When system cheat becomes rampant!

Chapter 556: The Giant Statue (Two Chapters Combined)



Before Xiang Beifei entered the Heavenly Connection realm, when he met the Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers and the Meat-Winged Monster, he did not see their Dao embryo. One reason was that Brain Deficient and Ye Ji were only in the late phase of orifice transforming, having not yet communicated with the Heavenly Dao, and another was that at the time, Xiang Beifei hadn't yet comprehended what Dao was.

As for why he initially saw the Human Race's systemic Dao embryos in Jiuzhou, it was because the Human Race's Dao embryos were relatively special, though it could also be due to modifications made by his grandfather—it was hard to say.

But now, he had acquired abilities akin to controlling a system.

He was eager to encounter the Meat-Winged Monsters and the Ghostly Visage with Ghost Whiskers of the Heavenly Connection realm again, and to thoroughly examine what Dao these two races cultivated. Back when he was in the orifice-transforming phase, he had managed to severely beat He Caiwei and Zhu Yiji, not to mention his capabilities now.

Li Qianluo's voice rang out in Xiang Beifei's mind once more: "Masters of various races at the Heavenly Connection level are familiar with each other, and your identity from the Congji Abyss is too sensitive. It's better to disguise your cultivation level as late-phase orifice transforming so as not to arise suspicion and to fish in troubled waters more effectively. You can disguise yourself, right?"

"Yes."

Xiang Beifei had truly never lost to anyone in disguising his aura; he was quite experienced in that regard.

"That's good. They have three at the Heavenly Connection level, and it's unnecessary for us to clash with them here. I'll handle it." Li Qianluo said.

"Sure." Xiang Beifei replied.

Jiao Yingguang was not aware of what Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo were communicating. He scanned both with his divine laws and discovered that the auras they exhibited were merely at the orifice-transforming phase.

"Hmph, just two orifice-transforming phase members of the Transforming Clan daring to venture into the Land of Inheritance without even communicating with the Heavenly Dao, truly overestimating themselves."

Jiao Yingguang scoffed disdainfully in his mind, but he did not show it outwardly.

He knew of the Transforming Clan's capabilities; these two might still have other uses. The Land of Inheritance was perilous, with many areas requiring exploration. Having them along, they could be used as bait in critical moments to test the path; if there was danger, their deaths would spare his own people from harm.

"Are there only two of you from the Transforming Clan here?" Jiao Yingguang asked.

Li Qianluo immediately responded, "This place is too dangerous. We got separated from our clan elders and are currently searching for them."

"I see. I happen to know the elders of your Transforming Clan. You can accompany us for now, for mutual support." Jiao Yingguang said proudly.

"That would be great, thanks." Li Qianluo cheerfully responded.

After a moment, Jiao Yingguang asked, "What's with this statue, have you figured it out yet?"

"Don't know, we just got here." Li Qianluo replied.

"Shall we go up to see what the statue looks like specifically?" she suggested, "Perhaps there's more to this statue than meets the eye?"

"Okay."

Jiao Yingguang nodded slightly and gestured to his subordinates.

Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo immediately leapt into the air, slowly flying upward, followed by the masters of the Panjiao Race.

"Do you recognize those two Heavenly Connection masters?" Li Qianluo quietly asked.

"No, I don't recognize most of the masters here." Xiang Beifei had not even known that so many masters would gather here just a few hours earlier.

"I knew you were too ill-informed. That tall, thin one with a goatee and dark face is called Jiao Shkai, and that brightly dressed woman is Jiao Dihong. Both are quite strong, and it would take quite an effort to fight them." Li Qianluo said.

"You seem to know quite a bit?"

"I did my homework before I left! I recognize almost all the Heavenly Connection masters." Li Qianluo hummed confidently.

Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised; this girl was rough around the edges but clearly meticulous and even did her homework, which was quite commendable.

Their flying speed was not fast, almost leisurely rising higher. They soon saw the statue's knees, then thighs, and then arms. The giant statue's left hand was like a Five-Finger Mountain, resting on its thigh, and even the thickness of the nails was about half a meter; Xiang Beifei even noticed a chip was missing from the fingernail of the index finger.

The craftsmanship of the statue was rough, but it retained the necessary bodily lines and textures—even the veins on the statue's arms were visible. However, the right arm was out of sight, likely too far away, obscured by the fog.

As they reached the statue's abdomen, suddenly a deep whooshing sound came from below, followed by the surrounding mist swirling, as if a shadow had flashed past!

"What was that?"

The group stopped on the statue's ribs, intently watching to the left.

Jiao Yingguang also furrowed his brows, looking into the fog, but he saw nothing.

"There was a black shadow just now."

Xiang Beifei had not discerned anything in that thick fog. He flew forward a distance, looked up, and said, "It should have gone that way."

"You two, go up and check." Jiao Yingguang said to Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo.

His tone was even, more of a coercion than a suggestion.

In his view, his commands as a Heavenly Connection stage being were not to be defied by two mere orifice-transforming members of the Transforming Clan.

Li Qianluo readily nodded: "Alright."

Xiang Beifei glanced at Jiao Yingguang and, not inclined to say much, proceeded upward. Jiao Yingguang and his companions followed closely, not taking it lightly.
