Looking at the Ancient One, who was still standing there with her eyes closed and the Time Stone on her chest flashing green, Bai Zhi shook her head speechlessly, then took out her phone and started reading a novel.
Since there's no other way, we can only start setting up shop now.
Time began to pass slowly, and the sunlight outside, which had been brilliant at noon, turned into a dim twilight.
Just as Bai Zhi was engrossed in reading, a cup of tea was suddenly placed in front of her.
Looking up, I saw it was the Ancient One, with a faint, enigmatic smile on her face.
"Guests from out of town, please have some tea."
"Ah... thank you for your kindness."
Bai Zhi immediately put her phone back in her pocket, put on a well-behaved look, and then took the teacup with both hands.
The tea was at just the right temperature, and the flavor was wonderfully lingering. It was clear that this was a rather expensive variety.
However, after Bai Zhi drank the tea, she noticed that the Supreme Master was still staring at her with that same smiling expression.
"Ahem... Is there anything you'd like to ask?"
Being looked at like that, Bai Zhi suddenly felt immense pressure.
If she remembered correctly, this person had just referred to her as a "guest from out of town."
If her comprehension is not impaired, the Sorcerer Supreme may have discovered that she is not from this universe.
Could they be trying to kill me to silence me? If I find that I can't be killed, I might be banished to some weird place.
"Your existence is very interesting. The Eye of Agamotto cannot recall your past, and..."
The Ancient One's gaze deepened. "Your horns symbolize good fortune, but I see immense dark potential within you, as if you possess a part of the world's origin. Given time, will you become a demon of the dark side? Become an existence like Dormammu?"
"What dark demon god? I don't know anything about that. You must be joking."
Bai Zhi gave a dry laugh, but to some extent, the Holy Lord did indeed occupy one-eighth of the dark side of the world, which is one-sixteenth of the entire world. She was well aware of this fact, but she had never felt that she could control any dark power.
If I were that powerful, I would have already beaten the Commander and kicked the Star God. You know, even the Star God isn't powerful enough to possess one-sixteenth of the world's power.
Gu nodded, seemingly neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
This is also why she didn't act immediately, because this is only potential. To turn potential into real power requires a long time and opportunity.
Moreover, if it were truly a powerful demon god who had taken over a part of the world's origin and came to Earth, even she, a powerful supreme mage, would probably be unable to stop its attack.
56 Jingyuan's composure
Just as Bai Zhi was being driven crazy by Gu Yi's attitude, Jing Yuan also opened his eyes.
"Hmm...an interesting experience."
After stretching his limbs, Jing Yuan smiled, finally having arrived in the other world.
His ideal has never been to become a celestial ship general, but rather to be a wandering seafarer who can roam the world, witnessing many people and things, and appreciating countless new landscapes.
I originally thought I wouldn't be able to fulfill this wish before I fell into the demonic body, but I didn't expect to benefit from Bai Zhi this time.
After stretching his limbs, Jingyuan began to look around at his surroundings.
This is a small cave with an iron fence at the entrance. Inside the cave, there are all sorts of outdated and aesthetically unappealing pieces of scrap metal.
Of course, besides these pieces of scrap metal, there were also two beings, seemingly short-lived species, staring at him with dumbfounded expressions.
"But... what about Angelica dahurica?"
Jing Yuan looked around and discovered this important problem.
While he had the idea of traveling to other worlds, his primary concern was ensuring Bai Zhi's safety.
This is a crucial candidate concerning the future of the Immortal Ship. Even if he dies, Bai Zhi cannot be harmed.
"And what about Fu Qing?"
This question also refreshed Jing Yuan's mind. Of course, as a general named Shence, he quickly realized that Bai Zhi did bring him and Fu Xuan to another world, but they were probably not together.
"This is really... a real headache."
Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly, but he wasn't too discouraged, because many of the problems he encountered on the Luofu Immortal Ship were much more difficult than this.
It's just finding someone, right? He's done this kind of thing more than once. He can handle hundreds of billions of people in Luofu, so this is just a small problem.
However, if you want to find someone, asking the local natives is undoubtedly the most effective way.
"Hello, you two over there."
Jing Yuan strolled over to Tony Stark and Ethan, who were still somewhat dumbfounded.
"Were you two surprised by the scene I teleported you to?"
"Teleportation? Wait, are you a scientist? But why would a scientist be dressed in something that looks like a theatrical costume?"
After Jing Yuan spoke, Tony Stark, who had just been stunned, finally reacted, and his intense curiosity prompted him to ask a series of questions.
"No, no, no, I'm not a scientist. Although I have received higher education and can make some gadgets, that's not my job. I'm just a general. Are you two prisoners locked up here?"
"General?!"
Tony Stark looked at Jing Yuan with some confusion, then suddenly realized, "Are you an actor? And do you have some kind of superpower?"
"Fine, whatever. If you have the superpower to teleport, please send us back to New York. I'm willing to pay you handsomely, $5000 million, how about it?"
Tony Stark immediately said that although he had been working with Ethan to build the Iron Man suit these past few days in preparation for going out to take revenge.
But through Ethan, he learned that this was a vast desert, and even if he used his armor to kill those guys, he might still die here due to lack of food and water.
If someone possessed this teleportation ability, they could send themselves back to New York and, leveraging Stark Industries' formidable industrial capabilities, quickly create an even stronger suit of armor before seeking revenge.
This way, they can ensure their own and Ethan's safety while also making the revenge more satisfying—it's a win-win situation.
“I’m sorry, sir, I don’t have any teleportation abilities.” Jing Yuan shrugged. “Only one of my companions can use this. But it sounds like you’re quite wealthy?”
Although he didn't know the purchasing power of the US dollar, judging from the other party's confident demeanor, Jing Yuan guessed that 5000 million US dollars was probably not a small amount.
If the other party can come up with that much money, it means that they have considerable power and wealth.
If such people can cooperate, it can speed up the process of finding Angelica dahurica.
“That’s right, Tony is the owner of Stark Industries, one of the world’s leading weapons suppliers,” Ethan confirmed from the side.
"Didn't your friend leave you any device that could send signals? Was he even a qualified scientist?"
Tony seemed a little incredulous. In his view, randomly teleporting one's friend without providing a signal transmitter was simply too unscientific and lacked any sense of rigor.
"One of the world's top arms suppliers...."
After glancing at the empty weapon shells at Tony's feet and then at a laptop lying to the side, and considering the word "global," Jing Yuan gained a basic understanding of this world.
The weapon is very primitive; at least, this kind of primitive kinetic weapon would be difficult to kill even ordinary Xianzhou people. It is most likely an indigenous planet that has not even fully explored its star system, rather than some special celestial body such as a huge continent.
"How shall we address you both?" Jing Yuan asked with a smile.
"...Tony Stark"
Ethan
"Okay, I understand. While I can't teleport you to that so-called New York, I can easily get you out of here. Mr. Tony, what are your thoughts?"
As Jing Yuan said this, the security personnel from the Ten Commandments Gang in the monitoring room rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at the monitor screen.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing. The cave, which originally only housed Tony Stark and Ethan, now inexplicably has a strange white-haired guy dressed in ancient Chinese clothing.
This situation doesn't make sense even to a child.
Upon seeing Jing Yuan, the security personnel immediately sprang to their feet like springs and rushed out shouting:
"There's someone inside the cave! Go in and check immediately!!"
Upon hearing this, the Ten Commandments gang members who were originally guarding the perimeter of the cave immediately grabbed their guns and rushed inside.
Of course, Tony Stark and Ethan inside the cave heard such a loud noise, which made their expressions change.
"How's your armor?" Ethan asked quickly.
"No, it will take at least several more hours to transmit the data, otherwise it won't be able to move at all. Even if I put it on, it will just be a metal coffin!"
Tony Stark immediately went to the computer and started typing, then uttered a despairing time.
"broken...."
Seeing this, Ethan gritted his teeth, picked up the weapons he had assembled over the past few days, and prepared to rush out to buy some time.
"Why are you both in such a hurry? I already said I can help you with this." Jing Yuan said lazily as the two were anxious.
57. A Trip to the Dark Dimension
"Can you really do that?"
Tony Stark looked at Jing Yuan with some suspicion, mainly because the other party's clothes looked like a theatrical costume, probably without even basic bulletproof function.
Is rushing straight out like this really not suicide?
"How about we grab a weapon?"
Tony Stark looked at the ground and saw some old, discarded weapons.
"Hehe, there's no need for that, these are outdated things."
Jing Yuan said with a smile.
Tony Stark still seemed somewhat skeptical, mainly because he had not witnessed any supernatural power before.
However, there was no time for Tony Stark to dwell on this now. The Ten Rings soldiers had already stormed in, carrying rifles and RPGs, and were slowly advancing into the cave.
Although they didn't know anything about the white-haired man, they knew that no matter how powerful he was, these guns were enough to riddle him with bullets.
Inside the cave, the echoes were naturally quite noticeable, and Tony Stark and the others inside were not deaf; they knew those guys were about to come in.
"Forget it, this is not the time to hesitate. Let's deal with those guys first."
Jing Yuan reached out and grasped, and the weapon appeared in his hand.
With a gentle wave, the prison door in front of him shattered instantly.
Tony Stark was somewhat surprised by this scene. Of course, he wasn't curious about the power or anything like that. What he was thinking was, was this weapon made of some special material?
A figure appeared in front of the Ten Commandments gang's henchmen. The guys were slightly taken aback, then decisively opened fire.
“Da da da da”
Gunshots rang out, accompanied by flames.
But clearly, sometimes, firearms don't mean they can solve everything. The bullets that hit Jing Yuan were easily blocked by the golden lightning emanating from him, and then melted in the next second.
“Primitive weapons.” Jing Yuan shook his head with amusement.
With a gentle wave of his hand, golden lightning bolts shot out like serpents, instantly freezing the Ten Commandments henchmen before turning them into a handful of black ash.
The henchmen of the Ten Commandments gang had never seen anything like this before. The man turned to ashes in an instant, and they were so frightened that they shouted all sorts of strange words and ran away in a panic.
Jing Yuan paid no attention and continued walking forward, casually turning some of the still bewildered Ten Commandments henchmen into ashes.
After turning several henchmen to ashes, the scattered henchmen were finally gathered together by higher-ranking commanders.
As soon as Jing Yuan emerged from the cave, he saw more than a dozen heavy machine guns and several RPG missiles raining down on him.
"boom!"
Huge amounts of smoke and dust and vibrations.
The commander of the Ten Commandments was overjoyed. Although he had just heard those who had managed to escape say how terrifying the white-haired man was, in his opinion, no matter how terrifying you are, you are still a carbon-based life form. The metal storm created by so many RPGs and machine guns can blast you into dust.
"Great command, assembling troops so quickly, but unfortunately, you know nothing about strength."
Just as the commander was feeling quite pleased with himself, Jing Yuan's voice rang out across the entire battlefield.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Jing Yuan, his body radiating golden lightning, slowly rose from the thick smoke and dust.
"Beat them! Beat them!!"
The Ten Commandments leader was the first to react, and roared loudly.
The other henchmen reacted quickly, grabbing their heavy machine guns and RPGs and attacking Jing Yuan, who was slowly rising into the air.
