Zhao Xing threw out everything except the skeleton.

"Yes."

The Mechanical Cat immediately flew out.

Its eyes shone with light, scanning over the scene.

"Congratulations, Master, there is one Low Grade Origin Divine Weapon here, three top-grade Sun Taoist Soldiers, and ten thousand Platinum Rupees," reported the Mechanical Cat.

"The Low Grade Origin Divine Weapon is worth at least one trillion Red Star Coins."

"Three top-grade Sun Taoist Soldiers, ten thousand Platinum Rupees, we have a clear price here."

"Selling top-grade Sun Taoist Soldiers for a small trillion Red Star Coins is no problem."

"Ten thousand Platinum Rupees, worth 140 billion."

"The total value here might approach three trillion Red Star Coins," Zhao Xing thought.

"You're already very close to the five trillion mark."

"Add 1.5 of Du Yun's cut, with this haul, it's pretty close."

If it doesn't work, I'll ask Du Yun for a discount.

I could sell some burial information of the Great Divine Power Realm for some Star Fire, that would help make up for it quickly.

"What I earn next will be mine."

"On the way back, I can look for a couple of small tombs."

Zhao Xing turned around happily.

Then, he was startled.

A figure descended from the sky, heading straight for him. The person was wearing a Star Magic Robe and holding a Ritual Staff. The equipment on the person was only Boundary Star Dao Soldiers.

Yet Zhao Xing was scared half to death.

Because this figure was Qing Yu Zi!

"Oh shit!"

Zhao Xing instantly jumped away in fright.

Qing Yu Zi continued with undiminished momentum, crashing toward the sea.

At the last moment before hitting the water, he turned and rushed straight at Zhao Xing.

"You, you you..."

Zhao Xing was stunned.

From any angle, this was Qing Yu Zi. He had been keeping his body for so long, how could he be mistaken?

But how could this be?

"Could it be that the Purple Moon Mansion Master broke through to the Reincarnation Realm and resurrected Qing Yu Zi? That's impossible! The Reincarnation Temple and the Ancient Country Alliance are tense, where would there be a revival quota now?"

"Moreover, how did Qing Yu Zi find this place?!"

"Something's wrong! It's all too wrong!"

Zhao Xing felt his scalp go numb.

If Qing Yu Zi were alive, he could accept it, but this Qing Yu Zi before him was definitely just a corpse! And just a second realm corpse at that.

Not only did it resurrect, but it crossed the endless starry sky and came to Yueluo Cemetery, where death happens at the drop of a hat, to find him?

"Emperor, what's wrong?" The Illusion Tree found it curious, it was just a second realm corpse falling from the sky.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't know."

The Illusion Tree immediately shut its mouth.

Swoosh~

Zhao Xing dodged several times, finding that Qing Yu Zi's corpse kept coming straight for him.

After observing a few times, Zhao Xing stopped.

"Whoosh~"

Qing Yu Zi stopped ten meters in front of him.

Qing Yu Zi, who had always kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, staring straight at Zhao Xing.

"This is scary as hell..." Zhao Xing muttered.

But Qing Yu Zi's eyes were murky and lifeless, without any 'spirit'.

Meaning, this was indeed a corpse.

"But why?"

Zhao Xing couldn't understand.

He moved, and Qing Yu Zi moved as well.

Such a mysterious occurrence was beyond Mr. Zhao's comprehension.

Zhao Xing mystically pulled out a bundle of Tao Ming paper money and set it alight: "Old Qing, is there something you're dying to accomplish? Also, how did you get here?"

Qing Yu Zi remained unmoved.

Zhao Xing burned paper money, purely as self-consolation, because he couldn't see anything at all.

The panel detection couldn't determine Qing Yu Zi's current state either, after all, Qing Yu Zi was deceased, and the detection required the subject to be a living being.

"Seal!"

Zhao Xing wielded the Yuanfeng Skill, which he hadn't used in a long time, controlling the Taiyin and Sun origins, forming a closed barrier around Qing Yu Zi.

Qing Yu Zi did not resist and allowed Zhao Xing to seal him up just like that.

"I've seen many spiritual incidents, but this is truly the first time I've seen something like this."

Zhao Xing prided himself on his experience, but this situation was indeed the first for him.

Qing Yu Zi's resurrection from such a distance was completely incomprehensible!

"How could he, in the second realm, fly here all alone?"

"What is propelling him?"

"He keeps looking at me, but what exactly is he watching?"

Many doubts arose in Zhao Xing's heart.

"Clatter~"

The stormy sea roared continually, yet atop a great tree, a man, a corpse, and a mechanical cat were motionless, presenting a peculiar scene.

After contemplating for three days, Zhao Xing suddenly waved his hand, saying, "Retrieve!"

The Illusion Tree and Qing Yu Zi were both collected together.

"Mountain Cat, immediately return!"

"Yes!" the mechanical cat collected the treasures, and Zhao Xing entered the Boundary Boat.

"Boom~"

The cat-headed Boundary Boat instantly broke through the Realm Wall and disappeared into the void.

...

In the cold and dark cosmic void, Zhao Xing silently watched Qing Yu Zi from inside the Boundary Boat.

On the spotless, polished floor lay a heap of "antiques" — knives, spears, swords, halberds, bamboo horses, flying fish, crystal sculptures of vestments...

These were all inherited during the period of the Xuanhuang Realm, passed down in Qing Yu Zi's legacy.

Ever since Zhao Xing learned that the East Extending Ancient Clan was searching for sacred artifacts, he hadn't thrown away anything, including those from the national treasury, all of which he stored.

Now, he took them all out.

The reason was simple.

"The third party involved in my connection with Old Qing is precisely the mysterious East Extending Ancient Clan."

"Old Qing's sudden resurrection is definitely related to the East Extending Ancient Clan, but... I haven't sensed the East Extending Ancient Clan breaking any oath."

"This indicates that it was a previous arrangement by the East Extending Ancient Clan, and it doesn't involve the non-aggression treaty I later signed with the Elder Council of the East Extending Ancient Clan."

"Or perhaps, the East Extending Ancient Clan violated the agreement through some means, or maybe they're also unaware..."

"All things considered, the sacred artifact of the East Extending Ancient Clan is indeed with me, and Old Qing resurrected to find it."

After Zhao Xing poured out the items, he stepped back and activated a barrier: "Old Qing, everything is here!"

Qing Yu Zi lowered his head and turned around, yet he still raised his head, staring intently at Zhao Xing.

"It's not here?" Zhao Xing was slightly stunned, "Everything is here, I haven't kept anything."

Qing Yu Zi naturally couldn't respond.

Zhao Xing pondered deeply, then as if realizing something, a purple short sword appeared in his hand.

At that moment, Qing Yu Zi's eyes lit up with a divine brilliance as he reached out to grab the short sword.

"Boom~"

He was blocked by the barrier, trapped in place.

"Thunder Sword?" Zhao Xing felt a tingling on his scalp, once again taken by surprise.

"The Thunder Sword was something I picked up from Ji Che's royal treasure vault, and after two seals were lifted, it became a top-quality Realm Star Daoist Soldier, could this be the sacred artifact of the East Extending Ancient Clan?"

Zhao Xing suddenly had the urge to throw away the Thunder Sword.

But having reached this stage, he understood there was no use throwing it away.

"I'm already caught in the game." Zhao Xing felt a chill in his heart. "Since Qing Yu Zi, the Purple Moon Mansion Master, and I all would forget it."

"Then, perhaps a great epoch ago, Qing Yu Zi acquired this item, possibly forgot about it, and casually disposed of it."

"Just like how I casually threw the Kunyuan Shovel into the Xuanhuang Realm."

"And it eventually ended up in the treasury of another unified empire, 'Great Zhou'."

It's not impossible; the Dream Palace was originally the national treasure of Da Li, but it also appeared in Great Zhou's treasury.

"In the tiny Xuanhuang Realm, in the small Great Zhou, there hides an ultra-version item. This game is too profound, I didn't understand it at all in my previous life..." Zhao Xing muttered.

"This time, let's truly understand it, even if I must die, I want to die knowing clearly."

"I truly want to see, just what you are."

Zhao Xing grasped the floating Thunder Sword with both hands and began to remove its third seal.
