Episode 75

  Insufficiently guarding the stone slab, anxious thoughts about taking the method of obtaining the slab. Suddenly, a loud and urgent warning shout came from the great hall.

  "Master, several old immortals from the Easy Repair Gate have come to attack!"

  "Young master, an unknown cultivator is attacking from the north!"

  "Young master, the demon clan is attacking from the muddy waters!"

  "Alright! Are there still several caves that haven't been searched yet?"

  "Master, there's only one broken cave left on that side that hasn't been explored yet!"

  "Alright! It's too late, retreat!"

  The crowd let out a collective roar, and the cultivators from all directions gathered in one place. Just as they were about to take their seats, a figure suddenly appeared and disappeared into thin air. The insufficient cultivator quickly rushed back to the secret cave, picked up the broken stone slab, and put it in his storage bag. He then turned around and entered the last broken hole, only to find that it was empty. There was only a small earthen platform with some broken instruments on it. Insufficient let out a sigh, put them in his storage bag, and exited. Just as he was about to leave the cave, he sensed a strong surge of spiritual energy from outside. Insufficient retreated and saw that the hidden insect cave's formation array was still there, so he directly entered it and threw a large energy stone into the formation. The formation fluctuated violently, and with a loud "whooshing" sound, insufficient suddenly disappeared. At this time, the cultivators outside had just rushed in, and those with sharp eyes also caught a glimpse of insufficient's figure.

  "Hurry up and occupy the ant hole to transfer the main array!"

  "Never mind, let's just force our way in. If they break formation, what can we do?"

  "Alas! I say to you all, we've come a step too late! The treasure here has been snatched away by the Hidden Repairers! We'll return empty-handed! How infuriating!"

  "How can one who does not know the master of turbid waters know whether he is a recluse or someone else?"

  "Hum! This place is a small island in the vast ocean of my muddy water, and I have divined it clearly with my spiritual powers!"

  "What the Sea Master said is correct, this formation technique is indeed a unique skill of the Hidden Repair sect, and other sects do not have such a method!"

  "Hum! Hum hum! Secluded cultivation! Kill my several disciples, and expose them in the execution ground to show! Insult the dignity of my Great Immortal Island! My Great Immortal Island will not forgive you!"

  When the body is in a wormhole-like state, its internal divine energy suddenly becomes like an unbridled wild horse, emitting chaotic and disorderly flows of time and space!

  "Good heavens! He wants to destroy our formation and kill someone! What can be done about it?"

  Insufficient urgency will make the divine realm operate as one, and the mysterious heaven and earth energy mechanism layer by layer falls to protect oneself.

  In the vast expanse of thousands of miles and ten thousand feet high, a sudden loud noise echoed through space, opening up a rift in the darkness. A burst of powerful divine energy gushed out, sending a person flying like a bubble. But that bubble was still intact, and the person inside was not enough. Not enough like a giant stone being thrown down from thousands of feet high into the water! The massive impact force shook even the strong and sturdy flesh, causing bones to crack and the person to faint and fall unconscious!

  After a long time, in the turbid sea of water, a bamboo-like thing slowly rose up section by section, standing on the surface of the water.

  "Slap"

  He slapped him hard in the face.

  "Oh no! So painful! Huh? Someone hasn't died yet! Oh no, oh no! Someone hasn't died yet! Someone hasn't died yet! Wahahahaha......"

  The man burst out laughing loudly, this is indeed the insufficiency of being reborn after a calamity! After laughing for a while, his voice gradually subsided. His face full of deep thought, as if there was something important, quietly settled down.

  "This mysterious aura of heaven and earth, even my grandfather has never spoken of it, he must be ignorant of it!"

  Even his ancestors did not know, it is unbearable in my heart, greatly shocking.

  "Is it only known to a certain person? Isn't this a unique divine power?! Alas! What should this thing be called? It permeates the heavens and earth, entering every seam, from the void of insect holes to the depths of the ocean, seemingly omnipresent and omniscient! Different from the divine realm's recognition of gods, different from the primordial spirit's primordial power, vastly different from the heavenly and earthly primordial powers, yet not similar to the five elements' mighty abilities! Brutal force cannot destroy it, divine power cannot shake it! It can conceal the recognizing spirit and sense it, transform external objects into myriad forms to deceive the six senses' perceptions! Emerging from water and fire without being tainted! Like the origin of all things, governing the existence of all things... If I can comprehend its principle again someday, I will surely astonish people! However, if I tell others about it, they will definitely laugh at me for being foolish! Let's just call it 'Primordial Origin Power' instead! Alas! This Primordial Origin Power is wonderful, but unfortunately, it can only be obtained occasionally and cannot be done at will."

  After thinking for a long time, I suddenly thought of Chang'er.

  "I wonder what has become of that little girl? But her mysterious and overcast body must have been obtained by the majority of senior brothers, in this way there will be no great danger!"

  Then he changed direction and headed towards the island of burial. Along the way, he took out the things he had obtained on the unnamed island to examine them. However, there was only a clay altar and a broken stone slab! It wasn't enough to hold the altar in his hand, turning it over and over again to examine it, but there was no mysterious or unusual place. It was like a toy sold at a street corner in the mortal world. There were several faintly visible symbols carved on it, which seemed to be scribbled randomly by a child. It wasn't enough to try to sense any divine energy within it, but rather just passed through, as if there was no obstacle.

  "What's that? Just a piece of junk, yet someone treasures it like a precious gem! However, its appearance is quite unique, perhaps Chang'er might like it too."

  He casually tossed it back into the pouch, but took out that broken stone slab instead. This thing is not bad after all! When I first saw it, I saw that the ancient carvings on it were simple and far-reaching, with a hint of an ancient aura. The three ancient characters, although dull and unremarkable, had not been completely worn away! It's just that the dirt and grime on it obscured it, making it impossible to discern. This is indeed an ancient object, and the characters are still intact! I was so shocked by this that I anxiously stared at it intently. How laughable that the young master of the hidden sect didn't recognize this object, and actually put it back into his pouch! At this time, I carefully examined the characters on it, but couldn't recognize them! In his youth, he followed his ancestors to learn the ancient immortal script, with his ancestors' profound knowledge and broad family learning. So, he thought that what he had learned was vast and extensive, but now he didn't even recognize this character!

  "This object is probably from the early days of ancient times!"

  The division of the Xianjing era is quite rough, but it's roughly like this! Generally, it's based on astonishing numbers. The nearest year since the beginning of the ten thousand years is divided into near ancient, middle ancient, upper ancient, far ancient, too ancient, barbaric, heaven and earth just formed, and chaos. The length of each dynasty is different, with the near ancient being around 100,000 years, the middle ancient being over a million years, the upper ancient being over ten million years, the far ancient being over a hundred million years, the too ancient being over a billion years, the barbaric being over ten billion years, and the heaven and earth just formed being over a hundred billion years. The number of chaos has already reached an extreme and cannot be measured!

  The insufficient historian is the ancestor of the past ten thousand years, and the family learning has been passed down continuously. If it weren't for the changes in the Ghost Valley, the inheritance would have continued uninterrupted for ten thousand years. Therefore, the strange books of the immortal family are even more renowned than the ancient continent's most prestigious Buddhist temple. The ancient texts and talismans taught to the descendants of the clan are a testament to their profound accumulation. As for what is known about the insufficient historian, it roughly dates back to the end of the ancient era. At that time, they didn't recognize the symbols, so it can be inferred that they should have appeared at the beginning or slightly later than the ancient era.

  The insufficient edge moves on the turbid water surface, and with a sharp blade, it removes the dirt from the three characters above. First, one character appears clearly, which is the word "big". The second one is the word "house", and the last one is the word "secret". After this effort, all the characters appear, and the three ancient words "Big House Secret" are simple and casual, like a child's scribble. Insufficient to observe carefully again, there is nothing else!

  "Could it be that he has obtained a famous manual?"

  Insufficient to recall the ancient jade book, divine writings on stone tablets, where the characters' meanings are often hidden within. It's a method of carving and polishing the surface with spiritual awareness, but at that time, it was not yet possible to read them, only after his ancestors had deciphered them later! Then, he carefully operated the spiritual realm to penetrate inside, but unexpectedly found himself blocked by a grand forbidden array! Ah! Inside is indeed a grand forbidden array, not a small one! Insufficiently astonishing, such a small stone slab can actually contain a grand array! I wonder how those who cultivate in secret can set up the mighty Vajra demonic subduing grand array within a thousand-meter radius, already having achieved it! And this array's power far surpasses that! Who knows how they managed to set it up?

  Insufficient exploration was blocked, reluctantly withdrew, but did not lose hope! What's the reason? There must be a way out! So the insufficient one put it back in the law bag and walked on the waves.

  Chang Er was extremely anxious at this time! Her divine sense had been insufficient, and she had unexpectedly encountered a mysterious expert who had inspected her, so she had no choice but to withdraw her spirit and return. When she came out again, she couldn't find any trace of the insufficiency! Chang Er's shock far exceeded that of an ordinary cultivator. Why was this? Her cultivation in crossing the tribulation had been suppressed and not released, yet the realm existed! She searched for the insufficiency but didn't see it - how could this be possible?! Thinking about it again and again, she resolutely took out her original body's hairpin and searched throughout the turbid waters of the sea! By now, it was almost a month until the promotion trial.

  "It can't be that I've fallen into evil hands!"

  "Oh no! It can't be! The insufficient warning, nobody passed on the right! But......"

  "Unable to get any news, even if I have to go through hardships and difficulties, I must find him out!"

  Chang'er had reached the point of desperation! At that time, she was on the Burial Island of Demons, and her true body's hairpin was still searching everywhere but couldn't be found in the murky waters. On the island, over a dozen successful disciples of the Easy-to-Enter Sect were killing off the lucky survivors who had managed to reach the shore. According to the sect rules, as long as they hadn't reached the shore and were still in the water, they didn't count as having successfully landed on the island and could be killed! At this time, those who wanted to get on the island were all frantic, desperately charging forward, while the ones intercepting them were a group of people ganging up on one cultivator, killing with extreme ferocity!

  Chang'er was already sitting upright on a rocky peak, sighing softly as she slowly closed her eyes. Her hands also slowly rose, as if grasping a great mountain with an unspeakable heaviness! Her beautiful jade mouth slightly opened, as if about to utter a sound.

  At that time, the people on the island had no idea that a great disaster was approaching! The catastrophe of crossing the calamity destroyed all directions!
