CHAPTER 1436: CHAPTER 858

When Jiang Tang and Ye Tian awoke, they continued to explore the mysteries!

The street suddenly returned to its previous silence; those who hadn’t died in the Illusion Realm were gone too.

The ground still had bones and broken magic artifacts, and the eerie scene they had just entered reappeared!

Jiang Tang and Ye Tian exchanged glances, understanding that they had just assumed roles within that castle, but they still needed to go inside to get the treasure in the hall!

The silence between them indicated their mutual understanding; the longstanding brotherhood wasn’t affected by the Illusion Realm, leaving no barriers between them!

Jiang Tang checked the time on his watch, which was a magical artifact Ye Tian had crafted according to Beijing Standard Time. It not only had storage space but also displayed the time!

The watch’s calculations wouldn’t change even if they traveled to other planets, other Cultivation Worlds, or ancient to civilized eras; it operated on the timing of the civilized age!

It also meant they calculated their travels, like entering the Illusion Realm or the Secret Realm, as if a month had passed!

The date showed that, looking at the castle they had entered earlier, despite the battles that seemed to have gone on for many days in life-or-death scenarios, only two hours had passed by their watches!

Ye Tian also checked his watch, relieved that his magical artifact showed the real time, preventing them from being deceived by the Illusion Realm!

Feeling proud, they both entered the castle together!

Once inside, the castle’s floor was still chaotic, with signs of battle!

The items inside were all damaged!

Jiang Tang sighed inwardly, wondering how a good castle turned into such a mess?

The hall ended up like this, maybe because it was a battlefield before; what about the rooms inside?

Might there be something good in the rooms?

Ye Tian looked at the items that appeared well, feeling a momentary heartache, as if they belonged to him, even though they didn’t!

Was it because he had assumed a role before?

Jiang Tang wasn’t the sentimental type, yet he felt a pang seeing those Immortal Artifacts—why?

As if they were his belongings being damaged, was this feeling because he had assumed a role here before?

Like a home, where everything was destroyed by others, this heartache!

Jiang Tang couldn’t help clutching his heart’s position. Normally, he had plenty of good things, including Immortal Artifacts, never seen before! After cultivating in the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space for some time, he hadn’t received further rewards; seeing such good things destroyed made his heart ache!

He discovered one of the items on the ground, a Jade Thumb Ring the size of a thumb, symbolizing identity—a type of Immortal Artifact!

Seeing the Jade Thumb Ring, Jiang Tang felt a familiar sense. It seemed undamaged; he picked it up and used his Divine Sense, finding no resistance—likely the owner was gone, and the bond was broken!

Inside, there were many good things: some Immortal Artifacts, several pieces resembling jewelry, plus clothes and food, but no more so-called magical treasures, aside from some bottles of pills!

Not knowing how long the pills had been there, he stored them in his internal space to check later!

Ye Tian, too, collected useful items—the place had seen a great battle before, where good items might have been damaged or left behind after the owner’s death!

He found a Jade Hairpin, which was a storage-space-type magic artifact. Although slightly damaged while its owner battled, its contents were intact!

Ye Tian reviewed the contents: belongings of a woman!

No matter the usefulness, he kept the Jade Hairpin and other items unafraid of their previous owner having perished!

Ye Tian continued his search, not speaking to Jiang Tang. They didn’t start by looking for things in the other rooms of the castle but by picking up the items dropped on the ground like collecting trash!

Some belonged to strangers or the owner, possibly dropped during this recent battle!

The things here might not be valuable compared to the quality items one carries personally!

The castle might not have more good things, as Cultivators usually carry valuables with them!

Especially Immortals, they wouldn’t keep valuable items at home or in their rooms!

Ye Tian kept looking for good things; the whole hall was searched and looted by the two, noticing even the cushions were uniquely good quality, which they didn’t want!

Then they split up to scour the rooms for things!

Upon entering an inner room, Jiang Tang was drawn into an Illusion Realm. It felt like home; now he assumed a role, becoming an Immortal!

Immortal Venerable’s lifestyle transformed the neighboring rooms anew, and the household servants, actually Guardian Divine Beasts!

Both male and female were Demons, serving the family and protecting them as Guardian Divine Beasts and Guards!
