Marvel Superheroes in China

As soon as the azure energy emerged, it enveloped the bead formed from the Xuanming Heavy Water, as if the Xuanming Heavy Water had been activated instantly.

A long, dark beam of light shot into the core of the teleportation array.

The immense energy instantly activated the teleportation array, which slowly began to rotate.

A massive light screen, moving at incredible speed, enveloped the three people present. Then, with a flash of light, all three disappeared into the light screen.

After the three people disappeared, the teleportation array returned to its previous state, which was filled with clutter.

When Qin Wu and the other two regained their senses, they found themselves in the Investiture of the Gods.

Chi Yaotai and Qin Wu were alright, but the Three-Eyed Jade Toad was still like this after it was delivered, probably because its talisman was smeared with saliva.

This may have caused the talisman to malfunction, resulting in the Three-Eyed Jade Toad remaining unconscious.

With no other option, Qin Wu could only take out a spirit beast bag from his storage space—a bag he had acquired at some unknown time and from some unknown place—and temporarily put the Three-Eyed Jade Toad inside.

After dealing with the three-eyed jade toad, Qin Wu asked Chi Yaotai:

"Are we currently in the period of the Investiture of the Gods?"

Chi Yaotai looked around at the desolate wilderness and shook her head in confusion:

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself..."

Qin Wu: "Now there's a problem, how are we going to get back?"

Chi Yaotai: "It's very simple. When we go back, we'll find the location of the Chaotic Star Sea in this time period or in this plane."

"Why don't we just use that teleportation array to go back?"

Qin Wu's face instantly darkened, and Chi Yaotai quickly explained:

"You don't need to worry about this. I already set up the location when we came. Finding the Chaotic Star Sea at this time period won't be difficult for us."

After hearing this, Qin Wu almost cried: "Big sister, have you ever considered that at this point in time, your teleportation array might not even have appeared yet?"

Chi Yaotai was also momentarily confused:

"What do you mean?"

Qin Wu slapped his forehead, feeling as if his head had suddenly grown a size larger. No matter how powerful this demon's cultivation was, he was still just a demon at heart, and he didn't even understand such a simple time paradox!

Chapter 496 The Time Paradox (7)

Qin Wu tried his best to explain to Chi Yaotai in a more accessible way:

"According to what you said before, the teleportation array in your cave only appeared after the Investiture of the Gods, after the goddess Nuwa teleported Daji, right?"

Chi Yaotai: "That's right, didn't I tell you this before!"

Oh, right! No matter how long we stay here, it only lasts half a month over there.

Qin Wu: "But have you considered that at a certain point in the time of the Investiture of the Gods, when we were teleported, that teleportation array had not yet appeared!"

As soon as Qin Wu finished speaking, Chi Yaotai was completely dumbfounded. She really hadn't considered this issue beforehand.

However, Chi Yaotai is no fool for cultivating to this level.

With Qin Wu's explanation, they naturally understood:

"So, in other words, we might have to stay here for twenty years?"

Qin Wu didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Qin Wu originally thought that Chi Yaotai would be very anxious to come up with a solution, but Chi Yaotai not only showed no sign of being anxious, but instead said nonchalantly:

"It's just twenty years, we can just wait."

Now it was Qin Wu's turn to be completely bewildered. He finally realized that the reason Chi Yaotai didn't care about this matter was because she was a demon!

How could an old guy who has lived for five hundred years have a concept of time?

But since we're already here, we can't dwell on these things anymore; we have to get something out of it no matter what.

Qin Wu looked at his physique and thought that lasting another twenty years wouldn't be difficult!

In this way, Qin Wu finally understood, just as Chi Yaotai turned around and called to him:

"I just used my divine sense and discovered there's a market nearby. Let's go check it out first, at least to figure out where we are!"

As they spoke, the two of them flew together towards the market, and soon they arrived at the market.

Qin Wu and Chi Yaotai descended from the clouds and landed not far from the market when no one was around.

Thanks to Qin Wu's foresight, he specially sent Li Qiushui to the film and television city to buy him a set of ancient costumes before coming here. Otherwise, if he had dressed like he did before, he would have been arrested and sacrificed to the heavens.

Two people stood by the roadside, stopping a passerby:

"Brother, could you tell me what's up ahead?"

To everyone's surprise, the man ignored him completely and simply turned and left.

This immediately made Qin Wu blush deeply. Chi Yaotai, barely suppressing her laughter, grabbed Qin Wu and pulled him close:

"Look at your face, you look like a plague carrier. Even if it were me, I wouldn't tell you, you know!"

"Get up, I'll handle 650!"

As she spoke, Chi Yaotai stopped an old woman by the roadside:

"Auntie, do you know what's ahead?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, you're quite a striking girl!"

Goodness, they've even started using dialects!

There's no need to ask anymore; Qin Wu knows with his eyes closed that this is Chaoge, the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty!

The capital of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge, is present-day Luoyang, Henan.

So when this old lady opened her mouth, her accent was exactly the same as that of a certain famous crosstalk comedian with a big face!

But Chiyaotai was an aquatic demon; how could she have ever heard of the Henan dialect?

Chapter 497 Taigong's Divination (1)

If the two of them start fighting while talking, things could escalate significantly.

So Qin Wu quickly pulled Chi Yaotai over and said to the old woman, "Auntie, do you know where this is?"

The old woman immediately realized and said:

"Oh, you're from out of town, right?"

Qin Wu quickly nodded: "That's right, we're from out of town!"

"That explains it. If you follow this road, you'll reach Chaoge City not far ahead."

Qin Wu: "Thank you so much, Auntie!"

The old woman waved her hands vigorously, like a windmill:

"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It must have been quite a journey for you two, coming all this way!"

After saying that, she swayed and walked towards the market. Qin Wu was about to explain the situation to Chi Yaotai, but when he turned around, he found that Chi Yaotai's face was actually red!

"what happened to you?"

Chi Yaotai: "What did that old lady just say?"

Qin Wu replied with a silly grin:

She said Chaoge City was not far ahead...

"No, no, I meant the next sentence."

Qin Wu instantly understood: this old guy who had cultivated for five hundred years was still a novice when it came to matters of the heart!

The old woman's words made Qin Wu blush bright red, but even so, Qin Wu remained vigilant at all times.

Who knows when this guy will reveal his true colors, especially at a crucial moment... Qin Wu immediately felt a chill.

The scene was truly indescribable.

Thinking of this, Qin Wu quickly changed the subject: "Alright, alright, let's hurry into the city before it gets dark, otherwise the roads will be difficult to travel!"

Chi Yaotai is also in a daze right now:

"Oh, okay, let's go then!"

But as Chi Yaotai walked, she felt something was wrong. She was a demon, so why was she afraid of the dark?

However, by the time she realized it, the two of them were already almost at the market.

Looking at the few scattered people in front of him, Qin Wu thought to himself, "This can be called a market? Isn't the definition of a market in the Shang Dynasty a bit too broad?"

Chi Yaotai: "Qin Wu, there aren't enough people here?"

As they were talking, two people approached Qin Wu and Chi Yaotai, and the two began to chat as soon as they met:

"Brother Li, where are you going? The morning market is about to close, you won't be able to buy anything at this time."

The other person immediately chimed in:
