Chapter 630: 578 Seek 2

"The transfer of the law is complete," Daoist Ping Qiu closed his eyes, reverting to his previous state of stillness reminiscent of a statue.

"Alright, this was mainly for registration, to let your kilns leave a mark here, so as to monitor changes in your realms at any time," the voice of Yin Jiu came from one side.

"Can the Yin Canon kiln improve one’s realm simply by continuously adding fuel?" inquired Que Ru.

"Of course you can, but some fuels make progress faster, others slower, and some burn incompletely, requiring certain catalysts, otherwise they will persistently obstruct the burning. These are what you will gain from your inheritance. Furthermore..." Yin Jiu said with a laugh.

"The more substance you burn in one stage, and the stronger it is, the greater the elevation in that stage. You have a time limit of three hundred years; should you fail to meet the minimum elevation required for the next stage, the kiln will gradually decline and permanently lose the potential to advance further."

Three hundred years...

Li Chengyi and Que Ru exchanged a glance, each seeing the other’s determination in their eyes.

"Remember, the True Fire stage and the obtaining of the Origin Seal are solely for the purpose of burning, turned into kindling to strengthen the True Fire. The sublimation of True Fire is the core of your pursuit. Do not, like the Dead Qi Cult Nation, meaninglessly accumulate and combine Origin Seals, what good are a few war machines in the end?"

Li Chengyi felt a chill in his heart, the abundant imprints covering the body of the King of the Death Angels remained vivid in his memory.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Uncle," they responded in unison.

"Go now, this place is not suitable for a prolonged stay. Once your realm is elevated next time, and you can enter again, you will formally be received by many true sect masters. That’s when you’ll be eligible to select the direction of the forbidden knowledge system you wish to acquire. Consider this a preliminary trial," reminded Yin Jiu.

Li Chengyi and his companion understood; this was the entry test after joining the true sect. If, after knowing the correct and fastest cultivation method, they could not reach the next realm within three hundred years, they would lose their qualifications for the true sect, and at most, they could only be ordinary members, unable to obtain a tilt in resources.

"Alright, I’ll send you back; it’s time for the next group of people," Yin Jiu reminded.

The two quickly got up and followed a path out of the Taoist Palace.

"This time your realms were too low to witness the changes around you when still. When you return in the future, you will be able to perceive the original appearance of all things," Yin Jiu explained in detail.

With a wave of his hand, a piece of white light swept the two up, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the isle.

Only within the Taoist Palace, two kiln patterns belonging to Que Ru and Li Chengyi slowly emerged on the wall surface.

Shortly after the two left, a new streak of rosy light flew in and landed through a golden ring, bringing in a new batch of individuals.

Earth-Moon.

Above the endless blue ocean.

A tall figure with silver hair and black clothes, blinked into existence, flickering into view.

He floated in the air, overlooking the waters below, his eyes flashing with black and golden shimmer.

Whoosh!

The vast power of consciousness formed a substantial hurricane, emanating from him, spreading swiftly in all directions.

In no time, it covered thousands of kilometers around him.

’I’m finally back...’ the silver-haired man sighed, and his figure flickered again, immediately reappearing above a stretch of ruined remains.

The traces of human habitation below caused him to reflect, as a flare of black light shone upon him.

Swish.

After the second flicker, he appeared on top of a snow-capped peak.

Surrounded by sloping snowdrifts, a Snow Eagle happened to glide by, startled by the sudden appearance of Li Chengyi, it whirled and tumbled in surprise, nearly plummeting straight down.

"It’s here!" Li Chengyi instantly confirmed the location.

He had come to Earth-Moon right after returning a few days ago, searching for the last trace of Rainbow Candy’s presence.

Standing on the snowy ground, he bent over to pick up a black plastic fragment.

It appeared to be a broken piece of a headphone.

It bore a familiar faint scent, the scent of Rainbow Candy’s Floral Bead.

Discarding the piece, Li Chengyi looked around.

Slowly, he moved his feet, searching for the spot where the scent was the strongest.

"Red God."

"Present," a dark red figure appeared behind Li Chengyi, bowing slightly.

"Create a fixed teleportation gate here, can you reach Mosha at the furthest?"

"If coordinates are consecutive and precise, and with three transfers, it’s possible, though the consumption is somewhat large," Red God replied deeply.

"Then let the other side prepare for it," said Li Chengyi.

He had been in cultivation for less than a hundred years; to break through to the next stage in three hundred years posed practically no difficulty for him.

Thus upon returning, he had immediately set about searching for his team members, and the first he sought was Rainbow Candy.

Rainbow Candy’s Flower Language Ability, coupled with her talent, made her extremely suitable for rapid expansion in technology-oriented Blind Spots.

She could also establish a powerful intelligence analysis system for the team, connecting various sections together.

Therefore, prioritizing her search was a decision made jointly by Li Chengyi and Paine, among others.

Now, under the protection of The Garden’s affiliates, Mingyuan Group was returning to Earth-Moon, starting to rebuild the headquarters and gathering the existing Blind Spot Individuals.

The former Blind Spot Individuals had almost all perished during the long escape.

Apart from The Garden’s team, only Paine was still alive.

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi also sighed.

"Let’s go, mark the next location," he murmured.

Red God scattered golden specks of light as markers, then followed Li Chengyi as they flew away into the distance.

For three consecutive days.

Li Chengyi marked all potential locations retaining remnants of Rainbow Candy’s scent.

As he did not know from which specific spot she had left nor to which Blind Spot she had gone, he had no choice but to examine each one individually.

There were a total of thirty-two marked locations,

Of the rest of the people, Dragon Gate Crane had gone to a Blind Spot called Yun City. Da Xiong and Xiao Zhong, like Rainbow Candy, were missing without a trace.

Li Chengyi planned to visit them one by one.

After the locations were marked, the next step was to consider suitable candidates to remain in charge,

To prevent accidents during his absence.

Li Chengyi ordered Red God to establish a teleportation array to Panguang,

Facilitating Huo Qingkong, his senior brother, to move freely to and from Earth-Moon.

As a powerful expert capable of contending with him in full-power Divine Flower Gourmet state, Huo Qingkong was known to be kind-hearted, and aside from the possibility of going berserk, he was the one Li Chengyi trusted the most.

Moreover, now that he had become holder of a Floral Bead, establishing a teleportation to Panguang was even easier.

Thus, teleportation arrays were established for transit between Panguang, Mosha, Midlane, and Earth-Moon.

After entrusting the overall affairs to Huo Qingkong and Boss Xindela, Li Chengyi was about to embark on the path of retrieving the team members.

Retrieving members and completing the initial test of the sect could be achieved together for him.

But before that, there was one last thing he needed to do.

In the Mingyuan underground base near Suiyang City.

In the vast and empty cavern, Li Chengyi floated alone in midair, overlooking the ruined base structure below.

Houses had collapsed, and the area was littered with explosion and bullet holes, along with traces of high-temperature melting.

Clearly, this place had also experienced a brutal slaughter.

"Rose?" Li Chengyi called out softly.

No response.

"Rose?" he then called for the offspring of the Rose.

Still no response.

Only a few remaining spare energy lights cast a dim red glow on the base platform.

He sighed softly and, with a thought,

instantaneously descended from the sky above the cavern, landing with his feet on the platform’s surface.

With a wave of his hand.

Whoosh!

All the destroyed buildings and debris in front of him were cleared away by an invisible giant force.

The platform immediately became much tidier.

Then, Li Chengyi pressed his hand against the back of his left hand where the Evil Flower glowed with a purple light.

’Construct Tower of Wisdom?’ An inquiry message came.

’Yes!’

Li Chengyi answered in his mind.

’Please determine the location with your hand and retreat to a safe distance.’ Evil Flower continued to give feedback.

Li Chengyi chose a spot, walked to a location, and pointed at the ground with his finger.

Then he hastily retreated.

Silently, a ring of irregularly shaped tower base black lines appeared on the empty platform space.

Li Chengyi, seeing the black lines appear under his feet, quickly retreated further.

Boom...

Amidst a faint vibration, a two-story white stone tower, only over ten meters high, appeared out of thin air within the area outlined by the black lines.

At the top of the stone tower, a pale yellow giant sphere floated and rotated.

The tower’s surface was engraved with patterns of Three-ball Silk Floss Flower.

’Resources exhausted, building established.’ Evil Flower’s feedback ended.

Li Chengyi looked up at the newly appeared small tower; only over ten meters tall, it was indeed quite short.

Its form was compact, yet its functions were nothing short of extraordinary.

He walked forward, approaching the entrance of the Tower of Wisdom.

This small tower, similar to an obelisk, had a square doorway, with two door leaves carved with copious intricate unknown patterns that slowly opened automatically as Li Chengyi approached.

Inside the door was a bright and simple white hall.

The floor was paved with white stone slabs, and the walls and ceiling were white but emitted a faint white light.

In the middle of the first-floor hall stood a pyramid display stand with its tip cut off.

Upon the white stone-crafted display stand lay a book with a yellowed wax cover, old and tattered in appearance.

Li Chengyi slowly entered the door.

Just as he did, he received a prompt from Evil Flower in his mind.

’This year’s book has been obtained. The next retrieval date is September 13, one year later.’

’Is this the randomly obtained book?’ Li Chengyi pondered curiously as he stepped forward, stood in front of the display stand, picked up the book, and carefully leafed through it.

’Pig Farming Made Easy,’ by Faith Coleman, a world-renowned pig farming expert who spent eighteen years living and eating with pigs, profoundly understanding the habits of pig survival and reproduction...

"..." Li Chengyi fell silent.

’Really is no level restriction...’ After reading half of it reluctantly, he confirmed that it was indeed an agricultural manual specifically for pig farming...

Disappointed, he put the book down and went up to the second floor.

The second floor was empty, nothing at all.

He sighed, descended the stairs, and walked out of the Tower of Wisdom.

He had originally thought the Tower of Wisdom might require the significant protection of the eldest senior brother, but now it seemed...

That it was entirely unnecessary.

With a thought, Li Chengyi disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

This time, his mind finally settled, with no lingering regrets, he directly began the search for the Blind Spot Individuals of Rainbow Hall.

Mirror City.

Boom!!

A black warplane, engulfed in roaring flames, descended from the sky, crashing brutally onto the city streets.

The fighter jet exploded instantaneously, shattering into countless flaming fragments, the massive blast wave shattering the windows of nearby stores and buildings alike.

In a corner of the street, several men and women in sunglasses, running at high speed with futuristic-looking black long rifles on their backs, each dodged agilely, rolling into the alleys on both sides of the street, avoiding the violent explosion of the fighter jet.

Despite their timely evasions, the proximity of the powerful sonic boom still left their eardrums stabbing in pain, their heads buzzing.

"Boss! Let’s retreat!! The aerial forces of the Luolai Star System can’t hold on! If we stay here, we’re just courting death!"

One of the group, a ponytailed woman in camouflage pants and a black tank top, covered her bleeding right ear with one hand, and yelled at the leader lying on the ground ahead.
