CHAPTER 352: ERASED

"Sit down." The masked person beside Jingyu instructed.

Shen Xu originally thought the person was human, but Zhen Yuan discovered that he was a puppet.

That said, the double wasn’t surprised since the puppets his father prepared for him were lifelike.

If he weren’t their owner or if Zhen Yuan couldn’t see their laws, Shen Xu would undoubtedly confuse them for human cultivators.

"You don’t seem surprised to see my true form." Jingyu stated, and Shen Xu chuckled but didn’t say anything.

After all, an explanation would reveal Zhen Yuan’s secrets, but this was something that Shen Xu was unwilling to do.

Seeing that the double was unwilling to answer, Jingyu glanced at Zhen Yuan but eventually sighed and didn’t say more.

"I..." She started, but Yang Shi suddenly interrupted.

"How will we know that the technique has worked?" He asked, and Jingyu snorted.

’Can my technique fail?’ She wondered, but still answered the question.

"Take out all your communication jades." She said, and everyone did so.

In fact, only Shen Xu, Li Wenqiang, and Feng Xue had communication jades.

As for Yang Shi and Zhen Yuan, the former rarely communicated with anyone outside their group, while the latter relied on the double to connect with others.

"The communication jades will disappear after the technique takes effect." Jingyu said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu looked at his communication jades with a complicated expression.

Each set of communication jades was divided into one parent and numerous children.

The parent jade was the receiver while the children were the transmitters.

Based on this relationship, cultivators usually exchanged children jade for communication purposes.

Whenever they wanted to communicate, they would send a message using the recipient’s child jade, and the message would be received by the recipient’s parent jade.

Shen Xu had one parent jade and more than three hundred children jade.

At a glance, fifty or so children jades were his and hadn’t been given away for the time being, while the remaining were other people’s child jades.

"I didn’t realise I had exchanged so many communication jades." He muttered, looking around.

Li Wenqiang had eighty, and Feng Xue had more than five thousand.

However, this was expected.

After all, Feng Xue had lived for more than eight hundred thousand years.

At this time, a sigh filled the room, and everyone turned to look at Jingyu.

"Young master, I will be gone by the time you wake up." She said, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Wake up?" He asked.

"You don’t think this kind of technique won’t affect you?" Jingyu asked in a teasing voice, but soon continued.

"Don’t worry, it will only exhaust you but won’t harm you." She assured, but Shen Xu still turned to look at Zhen Yuan with uncertain eyes.

[I don’t sense any malicious intent.] The man transmitted, and Shen Xu nodded.

As if waiting for this cue, the mirror glowed, and a purple light fell on Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan, Yang Shi, Feng Xue, and Li Wenqiang.

Simultaneously, an invisible wave swept through the universe, but the force was so fast that no one could grasp it.

A moment later, the mirror dulled, a space channel appeared, and a masked puppet holding the mirror was pulled inside before the channel disappeared.

One month later, the five slowly opened their eyes and looked around.

They first noticed that Jingyu and the masked man were gone, but this was expected.

Less than a breath later, Shen Xu looked down and saw only three communication jades on his side of the table.

"One for Zhang Ji, and the other two for the Dongfang couple. Xiao Weimin’s and Zhu Huang’s communication jades are also gone." He muttered and suddenly burst into laughter.

[Ayuan, it seems Xiao Weimin’s protagonist halo and Zhu Huang’s cannon fodder counterattack system are not omnipotent.] He excitedly transmitted.

[Mmh.] Zhen Yuan nodded and rubbed the double’s hair with a doting expression.

"Is the ship okay?" Feng Xue suddenly asked, and everyone exchanged a glance before hurriedly leaving the room.

They arrived in the navigation room thirty breaths later.

"How is the ship?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the puppet.

"Master, everything is normal. We are still on course, and if nothing unexpected happens, we will arrive in the Tianxuan continent in twenty years." The puppet said, and several people sighed in relief.

"What about the guests?"

"They are all in their rooms."

Shen Xu nodded when he heard this, and after issuing some instructions, the group returned to the private sitting room and soon entered the space.

"We have six hundred space years. What’s your plan?" The double asked, looking at the others.

Feng Xue was the first to answer with a solemn expression.

"My cultivation was at the peak of the tribulation transcending realm when I left the Tianxuan sect. I must at least be at the early stage of the tribulation transcending realm before I return." She said, and everyone understood.

After all, Feng Xue’s status would determine their treatment when they went to the sect.

"The phoenix treasures should be enough to advance to the tribulation transcending realm." Shen Xu stated, and Feng Xue nodded.

"Master, I also want to advance my qi cultivation." Yang Shi said.

"You have the demon qi dark element spiritual water, dark spirit stones vein, and other treasures. You should also be able to become a level nine cultivator in no time."

"What about time?" Li Wenqiang asked.

After all, they would arrive in the Tianxuan in twenty years.

"The three of you can enter seclusion without worry. Ayuan and I will find a place to temporarily settle down when we arrive in the Tianxuan continent." Shen Xu said, and Li Wenqiang frowned.

"Don’t you need to retreat?" He asked.

"We will retreat, but not for qi cultivation. Six hundred years are just enough to advance our soul cultivation." Shen Xu said.

He and Zhen Yuan had long discussed this matter.

After all, they didn’t want to leave their first settlement on the Tianxuan continent to the puppets.

Since everyone was satisfied with this solution, the group settled down to eat and drink.

However, after resting for three days, Shen Xu distributed the resources that needed to be shared, and everyone went to their usual retreat place.

.....

In a courtyard in the Tianqi continent, Xiao Weimin, Zhu Huang, Bai Guo, and others exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Aunt, everything is ready. We can leave at any time." Bai Guo said, and Bai Qing nodded.

The following morning, the group boarded a level eight ship and left the Tianqi continent, completely forgetting the few people they had been waiting for.
