Chapter 114: Asteroid - 114
Along with the spatial ring and the papers, Zhou Fan decided to put an enemy inside the asteroid. Whenever it hit the ground, the asteroid would release the enemies and the people of the Zhou World would have to fight them off in order to get inside.
However, Zhou Fan was struggling to think of an appropriate enemy. Something that he had made before wouldn't be that much of a challenge since almost all the monsters and animals within the Zhou World had been found.
Therefore, Zhou Fan decided to make a new type of species. They would be humanoid, but their skin would be gray and their faces would be twisted. They would also have other abnormalities such as long and skinny arms and holes in their chest.
In other words, it would be the personification of a nightmare. It would be an extremely scary existence. Of course, they would be a one time thing.
Zhou Fan started by putting a thousand core formation level beings in there, along with 100 nascent soul, 20 soul formation and 5 void traversing, with the highest being at void traversing 8. He would call the species corpse walkers since they would look like walking corpses.
After putting all the enemies inside, Zhou Fan sent the asteroid hurling towards the ground. As soon as it broke through the atmosphere, every void traversing cultivator sensed it.
Not a single one stayed still as they all flew towards it. The first one to arrive was the dragon king in humanoid form, followed by anna, the monkey king, the titanosaur in humanoid form, and the remaining void traversing cultivators.
They all huddled around the giant rock and watched it start to crack. Sensing something wrong, Anna and the other rulers sent messages towards their subordinates to come to the area.
As soon as they finished, a huge crack appeared in the rock and it split in half, leaving some empty space and a smaller rock in the middle area. The rulers watched as the dust cleared and thousands of silhouettes appeared.
At the front was a disgusting humanoid creature with a cultivation equal to that of Anna and the dragon kings. The corpse walkers didn't waste a moment once they sensed a living being and shot out towards the first person they saw.
Anna deployed an ice wall that blocked the first attacks of many of the corpse walkers, but the strongest corpse walker clawed at the wall and immediately shattered it. It then shot towards the closest person, Anna.
Anna formed an ice sword in less than a second and slashed towards the corpse walkers claw. They collided and surprisingly, anna was pushed back! The ice sword started to crack, but Anna formed another ice sword in her hand and slashed towards the corpse walker's neck.
Due to it not having much intelligence and being fully focused on eating anna, the sword reached its neck without interruption and went 3 inches deep before it was stopped by an incredibly hard bone.
The corpse walker didn't even react and continued to attack Anna, causing her to have to step back a lot. The fact that it wouldn't retreat was both an advantage and a disadvantage to the rulers.
Luckily for Anna, the dragon king saw her situation worsen and shot up in the air, before dropping down and throwing a spike of fire into the corpse walker's back.
It immediately screamed in pain and tried to reach at its back. Just as it was about to get its hands on it, the spike exploded and caused a condensed sphere of flames to disintegrate anything within it. The sphere of flames stopped right before Anna and she finally was able to catch a breather without the corpse walker chasing her.
As she looked around and saw the other void traversing corpse walkers giving the rest of the void traversing cultivators a hard time, she shot off and helped them.
As for the dragon king, he stayed and watched until the flames dissipated, revealing a severely injured corpse walker. He walked up to it after sensing it was unable to move an inch, and swiftly put his hand up in the air before throwing it down like he was launching a ball towards the ground.
Inches behind his hand was a giant pillar of flames that engulfed the injured corpse walker, burning it to ashes immediately.
After another minute or two, many soul formation cultivators showed up and helped finish off the rest of the corpse walkers. The battlefield was quickly cleaned up and the rulers walked towards the remaining bit of asteroid.
Anna led them as she made a hole they could walk through. The group entered the center and found flat ground. In the middle of the dirt brown room was a pedestal that seemed like a tree stump made of dirt.
On top of it were papers and a ring. Anna walked up and picked up the papers, completely ignoring the ring. That only lasted a second as she read the papers and realized the functions of the ring.
"Read this." She said, handing the papers to the dragon king next to her and going up to the ring. She picked it up and put it on her finger.
At that time the dragon king had finished reading the papers.
"Do you think the ring does what these papers claim?" He asked in a solemn tone, handing the papers to the other two rulers behind him.
"I'm not sure, but if they do it will change our world." Anna responded while channeling Qi into the ring as the papers said.
The ring didn't change a bit, but a tenth of Anna's mind had been transferred to the space inside the ring.
'Wow!' She thought to herself. This was the first time she had ever seen something like an independant space.
"What is it like?" The dragon king asked, bringing Anna out of her stupor.
"It looks like space without stars. It's beautiful, but the ring only contains the space of a single room." She said.
It was exactly as the papers said.
'But where did this come from?' She asked herself, feeling a seed of fear and doubt sprouting within her.
Chapter 115: Treasure - 115
"Let's follow the map and collect the space stones." Anna said.
One of the papers she had picked up had been a treasure map that showed where the treasure was and what it contained.
As they walked towards the location of the treasure, Anna couldn't stop herself from thinking more and more.
'Why is there a treasure map from outer space that leads to a place on OUR planet? It's completely illogical. It's as if someone is handing them to us.' Anna couldn't shake the feeling that everything that had happened was the doing of someone else.
Anna continued to think to herself until the group of void traversing cultivators reached the mountain the treasure was under.
"Anna....Anna.....ANNA!" The dragon king screamed, putting his hand on her shoulder with the last call.
Anna flinched out of her stupor and realized that they had reached the place the treasure map marked.
"Sorry. Lets search around the mountain. If we don't find anything, we will dig below it." She said, stopping herself from thinking any further and helping the group search for the treasure.
Thanks to their divine sense, the search was finished in minutes. Although the mountain could only be described as average compared to the rest of the Zhou Worlds mountains, it was thousands, if not tens of thousands times bigger than the biggest mountain on earth.
That was the only reason the search took so long.
After they had confirmed that the treasure wasn't on the mountain, Anna signaled the titanosaur to dig below it.
Although he wasn't the strongest and likely not the fastest at digging, earth was his specialty. The titanosaur transformed back into his original form and dug down a hundred miles before they reached an open space.
The titanosaur transformed back into humanoid form and entered the area first, followed by Anna, the dragon king, the monkey king, and the rest of the void traversing cultivators.
What they had dug into was a fairly big cave with fully gray walls. Not a single thing other than stone could be seen. There was only one tunnel in front of them and a wall behind them, so the group traveled down the tunnel.
After walking for a mile, the group started to see a darkish blue light. Although the titanosaur and the monkey king were unable to determine what the light was from, Anna and the Dragon king had much experience with the Qi it was giving off.
Without a doubt, the light was coming from something with space Qi. The only explanation was that the treasure was ahead since the papers had said the treasure was space stones.
After another half mile and some twists and turns, the group entered a room full of crystals stuck in the walls. The crystals were space blue and not a single person would have doubt that they were space stones.
The non-ruler void traversing cultivators stayed right outside the room as the others entered. Anna was the first one to make contact as she walked up to one of the walls and pulled a space stone out.
She sighed in admiration at the pure space Qi inside them. As someone with a space affinity, only she could fully appreciate them. Anna was tempted to try and absorb one as if it was a spirit stone, but she felt her instincts blaring just as she was about to try.
She hastily dropped the stone and stepped back. From that point on, she didn't attempt to absorb space stones.
Although the other rulers were startled at her dropping the stone and backing up, Anna waved her hand and said she was fine but had done something stupid.
"Don't try to absorb the space stones. You will probably die." She said as a warning.
After her warning, the rulers carefully examined the entire cave in order to make sure there were no traps or dangers before they called in the rest of the void traversing cultivators and carefully harvested the space stones.
Due to the fact that there were 2400 stones and each one was removed carefully, the process took 5 hours. With the pile carefully laid out on the ground, Anna went up to each of the stones and held them before transporting them into her ring.
By the time she managed to collect all of them, the spatial ring was filled to the brim. With all the space stones safely put away, the group walked back up to the surface and flew to the celestial lands.
Although the space stones had been collected, the forging method had not been tested. Anna sent away the non-ruler void traversing cultivators from the other lands at the border and entered the celestial lands.
Getting to central city didn't take too long with their flying speeds and the rulers landed at the doors of annas tower. They had come to her tower in order to use the forging space on the middle floor.
As for who was going to forge the ring, there was no doubt it would be anna. Besides her identity as the ruler of the celestial lands and one of the two strongest people in the world, Anna was also known as the greatest blacksmith in the world. If she could not successfully forge a ring, then nobody would be able to.
The rulers arrived at the middle floor unimpeded and went into the forge room. The room was extremely large and contained a single anvil, hammer, fire pit, and bucket of water.
The bucket of water was special water made from annas own power and Anna would borrow the flames of the dragon king for forging.
Although she could make her own flames, since not having an affinity didn't mean one couldn't use an element, the dragon king's flames were special and much more powerful.
"Light it up." Anna said as she picked up her hammer. Both the hammer and the anvil were made from the strongest materials Anna could find. They had reached grade 6, or void traversing.
