Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1228 - 1083: Divine Artifact War Chariot (Part 2)

But when they saw Shi Potian gesture at them to stay quiet, they thought there might be a reason for his actions, so they refrained from making any movements, yet prepared to flee at any moment.In front of them, the resentful spirit noticed countless starry lights suddenly appear in midair. After tilting its head to observe for a moment, it left.

Once the resentful spirit had truly departed, the other martial artists questioned Shi Potian, eager to understand what had just transpired.

"The resentful spirit sensed something amiss here earlier; those types of spirits are naturally suspicious. I burned that talisman on purpose to create an illusion, so the spirit would think something was exuding a faint life aura!"

The martial artists present suddenly realized the situation after hearing Shi Potian's explanation.

"Friend, please lead the way!"

One martial artist said.

"Alright!"

Knowing the place they were heading was extremely dangerous, Shi Potian advised them to be ready to withdraw at any moment.

The martial artists did not doubt Shi Potian's words, recognizing that if not for his identification of the spirit, they all might have perished.

Though they had previously battled Exotic Realm Creatures, those encounters were in the Black Hole World and with creatures of equivalent realm; the spirit ahead was of a higher realm, and they realized they were no match for it.

Under Shi Potian's guidance, the group quickly arrived at the foot of a towering mountain.

Extending his Divine Sense, Shi Potian inspected the surroundings and, finding no living creatures, sighed in relief and addressed the martial artists present: "The landscape painting is within that mountain ahead!"

Upon hearing this, the martial artists' eyes sparkled with eagerness, each desiring to obtain the landscape painting for themselves.

They knew that acquiring the painting would secure first prize in the martial arts tournament.

The elder who supervised the test had informed them that obtaining the painting would bring substantial rewards.

Thinking of the five High Grade Divine Artifacts, the martial artists felt their hearts itch with anticipation, yearning to be the first to secure the landscape painting.

Though suspicious, they found Shi Potian's Divination Skill astonishing for accurately locating the painting.

"Everyone, apart from my Divination Skill, I possess a treasure that allows me to sense the approximate location of the landscape painting! Currently, my treasure only indicates that it's ahead! We need to work hard now! Be very careful; there are likely many mechanical traps ahead!"

Shi Potian said calmly.

Hearing this, the martial artists furrowed their brows and their gazes flickered, sensing Shi Potian did not lie to them.

However, they were unaware that Shi Potian's words were meant to deter any malicious intent among them.

He knew his recent remarkable display might provoke suspicion from some.

If certain individuals believed he deliberately withheld the precise location of the painting, they would undoubtedly plot against him.

Acknowledging the perilous conditions, he certainly did not wish for betrayal from his companions.

After advancing a bit further, they realized they could not use Divine Sense any longer.

"This is bad! We can't use Divine Sense to scout here!"

One martial artist said fearfully.

Previously, their Divine Sense was limited, but they could still perceive everything within a ten-meter radius.

Now, unable to use Divine Sense at all, they could only employ Domain Power to explore within a meter radius.

Undoubtedly, their ability to foresee danger greatly diminished.

If there were mechanical traps ahead, they might not have time to react.

Duan Gujin released Domain Power, managing only to inspect a two-meter radius.

The martial artists present became exceedingly cautious, understanding that a single careless step into a Killing Array could annihilate them instantly.

Therefore, they split into two small groups, keeping two meters apart, with others following closely behind.

The leaders of one group were Shi Potian, and of the other, Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin stepped forward to avoid being hindered by the martial artists trailing him.

With the two of them leading, the others gladly followed behind.

None wanted to be the leader, aware of the inherent danger, risking being the first to fall if things went awry.

After advancing around a hundred meters, they discovered an almost complete expanse of Green Stone terrain ahead.

"Let's go around it!"

One martial artist saw the sudden appearance of the Green Stone terrain ahead and speculated about numerous mechanical traps.

"You don't understand; although there are mechanical traps on the Green Stone, we must traverse it to find the landscape painting!"

Shi Potian explained.

"Oh!"

The martial artist's eyes flickered with confusion, unable to comprehend why Shi Potian seemed so familiar with the area.

The elder in charge of testing had consistently warned them to be cautious in their search for the landscape painting.

"Could it be that Shi Potian knew about the test in advance?"

Considering this possibility, they suspected Shi Potian might have bribed the testing elder, questioning how he possessed such extensive knowledge.

"This is unfair!"

The martial artists felt indignant, believing Shi Potian had prior knowledge of the test.

However, they could do nothing at the moment.

Yet, they vowed internally to report Shi Potian once they returned.

Shi Potian took a deep breath and retrieved a Puppet War Car from his storage ring.

The other martial artists were astonished by the three-meter-high stone-crafted war car.

"What's he planning?"

They could not fathom Shi Potian's intentions.

Yet, they examined the stone war car closely, inhaling sharply.

"This person's possessions are abundant; even this war car is a Divine Artifact!"

They discerned from the car's materials that it was a Low Grade Divine Artifact.

Although the car was a Low Grade Divine Artifact, Shi Potian's display amazed them.

"Could he be the Sect Master's illegitimate son of the Eternal Divine Court? Otherwise, why does he possess so many artifacts?"

Many martial artists grumbled internally about Shi Potian.

Initially, they were grateful when Shi Potian volunteered.

But now, seeing Shi Potian's remarkable capabilities, they suspected he knew the test beforehand.

As a result, instead of gratitude, they harbored deep disdain.

After some time, Shi Potian secretly conveyed to Duan Gujin, "Brother Duan, I overheard two people planning to report me for cheating!"

"How troublesome, what should we do?"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, knowing Shi Potian had many methods and would surely retaliate if someone plotted against him.

"What can I do but flee?"

Shi Potian replied nonchalantly.

"Isn't that a bit much?"

Duan Gujin's forehead beaded with sweat.

"We're all here navigating a treacherous world, aware of the deceitful nature of humanity. I no longer wish to stay in the Ascension Academy; soon, I'll reveal my true identity to them!"

Shi Potian said indifferently.

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin understood he intended to create illusions in his Divine Soul to avoid suspicion of colluding with Shi Potian.
