"You brat, you still dare to slack off under my watch! Today, I'm punishing you to mine in the Ghost District! If you don't mine five units, don't even think about leaving!"
The overseer swung his whip and left angrily.
Yang Ling covered his reddened face and still wore a smile. But after the overseer walked away, he indignantly spat out: "What kind of person..."
"Bang!" A cracking sound suddenly echoed on Yang Ling's face. The overseer's voice ca from afar: "Idiot, I'm a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, my Spiritual Sense range far exceeds yours. Next ti you want to curse , keep a distance. Also, today you need to mine six units of Spirit Stones!"
Yang Ling quickly shut his mouth. He didn't want an additional task.
Spirit Stones are minerals infused with a high concentration of Spiritual Energy. The presence of Spiritual Energy strengthens the energy level of chemical bonds, making Spirit Stones far harder than ordinary minerals. Foundation Establishnt Cultivators can smash them with bare hands, but Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators struggle to mine unless they cultivate rare special techniques.
But why would soone with profound Cultivation Techniques co to be a miner?
Yang Ling gritted his teeth: "That guy just wants to kill !"
"Hey, you brat, better say less!"
"This Ghost District is a mined-out zone, I heard it's haunted!"
"Hahaha, just mining Spirit Stones in an empty zone is a lot of work, plus you have to watch out for ghosts..."
"No matter what, he's still a cultivator..."
"Yeah, yeah, maybe this waste secretly wishes to encounter ghosts for a taste of Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation!"
Feeling the surrounding sarcasm, Yang Ling's mouth twitched, wanting to retort: "At most, you all capture so stinky and ugly mortal females to vent." But he knew saying this would surely lead to a beating.
With heavy resentnt, Yang Ling descended into the mine pit.
The entire mine cave was empty, pitch dark, not a finger could be seen. Considering the task of mining five units of Spirit Stones, Yang Ling was stingy with his mana, he dared not use spells for lighting, nor did he want to use a talisman, so he simply walked in the dark.
Soon, water had risen to his waist. This section of the mine had severe water seepage, and could collapse at any ti. Yang Ling cursed the overseer in his heart seventy to eighty tis. Then, he ignited a Lighting Talisman. A sphere of light rose from his hand, slowly ascending, illuminating the entire mine cave. Only then did he shake out the map in his hand to verify his exact location.
Perhaps sensing his mana, a ghostly blue light suddenly appeared not far away.
"What?" Yang Ling's heart jolted, and he rembered tales of "ghosts."
Ordinary ghosts wouldn't be taken seriously by cultivators. However, this is a Spirit Stone Veins, the Spiritual Power is stronger than usual, and soulless spirits easily survive here. So of these spirits continue to grow strong due to instinct, becoming vicious. Among them, so pose threats even to high-order cultivators.
—Hope I'm not the one to run into them...
Yang Ling slowly backed away. Then, the blue light suddenly rushed towards his chest.
Next, he heard a strange, authoritative voice.
"Mining system initializing."
"Searching for binder, confird, cultivator..."
..........................................
Wang Qi whistled: "Old man, who do you think will pick up my third-generation system?"
"You threw it into a wasteland, how can it be so quick?"
Zhen Chan, who had risen to beco Wang Qi's dedicated voice for his pirated add-ons, snorted twice. Even he now harbored a "when will my work debut" anticipation.
"The third-generation system uses the latest technology, cos with elixirs, binds a storage space, rewards are delivered promptly—though the rewards run out, then it's useless. In short, it's a completely hands-free new generation product." Wang Qi shook his head and sighed: "If I had thought of this idea at the start of making the Reincarnation Realm, how great would it be!"
—Delivering personally as a Main God! Is there anything more degrading?
Directly bind a space equivalent to a vending machine, and then whatever they exchange for just pops out, wouldn't that be great!
However, this technology was also just recently developed by Wang Qi.
The core of this technology is constructing a virtual form Spirit Sense over real form Spirit Power. The "system" is a sub-type of virtual form techniques. The stronger the system, the stronger Wang Qi's understanding of virtual system.
He swiftly advanced through the many paths on Spirit Phoenix Island. At the mont, the entire Spirit Phoenix Island was in a state of martial law, and everyone was on edge. The Holy Emperor Venerable's incident of slaughtering fifty thousand Ancient thod Practitioners with a flick of the wrist indeed caused them an imnse shock. Now, there aren't many low-level cultivators willing to step out.
The overseer of that mining area was so furious, for this reason. Amidst the panic, these people need to vent.
Wang Qi quickly walked forward, and suddenly he halted, then headed towards the territory of a sect nearby, the miscellaneous workers sweeping the floor turned a blind eye to him. Wang Qi skillfully walked into a cluster of decorative shrubs, hid himself, closed his eyes and concealed his breath, as if he had beco one with heaven and earth.
About a quarter of an hour later, a cultivator dressed in bright silver court attire flew across the do.
That is the patrolling cultivator, the martial cultivator of Emperor's Extre Split Sky Dao, Tao Guanhong.
After that cultivator had left for a quarter of an hour, Wang Qi then continued towards the Heavenly Book Tower.
Wang Qi had the ability to sense these Unification Stage cultivators. Although neither the Holy Emperor Venerable nor Wang Qi could currently perform real-ti monitoring on Unification Stage cultivators who had achieved perfection in Divine Separation Sense Transformation and were nearing the Unity of My thod, their perception could still cover the whole Spirit Phoenix Island. Where the heart demon mystic net was disturbed, Wang Qi would know where a Unification Stage Cultivator had arrived.
The aura emanated by Unification Stage cultivators serves as a powerful source of interference.
Along the way, he constantly took detours. Sotis he would cut through a sect, while at other tis he would follow narrow paths. Not only did he need to avoid Unification Stage cultivators, he also needed to evade Divine Separation Stage cultivators. As for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, Wang Qi did not regard them as a concern now. It was best to avoid them, but if he couldn't, he could leave before a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator noticed or silence them before they could raise the alarm.
In this way, Wang Qi soon entered the Heavenly Book Tower.
"That undercover is the Unification Stage elder Xu Xueqing of the Heavenly Book Tower…" Wang Qi recalled the intelligence he had just received: "Amidst the Demon Emperor's turmoil for probing the secrets of Modern and capturing people, she was caught. However, since she is an heir of dical path, she inherently had empirical thoughts, and her path wasn't very far from Modern, so it was fine with slight adjustnts. Therefore, she willingly switched sides. But, since there is no thod to safely transform a Unification Stage cultivator into the Primordial Spirit Stage or Void Refining Period, she never officially joined the Immortal Alliance; she went back to Spirit Phoenix Island and beca the inside responder for the Immortal Alliance… I always thought this introduction was sowhat unreliable. By that ti, the Modern Immortal Path should already know how dreadful the Banished Immortal was, right?"
"Speaking of which, how exactly do you plan to find that person and reveal your identity to her without Saint Emperor Zun noticing?" Zhen Chan inquired.
The principle for the Immortal Alliance to deal with the Holy Emperor Venerable was "safety first." Previously, Wang Qi and this Unification Stage undercover didn't know each other's identities. No matter which side was exposed, it wouldn't implicate the other. Only now, after Wang Qi established the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, almost placing himself in an invincible position, did the Immortal Alliance disclose information about the other undercover to Wang Qi.
This Unification Stage undercover has been here since the early days of the Immortal Alliance. At that ti, even the concept of calculators had just erged, and there was no ntion of the likes of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. The Immortal Alliance hadn't gone to such lengths as to establish the Heavenly Sword throughout the solar system or build a Heavenly Based Magical Device System. To avoid suspicion, Xu Xueqing, over these few hundred years, apart from receiving instructions from the Holy Emperor Venerable to hunt Sea Demons, hadn't left Spirit Phoenix Island a single step, and the Immortal Alliance had no contacts with her. So, her communication with the Immortal Alliance surely wasn't as convenient as it was with Wang Qi.
Perhaps until now, this undercover still doesn't know that the Immortal Alliance sent another person over.
"Very simple. Unification Stage power can be seen both as a source of interference and as a 'firewall.'" Wang Qi grimly smiled: "For soone like , breaking through the wall isn't simple?"
Zhen Chan was startled: "Hey, hey, you're not planning to first infect her with the Divine Plague Curse Technique, are you?"
"Benign, removable, interfering with her vision to let her know I'm here." Wang Qi walked towards the Heavenly Book Tower: "But for now, taking down a Unification Stage cultivator will still require so effort… the first step would be to infect the Heavenly Book Tower!"
The core of the Heavenly Book Tower is nad "Langhuan Book Tower." Zhen Chan scorned this na. Originally, when Luofu Xuanqing Palace still existed, and the Nine Towers and Twelve Pavilions of the Immortal Palace were around. With Langhuan Pavilion existing first, the owner of Luofu Xuanqing Palace naturally wouldn't allow other buildings with similar nas. Two thousand years ago, Luofu Xuanqing Palace once pressured the Heavenly Book Tower to change its na.
But as Luofu Xuanqing Palace was annihilated, the Heavenly Book Tower reverted the na to Langhuan Book Tower again.
From this incident, it is not difficult to see that the Heavenly Book Tower's cultivation techniques and developnt direction overlap significantly with Luofu Xuanqing Palace. These two sects naturally opposed each other everywhere.
Besides Langhuan Book Tower, Heavenly Book Tower also features forty-eight Library Pavilions and seven Academies. Each of the forty-eight Library Pavilions is guarded and practiced by high-level cultivators. The seven Academies are used to cultivate low-level disciples.
Compared to the ethereal and mysterious Cloud Immortal Intent of Luochen Sword Palace, Heavenly Book Tower provides another level of ntal realm.
Wisdom, Holy Virtue.
That is the path of the Heavenly Book Tower.
"Alright, the first thing is to sneak in…" Wang Qi looked around, searching for a suitable low-level disciple. Soon, he locked on his target.
After confirming there were no high-level cultivators around, Wang Qi knocked the disciple unconscious in broad daylight, then stripped the other of his clothes and took his magic artifact.
Nobody knew.
