Chapter 890 - Peace Token! (1/2)
At that thought, Wang Baole began to run through the conversation he had with Xie Haiyang carefully. Something flickered in his eyes after a long moment. He remembered something Xie Haiyang had said.
Xie Haiyang said that the Xie family can’t abuse its power without a legitimate reason… Wang Baole had thought that Xie Haiyang had been making excuses then, but now, after some analysis, he realized that there might be some truth to his guesses.
Is he trying to sabotage the right-hand elder? Or me? Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and considered the matter. He suddenly laughed, then sat down, shut his eyes, and began to meditate. Time passed steadily, but he didn’t contact Xie Haiyang to check on the progress of breaking the seal.
Xie Haiyang didn’t contact him again either. The two of them seemed to have reached a silent agreement and forgotten all about this matter. Ten days went by. On the eleventh day, the man-made sun hovering high in the sky suddenly flared up momentarily with unprecedented brightness. The moment of abnormality had been fleeting, and everything resumed normalcy immediately. Nevertheless, Wang Baole had opened his eyes and looked up to stare into the sun.
At that exact moment, inside the man-made Eternal Star, the right-hand elder of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, who had been sitting inside the Spirit Pool and healing himself, opened his eyes too. A smile appeared on his face. He rose to his feet slowly, his Planet realm cultivation coursing through his body before erupting suddenly. The injuries on his person vanished. In fact, he seemed to be slightly more powerful than before.
The right-hand elder was encouraged by the thought. At the same time, he felt confident about his chances of killing Wang Baole. Even though he hadn’t had any progress when it came to the search for Wang Baole, he was aware of the caliber of cultivators from the Earth Spirit civilization. He would have been surprised if they managed to find Wang Baole.
“Long Nanzi, your time is up!” the right-hand elder said proudly to himself. He formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed at an empty spot next to him. The man-made Eternal Star trembled faintly, and a star map materialized in front of the right-hand elder in the next moment.
The star map was a map of the entire Earth Spirit civilization and all its planets. As soon as it appeared before the right-hand elder, his Divine Will surged out and entered the star map. Augmented and amplified by the star map, his Divine Sense rushed out of the man-made Eternal Star and headed for the Earth Spirit civilization. It spread across the entire civilization and enveloped it entirely.
The right-hand elder’s Divine Will blanketed the entire civilization within the blink of an eye. It began searching across every planet and every life in the civilization. It seemed to be able to see through every meteoroid and speck of dust in the cosmos. However… as time passed steadily, the look on the right-hand elder’s face gradually turned from one of confidence to one of anger and solemnity. He began to frown.
His Divine Will had blanketed the entire Earth Spirit civilization and scanned the civilization five times, but he hadn’t been able to locate Wang Baole!
He was confident that the seal hadn’t been broken. This meant that Long Nanzi couldn’t have left. He was still trapped somewhere within the Earth Spirit civilization. The fact that he hadn’t yet found him meant only one thing—Long Nanzi… had the means to conceal himself almost flawlessly from his enemy!
He was right. Wang Baole could alter the aura of his essence body. Unless one was at the Eternal Star realm, it would be very difficult to find Wang Baole while he was hidden.
In fact, the right-hand elder’s Divine Will had swept past the mountain peak that Wang Baole was on repeatedly. Wang Baole hadn’t hidden himself deliberately and was simply sitting there and looking at the sun with a dispassionate look in his eyes.
But Wang Baole knew very well that no matter how powerful his essence body was, he was still at a great disadvantage. After all, he wasn’t of the Earth Spirit civilization. There was nothing in his life signs that tied him to the civilization. Things wouldn’t have been so bad if the Earth Spirit civilization were an ordinary civilization. If that were the case, Wang Baole was confident that he would have been able to hide himself perfectly.
But he was within a civilization… with a man-made Eternal Star. The lives of the people there and their cultivation were controlled by the Eternal Star. That was why it was only a matter of time before the right-hand elder found him.
Xie Haiyang’s attempted sabotage… should I trust him this time? Wang Baole retracted his gaze and ignored the right-hand elder’s Divine Will. He recalled the deal that he had struck with Xie Haiyang.
While Wang Baole was deep in contemplation, the right-hand elder was looking increasingly upset. After some time, he snorted, took a deep breath, and raised both his hands to form a series of hand seals. Without batting an eye, he spat out a mouthful of his essence and fused it with the star map, activating the full power of the man-made Eternal Star for a more thorough scan!
He knew that Long Nanzi must possess some unique means that was preventing his discovery. But that didn’t matter. He might not be able to find Long Nanzi, but he could search and locate every other entity in the Earth Spirit civilization, regardless of whether they were alive or lifeless objects like rocks and rivers.
To a certain extent, the Eternal Star that the Violet Gold civilization had created resembled an artifact spirit that possessed both intelligence and life. It was like one of the Federation’s supercomputers. Every existence in the Earth Spirit civilization was recorded in the Eternal Star’s memory upon its appearance. The Eternal Star would map its relationship to other existences and create an intangible and invisible record of the entity.
