Chapter 1590 9: Scholar's Imperial Mausoleum, All Are Banished! (13,000 Words)
The Giant Sun clone clasped the Mystic Spirit History Book-Time Page and discreetly absorbed it into his body.
On Hu Rui Star Land, Zhao Xing's true self displayed a particularly vivid expression.
"So the Realm Transfer Tomb Ship capsized because of this item, its power disturbed time and space. This means the location of the Xuanling History Book Fragments is in that reverse river formed by the 'Copper History Skill'?"
"My Giant Sun clone grasped it, triggering its effects."
After Zhao Xing stored the Time Page inside himself, his soul began to meticulously observe.
It was a thin sheet of white paper, seemingly with no thickness, merely half a meter in length and width, with tiny lines etched on it.
As Zhao Xing's soul scrutinized it, the fine lines enlarged, resembling an array of rivers.
The rivers flowed outward from the paper, disappearing into the void.
"Limited to time reversal within the Realm Transfer." Zhao Xing mused. "My true self is outside, where time is normal. It is still the 1158 Year of the Shixin."
In 1146, the true self and the clone began their separate endeavors, and it's already been twelve years.
Though changes occur within the Realm Transfer, the outside remains unchanged.
"It only affects a branch of the Time Dao." Zhao Xing quickly realized.
"Although I'm unsure how to use it specifically, possessing it shields me from its influence, allowing me to remember everything; others, however, remain unaware."
Currently, Zhao Xing refrained from in-depth examination. After all, this was just a clone, and circumstances prohibited extensive inspection, hence he suppressed his curiosity momentarily.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have entered the ancient tomb."
"This is a 'Realm Transfer.'
Three Great Divine Ability Practitioners of the Star Fire have all entered the Realm Transfer..."
Captain Bai Yang's words echoed in his ears. Zhao Xing glanced around, noticing Jing Yan and Yu Tianqing alongside him.
Yu Tianqing, however, was frowning, seemingly awakening his innate abilities.
Zhao Xing said nothing, only engaging in discussion with Jing Yan.
Bai Yang, after completing his speech, took out the Star Disc to begin pathfinding.
Zhao Xing probed with a transmission inquiry, "Jing Yan, I noticed other team members are in groups of three or five, but we're only two, isn't that a bit disadvantageous?"
"Brother, are you not considering Little Yu a person?" Jing Yan was startled. "Though Little Yu is reticent and completely replaced his bones, he's still counted as human, how could you not include him?"
"I was joking."
Zhao Xing said little else, noting that Jing Yan still remembered Yu Tianqing. "It seems Yu Tianqing is forgotten during the crossing or upon entering the city."
Zhao Xing counted, finding the team indeed numbered thirty. Except for Blue Sea and Red Heart Fairy, the rest left no particular impression.
"Calculating the time, only a few days remain to find the right spot." Zhao Xing contemplated. "This time, should I remind Bai Yang to save him?"
Bai Yang, being a Great Divine Ability Practitioner from the Shi family, could employ the Boundary Repair Pen, Taishi Crown, and Preaching Book, utilizing part of their power if alive.
This would spare the three of them from years of battles and escape.
Why fight fiercely when one could avoid it?
"Yue Girl and Chen Xuan, though formidable, lack Bai Yang's specialization. Whether the Realm Transfer Tomb Ship collapsed due to the Time Page, or if those two used the right items, remains uncertain."
"If Bai Yang lives, I and Yu Tianqing would have an easier time. Especially Old Yu's innate Great Divine Power, the risk of exposure would decrease."
Zhao Xing pondered, deciding to cautiously remind Bai Yang. If Bai Yang heeds no warning, so be it.
"Lord Bai Yang."
Zhao Xing transmitted to Bai Yang.
"Zhao Xing, do you have a question?" Bai Yang promptly responded, holding a favorable impression of Zhao Xing.
The Star Shifting Array caused mild soul vibrations, yet Zhao Xing, Red Heart, and Blue Sea reacted the fastest. Zhao Xing demonstrated actions protecting teammates, whereas the two did not.
"Lord Bai Yang…"
"Just call me Bai Yang, or Captain Bai Yang."
"Yes, Captain Bai Yang," Zhao Xing carefully chose his words. "I noticed, Captain Bai Yang, what you have resembles the Historian's 'Time Plate'?"
"Oh? You recognized it?" Bai Yang, slightly surprised, appeared to hold a navigation compass for star seeking, but it was indeed the Time Plate for time setting.
Because he possessed the Great Divine Power of time retrospection, he could see past events.
Actually, Bai Yang's current view was identical to the others'.
Zhao Xing and the crew saw only a wasteland, with thunder clouds overhead. But in Bai Yang's eyes, it was a lively, sunny scene with passersby and flying boats continuing their paths.
Viewing the past's scenes allowed swift determination of Royal City's location by observing passersby and signposts.
However, such Great Divine Power was not without danger.
Upon entering the Realm Transfer, Bai Yang risked confusing past with present.
The Time Plate served as an anchor, reminding him he was alive in the second epoch of the Desolate Domain Era, not other time points.
"Master Qing Yu Zi, Heavenly Time Sect's Agriculture, had a deep interest in history. I visited a historian's abode with him and saw a Time Plate there."
Zhao Xing routinely used Qing Yu Zi to justify his remarks.
Don't ask, just credit it to Master Qing Yu Zi's teachings!
"I see; the Heavenly Time Sect's Agriculture is quite sensitive to hours... Yet you chose the Self Sect, intriguing indeed." Bai Yang remained amicable.
Yue Girl was cold, Chen Xuan hot-tempered, but Bai Yang, this historian, brimmed with wisdom as his path evolved from Ritual Repairer.
"Captain Bai Yang, are you actually a historian?" Zhao Xing feigned surprise.
"I knew I wasn't wrong about you; your reactions are quick." Bai Yang openly admitted. "I wasn't deliberately hiding it from you, just preparing for the Realm Transfer."
