Chapter 145 Ling Tuo's Goal (Happy Qixi, Single Dogs!)

Zhang Yuanqing held the heavy metal disc in his palm and led his teammates through the exhibition hall to the bronze door. He summoned the Ghost Bride Bai Lan and used his Object Manipulation ability to place the metal disc into the groove.

"Ka-cha!"

A mechanism clicked inside the bronze door, and the door popped open slightly, revealing a crack as thick as a thumb.

"The door is open!" Qing Zhu exclaimed joyfully, then sighed with a wry smile, "The killing instance of a Saint is often more difficult than an S-level instance. In the middle of the year, with Fu Qingyang and the Silver Moon Divine General, I didn't dare to participate. In the second half of the year, after Yuan Shi Tian Zun returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, the evil camp also lost several peak Saints. The New Covenant County camp war at the end of the year caused more than half of the world's peak Saints to perish. I came here with a try-my-luck mentality."

"A gamble can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. If you get lucky, great. But I don't expect that now; I just hope to get out alive."

With his combat power, he should have died in the museum. He was able to survive because his teammates were strong. He was just along for the ride.

It was indeed great to have a teammate like Yuan Shi Tian Zun. If it were a killing instance during the extraordinary stage, he might shamelessly ask for a spot.

But there were too few slots on the Overlord list, only three. Even if the two districts merged, there would only be six, so it wouldn't be his turn anyway.

Therefore, Qing Zhu's only wish now was to return alive.

"Buzz!"

"Even if peak Saints die again, it won't be your turn until they're all dead. Your experience points haven't reached 90%, and you don't have many high-quality items. Don't even think about it," Zhang Yuanqing said.

"We wasted too much time on the second floor. Let's go upstairs!" At this moment, the voice of the Clay Mask came from behind.

"Young man, wait a moment!"

Zhang Yuanqing turned around in surprise and said, "Huh? Aren't you supposed to only answer questions? Why are you trying to be relevant when no one is talking to you?"

He didn't like this artifact very much. If it weren't for him, the conditions for clearing the second exhibition hall wouldn't have been so convoluted.

"I don't necessarily answer every question. That was a lie to you," the Clay Mask replied.

That statement was probably the lie! Zhang Yuanqing asked again.

The Clay Mask then gave the correct response: "I suddenly remembered something, something concerning the Three Sovereigns!"

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up. He strode over and proactively asked, "What information did you remember?"

Ignoring the first false answer, Zhang Yuanqing heard the Clay Mask say, "Among the Three Sovereigns, only Nüwa is well-documented. Although in my era, Nüwa had already ascended, legends about her were recorded in various tribes and were definitely not fictitious!"

"But even the Five Emperors could not determine the authenticity of the Celestial Sovereign and the Terrestrial Sovereign. However, an ancient legend, passed down among various tribes, is believed to be true."

After a pause, the Clay Mask changed its noise, using a more solemn and dignified tone to say, "The Celestial Sovereign opened the heavens, giving the world past, present, and future. The Terrestrial Sovereign divided the five elements, and turbid energy condensed into the earth, giving the world mountains and rivers, scales, fur, and feathers."

Zhang Yuanqing carefully pondered this sentence and quickly came to a guess. When the Terrestrial Sovereign divided the five elements and subdued the Wind and Thunder Gods, the five alliance leaders of the Five Elements Alliance seemed to merge. Could the Terrestrial Sovereign be an administrator who merged the five major professions into one?

How powerful would that be? And how terrifying would the Night Wanderer profession be under the sun, moon, and stars?

The end of the Night Wanderer profession is the Celestial Sovereign?

That's not right.

If the five elements can be combined into one profession, wouldn't the five alliance leaders fight internally?

Well, since the five of them can merge, it means they know this secret, so there couldn't have been an accident like the Wind and Thunder Gods.

Time was limited, so he didn't continue to think about it. He interrupted his divergent thoughts and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No."

"Oh."

Zhang Yuanqing turned around and left. The Clay Mask shouted behind him, "Wait, young man! That's a lie!"

"I don't know! I don't want to hear you talk anymore!" Zhang Yuanqing left without hesitation. He had already wasted too much time on the second floor and couldn't stay any longer.

Firstly, the second floor was the last level. The peak Saints who survived were gathered together, Yin Ji, Jiang Ju, and Xiahou Aotian were all fighting there. A great battle was imminent, and it had already begun. If he got there sooner, his teammates' safety would be guaranteed.

Secondly, this instance had artifacts. Subduing artifacts could enhance his strength. The more he procrastinated, the stronger the enemies would become.

At this time, Huang Taiji and Qing Zhu had already pushed open the heavy bronze door. An endless staircase appeared behind the door, and the five of them were waiting for him.

After reuniting with his teammates, a group of six passed through the bronze door and went up the stairs, moving further and further away until they disappeared.

The bronze door slowly closed, and the second-floor exhibition hall returned to silence. Wisps of black smoke floated out of the Clay Mask and condensed above the display case into a illusory old man wearing animal skins.

The illusory old man bowed down and let out a cry that only Night Wanderers could hear: "Thank you, Lord of the Taiyin, for your grace!"

In the world of The Way of the Extraordinary, the Five Emperors' dharma bodies sat in the four directions, stabilizing the order of the world, freezing the chaotic instance stars, and preventing the fate of being swallowed by the Taiyin.

The massive black moon produced a huge suction force but was still unable to affect the instance.

Inside the black moon, which seemed to devour even light, a pair of huge eyes opened, and then Ling Tu's laughter came:

"Looking at the Night Wanderers in the world, few can become Lords of the Sun. If the Devil Lord doesn't die, there will be three. After the Devil Lord dies, there will be our father and son!"

"Why would I cut off the path of those who come after me! Father, you can calculate everything in the world, but you will never understand my heart."

Starlight rose and fell, but the Master of the Taiyi Gate did not respond. Instead, the Crimson Emperor in the south roared, "Stop talking nonsense, Ling Tu. If you want to fight us to a standstill, then so be it. I'll spend my life with you, or we can meet in reality. You son of a b*tch!"

Ling Tu snorted coldly: "Vulgar people are not worthy of talking to me."

He laughed again, "Father, do you know which instance the Xiaoyao organization entered back then? What secrets did they discover?"

The Master of the Taiyi Gate's ethereal and grand voice sounded, "You once told me that you saw the ultimate secret of The Way of the Extraordinary."

Ling Tu's voice came from the Taiyin, "We entered a small instance. There were no tasks, no dangers, but it contained a piece of equipment, one of the cores that maintains the operation of The Way of the Extraordinary."

"I was too young at the time. After seeing the tip of the iceberg, I thought I knew everything. But that thing has influenced me for half my life. It is the reason I am determined to take the path of the Taiyin."

The Five Emperors' dharma bodies turned their heads to look. That was the power of the Taiyin that was gushing out.

The source was a distant and indistinct instance space. The power of the Void profession had opened a passage on the outer layer of the instance, and the power of the Taiyin was gushing out of the space passage.

Ling Tu's voice suddenly became excited: "Found it, found it."

A figure wearing a black robe and mask came out of the instance and looked towards the giant celestial body Taiyin from afar. He nodded slightly and then teleported away, exiting the world of The Way of the Extraordinary.

After the black-robed man left, the Taiyin suddenly disappeared, concealing its power and aura.

The Five Alliance Leaders realized that something was wrong, but none of them could control or stop the Taiyin, who controlled secrets. They could only watch helplessly.

The next moment, looking at the edge of the galaxy where it disappeared into the distance, the giant celestial body, the black moon, appeared and instantly swallowed the "instance star."

The White Tiger Divine General squatted at his feet, his voice majestic: "What exactly is it?"

Ling Tu's laughter became even more rampant: "Open your attribute panels and you'll know!"

The Five Alliance Leaders immediately opened their attribute panels. The next second, the Yan Emperor's voice roared, "The moral value is gone!"
