Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 909 - 808: What a Grand Game of Chess!

"Danger?" Yuan Man waved her hand with a smile and said, "Pursuing the path of cultivation and seeking the Dao, I've never feared danger.

Moreover, dealing with the strange is the responsibility of all cultivators! That's settled; as long as it doesn't go against the Heavenly Dao, Mr. Jiang can instruct as needed."

She casually handed over the Demon Mirror, "Here, I'll trouble you with this, sir."

"No problem, no problem," Jiang Yuan took it and placed it into the Storage Bag. He then activated the courtyard communicator and put the Demon Mirror at the Treasure Forging Workshop's waiting area for repairs.

In more than two hours, the Void Detector will be completed, and next will be armor (top) for which enough materials have finally been found... When it's the Demon Mirror's turn, it will also require some waiting.

Fortunately, Yuan Man wasn't in a hurry; she understood that forging and repairing divine artifacts wasn't easy. A few extra days were like the blink of an eye to a cultivator.

After waiting for a while longer, a convoy carrying Spirit Medicine finally rattled over from the corner of the street.

"Let's go, it's hard to explain with a Communication Stone; Mr. Jiang will understand when we get there." Yuan Man stood up, signaling to head together, and Jiang Yuan followed them across the street to the Teleportation Array located in the city's central zone.

Seeing the armored guards diligently inspecting the passing cultivators, he recalled the scene of his first visit to Cloud City, when he borrowed Xie Chenyuan's badge and identity to pass the inspection and enter the city.

Now, even the Lord City Lord has become a backup; time surely flies!

"Buzz~"

The massive Teleportation Array flashed with brilliance, and Jiang Yuan felt his vision suddenly darken.

The sound of waves was in his ears, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on a rather small deserted island.

Except for the huge Teleportation Array in the center, there was nothing else to be seen, only a Barrier emitting a faint glow to guard the safety of the place. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[Special Teleportation Array: Constructed personally by Xuanyuan Yangguang, it can only transport non-living objects]

[Central Island: Located at the very center of the Chaotic Stone Sea, and also the last piece of land at the center of the Wilderness World. Many many years ago, it was the center of a vast and flat continent, governed by the central Divine Beast—Yellow Dragon.

However, besieged by external threats and internal strife, the Demon Race invasion led to the fall and destruction of the Divine Beast Yellow Dragon. The vast sea changed into fields, and the central continent of the world was submerged by seawater. Xuanyuan Yangguang vowed to save the world, moved mountains and filled seas to recreate the Central Island, thereby creating this piece of pure land]

"Here it is." Facing the sea breeze, Yuan Man's dress fluttered like flowers as she helplessly said, "If I could find Xuanyuan Yangguang's whereabouts, I would have tried to find him long ago."

The guards responsible for escorting the Spirit Medicine began swiftly unloading, arranging the piles of Spirit Medicine neatly, and upon receiving the City Lord's approval, they placed Spirit Stones in several positions around the Teleportation Array and activated the Array.

With a flash of brilliance, those medicinal materials were quickly transmitted to an unknown place.

After waiting again for a while, the Teleportation Array reversed and flashed brilliantly, and piles of Spirit Stones appeared in the Array.

The group began to transport preparations for their return, and the transaction ended simply and quickly.

"Have you tried sending letters, notes, or other things?" Jiang Yuan was unrelenting in his inquiry, "After all, it's just one transmission, what harm is there in adding a few other items?"

Yuan Man shook her head helplessly, "I've tried, and without exception, they were all intercepted by the Teleportation Array. Aside from these fully mature and intact Spirit Medicine, Elixirs, Weapons, broken Spirit Medicine, stationery, food and clothing, everything else was tried—even Spirit Stones and Immortal Jade couldn't be transmitted.

Xuanyuan Yangguang was immensely talented; the Teleportation Array he personally designed and built can be used indefinitely as long as it's not deliberately damaged. But it's only usable; the fate of the transmitted Spirit Medicine and the origin of the traded Spirit Stones are still mysteries."

Central Island, the fall and extinction of the Divine Beast Yellow Dragon, and the disappearance of the five directions leaving only four symbols, Jiang Yuan could vaguely sense that this place is surely related to Xuanyuan Yangguang's whereabouts!

Yet, the system couldn't identify any more information, leaving him completely helpless.

"Xuanyuan Yangguang shared a story with me when he helped build this city." Returning to Cloud City, Yuan Man listened to Jiang Yuan recount the details of Central Island, paused for a moment, and said, "He said that long ago, there were six Divine Beasts in the world.

East, south, west, north, above and below, corresponding to Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Hook Chen, and Soaring Snake respectively.

Later, for unknown reasons, the world changed dramatically, turning the six Divine Beasts into the five directions. The four symbols of east, south, west, and north remained unchanged, but Hook Chen and Soaring Snake fell, leading to the formation of the central Yellow Dragon.

After the Demon Race designed the invasion causing turmoil in this world, the Divine Power of Yellow Dragon grew weaker, eventually leading to its fall and extinction, leaving only four symbols.

For this reason, the Divine Beasts guarding the world could barely resist the Outer Heaven Demons, without any additional strength. All because of the internal power shift of the entire world, leaving no other Divine Beasts to share the responsibility."

She sighed and said bitterly, "In this way, the ancestors of those ungrateful, treacherous Demon Race surely committed heinous crimes!"

Jiang Yuan's thoughts were also somewhat chaotic.

Old Dragon Zhou Jian is a pure Earth Dragon; could it be that he is not an Azure Dragon but a Yellow Dragon?

The central Divine Beast Yellow Dragon is entirely extinct; Xuanyuan Yangguang moved mountains and filled seas to recreate the Central Island, but for what purpose?

Could it be... that he found or nurtured a Yellow Dragon to guard the Central Island again, and those Spirit Medicines were food for the Divine Beast? Or he might have sacrificed himself to replace Yellow Dragon in guarding Central Island?

His imagination just ran wild, and then he denied it again.
