Chapter 2658 - 2659: Sudden Mutation

It is impossible for the new Mythological Remnants to be stationed in Kui Shan Town with such a large-scale deployment of weapons; it must be those people who have lived from the Mythical Era to the present.

It was precisely because of this that when Feng Yuan contacted them, they easily lent the weapons to Dou Yanlan and his group.

One reason was that they needed manpower, and another was that they trusted Feng Yuan, or rather, in their view, without Feng Yuan’s help, they would have been lost in the Mythical Era.

After knowing that Qi Chen and his group obtained weapons from the Mythological Remnants, Feng Yuan was not worried at all, jokingly thinking that those people who have experienced all kinds of battles since the Mythical Era would be truly surprising if the mere Imperial Timeline could trap them.

Since there was nothing to worry about, Feng Yuan’s leisurely life in Bian Shui Fort was quite enjoyable.

"These fish just don’t bite, really."

Putting away his fishing rod, looking at Xiao Ji and the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound holding fish in their mouths, Feng Yuan shook his head with amusement. Initially, it was only the Fluffy Fire Wolfhound frolicking in the creek; in the past two days, Xiao Ji also started running into the water to catch fish. However, since neither of them used their ultimate moves, their fishing skills were about the same.

"Let’s go, let’s eat lunch. By the way, have those guys not counterattacked yet?"

Casually calling Xiao Ji and the others to follow, Feng Yuan asked Veronia, who after a moment of silence said,

"Not yet."

"What exactly do those guys want to do?"

Thinking of the Divine Artifact snatched away from the Mythical Era, Feng Yuan’s face clouded over. Although he wasn’t worried about Maomu City’s safety for now, he was still quite concerned about those guys not making any move.

After all, being on constant alert is not great for the army of the Main World.

"I don’t think there’s any need to worry. Even if those guys want to do something, it would only be during this period, especially since the progress of Little Crocodile and the others is quite good now."

Veronia chuckled indifferently, saying that although the Imperials messing with the Main Timeline would give her a headache, Agunas and the others have already advanced deep into the Empire. If those guys dare to stay idle, by the time Agunas and the others solve the Imperial Timeline, those guys wouldn’t have time to do anything.

Indeed, if they were to act, it would definitely be during this period; otherwise, there would be no more chances. Veronia was very sure about this, after all, she wasn’t a Divine Beast after the Mythical Era.

In the Mythical Era, such chaotic wars were inevitable, and even if one didn’t understand these matters, similar cases could be found.

Therefore, Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised that Veronia could deduce these things. He even believed that if Veronia were to command the war, she wouldn’t necessarily do poorly, as she could indeed make ruthless decisions using special strategies.

"I hope they won’t come to attack Bian Shui Fort, otherwise it would be really annoying."

Feng Yuan laughed and said casually, not believing that those guys would bother to attack him, as it would be truly meaningless.

It would just spoil his good mood during the trip, which is why Feng Yuan didn’t want such an almost impossible thing to happen. Unfortunately, his luck doesn’t seem to be very good these two years, often running into all sorts of messy situations.

Even though he knew it was almost impossible, Feng Yuan still had some concerns, but he soon disregarded them because, after all, none of them could be his opponents. If they really dare to disrupt his leisurely holiday, Feng Yuan wouldn’t mind dragging Eclipse and Xilnais to stroll around the Imperial Timeline.

"Hmm, I didn’t expect that besides the Qi Realm Stele, there would be the Blood Crystal, but in the end, the results turned out to be the same?"

In the afternoon, while continuing to fish by the creek, Feng Yuan received a plea for help from Meng Binglan. After reading the email, he was stunned for a moment because he had never seen a Blood Crystal before, and thought the stele was the only thing capable of transforming the Qi Realm Stance.

However, unlike the stele, the Blood Crystal is immovable and has no trials; it still grants the Attack Stance, and its negative effects still haven’t been eliminated.

This means that humans cannot attempt to use both the stele and the crystal simultaneously. At least not until they are absolutely sure, no one dares to propose this idea.

The reason Meng Binglan sought Feng Yuan’s help is that someone sent this information to her, who knows what they were thinking. Other than that one time Feng Yuan sought help, she has never been involved in this kind of research.

"The Qi Realm Crystal, I’ve heard them mention it, but it only appears in specific domains. Previously it would occasionally appear, but now it seems to have vanished."

Veronia replied indifferently when she heard Feng Yuan’s words; naturally, the Divine Beasts had talked about this matter, but since the outcome was the same, Veronia just considered it another form of the Qi Realm Stele.

As for the idea of avoiding trials?

The real difficulty with the Qi Realm Stance has never been the trial; it’s that nearly permanent impact on the mind that’s daunting to everyone, and this is why they haven’t dared to conduct further research.

As for using the stele and then the Blood Crystal, or vice versa, to see if a new Qi Realm Stance can be obtained, Veronia truly wasn’t sure, nor was she certain whether such a method might exert enormous mental pressure.

The Qi Realm is too special, so much so that no one dares to rush in; carelessness may well lead to paying with one’s life.

Feng Yuan only glanced at the information for a moment before replying to Meng Binglan, advising her not to attempt anything, as he had a bad feeling about it.

Using his intuition, if Feng Yuan really wanted to, he could achieve a direct line to the truth like Tamur did, but he seldom did so.

Now, using that intuition, Feng Yuan directly received an answer without a process, which was that the Blood Crystal and the Qi Realm Stele are of the same rank but cannot be used consecutively.

Although he didn’t know what consequences using both would bring, it definitely wouldn’t be anything good.

Therefore, Feng Yuan didn’t bother to attempt it, and directly told Meng Binglan to scrap the idea. He believed she just wanted a conclusion, but the process? Does it matter? Given the dangerous nature of the Qi Realm, trying to understand it fully would only lead to trouble.

However, what Feng Yuan didn’t expect was that even though he had no plans to deal with the Qi Realm, the Qi Realm was still affecting the real world.

"What’s going on? The Qi Realm Maze appeared near Kui Shan Town?"

Upon first hearing this news, Feng Yuan thought Veronia was joking, but her serious demeanor kept him stunned. After a moment, he thought of something and asked,

"Is Qi Chen and his group alright?"

With Tamur now by Feng Yuan’s side, Qi Chen and his group would likely be affected by pollution if they accidentally entered the Qi Realm.

"They’re fine, really. Initially, the thing was just like a mirage illusion, but before long, a connection node appeared. Yet, I never thought those people had the means to detect Qi Realm pollution."

Honestly, Veronia was genuinely surprised that the equipment brought by the Mythological Remnants could directly detect spiritual pollution, which is why they immediately sealed the location of the Qi Realm Maze.

As for why it was identified as a maze, although no one went in, before the connection node appeared, the illusion of the entire Qi Realm Maze had manifested in that area. Even now, the phantom of that maze still exists.

However, the range of the phantom no longer encompasses the entire maze, as if the entire Qi Realm Maze is infinitely expanding, and no one knows what will happen if it continues.

If not for this, Veronia wouldn’t have mentioned this to Feng Yuan. After all, it seems this thing is somewhat beyond the handling ability of the Mythological Remnants.

"What about Long Boduo? Let it take me there to have a look, otherwise, I won’t feel at ease."

Feng Yuan sighed, speaking helplessly, having not anticipated the Imperial Timeline’s counterattack yet ending up with this.

Unlike the Imperial Timeline, the Qi Realm is extremely troublesome, and even for the Divine Beasts, tackling it isn’t so simple. Feng Yuan planned to go and see to prevent any sudden explosion of Qi Realm hazards threatening Maomu City.

But... why did it appear near Kui Shan Town?

Feng Yuan was a bit puzzled, as that place was nothing special, and the Qi Realm had no reason to suddenly act on it, unless this change was related to the Mythological Remnants’ weapons.

Remembering those weapons originating from the Mythical Era, Feng Yuan had a sense of foreboding.

However, as he awaited Long Boduo’s arrival, the sky suddenly changed; a Bloody Maze hung aloft the firmament, shattered phantoms of the Bloody Maze draping the sky like continuous silken bands.
