Struck It Rich

The world was like an egg. When the shell cracked open, everything inside spilled out of the world like egg fluid. The ground fractured, and all matter disintegrated into illusory energy, tumbling downward. Yu Xian, Niman, Nora, Zhang Buyao, Shui Yuetian, Little Nora, Huangquan, Margaret, and the others were all falling from different locations. The instant he left that world, Yu Xian's power surged forth from within him. Most noticeably, his hands and feet rapidly grew back, his scorched skin molted in the blink of an eye to return to its original form, and the King of the Abyss Battle Armor that had been suppressed inside his body swiftly covered him once again. "Finally out! That was way too hard." Once he recovered, Yu Xian felt a rush of excitement in his chest. He couldn't help letting out a long roar, followed by hearty laughter. He paused midair and checked the Shell of All Arts space within himself. Sure enough, none of them were inside, proving that entering Feng Laixian's memory world really had forced everyone out of his body. Of course, that posed no challenge to him now. A golden rope materialized in his hand. With a single tug, he pulled Little Nora to his side from far away. Laughing loudly, the two embraced. After they merged, he continued pulling the others in. Fortunately, after Little Nora had undergone atavism into a Victorious True King Bird, the power of their bond had also transformed, allowing the golden rope to easily pull all his contractors to his side. In the blink of an eye, Nora, Niman, and Huangquan were all hauled over. After merging with them, Yu Xian immediately flew swiftly through the air, searching for Zhang Buyao and Shui Yuetian. "My power is back! Hahahahaha..." Just then, Yu Xian spotted a Star-rank powerhouse who had previously blockaded the exit floating in midair. Though he looked somewhat bedraggled, he seemed extraordinarily thrilled. Clearly, he had suffered quite a bit in Feng Laixian's memory world. Now that his power had returned, his confidence had instantly flared back to life. Seeing him, however, only displeased Yu Xian. If it hadn't been for these brainless fools blocking the way, he would have escaped long ago and wouldn't have had to endure so much suffering. Great skill appears clumsy—Right Straight! Yu Xian flew straight toward him. By the time the Star-rank powerhouse noticed Yu Xian, all he saw was a fist. [Yu Xian, Combat Power: 5,000,000] [Gomasto, Combat Power: 800] Boom! The Star-rank powerhouse was instantly blasted into the air, a gaping hole punched clean through his abdomen. "No!" With a wretched shriek, he erupted into a brilliant firework in midair. Star-rank energy detonated, sweeping away the falling energy all around like an umbrella deflecting rain, making the surroundings clear. Yu Xian instantly locked onto the plummeting Shui Yuetian. Shui Yuetian was arguably the weakest among those who had entered this time, so the shock of the world shattering had directly knocked her unconscious, leaving her body falling like a feather. In an instant, Yu Xian flashed to her side, caught her in his arms, and with a flick of his hand sent her into the Shell of All Arts space, leaving Little Nora and the others to take good care of her. Only Zhang Buyao was left. Yu Xian glanced left and right but found no trace of her, so he had no choice but to start flying downward. He wasn't particularly worried about Zhang Buyao, though. After all, her strength was exceptionally formidable. Once out of Feng Laixian's memory world, she possessed more than enough power to protect herself and would get along just fine even without him around. Below lay a sea of white mist. After the world shattered, the energy into which matter had reverted all tumbled into it, yet no ripples or changes could be seen after their fall. Yu Xian didn't dare rush straight down. Hovering above the sea of mist, he observed carefully, his eyes shifting through several forms, but he still couldn't make heads or tails of it. "Big Brother, how about I go down and take a look? If anything feels off, you can just use your ability to pull me back up," Little Nora suggested upon seeing how cautious he was being. In Feng Laixian's memory world, neither it nor Huangquan had been able to help, so it wanted to do its part for everyone now. "No need. I'll send a clone down to check first," Yu Xian said, shaking his head. He had nearly forgotten what abilities he had. Having spent so long practicing his punches in the sea of flowers, he felt an odd unfamiliarity with many things. Fortunately, now that his Super Brain was back, he could recall anything simply by searching the information stored in his mind. At this moment, he was running his Super Brain at full throttle, retrieving every memory he had nearly forgotten and quickly re-mastering all his abilities. A clone swiftly coalesced, then plunged into the sea of mist. After breaching the mist, what lay below was actually a boundless ocean, with island after island floating upon its surface. Yu Xian even wondered just how many worlds' oceans Feng Laixian had packed away to form a sea like this. Then again, if Yu Xian had such a massive storage ring and got the chance, he would also stash away a huge amount of water. After all, water was unremarkable most of the time, but proved exceedingly useful at critical moments. If he had possessed a storage ring full of water while fighting Feng Laixian in the memory world, the battle would never have been that difficult. After confirming there was no danger, Yu Xian's true body dove down, swiftly piercing through the mist to emerge over the ocean. This wasn't actually an ocean; strictly speaking, it was Feng Laixian's reserve water supply. It was just that the water he had stockpiled was so absurdly vast that it had formed a veritable sea. At the same time, Yu Xian realized those islands weren't real islands either, but piles of miscellaneous junk heaped together. "I struck it rich! Uncle Feng was actually hiding this many treasures! They're all mine! All mine!" Zhang Buyao was currently rummaging through one of the islands, constantly hugging odd artifacts to her chest, her eyes shaped like copper coins. Yu Xian spotted Zhang Buyao immediately. He flashed onto her island. Zhang Buyao instantly spun around, clutching the oddities in her arms tightly, and said disdainfully, "This whole island is mine! Go somewhere else! Everything here is good stuff anyway." "Good stuff?" Yu Xian paid no heed to her words. He picked up a sword and inspected it, but failed to find anything special about it; in fact, it seemed rather ordinary. Zhang Buyao stepped forward and snatched the sword from his hand, huffing, "This is mine too! It's normal that you can't tell. These are all mind wondrous items. Once refined and nurtured within your divine sense, each one will turn into the weapon best suited for its owner. These are treasures crafted by the Transcender 'Zhen'! Who knew Uncle Feng had secretly hoarded so many of them? He must have participated in that legendary competition countless times!" "Then I'll go check out other places." Hearing that these things were made by a Transcender, Yu Xian's eyes lit up. Completely ignoring the rest of Zhang Buyao's words, he immediately flew off toward another island. He landed on an island adjacent to the one Zhang Buyao had claimed. Sure enough, aside from things that were no longer recognizable, there were numerous items lying around. "Everyone, come out and let's gather them together," Yu Xian said to Nora and the others. He then put away the King of the Abyss Battle Armor and simultaneously deactivated their fusion. Once everyone appeared, they began gathering all the items that could still be identified. After all, these were treasures made by a Transcender, an entire tier higher than miraculous items. The miraculous items created by the Lord of the Forest, who was merely a Mighty One, were already that overpowered. Yu Xian and the others could hardly imagine just how powerful things made by a Transcender would be. At this moment, everyone knew one thing for certain: This time, they had truly struck it rich.
