Quest Requirement: Go through the Cemetery Building to help Zhu Family Town resolve their troubling issues.

Quest Reward: Magical Treasure Divine Box

——

’Quest Complete: Obtained the Magical Treasure Divine Box’

Sun Yan lifted his hand and suddenly held a well-crafted box, even without opening it, he could feel the powerful aura within.

It must be a powerful magical treasure.

"The quest is complete, and I have obtained what I needed. It’s time for me to leave," Sun Yan thought to himself.

He paid no mind to Zhu Xiongcai’s attempts at making a friendly connection.

He did not belong to this era and had no need to build relationships with anyone.

Leaving the temple, Sun Yan vanished from Zhu Xiongcai’s view with a few leaps, disappearing without a trace.

Zhu Xiongcai sighed regretfully, "Alas, it’s truly a pity. If I could have formed a good relationship with Mr. Sun, our Zhu Family would have a steadfast protector in this chaotic Divine Land."

...

In the midst of the mist, Sun Yan’s figure stepped out confidently, and upon seeing the Abandoned Church, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even in his current guise of being partially dirtied, he felt a slight unease while in the mist. Only when near the range of the Cemetery Building could he feel truly safe.

Perhaps only when he is completely dirtied and becomes an Immortal will he have the ability to explore what lies deep within the mist.

Returning to the main house of the Graveyard, Sun Yan rushed into the offering room and handed the Fire-tipped Spear to the Divine Statue of the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God.

The Fire-tipped Spear instantly merged into the interior of the Divine Statue.

The originally plain and unadorned statue reacted in that moment, its two eyes blinking.

Clearly, the quality of the Divine Statue of the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God had been enhanced.

"You little one, your means of finding Holy Relics are indeed impressive. It’s a pity I can’t sense the other magical treasures, otherwise, I’d have you go out and find more for me, so I could take on the Three Eyes again once I reclaim all the Holy Relics."

The incarnation of the Monkey King appeared, standing beside Sun Yan, and praised him gratifiedly.

"Something’s wrong." The incarnation of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao appeared promptly, saying seriously.

"Indeed, even I feel there’s something off about his speed in finding Holy Relics," the Monkey King nodded, agreeing, which was rare, aligning his thoughts with the Three Eyes.

"Foolish monkey, I’m saying something’s off with him encountering the White Crane Child this time."

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao snorted coldly, "Back then... back then all Immortals who met extinction met extinction, those who left left, the remaining Dao Lineage coupled with the current Spiritual Qi of this world is simply insufficient to foster a cultivation heritage, it’s impossible for anyone to obtain the flesh and blood of the White Crane Child and recreate an Immortal puppet,

this matter is truly strange unless there were Immortals who did not completely perish back then and survived by chance; otherwise, no one could accomplish this. If he discovers the flesh and blood of those long-gone Immortals, the consequences would be terrifying..."

The Monkey King was stunned, for a moment, even ignoring how the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao addressed him, he hurriedly exclaimed, "White Crane Child? Wasn’t that guy long gone? How could there be any flesh and blood remaining?"

"It’s the Queen Mother of the West," Sun Yan spoke up.

Instantly, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao and the Monkey King fell silent, their expressions somewhat peculiar.

"She’s still alive? Impossible."

"How the Kunlun Jasper Pool turned out back then, indeed no one saw with their own eyes. Our departure doesn’t mean the Queen Mother would also leave. As the oldest Immortal, she knows more than any of us, perhaps she knows how to avoid disaster too."

"What do we do now?"

Sun Yan listened to the exchange between the two Great Gods, a bit puzzled. It seemed that these two Great Gods were quite apprehensive of the Queen Mother of the West.

"It’s unrelated to us. We’re merely incarnations, after all, no need to dwell so much. If the Queen Mother of the West truly remains with any plan, how could it involve us?"

The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao glanced at Sun Yan, "Whether fortune or disaster, one cannot avoid it, go with the flow. You need not worry too much. As long as we’re here, you will be safe."

...

Eastern Continent, a certain village.

As a village hidden deep within the mountains, with no water or electricity supply, and not even having a road worthy of being called a road out of the mountains,

this is undoubtedly a very bizarre occurrence in this era.

Lin Wan, Shi Langfei, and Gu Xing leaped down from a helicopter, landing steadily at the entrance of the village.

At the appearance of the three outsiders, plus the suspended "iron bird" in the sky, they instantly caught the attention of all the villagers.

The adults armed themselves with hoes and shovels in preparation, while the young children, out of curiosity, ran over from within the village to curiously examine the three people dressed in sports and outdoor gear.

To them, Lin Wan and the others were no less than visitors from another world.

"Lin Wan, is this the secret you discovered?"

Looking at the ancient-like village in front of them, Shi Langfei couldn’t help but ask in wonder.

"Exactly, there can be no mistake. Over the years, Tomb Guardians often die from accidents, and the reason behind it lies here. Someone is secretly targeting the Tomb Guardians, though we don’t know their intentions or goals. But as members of the Grand Sacrificial Society, now that we know, we cannot allow this to continue."

Lin Wan earnestly said, taking out a spatula.

Shi Langfei chuckled, "I really admire your inexplicable sense of justice. Because we’re friends, otherwise I wouldn’t have come all this way with you for this. It’s a pity I forgot to get Sun Yan’s contact information last time, or else bringing him along would make it even safer this time."

Gu Xing looked around seriously and said, "Be careful, no joking around. I have a bad feeling, and since you mentioned those who hunt Tomb Guardians are here, their strength must be considerable. We can’t afford to be careless, otherwise, if we die here, the truth will remain unknown to anyone."

Lin Wan said, "Don’t worry, I’ve already made all the necessary preparations. Although there are only three of us, if I give the signal, we can receive support in 10 seconds. It’s absolutely safe. Since I’ve brought you two along to help, I won’t let anything happen to you easily."

"I hope so," Gu Xing thought to himself.

Although he didn’t want to embarrass Lin Wan, he couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling deep down.

He hoped Lin Wan’s arrangements were truly effective.

As the three of them entered the village, they were quickly surrounded by the villagers, who dressed like folk from the pre-Qin period, with extremely unusual hairstyles.

Just as Lin Wan was about to speak, the crowd suddenly went quiet, then everyone knelt to the ground. From the depths of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a goatee approached slowly.

With a serene and benevolent smile, he looked at Lin Wan and the others, and said warmly, "I never thought that after so many years, Tomb Guardians would once again grace us with their presence. I am Xu Fu, may I ask the names of you three young friends?"
