Chapter 365: Chapter 344 Consolidation and Integration of Multiple Fragment Lands_1

Second Realm, on a Sword Boat.

Qi Qingsong and Zhuang Yuyan, both holding Sword Commands in their hands, furrowed their brows in deep thought.

"Later, we will contact the Sect,"

Zhuang Yuyan pondered for a moment, looked at Wu Yuan, Dong Tianze, as well as Zhou Qingchen and Zhao Yuanqi, and said, "Let’s discuss this first, to avoid inconsistencies in what we each say."

"Regarding our junior brother Pang Jian, we should try to say nothing at all, nothing about the Heart of Winter, nothing about the Thunder Pond, the Thunder Divine Court Fragments, and not a word about the Ming Prison Soul Bee. Remember, we know nothing."

"As for the other matters, those related to the Alien Tribes, everyone can answer truthfully."

"Regarding that Alien God from the Outer Realm, speaking of the Purgatory tribulations, just say we got the information through other Alien Tribe warriors. Let’s pretend to be clueless about the Lei Meng Beast God as well."

Zhuang Yuyan precautionarily laid down the plans.

"I’ll just say I fainted at that time and wasn’t aware of what was happening; you talk to the Sect about these things!" Zhao Yuanqi gave Zhou Qingchen, who was listening intently with a serious face, a sidelong glance and said, "I think you’re better at making up lies."

"Okay, I’ll talk to the Sect."

Zhou Qingchen agreed readily.

"Wu Yuan, the Demon Sect will surely interrogate you strictly; won’t you have any problem?" Zhuang Yuyan asked.

What she was most worried about was this genius from the Demon Sect.

With an expressionless face, Wu Yuan said, "I’m tight-lipped, you’ll see in time."

"Well, if you start spouting nonsense, all of us will join hands to testify against you, saying you killed Fu Wangchen and everyone in the Desolated Terrains, claiming your Spiritual Soul became contaminated by the Alien God!" Qi Qingsong said viciously, "Most importantly, you also committed fratricide by killing Chen Lushi."

Wu Yuan’s face darkened, and he kept quiet, brooding.

...

Third Realm, beneath the Meteorite Sea.

Panshi Fragment Land, under the power of the "Spirit of the Earth" Mysterious Turtle, was slowly merging with Ice-thunder Fragment Land.

The merging of the lands caused the nature’s spiritual energy of the Panshi Fragment Land to gradually seep into the Ice-thunder Fragment Land.

"How marvelous!"

The gigantic body of the Mysterious Turtle had reached underneath the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God, directly facing the miraculous Thunder Vein in its eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Its dense Blood and Flesh Essence Energy dissipated, and with its innate Divine Skills, it deciphered the mysteries of the Thunder Vein.

"I can’t see through it, it’s too miraculous, this thing is of huge help to me!"

The Mysterious Turtle was ecstatic.

The Forbidden Land of the Thunder God originally lay in the Thunder Prison and was a miraculous realm created by the Thunder God for the Thunder Divine Court.

The Thunder Pond used to be buried within this Fragment Land, which would gather Thunderous Lightning no matter where the land drifted in any realm.

However, once the Thunder Pond emerged from underground, the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God lost its ability to gather lightning and no longer held any hidden secrets.

Pang Jian had not expected that when the Mysterious Turtle merged with this piece of land, it would find a special Thunder Vein deep within the earth.

Seeing how excited the Mysterious Turtle was, he revealed the truth of the matter, "This Fragment Land doesn’t belong to Purgatory."

"A piece of land from another realm, hiding the profound mysteries of Thunderbolt?" the Mysterious Turtle was shocked.

"Yes, not just this Fragment Land, but another one also doesn’t belong to Purgatory."

"You brought back two pieces of land from other worlds?"

"This, this will probably give me significant improvements!"

The power of the Mysterious Turtle penetrated further into The Frozen Land.

The next moment.

"Below those glaciers and snow-capped peaks, there are many veins containing the profound secrets of extreme cold, and also... a vast amount of Extreme Cold Iron and Cold Crystals!"

"That piece of Fragment Land is full of Cold Ice Treasures!"

The Mysterious Turtle let out another cry of astonishment.

As the Spirit Vein extended and its aura spread out, it gradually made the Ice-thunder Fragment Land a territory under its control.

As the Spirit of the Earth, its penetrating power was incredibly astonishing, and the many marvels of the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God and The Frozen Land were laid bare under its power.

Those wonders that Pang Jian, bearing the Heart of Winter, had never perceived before were now unearthed in one go by the Mysterious Turtle.

Through it, Pang Jian gazed beneath the glaciers and snow-capped peaks.

He saw, deep within the bone-chilling cold earth, beneath the snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and the bottoms of ice lakes, many silvery blocks of iron, and shining, illuminated blocks of extreme cold crystals, all containing pure and rich cold forces.

Several lucid icy veins were located in the core depth of The Frozen Land, connected to the Heart of Winter on the Altar of Praying to God.

His spirit stirred.

"Huff!"

The Heart of Winter suddenly flew from the Altar of Praying to God, disappearing into his dantian, sinking to the bottom of the Ice Pool.

At the same time, with his special perception through the Mysterious Turtle and using the connection between the Heart of Winter and The Frozen Land, his sensations became more intuitive and clear.

The radiant icy veins connected snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and ice lakes within The Frozen Land, creating a mysterious and cold ice domain.

The Fragment Land naturally absorbed the cold energy existing outside of The Frozen Land.

"With the Heart of Winter serving as the Array Eye, the entire Frozen Land is like a divine territory spread out by the Ice Demon, constructed with snow peaks, glaciers, and ice lakes!"

"Snow peaks, glaciers, ice lakes, all are structural formations of a divine territory’s array!"

"The dense Extreme Cold Alien Power is dispersed in all things extremely cold and also in the underground extreme cold veins, deep within the Extreme Cold Iron and Cold Crystals."

"With the Heart of Winter in hand, as long as I am in this realm, I can command all forces deeply buried here."

"It’s akin to controlling an extraordinarily large and magical array."

Pang Jian realized with a sense of understanding.

After that, he thought of the Thunder Pond, which was also situated in the Spiritual Sea of the dantian.

"The two cases are entirely different."

"The Thunder Pond has absorbed the thunderous power accumulated over tens of thousands of years in the Fragment Land, with the energy concentrated in one place. Once I take the Thunder Pond away, this Forbidden Land of Thunder God will no longer possess those magical mysteries."

"Unless, the vein that contains the thunderbolt profound argumentation, after long periods of accumulation, becomes strong enough to attract thunderous lightning."

"Unless, the Forbidden Land of Thunder God is once again adorned with countless waterfalls of lightning in the sky."

"..."

Pang Jian pondered quietly.

He soon realized that the "Heart of Winter" could only exert its full power within The Frozen Land, and its might would significantly diminish if it left the Fragment Land.

The Thunder Pond, however, was different.

As long as he could comprehend the profound argumentation of the Thunderbolt Dao Mark, no matter where he was, invoking the Thunder Pond would grant him boundless power.

"But the Old Thunder Dragon is in Purgatory; once the Thunder Pond leaves the dantian, such an existence, as fierce as a lion or a tiger, would sense it, and certainly, the Old Thunder Dragon would as well... "

With these thoughts, his golden Spiritual Soul suddenly descended and settled above the Thunder Pond.

He tried sensing with the Thunder Pond.

A wildly restless and surging aura of thunder abruptly locked in his perception through the Thunder Pond, deep within the Dragon Cave on the Saint Spirit Continent of the Second Realm!

"As I thought!"

Pang Jian’s spirit became resolute.

Indeed, the Thunder Pond crafted by the Thunder God could search and sense the thunders of the heavens; that lion or tiger-like different kind, along with the Old Thunder Dragon of Purgatory, could all be located by the Thunder Pond within a certain distance.

"If I become a True God, or even just ascend to the Immortal Realm, as long as I refine this Thunder Pond, I’ll be able to restrict the Old Thunder Dragon with it!"

"With the Thunder Pond in hand, I’ll certainly be able to contribute to the killing of that Old Thunder Dragon."

"But before that happens, the existence of this Thunder Pond must not be exposed lightly, otherwise..."

He suddenly felt lucky.

He was glad that Chen Lushi, Lu Jie from the Desolated Terrains, and others had left earlier on a ship.

Amid the boundless Misty Sea, he hadn’t seen any trace of Chen Lushi and the others through the golden bee insects; maybe that ship would get lost again, and everyone on board would slowly perish.

"Qi Qingsong, Zhou Qingchen, Zhuang, Zhao Yuanqi, Dong Tianze, and... Wu Yuan."

He slightly furrowed his brows, worried there might be trouble with Wu Yuan.

If the Old Thunder Dragon from the Dragon Cave learned of his possession of the Thunder Pond, considering the Old Thunder Dragon’s ferocious temperament and its level ten warrior strength...

Pang Jian felt heavy-hearted.

The consolidation of the Fragment Lands was still in progress.

"Huff! Huff! Huh-huff!"

The extension of the Underground Spirit Vein caused the rich nature’s spiritual energy of Panshi Fragment Land to gradually pour into the two Fragment Lands of ice and thunder, flowing into the living areas of the Ice Tribe people.

At the Altar of Praying to God.

"This power, is it the spiritual energy upon which the Human Race depends for life?"

Five Elders of the Ice Tribe, along with many tribespeople, all inhaled the smooth and nondescript spiritual energy amidst the icy air.

They took deep breaths, feeling that this spiritual energy could be refined into their bodies, indeed strengthening their constitution.

"Elders!"

A tribesperson who had cultivated to level seven said with a trembling voice as the nature’s spiritual energy rushed in: "I don’t know why, but because of the influx of nature’s spiritual energy, because of our fusion with another Fragment Land of Purgatory..."

"I feel that the Great Tao we lacked is being repaired and restored somewhat."

"This originally incomplete and broken Fragment Land seems to no longer limit our bloodline!"

"Level seven, level eight, level nine, should not be the end anymore!"

"We..."

With ice crystals in his eyes, he said, "We might have the chance here, to ascend to God Spirits! Just like our ancestor, the Ice Demon!"

All the Ice Tribe people were immensely shaken.

Suddenly, they felt that following Pang Jian into the strange Purgatory, into a world at odds with the gods of the Outer Realm, might not have been a mistake.

...

As time drifted by.

The disintegration of the Heaven Phoenix bones was nearing its end beneath the Meteorite Sea, and the consolidation of Fragment Lands was about to conclude.

The Mysterious Turtle occasionally burst out with ecstatic shouts.

Pang Jian had moved the glacier located in the Forbidden Land of the Thunder God to The Frozen Land and remained in the wooden house in the Cloud Wilderness himself.

The hardships of the Purgatory Human Tribe, the threat of the Thunder Dragon, and the immeasurably powerful Luo Hongyan, all exerted immense pressure on him, driving him into a frenzy of fervent cultivation.

He planned to refine his whole body’s blood to reach the state of Great Perfection of blood essence, then continuously condense his Spiritual Soul in the manner described in the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell, and decipher some of the profound truths within the Thunder Pond, before returning to the Sword Tower.

Only after achieving this would he be apt to seek the Great Creation Sacred Body and the subsequent techniques of the Pot Heaven Nourishing Qi Spell at the Sword Tower.

That was why he had kept the Sword Command in his storage ring, not communicating with Pu Zhaotian.

That day.

"Ah, good things never come our way, but misfortune... always finds us Individual Cultivators."

"Isn’t that the truth? With Filth Alien Power continuously surging up, the Third Realm is doomed to be enveloped. Why aren’t we allowed to leave?"

"Ordinary people, those below the Hollow Profound Realm, can go, so why can’t we?"

Individual Cultivators wandered above the sea of clouds, on the meteorites, sighing heavily, expressing their inner frustration and indignation.
