I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 404 - 303: A Stroke Opens the Heavens

Two months passed quickly.

During these two months, the Great Xia North County developed steadily every day.

In Lin Jingxuan’s small conference room, the golden Profound Texts appearing on the large floor-to-ceiling window were becoming fewer and fewer.

What was generated was no longer limited to text but had become patterns, symbols, and some more abstract signs.

However, correspondingly, the difficulty of comprehending them began to rise geometrically.

Lin Jingxuan sat here for a full two months.

Comprehending the mysteries in the River Map and Luo Book Origin was a meticulous process that could not be rushed or forced.

On this day, as he waved the White Feather Fan as usual, no new golden Profound Texts appeared on the window.

Lin Jingxuan paused in surprise.

He quickly realized it.

He had comprehended all the mysteries contained within the River Map and Luo Book!

In the next second, all the golden Profound Texts that had appeared before reappeared densely on the window, arranging themselves randomly, and began to rapidly rotate clockwise.

The continuous rotation allowed the golden Profound Texts to slowly merge, turning into a golden and white color.

They blended yet remained distinct.

Like two different-colored swimming fish, they linked head to tail, chasing each other.

Behind them, more and more golden Profound Texts condensed into them, causing these two fish to grow larger, eventually filling the entire window, forming a special pattern.

If Han Zhan were here, he would immediately recognize it.

This is the Tai Chi Yin Yang!

While the Yin Yang fish were in motion, eight different Hexagrams appeared at specific positions.

The Two Elements were born, the Four Images moved, and the Eight Trigrams formed!

It detached from the window, transforming into a golden light that entered Lin Jingxuan’s forehead.

The scene froze instantly at this moment.

By now, it was already late at night in North County.

After the Tai Chi Eight Trigrams entered Lin Jingxuan’s forehead, the Heaven and Earth Array suddenly changed.

The golden light reappeared, surging like shimmering ripples, rising from every inch of North County’s land, instantly illuminating the entire world.

One stroke, and heaven and earth opened!

This process lasted only a brief moment, and after that moment, North County plunged into darkness once more.

But on the North County forum, people who witnessed this scene were already in an uproar.

"Did you see the celestial anomaly, everyone?"

"I think I saw a giant flashbang explode in the sky!"

"Could it be another force attacking? Hurry and notify the Sheriffs."

"@Sheriff Zhan Ning, @Sheriff Yu Lian."

Soon, Zhan Ning’s reply appeared on the forum: "Please stay calm, do not spread rumors; there is no enemy attack, this is just a normal natural phenomenon."

Natural phenomenon... Looking at Zhan Ning’s response on the forum, Han Zhan’s lips twitched slightly.

Zhan Ning’s public relations rhetoric clearly needs more practice.

"Did you feel it?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Han Zhan turned to look behind him, where the women also woke from their slumber.

"A very familiar power, it seems to be... the River Map and Luo Book Origin!"

Having dealt with the River Map and Luo Book Origin before, Shang Siteng saw through it.

Immediately, a gleam of joy lit up in her eyes.

"Ah Zhan, does this mean?"

"That’s right." Han Zhan’s tone grew lighter, "Second Senior Brother, his comprehension of the River Map and Luo Book Origin has advanced another step!"

The ultimate effect of comprehending the Origin, no one knows.

Currently, the one who has traveled the furthest on this path is Lin Jingxuan, and for him, each step forward must be his own.

"I’ll go take a look."

Han Zhan calmed his excited heart and headed for Lin Jingxuan’s residence.

...

Lin Jingxuan felt as if he had dreamed.

A very long dream.

In the dream, he roamed the vast Star River, brilliant stars accompanying him on either side.

With just a thought, he could turn into starlight and retreat to faraway places.

Even, as Lin Jingxuan gently raised his hand, the stars began to change direction with his gestures!

This wondrous sensation immersed him.

When all unknown mysteries unfolded so clearly, without secrecy, in his mind, it felt like he had gained omniscience and omnipotence.

Lin Jingxuan strained his eyes to look into the deep night sky.

One by one, secrets were unveiled, dispersed, and disappeared, his gaze cutting through thorns and thistles, reaching the endpoint where the stars extinguished.

He saw an unimaginably gigantic eye.

It was an eye comparable to the cosmos, a single one filling the entire cosmic horizon.

When Lin Jingxuan saw it, it blinked.

In that moment, the secrets Lin Jingxuan observed disappeared, returning to the endless dark night sky, forcing his explorative gaze to retract.

Lin Jingxuan awoke with a start from this dream.

He suddenly leaned back, as if struck by a massive force, barely steadying himself after stumbling a few steps.

"Second Senior Brother?"

At this moment, Han Zhan appeared in the small conference room.

He exchanged a glance with Lin Jingxuan.

Han Zhan saw, in Lin Jingxuan’s eyes, an endless spray of starlight, as if under his gaze, all of Han Zhan’s secrets were laid bare.

"Second Senior Brother?"

Faced with Lin Jingxuan in this state, Han Zhan dared not approach rashly and thus called out again.

After the second call, Lin Jingxuan began to recover from the profound state he was in.

He abruptly closed his eyes and, after a long while, reopened them.

His eyes were back to normal, merely deeper than before, as if countless stars hid within his dark pupils.

"You’ve come." Lin Jingxuan nodded in acknowledgment to Han Zhan.

"Second Senior Brother, have you comprehended all the mysteries of the River Map and Luo Book?"

Faced with Han Zhan’s inquiry, Lin Jingxuan nodded slightly.

"So... have you gained any special ability?"

"Special ability." Lin Jingxuan muttered, looking down at his outstretched right hand.

Only to see a bit of starlight appear in Lin Jingxuan’s open right palm, sketching out complex and profound patterns.

"Starry sky, hexagram, divination."

Lin Jingxuan came to a realization in his heart. This was the new ability he comprehended from the River Map and Luo Book Origin!

Starry sky, hexagram, divination?

Wouldn’t that turn Second Senior Brother into a complete fortune-telling mystic?

"Quick, tell my fortune." When it comes to fortune-telling, no one can resist it, and Han Zhan was no exception.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jingxuan shook his head, refusing his request.

"I’m tired; another day."

Fatigue was evident in Lin Jingxuan’s eyes, showing that comprehending the River Map and Luo Book had also taken a great toll on his spirit.

Han Zhan didn’t overthink it. He nodded at the words. "Then rest well, Second Senior Brother. I won’t disturb you any longer."

Watching Han Zhan’s departing figure, Lin Jingxuan’s gaze grew heavy.

Just moments ago, before his "Star-Gazing Eye" had faded, he saw Han Zhan enveloped in a dense black and red aura.

Not just him, but the entire North County was the same.

And black and red represents—disaster of bloodshed!
