Chapter 577 World Doubts
"Are you so sure that you can take me back?"

Lu Ran let go of her defense and allowed the five bony fingers to penetrate her forehead.

Her body seemed like water element, even becoming transparent, and her five bony fingers were clearly visible in the mind.

Hai Shan's expression became extremely solemn.

"Aren't you worried that it's you who's taken back?"

Lu Ran reached out and touched Hai Shan's face.

Hai Shan screamed and quickly withdrew her hand. Her figure flashed, and countless black air wrapped around her body, and she retreated to the other side of the table.

Lu Ran smiled softly and smoothed her hair off her cheek, "You are not the only one who wants to take back my property."

Hai Shan's eyes darkened and she glanced outside Yixiang Pavilion.

A surge of energy similar to her own came rushing in, and right in front of her and Lu Ran, it transformed into the figure of a woman in black.

As soon as this person appeared, the atmosphere in the entire pavilion changed and became centered around her.

"God's heart!"

Hai Shan stared at the woman with a wary look.

"It's great that you two are here. It saves me a lot of trouble."

The woman in black was Shenxin Yunli, her eyes glowed purple, and she crossed her arms and said with a smile.

"You are really good at making trouble. You disrupted my plan as soon as you came and made the situation passive."

Lu Ran glanced at her reproachfully and said accusingly.

"Being active or passive all depends on your own ability. When you are incompetent, everything is passive. If you two know better and let me take it back, then everything will become active."

Shenxin Yunli put one foot on the stool, bent down, stared at Lu Ran and said.

"Don't say useless things, let's discuss what to do next."

Lu Ran stretched out her hand to push her away and said, "Neither of us is sure to recycle each other, and we are both afraid of being recycle by the other side, so the recycling issue can be put on hold for now. How to deal with the current situation is the real matter."

"Where's Dipo? You should have contacted him as well."

Shen Xin Yun Li put down his feet, sat on the stool, and said: "Everyone has been freed. This is a fateful moment. That kid must have also emerged as a result."

"He did come out, but I'm not sure whether he will come to Haidu. After all, we are all new individuals and have different minds."

Lu Ran said slowly.

"Then how confident are you in snatching the divine blood? From what I know, Pan is almost the strongest fighter in the world. If you don't have the power of Shenyin, it will be difficult to contend with him, not to mention that there are a lot of top sea clan warriors."

Shen Xin Yunli said hesitantly.

"The sea clan is not a monolithic entity. Whether the plate can be successfully refined is still unknown. My plan has steps. After your forcible interference, many things can only be moved forward."

Lu Ran looked at Shen Xin Yun Li and showed dissatisfaction again.

……

Xie Huan and the other two cut through space and entered the inner world of the Nine Heavens Pearl.

It was as if I had traveled through time. The world before my eyes was ancient and decayed. There was no light or darkness, only gray.

Occasionally, some light elements condense, swaying and illuminating the antiquity of the ancient monuments, and then shatter.

"Is this the world that existed before the Immortal Road was closed?"

Bo Hang swallowed hard and said nervously, "Then can we guess that an immortal once lived here, or that the owner of the Nine Heavens Pearl was an immortal?"

"If that's true, then this place can be considered an immortal relic. According to the records on the gold foil, there are five original stones of immortal monuments here, and there should be many secrets on them."

Long Xiu was also a little excited, but still spoke cautiously: "I'm afraid that what Ah Zi said is unreliable. Xie Huan, what do you think?"

"She didn't have to lie to us. It's just that Ah Zi is not the core of the Dark Skeleton. The person behind her is the core of the Dark Skeleton."

Xie Huan said.

"The person behind this?"

Bohang was surprised.

Long Xiu's face was calm as he smiled and said, "When the girl spoke, she paused and her expression was inconsistent with the content of her words. It was obvious that someone was whispering to her from behind. It must be the Dark Skeleton Core. But I think this Ah Zi also seems to have an extraordinary background."

"Well, birds of a feather flock together. Strange people always gather around strange people."

Xie Huan said this and glanced at Long Xiu.

Both of them looked embarrassed.

"But this Ah Zi reminds me of another person."

Xie Huan said thoughtfully.

"Who?"

Long Xiu asked.

"Lu Ran."

Xie Huan frowned, stroking his chin and thinking, "Both of them are spirits, and they are both very strange spirits. Even I can't see any clues."

"The person behind Ah Zi, could it be Lu Ran?"

Long Xiu asked in surprise.

"Don't make assumptions without evidence."

Xie Huan shook his head and said, "Moreover, Lu Ran is a hidden spy planted by the Shadow Market. If she is the core of the Dark Skeleton, it would be incredible. But no matter who the Dark Skeleton Core is, we can just use his "momentum" to deal with Pan to achieve our own goals. We can't trust this person completely, but we don't have to distrust him completely. We need to calculate one step at a time and maximize our benefits as much as possible while ensuring our own safety. Let's explore this ancient world first and see if we can find the raw stone of the immortal monument."

The three of them immediately flew into that world.

He discovered that this world was vast and huge. It not only had land, but also mountains, rivers, and even oceans. A large amount of water elements still existed and had not dried up. This should be because the sea was surrounded by water, but the spiritual energy inside had completely dissipated.

"Strange, if this water element came from the sea city, why is there no spiritual energy at all? And if it was originally here, why didn't it dry up?"

Long Xiu grabbed a handful of mountain spring, gathered it in front of his palm, and observed it carefully.

"It's not that no one has come here. Since the high-level officials of Haidu can control the Nine Heavens Pearl, they must know the situation here. And A Zi and the Dark Skeleton Core must have come here as well. I even suspect..."

Xie Huan frowned and thought, "It's unreasonable for Shen Xin Yun Li to make such a big fuss when she first came to Haidu. Her purpose is definitely not just to kill Long Xiu. Is she deliberately trying to attract the attention of Haidu's top leaders? Or maybe her purpose is to split the Nine Heavens Pearl and reveal the world inside the pearl, or maybe both."

"It's too complicated. A simple person like me can't handle it. Hurry up and find the raw stone. I will leave Haidu and won't accompany you anymore."

Long Xiu just felt a headache, and instantly released his spiritual consciousness, which rushed in all directions.

While Xie Huan was sensing the situation here, he summoned Leila and asked her to follow him so that she could get familiar with and understand the world construction here so that she could have a reference.

This may be the only chance to refer to other worlds.

Leila learned about everything through Xie Huan's divine sense. She rubbed her hands excitedly, flew into the air, and observed carefully.

"Guye tribe? You are really good. The builder of this world is actually from the Guye tribe."

Long Xiu glanced at Leila and said.

In fact, it was purely a coincidence that Xie Huan asked Leila to build the world.

Xie Huan's divine consciousness quickly reached its limit, but it was far from covering this world. He pondered and said, "The world is too big to be explored in detail. I suggest finding the World Tree first."

"Yes, the World Tree is the core of Shenzhen, but this place is so vast, where would the tree be?"

Long Xiu echoed.

The two looked at each other, began to calm down, took out their respective magic treasures, and sensed each other.

A beam of golden light from Long Xiu's hand flew into the gray sky, and suddenly the golden light shone brightly, and the Dragon-Splitting Blade Realm turned into a golden dragon, circling and dancing.

Xie Huan's entire body was covered with golden flowers and leaves, which spread out along his body, as if a plant had transformed into a spirit.

As the two magical treasures came into the world, they immediately emitted clear and pleasant sounds, as if they were sensing and vibrating each other, forming a peaceful, rhythmic energy wave.

This was the first time Long Xiu saw Xie Huan's magic treasure. He opened his eyes wide, full of surprise and confusion. Among the several magic treasures he knew, none seemed to look like this. Long Xiu was surprised and asked, "What exactly is your magic treasure? Is it a new species that has never appeared in the world?"

"Maybe."

Xie Huan suddenly thought of Galan’s Book of Heaven and Earth, which used to be the world residence of the ancient spirit clan.

The Nine Heavens Pearl World before our eyes can be traced back to the ancient times of the immortals.

This shows that the world within these magical treasures has existed for a long time.

And one's own world only appeared at the creation of the world after one's true nature evolved into a precious flower.

Could it really be the new Shenzhen?

But how to distinguish the old and new Shenzhen? Even how did Shenzhen come into being?

"unfair!"

Long Xiu shouted, "You already know my Shen Zhen's ability, but I don't know yours."

"It's so funny, how old are you? Want to be fair?"

Xie Huan sneered, then closed his eyes and said coldly: "Don't waste time, sense the location of the World Tree."

Long Xiu moved his lips twice, but knowing that Xie Huan would definitely not tell him, he suddenly felt bored and stopped talking nonsense. He just paid more attention to the appearance and condition of Xie Huan's magic treasure, and then began to sense his own magic treasure.

After they sensed each other quietly for a while, they opened their eyes one after another, both with puzzled expressions.

"It's all empty, there's nothing."

Long Xiu spoke first.

"Is the world in decline and the tree dead?"

Xie Huan crossed his arms across his chest, touching his chin with his right hand as he thought.

Then I thought of the weaving of fate. After so many years of decline, the world was broken, but the tree was still there, and when the world was completely broken, it turned into fruit.

Even if this Nine Heavens Pearl is destroyed, it should still bear fruit, right?

What's more, only the mother bead was destroyed, there was still a small bead floating in the sky.

"Could it be..."

Xie Huan and Long Xiu's eyes lit up at the same time, as if they had thought of something, and said in unison: "The tree is in the seed bead?"

"No, no."

Long Xiu immediately corrected him and said, "There is a world only where there are trees. If the tree is in the pearl, then there will be no world here."

"Is it possible that after this place was destroyed, the tree was transplanted to the sub-bead by the high-level members of the sea tribe, or that there were trees in both the sub-bead and the mother-bead. Because there were two of them, the energy of the tree was weaker than that of ordinary divine treasures, so after the world was destroyed, the tree was gone."

Xie Huan analyzed and said.

"Your idea is logical, but there is no evidence. Shenzhen has too little information to deduce any abnormal situation."

Long Xiu disagreed and shook his head.

"You two, what should we do now? We can't delay any longer."

Bohang said anxiously.

“Maybe it’s feasible to go in this direction.”

Leila, who was observing the world, suddenly pointed in a direction, and then saw the three people looking at her. Her cheeks flushed immediately, and she stammered, "I just feel that the construction of this world seems to contain some kind of formation principle. Although I can't see it completely, I can sense a little bit. The aesthetics of the architectural style should also conform to the rules of the universe. From this point of view, that should be the center of the world."

"Just go over there."

Xie Huan said decisively.

The four of them immediately transformed into light and flew in that direction.

The spiritual senses of several people were constantly scanning the detectable range, and soon they arrived at the edge of a water element. At first glance, it looked like a vast ocean, boundless.

“There is such a magnificent sea.”

Long Xiu was shocked.

This sea is not as quiet as the land, but with surging waves. However, there is no breath of any living creature in it. It is a dead sea.

“Did we go the wrong way?”

Bohang asked doubtfully.

"That shouldn't be the case. This is the ocean. Yes, the core of this world should be on the other side of the ocean. There is land there."

Leila pointed forward, but her tone was a little low and she seemed unconfident.

After all, she was just speculating.

"Then go over and take a look. No matter how big the ocean is, it won't take long at our speed."

Long Xiu said encouragingly: "I believe in Leila."

Leila was filled with gratitude.

"If there is land on the other side of the sea, then this inner world is even bigger than the outer world."

Bohang was still a little hesitant.

“Isn’t it normal to be bigger?”

Long Xiu said: "The Shenzhen World is originally a mustard seed of Mount Sumeru. It has a universe inside. It is normal even if it is endless."

Xie Huan suddenly sighed: "Do you think that the Changkong Realm we are in is also the interior of a divine treasure?"

Several people were stunned, and then fell silent.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Long Xiu laughed and said, "That's a bit exciting. If that's true, then where is the World Tree?"

“Maybe in some place we’ve never been.”

Xie Huan said thoughtfully.

"For example? I think the more you think about it, the more outrageous it gets. Whether it's the World Tree or a place you've never set foot on, there should be at least a few words passed down, right? At least I've never seen it. Boy, you may have logic, but everything requires evidence."

Long Xiu retorted.

"For example... the ancient forbidden area of ​​​​the Great Void."

Xie Huan said word by word.

Several people's expressions changed.

Long Xiu just stood there with his mouth open.

If we say that outside the Yuanyang Sea, or even at the other end of the sea, there are fragments of records in ancient books, it seems to be a vast land, but the ancient forbidden land of Taixu...

Since ancient times, no one who entered has ever come out, and there is no record of any words.

If the World Tree is inside, it might be possible.

"You kid... don't let your imagination run wild."

Long Xiu’s face turned pale and he glared at Xie Huan.

In fact, he was already a little nervous, and his thoughts couldn't help but diverge along Xie Huan's speculation. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Indeed, it's useless to think about these things. Even if it is a divine world, so what? Even if it is not, so what? There is no difference."

Xie Huan sighed and said, "Let's cross the sea first and solve the current dilemma."

After saying that, he released a minefield, which completely enveloped the three people. It turned into a bolt of thunder and rushed to the other side of the sea.
