Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 186: Motives and Purposes Unclear

But who can kill him?

Those who speak ill of others through strength include Garuda, Paris, the White-Robed Corpse General, and Lord Wu'an; those who use trickery include Salang and Jiuying. That's all.

Putting aside the fact that only she and Jiuying know about this place, the possibility of it being exposed is very small, and even if it is exposed, it won't be a big problem.

After all, apart from Paris, no one had a grudge against him. Jiuying couldn't get along with such a dark creature, and there was no possibility that Jiuying would tell others about his level.

Xu Sheng felt that he had been overthinking things. Perhaps he was still traumatized after being beaten by Garuda. It was embarrassing that a top-level combatant was afraid of this and that.

Xu Sheng thought this place could be used, so he began to check the room for any methods left by Salang.

After checking, he found no evidence that Salam had tampered with the place. Instead, he discovered that there was an extra bell and one sword missing. The sword was the Eight Kings Sword, and the bell was the Bell of the Underworld.

Xu Sheng blinked.

So... Mingzhong came here after thinking about it twice?

He reached out to try and ring the bell, but lost consciousness before his hand could even touch it.

Xu Sheng immediately withdrew his hand. The moment he pulled it out, his hand returned to normal, covered with a thick layer of ice. Any later and it would have been ruined.

"It's just as outrageous as before; this is something no human could possibly come across," Xu Sheng remarked with some emotion.

He had stolen some of Mingzhong's power before, but it wasn't by him alone. Jiuying assisted him, and Jiuying's main power came from him. It was because of Xu Sheng that he was able to obtain Mingzhong's power.

Now let him discover on his own that he has no clue how to deal with Mingzhong.

He didn't even know what the Underworld Bell was, which made it impossible for him to deal with it.

"The Eight Kings Sword can command deceased rulers, and Salang, though unable to command them, can still make those deceased rulers crawl out of their graves. With the spirits outside the ancient capital and a large number of deceased rulers, his plan to ascend to godhood might actually succeed," Xu Sheng murmured.

He was well aware of Salam's plan: to use a city to ascend to godhood, but Xu Sheng knew even more about it.

That explains why Salang chose the ancient capital and Bo City. She was seeking revenge, not just randomly choosing someone. The reason for her revenge and for whom she sought revenge is simple.

Anyone who is an elderly and powerful mage who also likes to follow global news should know this.

However, most people don't even know Salam's true identity, so they can't guess why Salam chose the ancient capital.

He knew this because he was a member of the Black Vatican; probably only a few high-ranking and powerful figures among the upright people knew.

"Let's stay away from Mingzhong." Xu Sheng found a place to sit down. Because of Salang's reminder, he hadn't let his guard down. Salang wouldn't scare him for no reason, mainly because there was no need to.

That person wasn't so free; he took out the cursed spider and placed it aside as a precaution.

The cursed spider was in a bad mood. His clan had been wiped out. He was depressed, but he couldn't say anything to his master, so he could only sulk.

Xu Sheng didn't care about the cursed spider's emotions. Those things were just props; if they were destroyed, it was the props' fault, not his.

"It's a pity we can't take the treasures here with us," Xu Sheng sighed.

Jiuying once said that everything here is fake, and the only genuine item is the Eight Kings Sword. There may be other genuine items, but no one knows what they are.

If someone were to take out a fake item from here, it would cause a lot of trouble, and Lord Wu'an would eliminate that person.

No one who can enter this place is a match for Lord Wu'an, not even a fully cultivated or top-level mage.

As for forbidden spells and emperors —

That couldn't possibly appear in the ancient tomb. Garuda is an exception. Xu Sheng doesn't know what caused the change, and even Jiuying probably can't explain it.

Lord Wu'an would kill anyone who took the fake treasure, which would render the plan to take them all for screening impossible.

The Eight Kings Sword was useless to Xu Sheng. It couldn't truly command deceased rulers; it merely summoned them from the ground, rendering it utterly useless, at least to Xu Sheng.

Jiuying didn't even bother with the thing and was too lazy to take it.

Xu Sheng still doesn't understand why Jiuying entered this place, and Jiuying itself has never revealed its purpose.

There's actually not much useful stuff here.

He and Jiang Shaotian entered because of the rumor that the Nine-Headed Serpent was in the ancient tomb, while Paris came out because Salang rang the Nether Bell. As for Salang, his goal was the Eight Kings Sword.

As for the others, they came in because they thought there were treasures on the path.

In short, it was all inexplicable, the fighting was inexplicable, and no one knew what they were fighting for, at least that's what Xu Sheng thought.

His purpose—"—He had no purpose. He used to be a member of the Death Magic Association, and his purpose was to capture Jiuying. But now that his memories have returned, he is a member of the Black Church, so naturally he couldn't be that person.

Jiuying used some substances from the Underworld Bell to enhance herself, and then she set her sights on Paris...

It's hard to hold back.

"Sigh, if only I hadn't come here. I should still be a high-ranking member of the Magic Association, figuring out how to break through to the Super-Order Realm. This situation is just too miserable," Xu Sheng sighed.

He lay on the floor staring at the ceiling, bored, truly bored. Hiding from the limelight was the right choice, but there was nothing here.

There is no WiFi network, and no need for meditation.

His cultivation level has already reached its peak, and it is impossible for him to achieve a breakthrough through meditation.

He can now think of three constellations at a time, but if he wants to improve, he must improve his mental strength, otherwise he cannot do it.

The best way to improve mental strength is to cast spells on mud bricks, but that's not possible.

Let alone breaking through on his own, even if you gave him the Earth Core, it might not be possible.

This made Xu Sheng very bored.

Salang is probably figuring out how to leave this place now, and while he's at it, he might find Wu Ku. Garuda is probably locked in a fierce battle with Wu Anjun; both of them are monsters.

One is the strongest being in the realm of monarchs, and the other is the blessing of the ancient tomb twice. It can be said that no one except the emperor is a match for Lord Wu'an.

But Lord Wu'an's opponent is Garuda, the former elven emperor, who seems to have regained his former power but is unable to use it all for some reason.

Even so, it is not something a monarch can contend with; when these two clash, it is a battle feast second only to that of an emperor.

Then there's Jiuying. Xu Sheng estimated that Jiuying might be trying to figure out the Dark Gate created by Mingzhong's influence.

After all, since its appearance, Jiuying has never had a clear goal; it just goes wherever there is trouble.

The Nine-Headed Serpent, which caused the Dark Gate, is very likely to get involved, and then just watch from the sidelines most of the time.

These are some of the things Jiuying did in the ancient tomb. He did things in a mediocre way, with unclear purposes and motives. Sometimes his behavior was completely inconsistent with his personality.
