Upon hearing Yao Xu's words, the expressions of the various star officials were different, and no one responded.
The Three-Star Official, Black Butterfly Fairy, wearing a veil, made it impossible for people to see her expression. She spoke, "Let's wait!"
She was actually very curious about the relationship between Yang Jian and Qin Jun, which could make such a strong person help. It seemed that Qin Jun's identity was not simple.
"Over tens of thousands of years, can you once again be peerless in this life..." Black Butterfly Fairy thought foolishly.
...
Inside the North Vein crevice.
Qin Jun and the others quickly flew towards the underground, and at the same time, he asked in his mind, "What is the Wheel of Fate fragment, and how should I find it?"
The crevice was so long, and the light was dim. If you wanted to find a fragment, it was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
"The Wheel of Fate fragment is a fragment of the Wheel of Fate. This item can not only help the system, but also repair the Wheel of Fate hidden in your body. As long as you are within five hundred meters of it, the system will forcibly pull it over," the system replied.
The Wheel of Fate?
Qin Jun's eyes lit up. This thing had always been a mystery to him. The ancient soul had spared him because of the Wheel of Fate, and Old Yi often rambled on about the Wheel of Fate hidden in his body. But when he asked Old Yi what the Wheel of Fate was, Old Yi just dodged the topic.
"In fact, the Wheel of Fate is the imperial treasure that the host took from the Southern Zhuo Dynasty," the system's words made Qin Jun widen his eyes.
"Is it the golden compass?" Qin Jun hurriedly asked in his mind, not expecting the system to reveal the truth at this moment. Could it be because it had come into contact with the fragment of the Wheel of Fate?
After he recognized the golden compass, it had entered his body and had been silent all along. Qin Jun had almost forgotten about its existence.
"Yes, the Wheel of Fate is still in a dormant state. The Southern Zhuo Dynasty used it as a treasure of national fortune and buried it in the imperial capital."
Qin Jun suddenly realized that if the current emperor of the Southern Zhuo Dynasty, Ao Wu Jian, heard about it, he would definitely be furious.
He had missed out on such an opportunity.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking for?" Yang Jian asked through a transmission.
"I'm not sure. I feel that there is something here that is attracting me," Qin Jun replied through the transmission.
Yang Jian suddenly realized that he also had this inexplicable feeling. He had come to pay his respects to Qin Jun because of this inexplicable feeling.
Cultivators still believed in fate, especially the inevitable cause and effect between people. Anything that happened had a cause, and with a cause, there would be an effect.
Soon, a cold light suddenly flew from the darkness. It was a golden fragment, the size of a palm, tearing through the air and speeding towards Qin Jun.
Yang Jian quickly appeared in front of Qin Jun, reaching out with one hand to grab the golden fragment to prevent Qin Jun from being accidentally injured.
With a soft sound, the golden fragment cut through Yang Jian's palm, blood splattering, and then, at an even faster speed, it bypassed him and flew towards Qin Jun. Qin Jun's pupils contracted, unable to react in time.
The next second, the golden fragment entered his body, without tearing his clothes or injuring his flesh.
"Ding! Completed forced mission—snatching the Wheel of Fate fragment! Obtained a skill inheritance!"
Accompanied by the system's prompt, Qin Jun felt a warmth spreading in his abdomen.
Yang Jian turned to look at Qin Jun, his right hand trembling slightly, blood dripping from his fingertips. His expression remained calm, but inside, he was in turmoil.
As a master of profound skills, his physical body was extremely powerful, and he could even fight Sun Wukong in close combat. Ordinary divine weapons couldn't break his skin, but the golden fragment just did, and it slipped away from his hand.
"What exactly was that thing just now?"
Yang Jian was surprised, but as a proud person, he wouldn't ask, as it would be embarrassing for him.
Qin Jun touched his abdomen, feeling the warmth but not scorching heat, making him feel very warm.
"Is that all?"
Qin Jun asked in his mind, thinking that there would be some earth-shattering phenomenon.
"Yes."
The system replied coldly and fell silent, as if it had fallen asleep.
Qin Jun had no choice but to say to everyone, "Let's go, we've found what we were looking for."
Although everyone was curious about the golden fragment, they didn't dare to ask.
They flew out of the North Vein crevice in no time.
At the same time, Dongfang Ji had already disappeared without a trace. Qin Jun had noticed him earlier, and he didn't expect this kid to withstand his Samadhi True Fire. He planned to personally kill the participants, rather than relying on Yang Jian. So, since he couldn't kill Dongfang Ji for the time being, he spared his life.
When Dongfang Ji went to slaughter the other participants, and his aura was at its peak, Qin Jun would come to reap the benefits.
The group began to fly towards the sky.
...
Observatory of the Heavenly Gods.
The Great Star Official appeared out of thin air in his original position, and the other star officials immediately focused their attention on him.
"How is it?" Seven-Star Official Yao Xu quickly asked.
The Great Star Official glanced at him and casually asked, "You seem to be more anxious than me and the palace lord."
"The Observing Heaven Conference is under our supervision. Now that something has happened, we naturally cannot sit idly by," Yao Xu explained, while also mocking the Great Star Official for his inaction.
The Great Star Official snorted and then sat down slowly.
His ability to remain calm made the other star officials curse him in their hearts.
"The palace lord said that as long as there is no abnormality in the boundary spirit, we should not interfere," the Great Star Official said, scanning everyone before speaking.
"What! If we let that person stay in the Observing Heaven Realm, how many participants will die unjustly!" a fat old man, a Six-Star Official, couldn't help but stand up and scold. Among the star officials, those ranked behind the top ten basically had no say.
Yao Xu's pale face also showed anger, truly feeling that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was anxious.
"Shut up!"
The Grand Star Official exploded in anger, and in an instant, a terrifying momentum surged out, causing the entire Celestial Palace to tremble. Everyone felt a tightness in their chests and looked at him in fear.
The Black Butterfly Fairy frowned slightly, but she did not react as poorly as the other officials.
"There's no need to discuss this any further!" The Grand Star Official's tone was extremely domineering, allowing no room for dissent.
The officials all had gloomy faces, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
...
Southern Zhuo Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
Aowu Sword was reviewing memorials in the study when a eunuch quickly ran in and knelt in front of Aowu Sword, trembling as he said, "Your Majesty, there is a person outside who claims to be an envoy from the Great Qin Heavenly Court."
Great Qin Heavenly Court?
Aowu Sword's heart skipped a beat. The mention of the Great Qin filled him with a sense of foreboding.
"What is the strength of the other party?" Aowu Sword asked in a deep voice. Although he already knew that there was a Holy Dynasty above the dynasty, he had been unable to contact the Holy Dynasty, so he did not know that the Holy Dynasty no longer existed, and in its place was the Great Qin Heavenly Court.
"I'm not sure. The eight guardians of the Imperial Palace are all unable to move under his pressure," the eunuch said, trembling.
The eight guardians were established by Aowu Sword and were all at the fifth level or above of the Earth Immortal Realm, equivalent to the strongest group in the Southern Zhuo Dynasty.
"I'll go out and take a look!"
Aowu Sword got up and walked out of the study.
