On the golden bricks piled in the pit, which shone brilliantly, were carved the words: Refined by Cheng Xiaofan!
Cheng Xiaofan was somewhat stunned. Was the other him too careless? He refined such excellent golden bricks and just casually buried them in a pit?
By estimation, these golden bricks weighed at least over three hundred tons.
To build an ideal golden tower in the heart of the primeval forest in the back mountain, this would certainly not be enough.
However, it was many times more than the gold he had stored in his spatial dimension.
With a wave of his hand, all the gold piled in the pit entered his spatial dimension again.
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was about to leave, he subconsciously stopped.
He turned back, his Dragon Eyes'透视 (tòushì - clairvoyance/penetrating vision) scanning the surroundings in the pit. Suddenly, he discovered that on one side of the pit, three human corpses were also buried.
Besides these three corpses, the wreckage of some kind of flying vehicle was piled nearby.
This discovery stunned Cheng Xiaofan on the spot.
Boom!
He used his Dragon Power again to dig through the earth, moving the three corpses and the wreckage of the flying vehicle in front of him.
The three corpses had already become typical mummies, their faces completely unrecognizable.
One of the corpses was clutching a long sword forged from Xuan Steel.
Cheng Xiaofan bent down, took the sword in his hand, and drew it from its scabbard. A dazzling stream of light flashed, and he clearly saw three characters carved on it: Yanhuang Cosmic Sword.
Yanhuang!
For Chinese people, weren't they all descendants of Yanhuang?
Could it be that all this gold was not refined by his other self?
Instead, were these three people specifically ordered by his other self to come here and refine it?
Then the question arose: why did his other self order these three people to specially come to this planet, refine gold, and carve Cheng Xiaofan's name on it? What was the purpose of this?
Why did these three people die here?
On his way here, if he hadn't absorbed the gold in his spatial dimension to transform into energy in his body, he wouldn't have been able to reach this planet.
Was there some kind of resonance between golds?
If that were the case, then his asking the Sky Breaking Eagle to land on this planet was, in a way, a so-called law of mutual attraction of gold.
This could also be interpreted as his other self having already predicted that he would eventually find this place.
One thing was clear: these three people were likely typical alchemists.
Pity!
These three had been dead for too long. Their bodies were like dry, hard wood. Moreover, due to the environmental limitations of this planet, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't determine the reason for their deaths here.
Only the Yanhuang Cosmic Sword was as radiant and dazzling as if it had just been forged.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan put the Yanhuang Cosmic Sword into his spatial dimension.
As for the wreckage of the flying vehicle, it had been shattered into pieces of various sizes, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made from.
The reason Cheng Xiaofan was certain it was wreckage of a flying vehicle was because the overall shape still showed a rough outline.
Boom!
Cheng Xiaofan used his Dragon Power to push the surrounding sand and soil into the pit, filling it.
Next, he used stones to build a large tomb for the three mummified bodies.
In front of the tomb, Cheng Xiaofan erected a tall stone tablet.
Whoosh!
A burst of energy shot towards the stone tablet.
As Cheng Xiaofan moved his index finger, the stone tablet was immediately carved with a line of text: Tomb of the Yanhuang Alchemists.
Below it was inscribed: Carved by Cheng Xiaofan!
After completing these tasks, Cheng Xiaofan asked the Sky Eagle, "Sky Breaking Eagle, are you rested?"
"Master, I am rested!" the Sky Breaking Eagle immediately replied.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Then let's set off!"
Jeeeee—
The Sky Breaking Eagle let out a clear, long cry, carrying Cheng Xiaofan like a bolt of lightning across the sky, flying forward.
The lifeless death planet was instantly left behind, disappearing from sight.
Boom!
After flying for an unknown duration, a loud noise echoed from the depths of the universe, and an invisible force swept over.
It immediately halted the Sky Breaking Eagle's flight.
"Master, we can't fly any further!" the Sky Breaking Eagle said to Cheng Xiaofan urgently.
Cheng Xiaofan looked up and saw a huge energy wall suddenly appear before them.
The energy wall was filled with an indescribable, bizarre demonic aura. The wall pulsed with light that seemed to surge like tides.
Even Cheng Xiaofan's Dragon Eyes'透视 (tòushì - clairvoyance/penetrating vision) could not penetrate this energy wall.
At this moment, a line of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
After reading that line of information, Cheng Xiaofan finally understood that the Sky Breaking Eagle carrying him had flown to the edge of the universe.
To put it plainly, what appeared before them was a cosmic edge wall.
Just like a border between countries, this energy wall separated the passage between one universe and another.
This was to prevent the planets of the two universes from wandering around indiscriminately.
It's over!
He couldn't just stop here, could he?
According to Cheng Xiaofan's feelings, his other self was in a world in the opposite universe.
Huh!
How strange!
How did those three alchemists travel from another universe to here?
At this thought, Cheng Xiaofan suddenly remembered the Yanhuang Cosmic Sword!
Whoosh!
He immediately retrieved the sword from his spatial dimension.
With a *ding*, the sword was drawn.
Cheng Xiaofan brandished the sword and thrust it towards the energy wall.
Boom!
With a loud roar.
The energy wall split in two from where the sword pierced, opening a gate.
He hadn't expected this Yanhuang Cosmic Sword to be able to open the cosmic energy wall.
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed triumphantly and said, "Fortunately, I'm quick-witted and could think of the special use of the Yanhuang Cosmic Sword at this critical moment!"
"Master, you are too amazing!" The Sky Breaking Eagle couldn't find any adjectives to praise its master.
This flattering remark made Cheng Xiaofan beam with joy.
During this solitary journey, hearing such words was indeed very pleasing to Cheng Xiaofan.
"Sky Breaking Eagle, let's go!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile.
Jeeeee—
The Sky Breaking Eagle carried Cheng Xiaofan towards another universe.
This energy wall was very thick. At a glance, it was just a passage, and the exit was completely invisible.
Inside the energy wall, the resistance was immense, and the Sky Breaking Eagle could only fly at a reduced speed.
After finally passing through the passage of the energy wall, when they looked back, with a rumble, the gate of the energy wall closed again.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan found that the universe before him was not much different from the universe on the other side of the energy. The universe was filled with nebulae.
Flying all the way, Cheng Xiaofan, guided by his senses, felt that the planet where his other self resided was not far away.
He still didn't know how many light-years it would take to reach that planet.
...
Yanhuang Planet.
In a secret chamber on this planet, a young man and woman were locked within an energy field.
The man looked exactly like Cheng Xiaofan, as if carved from the same mold, except that his complexion was overly pale, as if devoid of any blood.
The young woman was a beauty of unparalleled magnificence, indescribably beautiful.
The two appeared to have no life force at all. If it weren't for a thread of vital energy entwined around them, they would seem dead.
"My dear, I feel that my other self is about to arrive on this planet!" the young man transmitted his thoughts to the young woman through spiritual sense.
The young woman responded with spiritual sense, "Xiaofan, I believe in your sense of perception. I'm afraid that even if your other self comes, it will be difficult to find us!"
