My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

At least for him, he had already made a profit.

The master’s plan could be completed one step earlier.

His mood also relaxed quite a bit.

However.

It was also here.

Cheng Guang’s expression became strange.

“Old Man, what are you laughing at!”

Cheng Guang grabbed Qiu Zhiman’s head with one hand, paying no attention to the spiritual screech emitted by the plump white worms upon their death.

That spiritual screech, before it even approached him, was shattered by the Proving Dao Map in his mind.

It was like a gentle breeze on the face.

Without any discomfort.

This Old Man even attempted to attack his Primordial Spirit.

If he had not been practicing Spiritual Martial Dual Cultivation, he might have really fallen for it!

Cheng Guang’s expression remained unchanged.

He pounded his fist down again and again.

Bright red blood mixed with white thick paste flowed out, indistinguishable whether it was Qiu Zhiman’s blood or the blood from the insect bodies on him.

At first, Qiu Zhiman’s body was trembling, struggling incessantly, unsure whether he wanted to beg for mercy or something else.

Cheng Guang didn’t bother with him and kept pounding his fists into Qiu Zhiman’s body.

Juices splattered.

Cheng Guang’s handsome presence somehow held a sense of intimidation.

Not until Qiu Zhiman was silenced.

Did Cheng Guang slowly rise, then suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he took a stone statue, crafted with insects, from Qiu Zhiman’s corpse.

The moment he took the statue.

A piece of information appeared in his mind.

[Statue of Ten Thousand Bugs: Raise the body with bugs, feed the bugs with the body, when you can satiate them, they will also bring you immense benefits, but if you cannot feed them enough, you’re doomed.]

Ah, so it turns out these bugs that covered his body were transformed by a Different Treasure.

After Qiu Zhiman died, the insect bodies all over him began to degenerate.

The transparent little bugs that existed just a moment ago, lively and jumping, all died.

At the same time, Cheng Guang, sharp-eyed, also discovered a wooden ring on Qiu Zhiman’s finger.

Picking up the wooden ring revealed an average-sized space within it.

It contained many skeletal remains of the Human Race, as if all the flesh on their bodies had been devoured, leaving only the skin.

Cheng Guang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This Qiu Zhiman wasn’t up to any good indeed.

Considering the function of the Statue of Ten Thousand Bugs.

Over the years, could it be that Qiu Zhiman had been using these bugs to consume the Human Race, sustaining himself?

No wonder it’s said.

Qiu Zhiman, who was rather mediocre in the first half of his life, could grow rapidly in just a few decades later, even reaching the realm of the Martial Emperor at one point.

Unfortunately.

If he hadn’t activated the restriction that cut off the Heavenly and Earthly Qi, he probably wouldn’t have been so easily killed by me.

Cheng Guang sneered, not minding it, his gaze fixed on the wooden ring, looking for clues about the mastermind behind the scenes.

When he saw a Token, his eyes lit up.

This token seemed to symbolize some kind of identity.

It’s just that it was somewhat aged, barely recognizable.

This is…

a Crown Prince Token?

Cheng Guang’s eyes widened in surprise.

At the same time, a cold voice rang in Cheng Guang’s ear.

[Mission completed.]

[Would you like to claim your reward?]

Cheng Guang, with patience, did not claim the reward right away.

Now was not a good time to claim the reward.

He had stayed too long on Crane-Crying Island this time.

It was time to go back.

Cheng Guang found the Crystal Ball inside Qiu Zhiman’s wooden ring.

This Crystal Ball seemed to be a powerful one-time use prohibition.

Once used, it’s gone.

The way to destroy the prohibition was simple, just destroy the prohibition entity itself.

Cheng Guang lifted the Crystal Ball high and smashed it down forcefully with a bang.

The Crystal Ball shattered.

At the same time.

In the sky above Crane-Crying Island.

Zhao Jin’s face was pale, sweat dripped down his forehead, Divine glossiness flickered in his eyes as he frantically decoded, slowly dismantling the barrier.

With only one quarter-hour left before the three-quarter-hour mark, he still had one-tenth of the restriction left to decode.

He was indeed going to fail the mission given to him by Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou was always decisive.

Even though Zhao Jin had given his all, as long as the job wasn’t done, it wasn’t done.

No one would listen to his explanation.

Just thinking about it made Zhao Jin break out in a huge sweat, his entire red robe completely drenched.

All he could do now was to silently pray.

Pray that he could break the prohibition sooner.

Right at this moment.

Crack!!

A series of cracks suddenly appeared on the purple barrier.

Those cracks spread quickly!

In an instant!

Bang!

Like dazzling Ice Crystals, it exploded in all directions, turning into specks of light.

Zhao Jin was overjoyed.

Did my prayer work??

Before he could revel in his happiness, or open his mouth to say something.

A series of figures appeared beside him.

There was Emperor Zhou, Empress Wei, many strong figures from the Bureau of the Lamp, Court officials, and nobility from all houses.

Almost every figure, large and small, instantly occupied half of the airspace over Crane-Crying Island.

In the air, they searched quietly for those they cared about.

Without a word.

Zhao Jin, seeing everyone silent and not knowing what had happened inside the barrier, joyfully said, “Your Majesty, I’ve broken the barrier!”

Zhao Jin was quite proud.

In all of Great Zhou, being able to decode such a restriction in just under three quarter-hours, besides himself, Zhao Jin, there probably wasn’t a second person capable of such a feat.

As soon as Zhao Jin finished speaking, he attracted many puzzled gazes.

Zhao Jin noticed that several nobles were looking at him strangely, which almost caused him to have a pale face and flip out his orchid fingers on the spot.
