Chapter 1115 - 1113: Confirming the Direction

The Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin exchanged a glance, their faces unconsciously turning much gloomier, with a touch of sadness in their hearts.

Perhaps Zhao Feiyu and the others weren’t very close to Xiang Tian, but Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit had watched Wang Zhan grow up, and thus naturally knew about the friendship between Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian. They had already considered Xiang Tian a friend, especially since he often listened to them, so how could they possibly be happy upon learning of Xiang Tian’s death?

Wang Zhan didn’t continue talking about these sad matters, knowing that on the Star War Battlefield, life and death were common occurrences. After inspecting the area around the two of them, he slowly spoke: "At first, Zhao Feiyu and Li Du left with you, didn’t they? So why aren’t they here now? Have they already left?"

The two exchanged a glance and then nodded.

"It’s good that they left, given the circumstances back then, I didn’t even know when I could safely come out, or if I could come out at all. They couldn’t just foolishly wait around. After all, not everyone understands your feelings towards me."

Wang Zhan had an excellent relationship with Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit. If Wang Zhan hadn’t insisted on them leaving earlier, they would surely have stayed protectively by his side, never abandoning him, even if it meant dying at the hands of the Spirit Devouring Beast, without a word of complaint.

This is the bond between the three of them.

Standing aside, the Hexagonal Golden Snake tapped Wang Zhan’s shoulder and directly reminded him: "Don’t forget what Flowing Light Venerable said to us. We’d better temporarily leave this barrier and not delay Flowing Light Venerable’s matters. After all, he’s ready to seal this space, and if he senses our presence and seals us in here, it might take us hundreds of years of cultivation just to find a chance to break the barrier."

What the Hexagonal Golden Snake said was indeed true. Considering their strength compared to Flowing Light Venerable, it was markedly inferior, almost incomparable.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan quickly nodded. After saying a few words to his companions, he saw the four of them transform into a stream of light, swiftly heading out of the ruins.

As Wang Zhan and the others left the ruins, they saw the ruins enveloped by a halo of light, but before they could react, the ruins vanished into thin air. Clearly, Flowing Light Venerable inside the ruins employed some means to concealed them.

Although Flowing Light Venerable now lacks other skills and has completely disappeared from the Star War Battlefield, he has granted himself peace because the ruins he hid are likely untrackable.

Wang Zhan stared at the space in front of him for a long time, recalling many memories. He had stayed in the ruins for a whole year, experiencing many events that were hard to forget. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke softly, "I hope Xiang Tian can accompany Flowing Light Venerable here, with both of them in this space, they can rely on each other."

The companions beside him nodded, but their expressions weren’t particularly pleasant.

"What’s our next step?"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake’s gaze fell on Wang Zhan, pulling him and his companions back to reality.

Since the deceased have passed, those alive must focus on current matters. They shouldn’t waste time, and they need to address the pressing issue at hand, which is finding the Absolute Heaven’s Sword.

Wang Zhan hesitated briefly, then tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers, slowly saying: "Since opening the barrier, Poseidon’s Trident and the Crystal Armor have been damaged. Having merged with them, my strength will greatly diminish without their assistance."

"So, the three of us will search for the location marked in my mind’s map to find the Absolute Heaven’s Sword and fill the gaps in my strength."

Wang Zhan didn’t need to seek opinions from Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit; they would undoubtedly support him regardless of where he intended to go, following him unwaveringly throughout.

The Hexagonal Golden Snake nodded and smiled: "Over the years, I’ve cultivated within the ruins to boost my strength, yet time has flown by outside for centuries. Stepping out, I find myself in a completely different state but unsure of what’s next. So why not journey with you to find the Absolute Heaven’s Sword and have each other for support, would you agree?"

Wang Zhan’s eyes instantly brightened upon hearing this. Knowing the Hexagonal Golden Snake’s strength, he wanted him to stay, but hesitated to voice it. Unexpectedly, the Hexagonal Golden Snake proposed it himself, which was a favorable turn of events for Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan nodded firmly, saying cheerfully: "If you stay with me, it’s a tremendous aid. On our journey to the ruins, I doubt we’ll face any obstacles since those seeking trouble wouldn’t dare approach your strength."

Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit also nodded, knowing if Hexagonal Golden Snake stayed, the Sky Pavilion’s strength would greatly increase, with Hexagonal Golden Snake becoming its strongest. Together with the other two serving as Wang Zhan’s left and right hand, Sky Pavilion would soon dominate as a Sect.

"By the way, what exactly is the Absolute Heaven’s Sword? Where will you search for it?"

Fire Qilin quickly inquired, being unfamiliar with these matters as he hadn’t been in the ruins and missed Wang Zhan’s discussions.

Wang Zhan then explained, slowly saying: "Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor were crafted by Flowing Light Venerable. He possesses an even stronger weapon, coveted by all on the Star War Battlefield: the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. It’s a divine weapon; its might unknown, but attaining it could fill the gap left by Poseidon’s Trident and Crystal Armor."

Fire Qilin nodded, still unsure of the Absolute Heaven’s Sword’s power but could see Wang Zhan’s enthusiasm, suggesting it was truly a treasure.

Sword Spirit, familiar with divine weapons, squinted slightly before saying: "I’ve heard of the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, but wasn’t it said to have disappeared after Flowing Light Venerable’s death? How is it on the Star War Battlefield?"

"I believe Flowing Light Venerable spread misinformation to prevent people from acquiring the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. Its fearsome power could tarnish its reputation in untrustworthy hands, making Flowing Light Venerable a laughingstock, thus sealing it away as a precaution."

Hexagonal Golden Snake, having also heard of the Absolute Heaven’s Sword, followed up with explanations.

"That’s likely the reason; Flowing Light Venerable warned even he couldn’t safely extract the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. Our quest isn’t as simple as imagined. But with you all beside me, there’s little to worry about, your presence is enough."

Wang Zhan spoke confidently.

With three companions, even encountering the Spirit Devouring Beast, if battle was futile, they could swiftly retreat and hide.

After exchanging glances, the group chuckled, having determined their course. Wang Zhan led swiftly ahead, out of the sea domain.

The Absolute Heaven’s Sword isn’t in the sea domain. Their priority is escaping it, as the sea domain restrains Fire Qilin’s strength, benefiting them little. Only by leaving it can his companions achieve their optimal state.

As they prepared to exit the sea domain, Wang Zhan suddenly heard shouts and cries for battle. Looking towards the sound, he saw many people engaged in combat in the distance.

"When I arrived in the sea domain, there was constant turmoil. Astonishingly, despite time passed, it remains chaotic. It’s quite laughable, but we have urgent matters, so let’s not waste time here and leave first."
