Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 788 - 752: Has Xuanyuan Yangguang Returned?

"Let’s go, let’s take a look over there!" Having finally discovered a clue, Jiang Yuan accelerated his speed with sword flight.

Yuan Man followed closely and stopped mid-air, looking down to find nothing but endless yellow sand. She curiously asked, "Mr. Jiang, did you find something?"

"The landmark indicates an oasis ten miles around here. From the terrain, if the landmark wasn’t moved, it should be here." He descended to examine carefully, yet amidst the rolling yellow sand, nothing suggested there had ever been an oasis.

"Let me give it a try." Yuan Man flicked her fingers, throwing out several small brown balls. Supported by her vast spiritual power, they took root and sprouted deep into the sandy ground, despite the scorching yellow sand everywhere.

"Ssshhh!"

A few moments later, the sand flipped as countless dead vines stretched up from below, gradually transporting the upper-layer sand out of the pit, soon revealing some chaotic stones and dried wood beneath.

[Crushed Stones: Brought from the Otherworld and laid near the water stones, these pebbles originally brimmed with water energy, supported by an array, with the water stones and pebbles ensuring the oasis had just the right amount of water.

Several hundred years ago, the array was damaged by the beast tamer, Chu Huai’an, and the water stones were taken away. Without energy support, the water energy was depleted, forming these crushed stones.]

[Remnants of the Water-resting Tree: The Water-resting Tree, personally planted by Xuanyuan Yangguang, combined with an array, created a cool oasis that could block off extreme heat in the desert. It was destroyed by the beast tamer, Chu Huai’an, leaving only debris.]

"Here is where the oasis once was." Jiang Yuan, having seen the detailed analysis, felt a surge of anger in his heart.

The landmark destroyed, the oasis too; Chu Huai’an never intended to leave a way out for cultivators who wandered into this place!

The system map comes with directions, and the current location is northwest of the remaining landmark.

The landmark directs you to the sand castle, opposite to the Sealed Land, with oases along the way for rest; according to the southeast-northwest corresponding attributes, to suppress the Black Tortoise, it should be placed directly south opposite to it!

"City Lord Yuan, would you like to see the fierce beast being suppressed over there?" After analyzing, he explained: "If I’m not mistaken, heading northwards along the oasis should lead us to the rumored sand castle with a teleportation array. But if we keep heading south, we should find the suppressed fierce beast." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Yuan Man was curious about how he deduced so much information, but among cultivators, it’s taboo to ask prying questions. Everyone has their trump cards, and it’s rude to ask if they don’t mention it themselves.

"What do you plan to do?" Her intention was indeed to leave this strange place as soon as possible. After all, if the suppressed beast was truly that formidable, getting close without caution could be deadly.

But in the vast desert, it’s hard to discern direction. The landmark was destroyed, and without his company, she might lose her bearings amidst chaotic and rampant energy after flying for a while.

So, she had to ask for his opinion.

Jiang Yuan said without hesitation, "Since we’re here, I’d like to see what that fierce beast looks like."

After all, the little cloud sparrow, being a bound contract pet, can be withdrawn into the pet slot at any time. In case of any impact, he also has the resurrection talisman as a safeguard.

Such a great opportunity, not seeing the fierce beast suppressed by Xuanyuan Yangguang would make this long flight in the desert in vain, wouldn’t it?

"Then... I’ll go with you." Yuan Man thought that, worst case, she could choose not to enter the Sealed Land; if they couldn’t defeat it, they could at least escape? Making marks along the way could provide some reference later!

Finally determining the direction, Jiang Yuan did not stop to eat or rest this time and continued south according to the system map.

By mid-afternoon, amidst the monotonous desert scenery, a splash of brightness finally appeared — a towering red structure emerged on the horizon.

"It looks strange, so slender and tall, but not quite like a tower." Yuan Man perked up fully, yet she didn’t sense any unusual aura.

The entire structure was filled with a sense of fantasy, with a conical base layered at the bottom, and upwards it seemed to be made of reflective, glass-like material, forming an increasingly thin flame-shaped body towering into the sky.

The top reached into the cloud sea, unfurling a massive circular array atop the clouds.

The golden-red array, composed of countless runes, rotated slowly, flickering on and off, enveloping the entire structure in a layer of exquisite mystery.

"Let’s get a little closer and take a look; somehow I don’t think this looks like a seal?" Jiang Yuan didn’t understand cultivation immortality, even less the arrays, but he just felt that this distinct style seemed different from what he encountered before.

The distance was too far; they had to get closer to see the identification details.

After flying for a while longer with sword, as they drew nearer to the peculiar and magnificent structure, the details became more striking and breathtaking. The view was suddenly filled with pop-up messages across the "screen."

[Special Quest: Vermilion Bird]

[Since the invasion of this world by the demon race, many negative forces, such as violence, bloodthirst, and resentment, have pervaded the land, causing countless after-effects.

To ward off the pollution by the Outer Heaven Demon that followed, the Four Symbols Divine Beast guarding this world gradually fell, leaving only the severely injured Vermilion Bird holding on, preventing this small world from completely falling into corruption.

The power of the Three Divine Beasts that fell returned to the earth, waiting to coalesce into new spirits, ascending once more as new divine beasts to protect this world.

However, the demon race, through cunning schemes, expelled the human race, spreading greed, slaughter, and self-destruction, tainting the atmosphere of the world, causing the newborn spirits to harbor selfish motives and devolve into demons, seeking pleasure and unable to ascend.

Until life was cut off, the world, which should have crumbled with heaven and earth collapsing, was supported alone by the Divine Beast Vermilion Bird, who was gravely injured and powerless to reverse the situation.
