Chapter 387: Chapter 187 Daoist’s Unexpected Effect

The Young King Worm Nest was already seventy percent filled. A Blade Beast Breeding Room had been purposely preserved here, along with several adult Blade Beast specimens and clusters of...

glowing stone slabs.

"It’s this stuff."

The only ordinary person in the team, Zhou Zhengde, clad in a pressure-resistant suit with an oxygen supply system, explained weakly:

"We can’t collect these stones. On the ground, they seem a bit like crystal, but as soon as you pick them up, they just fall apart...

"Our methods can’t detect any energy inside them.

"Scientific institutions conducted various analyses on the fragments, and the only conclusion was that this is a type of stone material, closely resembling natural crystal.

"But look at these Blade Beast bodies; as long as they are around these glowing stone slabs, the Crystal Cores within their bodies gradually increase in Spiritual Energy.

"Without the Blade Beasts, just placing various Crystal Cores around does not result in an increase in Spiritual Energy."

Wang Jixuan added, "This Young King Worm Nest contains many such things; they seem to enable the Blade Beasts to mature gradually from juveniles."

Zhou Zhengde continued, "Outside the Blade Beast Nest, we haven’t found these glowing stone slabs. Moreover, when this nest was breached, those Blade Beasts deliberately destroyed these stones... This is the first time we rapidly cleared them out and managed to preserve these stones."

Zhou Zhengde pointed at Wang Jixuan:

"He did it."

Wang Jixuan shrugged: "Just following orders."

Tree Man Beta exclaimed in admiration, "You wiped out a nest all by yourself!"

Shaman couldn’t help but praise, "Your endurance is so... I mean, is your Spiritual Energy so robust?"

"They were just larvae," Wang Jixuan explained, somewhat sheepishly.

He had been practicing hard for many years and was rather shy.

Shen Qionglin slowly squatted down, took out a pair of sterile gloves and safety goggles from her jacket pocket, and gingerly moved closer for inspection.

She actually carried these items with her all the time.

Shen Qionglin tried to pick up a fragment from the ground, but like a delicate chocolate confection, it quickly collapsed into powder.

She pondered carefully.

Wang Jixuan and others waited quietly by the side.

Shaman suddenly realized something, her eyes wide with shock, she asked, "Hey, wasn’t it that you were taking just the two of us on a tour of the fortress’s interior ecology? Why have we suddenly gotten involved in important secrets here?"

Wang Jixuan smiled without saying a word.

Zhou Zhengde hurriedly explained, "This is just a scientific discovery, not a military secret; don’t worry."

Skepticism filled Shaman’s eyes.

Wang Jixuan inwardly sighed; originally keeping this young woman had been somewhat of a mistake, how much better it would have been to only keep Tree Man Beta so easy to manage...

Yet it wasn’t really deception.

As a bona fide Cultivator, how could he possibly deceive a purely good youth.

It was merely becoming a bit closer, that’s all.

About twenty minutes later, Shen Qionglin collected some ash-like samples.

"I can’t be sure what this is either, but, I have some guesses."

"What guesses?"

"About the origins of the Blade Beasts."

Shen Qionglin took off her gloves, pulled out a bag she carried, neatly folded the gloves and put them away, then hurriedly said:

"You may not be aware, but Blade Beasts are actually creations of the Spirit Cultivators’ civilization."

Wang Jixuan and Zhou Zhengde exchanged a look, the brothers tacitly nodded, their expression showing a slight shock and a strong desire to learn more.

Shen Qionglin was pleased with their expressions, speaking rapidly:

"The ivotrainingSpirit Cultivators’ civilization information I’ve been studying was provided by the Six Elders, many aspects are definitely not comprehensive.

"They’ve scrambled the complete intelligence, distributed it across a dozen teams, many details I can only guess."

"However, what I can confirm is that the Blade Beasts’ Creators are the Spirit Cultivators’ civilization, but the Blade Beasts went out of control, becoming a massive interstellar calamity, defeating the Spirit Cultivators’ civilization."

"Now, the Spirit Cultivators’ civilization are likely seeking an opportunity for a resurgence through taking over other shells."

"The attacks by the Blade Beasts on humanity might be aimed at destroying our human race, a fledgling civilization that could inherit the Spirit Cultivators’ civilization... This is my guess."

"Blade Beasts were designed as war and mining machines to serve the Spirit Cultivators’ civilization."

"I’ve checked many sources and even secured some of the results from other teams researching Spirit Cultivators’ civilization through stealing and exchanging information, but nobody has figured out one thing."

"Exactly what kind of ore were the Blade Beasts mining?"

"The Spirit Cultivators had the Blade Beasts mine and even spread them across the stars, endowing them with the ability to move through space, possibly causing significant damage or even direct destruction of many rudimentary civilizations like ours."

"This discovery here might shed light on that—it could be some special ore that the Blade Beasts were collecting.."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment, "It seems we still haven’t found much."

Shen Qionglin pressed her lips together, slightly indignant.

Master Wang chuckled to himself.

It looked like he wouldn’t need to worry about researching and exploring these glowing stone slabs anymore.

Experts in D5 will research this matter!

"Let’s head back up," Zhou Zhengde said with a pale face, "I can barely hold on."

"Oh," Shaman made a face of disgust, "you are really weak."

Zhou Zhengde:...

He was just an ordinary human!

Tree Man Beta stepped forward to support Zhou Zhengde, Wang Jixuan gave the cluster of glowing stones a few more glances, laughed to himself, and then turned to leave.

This matter probably has nothing to do with Cultivation, so it isn’t something to worry about.

The group discussed where to go next.

Zhou Zhengde strongly requested that Wang Jixuan start a video call with Fu Jian, and Wang Jixuan readily agreed, saying he’d do it as soon as they got back.
