CHAPTER 320: "AI’AI AND THE HEART OF WU MENG"

"What?! The Divine Race actually agreed!"

At this moment, deep within the Fallen Sword Abyss, Wang Xu, who was carefully studying that awe-inspiring woman, suddenly exclaimed in shock.

In the Imperial Palace, aside from cultivation, all Wang Xu did was cultivate, so he specifically left a clone to accompany Ai’ai and protect her.

Just now, the clone relayed the message back that the Divine Race and Wu Meng had reached a final agreement, permitting the Wu Meng Warriors to enter the Divine Race Imperial Palace to search!

Wang Xu’s face suddenly turned grim.

Ai’ai is currently inside the Imperial Palace. It won’t take three days, just half a day, for the three highest leaders to easily find Ai’ai.

Having control over Ai’ai means grasping the Heart of Wu Meng, holding the entire Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos in their palm. By then, just a casual search would easily find Wang Xu’s whereabouts, and he could be killed effortlessly!

"What’s wrong?" Fen You asked, "Could it be something happened with the Heart of Wu Meng?"

"It’s the people of Wu Meng," Wang Xu said. "They have tracked to the foreign race’s Imperial Palace and reached an agreement with the foreign race. Now they’ve entered the palace and are searching extensively. I’m afraid before long, Ai’ai’s identity will be exposed."

Fen You, having heard this, also furrowed his brows.

Ai’ai is the prokaryote of the Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos. Controlling her is equivalent to controlling the entire Wu Meng Sacred Cosmos. By then, no matter whose figure it is, no matter where they are, they won’t be able to escape. In this way, Wang Xu is in danger.

"Stay calm. We don’t have time to deal with the matters within the foreign race’s Imperial Palace. Whether Ai’ai is found or your location is traced, our most important task now is to figure out the origins of this woman. I have a hunch that perhaps she can help us out of this predicament," Fen You said calmly.

Wang Xu took a deep breath, as Fen You said, there’s no use panicking now; what’s meant to come will come sooner or later. It’s better to find a glimmer of hope in this awe-inspiring woman.

"Fen You, have you discovered anything?" Wang Xu and the others had been studying for a long time, discovering that apart from having no breath, this awe-inspiring woman was identical to a real human. Moreover, when Wang Xu lightly grazed the woman’s skin with a sword body fragment, her skin was unscathed. This showed that the woman’s physical body had reached a terrifying level of strength.

Fen You tried to study and analyze with his accumulated experience over long years, but in the end, had to shake his head, completely clueless.

Despite his vast experience, he had never encountered such a peculiar situation.

The woman’s physical body was robust, surely a super strong figure when alive. But generally, the corpse of such a strong figure, after death and losing control, would exude a terrifying pressure, preventing other living beings from approaching. Yet, this didn’t manifest on her, as if she were an ordinary human, without any breath.

From the exterior, the woman seemed alive, with a perfect physical body, only lacking that trace of life.

Wang Xu used spiritual consciousness, secret technique attacks, even pouring down endless fire, but the woman remained unmoved, not even her clothing showed any damage.

What kind of existence is she?

Fen You extended his hand, gently touching the smooth forehead of the woman.

"No response," Fen You shook his head. Then he touched her rosy cheeks, smooth and delicate hand back, and her pale, flawless calf... he could feel the body temperature, but couldn’t detect a trace of life.

"Wang Xu, try it," Fen You said. Wang Xu didn’t think much about it. In his view, it was the same no matter who touched it; this beautiful shell wouldn’t change.

Wang Xu leaned down, gently extended his hand, slowly placing it on the woman’s smooth forehead.

A silence ensued, without any response.

"This method doesn’t work," Wang Xu shook his head, proving that touching had no effect.

But when he was about to withdraw his hand, he was horrified to find that his hand seemed stuck to her forehead, unable to move!

"This..." Wang Xu was about to ask Fen You when suddenly his vision went black, and his soul consciousness detached from his body, seeping into the woman’s body through his fingertips!

"Wang Xu!"

Fen You noticed Wang Xu’s condition, but by the time he reacted, Wang Xu’s body was stiff, eyes vacant, just like a soulless shell with its consciousness crushed.

In other words, Wang Xu was now merely an empty shell with a Celestial God Realm physique, though abundant with life force, but without any self-awareness.

......

"Where is this..."

Wang Xu seemed to be standing at the intersection of multiple worlds, surrounded by different images, different scenes, different people, and content. Wang Xu stood at the crossover of all these memories, looking on in puzzlement.

Wang Xu saw, in one picture, an ordinary woman who, from birth, had a fate different from others. The moment she was born, her parents, the midwife, and everyone else in the village inexplicably died, leaving only her as a newborn baby, quietly lying in bed, growing up bit by bit.

When she grew up, she gained wisdom and wanted to go to other places. But whoever touched her would become an idiot and lose their mind, which led to criticism and discrimination against her. She lived a lonely life, eventually lying alone in a cave during a cold winter, gradually losing body heat...

Another picture depicted a male infant who also caused the death of all those around him at birth. He survived alone, and no matter where he went, whoever touched him would instantly become an idiot and lose their mind. People saw him as a monster and shot him dead with an arrow...

The third picture was different. A female infant was born without the tragedies of the prior cases and was at the Void Level from birth, possessing exceptionally high cultivation talent. Thus, she was chosen and trained by a powerful force. However, at that time, she discovered to her horror that her cultivation could not advance, no matter what methods she tried or how many nutritional supplements she consumed.

Eventually, she was abandoned and returned to her family, only to find it destroyed by enemies and reduced to ruins. Just as she returned to her hometown, she was killed, her body decapitated...

Each tragic story ended in painful outcomes.

......

While Wang Xu was in this inexplicable world, a search was in full swing in the Divine Race Imperial Palace.

The three highest leaders and a group of Wu Meng Warriors under their command moved quickly through the Divine Race Imperial Palace, seeking any sign of Ai’ai.

In the Divine Race Imperial Palace, using spiritual consciousness to probe was forbidden. This rule had already entered into the law contract of the palace. Although the people from Wu Meng were there to search, they had to abide by this rule and naturally became part of the law contract.

Without the help of spiritual consciousness, the search conducted by the Wu Meng Warriors became increasingly difficult and slow. After all, the entire Divine Race Imperial Palace spanned several light-years, and although the residences occupied less than a tenth, searching every corner in a mere three days was impossible.

"Did you find it, Ci Xu?" The Hall Master of the Void Hall and the Palace Master of the Annihilation Palace did not act but instead watched the silently contemplative Mansion Master of Star Piercing Mansion standing with closed eyes.

The Mansion Master of Star Piercing, a Wu Meng Mage, was most skilled in spiritual consciousness. Even with the constraints of the laws, he still had ways to use spiritual consciousness to search the Divine Race Imperial Palace, albeit at a slower pace than before.

"Have patience." The Mansion Master of Star Piercing whispered softly, and the two others found it inappropriate to push further.

They understood that solely relying on the Wu Meng Warriors would make searching the entire Divine Race Imperial Palace within three days impossible. All hopes rested on the Mansion Master of Star Piercing.

About a day and a half later, the Mansion Master of Star Piercing opened his eyes sharply!

"Found it!" His words lit up the eyes of the Void Hall Master and the Annihilation Palace Master, while the supervising Divine Race experts frowned.

Could there really be some Wu Meng treasure hidden in the Divine Race Imperial Palace?

The Mansion Master of Star Piercing strode forward instantly, with the Void Hall Master and Annihilation Palace Master following closely. The numerous Divine Race experts were not left behind, immediately pursuing as well.

Moments later.

Bang!

The Mansion Master of Star Piercing waved his hand, causing a small palace mansion two kilometers in circumference to collapse suddenly, turning into scattered debris and revealing two figures, one large and one small.

The two figures were none other than the deathly pale clone of Wang Xu and a terrified Ai’ai clinging tightly to the clone’s clothes, hiding behind him.

"It’s her!"

"Finally found her!"

"Yes, it’s her!"

The three top leaders could not contain their excitement at the sight of Ai’ai.

"She’s mine!" The Mansion Master of Star Piercing acted immediately, intending to take Ai’ai into his Divine Country, but found no reaction.

"Damn it, Ci Xu, you broke your word!" The Void Hall Master and Annihilation Palace Master reacted, shouting angrily.

The Mansion Master of Star Piercing ignored them. If she couldn’t be taken into the Divine Country, he would simply carry her away!

He took a step forward, reaching out to grab Ai’ai, but the Void Hall Master and Annihilation Palace Master had already taken action. They would not let the Heart of Wu Meng fall into others’ hands.

Thus, a fierce battle among the three was about to erupt! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, feel free to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), as your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
