Chapter 674: Chapter 50 Win-Win Cooperation (3/3)

——I always said we shouldn’t have acted rashly, right? Now we’ve gone and riled up an ancestor!

——The old master said that ’staying untouchable by karma’ is the supreme Dao of cultivation. I never understood it until now, but this is what it means to stay untouchable by karma.

——Ah, I’ve learned, I’ve learned!

Members of the Ganyuan Sea relayed messages to one another, expressing complaints, enlightenment, or information. Once they reached a consensus, the three members introduced themselves to An Jing, and explained the principles behind the ’Great Void Cave Truth Device’ to him.

"The Ancient Immortal Ruins are essentially a world within a Cave Heaven that is semi-fused with the Tianyuan Realm. It was originally a Great Void Skyship Shipyard constructed by the Dao Courtyard within the Great Void, which required a large supply of raw materials."

"Therefore, at set intervals, this Cave Heaven follows a Spirit Vein towards the ’resource points’ in the Tianyuan Realm to transport the collected warship materials — the Spirit Vein where Xuanye City is located was once such a resource point."

"Of course, the Cave Heaven is vast. In addition to Chonggang Town’s main nodes, which have connections to the Cave Heaven, there are other minor nodes, like the one we are in right now."

"However, if there is no internal signal, these minor nodes will not activate. That’s why we need this ’Great Void Cave Truth Device.’ It can penetrate the Great Void’s membrane and connect the two realms together."

"Each Cave Truth Device works on a different principle. What we use has a branch of the Little Jianmu as its core, fueled by a substantial amount of Longevity Green Qi, allowing the Little Jianmu to construct a ’branch bridge’ that spans both realms."

"To speed up the process is simple, just provide enough Longevity Green Qi — but that’s quite difficult, even we cannot manage that, and it’s even more challenging for humans."

The Ganyuan Sea trio cooperated very well in explaining this.

They were clearly not ’human’ in the normal sense; the alien vibe was very strong, not only due to their personalities, but also because they lacked the distortion common to Yuhua Cultivators, instead exuding an unusual and robust life force, distinct from humans.

An Jing was familiar with this — wasn’t this just Old Weng’s behavior? If Weng Cuiyu were to take on a human form, the presence given off by a large Demon Spirit from the Spirit Plants would probably be similar to theirs.

Furthermore, given their proficiency in utilizing Longevity Green Qi, there was no need to think twice; these three peculiar beings were definitely a kind of ’Plant Demon Spirit.’

"Longevity Green Qi, huh?"

An Jing pondered and stepped forward, asking, "May I touch the Cave Truth Device?"

"Please do."

The three said in unison, not because they were being carefree, but rather because there was only so much they could do to tweak the data and manually operate it to increase the speed of the Cave Truth Device’s growth.

An Jing walked forward, but just at that moment, the ground suddenly shook violently. Although the core of the Earth Vein was undamaged, the cries of mercenaries could be heard; it seemed numerous cracks and collapses had occurred in the corridor, and the scent of high heat and fierce flames grew stronger. A fearsome and scorching wind blew in from the entrance of the cave.

"Tell them to come here; staying outside now would be certain death."

An Jing was able to remain calm, but even Steel Skeleton seemed a bit uneasy now, not to mention Mrs. Guang, who was beginning to tremble in fear — they all sensed the approaching aura of the Purple Mansion, a force capable of stirring all controllable elements of the natural world and altering natural phenomena with its will.

In contrast, the Ganyuan Sea trio remained still, seemingly fearless, or perhaps, devoid of the human emotion of fear.

Soon, everyone gathered at the center of the Earth Vein, and An Jing touched the pool.

In that instant, the Divine Abnormality [Heaven and Earth Root] and the [True Spirit Blood · Ancestral Dragon Seed] within An Jing’s body stirred.

Correspondingly, the Cave Truth Device seemed to react, the aura of the core Little Jianmu branch becoming slightly more active as well.

"Eh?"

At the same time, the Ganyuan Sea trio voiced their surprise in unison, instinctively leaning forward and looking in An Jing’s direction like sunflowers towards the sun, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Just now... had they sensed a familiar aura?

"Indeed, there’s a response."

This was something An Jing had anticipated.

The Ancestal Dragon Seed within him had already received recognition from the heavenly dao of the Tianyuan Realm, even receiving Spiritual Power from a Heavenly Tribulation to aid in its growth, undoubtedly affecting the Spirit Plants of this world, especially since the Heaven and Earth Root within him already contained a shadow of Jianmu. With such contact, the sensation was crystal clear.

At this moment, An Jing could sense that the Jianmu branch within the Cave Truth Device was ’complaining.’

This ’complaint’ was very similar to the Immaculate Wood, generally a feeling that was hard to detect if one wasn’t familiar, but An Jing was all too acquainted. He had chatted with the Immaculate Wood every day during his seclusion in the Primordial Spirit Cave, quickly interpreting its message.

[So thirsty.]

[So hot]

[This place is not suitable for growth]

[Need water, need coolness]

[Thirsty]

A series of complaints flooded into An Jing’s mind, and he finally understood why the trio had not allowed Jianmu to open the Cave Heaven gate for such a long time.

Simply because it’s too hot.

Although the Golden Crow was their ally, in order to prevent other forces from approaching the Fortress Area, it had ignited too many fires, and the overly fierce flames affected the surrounding spirit atmosphere. Jianmu’s branches naturally couldn’t grow smoothly in this environment.

But now, An Jing was also in a dilemma: where could he find water, cool water for it?

An Jing reported this outcome to everyone, and to his surprise, an answer came swiftly.

"So that’s why!"

Daze suddenly realized: "We will notify Chen Xunguang (the Golden Crow’s name) immediately to tone down its firepower—the Golden Crow has strong fire-controlling abilities; it can retract its power, and even reverse the atmosphere to make the world cool and clear!"

"Your cooperation with the Golden Crow is this deep?"

An Jing was quite surprised; he thought he would need to return to Embracing the Void to fetch some Frost Calamity water to cool down—though the Frost Calamity had already vanished, its influence hadn’t recovered that quickly, and Northern Border’s climate was naturally cold. There were still many snow-capped mountains soaked with the power of Xuan Han.

"We are old acquaintances; it also wants to go home."

Luo Chuan, who appeared to be a twin-tailed female human figure, spoke with a light tone, unaware that she made a pun, as her eyes flickered a few times. Suddenly, the heat continuously coming from above decreased significantly: "See, it indeed can gather the surrounding heat. In fact, it disperses its own power mainly to protect us. Otherwise, not only would you guys come rushing over, but many other forces around are also coveting this place."

—Go home?

An Jing caught this keyword... do the Golden Crow and the trio from Ganyuan Sea all want to go home? Are they all residents from the Ancient Immortal Ruins?

But it doesn’t seem like it...

With these doubts in mind, yet not showing them outwardly, An Jing also did not think that simply cooling down would suffice. He stepped forward, touched the Great Void Cave Truth Device again, gathered Tai Shi Yuan Evil, and quietly transferred it: "This Spiritual Fiend can be converted into any type of Spiritual Fiend among Yin Yang and the Five Elements, transform it if you need to."

[This is it, this is exact what I need!]

And Little Jianmu’s branches were also extremely delighted: [Thank you, thank you!]

Without the oppression of the Golden Crow Flame, and with An Jing wholeheartedly transferring Tai Shi Yuan Evil as the energy supply, the roots of Jianmu’s branches suddenly became sturdier and harder, and the Longevity Green Qi Spirit Liquid in the water pool began to spin faster. Vaguely, one could see that beneath the Spirit Qi, strands of roots glimmering with green Spiritual Light penetrated the Spirit Vein and the void, like a well leading to another world, revealing a corner of that distant realm.

"It’s done!"

Upon seeing this scene, the trio from Ganyuan Sea immediately let out cheers: "Soon, the gate to Cave Heaven will be opened!"

Pure Spirit Qi became even more abundant, and the opening of the Cave Heaven gate was but a moment away.

However, at the same time, a more violent earthquake struck.

This time, even the center of the Earth Vein did not escape; like dishes and utensils on a table during an earthquake, the intense shaking caused the Formation bases surrounding the center, those deep iron talisman pieces within the Earth Vein, to groan, creaking as if about to burst forth.

Crack.

A heavy cracking sound echoed as a huge fissure rippled through the rock layer above the Earth Vein’s center, which could be described less as a crack and more as a newly formed canyon so immense that, upon its appearance, the gloomy light from the outside world shone into the depths of the underground.

But strangely, in the sky of Tianyuan Realm where there had never been sun or moon, two suns appeared at this moment.

"What is that?" "Why are there suns?"

But as everyone looked up, they were all suddenly frightened.

Because those two suns were descending from within the Fiend Cloud, its segmented limbs tearing open the earth, staring intently at the center of the Earth Vein with the monstrous eyes of the Kun Demon!
