Chapter 419: Welcome to Guanghan Province
Master Wang was excited, but he wasn't one to spoil the atmosphere.
It was most important to focus on accompanying Lingtong.
After being apart for a long time, Master Wang, who had always been somewhat vague about emotions, suddenly experienced a feeling he couldn't let go of.
Before now, Master Wang's fondness for Lingtong was mostly due to two aspects.
The first was her good figure, beautiful face, spirited personality, able to stand on her own, and also able to show gentleness in front of him, especially the inadvertent gentleness creating a contrast with her mechanical arm, making Wang Jixuan desire such a partner.
The second was that Wang Jixuan felt he should experience the romance of the mundane world to complete his Dao Heart.
To a large extent, it was still for his own cultivation.
When Wang Jixuan made various decisions, he only considered Lingtong's safety;
unlike now, he would subconsciously consider whether Lingtong would be unhappy.
The Daoist even found a little of the feeling he had as a youth when looking at his senior sister.
However, these are ultimately mere romantic feelings, unrelated to becoming immortal.
After a period of tenderness, inside the teardrop-shaped special spacecraft operating around the moon, peace was restored, and Lingtong went to the slightly narrow bathroom to shower, while Master Wang took out the Stone of the Past to observe carefully.
The Stone of the Past continued to radiate seven-colored rosy clouds.
At this moment, the spacecraft was on a lunar orbit, which was elliptical, with a near-moon point and a far-moon point.
Based on Wang Jixuan's earlier observation, when the spacecraft was relatively close to a certain point on the moon, the Stone of the Past reacted more intensely, and when furthest from the moon, the Stone of the Past simply ceased to emit light.
The Daoist carefully recalled the information shared with him in his second life, and the Yina civilization materials he distractedly studied while forging the perfect Tao Foundation.
He found nothing.
The existence of the Stone of the Past itself was a highest-level secret of the Yina civilization, known only to leaders.
How the Yina civilization obtained the Stone of the Past remained obscure.
In his second life, he likely never acquired this information.
This was quite suspicious.
Earth is the Mother Star of the ancient Yina civilization, and the moon being its only natural satellite must have held a unique status during the Yina civilization era.
It could have been for military use, such as serving as a fortress to protect Earth;
or for research purposes, some classified experiments not disclosed to ordinary Yina people could reasonably be set up on the moon.
In any case, the Stone of the Past definitely resonated with something on the moon.
After careful consideration, the Daoist still split a wisp of Primordial Spirit Power, and as taught before his second life's sleep, he inserted it into hole number twelve inside the Stone of the Past's northwest side.
Soon, Wang Jixuan heard a melodious yawning sound.
"What's up, my handsome and charming reincarnation."
Wang Jixuan:...
Unexplainable shame.
"There are two things I need to discuss with my past self."
"Make it brief if you can; my sleep has been short, and the unique spiritual power has only slightly touched me, unable to sustain for long."
"Alright."
The Daoist briefly mentioned the Heavenly Net Group and the Shadow Followers, along with the anomaly when the Stone of the Past approached the moon.
"I've been to the moon a few times before, but never carried the Stone of the Past."
The Three Realms Wanderer quickly explained:
"After all, in name, the Stone of the Past was lent by the Yina civilization for my research, though they abandoned it, I couldn't casually carry it out of Cloud City."
"This situation is my first encounter."
Wang Jixuan asked, "Did the Yina civilization ever mention the relationship between the moon and the Stone of the Past?"
"No," the Three Realms Wanderer answered definitively, "they showed me all their research materials, and despite years of study, they couldn't elicit any reaction from the Stone of the Past. I used mana to make the stone's light flourish, which greatly surprised them... This was initially how I proved my special ability."
Wang Jixuan thoughtfully stroked his chin.
The Three Realms Wanderer laughed and said, "Why think so much? Go down and explore; maybe you'll discover the treasure of the Yina civilization. I told you those guys must have hidden something from me!"
Treasure?
Master Wang also felt a stirring excitement.
No matter whether he lacked treasures or not, treasure hunting was always an exciting endeavor.
Especially treasures left by the once-dominant civilization, the Yina civilization.
As for the connection between the Stone of the Past and the moon, the Yina civilization did not discover it, and such a rather far-fetched guess...
This possibility exists, but it's certainly not abundant.
"Tianluo, Dark Sect, are they all cultivators?"
The Three Realms Wanderer frowned and pondered:
"The expert from the Immortal Realm who pointed at me might be related to the Dark Sect?"
"Is this still the so-called Forbidden Land?"
"Gosh, if these are true, then we might be trapped by this place."
"What do you mean?" Master Wang was confused.
The Three Realms Wanderer explained:
"When I assisted the Yina civilization in their conquests, I indeed encountered some mysterious folks."
"There's a tribe, I remember, located in the northwest of this Star Domain's proper star map, called... Ancient Temple, should be the name, though it's a phonetic rendition, exactly what it means, you'd have to ask them yourself; anyway, their language couldn't be recorded before they perished in the flames of war."
"I saw some ancient and partially destroyed murals at their place."
"The murals depicted some buildings similar to those in our Cultivation World, surrounded by clouds and mist, with Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Thunder descending."
