Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 1044 - 321: Favored by Qi Fortune, Divine Artifact Reappears! Dominant Lu Changsheng Faces All the Mighty! (Part 4)
Zhao Shuying already knew many of the characteristics associated with the "mystical artifact."
"Zhang Family Village, hmm?"
"Let's go take a look now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng hesitated no longer and set off immediately.
After all, it had been a long time since he had any news or clues about mystical artifacts.
Now, he finally had a lead.
No matter what, he wouldn't give up and had to go see for himself.
Thus, Lu Changsheng and Zhao Shuying headed directly to Zhang Family Village outside the city.
Soon, the two arrived at the location of Zhang Family Village outside the city.
Lu Changsheng looked around and saw ruins everywhere.
Actually, it was evident that it had been abandoned for an unknown amount of time.
Indeed, this was a deserted village.
"Is this the place?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Yes, this is the place."
"The village looking deserted now is normal; it's usually like this. But at a specific time, it will transform into what Zhang Family Village once was."
Zhao Shuying explained.
"And when exactly is that?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"There's no fixed time for this."
"It could be in three days, or two days. Maybe in the morning, or perhaps in the evening."
"To see the appearance of 'Zhang Family Village,' you'll need some luck."
Zhao Shuying's words made Lu Changsheng frown.
However, he was not one for guessing games.
"Let me see what exactly is hidden here?"
So, Lu Changsheng mobilized the consciousness of the Heavenly Sacred.
He began to meticulously search every inch of the abandoned village site.
How powerful was Lu Changsheng's consciousness?
After all, he was the Heavenly Sacred!
And a top-tier Heavenly Sacred at that.
Even across the entire Boundary Sea, he was a top-tier Extreme Realm!
Yet, despite such vast consciousness combing through the village ruins.
He found nothing.
Absolutely nothing!
No clues of the mystical artifact, nor even a trace of its aura.
Could this be just an ordinary village?
But Zhao Shuying was so certain.
There was no way Zhao Shuying could be wrong about this.
The only conclusion left was this.
There's something wrong here!
A big problem!
The mystical artifact was indeed extraordinary.
The extraordinary abilities of some mystical artifacts left even Lu Changsheng in awe.
If it truly was some special mystical artifact, it must appear at a specific time.
Or, perhaps Lu Changsheng couldn't locate that special mystical artifact, and it had to manifest on its own, which would also be normal.
Lu Changsheng had a simple yet direct and most effective method.
And that was to wait!
To keep waiting at this village site.
To wait until "Zhang Family Village" appeared.
By then, Lu Changsheng might find some clues or even the mystical artifact itself.
"Let's wait then."
"Let's stay here for a few days."
Lu Changsheng then sat cross-legged under a dilapidated house, waiting quietly.
Zhao Shuying had no choice but to accompany Lu Changsheng in waiting.
Time passed day by day.
One day, two days, three days...
Waiting and waiting, three days had passed, yet there was no change in the deserted village.
"Does this mystical artifact have its own consciousness?"
"Does it know we are waiting for it, so it's not appearing?"
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brows, not ruling out this possibility.
After all, mystical artifacts were incredibly bizarre.
They possessed all sorts of abilities.
It was completely normal for a mystical artifact to have consciousness; remember last time in the Sealed City, when the Golden Toad Spits Pearl, the toad had wisdom?
"Mr. Lu, should we…"
Zhao Shuying hesitated.
"Keep waiting!"
Lu Changsheng said calmly.
So, the two of them continued their wait.
The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day…
Perhaps the "mystical artifact" couldn't wait any longer.
Or perhaps Lu Changsheng was exceedingly patient.
On the seventh day, the deserted village finally changed.
"Buzz".
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
He saw the air around them ripple with waves like water.
And instantly, amidst these ripples, the deserted village transformed at an astonishing speed.
The barren village rapidly turned into a "prosperous" settlement.
"It's appeared, it has appeared."
"This is the Zhang Family Village of the past."
Zhao Shuying's voice was filled with excitement and a hint of fear.
Such a change was too eerie.
Lu Changsheng, however, remained very calm.
He stood and wandered around "Zhang Family Village."
Though the village appeared "prosperous," there wasn't a soul in sight.
The entire village was eerily quiet.
Even silent enough to be somewhat spooky.
Lu Changsheng reached out and tapped the pillar inside a house, making a muffled "thud, thud, thud" sound.
It seemed unlike an Illusion Realm.
But was it really real?
Lu Changsheng exerted some force.
"Boom."
The pillar collapsed instantly.
Lu Changsheng "demolished" the whole courtyard, turning it into ruins.
Dust rose everywhere for a moment.
Yet, the village showed no change whatsoever.
"Mr. Lu, what should we do?"
Zhao Shuying asked.
"It's just a mere mystical artifact."
"No need to play games with it; we'll break it head-on."
"Though it might cause quite a commotion…"
Lu Changsheng, carrying Zhao Shuying, flew instantly into the sky.
Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng directly extended his hand.
A gigantic palm appeared in the void.
The palm covered the sky, seemingly infinite.
Then, the palm slammed down heavily.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Dust flew up.
Deafening sounds echoed throughout the village.
Zhao Shuying's eyes widened.
Once again, she witnessed Lu Changsheng exhibit terrifying, earth-shattering means.
With one palm, he turned a village into ruins.
One palm struck, and the village was obliterated!
It was truly shocking.
The village, albeit not small.
It was destroyed by Lu Changsheng with just one palm.
If he could destroy a village with one palm, then he could destroy Tianmao City with the same ease.
Zhao Shuying gained a deeper understanding of the "Divine."
Only, when Lu Changsheng retracted his hand and saw the village below turned to rubble, an abrupt change occurred.
"Buzz."
What did Lu Changsheng see?
The village below, which he had just reduced to ruins.
It was now rapidly restoring at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yes, restoring.
The rubble on the ground quickly disappeared.
In its place stood the prosperous village once more.
Mere moments later, the thriving village reappeared, intact.
Not a trace of prior ruin was visible.
This was indeed strange.
"A village so eerie must have a mystical artifact, right?"
Suddenly, a strange voice reached Lu Changsheng and Zhao Shuying's ears.
"Hmm?"
Lu Changsheng turned his head.
From a distance, a figure walked over from the void, a step traversing a hundred feet.
Extreme Realm!
This was an Extreme Realm powerhouse!
Perhaps it was one of the Extreme Realm powerhouses hiding in Tianmao City.
Sensing the village's oddity, they made their way here.
Or maybe, they had always been observing this peculiar village, but hadn't yet acted, with Lu Changsheng acting first.
But it didn't matter either way.
With an Extreme Realm expert arriving, Lu Changsheng couldn't remain indifferent.
"Zhao Shuying, go into the village and find the mystical artifact."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Zhao Shuying dared not disobey and flew directly into the village below.
She had Qi Fortune. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
If someone were to find the mystical artifact, Zhao Shuying was the most suitable.
No matter how strange this village was, perhaps Zhao Shuying could obtain the mystical artifact through unimaginable means.
As for Lu Changsheng.
He understood well that as long as the mystical artifact was here, it would eventually be found.
The biggest variable was these Extreme Realm powerhouses.
He knew, and even anticipated, that the real challenge wouldn't be this one Extreme Realm powerhouse alone.
Lu Changsheng's gaze scanned the surroundings.
Then he stood in the void, hands behind his back, and coolly said, "Hiding, are you planning to take advantage?"
"Come out, Brother Lu will take care of you all at once!"
"This mystical artifact, Brother Lu claims it!"
Lu Changsheng's voice was not loud, yet it was extremely domineering, echoing endlessly in the void.
