I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes asked herself, with her talent and strength, she couldn't be considered invincible among those of the same level. She couldn't kill a genius of Yin Kui's level, and she still couldn't understand how Zhang Yangqing had done it.

Zhang Yangqing was already used to being flattered.

That's how outstanding people are; they get praised wherever they go.

He waved his hand casually, "What are his special characteristics?"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes pondered for a moment, then tilted her head and thought, "Skilled? Different temperament?"

Zhang Yangqing shook his head: "No, he's very arrogant and always does things alone, understand?"

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something, her eyes lighting up as if struck by something: "This Tianlang, like Yin Kui, is a lone wolf, and he doesn't boast excessively. His talent is among the best of his generation, so such a person has a high status in the local area, at least knowing many secrets. That's why you chose to save him, brother."

Zhang Yangqing nodded, looking calmly ahead: "That's right, that's the prerequisite for my choice of target, rather than just saving anyone, which is too troublesome."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes seemed to remember something and asked, "Brother, when you were looking at Tianyu just now, were you also thinking about refining and absorbing him? That way you could raise your upper limit and maybe even return to the Saint Realm. No, you could definitely return to the Saint Realm, and then we wouldn't have to be so timid."

In the world of supernatural tales, especially in a dog-eat-dog world, improving one's cultivation level is the best choice.

While it can't solve all problems, it can resolve 90% of the dangers.

Zhang Yangqing paused for a moment, then continued walking forward: "I have this idea, but Tianyu is special. If he leaves here, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, he basically doesn't leave and is well protected. We don't have a chance to make a move against him for the time being."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes understood; it wasn't that her brother wasn't planning to make a move, but rather that he felt it would be too difficult after considering all the factors.

There were other reasons, which Zhang Yangqing didn't say, but she could figure them out.

What Zhang Yangqing needs to do now is simply to find a body for the strange consciousness within him to reside in.

However, this body should not be too powerful, as it is also necessary to prevent backlash from the strange consciousness.

Find one that you can control, such as the peak of the Initial Saint Realm or the early stage of the Half Saint Realm.

There's no need to reach the Saint Realm; the backlash from reaching the Saint Realm is no joke.

Zhang Yangqing had already anticipated this. When he came here again through other strange tale worlds, he would be at the Celestial Realm, and he would have a Saint Realm person as his subordinate. How could a Saint Realm person be willing to accept that?

The two chatted as they headed towards Sancai Mountain, following the map given to them, to find the location of Xinggu Tianshi.

The map marks six locations, each in a different region: some deep in valleys, some on cliff edges, and some at river confluences.

Zhang Yangqing consulted the map and chose the shortest route.

But Zhang Yangqing never dreamed that Tianlang was good at everything, except that his drawings were a bit abstract.

The sense of distance is very poor, the marked positions are not accurate enough, the scale is inconsistent, and even the direction is marked incorrectly.

Zhang Yangqing and the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes walked for most of the day following the map, but the further they walked, the more something seemed off.

The mountain path became increasingly rugged, the trees increasingly sparse, the spiritual energy increasingly thin, and an inexplicable, unsettling atmosphere began to permeate the air.

At this moment, Zhang Yangqing and the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes did not find Xing Gutianshi, but instead arrived at a strange place according to the map.

Before us lay a forest of strange rocks, with countless enormous stones rising abruptly from the ground, some tens of meters high, others hundreds of meters high, like fingers reaching out from the earth and pointing towards the gray sky.

The stones come in all sorts of shapes; some resemble people, but you can't see their facial features, only their blurry outlines.

Some resemble beasts, but their limbs are twisted, as if they have been flattened and stretched by something. Others are indescribable, just a distorted shape that makes people uncomfortable to look at.

The stone's surface was covered with cracks, from which seeped a dark red liquid, resembling blood or rust.

A damp, rusty fog filled the air; it was so thick that visibility was only a dozen meters.

The sky was overcast, with no sun, no moon, no stars, only a thick layer of clouds that seemed like it would never dissipate.

The ground was covered with gravel and dead leaves, which made a crunching sound when stepped on, like stepping on bones.

Even more bizarrely, among those stones were scattered some strange figures, or more accurately, stones that resembled people, only in the same pose.

They maintained various postures; some stood with their hands outstretched, as if pushing something.

Some knelt with their hands behind their heads, as if begging for mercy.

Some were lying face down with their limbs outstretched, as if struggling.

Their faces were expressionless, their features blurred, but every gesture conveyed an extreme fear, as if they had seen something horrific before turning to stone.

Several stone tablets stand outside, with red warning text engraved on them: "Unauthorized trespassers will be turned to stone," "No one will return from this place," and "Warning! Extremely dangerous."

Some of the characters were blurred, while others were still very clear, as if they had been carved recently.

There were some rubble piled up under the stone tablet, and there were red characters on the rubble, but they were no longer legible.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the stone figures.

She could sense that something extremely terrifying was hidden in this strange rock forest—not in terms of strength, but in terms of the rules governing it.

You don't even know what you did wrong before you've turned into stone.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes couldn't help but complain, "That wolf is such a rip-off! How could the Xing Gu Tian clan live in a place like this?"

Zhang Yangqing did not answer, but walked to the nearest warning stone tablet, squatted down, and carefully looked at the words on it.

He reached out and touched the surface of the stone tablet, feeling a rough, cold sensation on his fingertips.

Zhang Yangqing stood up, his gaze sweeping over the stone figures before finally settling on the depths of the strange rock forest. He said, "I guess he drew it wrong, but we can go in and take a look."

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes paused for a moment, then frowned: "Brother, it's very dangerous here. Our current cultivation level is relatively low for this place."

Her idea was to wait until her cultivation level was higher before coming, as there was no need to take this risk.

The dangerous atmosphere here made her instinctively uneasy.

Zhang Yangqing looked at the "stone figures" thoughtfully.

His gaze shifted from one stone figure to another, as if he were looking for some kind of clue, or perhaps searching for some kind of pattern.

“I think this place is dangerous, but there should be rules. These guys turned into stone statues because they broke the rules. Don’t forget, the more dangerous a place is, the more likely it is to contain treasures. Just like the area where we went to find the Tree of Immortality, there were rules and dangers.”

He turned around, looking at the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes, a hint of seriousness in his eyes: "You've been in the Celestial Realm for a long time now. Perhaps these places contain items that can help you break through and raise your limits. I'll look for them for you along the way." (End of Chapter)
