Chapter 744: Chapter 337: Civilization Death Countdown

Did they truly believe that Fu Jian, in his efforts to support the Spiritual Ability City, could forgive these Spiritual Ability Users for their previous assassination attempts on him?

These are completely different matters.

Master Wang couldn’t be bothered to mingle with them. Once he confirmed the Blade Beasts had shifted to defense, he retreated into the Sixth Pillar to hide.

Firstly, he wanted to ponder over methods to break through cultivation, waiting quietly for Mu Dan to search for the location of the Golden Mist Fruit.

Secondly, he worried those Galino might inquire about his location as a ’new entity,’ thus triggering a new Blade Beast Tide, so he decided to lay low for a while.

Daoist had been hiding for over a dozen hours when three pieces of news arrived at his side simultaneously.

One bad news:

The Blade Beasts retreated, but not entirely.

They congregated in the original Americas region on Earth, frantically devouring the strata to expand their numbers. The Sky Eye hovering above the Arctic Circle continued to gather the Spiritual Energy that drifted away from the planet.

The twenty-seven-day opening cycle of the interstellar gate had been largely confirmed.

It was foreseeable;

If they couldn’t find a way to prevent more Blade Beasts from reaching Earth, the next step for Spirit Cultivators would be to prepare to abandon the ancient treasures here and flee for their lives.

And Wang Jixuan would completely lose the peaceful environment for cultivation, likely forced to use Escape Skills to play a game of tag with the Blade Beasts.

Represented by the D5 Combined Combat Zone, human civilization would be like a small Mars in the cosmic star sea, extinguished in the tide of Blade Beasts.

Twenty-seven days seemed to become the countdown to the death of civilization.

The other two pieces of news were good.

One concerned Medicinal herbs.

Taking advantage of the Blade Beast Tide attacking the Arctic Region, Mu Dan dispatched reconnaissance aircraft into the Blade Beast control zone, discovering dozens of herbs that Wang Jixuan could use for Alchemy, including the Golden Mist Fruit.

Now, Mu Dan had sent out an airborne assault herb harvesting mechanical squad, capable of completing the gathering within ten hours.

Pursuing efficiency and stability.

Another good news came from Gao Huating.

"Xiao Huating says her past self can help close the interstellar gate?"

"Sir, that’s what Xiao Huating’s past self said."

Mu Dan replied cautiously:

"She also mentioned that if there is human intervention, the planetary barrier can still reopen.

"Although she is quite helpless and disappointed about the current situation of the Spirit Cultivators, she is willing to share the method to enter the ancient civilization for the purpose of protecting normal humans."

"But, she hopes that those entering the ancient civilization can pass her test."

"Test?" Wang Jixuan leaned slightly back.

Mu Dan shrugged: "Her exact words were ’test.’

Master Wang rubbed his forehead and sighed softly: "Her ways, I can’t quite pin down, nor can I say whether she is good or bad; she seems like a wandering soul... Yet, I always feel that every occurrence is not accidental but inevitably lacking some information unknown to us, just like when I didn’t realize I couldn’t survive the catastrophe."

"Hmm?"

Mu Dan asked softly:

"Are there still problems, sir, that you can’t solve?"

"Yes, many."

Wang Jixuan said:

"Report this matter to Lao Fu, let him decide.

"I’ll recommend four candidates here, Wu Man, Shen Qionglin, Red Snake, Amina."

"Eh... Sir, is there a possibility that she meant for you to participate in the trial?"

"Me? Trial?"

Wang Jixuan chuckled and walked to the fridge in the corner to get himself a bottle of industrial tea, mumbling:

"What level is her civilization, yet she wants me to participate in the trial.

"If only I could cultivate within the body of the Pillar Blade Beast for ten years, I could overturn the heavens here."

Mu Dan blinked.

There it was again, the sir’s enigmatic confidence.

Quite charming.

...

Amina was currently very irritable.

She stayed underground in the Spiritual Ability City for half a day, eventually parting unhappily with the Three Brightness Spiritual Cultivation.

Amina was shrewd enough not to rashly seek out Wang Jixuan; instead, she directly returned to the ruins of the Fortress No. 76, paused for a few hours, and then used the Secret Technique taught by Wang Jixuan, transforming into a butterfly to head straight for the location of the Sixth Pillar.

Wang Jixuan didn’t treat her as an outsider, directly instructing Mu Dan to bring her to the residence zone opened in the Outer Bone Zone of the Sixth Pillar.

Here, there was a one-bedroom three-living-room setup, fully furnished, with prohibition-reinforced wooden panels to resist the pressure from the Pillar Blade Beast Outer Bone. The illumination array and Wind Resistance Array engraved on the ceiling ensured ample light and smooth warm air.

"It’s quite nice here."

Amina looked around.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand in invitation, smiled and said: "After all, to stay closed-off for a long time, it naturally needs tidying up. How is the harvest from this battle?"

"Nothing much gained, but I discovered that these three Bright Wings old timers are also divided."

Amina gathered her skirts, gracefully using her supple hands to smooth the edges, and sat in the reception chair in Wang Jixuan’s drawing-room.

She spoke softly:

"Wanda didn’t join the oath, which is a potential danger.

"I spent half a day there hoping to force Wanda into this oath, to fight Blade Beasts to the end, but he seems to agree more with the contract with Blade Beasts."

"His life is nearing its end."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Did numbers One and Three not act against this Wanda?"

"Why should they?" Amina retorted.

"They clearly have opposing views!"

"Having opposing views doesn’t mean they can’t work together; they are still closely supporting partners."

Amina’s smile was mostly helpless.

She whispered: "I did slip up this time, inadvertently confirming your survival, but the good news is, the Blade Beasts don’t know about it yet. I’ve negotiated with them, and no one is allowed to openly mention the Black Storm."
