Unfortunately, time was running out, so Zhang Ze had no choice but to take Xiaoxuan and slip into the Profound Identification. Hopefully, those Carefree Sect disciples are all idiots. He had just entered when those Carefree Sect disciples immediately arrived here. The leading disciple fell silent as he looked at the big fish in front of him... He knew about the existence of aquatic Divine Beasts in the waters of Qinghe flowing through the East Continent, but he had never seen this particular Divine Beast before. The big fish was entirely black and brown, its sides had several knife-like structures, with white, tender flesh faintly visible, and something green resembling scallions scattered among them. From a distance, the scent of soy sauce wafted through the air. A braised fish was flopping up and down in the water of the old treasure vault. What the hell is this thing? All the disciples were dumbfounded because this scene was too unbelievable, and no one dared go forward to give that big fish a strike. Li could transform into something devourable, but the prerequisite was remembering what it had eaten before. Ever since Li followed Zhang Ze, it hardly ate raw meat anymore, and the only thing close to a live fish it had eaten was the Big-Eyed Fish Sword Embryo that Zhang Ze had drawn from the system a long time ago. Zhang Ze almost forgot about this, so how could Li possibly remember? Just now, Zhang Ze asked Li to transform into a Water Beast, and all it could think of was the braised fish from yesterday... Thankfully, Zhang Ze was quick-witted. He promptly pointed at Li Yu, instructing him to temporarily possess the weakest disciple in the last row of the crowd. Following Zhang Ze’s instructions, Li Yu loudly declared through the disciple’s mouth. Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁 "That’s an ancient Exotic Beast, a braised fish! I saw it in one of the tasks posted by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, quickly catch it, this thing is very valuable!" As long as there’s someone to take the lead in a ridiculous situation, it immediately starts to make sense. The Carefree Sect disciples tentatively launched an attack on the braised fish, and Li symbolically dodged a few times, spitting out a few barbecue-flavored fireballs to prove it was responsible for the hole in the large gate, then made a big splash and slipped out through the river-connected hole. "Should we keep chasing? The braised fish ran away," a disciple asked. "Forget it, the water’s deep and dangerous, and that... that fish’s abilities aren’t low. You go back and report to Uncle Master, while I lead the junior disciples to inspect here," the leading senior brother said. The crisis caused by the braised fish quickly spread throughout the Carefree Sect, and almost the entire sect came to have a look. But when they found nothing, they had no choice but to disperse. After all, it was just an empty, broken treasure vault, it didn’t matter if the door was broken. Once the Carefree Sect people left, Zhang Ze found the answer he was looking for. With the radar-like exploration of Zhang Ze, Xiaoxuan, and Li Yu who were all related to the Innate Tao Embryo, they discovered the origin of the stone slab from Liu Haiwu. It indeed came from this treasury, having fallen out of a breach in a stone wall and washed away by water flow. In addition, Zhang Ze found that not only did the Carefree Sect Leader Zhu Xiaoyao show signs of reforming, but so did the confidants of the Hundred Demons Sect within the Carefree Sect. Although the treasury now had become no different from ordinary stones. Yet, their change seemed to be linked to this treasury. "Let’s head back first, not sure if the Sect Leader will have any new information on his side." "Look at this, be careful not to damage it. We don’t have many genuine old items left in our Celestial Sect, and this is an ancient book passed down from the time of the Ten Kingdoms Chaos." Celestial Sect Leader Lu Yuzhou showed a magical treasure to Chen Qianhu with great care. It was a circular translucent jade artifact, with a tattered thread-bound book floating at its center, seemingly ready to disintegrate at the slightest touch. "What is this?" Chen Qianhu asked. "The ’Mountain and Sea Hundred Gods List,’ which records the beliefs of the Human and Barbarian Races from the primordial times, and some Wild Gods from the Ten Kingdoms Chaos era, such as the Ancestral Dragon named Xiang currently sleeping in the Beast Taming Sect, which is noted here." Chen Qianhu had never even heard of this thing. It seemed like something kept in reserve by the Celestial Sect, and just as he reached out to take it, Lu Yuzhou withdrew his hand. "Can’t give this to you, what if you break it? Here, take this." Saying that, she took out a new illustrated thread-bound book. "This one’s new, feel free to flip through it." Chen Qianhu felt a bit puzzled, "Then why show me the old one?" "To show off," Lu Yuzhou said emotionlessly. Forget it, no point arguing with the insane. He casually flipped through the book. One page depicted a headless giant, its entire body covered in bluestone. Beside the giant was a line of small text. "[Innate Gods and Demons, Name: Head Return, though perished in the primordial times, their Tao Embryo is indestructible. Their body transformed into rivers and mountains, and those who sleep on their bluestone lean towards benevolence.]" "Is this thing real?" Chen Qianhu asked. "Who knows, it’s probably like the ’Dragon Slaying Technique’ of Dragon Tiger Mountain — if it exists, it’s real." Lu Yuzhou thought for a moment and continued, "There will probably be some events happening soon, so I can’t leave the Celestial Sect. "Here’s what I suggest, since the Qinghe Association is about to start, I’ll send a disciple over in advance. If something happens, you won’t have to come all the way again, just have my disciple contact me directly." Chen Qianhu thought that was a good idea, "Who will you send?" "Lu Ning, my junior disciple, you met him last time," Lu Yuzhou said solemnly. The Sect Leader has not returned. After Zhang Ze returned to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, he felt a bit troubled by today’s events. The Innate Tao Embryo, the Stone Pill, Dongqi, the Hundred Demons Sect’s years of insane plotting, all these seem to converge at the Qinghe Association. But after thinking for a long time, Zhang Ze still had no clue, so he decided not to worry and entered the system space. Intending to continue studying the Heart Method to pass the time. But in places he couldn’t see. The system’s back-end quickly flashed several lines of self-diagnostics information. "Phase self-diagnosis begins" "Tasks issued: 13,525" "Achievements unlocked: 1,450" "Tasks completed: 25" "Achievements completed: 8" "Main storyline: None" "Calm down, core reboot, continue self-diagnosis" "Detection in progress... determining if Heavenly Destiny People... " "Historical trend detection..." "System functioning as normal..."
