The earth-shattering tremors finally subsided, and the world was shrouded in dust, forming cloud-like patterns with the black and red mist.
Suddenly, countless rays of light emerged from the center, like crashing waves against the shore, pushing the dust in all directions.
General Wei's low roar echoed from the dissipating dust.
Xu Guang looked at the dispirited General Wei, his left side filled with gruesome wounds, imbued with a gold attribute.
He had an unpleasant expression, glanced at General Wei's wounds, then at Shi Moyun's corpse a hundred meters away.
What on earth is this thing?
This sort of monstrous person who had roamed Zouchuan Dao for over ten years, still being hunted by numerous major sects, had unimaginable means.
A desperate struggle, such a person, their final counterattack before death, was always terrifying.
Xu Guang did not have enough confidence, so after confirming Shi Moyun's demise, he never got close to the person.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough, if he had been close enough, and Shi Moyun unleashed such power, he really would not have been confident of surviving.
General Teng exhausted all of Ah Wei's energy, and Ah Wei was gravely injured, only managing to block the last golden orb, letting him face it directly; he truly would have died.
General Wei let out a whimper, as if feeling pain, it had never been so severely injured, the Jiao Ape Armor completely shattered, at the deepest point, internal organs were almost visible.
Xu Guang carefully protected Ah Wei's wounds with Qi Force, saying with some distress, "Let's go, let's return first, I'll think of a way to help heal you."
Xu Guang scavenged everything from Shi Moyun's body, in fact, most of it was already destroyed, but anything that survived such an attack was a treasure.
A Fourth-Grade Celestial Register, a bottle of elixir, and a small booklet of unknown material, only a corner damaged.
However, just before leaving, Xu Guang suddenly saw something flashing on the ground, was it a golden orb?
Not daring to be careless, he gestured for General Teng to extend a vine to carefully make contact.
After confirming it was harmless, he held it for a closer examination.
The golden pearl had lost its previous might, looked like it was made of gold, and was filled with strange talismans, like rows of small characters.
These small scripts, Xu Guang found them somewhat familiar, like he'd seen them somewhere before.
Xu Guang didn't recognize them, but he could identify this as Shi Moyun's last resort.
Upon contact, a strange sensation surged forth.
This thing... could it absorb his Qi Force?
No time for research, Xu Guang took General Wei back to the previous wooden house.
Although it wasn't very safe here, with General Wei injured, he didn't want to leave for now.
He took out a large quantity of healing pills and fed them to Ah Wei.
This alien species' recovery ability was simply incredible, all the way back, Ah Wei's wounds had already stopped bleeding, and the deepest part no longer showed internal organs, as if they had healed.
General Teng extended some fine vines, like needles and thread, to sew up some serious wounds.
But Ah Wei was still very weak, especially in its injured state, it needed nutritional replenishment.
"You've worked hard, someday when I become the Master of the Dragon Gate, everything in the Dragon Gate will be yours."
Xu Guang skillfully painted a picture.
Ah Wei wiggled its ears, signaling him to leave.
Xu Guang patted its ivory, extending his Divine Thought, searching around the small house for treasures left by Shi Moyun.
Shi Moyun had left treasures here.
Seventy to eighty Sixth-Grade Elixirs with various effects, several Fifth-Grade Healing Pills, and several wooden boxes filled with Daoist Canon, likely stolen inheritances from various sects by Shi Moyun and his subordinates over the years.
Xu Guang admired the Celestial Destiny Sect for this; eliminating all imperial bloodlines seemed like their obsession, almost as if any slightly powerful sect that appeared before Great Zhou's decline eighty years ago had infiltrators.
He really didn't know how the Great Zhou Royal Family had provoked that Xin Nanyan.
But he finally understood why no one claimed the emperorship.
Who knows what that lunatic Xin Nanyan was thinking, whether it was just targeting the Li Family of the Great Zhou, or indiscriminately targeting every emperor that appeared on this land.
Rather than fearing the Celestial Destiny Sect, it was more about fearing that Xin Nanyan.
People did not know their level of cultivation, yet eighty years of disappearance still frightened the world.
Xu Guang suppressed his thoughts, delivered a few healing pills to Ah Wei, then returned to the small house to start examining that golden pearl.
The script on this pearl indeed looked familiar.
Suddenly, he recalled where he had seen these scripts before.
Previously, in the Jiao Ape Nest, he found a passage leading to the Death Buddha Country, and in that passage, there was a bronze fragment over a meter high.
The script on it seemed somewhat similar to that on the golden pearl.
"Ah Wei, where did you put that bronze fragment?"
Xu Guang stuck his head out, asking Ah Wei, who was resting against a cliff outside.
Ah Wei growled twice.
Xu Guang's face darkened.
Ah Wei, having entered the Ghostly Land, faced the issue of eating and excreting, despite eating less recently, its waste was still substantial relative to humans.
To avoid exposure, Xu Guang had it find ways to bury its waste.
It directly handed the task to General Teng, who used the bronze fragment to dig a latrine.
He truly had nothing to say!
Xu Guang, helpless, went to the place where Ah Wei often relieved itself and retrieved the bronze fragment.
Then he took out the golden pearl, carefully comparing the script above, confirming they were indeed from the same source.
