I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 686 - 282: Plotting! (Request for subscription)

The power of that palm was astonishing. Not only did it cause a slight ripple in the colossal golden light phantom of the "General," but it also seemed to perturb the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" on one side, upon which two lines of ancient script emerged.

"The universe is boundless, Yin and Yang are inverted!"

However, even such a palm still posed no threat in the eyes of the "General" at this moment.

He placed Chen Yuan and Gu Ying onto the Lotus Platform beside him without concern and smiled as he turned to Fu Chen, who had just returned to Taizhou Mountain, saying:

"The Ancient Buddha returns to position, why not announce it to the world today?"

Fu Chen lowered his eyes, his gaze falling upon Taizhou Mountain, deep in his eyes reflecting realms upon realms, and couldn’t help but lament:

"A flower, a world; a leaf, a Bodhi."

He completely ignored the giant palm above, folding his hands in prayer, eyes cast downwards, and said:

"Amitabha, the Spirit Mountain has yet to manifest, why must the ’General’ be so ostentatious?"

The "General" cast an indifferent glance at him, restrained his smile, and with a flick of his fingers, the Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform beneath him shone with Buddha Light.

In an instant, the entire sky was enveloped in golden radiance, even the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" became slightly illusory.

Yet, just when all the people watching at the foot of Taizhou Mountain, captivated by this Divine Will, closed their eyes, awaiting the collision of the two mysterious great powers, they found no commotion arose.

Soon, they slowly opened their eyes, suddenly taken aback.

Under the starry sky, the "Heaven and Earth Bridge," stretching endlessly into the void, remained unchanged, with the golden phantom vanished, along with the huge descending hand.

As if everything before had never happened.

At the foot of Taizhou Mountain, within the broad expanse of plains surrounded by countless towering giant trees, three large cities were scattered.

The people in the city looked at each other in dismay, but all sighed with relief.

"Wh-what’s happening? Is it over just like that?"

"I thought I’d witness the battle of the legendary powerful figures, never thought it would end just like that."

"Watch? If they truly fought, even if we weren’t obliterated by Divine Will, we’d likely be heavily injured!"

Zhan Hongxiu observed for another moment, ensuring there were no traces left, and expressed slight regret:

"What a pity... unable to witness the battle of the two great powers."

Lv Cheng shook his head and said, "Nothing to pity, our current cultivation is insufficient, far from able to discern the traces of their actions."

"What do you know!" Zhan Hongxiu pressed her hand on the sword hilt, snorted and said:

"Even a glance at the skills of masters can inspire and clarify one’s path, even if there’s no insight."

"Should there be an opportunity, we too can become great powers like them!"

"..."

Lv Cheng opened his mouth, intending to say that currently they couldn’t even grasp the Sword Dao clearly, and thinking about these things was too premature.

But seeing Zhan Hongxiu’s hand, he chose to remain silent obediently.

Ning Xue, pensively watching them, spoke in a gentle tone:

"They should be the ’Mountain Dwellers’ the ancestors spoke of, seemingly the same race as us humans, yet they refrain from intervening in our conflicts with the Demon Court."

"Hmph! We come from the Tianyuan Continent, in their words, we are all ’uncivilized barbarians’." Zhan Hongxiu snorted discontentedly:

"If given a chance, I’ll definitely let them witness our ’barbarian’ Sword Dao!"

Jiang Yunni stood silently on the side, not participating in their exchange, silently maintaining the array to probe the surroundings, preventing any demon invasion.

It wasn’t that she was uninterested in the mysterious great powers that had appeared in the sky, but she agreed with what Lv Cheng said— with their current cultivation, even knowing the identity and powers of the other side wouldn’t change the current situation.

The pillar-level Great Demon Kings of the Demon Court still threaten us humans from the Tianyuan Continent.

"Senior Sister, it’s too soon to talk about this, let’s first deliver the Thousand-Year Iris Immortal Grass to the ’station’ as planned."

"Senior Brother Lv is right, Senior Sister, Uncle Zhong is still waiting for the Immortal Herb to aid the frontlines." Ning Xue echoed.

Zhan Hongxiu nodded, gesturing with her hand, and swiftly headed into the depths of the dense forest.

Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni followed suit, with Lv Cheng staying alert of the surroundings and their rear, prepared to act swiftly should danger arise.

Half a day passed.

Zhan Hongxiu, Ning Xue, and their group successfully arrived at the ’station’.

"Uncle Zhong, mission accomplished!"

After delivering the iris from the Sumeru Bag into the hands of a middle-aged swordsman in green, Zhan Hongxiu let out a long breath.

"You’ve worked hard, take a rest at the station first." Uncle Zhong carefully took it and invited them into the station.

The so-called ’station’ was in reality a cave hidden under a cliff, with trees camouflaging it and a big formation set up by an Array Master.

The space inside the cave wasn’t large, at most the size of the Martial Arts Arena on Sword Edge Mountain, but it was divided into five stone rooms.

One room was a makeshift guest room for resting, so sparse it didn’t even have beds, only ten worn-out meditation cushions.

Two rooms were used for storage and information/task reception, while the deepest two stone chambers were for healing and seclusion.

Zhan Hongxiu led Ning Xue and others to the guest room, where two weary-looking individuals were sitting cross-legged to rest. Seeing them, they nodded slightly.

"Zhan Hongxiu of the Grand Void Sect?"

"Senior Xu Chaoguang, meeting again." Zhan Hongxiu greeted and motioned Ning Xue and others to sit to the side, smiling as she asked:

"Have either of you noticed the commotion outside earlier?"

"What commotion?" Xu Chaoguang asked in confusion, exchanging a glance with the other person.
