Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: A Special Fetish?

Seeing this scene, Gu Ning remained calm and was about to deal with these puppets, when Jiang Xiaobai suddenly thrust a token into her hand.

Instantly, all the puppets stopped their attacks at the same time and turned to walk back to their original positions.

The first puppet even walked up to Gu Ning and stared straight at the long spear in her hands.

“Give it back to him, why are you spacing out?” Jiang Xiaobai said from the side.

Gu Ning gave Jiang Xiaobai an annoyed look and casually tossed the long spear to the puppet, using quite some force, wanting to test how sturdy the puppet was.

To her surprise, the puppet caught the long spear steadily, without the slightest wobble in its stance, and then ran back to its original position to stand.

“What place is this, what’s so special about it, is this the main camp?”

Gu Ning raised an eyebrow and glanced at the token in her hand: “What status does this thing represent?”

Above the token was the character “Li”.

The gilded characters were majestic and powerful!

“This is the Grand Marshal’s token, one of a kind, the highest ranking one.”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, already having a guess in his mind.

These puppets attack those of mismatched identities, probably serving as guards within this building, used to determine if enemies have infiltrated.

And the token that Jiang Xiaobai just gave to Gu Ning belonged to the Pagoda Heavenly King Li Jing, and the Giant Spirit God had given him this one as well.

“Hold on, let me give the token to the others first,” he said.

After passing the token to Qin Ruonan and the others, Jiang Xiaobai then allowed them to come out safely. Seeing the resplendent golden hall, everyone sighed in admiration.

“Wow, the war tent is so splendid, it would be fitting even as a grand hall.”

Ao Cheng’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the hall: “Were people in that era all this extravagant?”

Jiang Xiaobai just touched his nose and said nothing, thinking if they knew about the millions of armors, which were considered treasures, they probably wouldn’t be so surprised by such extravagance.

“Look quickly, there are many jade slips on the desk at the front, there might be some information.”

Qin Ruonan hurried to the desk to examine the jade slips, only to find that they were all reports of battles–and all the reports were of defeats!

From the messages in these jade slips, it seemed that the warriors of that era completely crumbled, utterly unable to withstand the enemy’s onslaught!

“Eh, this information is useful…”

Qin Ruonan read aloud the message: “My troops have resisted the foreign race for three days, fought to the last man, upholding the general’s strategies, not disgracing the heavenly court, only regretting not being able to slay one more foreigner…”

“Foreign race?”

Everyone exchanged glances. Are they the same foreign race?

Combining this with the previous encounter with the beast in the underground space that had a similar vibe to prismatic space, everyone felt a chill running down their spine!

“If they really are that kind of foreign race, we may be in big trouble.”

Jiang Xiaobai said with alarm: “With the current anomalies in the celestial order, it’s highly possible it’s caused by those remnants from that time!”

“But that doesn’t make sense either, this war happened millions of years ago, after the defeat of the so-called heavenly court, the foreign race must have invaded in large numbers, what’s left for our human race?”

Qin Ruonan raised an eyebrow: “Could it be that there were some unknown events back then, or maybe the celestial order intervened, completely eradicating the foreign race?”

“Not sure, currently unraveling this mystery is like peeling an onion, we can’t see the full picture, we can only keep looking to see if there are any other useful messages.”

As Jiang Xiaobai said this, he continued to flip through the jade slips on the desk, feeling an unsettling chill in his heart.

If it really was like that, he felt like the game he was in was an unwinnable game!

Certain defeat!

The Heavenly Court couldn’t defeat it back then, can they now?

However, after rifling through the jade slips here, no more similarly useful messages could be found.

“It’s broken off again…”

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath, looked around to see if there were any other useful pieces of intelligence, but ultimately found none.

This place really did seem to be the central tent of the three armies, with only continuous war reports from various places, nothing else.

There wasn’t even a single map.

“Let’s go, to the next golden tent. There are three of these places, I refuse to believe that we can’t find anything after searching them all!”

Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly and gathered everyone into the Seven Treasures Pagoda to continue teleporting.

In the second tent, still no useful messages were found, not until the third one, where everyone emerged from the Seven Treasures Pagoda to a different sight.

This place was bigger and more splendid, and there were no less than a dozen desks inside!

Behind the most forward throne, a flag was hanging.

“Li?”

Seeing the flag, Jiang Xiaobai knew it must have been General Li who commanded here!

He was overcome with boundless emotions.

“To think that I could come to a place where General Li worked, this would be legendary if spoken of, right?”

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.

Li Jing was a second-rank official in the Heavenly Court, surpassed only by the three Pure Ones of the first-rank in terms of position.

What he said went unquestioned!

“There are many jade slips here, and a lot of items as well, look at all these special treasures…”

Qin Ruonan said as she went to look at the jade slips, while Jiang Xiaobai was no longer interested in them, instead turning to look at those treasures.

Upon a closer look, what a sight, all were Post-Heaven Treasures!

The little gourd in the storage space had already become restless, clamoring to come out and devour them all!

Jiang Xiaobai paid it no attention and examined them one by one, finding that these treasures were basically not for fighting.

They tended more towards functionality, and among them were also two merit-based sacred artifacts!

“Holy shit, are you kidding me, this thing’s property is actually devouring prism space?”

Jiang Xiaobai grabbed a merit-based sacred artifact that was the size of a house, sensed it for a moment, and was instantly dumbfounded!

The spirit within the merit-based sacred artifact still existed, albeit weakly, and upon feeling Jiang Xiaobai’s probe, it sent a thought his way.

Turns out the great upheaval of the Heavenly Court era began with the prism space, but the prism space did not appear due to a problem with the Heaven’s Way itself, it appeared out of nowhere!

The Heaven’s Way suppressed it, preventing its growth, but it couldn’t be eradicated due to another force.

Afterward, a mighty being from the Heavenly Court era took action, utilizing a portion of the Heaven’s Way’s merit to create this merit-based sacred artifact, able to use it to purify and obliterate the prism space!

Jiang Xiaobai suddenly realized that perhaps the situation back then did not necessarily require using these jade slips for investigation, as the spirits in these spiritual treasures were all witnesses to everything that happened!

At that moment, Jiang Xiaobai was overwhelmed with excitement, and immediately grabbed the other spiritual treasures to probe with his thoughts!

Qin Ruonan and the others sensed Jiang Xiaobai’s abnormality and all looked over, only to see him like a hungry wolf that’s seen a beauty, grabbing one spiritual treasure after another.

“What is he doing?”

Gong Yuxin leaned close to Gu Ning’s side and said, “So this seemingly upright guy actually has such weird quirks?”
