Cataclysm King

Chapter 423 Old Man Xu is an Immortal

Since the other party wanted to listen, Ji Xun told him the general situation three thousand years later.

What about the Orlan King's Court that has ruled the Eastern Wasteland for three thousand years, the Innocence City where angels fell, and the recent invasion of the Southern Continent?
Ji Xun knows Chujiu and Nan Jing so he knows a lot about the survivors of Orlan. He also knows high-ranking federal officials like Catalina and knows a lot about the federation. There are also Qin Rushi from the revolutionary army, Jia Yu from the Illuminati and others. With information gathered from all sides, he is one of the small group of people who has the most thorough understanding of the situation and history of the Eastern Wilderness.

The Light Chaser Faro listened, his eyes remaining calm.

It seemed that even in the Card Master civilization three thousand years later, nothing happened that was beyond his expectations.

Only after Ji Xun finished speaking did he murmur, "It is similar to what I deduced. However, the method of the Southern High Priest is more sophisticated than expected."

Ji Xun didn't know what he meant.

But seeing that the other party didn't want to explain further, I didn't ask any more questions.

After all, this is a different dimension, and any action may trigger an unexpected plot.

It was a huge surprise to encounter this light chaser from three thousand years ago.

Ji Xun knew very well that under normal circumstances, with the current difficulty of the main storyline, it would be impossible for him to come into contact with NPCs of this level.

This is a "siege" rather than a "decisive battle".

I am not qualified to participate in the decisive battle where the gods fall.

But the fact is, by chance, they met here.

Ji Xun likes adventure, but he doesn't want to die.

He guessed that Farrow's appearance here must be targeting a certain Outer God.

Now he had to be careful with every word he said, trying not to involve himself in any hidden plots that he couldn't handle.

Ji Xun could think of it, and since the Light Chaser Faro knew that this was an alien dimension, he could obviously think of it as well.

This senior was also very caring. He mostly listened and rarely spoke.

Ji Xun talked about some things that happened three thousand years later, and even if he didn't go into too much detail, the other party could still deduce it.

In other words, if such a situation occurs three thousand years later, one of the planners will be the person in front of us.

Of course not surprising.

I just heard from Ji Xun that Faro was sure that certain things would happen in the future.

But now that he had encountered it, Ji Xun didn't want to give up the opportunity that might lead to some great opportunities.

The other party knew better than himself what questions could not be raised, which allowed Ji Xun to boldly raise some questions.

He thought of something and asked tentatively: "Senior, do you know a senior named Xu?"

As he spoke, he described Old Man Xu's appearance which had remained unchanged for a hundred years.

Old man Xu came in with me, and certain causes and effects cannot be avoided.

If there is anyone who really knows Old Man Xu's identity, this person probably knows it best.

Hearing this, Light Chaser Farrow was obviously interested and asked in surprise, "Senior Xu? Are you talking about the immortal 'time traveler' who wanders in the shadows of history?"

He suddenly realized something and said, "Oh, that's right. It's normal for you to come into contact with that person."

"Immortal?"

When Ji Xun heard the other person say this word, he was also stunned.

I thought Old Man Xu just lived longer.

Now it seems that it is different from what I thought.

Light Chaser Farrow seemed to see what he was curious about and explained, "Yes. No one knows where he came from, and no one doesn't know where he is going. He seems to be an ancient legend forgotten by time. But the traces he left in history are longer than the existence of our Illuminati. Well, that means he is a predecessor who existed in the last era."

"."

Ji Xun's eye twitched suddenly when he heard this.

It was already surprising to guess that Old Man Xu had lived for three thousand years.

From what this person said, that old man is even older than the Taren Dynasty?
god?
However, as soon as the thought came to Ji Xun's mind, that wretched old face was imprinted in his mind. He didn't feel like a god high above him at all.

And why did he lose his memory, and why did he keep looking for the stone tablet?

Why are other old gods sealed, but he continues to walk in the long river of history?
Also, why is the mechanical angel hostile to him?

Ji Xun didn't expect that after asking the question, not only did his doubts not get resolved, but more and more questions popped up in his mind.

Light Chaser Farrow obviously knew something. His eyes that sparkled with wisdom gradually became distant. He said calmly, "I do know some historical truths that you are curious about. But unfortunately, it is meaningless for you to know them now."

Ji Xun was not surprised to hear this.

He had long known that Old Man Xu was involved in a big cause and effect.

Previously, he thought he was just a hermit who had lived for a long time. But now, after hearing the legend that he had survived from the last era, he realized that there were many questions about this old man that were difficult to explore.

As he spoke, Faro pondered for a moment, as if he had guessed what Ji Xun was thinking, and added meaningfully: "But you only need to know one thing. For the Card Master Civilization, that senior is a friend, not an enemy."

"."

After listening to this, Ji Xun didn't ask any more questions.

This sentence is enough.

Having talked about business here, it seems there is nothing more to talk about.

After all, it is an alien dimension, and the purpose is to discover hidden tasks.

However, Ji Xun was still carefully thinking about how to get something hidden from the mouth of this top NPC in front of him that would be just enough for him.

Faro spoke up first and asked, "By the way, what are your plans for coming to the other dimension this time? Although your rank is not high, your strength is good. I don't think you plan to follow the main storyline."

He paused for a moment and added lazily, "I would like to give you something. But if I give it to you, you might get into trouble."

When these words came out, Ji Xun felt like he was testing the bottom line of the will of space and jumping back and forth on the boundaries of the rules.

Even though this most powerful being knew that he was an NPC, he still seemed to be planning on having some fun.

This reminded Ji Xun of a sentence from his previous life: "Fighting against the sky, the joy is endless."

He was used to the other party's mind-reading ability, which made him less worried.

Since the other party took the initiative to ask, Ji Xun said without hesitation: "Senior, my partner and I are planning to go to the Imperial City. Do you have any suggestions?"

"You want to go to Behemoth City?"

Farrow pondered for a moment and continued, "Alduin has been completely distorted by the devil's mark. He is tyrannical and bloodthirsty. He has killed eight of the imperial city's defense commanders. If you go there now, no matter who you are, you may not be able to gain any benefit. Oh, that's right. If you have this idea, your partner should have the blood of Augustus, right? In that case, we can contact the Southern Priest."

Ji Xun nodded and waited for the next words.

The other party took into account almost everything he thought of.

Farrow continued, "There are several secret passages over at the Gosya volcano. But judging from the rebels' movements, they should have been discovered. Apart from that, we can only rely on some teleportation arrays to enter the city. However, with the divine domain of the 'Mysterious Worm Mother Karakta' covering it, any method of crossing the void to the imperial city is very dangerous."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, he frowned.

The secret passage was indeed discovered.

He had thought about using Ivan's void ability before, but since this person said so, he definitely wouldn't try it easily.

At this point, Fa Luo glanced at Ji Xun and said, "But I do have another plan. But it's a bit risky." Ji Xun said in a deep voice, "Please give me some advice, senior."

Farrow said: "I infiltrated this orc rebel army, originally wanting to find an opportunity to see if I could seal the 'Beast Blood Boiling Mutu' of the Seven Lords of the Scourge."

Hearing this, Ji Xun raised his eyebrows slightly.

really!

He guessed that this person was going for the Outer God, but he was also a little surprised. In history, it was actually him who sealed the Outer God Mutu?
And what a coincidence, the jar that sealed Mutu was right in Ji Xun's hand.

However, when Ji Xun looked at the storage space, he found that the two spell-carving pottery jars were now gray.

This is the "Special Constraint: You cannot use special items that conflict with the plot" that is prompted when you enter the space.

One of them is confirmed to be the sealed 'Beast Blood Boiling·Mutu'. Now there are four Outer Gods besieging the Imperial City, except for the Insect Mother and the Lord of War, so it can be basically confirmed that the seal in the other jar is 'Source of Corruption·Naiser'.

Ji Xun thought it was normal for unique items to conflict with each other.

Otherwise, when the jar is opened, two identical outer gods will appear in the other dimension, which would be strange.

However, Ji Xun was slightly surprised by something else.

Not only the two pottery jars were unusable, there was another item on him that was obviously unusable, and that was - [Useless Greatsword].

Ji Xun also guessed that the Useless Greatsword was in this battle and was involved in some key plots.

At the same time, I was very curious about the use of this greatsword which I had held for a long time but still didn't understand.

As his thoughts raced, Faro continued, "But it is very difficult to seal the Outer God. Mutu is very cunning and has a keen sense of perception. Any hostility towards Him will be detected. So if I go there with the intention of sealing Him, I will definitely be discovered."

"What about you?"

When Ji Xun heard this, he was also confused.

If you knew you would be discovered, why are you in this orc camp?
Farrow knew what he was wondering about and explained, "Actually, I don't know why I'm here. I just came here because I deduced that my presence here at this time would be the most reasonable and would have the least impact on the battlefield situation. I'm not here for any purpose. Now it seems that there are some other reasons."

"."

After listening to this, Ji Xun suddenly felt that his brain wasn't working properly.

I feel like this sentence could be translated as: I myself don't know why I'm here, so the enemy certainly doesn't know.

Whether you can meet him or not depends on fate.
Ji Xun couldn't keep up with the thinking at that highest level.

He looked over.

Now that this Light Chaser has spoken, there must be something I can do to help.

As Faro spoke, he suddenly took out a clay pot covered with spells and said bluntly: "I need you to help me get this pot to a specific location. Once my plan succeeds, your friends can also take advantage of the chaos to enter the imperial city."

Ji Xun looked at the familiar spell-inscribed pottery jar and his eyes twitched slightly.

But the jar is now open and empty.

At this time, Enlightenment also appeared immediately: "A-level hidden plot triggered: You need to cooperate with the Light Chaser Faro to invite you to participate in a top-secret mission. You need to put the Sealing Jar into the designated location; refuse/accept?"

When Ji Xun saw the "A" level difficulty rating of Qidi, he thought about it for a moment and agreed: "Okay!"

The difficulty of this A-level is estimated to be equivalent to the S-level in other low-level spaces.

But the difficulty of double confirmation by Space Will and Faro is definitely not completely without chance.

Seeing Ji Xun agree without hesitation, Fa Luo smiled and praised him. He also said, "Don't worry. Although there are risks, at least you won't die this time."

Although Ji Xun could accept the risk of the mission, he was also curious about why he was so sure: "Senior, why do you think I won't die?"

Faro smiled but said nothing.

Instead, he said something that seemed to have nothing to do with this mission: "Although I know the outcome of history, I still have to carry out my plan. Or maybe it's because of meeting you that some of my plans are on track."

Ji Xun didn't quite understand and gave him a puzzled look: "???"

Faro looked far away and said, "Even if this is an alien space, the laws of the universe are still intact. 'I am the World' deduces the traces left by the laws of the universe, which is a supernatural power higher than the law. I will tell you the secret that only a high-level card master can touch. When the will in your heart is strong enough, the laws of the entire universe will follow you. This is the ultimate secret of 'I am the World'."

Ji Xun listened thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he said respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Farlow disappeared just as he had come, without attracting any attention from anyone.

Peace returned to the sick and wounded tent.

It’s just that Ji Xun now has an extra card with an empty jar pattern on it.

The wounded around were all asleep, and Ji Xun was also lying on the bed, thinking about the previous conversation.

It seemed that Falo's words did not convey any secret techniques, but when Ji Xun thought about it, he found that there was mystery everywhere.

From the beginning to the time he left, every movement and every word of that person seemed to be in perfect harmony with the rules of the universe.

Ji Xun knew that this was the "domain" formed by "I am the world", but it was obvious that the other party was more capable.

Every word of those suggestions hits the key point.

Ji Xun's thoughts were suddenly opened up.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, the marching horn sounded early in the morning.

Although the only city of the Taren Dynasty that remained unconquered was Behemoth, the imperial capital was not easy to capture because it had countless prohibitions and barriers and was garrisoned by the empire's last elite troops.

This is a protracted battle.

The army was besieging the city, and there were troops attacking and harassing the city almost every moment.

Ji Xun also followed the main force.

In the dense forest, orcs of all shapes and sizes were marching aggressively towards the imperial city.

The legion is full of orcs who have been polluted by the Outer God Mutu. Most of them have been completely transformed into beasts, or half-beasts, and their intelligence is not high.

No one cares what's special about Ji Xun in the team.

The army of tens of thousands of people marched without any rules, and then after joining forces with several other teams, they gathered into a mighty force of hundreds of thousands.

The closer they got to the imperial capital Behemoth, the louder the noises of the battle became.

The sky is filled with colorful elemental clouds, like festive fireworks, endless.

Ji Xun's team is located at the back and is not the main force for today's siege.

It's quite leisurely.

He walked along, carrying the jar with him, trying to find an opportunity to follow Faro's plan as closely as possible and get close to the main camp of the Orc Legion.

But unexpectedly, without any warning, there was a loud bang like thunder in the sky above, and a horrible black light suddenly exploded.

Then, all kinds of fragments fell like meteorites.

Before I could see clearly what happened, Enlightenment appeared again: "B-level hidden opportunity plot triggered: The mechanical angel descended on the battlefield, trying to kill the human traitor who stole the space source stone, but he was also besieged by the rebel masters, and his alloy body was seriously damaged; you need to collect the mechanical armor fragments scattered around the battlefield."

The moment Ji Xun saw the enlightenment, he realized that the black light just now was the annihilation beam of the mechanical angel.

At the same time, he also captured some key information from the enlightenment: 1. The human defectors are nearby; 2. There are fragments of mechanical angels to pick up!
