Chapter 508: Chapter 359: The Ancient Array of the Ruins!?

"This hairpin... looks familiar..."

The Heaven and Earth Mage took the hairpin, scrutinized it closely, and then shook his head.

"This hairpin contains the flowing Qi of the Five Elements... perhaps it belongs to the Five Elements Holy Land."

"Our Great Xia doesn’t have artifacts like yours; such items are rare..."

"Oh?"

Zhong Heng initially thought that these people might be familiar with this item.

One of the Pseudo Core Masters let out a sound of surprise.

"This hairpin... it seems like I acquired it during an expedition with Brother Zhang..."

"As for Brother Zhang..."

The Pseudo Core Master gave Zhong Heng a deep look.

Everyone present fell into silence again.

Zhong Heng did not explain.

He merely said, "I can allow your Great Xia lineage to develop within Jiuzhou World."

"I also have the authority to release all the Great Xia cultivators captured by the Business Alliance."

"Senior, perhaps you can travel with me to Jiuzhou, to that dazzling world."

"That is where you truly belong."

Zhong Heng’s expression was very sincere.

Having said this, Zhong Heng rose into the air.

The Heaven and Earth Mage showed signs of hesitation, but eventually followed.

The Pseudo Core powerhouses behind him, seeing the Heaven and Earth Mage go up, hesitated for a while, then clenched their teeth and followed.

A streak of Flowing Light came from the horizon like a meteor.

The light faded away.

It was a Golden Core of the Gold Devouring Sect.

The Heaven and Earth Mage felt a threat, his grey beard and hair fluttered, and his eyes began to shine with strong treasure-colored light.

But Zhong Heng blocked the Heaven and Earth Mage’s sight.

"I am Zhong Heng, acting on behalf of the Business Alliance. I ask the senior for some consideration."

The True Master paused for a moment and then moved aside.

He could choose not to respect him, even Yunmiao Master could choose not to respect him; if it were only Zhong Heng, he wouldn’t have to.

But there was a madwoman standing behind Zhong Heng.

The Heaven and Earth Mage and the others felt Zhong Heng’s status within the opposing force.

Zhong Heng led the way; the teleportation array opened.

The Heaven and Earth Mage, Qiu Yi, and a group of Pseudo Core Masters saw a dazzling, vast Cultivation Great World, Jiuzhou!

[You took Qiu Yi and others on a tour around Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.]

[Moreover, you told them that Qu Hong Cultivation Realm is merely a medium-sized realm in Jiuzhou, even large-scale realms are as numerous as cattle, while just this medium-sized world is already ten times the territory of Great Xia’s Secret Realm World.]

[Qiu Yi and others felt their worldview shattered and rebuilt.]

[You purchased systematic cultivation classics, including Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core Path.]

[These cultivation techniques could be family treasures for ordinary cultivators, but for you, Master Zhong, they are resources you can easily obtain.]

[Qiu Yi and others remained silent for a long time; you continued to take them on a journey.]

[For ten months, the entire Qu Hong Cultivation Realm was toured.]

[Upon returning to Great Xia’s Secret Realm World, few Supreme Demons remained, and they had been corralled by the Business Alliance.]

[Qiu Yi and others were willing to follow you. You were a bit surprised, saying you were but a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, not even matching the Pseudo Core powerhouses, yet Qiu Yi said you were different from others.]

[You personally sought to negotiate with the Business Alliance’s leadership.]

[After Yunmiao joined, the Business Alliance agreed to your plan and directly placed the Great Xia cultivators under your command.]

[However, they demanded that you be responsible for them; these people must not do anything harmful to the Business Alliance as you were essentially a guarantor.]

[The Supreme Demons were nearly consumed to extinction but were corralled by the Business Alliance, and many cultivators from Qu Hong Cultivation Realm also left Great Xia.]

[The Business Alliance this time collected admission fees and made a fortune, quickly recouping losses previously incurred in Great Xia, and even multiple spirit stone mines in Great Xia were allocated to the Business Alliance.]

[The Golden Core cultivation in the Supreme Demons was dismantled by a few Golden Core cultivators but unfortunately found to lack Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects or even Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects, yet the giant insect could self-reproduce small insects.]

[A few Golden Core cultivators forcibly joined the company, adding another profitable venture to the Hundred Stars Alliance.]

[The Supreme Demons were renamed Seven-Star Insects because their medicinal effects were similar to Seven-Star Obscure Spirit Grass, causing some cultivators who hoarded the grass for high prices to curse at the doors of the Hundred Stars Alliance.]

[The Seven-Star Insect project will bring vast resources to the alliance, thus fostering a gentle approach towards Great Xia cultivators.]

[Great Xia cultivators regained a survival environment and some sovereignty in their homeland while acquiring eligibility to move to Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.]

[Great Xia cultivators gradually trusted you.]

[You finally learned several of Great Xia’s secret locations from Qiu Yi.]

[Accompanied by Lin Wui and Qiu Yi, you visited these secret places.]

[The first location was actually a small valley next to a Holy Land occupied by the Business Alliance, which they never discovered to be unusual.]

[And the Holy Land was established precisely because of this valley.]

[You stepped into the valley, and Qiu Yi used a few spells; then a Celestial Maiden with a sword appeared as an image.]

The Celestial Maiden was dressed in white, ethereal, exquisite, and pure...

Zhong Heng gazed at the image, his mind suddenly bursting with inspiration, with numerous thoughts flashing through.

Not only that, but Lin Wui was also mesmerized, pulling a longsword from the weapon case behind him and starting to dance with the sword openly.

"This is the Celestial Maiden Image, left by the Nine Heavens Goddess. Only those with high perception can gain some insight from it."
