Haiben Island.

The garrison commanders of the ten countries stood in a row on the shore, all with eyes wide in anticipation as they stared at the sea in front of them. The length of the vestige exploration was only seven days, and there were only two days left until the time was up. According to previous experience, the strong parties should be almost coming out at this time.

As a commander of the China side, Gao Hongxin was especially anxious as he was clearly aware of the much deeper significance of this vestige exploration. It was the remains of a more advanced civilization. Even just a few remains of their tech could promote the progress of the entire country.

A great personage once said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

As such, the adage couldn’t be more spot on. The armed forces of a country represented the right to speak in the modern era. Although China had been developing rapidly, it was still not able to snatch the position at the top of the world. Therefore, if the Chinese team were able to reap some significant treasures from this vestige exploration, the military might of the whole country would qualitatively advance by leaps and bounds.

“They’ve come back!”

The commander from France had his expression moved and he shouted with a bit of excitement.

Instantly, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the submarine that was slowly rising from the bottom of the water. As the submarine’s door opened, the first person they saw was the injured Indian team member. At this time, he was carrying a black leather bag and quickly landed on the shore, greeted quickly by the Indian soldiers who surrounded him.

The second one was Kuwako Yamamoto, who carried a black suitcase, and the Japan military also quickly protected her with excitement on their faces.

Afterward, it was Zhu Long’s team of four that came out with a lot of things. Gao Hongxing waved with excitement on his face as a squad of Chinese soldiers quickly surrounded the four people and protected them.

“Tang Xiu?” Gao Hongxing still didn’t forget to ask even though he was overjoyed.

Zhu Long shook his head silently and said, “We separated inside and we never saw him again. I’m afraid… he met some misfortunes.”

Gao Hongxing nodded without a word, and then shouted in a heavy voice, “Let’s go back.”

After the team members of the three countries returned, however, the commanders of the other countries turned more anxious and kept waiting, but then were notified by the submarine crew that no one else returned.

Inside the vestige on the seabed.

Tang Xiu already had full control over the vestige, yet he didn’t stay idle and steadily visited every place, stuffing a lot of things that could be taken into his interspatial ring. He only brought a few rings with him, which were already full after just two days.

Teng Nu had been following him all this time. After two days of being together, she had been truly worshipping Tang Xiu. With all of his various magical means, as well as some of the Immortal arts he imparted to her, she was occasionally full of interest causing her blood to boil with the excitement.

“Could you stay much longer, Master?” Teng Nu asked with a face full of hope as they returned to the main control room at the center of the base.

Tang Xiu smiled in response while watching the holographic footage that showed a light cocoon wrapping Cheng Xuemei inside. It had been getting thinner as the time passed by and there was only a thin layer left. He shook his head and smilingly said, “I still have a lot of things to tend to outside, so I can’t stay here for too long. Also, you’ll need a long time to digest all the things I’ve imparted to you, so stay here and safely cultivate it! I believe it won’t take long for me to come back here. I’ll take you with me to the outside then.”

Teng Nu couldn’t care less about anything else—what she cared about was to get stronger and stronger, so she immediately nodded after hearing Tang Xiu’s words. “Alright. Then I’ll be waiting for you to come back here.”

“Go to the botanical area and bring Cheng Xuemei over,” said Tang Xiu.

“Alright.” Teng Nu agreed and her figure instantly vanished.

Tang Xiu secretly forced a smile inwardly. Teng Nu’s speed was fast to the extreme, so fast that he couldn’t catch her at all. Also, she wasn’t the only one whose speed was very fast, as so were those 35,680 sentient plants that had transformed into human forms. The weakest one among them was even ten times faster than him.

‘Luckily, I already cast a sealing art on them, else they could’ve severely injured me or even killed me should they casually strike at me,’ muttered Tang Xiu to himself inwardly. His hands then began to input commands on the virtual keyboard. He needed to shut all the entrances to the entire vestige, so he even closed the last hidden exit that would close in two days. Once they were all closed, nobody but him could enter.

Whoosh…

Teng Nu caught the light cocoon and reappeared in front of Tang Xiu. Cheng Xuemei was still unconscious inside the light cocoon and was unaware of the situation outside.

A day later, the light cocoon disappeared completely and Cheng Xuemei finally woke up. The moment she opened her eyes, Teng Nu’s hands were pressing on her shoulders.

Tang Xiu observed Cheng Xuemei lying on the floor and asked lightly, “How’s your physical condition?”
