I Come to Teach You Cultivation

Chapter 493 - 22: My Name Is Li Xudou

"What... happened?"

The same question escaped Xiaogui’s lips, and her feelings were far clearer than those of Mu Ke and the Great Owl.

The Ancient Gods, even at their peak, might not have been a match for Li Jingshu.

Let alone these shadows from ten thousand years ago, whose power might not even reach one percent of the true Ancient Gods.

Therefore, Xiaogui was never worried about the safety of herself or Li Jingshu.

She was more concerned about Li Jingshu’s reckless actions possibly reactivating the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, leading to a chain of unforeseen consequences.

The facts proved that Xiaogui’s concern was never unfounded.

As those shadows of the Ancient Gods were cut down one by one by Li Jingshu, the scenes that should have been replaying from the past also came to a halt.

But this did not mean that the shadows within Shocking God Valley had completely disappeared.

On the contrary, while the shadows of the Ancient Divine Battlefield from ten thousand years ago vanished, even stranger and more bizarre scenes began to appear in the Shocking God Valley.

It seemed as though the timeline of Shocking God Valley had become distorted.

One after another, shadows from other timelines and other world lines flashed briefly in Shocking God Valley.

As for why Xiaogui was so certain?

It was because, at this moment, the shadows appearing were essentially different manifestations evolving from the core of Shocking God Valley.

Perhaps the vegetation was more abundant, nurturing vitality completely different from the current canyon state.

Or perhaps the entire valley was completely leveled, and structures unfamiliar to Xiaogui were erected.

Or perhaps a wide road appeared out of nowhere, with various more exquisite and complex "Bronze Beast Chariots" traversing it.

...

All manner of strange and bizarre, weird and mysterious.

By the time Li Jingshu realized something was amiss, some shadows had already become aware of what was happening here.

Whether they came from the past, the future, or other different world lines, they all cast curious glances towards the current time node without exception.

Because in the era they were in, the appearances of Li Jingshu and Xiaogui also appeared as shadows.

"No, we can’t go on like this!"

In a flash of inspiration, Li Jingshu cast her gaze towards the veins below.

Li Jingshu did not know why the Sun-Shooting Arrow could interfere with the timeline, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing.

Especially when Li Jingshu noticed some unfamiliar shadows seemingly recognizing her, staring wide-eyed in shock or ecstasy.

Although these shadows accounted for less than one in a billion of the whole, and were only fleeting.

But heaven knows whether they might meddle with the timeline like those shadows of the Ancient Gods across the river of time.

"I’ll guide you!"

Speaking with unspoken understanding, Xiaogui, nearly in sync with Li Jingshu’s mind, immediately raised her voice and shouted.

The next second, a gigantic shadow spider manifested again.

This time, the specially powered shadow spider burrowed underground, rushing towards the direction where the previous shadow spider had vanished.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jingshu held her dual guns, driving the Sun and Moon Dual Wheel to clear the path ahead.

Szzzzzz...

The rapidly spinning Sun and Moon Dual Wheel cut through the strata, overturning the soil.

The strong gravitational and repulsive forces worked in tandem, soon sighting the gigantic shadow spider once more.

As for the damage this behavior might inflict on Shocking God Valley?

Li Jingshu had already decided to retrieve the Sun-Shooting Arrow, so naturally, she wouldn’t care about such trifles.

"There it is!"

In a flash, Li Jingshu followed the shadow spider to the designated location.

Sure enough, right in the center of the massive vein, an incorruptible Divine Arrow with a golden head and white shaft stood there, unscathed by the passage of ten thousand years.

Then, just like those previous pathfinding shadow spiders.

A flash of gold vanished in an instant, and the shadow spider melted away like ice and snow.

Only Li Jingshu, shielded by the Sun and Moon Dual Wheel, remained unharmed by the radiation of the golden light.

"So it’s the power of Taiyang, no wonder it’s so suppressive to my shadow."

Despite anticipating it, Xiaogui couldn’t help but marvel after discerning the essence of the golden light.

"Now’s not the time for sighs!"

Eyes fixed unrelentingly on the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

Li Jingshu witnessed more shadows flashing past it as their center.

All were formidable entities from different timelines that discovered this Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

Some, like Li Jingshu, stumbled upon the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow by sheer chance.

Yet, some were chosen by the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow according to certain criteria.

No matter how they appeared here, at this moment, they all without exception fixedly stared at the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow.

Through countless timelines, the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow seemed to be selecting its owner again in this way.

"A Divine Arrow choosing its master?"

"Little brother stopped telling me such stories a long time ago!"

Flashing across her mind was Li Boyang’s divination result, and Li Jingshu once again drove the Sun and Moon Dual Wheel forward.

Considering herself the legacy bearer of all of Li Boyang’s skills, Li Jingshu never believed in such tales of a Divine Arrow choosing its master or predestination.

Her past life and experiences all told her that as long as you are strong, you are your own destiny.

Whoosh!

Clearly sensing Li Jingshu’s resolve and ferocity.

The Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow radiated light again, and countless entities from other timelines also stepped forward simultaneously.

Regrettably, just this one step dissuaded numerous candidates.

Those slightly weaker all vanished, and among the remaining shadows, only a few, like Li Jingshu, pressed forward forcefully.

Step two, step three...

With each step forward, the shadows around Li Jingshu diminished.

Until just before reaching the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, only a scant few shadows, including Li Jingshu, could still barely maintain their ground without retreating.

Among them were muscle-bound giant gods, towering and solemn saints, and demons filled with resentment.

Bang!

Though situated in different timelines, they subtly touched the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow at the same moment.

Li Jingshu was the first to be repelled, followed by the other entities who sighed, regretted or left in confusion or vexation.

In the end, the only one who could stand before the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow was a boy whose face was filled with bewilderment.

The boy wore a simple Eight Trigrams Robe, covering himself entirely from head to toe.

Upon realizing he was the final "victor," the boy even retained a look of disbelief.

Then, right in the incredulous gaze of Li Jingshu, the boy pulled out an Eight Trigrams Compass she couldn’t be more familiar with.

"Is that your Compass!?"

Also noticing this scene, Xiaogui instinctively exclaimed.

Then they saw the boy, with a determined expression, reaching for the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow, while a voice resounded simultaneously.

"My name is Li Xudou!"
