Chen Mobai put down his notes.

His mood remained unsettled for a long time.

After a while, he stood up solemnly, clasped his fists towards the direction of the Taixu Temple, and performed a salute of the Tianhe Realm.

Although he and Liu Yanpei were strangers, if Chen Mobai were to achieve something in the future, he could not forget this man’s kindness.

“Is this turtle shell from the Tianhe Realm? Or was it originally on the Di Yuan Star?”

Chen Mobai picked up the turtle shell he had placed on the talisman paper. To anyone, it was just an ordinary object, devoid of any spiritual energy.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Yanpei, who had been by this treasure for fifty years, had not discovered that it was this turtle shell that had been transporting him between the two realms.

Chen Mobai couldn’t figure it out. The only thing he could be sure of was that the Taixu Temple was definitely not simple.

Or was the Taixu True God statue a manifestation of a great power?

However, with Liu Yanpei’s experience as a lesson, Chen Mobai knew that if a treasure did not wish to reveal itself to you, even if you held it for decades, you would not get the opportunity.

In the end, one must be strong oneself.

With these thoughts, Chen Mobai picked up Liu Yanpei’s last notebook.

What was recorded in it was not his diary, but his insights into the practice of the “Black Water Technique”.

Although Liu Yanpei had bought many techniques and spells from the Immortal Gate market, he had not switched to practicing them due to his established foundation. He had always been practicing this Qi Refining technique of the Five Elements Sect.

After reading through it once, Chen Mobai gained a lot.

Although he did not switch to practicing the “Black Water Technique”, he had almost mastered the spells that came with this technique. He considered himself to have achieved something, but compared to Liu Yanpei, who had been immersed in it for a lifetime, he was merely a beginner.

After reading Liu Yanpei’s insights into the Black Water spell system, Chen Mobai gained a lot.

If he were to fight with Yang Jing now, he felt he could win more easily.

However, these were not the biggest gains. In this book of insights, there was even a record of how to set up and break the “Ren Water Thunder Method” prohibition.

With it, when he returned to the Water Mansion, Chen Mobai would not need to use the second-order Yimu Divine Thunder Talisman. He could easily open the remaining two side halls.

He just didn’t know what Liu Yanpei had left inside.

But Liu Yanpei would never have thought that decades later, Chen Mobai would inherit his turtle shell and Water Mansion.

But perhaps it was fate that he left the method to break the Ren Water Thunder Method prohibition in his notes.

Chen Mobai looked at it and found that he needed “Black Water” to perform it. He had it. It’s just that the method of breaking it needed some practice, which might take some time. Since he had nothing else to do recently, he might as well practice it.

“It’s time to go back to the Tianhe Realm and see. If the beast siege has ended, leave Qingguang Island and return to the Water Mansion.”

Chen Mobai thought so and decided to go to the Tianhe Realm to check the situation tonight.

After dinner.

He returned to his room, carefully placed the turtle shell under his pillow, then opened his phone and clicked on “Teleport” after a long time.

Silver light flickered, and a month later, he finally returned to the Tianhe Realm.

But as soon as he returned, Chen Mobai felt something was wrong.

The entrance to the hole he had dug was blocked.

His face changed slightly, Chen Mobai adjusted his state back to battle mode, with the Fu Lu needle box in his hand, he carefully moved the wooden bars and earth blocks blocking the entrance.

About half an hour later, he finally saw daylight again.

After waiting for a while and confirming that there was no danger, Chen Mobai poked his head out.

Looking around, his face changed dramatically.

His wooden house had collapsed, and he didn’t know what kind of battle aftermath it had endured.

That’s why the entrance to the hole was blocked.

Chen Mobai became even more careful. After clearing the debris at the entrance, he darted out and looked outside.

This sight was even more shocking.

The market huts that were originally lined up along the island were mostly collapsed and shattered at this time. The entire Qingguang Island looked like it had been ravaged by a huge monster, and the highest mountain on the island had a huge chunk bitten off.

The once bustling streets were now in ruins, full of traces of battle. He even saw many broken monster corpses, but no humans.

He came to a high ground and looked out. The “Tianmu Shenguang Array” flag spirit trees that should have been in sight had also broken several, and some had been uprooted and turned into charred wood.

Chen Mobai took out his phone and checked the remaining spiritual energy concentration of the island, finding it was only 1 point.

“What a fierce battle it must have been.”

When Chen Mobai teamed up with Qi Rui, the latter had told him that as long as the spiritual veins of Qingguang Island were still there, the Tianmu Shenguang Array could continuously extract the earth vein spiritual energy to protect the entire island.

But now, it was clear that the spiritual veins of the entire Qingguang Island had been drained in the fierce battle.

This kind of draining behavior, even the cultivators of the Tianhe Realm would not do unless they had no other choice.

After all, Qingguang Island had been managed by the Shenmu Sect for decades, and the cultivation of the spiritual veins on the island had consumed tens of thousands of spirit stones. If it weren’t for a desperate situation, a matter of life and death, they would never have drained the island of its resources so ruthlessly.

Chen Mobai used a guiding talisman, which could locate the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.

He quietly followed the guidance, arriving at the highest point of Qingguang Island, which looked as if it had been gnawed by a giant beast. Looking around, he found that the place had turned into a scorched earth.

He arrived at what should be the last battlefield, where the teleportation array was located.

Chen Mobai saw more intense traces of battle. The ground was covered with ashes of used talismans, broken magical instruments, empty elixir porcelain bottles, and the soil had turned dark red. However, there was not a single corpse to be seen.

He walked towards the collapsed teleportation array hall, where countless blood had seeped out, staining half of the mountain red.

Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and turned to walk towards the west coast, which his team had previously guarded.

The array flag spiritual tree had already broken, lost all its spiritual light, and lay withered on the cliff.

Here, too, he could see traces of battle. It was here that Chen Mobai found the reason for the absence of corpses.

On the distant sea surface, dozens of black plague birds with red eyes were perched on the water, gnawing at the bodies of cultivators floating in the water.

It seemed that after Qingguang Island was breached, the beasts swarmed up and treated the bodies of the cultivators as food.

How many people had managed to escape through the teleportation array?

Were there any cultivators who had survived elsewhere on the island?

Were the members of his own team still alive?

As Chen Mobai pondered these questions, he squatted down on the cliff to avoid attracting the attention of the black plague birds.

He dared not stay here for long. He used a cleansing spell to eliminate all the smells on his body, then returned to the wooden hut he had dug out. After covering it up again, he returned to Di Yuan Star with a heavy heart.
