Chapter 1162: Chapter 543: Oranges, the Awakened Old Ascender, and Cicada Song_3

...

Central Continent border.

At this time, Central Continent is no longer a wasteland like it was two years ago. The cracked earth has turned into fertile soil, lava streams have changed back into creeks, and the sky has become blue again.

While planting the Little Holy Tree, Central Continent was incidentally restored to life.

If you ignore those squash with human faces and the peppers that suck toes, you could say this place is like a fairyland.

Fifth Gangqiang and Chu Yang, the two brothers, are still working in their profession, though they’ve grown quite a lot over the year.

Due to that bottle of Spirit Water and subsequent adventures during missions, both of them made leaps in their cultivation, and Fifth Gangqiang’s coarse big face became smooth and shiny thanks to the water’s nourishment.

Chu Yang occasionally teased, saying, "Senior Brother, you should change your name to Fifth Silky Smooth."

"Shut up, ruggedness fully displays a man’s prowess. The sisters of Langsha folk are into this."

After their daily customary retort, Fifth Gangqiang rode his flying sword underground, intending to first explore a path for the Little Holy Tree’s roots.

But he hadn’t dug far when he noticed something amiss.

"Wait a moment, there seems to be something."

A purple barrier suddenly appeared in the middle of the earth vein, blocking the planned excavation route.

The complex array patterns on the purple barrier flickered intermittently, seeming impenetrable.

The experienced two brothers did not act rashly.

After taking several photos, they retreated directly from underground, not disturbing anything or anyone behind the barrier.

Then Fifth Gangqiang used a little walnut to transmit the array rune he had just photographed back.

Soon, a result was in the database at Tongtong’s House.

After comparison, these array patterns matched none reported lost by any of the Six Sects or smaller sects.

It seems it’s likely a wild loose cultivator; based on a preliminary appraisal of the array rune, the cultivation level should be around the Nascent Soul stage.

The operator at Tongtong’s House suggested that the two should best stay where they are and refrain from taking rash action; the special action group would arrive soon.

"Do you think Zhang Ze will be the one coming back this time?" Chu Yang suddenly asked.

Fifth Gangqiang, "I don’t think that’s possible, he happened to pass by before. I’ve heard a rumor that your Senior Brother Zhang has been staying in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion lately and hasn’t gone out."

Chu Yang, "I see, then who do you think will come this time?"

Fifth Gangqiang, "I hope it’s a beautiful senior sister, the kind who can step all over me.

"She’d look at me with a gaze like looking at trash.

"And then say, ’Can’t even handle such a small task? Useless!’ and disdainfully throw a handkerchief at my face."

Chu Yang, "..."

He looked disdainfully at his senior brother, thinking this guy had soaked his feet too much, waterlogging his brain.

With a cold laugh, Chu Yang no longer engaged with his senior brother; he looked toward the horizon, waiting for the arrival of the special action group.

Before long, something appeared before them that could indeed step all over them.

Looking at that thing, both Chu Yang and Fifth Gangqiang opened their mouths wide.

Fifth Gangqiang, "This... isn’t this the gate of Beixi City? How did it stand up?"

He looked at the enormous Transformer-like robot in front of him, and at the ’Beixi City West Gate’ words on its chest and said in amazement.

Chu Yang had heard that last month Beixi City had been renovated, saying they were going to remodel it in the style of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

He had thought it was just adding some city protection arrays; he hadn’t expected it to be this wild.

The standing Beixi City West Gate was surrounded by divine light, its hands plunged into the ground, followed by the sound of thunder.

Beneath the earth, the wild cultivator in seclusion, along with the surrounding land and set-up array, had all been unearthed.

Neat and tidy, a cube-like shape.

Then, the cube began to shrink, and when it became only three by three in size, it was directly tossed into the giant robot’s chest cavity door.

Inside the cavity, lights flashed, and the cube was transmitted to another place in the blink of an eye.

...

Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

A space that had been opened up.

Looking at the purple cube that suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhang Ze yawned and began another day’s work.
