang Lao continued, “You haven’t come in for a long time, and I haven’t seen you for a long time, since you’ve come in, let’s talk about some other things.”
Although Zhou An did not know what it was, he knew in his heart that at this time, when Yang Lao spoke in this tone, it was definitely something extremely important.
Thinking about this, although Zhou An didn’t say anything, he had already made a show of listening with all ears.
Yang Lao organized his language, and gave a full account of how he had used half of his weird body to enter the rift, and also passed through the layers of obstacles to reach the other world.
Including the token that was taken out.
The corners of Zhou An’s mouth twitched slightly after listening.
He had guessed the answer to this matter by connecting the information he had gotten.
“Elder Yang, if I’m not wrong, that person should have something to do with the Black Jade.”
Zhou An told the story of what happened.
After hearing this, Elder Yang fell into silence and then sighed.
“I can’t imagine that in this world, there are still so many talents, like this method, in our time, basically no one would even think about it, but this way of his, it seems to be an alternative way out.”
Zhou An nodded, indicating that this was exactly its case.
Not just an alternative way out, it was simply an evil path.
The owner of the building was now, leading the remnants of humanity in the various corrupted worlds to rebel, not only did he cut down the bizarre power from the side, but he even managed to put down roots in the corrupted worlds, it was simply awesome.
The two of them had chatted about what they should have talked about.
Zhou An came in, originally just to solve the dilemma he encountered, and staying here again would not help in the slightest.
Elder Yang asked before Zhou An left, “Black Jade should be close to comprehending the eighth stance, when the time comes for the unity, that weird mass of breath that I gave you must be used, it can play a pivotal role.”
Zhou An expressed his understanding.
He didn’t want to stay here for much longer, so he prepared to leave.
Elder Yang was also ready to send Zhou An away, but it never occurred to him that when he was just about to do so, he suddenly froze for a moment.
This expression made Zhou An feel puzzled.
For someone like Elder Yang, who was in a high position of power and standing at the top of the world, it was truly undesirable for this expression to appear.
“Something is not right.”
Before Zhou An could speak, Elder Yang slowly spoke.
Only to see Yang Lao surrounded Zhou An, circling back and forth for several times, suddenly stopping and saying in surprise: “You kid, what kind of trouble have you caused, why do you have such a big grudge on your body?”
Resentment?
After hearing these two words, Zhou An looked back and forth at himself and realized that there was nothing unusual.
He couldn’t see any grievances either.
To say that resentment was something that was only unique to the bizarre, after all, anything that wanted to become bizarre would need to have sufficient resentment in order to do so.
There was no resentment at all in his place.
Yang Lao said, “You can’t see it, because that resentment is hidden extremely deeply, lurking constantly in you, once it gathers to a certain level, this resentment will explode, and at that time, you will become a unique existence that attracts weirdness.”
“If there is an extremely powerful weirdness, it will be the place where all hell breaks loose.”
Saying that, Yang Lao hooked his finger at Zhou An, as if he was ruffling an invisible line.
And as Yang Lao hooked his finger, Zhou An felt something that was being drawn away.
Soon, a trace of grievance qi, which was only the size of a strand of hair, surfaced between Yang Lao’s fingers.
Yang Lao stared at this trace of grievance qi and said, “It looks extremely tiny, but this grievance qi is so pure that it is terrifying, and it is even mixed with something you are familiar with.”
“Something I’m familiar with?”
Zhou An asked strangely, “I’ve never been a cut above when dealing with weirdness, where is there anything I’m familiar with.”
Elder Yang pointed to the black jade next to him, “This trace of resentment contains some of the emotions of the Eight Extreme Techniques, if my guess is correct, it should be that someone has used this thing and set you up.”
The aura of the Eight Extreme Techniques?
When Zhou An heard these words, he immediately guessed what happened.
Actually, this matter was very easy to analyze, it was the Vertical Leader.
Not long ago, the Verticality Leader had said that he had dropped the Eight Extremities into the world within the rift, causing the Eight Extremities Founder, who had already been transformed into a weirdness, as well as the former Verticality Leader to go berserk.
It was precisely because of this that the entire rift began to go haywire.
Now, it seemed as if he himself was a part of the Verticality Leader’s plan.
This trace of resentment, if carried within the rift, it was expected that those powerful shenanigans would prioritize attacking themselves, and would arrive even if they trekked through the mountains.
“Now that this trace of resentment has been extracted, has it been completely resolved?” Zhou An asked.
Yang Lao shook his head and said, “It has not been resolved, but I can help you make a slight change.”
A small change?
Zhou An felt strange and did not know how to make the change.
Just then, Yang Lao flexed his fingers and this trace of resentment directly merged into the black jade.
Seeing this, Zhou An then asked, “Elder Yang, what’s the situation, why did you flick the grievances onto the black jade?”
Black Jade looked around in a daze, not knowing why this matter had anything to do with her, still pulling Zhou An’s hand, making a curious face.
Elder Yang said indifferently, “This trace of resentment, fused with the breath of the Eight Absolute Techniques, when Black Jade fuses the Eight Absolute Techniques, coupled with the mass of air that I gave him, the chances of success will become higher, even though you will still attract weird attacks when you enter within the rift, but this indirectly, improves the chances of Black Jade’s fusion.”
When Zhou An heard these words, his face revealed a great joy, “If that’s the case, that’s really great.”
It had to be said that the Vertical Leader was also a wonderful person.
According to this method, Black Jade’s fusion of the Eight Extreme Techniques would be much smoother when the time came.
This was an indirect favor.
Zhou An had thought that this trip over was just to settle his own affairs, but he had not expected that he would also settle Black Jade’s affairs along the way.
“In that case, many thanks to Elder Yang.” Zhou An arched his hand and thanked him.
Elder Yang waved his hand, “There’s no need to thank you, the world in the future will still depend on you little ones.”
The topic of conversation was here, in fact, it was basically over, Zhou An did not want to say more and was ready to say goodbye.
Elder Yang also had no intention of leaving Zhou An behind, and then waved his hand.
Zhou An felt a flash before his eyes, and in the next moment, he had left the black palace and appeared in the same place.
It was still the Psychic Space, still the same gloomy environment, but at this moment, Zhou An had completely relaxed.
With the crisis lifted, he took Black Jade’s hand, and immediately revolved the air in his body and left the Psychic Space.
While Zhou An was leaving the Psychic Space, at this moment, at the bottom of the lake in the Imperial Palace of the Da Qi Kingdom, a tragedy was taking place.
Meng Yun fell to his knees on the ground, his forehead veins showing, covering his head with both hands as he tore out in agony.
Those members of the former dynasty, who were in the same state as Meng Yun at this moment, were all constantly rolling on the ground.
The kind of pain that the National Fortune backfired on was imaginable.
It was a world of difference compared to the torture of the Zhen Gui Division.
If the torture of the Zhen Gui Si was 1, then the pain of the National Fortune Revolt was 100.
Even for Meng Yun and these remnants of the former dynasty, they simply couldn’t resist it.
When the pain hit, it was like a tidal wave.
Meng Yun looked at his palm and realized that there was a crack on it.
He gritted his teeth and stood up.
Meng Yun knew that he might have truly failed this time, and the price of failure would be that the former dynasty would be completely destroyed.
But even so, he didn’t want to stop there.
Only to see Meng Yun take out a black jade from his bosom, and on top of the jade, there was light twisting inside.
In addition to the glow, within the black jade, there was also an ancient and desolate aura emanating from it.
This piece of jade was the Great Wind Country’s national fortune and the last card of the Great Wind Country.
He was also the crippled national fortune, and due to the fact that the national fortune had completely turned into the Great Chu Kingdom, even if it was preserved, it had completely turned black.
He was truly not expecting that just because of a letter, a choice he made, the members of the present-day Great Wind Kingdom were already at risk of total annihilation at this very moment.
But he was somewhat unwilling, and this unwillingness and grudge he held was all vented on Zhou An.
This black jade, after inspiring the tattered national fortune inside, would suppress all the injuries, and it would allow him to come out from the bottom of the lake and slaughter Zhou An.
For Meng Yun, his grudge against Zhou An was not at all small.
Because Zhou An had, at first, damaged his face.
Now even with this tattered piece of national fortune, Meng Yun estimated that it wouldn’t last long.
The overthrow of the Great Wind Kingdom was certain, but before it was overthrown, he had to settle Zhou An once and for all.
Thinking of this, Meng Yun reached out and crushed this piece of tattered National Luck.
Soon, the National Luck stretched out a silk thread from the black jade, connecting the hundreds of members of the former dynasty present.
Each and every one of these people were supreme experts, but after this black filament connected to them, from their bodies, a trace of aura was withdrawn, eventually surging into Meng Yun’s body.
Meng Yun’s strength, on the other hand, was gradually increasing.
He himself only had the strength of the Absolute Enlightenment Realm, and after crushing this piece of jade and extracting that strength.
His strength, which had come to the peak level, and courageously took a step forward.
–The Ascension to Heaven.
Above the Realm of Absolute Enlightenment was the Realm of Ascending to Heaven, and this realm was only for those who truly stood at the pinnacle, let’s say Eunuch Wei and the others.
And now, Meng Yun relied on this evil method to briefly stay in the Realm of Ascension.
After he had completely consumed the national fortune in this tattered jade, what awaited him was death.
Those hundreds of remaining members of the Great Wind Country, on the other hand, had been turned into dried corpses.
In addition to the backlash of the national fortune, there was also the reason why they had their power extracted by Meng Yun.
“Zhou An!” Meng Yun clenched his teeth, then rushed up into the sky.
The currents around him parted in both directions under his impetus.
Soon, he arrived above the lake.
And when he arrived above the lake, that strength of the Heaven Ascension Realm continued to spread around him.
Inside the imperial study, Emperor Feng Teng also sensed the aura and stood up violently, his brows furrowed tightly.
“What’s the situation, they failed, this is using the national fortune to inspire the last of the power to insanely raise himself up a level, how could he possibly use this method?”
Only someone at their level would know the end of using this method, only death.
But Meng Yun had used it.
In Emperor Feng Teng’s mind, there was already an answer.
Perhaps it was a failure.
“Now that I only want to make Zhou An completely annihilate before I die, do I care or not?”
Emperor Feng Teng was in deep thought.
In a situation like this, if he cared, then it would be easy for someone like Meng Yun, who was new to the Ascension Realm, to take care of it.
However, it wouldn’t be possible to kill Zhou An.
If he didn’t care, he would most likely face censure from the Great Chu Kingdom.
After carefully weighing the situation, Emperor Feng Teng finally decided to leave Zhou An alone.
And the Great Chu Kingdom’s reprimand did not matter at all, as he was already planning to turn the tables.
Thinking about this, Emperor Feng Teng stopped caring and closed his eyes.
And while he was making his decision, at this moment, Meng Yun had already sought out Zhou An’s scent and arrived above this other courtyard.
Zhou An and those resting All Saints Realm experts, who had also sensed it, appeared in the courtyard in front of them, gazing at this powerful and terrifying figure.
Zhou An furrowed his brows, ready to summon the Guile Gathering out at any time.
However, in front of his eyes, the golden eight trigrams were a biggie.
He was a little confused as to why, but there was truly no danger in front of him.
Meng Yun stared at Zhou An, not wanting to say a word of nonsense.
It was because his time was short now.
He raised his hand and pointed a finger.
When this finger appeared, the sky was instantly covered in dark clouds.
A gigantic palm made up of dark clouds enveloped this other courtyard, as if it was going to connect with Zhou An and wipe out all the All-Saint realm experts.
Everyone present felt a terrifying pressure, except for Zhou An who narrowed his eyes and looked straight at the huge palm.
Before his eyes, the Eight Trigrams remained a golden color, representing great fortune.
Although he couldn’t figure it out, he believed in his Heavenly Worker’s Divine Calculations.
As he watched this huge palm made up of dark clouds stretching for thousands of miles and was about to fall, just at this time, a voice leisurely sounded.
“Our family’s people, you dare to move?”
