Chapter 1346 A Bad Beginning

The series of treasures dazzled Loshanwu.

“The crystal stones here are simply way more than those in our Lo Family’s treasury house!”

“Those are supreme-grade crystal stones!”

An even larger formation was about to take shape.

“Is this the Heaven-earth Formation?”

“He can even manipulate the Heaven-earth Formation at will.”

Loshanwu’s worldview had been overturned.

The Heaven-earth Formation required a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as a certain time to set up.

As for Zhang Hanyang, he moved his palm a few times and the embryonic form of the Heaven-earth Formation appeared.

All the auras indicated the power of the Heaven-earth Formation.

All sorts of formation eyes and treasures gathered together, forming a hurricane that rushed in all directions.

Gradually, the hurricane turned into a whirlpool, but its center seemed to be lacking something.

Swoosh!

At this moment, the Barrier-breaking Stone appeared in Zhang Han’s palm, and he gently handed it forward.

The Barrier-breaking Stone slowly floated toward the center of the whirlpool.

It lit up.

It was as though the entire place had lit up.

The Barrier-breaking Stone emitted blinding light like the sun in the sky or the jewel of the universe.

“Go!”

Under the control of Zhang Han’s mind, the fully activated Barrier-breaking Stone showed its power.

A wisp of flowing light whistled forward like a sharp sword.

Rumble!

The light landed on the outermost Bounded Domain.

A huge muffled sound came out. It was as if the whole place was shaking.

However, the outer layer of the Bounded Domain was extremely firm. It seemed that it could not be broken through at all.

Therefore, Zhang Han gradually increased his strength.

The beam of light as thick as an arm instantly became as thick as a bucket. Its diameter grew from a few centimeters to half a meter, one meter, two meters, and gradually ten meters.

There came a sizzling sound.

The collision between the beam of light and the Bounded Domain was like a war.

When the diameter of the light column reached 20 meters…

Clatter!

The Bounded Domain trembled violently.

It was like the ripples on the surface of the water, which grew more and more intense.

In the end, with a boh, a gap appeared in the first layer of the Bounded Domain.

The Barrier-breaking Stone’s power stabilized the gap and made it a temporary passage.

“He made it!” Loshanwu cried out in surprise.

He felt as if he had won the battle, and it had not been easy.

“He cleared the first hurdle,” Yue Wuwei said.

But when he glanced at Zhang Han, he found that Zhang Han did not look happy. Instead, he frowned slightly.

Clatter!

Yue Wuwei’s heart seemed to have skipped a beat.

“Shit. It seems that the seventh-tier Barrier-breaking Stone is not enough to break through three Bounded Domains.”

After being in contact with Zhang Han for such a long time, Yue Wuwei knew him well.

Seeing his expression, Yue Wuwei felt that things were not so simple.

“Never would I have expected the Bounded Domains to be this robust.”

Zhang Han was also a little stunned. “In the Land of Extreme Thunder, the Bounded Domains have been contaminated with the source of lightning for countless years. The seventh-tier Barrier-breaking Stone is draining too fast. This is great trouble.

“However, as things developed to this point, I can only resign myself to fate.

“If I’m lucky enough, I can still possibly succeed.

“The premise is that the third layer of the Bounded Domains is lower than I have imagined.”

Clatter!

The beam of light suddenly grew a hundred meters in diameter.

Like a hot knife through butter, the light broke through the Bounded Domain that was like a stairway in the air.

One flight of steps after another appeared.

Then, the light column continued to rush to the third layer of the Bounded Domains.

“A full-powered strike!”

“Whether I succeed or fail will all depend on this.”

Zhang Han’s eyes suddenly lit up. His momentum had reached its peak, and his majestic energy turned into a beam of light with a diameter of a thousand meters. With suffocating power, it rushed to the third layer of the Bounded Domains.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A loud crash was heard.

It was so loud that even Loshanwu felt his ears ringing.

The lava in the bottomless abyss below seemed to be raging, and the whole place was shaking as if there was an earthquake.

“Can it work?”

Yue Wuwei narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the third layer of the Bounded Domains.

Swish!

The third layer began to tremble.

But it only lasted for three seconds.

Crack!

A huge thunder column broke through the light column and fell on Zhang Han.

Sizzle!

In an instant, the Heaven-earth Formation shattered.

Countless crystal stones, Formation Stones, and Formation Flags were all turned into ashes.

Even Zhang Han’s hair stood on end because of the electricity.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A breeze blew.

The second layer of the Bounded Domains had returned to how it was before. As for the first layer, it was also slowly recovering. The Barrier-breaking Stone had shattered, and its power had disappeared.

“Alas, it’s really not easy to get it.” Yue Wuwei sighed softly.

“Failed?” Loshanwu was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Han. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

The corners of Zhang Han’s mouth twitched several times. He ran his energy and restored his hair and clothes to normal. He shook his numb arms, looked ahead, and suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground.

“Exactly what went wrong?”

He pondered to himself.

“This matter has to be solved. There must be something wrong with the formation that I used, otherwise, I would not have suffered a thunderous counterattack.”

As such, he began to replay the process in his mind.

Loshanwu looked left and right before he finally stood aside in silence.

Yue Wuwei observed the Bounded Domains for a while and shook his head, indicating that he had no way to break them by force.

With his strength at the Tribulation Stage, he might be able to do it, but if he did do it and destroyed the treasure in there, wouldn’t their effort be in vain?

He felt that he could only watch aside.

He knew a little about the array of formations and pellet refining, but he found that he was still far inferior to Zhang Han in these two aspects.

“That’s strange.”

Yue Wuwei stared at Zhang Han for a few seconds. He then sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

On the other side.

It was already midnight when the moon hung high in the sky.

In Garden Square.

“I’ll send you back to rest first.”

They had a good chat, but it was late at night. In the middle of the night, Dong Xiang got up and said those words without waiting for Zhang Han and the others to come back.

“Okay.”

Zi Yan, Zhou Fei, Zhang Li, Liang Hao, and the rest of the crowd gathered nearby and went back to the palace where they lived.

But as soon as they walked out of Garden Square and were about to arrive at the palace, they saw a woman in a long dress standing by a gate.

“Chu Qingyi?”

Zhao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and got very alert.

“Chu Qingyi is an expert in the Void-refining Realm. Now that Master and Yue Wuwei are not around, it will be very dangerous if she’s up to anything.”

After thinking for a while, Zhao Feng took out three sixth-tier Defensive Treasures and held them in his hands.

“I’m very sorry to visit you so rashly. I mean no harm. I just want to talk to Zi Yan about something.” Chu Qingyi was not used to explaining herself, so she spoke slowly.

“If you have something to tell her, just say it here and now,” Zhou Fei said.

“Well, Chu Qingyi is also a friend of ours. I’ve known her for a few years. She’s rather straightforward.” Dong Xiang explained.

This could also be considered speaking up for Chu Qingyi.

“I want to speak with you alone.” Chu Qingyi’s gaze fell on Zi Yan.

Zi Yan was silent and did not agree to anything.

Zhou Fei wanted to refuse.

Zhao Feng held the Defense Treasures and adjusted to the situation.

The others didn’t dare to say anything.

“There are some things…” Rong Jiali took a step forward.

With a smile on her face, she said, “We don’t mean to make things difficult for you. Miss Chu. We’ve also heard about your identity. In fact, some things don’t need to be done.”

“I wish to chat with her. Merely, I just want to tell her something. I can temporarily seal my cultivation level,” Chu Qingyi said.

“No need to do that.”

Zi Yan suddenly said, “I agree to talk to you.”

Then, she looked at Rong Jiali and smiled. “Mom, Xiaofeng, you can go back first.”

Seeing this, Zhou Fei immediately said, “I have to stay with you.”

The corners of Rong Jiali’s eyes twitched. Originally, she wanted to stay.

In the end, others still left and stood a hundred meters away.

Even Dong Xiang was waiting by the side.

Chu Qingyi took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zi Yan. She waved her hand and raised a sound-proof cover.

“You are so beautiful.”

Chu Qingyi pursed her lips slightly and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Previously, I was nervous not because I adore him.”

After thinking for a long time, she realized that Zhang Hanyang’s wife was jealous.

Hearing this, Zi Yan shook her head slightly and found it quite funny. She said in a gentle tone, “We turned you down not just because of that, but also because of certain uncontrollable factors.”

What she meant by that were unexpected factors.

“Our life is very stable. Why would we need some unexpected factors in it?”

This was the biggest reason why Zi Yan refused Chu Qingyi.

“Yeah. We don’t know who you are and where you come from,” Zhou Fei said, “You only said that you are a member of the Chu Family, and we have no information about you. We don’t know your personality or temper, and we don’t know your specific situation. How can we agree to your proposal?”

“I understand that.”

After Chu Qingyi finished speaking, she went silent.

She thought for a few seconds.

Under the gaze of Zi Yan and Zhou Fei, she slowly said, “I’m not good at talking. To put it simply, I’m alive because of the Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord, Zhang Hanyang.”

“He’s her savior?”

Zi Yan and Zhou Fei were silent, intending to hear what she had to say.

“I’m from the Chu Family in the Astral Domain, but my identity remains on the surface. I used to cultivate very slowly and it was very difficult for me to cultivate back then. I wasn’t used to many of the cultivation methods and occult arts of my family. Later, I was plotted against and seriously injured. At that time, I was in the Elixir Realm Middle Stage. The person who sent people to attack me was my family’s Eldest Lady, whom I had accompanied for more than ten years. I didn’t go back to my family, but I was recuperating on a planet on the edge of the Astral Domain.

“I didn’t expect my injury to suddenly be so serious. I fell unconscious and couldn’t distinguish anything. I didn’t know why that happened.

“By chance, I stumbled upon a cultivator’s abode and obtained the martial arts heritage of its predecessors.

“There were many ancient books there, as well as a few bottles of medicinal pellets. I took some pellets, and only then did my condition improve.

“After reading the ancient books, I realized that I’m a member of the Devil Shadow Clan. My bloodline was awakened, but I didn’t have the item for awakening. I almost died.

“It’s some methods from the ancient books, as well as those few bottles of medicinal pellets that saved me. Then, I saw him. I saw the back of the Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord. He held a sword in his right hand and looked extraordinary.

“From that point on, I made a vow that I must find him. I’ll take him as my master and accompany him around.

“From a book of secret methods, I learned that the Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord is very familiar with the Heavenly Dragon Star Province, so I came here. I finally found out that Zhang Hanyang is the Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord. I can’t figure out a lot of things, but I know that he is that great master who helped me.

“Thus, I wish to stay. I hope that you will grant my wish.”

Chu Qingyi looked at Zi Yan sincerely.

As for Zi Yan and Zhou Fei, they were silent at this moment.

Even Zi Yan felt a little confused.

“What a wonderful story.”

Zhou Fei thought for a moment and said, “I think you should live your own life. How troublesome will it be if you trap yourself with trammels like this?”

Chu Qingyi didn’t say anything. It seemed that she had finished half a year’s worth of words in the past few minutes.

She looked at Zi Yan.

One second, two seconds…
