Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 863 - 431: Senile Dementia—Everyone Has Senile Dementia_2

[The Main Helm is in the sky] [Go Home]

That Sword Intent was unmistakable for Mo Jingchun; it was left by Chen Qianhu.

Mo Jingchun took the black stone, examined it for a long time, and then asked, "Where did you find this thing?"

Zhang Ze did not hide anything and recounted fully what he had seen and heard beyond the celestial barrier.

Including the Heavenly Obstacle that prevented cultivators from crossing boundaries, the Four Continents that seemed infant-like in their haze, and how one's Divine Sense became increasingly blurred the further one moved from the Four Continents.

"Heavenly Obstacle?" Old Sect Leader Li frowned, feeling that this was a bit far-fetched.

Throughout his life, he'd never considered himself inferior to others, and now, he prepared to see what this Heavenly Obstacle truly was.

He took a step forward and disappeared from everyone's view.

A moment later, he reappeared.

"What did you see?" Qin Lang asked curiously.

"Don't talk to me; let me try again." Old Sect Leader Li waved his hand in confusion, gesturing Qin Lang to be quiet, and then took another step forward.

A moment later, he returned, once again looking bewildered, to the people in front of him.

Qin Lang studied Li Wenzhou's expression, thoughtful.

Old Sect Leader Li himself found it hard to describe the sensation; something was clearly wrong, yet everything seemed normal.

And as time passed, this strange feeling grew increasingly faint...

Not only could he not cross, but he also forgot what he'd just done on the other side.

This so-called Heavenly Obstacle seemed real.

"Is your old ailment acting up again? Need me to prescribe some medicine?" Qin Lang joked upon seeing Old Sect Leader Li's state.

"Shut up, you try it and see if you can cross." Old Sect Leader Li frowned.

"Maybe some other day. The sky's still there, it won't fall; we can experiment anytime.

"Let's get back to the matter of the black stone and Sect Leader Chen; someone is losing patience already."

Qin Lang gave Old Sect Leader Li a look, reminding him of the Sect Leader's Wife whose husband was missing.

"Ahem, carry on, young man." Old Sect Leader Li lightly coughed, deciding to temporarily set aside the matter of the Heavenly Obstacle.

Standing quietly on the side, being the well-behaved child that he was, Zhang Ze finally spoke.

"Although the specific principle of the Heavenly Obstacle is unknown, it's bidirectional. It stops people from going out and prevents people from coming in, too.

"When I encountered these black stones, there was other information on them, but it got completely erased the moment it passed through the Heavenly Obstacle.

"Fortunately, I had memorized them.

"The erased information was a set of coordinates."

Zhang Ze raised his hand to summon paper and pen, writing down a string of numbers as coordinates.

"What is this?" Qin Lang asked, curious about the string of numbers.

"A positioning algorithm used by Thousand Mechanism Cultivators to help cultivators with weak Divine Sense calculate the location of a target." Mo Jingchun answered Qin Lang's question on behalf of Zhang Ze.

They, as a couple, often amused themselves by exploring new creations by the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, and thus, knew quite a bit about these things.

Qin Lang, "So, you mean..."

"I think the Sect Leader found the Main Helm of the Hundred Demons Sect and got temporarily trapped there.

And this position is the coordinate of the Main Helm.

"The Main Helm of the Hundred Demons Sect is in outer space."

Zhang Ze revealed his conjecture.

These black stones were messages the old Sect Leader sent back to the Four Continents.

But due to the Heavenly Obstacle, most of the crucial information on the 'message' got erased.

Only that intense intent to return home was preserved due to its overwhelming strength.

And it was this thought of returning home that awakened the Firefly Spirit's intelligence, which thereafter triggered subsequent events.

Moreover, this intent, at the brink of Zhang Ze losing himself in outer space, pulled him back.

"Could it be a trap?" Qin Lang, known for his cautious nature, speculated.

He believed this information might not have been left by Chen Qianhu.

"Impossible. I won't mistake the Sword Intent on it." Mo Jingchun immediately retorted.

Qin Lang, "It could be fabricated. I once fabricated auras and disguised myself as Monk Konghai to infiltrate the Buddhist Sect and steal Xiaoxue.

The royal family of Dongqi, with dharma methods inherited from the Celestial Sect, excelled at such facades."

Qin Lang triggered the counter-attack spiral, entering a small debate.

"Makes sense." Old Sect Leader Li instinctively responded supportively.

"You all..." Mo Jingchun grew anxious.

The matter concerned Chen Qianhu's safety, yet these two old fellows analyzed it as if her husband were already gone.

"Um, I have some thoughts, would you like to hear them?" Zhang Ze carefully raised his hand, signaling the three big shots to listen.

Qin Lang, "Go ahead."

Toward a junior, he generally wouldn't start a counter-attack spiral.

Zhang Ze pondered his words.

"I believe the Sect Leader is fine."

"In Luoyu Mountain, I met the avatar of Xiao Jing; he wasn't a match for the Sect Leader.

"I think the power truly trapping the Sect Leader is what's causing people to get lost in outer space and forget everything.

"Because of that power, even the Sect Leader isn't confident of returning safely while retaining normal cognition, rather than returning aged... let's say maintaining normal cognition.

"Right now, the Sect Leader and Xiao Jing are probably in a state of mutual awareness without being able to eliminate each other."

Chen Qianhu sent the black stone back to the Four Continents for the first time a year ago, but Xiao Jing only realized it two months ago and hastily formulated a plan.

Though the hasty plan nearly succeeded, resulting in a big explosion.

...

Just as Zhang Ze was about to offer further words, attempting to comfort his mother-in-law, Mo Jingchun signaled him to stop.

"No need to comfort me; Qianhu cannot be in trouble. No one in the Four Continents can harm him, and neither can anyone outside the Four Continents."

She picked up the note.

"First, find a way to verify whether these coordinates are incorrect. Also check how Xiao Jing managed to send people over."
