Chapter 2734 - Capital Coordinates
"What the...." The straw hut was situated at an incredibly weird spot. When Tianming saw some odd-shaped light of a weird color wiggle around, even an astral G.o.d like him couldn"t help but cry out. He tried jumping away, but it was too late. Fortunately, he was only there in his caelum form, so it was just like dreaming. At that thought, he relaxed and let that thing crawl up his back along his spine.
"What in the world?" The last time Tianming"s caelum had been marked was when he’d entered the Darkfiend City. Later, Wu You had removed the stigma for him. Eventually, that beam of light turned into a marking along his spine. "Is that thing the imperial-cla.s.s divine wonder itself, or just something that can help me find it?"
Tianming didn"t get it at all. Voidback City was part of the wondersky realm that had been built by the divine wonderians, so only caeli could enter, not physical objects. Divine wonders, on the other hand, usually had physical embryo forms. In fact, the base of the wondersky realms was the Perpetual Wondersky Realm Formation of the Xenoworld.
Given that divine wonders were also formations, there was the possibility that they could be hidden within the Perpetual Wondersky Realm Formation as divine celestial patterns. But even so, Tianming"s caelum alone couldn"t inherit those patterns, divine wonder or not. He wouldn"t be able to bring it back to the Sun, either.
The voice of the old man answered his unspoken questions. "The coordinates of the imperial-cla.s.s divine wonder have been engraved on your caelum. Use any entrance to the Xenoworld and the coordinates will guide you to a place called the Xenoabyss. You’ll be able to inherit the divine wonder and learn secrets about the divine wondersky race at the capital of Antiquitas Mortis!"
Tianming rolled his eyes after hearing that. It only made sense that the divine wonder wasn"t in Voidback City; he hadn"t held much hope for that in the first place.
"The capital, eh...." It just so happened that that was his destination. "Does this mean I can instantly be teleported to the capital with these coordinates?" It would take a few more years to travel using Meow Meow alone. If he could save that much time, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
"I have another Xenoabyss marker out there in the real world. If I have two of them, I wonder where I"ll be directed to.... Would they conflict with each other?" Fortunately for him, the wondersky fairy was waiting outside and couldn"t hear his mumbling.
"Young one, go! Everything you want to know is in the capital! That’s where you will rise and soar! Make sure to use the divine wonder I left behind to destroy the divine wonderians to right the wrong they’ve committed on my kind!" Old Man Voidback said.
"Old man, I wanted to ask you whether two markers will conflict," Tianming said.
"Remember! There is no coexistence with the divine wonderians!" roared the voice.
Tianming only just recalled that this man had probably been dead for eons and his voice was probably just a recording. "So you"re telling me that the only thing I got after coming all this way to Voidback City is a single marker...."
He rolled his eyes. The old man had promised that he would obtain a divine wonder if he entered the wondersky realm, then it changed to the Skydome Battlefield, and after that, Voidback City. But now he had to go to the Xenoabyss. He would"ve flipped out had he not already planned to go there beforehand.
"Calm down... good things take time. As for whether or not the markers will conflict with one another, I"ll have to try to find out. Sixth also said that there was something in Voidback City that it wanted. I wonder if it was referring to this divine wonder. If not, I doubt it"ll have an easy time finding me here, given how large it is." He took a deep breath, properly pulled his pants up, and kicked open the straw hut"s door.
"Master, you were squatting there for quite a long time. I"ve been waiting so long that I"m about to go right here," the fairy said with a blus.h.i.+ng face.
"Well, say so next time. You can use it now," Tianming said.
The wondersky fairy seemed surprised that he took the joke seriously. How could a pile of divine celestial patterns use the toilet? Tianming gave it a funny look and vanished, returning to the real world.
"Master!" No matter how much the wondersky fairy called out, it wasn"t able to get him back. When his figure completely vanished, its face stiffened for a moment before it laughed maniacally, adopting a completely different aura and a much deeper gaze. "This... is really fun! Hehehe...."
......
"The wondersky realm is amazing. My totems were destroyed and Ji Ji self-destructed, but everything goes back to normal once I leave it." It was different from the Xenoabyss, which was much more dangerous than the astralscape of order. If the tether tied to his ankle was severed, there was a chance that he would never be able to return. Tianming checked his caelum and did in fact find a brownish-yellow marking on it.
"Are you going now, Big Brother?" Feiling asked.
"Yeah. Let"s go to the solar core. Hold the rope for me while I go in." Tianming couldn"t wait to go to where the coordinates pointed to. With the interdimensional line properly tied, he kissed her goodbye. I bet it isn’t easy on her, having to wait for me here while I risk myself in there. He made sure to act jovial to take some of the worry off her shoulders.
"I"ll be waiting," Feiling said.
"Make sure to keep it clean for when I return," Tianming said. He jumped into the vortex as she flushed with embarra.s.sment. Almost right away, the marker took effect.
Tianming made sure to keep the Moonfang Marker in his spatial ring so it wouldn"t guide him. Instead, he focused his attention on his caelum.
"Ideally, I want to save the coordinates of the capital into the Moonfang Marker when I arrive. If both markers are set to the same location, I won"t have to worry about a conflict!"
He was surprised to find that the marker on his caelum actually worked and he was being pulled away. Eventually, he saw the sea of white clouds again. So far, he couldn"t be sure of whether he was going to the capital, or his previous location.
