Chapter 403: Fragments of the Artifact of Creation
Since the Supreme Elder had spoken, naturally no one else would have any objection. Except for Cang Hengzi and a few others who were injured, all of them followed him out of the hall and flew directly out of the ancient city.

There was obviously a lot of commotion outside. In a mountain range in the distance, there was still a strong golden light bursting out, like a big sun, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Countless monks have sensed this huge movement and are rushing over from all directions to find out what is going on.

In this situation, either there is a battle between powerful people, or there is a rare treasure coming into the world. No matter which one it is, it will attract a lot of onlookers.

Even though people know there are many dangers, it still cannot stop their desire to explore. This is the nature of all intelligent creatures.

As they got closer, everyone could clearly feel that the temperature was getting higher and higher, almost causing a stinging sensation, and even their skin and hair seemed to be burnt.

Many people with low cultivation bases have to stop thousands of miles away. They cannot withstand the high temperatures and can easily lose their lives.

Even the people from Taiyi Sect became a little slower in their movements.

"Elder Xu, that place where the golden light shines brightly is likely to be the place where a treasure has emerged... However, it is bound to be dangerous. We still have important tasks to attend to, so we are afraid that we may lose the big picture because of the small..."

The disciple carrying the long sword was obviously of high status. Although he was always very respectful to the middle-aged Taoist named Xu, he was the only one who dared to make suggestions at the critical moment.

Taoist Xu nodded when he heard this, and when they were about 800 miles away from the golden light, he waved his hand to ask everyone to stop.

Just when everyone thought that the other party was going to give up the exploration, the middle-aged Taoist turned his gaze back to Chai Xin, who had always been on the periphery.

His dignified face actually showed a rare hint of gentleness, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly walked to Chai Xin and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Hengyu, don't you want to join our Taiyi Sect? Here is a great merit that can not only ensure your successful entry, but also gain you a good status!"

When people who were familiar with Elder Xu saw his expression, they couldn't help but secretly curl their lips, knowing that this old guy was going to start cheating people again.

But since the person being tricked now is an unrelated person, they are too lazy to make trouble and naturally just watch from the sidelines, as if they are unaware of anything.

Chai Xin's heart moved, and he made some guesses about the plans of the person in front of him, and at the same time he also had some understanding of his character.

This old fellow planned to use people as a gun without saying a word, so he was obviously not a good person - of course, how could an old fellow who could cultivate to such a level be a good person!
However, Chai Xin was already very interested in the secret of the golden light in the distance and wanted to get a glimpse of it. He was worried that this would arouse suspicion among others and cause the infiltration plan to fail.

Now that the old thief was planning to use him as a test stone, it was exactly what he wanted.

However, you must not appear too positive, otherwise you will be suspected.

People are often so mean. If you rush forward when something happens, others will suspect that you have other intentions; but if you are extremely reluctant and are eventually pushed forward with great difficulty, everyone will be happy to see it happen.

"This... I don't know what advice the elder has. Please forgive my stupidity and speak clearly!" Chai Xin glanced at the golden area in the distance, his eyes intentionally revealing a look of entanglement and embarrassment.

"Hey! This is a rare opportunity. I am giving you the chance because I see that you are kind-hearted and have saved the lives of many of my Taiyi Sect disciples. You don't have to hesitate!"

Elder Xu stepped closer, patted Chai Xin on the shoulder, pointed at the golden light in the distance, and had a kind smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"I suspect that this golden light is related to the incident that happened to my Taiyi Sect's disciples in the Netherworld... If you can find out the truth, and with my recommendation, you will surely be recognized by the sect's senior leaders."

"This... This place is still nearly a thousand miles away from the golden light, and the temperature is already so high. If I get closer, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't hold on..."

Chai Xin certainly knew the principle of putting on a good show. The more hesitant he appeared at the moment, the more trust he would gain when he returned successful later.

Hearing what he said, Elder Xu's expression darkened a little, and the smile on his face faded a lot. He said coldly: "It seems that Daoyou's sincere desire to join our Taiyi Sect may not be as sincere as you said before! In this case, I will not force you..."

To say this is already very serious.

Chai Xin immediately showed a look of panic, gritted his teeth and clasped his fists, saying: "Since the elder can be of use to me, I will certainly serve you, but if there is any danger, I hope the elder can rescue me!"

"Hahaha! Good! Don't worry, I have high hopes for you and I will certainly not let you go and die. Here, this 'Xuanming Treasure Mirror' will protect you. It contains a divine thought from me, which is enough to save your life even if you encounter danger!"

Elder Xu changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book, and quickly put on a smile again. He flipped his hand and produced an ancient bronze mirror, which fell on Chai Xin's waist and automatically attached to the hem of his clothes.

Chai Xin lowered his head and glanced at the so-called Xuanming Treasure Mirror, a sneer flashed in his eyes, knowing that this was the other party's means of surveillance to prevent him from getting the treasure and escaping without handing it in.

But he did not show any resistance, instead he was extremely happy and grateful and said: "Thank you for your generous gift, Elder. I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

After saying that, the figure turned into a stream of light and quickly flew towards the golden area.

After he left, everyone in Taiyi Sect began to smile with contempt.

"Hahaha, that country bumpkin who has never seen the world actually thought that was a treasure for protection!"

"Elder Xu is really smart. With that kid blazing the trail, we only need to follow behind and walk leisurely. We can avoid danger and collect benefits. This will greatly improve safety!"

Amid the crowd's flattery, even Elder Xu, a man who never showed his emotions, couldn't help but smile.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is a test for him... If he can really make a contribution, it shows that he is sincere. I will recommend him, so what's wrong with that? This is a test from God, and I am just going with the flow."

Elder Xu stroked his long beard calmly, with a nonchalant look on his face, but the arrogance in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was clearly visible to everyone.

"Elder Xu is truly a man of great talent! This move can not only find out whether this incident is related to the battle in the Netherworld, but also explore whether there are any rare treasures in it. Moreover, it can also help the sect to examine the character of Taoist Hengyu. It really kills three birds with one stone!"

"The elder is indeed an elder. His thoughts are so profound that we cannot compare with him!"

The disciples flattered him again, making Elder Xu feel very comfortable.

"Okay, that little guy has almost entered the golden light area. Let's see what's going on inside."

Elder Xu stroked the air with his palm, and suddenly a light curtain about a foot square appeared out of thin air, on which appeared everything that Chai Xin saw.

Everyone fell silent immediately, and their eyes fell on the light curtain.

However, they did not know that all the images transmitted on the light screen were actually scenes from two minutes ago.

He has the Jade of Creation to protect him, so what magical tools and powers does he have to be able to monitor and spy successfully?
In fact, the Creation Jade delayed the transmission of the Mysterious Nether Mirror, and the scene they saw now was already two minutes ago, not a real-time broadcast. In this way, if there was a scene that Chai Xin didn't want them to see, the transmission could be cut off immediately, or replaced with a false picture.

"It's really unexpected that this golden area is actually a world of its own, a vast desert."

After using various means of investigation, Chai Xin has concluded that this desert world was indeed formed not long ago, and it seemed to have appeared with the loud noise just now.

There are quite a few people who rush here in search of treasure, but they seem insignificant when they fall into the boundless desert world.

At least as far as he could see, he didn't see any figure.

The sun cannot be seen in the desert, but everywhere is golden. Invisible true fire fills every inch of space, and the surrounding fairy air is extremely hot.

"What an amazing desert world! Not only is it extremely vast, but the temperature is also so high!"

Suddenly, several figures appeared out of nowhere and landed not far in front of Chai Xin, as if they had just arrived from the outside world.

“Even if we have the power of Golden Immortals and can tear through the void to fly, I’m afraid that without several years in the heavenly realm, we can’t cross it. If it were a Mystical Immortal here, I’m afraid it wouldn’t take more than a few days for him to be refined to death by the Great Sun True Fire!”

“Needless to say, this is a small world born from the fragments of the divine artifact of creation. How can its power be ordinary? You all should follow me closely, otherwise you will get lost in the depths of this world, and even a Golden Immortal will die!”

A young man wearing silver armor and shrouded in a faint white light slowly spoke and warned the others not to move around casually.

This group of people includes three men and two women, all of them have extraordinary bearings, and the lowest one has the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

"This time, the five of us brothers and sisters finally got a great treasure from a dangerous place, but we didn't expect it to escape here. We don't know how many masters will covet it. It's really unlucky!"

A bright and pretty girl looks cute and charming even when she complains.

"Don't complain. This is a remote place. How many experts can there be? I have seen that the first ones who came here are just immortals and mystical immortals. We don't need to deal with them at all. They will die naturally in this vast desert!"

The other woman looked older, had a temperament as sharp as a knife, was more beautiful, and had a heroic air in her every move.

"Yes, we have the Luotian Divine Disk in our hands, and we arrived quickly. Even if there are other masters coming later, they will only be defeated!"

"Hurry up and activate the Luotian Divine Disk. The fragments of the Creation Artifact are of great value. We must get them as soon as possible. Otherwise, there is no telling what powerful existence will be attracted!"

The five people discussed for a while, and then saw the young man in silver armor took out a plate and began to deduce the direction. The other four turned their heads at the same time and their eyes fell on Chai Xin.

"Fragments of the divine artifact of creation?!"

The moment he heard these words, Chai Xin cut off the connection with the Xuanming Treasure Mirror on his body without hesitation, preventing this surveillance magic weapon from transmitting any information.

The artifact of creation is superior to the king-grade and holy-grade immortal artifacts. Even the legendary Heavenly Sovereign would be jealous of it.

Even if it is just a fragment, it can cause all the top forces to fight fiercely!

How could the news of such a precious treasure be known to Elder Xu and others?
For Chai Xin, the fragments of the artifact of creation are the best material to be integrated into the Xuanhuang Seal to make it more powerful. Even if it means interrupting his original plan to infiltrate Taiyi Sect, he must get it!

"Poor boy, I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky, you actually heard the conversation between us brothers and sisters..."

The pretty girl put one hand on her waist, her big watery eyes looking at Chai Xin lovingly, her rosy little mouth actually raised a slightly charming smile.

"Alright Ling'er, there's no time for you to play around, go and take care of that kid. There must be no chance of any leakage of information about the fragments of the Creation Artifact."

"That's right. This kid actually showed up here. We can only blame him for being greedy... A guy who is not even a Golden Immortal dares to come and forge the fragments of a divine weapon. Isn't this courting death?"

The other few people looked indifferent. They just glanced at Chai Xin, made a few disdainful remarks, and then no longer paid attention to him.

Only the girl called Ling'er seemed to be playful by nature. She giggled when she heard the words and jumped to Chai Xin.

She looked at Chai Xin carefully for a while, and then said in a delicate voice with regret: "It's a pity that I have important things to do, so I can't play with you... It's also because we are not destined to be together..."

The tone of his voice sounded as if he was speaking sweet words to an enemy from past lives.

But the cold murderous intent hidden beneath this soft voice made anyone who heard it feel creepy.

As she spoke, the girl Ling'er stretched out her delicate white jade palm and gently stroked Chai Xin's head.

If you only look at the posture, it doesn't look like she is going to kill someone, but rather like she is wiping the sweat off her lover.

"If I were you, I wouldn't approach a stranger like this."

Chai Xin, who had remained silent and watched coldly, suddenly crossed his arms and spoke softly.

His eyes were only fixed on the Luopan magic weapon in the hands of the silver-armored young man in the distance, and he didn't even look at the girl in front of him who was dressed very cleanly and lovely.

Everyone saw that he had a dazed look in his eyes and didn't say a word. They thought he was frightened by their sudden appearance. Now when they heard him speak, they were all stunned.

The girl Ling'er's body froze, her hands paused in mid-air, the smile on her face froze for a moment, then slowly recovered, she said with a half-smile: "I didn't expect that you are such a courageous man, it really makes my heart beat..."

As she spoke, her slender hand continued to move forward, about to land on Chai Xin's face.

"court death."

Chai Xin finally withdrew his gaze and fell on the girl in front of him, like a sharp sword, piercing the other's heart.

"what!!"

The girl Ling'er suddenly froze again and let out a miserable scream. Bright red blood gushed out from her bright eyes, and she looked extremely miserable!
