Chapter 473: Mural

Scorched by the Fire Evil Qi, the tumorous monster was quickly reduced to a pile of charcoal, emitting foul-smelling white smoke.

Even the vines it had buried deep in the ground were ignited by the Fire-Burning Qi.

Thick white smoke rose from an area spanning dozens of meters, and the gravel on the ground was roasted until it glowed red.

“It seems Glazed Island is indeed severely contaminated.”

“I can’t tell if this tumorous monster grew naturally or was intentionally planted here.”

Han Yuan landed on the ground not far away, frowning as he spoke.

“We haven’t seen any other plants on our way here. It was probably planted, serving as some kind of guard.”

Li Baozhou analyzed.

“Yes, in that case, the Immortal Sect Organization must be aware of our movements.”

Han Yuan’s eyes flickered.

“Haven’t they always been? They just haven’t attacked yet.”

Li Baozhou said softly.

If the Immortal Sect Organization lacked even that much capability, they would have been wiped out by the Profound Celestial Alliance long ago.

“By the way, Elder Li.”

“What kind of person is Nether Dragon, exactly?”

Han Yuan asked curiously.

He was very curious about this Grand High Priest of the Immortal Sect Organization.

But so far, only Li Baozhou had ever had contact with Nether Dragon.

“Nether Dragon… That man is a madman…”

“It’s a shame our paths diverge. Otherwise, he and I might have even become friends.”

Li Baozhou said lightly.

‘A madman…’ Han Yuan grew pensive upon hearing Li Baozhou’s assessment of Nether Dragon.

“Yes, a complete and utter madman.”

“When you see him, don’t listen to a single word he says. Just attack.”

Li Baozhou warned.

Han Yuan committed Li Baozhou’s words to memory.

At the same time, his curiosity grew about what kind of person Nether Dragon was to warrant such an evaluation from Li Baozhou.

The two of them remained to observe for a moment, and after confirming the tumorous plant was completely destroyed, they set off again.

This time, they walked for a full day and night before finally seeing a different kind of scenery.

But Han Yuan and Li Baozhou wore completely different expressions.

Li Baozhou’s face was filled with shock, mixed with a little curiosity.

Because in all his long years, he had never seen such a city.

It was completely beyond his comprehension.

Han Yuan, on the other hand, was filled with utter disbelief, his expression tinged with bewilderment.

Before his eyes, a city had appeared—one with a science-fiction aesthetic, full of metallic structures.

However, the city seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. It was dilapidated and devoid of life. Most of the skyscrapers had already collapsed, making it look like a desolate ruin.

‘Impossible… Impossible!’

‘A world that is ancient and without a single trace of technology.’

‘Why would this kind of architecture suddenly appear here…’

‘Have I been pulled into a Spiritual World again?’

For a moment, Han Yuan felt a sense of mental disarray.

He even suspected he had been pulled into a Spiritual World.

Otherwise, there was simply no way for him to explain this situation.

Only a dream could offer a faint explanation.

But when he activated his Eight Desolates Dragon God Observation Method, he felt nothing out of the ordinary.

‘Impossible… Could it be that the enemy’s Spiritual Power is so strong that the Spiritual World they created has completely deceived me?’

Even now, Han Yuan suspected he had been drawn into a Spiritual World.

“What’s wrong?” Li Baozhou asked in a low voice, sensing that Han Yuan’s spiritual fluctuations had become extremely erratic.

Hearing Li Baozhou’s voice, Han Yuan managed to pull himself out of his state of self-doubt.

“Nothing… I’ve just never seen this kind of architecture before…”

“What kind of being could have built this?”

Han Yuan took a deep breath.

“I’ve never seen it either… Could the Immortal Sect Organization have built it?”

“Built from metal… Interesting.”

Although Li Baozhou was shocked, it was merely the shock of encountering something unknown; he wasn’t on the verge of his Heart Spirit descending into chaos like Han Yuan was.

‘The Immortal Sect Organization…’

‘Could it be that the original Immortal Sect structures came from beyond the heavens?’

‘They built a base here…’

‘Before, I suspected that the Holy Stone and the Source Seed within the Bronze Immortal Sect weren’t products of this world.’

‘Could they also have been brought from beyond the heavens by the people of the Immortal Sect Organization back then?!’

After getting past his initial shock, an incredibly bold conjecture began to form in Han Yuan’s mind.

In his past life, space exploration had seemed like an unattainable goal.

But theoretically, it was predictable that with sufficiently advanced technology, space exploration was achievable.

The universe is infinitely vast; the existence of many advanced civilizations was a certainty.

In other words, these could be the remains left behind by some civilization with extremely advanced technology!

At this thought, Han Yuan’s heart surged with excitement.

“Let’s go.”

“This should be the main base of the Immortal Sect Organization.”

“I wonder what the situation is like inside.”

Li Baozhou said softly.

Han Yuan was also eager to enter the city’s ruins and investigate.

The two of them cautiously entered the dilapidated and decaying city, filled with its futuristic style.

The city’s roads were completely derelict, with many strange metal scraps scattered on the ground, and most of the buildings were in a state of ruin.

Just like the rest of Glazed Island, there were no plants here. It was desolate and cold, possessed by a strange, deathly silence.

Han Yuan stood before a half-collapsed tall building, observing it carefully.

This high-rise wasn’t built from the steel and concrete he had imagined, but from a more unique metal, which didn’t even seem to require rebar for support.

In terms of shape, it appeared to be a hexagonal prism, reflecting a cold, white light under the sun.
