Creation of the Universe

Nothing happened that night, and the next day dawned in the blink of an eye.

Shen Zhan heard heavy and steady footsteps coming up the stairs. He couldn't mistake that aura; it was Wang Tonghai.

There were three other people following Wang Tonghai. Through the crack in the door, I saw that they were exhausted and had obviously not returned home all night. I don't know what they had been doing.

After entering the house, he never came out again, just like yesterday.

"The Wang group is acting mysteriously. I don't know what they are busy with. Is it necessary to investigate?"

Chu Qiu saw that Shen Zhan was paying special attention to their every move, so he made a suggestion.

"What good ideas do you have?"

“It only takes one page.”

Chu Qiu raised the corner of his mouth, and calmly took out a book in front of Shen Zhan and placed it neatly on the table.

When Shen Zhan saw the book, he immediately realized, "It's been so long since I saw you use it that I didn't even think of it."

After saying that, Shen Zhan also laughed.

Chu Qiu stretched out his ten slender fingers and spread out the book in the air. However, when the spiritual power slowly fluctuated, the pages of the book turned quickly, but there was not even a single word on it.

Could it be that this book is completely blank and has no content at all?

Then, Chu Qiu's fingers began to fly up and down, as if he was making something, but there was nothing in his hands. He was just condensing a tiny amount of spiritual power. If you didn't feel it carefully, you could hardly feel the existence of this power.

After a while, Chu Qiu stopped moving his hands, and on the table, a spider made of white paper was moving its eight long, thin legs.

The spider is alive!

Chu Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Go ahead, let's listen to what the people in that room are saying."

After receiving the order, the spider jumped onto the beam and crawled silently towards the house where Wang Tonghai and others were.

This method is unique to Chu Qiu. Just like his 'One Word Painting Technique', he suddenly gained enlightenment while reading. This shows how terrifying his talent is.

After a while, the spider successfully entered the room and lay on the beam waiting for an opportunity to gather information.

The soft spiritual power in Chu Qiu's hand swirled back and forth between his ten fingers like a gurgling stream, and at the same time, the voices of the people in the room could be heard.

"We gathered information last night. This person should have sneaked into Yingtian City. However, he is very cautious and has left no trace. It may not be easy to find his hiding place in such a short time."

The person who was speaking was Wang Tonghai, and the matter they were talking about seemed mysterious and had a hidden meaning.

So Shen Zhan and Chu Qiu listened attentively, fearing that they would miss any key information.

Another person said in a gruff voice, "I heard he's just a nameless, unaffiliated cultivator. How could he be so lucky as to obtain that supreme treasure? I've always been skeptical about this matter. Maybe it's just hearsay."

"Second brother, regardless of whether it's true or not, we have to investigate thoroughly. If it is really that thing, our Lingzhou Wang family must obtain it and must not let other forces get the upper hand."

"I think what Eighth Brother said is right. Right now, various forces are converging on Yingtian City. After all, this thing is hard to come by, and no one will let it go easily."

Hearing these people talking and calling each other brothers, Shen Zhan immediately thought of the famous eight guards of the Wang family in Lingzhou. Except for Kong Shang who was killed by him, there are still seven of them left.

He suspected that the people sitting in the room were five of the eight guards, and together with Wang Tonghai, the number of people matched the number they saw yesterday.

"Second Young Master, what should we do next?"

Wang Tonghai's voice rang out again, "Don't worry. This man holds such valuable bargaining chips in his hands. He knows very well that once he enters Yingtian City, he will attract countless people to covet him. Therefore, he will not easily show up for the time being. We just need to wait patiently for the opportunity. There is no need to rush.

Besides, there's no shortage of buyers for that thing. If I were him, I could just wait for the price to rise and reap the profits."

"That's right, Second Young Master is absolutely right. Even if we can't rob him openly, we can have Princess Anping represent the Jinning Palace and offer a high price to lure him out. Then we can wait for the right opportunity to take action and we will definitely be able to capture him!"

At this moment, Wang Tonghai suddenly raised his head and scanned the roof with his sharp eyes.

"What's wrong, Second Young Master? Is there something wrong?"

Wang Tonghai replied in a deep voice, "No, it's okay. We will continue to stay here. There are many people living in this inn who have the same purpose as us, so we must pay attention to their movements. This way we can seize the initiative and get the upper hand."

Chu Qiu slowly retracted the spider, which seemed to have a spirit. It jumped down from the beam and crawled back into his palm.

"Brother, from what these people are saying, their purpose in coming to Yingtian should be to steal something from someone, and this thing must be something extraordinary. Can we get involved?

Since you said that the Wang family has now become your mortal enemy, then you must not let them get what they want."

Shen Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Well, Wang Tonghai is someone I must kill. It seems that if I run into him again here, it means that God has destined him to die at my hands."

"Looks like there's a fight to be had. If Meng Zhong and the others knew about this, they would definitely be very happy."

Chu Qiu had just finished speaking when a bird suddenly flew in from the half-open window and began circling back and forth in the room.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was not a living creature, but a paper crane folded out of paper.

Chu Qiu was immediately puzzled. "It looks like Old Meng and the others are here too, but shouldn't they be looking for the Thousand-Year Immortality Root? Why would they suddenly come to Yingtian to look for us?"

It seems that this question can only be clarified after meeting Meng Zhong in person.

But Shen Zhan thought about it and suddenly understood, "You said that Lao Meng and the others went to look for the Thousand-Year Immortality Root, but ended up finding this place. What does this mean?"

"Brother, what you mean is... could it really be like this? There are too many coincidences in this world!"

Chu Qiu understood what Shen Zhan meant. He suspected that the treasure mentioned by Wang Tonghai and others might be the eternal root they were looking for.

Meng Zhong and Zhao Tiange had been searching for the Ten Thousand Years Root of Immortality all the way, and came here after learning that there was a clue here. If you think about it this way, the whole thing makes sense.

"If that's the case, then it's a piece of cake. Hu Meng is saved!"

Chu Qiu stood up happily. "It seems that Yingtian City is experiencing undercurrents due to the emergence of the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Root. This is the time for us to show our skills!"
