第两千七百四十五章 神秘的泥土

Shattering the void, it was beyond reach for other cultivators. Yet to this woman, it seemed so effortless and pleasant, simple in nature.

Indeed, one could say it was breathtaking.

Moreover, she herself still bore serious injuries.

Lin Xuan sighed, his expression filled with envy.

This was not surprising.

No matter who was placed in his position, witnessing the earth-shaking and heart-wrenching strength of Fairy Hundred Flowers would have made them yearn for such power.

However, envy held no meaning. The path to cultivation was the right course. Although he was now so weak as to be like an ant compared to her, holding onto the Azure Star Sea as a treasure gave Lin Xuan confidence that one day, he too could become such a great cultivator.

Of course, this would require countless hardships and efforts.

But as long there were such rewards, these minor trials and tribulations were nothing.

Lin Xuan was confident about his future.

However, at the moment, he had no time to linger here.

Although the Naelong Realm was vast, the speed of those great cultivators was also incredibly subtle. If he continued to dawdle, powerful cultivators might arrive at any time.

Then, Lin Xuan would not believe that he could easily let him go. Escaping would become a major headache.

Lin Xuan would not make such mistakes.

His immediate priority was to leave this place quickly.

With his mind racing, Lin Xuan's actions did not slow down.

He waved his sleeve, and a flicker of spiritual light emerged, sending an ancient-looking long spear flying out.

Grasping it firmly, he poured all his magical power into it. Then, raising his right hand, he fiercely swung it forward.

A burst of spiritual light shot forth, forming a crescent-shaped blade that rippled through space. A spatial rift appeared in his line of sight.

Lin Xuan's face lit up with joy as dark magic energy surged around him, enveloping him and shooting towards the front.

There was no trouble encountered, and soon, Lin Xuan returned to the chaotic state.

Indeed, this was chaos.

Within a few hundred miles, everything was nothing but emptiness. His divine sense was compressed within a dozen feet of space.

Clearly, this was where Fairy Hundred Flowers had clashed with True Toad Jin Yue. The primordial explosion had turned it into an empty void.

He successfully returned to the Naelong Realm.

Lin Xuan exhaled in relief after confirming this point. A large stone had been lifted from his heart regarding spatial laws. He had only touched upon them and was far from mastering them like Fairy Hundred Flowers did. Using the Abyssal Spear, while it provided some effect of shattering the void, he could not fully grasp its subtle nuances.

In other words, it wasn't a matter of going anywhere at will.

Just now, his strike with the Abyssal Spear had been precise to the millimeter based on where he came from.

While there was a 70% chance of returning to the Naelong Realm, involving spatial laws made it uncertain whether this estimate would hold true.

A slight mistake could send him to another realm.

In that case, re-entering here would require more effort.

Fortunately, such worries were unnecessary. He had indeed returned successfully.

His luck was still good.

But there was no time for further thoughts now. Lin Xuan's entire body glowed with green light as he prepared to leave this place.

However, his movements paused as if he had discovered something amiss.

No, not a problem, but a small fist-sized piece of earth floated about several feet away.

It quietly hovered in the empty space.

This wasn't an eye-catching anomaly. Most cultivators would likely ignore it after such a long time since the disrupted laws of nature were slowly recovering, and this chaotic state couldn't last forever.

Given that, the appearance of a small piece of earth was not too surprising.

One could consider it a sign of spatial revival.

However, Lin Xuan did not see it that way.

If it truly was spatial revival, why would only one piece of earth appear here?

Could it be...

Lin Xuan's mind vaguely had some guesses.

Though he wasn't sure yet, this good opportunity should not be missed.

Lin Xuan knew very well what had happened in this space just now. Jin Yue True Toad self-destructed its primordial essence, scattering its soul and body.

On the surface, it was so, but could a giant toad really turn into ashes?

Indeed, on the surface, that was correct, but Lin Xuan still harbored some doubts or even dissatisfaction.

That was true spirit!

Even finding a bit of skin, bones, or even a drop of essence blood would be immensely useful. But now, there was nothing at all. Who wouldn't feel depressed if placed in his position?

This was akin to entering a treasure-filled mountain and leaving empty-handed.

Lin Xuan's dissatisfaction was understandable. The appearance of this clue made him extremely excited.

However, the time left for him was limited. Lin Xuan knew this clearly, so he did not waste any more time. With green light enveloping his body, he flew over.

Lifting his hand, that small piece of earth landed in his palm.

Lin Xuan pressed it to his forehead and injected divine sense into it.

Though the specific details were not clear, there was undoubtedly an extremely powerful magical force within it.

Moreover, it faintly contained traces of Jin Yue True Toad's essence.

Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he placed this treasure back in his waist pouch.

Then, he flew to other places.

Although Lin Xuan had thoroughly searched the entire area just now and found no useful clues, the space itself appeared as a chaotic state, making it unique. Just because nothing useful was found earlier did not mean that something might not be found now due to the revival of spatial laws.

This change should have been brought about by the restoration of those laws.

Lin Xuan wasn't entirely clear on what exactly had happened, but this much was certain: any treasure left behind by a true spirit could not be overlooked. Even a tiny useful clue would not be missed.

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan began to search meticulously. The next discovery far exceeded his expectations.

He found dozens of pieces like the one just now.

Lin Xuan was overjoyed and immediately stored them all in his waist pouch for later study.

There was no time to analyze these now; he would decide on their use once back at his cave dwelling.

The entire process, though complex, only took a few minutes. Lin Xuan scanned several times with divine sense to ensure nothing was missed before leaving without lingering further. The extra time spent here had already exceeded his initial estimate, and any more delay could lead to unforeseen events.
