My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 137 - 7: I Have Arrived at This City, and Will Not Rest Until All Are Slain

Chapter 137: Chapter 7: I Have Arrived at This City, and Will Not Rest Until All Are Slain

The music of the zither gradually grew serene. The endless sky cleared once more, becoming bright and vast.

The youth was dressed in a long robe. Below him was a majestic crater, and before him, the Innate Thunder Light slowly dissipated in the air. Yet he showed no signs of agitation. As the last note from his zither faded, he lowered his gaze, as still as a statue.

「Gouxian Town.」

"Words Become Law?" The fat old man’s expression grew grave. He asked, uncertain and shocked, "Was that just now... Innate Thunder??"

Nearby, Li Nezha, a candied hawthorn skewer dangling from his lips, sat up straight on the large green rock, a look of horror on his face.

"It was only a sliver, but that was definitely Innate Creation Thunder! How is that possible..."

They all found it utterly inconceivable. Innate Thunder—as its name implied, was thunder from before the pioneering of heaven and earth!

Even though it was just a wisp of light, it was still unbelievable. Forget about this current era of decline; even in the golden age of Ancient Times, Innate things were exceedingly rare and precious!

At this moment, the most composed of them, Yang Erlang, and the white-bearded Li Changgeng exchanged a glance before speaking their minds.

"It didn’t seem like Words Become Law. There wasn’t a strong vibration of the world’s Dao Rhyme, but..."

Yang Erlang, too, was baffled.

Li Changgeng then said:

"Indeed. Although I am currently constrained by the world’s limitations, my body as frail as a mortal’s, I can still see that the youth remains at the stage of Climbing the Divine Ladder. It certainly couldn’t be Words Become Law. But as for what kind of Divine Technique it is, I do not know. And what’s more..."

As he spoke, his expression turned solemn.

"Yang Erlang, did the dim, shadowy aura around that young man just now look familiar to you?"

Yang Erlang paced back and forth. After a long moment, he looked up and said:

"It did look somewhat familiar. I once saw it on my Grand Master. Although this youth is far from his level... yes, he definitely has a sliver of the same shadowy Form that surrounds my Grand Master!"

As his words fell, the fat old man and the others were even more dumbfounded, all feeling somewhat lost.

This youth, who was also named Lu Xuan and bore a striking resemblance to the Supreme Emperor Profound Yellow—what were his origins?

’He can’t possibly be that murderous brute... So who could he be?’

’Is he really just a similar flower?’

......

「High in the Celestial Vault, above the clouds.」

Mukai Rindo and Xu Qingqiu were completely speechless. They were both curled up, not daring to move an inch, their minds blank.

’That was, that was Ishida...’

’A High-ranking Celestial Human!’

’And what happened?’

’The youth before them had simply raised an eyebrow while playing his zither and uttered a single, casual sentence...’

’And then, just like that, a High-ranking Celestial Human died??’

Gazing at Lu Xuan’s somewhat youthful face, a profound sense of disconnect and unreality washed over them. They had already tried their best to overestimate this mysterious youth, but the result...

They were numb.

At this moment,

Lu Xuan made no move. He didn’t even glance at the satellite hovering in low-earth orbit outside the atmosphere. He simply kept his head lowered, silently stroking his zither.

Amidst the melodious zither music, his pale face gradually regained its color, bit by bit.

’It really works.’

Lu Xuan had long had a theory. Since his Mediation of Creation could create things from nothing, and even an ordinary grain of rice produced by it became extraordinarily magical,

’...then could it also be used to create things like fire and thunder, or even to manifest sword gleams and Sword Qi?’

’It now seems the first two are definitely possible. Their power even exceeds my imagination. A mere sliver of thunder light was enough to completely annihilate a High-ranking Celestial Human.’

’Although, a large part of it was because that High-ranking Celestial Human named Ishida had his spirit shaken by me, causing his reaction to be a split-second too slow to dodge...’

’But it still shows how terrifying the thunder light is.’

’The only problem is the consumption is a bit too high.’

Lu Xuan kept his head lowered, not allowing the satellite to observe his pale face, as he simultaneously restored his spirit and vitality and began to stockpile Bodhi Fruit Skin once more.

The twenty or thirty half-wisps of Bodhi Fruit Skin he had just stockpiled were completely used up. The cost of creating that sliver of thunder light was equivalent to creating Bodhi Fruit Skin sixteen or seventeen times.

’Still, it can certainly serve as a trump card. I just don’t know how effective it would be against an Earth Immortal... I imagine it should still have some effect. After all, it is Innate Thunder. The biggest problem is still how to land a hit.’

’However...’

A faint smile traced itself across his lips.

’My actions just now should have given that Earth Immortal director from Sakata Heavy Industries quite a scare, right?’

......

The Hovercar sped onward, having now completely left the borders of Wutong City, and was still accelerating.

Only after Wutong City was completely out of sight did the Hovercar finally slow to a stop.

"We’ve reached Central Plains Province. Wh-where to now?"

The guide turned his head, his voice trembling. He, along with Zhong Muhua and the others in the car, looked toward the girl who was quietly gazing at the scenery outside the window.

The girl turned back, lifted her eyelids slightly, and said calmly:

"Hmm... Continue West. Stay on this course."

The middle-aged guide didn’t dare ask any more questions. He nodded obediently, tapped the control panel a few times, and the Hovercar sped off once again.

This vehicle was the latest model. With its engine pushed to maximum power, it had long since broken the sound barrier.

Traveling at extreme speed, it wasn’t long before they arrived at a large valley.

To the astonishment of everyone in the car, this unremarkable valley housed a wide array of extremely modern facilities, ranging from civilian to military—it had everything.

Several Celestial Humans, wreathed in brilliant, dazzling light, shot up and intercepted the Hovercar, their gazes menacing.

"Th-th-this..." Zhong Muhua’s heart leaped into his throat. The middle-aged guide was in no better shape. After glancing at the logos on the facilities, he cried out in terror:

"We’re done for! It looks like... it looks like a secret base for Longque Technology?!"
