Chapter 2964: Honest Jiang Finds Money and Returns It!
In the fourth dimension, Jiangnan was practically circling around Tianhu Daoist, observing him from every angle!
Yet Tianhu Daoist was completely unaware of anything unusual!
He simply started operating the golden compass directly!
His hands rapidly formed seals, unleashing spells, as dense golden energy surged from his body, condensing into talismans that drilled into the compass!
Golden formations popped up from the compass, and the needle inside began spinning wildly!
This got Jiangnan excited—what was this compass? A magical artifact? Could it be something like a treasure-hunting compass?
(*⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈) Oh ho ho~ I want it!
Tianhu Daoist worked for a while, but the compass needle kept spinning randomly!
(˵¯͒益¯͒˵) “Tsk~ Still no reaction? That can’t be right? Is the detection range of the Immortal Yuan Compass not wide enough? Tsk~ I’ll go all out!”
This guy then pulled out a small jade bottle from his pouch, poured out a golden pill, reluctantly stuffed it into his mouth, and then took out a talisman made of unknown material, covered in flickering, complex dao patterns!
He slapped it directly onto his forehead; the talisman turned to ashes, and his eyes emitted golden light!
Then, with another pull, he took out a leather hand-drum!
It looked ancient, emitting a strong ominous aura!
Jiangnan’s mouth watered as he watched—was this pouch on his waist a treasure bag or a Qiankun bag? A spatial backpack?
How many novel treasures were packed inside? If Black God saw these, wouldn’t he be ecstatic?
Next, Tianhu Daoist roared!
“Spirit Platform! Activate! Heavenly Soul Art!”
A terrifying divine sense erupted from Tianhu Daoist as the center, even distorting the void, mixed with golden spiritual power!
This divine sense gathered and condensed, forming a drum hammer, which struck the leather drum fiercely!
With each strike, circles of golden ripples expanded outward, rippling through the entire Demon Eye Galaxy!
Jiangnan’s pupils contracted sharply!
∑(°口°๑) “Dammit? A prototype of willpower? Are you kidding me? In the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World, can just anyone use willpower?”
As an old hand at using willpower, Jiangnan knew this aspect inside out!
The energy fluctuation intensity inside this cultivator, converted to the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World, was probably only at the Star Breaker level, and even that was the kind capable of destroying a planet!
With such weak strength, it was absurd that he could unleash willpower—and it wasn’t even that weak!
Could it be that in the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World, the development of willpower was very thorough?
Thinking about this, Jiangnan immediately got excited!
After all, the reason he couldn’t carry too much Realm Source Energy was partly due to his body’s tolerance and partly because his willpower improvement was too slow!
If he could find a way to enhance willpower here, he would hit the jackpot!
These three hundred years wouldn’t be wasted!
How could Jiangnan not be excited?
Since cultivation should involve deep research into divine thoughts, divine sense, and so on, right?
But he couldn’t get too happy too soon; maybe he just happened to stumble upon a rare case like a blind cat catching a dead mouse?
Better observe first!
Meanwhile, Tianhu Daoist, exhausted from drumming for so long, finally got a reaction from the compass under the stimulation of the golden ripples!
The needle pointed straight in one direction!
Tianhu Daoist’s eyes lit up:
(〃✪ꇴ✪) “Hiss~ Such a strong Immortal Yuan reaction? Indeed! There really is a hidden treasure here!”
Without hesitation, he flew straight toward the direction the compass indicated!
Jiangnan: ???
Wasn’t that the direction of the Xianzhou Star? How did he find it?
Startled, Jiangnan quickly chased after!
Sure enough, Tianhu Daoist arrived directly in front of the Xianzhou Star!
“True Dao Eye! Open!”
Two leaf-like phantoms flashed before his eyes, and his eyes burst with dazzling golden light as he stared at the Xianzhou Star!
(๑ò△ó) “Hiss~ Such abundant Immortal Yuan reserves? Could this be the entrance to some immortal’s cave? I need to investigate thoroughly!”
His divine sense swept the surroundings, confirming no other life forms existed!
Then he began frantically preparing!
He slapped various talismans onto himself, muttering incantations!
His aura was suppressed to the extreme, completely hidden, and he even took out a small black flag emitting dark mist!
He also pulled out two spiritual puppets to protect him—extremely lifelike!
In one hand, he clutched a warm white square seal, and in the other’s sleeve, he hid a golden, glowing talisman!
Seeing Tianhu Daoist fully prepared, the corners of Jiangnan’s mouth twitched!
This guy looked like a seasoned veteran, an old trickster from the cultivation world!
Just exploring a planet, and he prepared this thoroughly?
Even though his energy fluctuation wasn’t weak, he was so cautious?
Jiangnan knew he couldn’t keep watching!
He absolutely couldn’t let this cultivator explore the Xianzhou Star—his villa was on it!
The Xianzhou Star was the most crucial existence to him; if the planet was lost, he would lose his way back!
Tsk~ You had nothing better to do than come here?
Fully armed and prepared, Tianhu Daoist was about to set off!
But behind him, a gigantic hand silently emerged from the fourth dimension!
“Time Expansion Effect • Instant Eternity!”
A golden halo blossomed instantly, completely freezing the space-time around Tianhu Daoist—time stopped!
At that moment, he was sealed like an insect in amber, his thoughts halted!
He had no idea what happened!
A weakling little cultivator like him couldn’t resist Jiangnan’s time expansion technique!
Jiangnan leisurely stepped out of the fourth dimension!
He didn’t bother with Tianhu Daoist at all; instead, he headed straight for the treasure-hunting compass, grabbed it, fiddled with it for a while, and even used his X-ray vision!
He even tried to mimic the incantations Tianhu Daoist had just used, but it didn’t work at all!
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･) “Hey~ This must be some magical artifact, right? I can’t use it?”
He also picked up the flying sword and studied it, flicking it—the sound was crisp, but he didn’t dare flick too hard, afraid of breaking it!
(*⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) “This thing is really amazing! A flying sword with warp capability? They’ve studied innate runes thoroughly. Too bad I destroyed the ones back home.”
“Oh? This spiritual puppet? A battle dummy? I wonder how it compares to silicon-based mechanical warriors. Can it fire star-destroying cannons or something?”
“What material is this talisman? So soft? Would it be good for wiping my butt? Not too rough? Not bad, not bad. What’s in this gourd?”
Jiangnan was completely immersed in studying everything the cultivator had brought out—all things he had never seen before!
He directly pulled out the plug from the big gourd!
Turned it upside down and shook it!
Out came three black flying swords and a lot of shiny black sand, cold to the touch—no idea what it was!
Throughout this, Tianhu Daoist remained motionless because, to him, time was frozen!
Jiangnan even opened the small pouch on his waist and rifled through it to see what treasures were inside!
Now Jiangnan was truly amazed!
The space inside the small pouch was terrifyingly large, filled with all kinds of ores, spiritual herbs, immortal plants, bottles and jars of pills and potions!
There were also flying boats, strange magical artifacts, and odd golden stones—few in number—containing energy similar to the energy veins in the Xianzhou Star!
These must be some kind of spirit stones?
In short, the contents of these pouches fulfilled all his fantasies about cultivation!
Jiangnan even found a bunch of women’s undergarments, all worn and with the original scent!
“Hah~ Spit! This isn’t anything good! What’s with the collection fetish?”
Jiangnan was like a crazy treasure-digging weasel, turning everything Tianhu Daoist had over thoroughly!
His main goal was to find cultivation methods for willpower!
But after a long search, he only found a pile of warm, jade-like tablets, which seemed to have text recorded on them!
They might contain cultivation techniques, secrets, or something!
Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to use them, and he couldn’t read the writing!
(•́～•̀٥) “Huh? In the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World, don’t they have things like phones or artificial brains? It seems their world’s development hasn’t focused much on the tech tree?”
After searching extensively, Jiangnan sighed helplessly and stopped. Simply rummaging like this wouldn’t gather useful information!
But he didn’t want to have too much interaction with the people of this world, since he hadn’t figured out the situation yet—he was unsure!
But letting him go like this? He didn’t want to!
He wanted all the treasures on Tianhu Daoist, if only to study them for fun when bored!
Should he just kill him?
However, Jiangnan didn’t know what consequences would arise if an outsider killed a native of the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World!
After all, how would a life’s death be accounted for?
Everything was unknown!
He could take these treasures, as long as he didn’t bring them back to the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World!
Jiangnan hesitated on the spot for a long time, then finally sighed!
(◞‸◟) “Sigh~ I never thought I, Jiang Pixiu, would one day be honest and return lost items! You’re lucky! Don’t come here again, or I might strip you down to your underpants and throw you out!”
Saying this, he restored all of Tianhu Daoist’s belongings to their original state!
Then he aimed his hand at Tianhu Daoist: “Spatial Ejection!”
“Boom!”
Space first compressed, then expanded!
Tianhu Daoist was shot straight away, crossing who knows how many star domains, instantly disappearing!
Slapping his hands, Jiangnan stretched lazily, his gaze falling on the Xianzhou Star!
“Hmm~ After all, it’s my ride home. Leaving it out here isn’t safe? Better hide it!”
With that, he aimed his hand at the Xianzhou Star!
“Spatial Refraction!”
The surrounding light was bent by the distorted space, and the Xianzhou Star magically vanished from the starry sky, completely hidden!
Yet it didn’t affect its original orbit!
“Done! First, I should check the strategy guide for this world, or I’ll be fumbling around blind, doing everything with hesitation!”
To understand the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World, he didn’t necessarily have to go in person. Jiangnan had other methods!
He casually found an empty area of void in the Demon Eye Galaxy, immediately activated Black Hole Devouring Star, and maintained it at its smallest form!
The black hole transformed by Jiangnan devoured all matter, space, and everything—returning it to the Realm Source Forbidden Sea, converting it back into Realm Source Energy!
So although the total amount of matter in the Celestial Palace Starry Sky World decreased, it was just returning to the five-dimensional Realm Source Forbidden Sea—this operation was fine!
