Chapter 673: Chapter 49 The Armory’s Bountiful Harvest (2/3)

"There are simply too many good things!"

An Jing was overwhelmed with emotion. All these armaments were now his. He was stuffing his Great Void Magical Instrument with items, one container at a time, which quickly became impossible to fit any more. This forced An Jing to discard all other commercially available weapons he had and arm the mercenaries present at the scene.

This scene shocked everyone there.

—What kind of quantity is this?!

The rockets, landmines, Thunder Beads, ammunition, self-destructing drones, and high explosives that An Jing pulled out had piled up into a small hill, something no one could have imagined; An Jing actually had such a large Great Void Magical Instrument, and it was filled to the brim with mountains of armaments.

What on earth is An Xuan planning to do? Does he carry all these things with him when he talks to us every day?

Mrs. Guang subconsciously shuddered, while the mercenaries nearby also swallowed hard.

—An Jing truly lives up to be a Sword Cultivator; such an extreme character, indeed the most orthodox of Sword Cultivators!

An Jing was unaware of Tianyuan Realm people’s misconceptions about Sword Cultivators. Even if he did know, he would probably only be able to say, ’It’s all due to a world shaped by logistical heritage’. He was just gleefully clearing out his stock and upgrading his arsenal.

He also knew that these military weapons might have backdoors and once damaged, could not be replenished. But An Jing wasn’t really fighting alone; after his return to the Bright Mirror Sect or Endless Heavens, there would surely be professionals who could decipher them. An Jing himself was a quite excellent Artifact Refiner, who could slowly disassemble and study them to understand some of the design concepts.

"There are so many good things that I’m almost ready to forgive Feng Weiyan. He truly gave us valuable items without being stingy at all."

An Jing sighed inwardly. After taking away the most elite and expensive batch of weapons from the entire warehouse, he requested Qu Tong to lead them deeper underground.

Below the Fortress Area lies the foundation of the Purple Mansion Great Formation, installed during the expansion of the settlement. It reaches deep into the Earth Vein, drawing on the Earth Vein Power for energy supply, protecting the camp during the great battles of the Purple Mansion.

After the failure of the expansion war, it was completely destroyed by Demon Beasts, with no possibility of restoration. However, the fundamental framework of the Great Formation still penetrated deep into the Spirit Vein.

The long corridor was shrouded in shadows, where one could faintly see the glowing aqua-colored glowing roots spreading inside the rocks. This was probably the ’plant-based mysterious device’ Qu Tong spoke about, which is also what Steel Skeleton speculated to be the ’Great Void Cave Truth Device’ used to open the gates of Cave Heaven.

As they walked silently downwards, Steel Skeleton was very cautious, but An Jing was quite relaxed—using his Martial Meridian to sense his surroundings, he didn’t detect any traps, not even ill will; there was only an increasing concentration of Vitality Spirit Energy.

So pure and thick was the Spirit Qi that many mercenaries greedily began to circulate their cultivation techniques, hoping to inhale a few more breaths of it. Even Steel Skeleton found it difficult to tell them to restrain themselves, knowing that many mercenaries who fought in the Wilderness did so in the hope of earning more Spirit Stones, to slightly increase their Cultivation.

An Jing didn’t really mind. He had even asked the mercenaries to ’stay and guard the door’, only requiring Mrs. Guang, Steel Skeleton, and Qu Tong to accompany him, for which all the mercenaries were incredibly grateful.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the center of the Earth Vein, a funnel-shaped deep pit.

The threaded funnel pit was roughly four hundred zhang in diameter and sixty zhang deep. Its threads were lined with numerous scale-like steel structures that reached deep into the earth, reflecting aqua-colored Spirit Light Runes, clearly the base of some Great Formation from days past.

Now, a wooden pool structure resembling a depressed tree stump occupied the center of the Formation Base, with countless roots extending deeply into the Formation and Spirit Vein.

Pure Vitality Spirit Energy condensed into liquid aqua-colored Spiritual Liquid in the pool, so dazzling that even Mrs. Guang couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

"Longevity Green Qi!"

She exclaimed, "Such pure Longevity Green Qi? But how is this possible? Isn’t this the Spirit Qi that can only be refined from a tier-three Evergreen Wood Tree Core?"

Next to the pool where the Longevity Green Qi was condensing, three figures were bustling about, adjusting various parameters of the pool, and under their operation, the Longevity Green Qi in the pool was slowly rotating, turning the water surface, which reflected the outside scenery, into chaos, seemingly transforming into a gateway to a far-off place.

The trio also noticed the arrival of An Jing and the others, and at first chance, they straightforwardly raised their hands: "We surrender—spare our lives, and we can close this Cave Heaven portal!"

They were well aware of the situation above, so they showed no intention of resisting.

The three figures all looked like a strange hybrid of machinery and plants, different from Demon Men; their bodies were sleek, possessing a type of beauty, or rather, they looked very much like humans.

Especially this act of straightforward surrender, it was too human-like.

"I’m sorry, An Xuan!" The Six-Eyed figure who had sniped at An Jing, Daze immediately knelt down to apologize: "It was our mistake to have shot you down and sniped at you. I’m kneeling first, please spare our lives!"

"Why bother with this?"

Scratching his head, An Jing was truly baffled, "Why do you all think I’m here to shut down the Cave Heaven portal? Where did you get that misconception?"

Hearing this, the trio also paused, exchanged bewildered glances, and then perplexedly said, "According to the information we’ve gathered, aren’t you, An Xuan, a person from Xuanye City?"

"Right."

An Jing nodded, "So what?"

"So aren’t you from Xuanye City, sent to stop us from our invasion into the Ancient Immortal Ruins this time?" Daze said, and another figure, even more slender in build, spoke in a low voice: "And An Xuan, don’t you have property in Chonggang Town? If there appears another entrance to the Cave Heaven here, the main entrance of Chonggang Town will drop in value, and so would your property... Logically and emotionally, you should be stopping us."

"How peculiar, you seemed to have investigated me thoroughly, haven’t you?"

An Jing commented with emotion, "So wasn’t it you who shot me down? Don’t you know yet that my only task was to detect the true identities of you thugs occupying the Fortress Area?"

"And now, I’ve understood who you are and the Shouyang Mountain backing you, I’m definitely going to score high in this Martial Test."

——You’re still referencing this Martial Test? You’ve killed around, annihilated an Automatic Puppetry at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and you still think it’s just a test?

Mrs. Guang, standing behind An Jing, hesitated to speak, wanting to say ’this test has been canceled,’ but considering An Jing’s performance exceeded merely passing the Martial Test, he truly deserved to be a professor!

"In any case, I’m not here to settle accounts with you," An Jing summarized, "If it were really about settling accounts, you would be corpses by now. I’ve come here to assist you."

"Tell me, how can we accelerate the opening of the Cave Heaven portal?"
