Chapter 852: Star-Seeking Beast Complete Form |
"Thousand Mechanisms Grand Formation is the lifelong effort of the first sect master. His dying wish was to merge with the formation after his death, becoming its final component."
"Unfortunately, over the years, none of the sect masters have been able to find the first master's remains. Like leaves unable to return to their roots, this has become a regret of our sect."
Daoist Sparrow looked at Xu Hei solemnly and said, "Xu Hei, your divine abilities are vast. In terms of strength, you are among the top throughout the generations of ancestors. If even you can't do it, then this matter must be abandoned."
Daoist Sparrow proposed this plan with the mindset of grasping at the last straw.
He knew very well that Gongshu Zi had been missing for 350,000 years, and his body was long lost to the void. Even if it was in a space rift, whether it was still among the Seven Stars was unknown.
The vast universe is boundless, and after 350,000 years of changes, the world has transformed, and the stars have shifted.
The hope of finding the first sect master is truly slim, like finding a needle in a haystack!
Xu Hei pondered for a long time and said, "I can try, but the chances are slim."
"What did you say?" Daoist Sparrow suddenly stood up.
It was the first time they had seen Daoist Sparrow, the sect master, show such an expression.
"Slim chances mean there is a chance!" Daoist Sparrow's voice was slightly excited.
Xu Hei nodded, looked at Night Owl, and said, "Brother Night, come with me."
Xu Hei's figure flashed and he appeared outside the Divine Puppet Sect, then flew towards the sky.
Night Owl followed closely, like a shadow, following Xu Hei into the sky, breaking through the clouds of Divine Continent Star, and entering the void outside the planet.
The other cultivators, seeing this, sensibly did not follow.
This matter might involve certain secrets that Xu Hei did not want to expose to others, and everyone was wise enough to remain in the sect's main hall.
Before long, only Night Owl and Xu Hei were left in the void.
After surveying the surroundings, Xu Hei took out a pair of wings. These wings emitted a dark light and appeared semi-transparent, a new magical treasure that had mutated after the Night Demon Wings fused with a cloak.
This treasure had no name, and even Xu Hei could not perfectly control it, but it was inseparably linked to the Star-Seeking Beast.
"This is..." Night Owl's pupils shrank, "Is this what the Night Demon Wings mutated into?"
"That's right!"
Xu Hei nodded and took out a crow, placing it in his palm.
At this, Night Owl's eyes almost popped out, and he exclaimed, "Star-Seeking Beast?!"
The moment Night Owl saw this item, he waved his hand, and in an instant, a pitch-black, deep world formed, isolating all perception from the outside.
Outside was white, inside was black!
This was Night Owl's divine ability, the Yin-Yang Boundary!
The space created by this move isolated Yin and Yang, making it impossible for outsiders to probe the internal situation.
"What are you doing..."
Xu Hei was puzzled as to why Night Owl was so excited and even used the divine ability that burned his primordial spirit.
"Xu Hei, these two items must not be taken out casually. If there are any alien races nearby, they will immediately detect their presence, bringing disaster upon you!" Night Owl said seriously.
"Alien races? You mean... the Shadow Clan!" Xu Hei said.
Night Owl was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "So... it's the Shadow Clan."
Xu Hei looked at Night Owl without speaking.
Night Owl's form had always been a humanoid shadow, with only his eyes and facial features barely visible. Initially, Xu Hei thought it was a special cultivation technique, but now he understood that Night Owl was indeed of the Shadow Clan.
However, Xu Hei had never seen a true Shadow Clan member. Night Owl possessed many human traits, making it impossible to determine what kind he truly was.
The two exchanged a glance; Xu Hei did not ask, and Night Owl did not answer. They tacitly avoided mentioning the matter.
Night Owl grabbed the Star-Seeking Beast and said, "With this, there is indeed a chance to find Gongshu Zi, but only I can unleash its full power, not you."
"I understand." Xu Hei nodded.
The Shadow Clan had a strict control over their race's magical treasures, which Xu Hei had long noticed.
"Leave it to me."
Night Owl, holding the Star-Seeking Beast, approached the edge of the Yin-Yang Boundary. His arm seemed to melt like ink, merging into the Star-Seeking Beast.
The eyes of the Star-Seeking Beast instantly turned into pitch-black vortices, suddenly soaring out like a beam of light, flying out of the Yin-Yang Boundary, heading towards the distant Seven Stars.
"So fast!"
Xu Hei was dumbfounded.
It was the first time he had seen the Star-Seeking Beast move at such speed. Previously on the Dark Star, it was no different from a flying bird, but now it could traverse tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
"The Star-Seeking Beast, as the name suggests, is meant to explore stars. Such speed is normal." Night Owl said.
The Star-Seeking Beast moved like a phantom, traversing every void around the Seven Stars, sensing every inch of space.
Even if it was like finding a needle in a haystack, with such a detection instrument, there was still hope.
Time passed by the second.
Suddenly, Night Owl's eyes widened, "There!"
He pointed to a location, which was the position of Moon Star.
"Found it?" Xu Hei was surprised.
"I never thought it would be hidden on Moon Star, so close at hand!" Night Owl raised his hand, recalled the Star-Seeking Beast, and handed it to Xu Hei.
"Notify the sect master immediately, head to Moon Star!"
Night Owl lifted the Yin-Yang Boundary, his figure shot out, rushing towards Moon Star.
Xu Hei stored the Star-Seeking Beast and the transparent wings into the Demon God Cauldron, isolating all auras, then sent a message to Daoist Sparrow before flying towards Moon Star.
…………
Divine Continent Star, East Sea region.
Han Te stood on the seabed, touched his forehead, and yelled into the distance, "Hurry up! If you delay the Sea God, beware of the divine punishment from the Sea God, which will turn you all into dust!"
"Yes!"
Everyone shivered in fear, quickly picking up bricks and stacking them in front, forming an ancient and solemn structure.
At this moment, the structure in front was gradually forming the outline of a pyramid, entirely pitch-black, mixed with a thick oily aura.
Upon closer inspection, it was the Sea God Altar from back then!
These bricklayers were remnants of the Sea God Sect, and after hundreds of years, there were still survivors among them.
However, they were far from the Sea God Sect of the past, with the strongest only at the mid-stage Elemental Infant, nowhere near the four great demon lord protectors of the past.
"The Sea God indeed still has remnants here, unwilling to give up easily." Han Te thought to himself.
He was merely entrusted by Xu Hei to investigate the remnants of the Sea God Sect. At the same time, he disguised himself as an envoy sent by the Sea God, issuing orders to them, intending to rebuild the Sea God Altar and lure the Sea God out.
Of course, Xu Hei had promised enough benefits for Han Te to do this.
