Dragon Five Island emitted a dull, strange sound as a whole. Far away, a wisp of black smoke burst forth from the mouth of the volcano, as if the small island had just feasted on human lives, letting out a satisfied little belch.
After feeling the slight tremor of the ground, Mao Zimiao was sowhat surprised. Wang Qi then dismissed the calculators around him and extinguished the talismans, saying dejectedly, "I took it too far."
"What's wrong, ow?"
"I scared those guys witless," Wang Qi pointed towards the cave mouth. There, a faint ghostly light was emanating, "It seems they had already seized partial control of the ruins. After that move just now, they completely crumbled and activated the full power of the ruins. Imdiately afterward, they used a teleportation array that traversed the void and escaped to so other place."
They probably wanted to follow this relic that suppresses the True Color Sin to block the Yellow Robed King's path. Unfortunately, once they're associated with the Cthulhu Evil God, they can never escape its call... cough cough, the Yellow Robed King's body is the Heart Demon Curse System. Without pulling out the Heart Demon Curse, they'll never shake off the Yellow Robed King. Wang Qi could at any mont invoke "Call of Cthulhu" or "Whispers of the Witch Demon King" on them.
Zhen Chan was silent for quite a while, "Kid, you really haven't been cultivating for even ten years, have you?"
Advancing to Nascent Soul at three hundred years old was the normal pace during the Ancient thod Era, and among Divine Separation Stage Cultivators, except for the very few with extraordinary talent, the majority were around one thousand years old.
Ten years, crushing a thousand years.
This ant that their efficiency differed by over a hundredfold!
Wang Qi modestly replied, "Oh no, all this is thanks to the power of external objects."
Mao Zimiao was sowhat anxious, "Xiao Qi, where have they escaped to? What about Shiqin and the others?"
Wang Qi pointed vaguely in the direction of Dragon Five Island, "Probably over there, I'm sure. I bet Old Ai and Shiqin are also there."
"Then you must hurry and save them!" Mao Zimiao said, "You can now defeat Divine Separation Stage Cultivators, right?"
Wang Qi shook his head, "I must clarify that I can't face Divine Separation head-on, rather, I use the Heart Demon Curse to suppress over half of a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator's power, and then defeat him. Even then, I can't fight even those crippled Divine Separations at the mont."
"Why?"
"That Divine Separation Stage old thief left behind most of the cultivators and only took a few trusted Nascent Souls with him." Wang Qi said, "The system's main body is on this island right now."
Now, the system's main body was on Dragon Five Island; if Wang Qi allowed the Yellow Robed King to manifest on Dragon Six Island, it would lose its power to contend with Divine Separation, and there would also be a delay of a fraction of a second.
The safest asure was to bring all the Ancient thod Practitioners who'd been turned into Heart Demon Puppets to Dragon Six Island and reassemble a subsystem of the level they just had.
Mao Zimiao was anxious, "What should we do?"
"Don't worry, just wait a bit," was the reply.
Right now, the cultivators who had fled to Dragon Six Island were all carrying the Heart Demon Curse and Divine Plague Curse Technique with them. They were living sources of infection. They would set off a new wave of infection on the island opposite.
"Now, we just wait for the Heart Demon Curse to spread over there." Wang Qi's hand rested on the relic, "Additionally, I need to think about how to rescue the Ancient thod Practitioners trapped inside. They are all precious combat forces."
The Heart Demon Curse didn't have a very strong physical impact; those who were affected could even beco immune to the physical damage brought by the Heart Demon Curse. And since Universal Calamity was an area-of-effect skill, most of the Ancient thod Practitioners should still be alive.
Furthermore, it was necessary to re-program the Heart Demon System based on this discovery. Also, carefully recall the feeling just now, to confirm whether the combat experience gained in that kind of "ga" was really useful. If useful, consider developing a new ga with Path Rank that could boost combat experience in a short ti – preferably with ti perception distortion and consciousness acceleration of a thousand-fold. Additionally, consider the feasibility of making the "Divine Spirit Body" into a Gundam; absorb Dragon Clan Martial Arts…
Utilizing his multitasking mind, Wang Qi assigned himself many tasks.
Mao Zimiao nodded, then with a serious expression said to Wang Qi, "Xiao Qi... actually, I just made a discovery, ow."
"What is it?"
"The vegetation here, it's too strange." Mao Zimiao earnestly said, "Here, the disparity between plant and plant is too great."
Wang Qi blinked, "Is that wrong?"
Mao Zimiao struggled with wording, "I don't know how to say this, ow... Here, it's rare to see two similar plants, it's like every plant differs more than just a 'species'… and even more absurd is that I think I've even found two new 'genera' under the palm family..."
With over a thousand years of developnt, Shenzhou's taxonomy was even more advanced than Earth's. It was already difficult to find new "species" on this planet, let alone new "genera"; those were practically unthinkable.
However, Mao Zimiao actually said that she felt she had just easily discovered two new genera.
"Could it be because this small island is isolated from the mainland, so its ecosystem is completely different?" Wang Qi furrowed his brow, "This island's geological era is asured in tens of millions of years. Perhaps it really... truly might be possible..."
No, there might be another possibility.
The island had already been infected by the power of the Eternal True Color. The orderliness of the plant genes had vanished, and the gap between progenitor and progeny had already exceeded the species, even genus level.
"It looks like it's very necessary to go down and take a look now..." Wang Qi felt the flow of spiritual power within the relics, "This ti, we might need to call in the Heavenly Sword for a strike..."

When Nie Tianren arrived inside Dragon Six's ruins with a few Nascent Soul cultivators, there were many people around. Upon seeing him, all the Golden Core cultivators hurriedly paid their respects, while a few Nascent Soul cultivators gathered around, wanting to ask for guidance from this Divine Separation stage senior.
The speed at which Wang Qi conquered the Dragon Five ruins was simply too fast; more than half of the cultivators had not yet understood what had happened when they were engulfed by the wave of Heart Demons brought by the Universal Calamity. The cultivators inside the Dragon Six ruins didn't know that such a major event had occurred on the other side.
Their intelligence was still stuck at the phase of "That Foundation Establishnt cultivator is very tricky, roughly equivalent to a Nascent Soul."
"Don't co over!" Nie Tianren bellowed, gesturing for the Dragon Six Islands' cultivators to back off. He didn't even dare to force them back with Hand Wind. Within the brief confrontation, he'd already sensed the ans of transmission of the Great Curse of the Heart Demon and was aware of his own state. The cultivators of Dragon Six Islands might not know what exactly had happened, but they could probably tell that this Divine Separation stage cultivator was in a very bad mood, so they also refrained from troubling him further.
"Where is Heavenly Master Wang?" Nie Tianren inquired, "I've been ambushed, and I need his help!"
"Replying to Senior, the Heavenly Master is currently breaking the sixth seal..."
"Call him out. If we don't resolve the issue with now, we may all fall here." Nie Tianren said, "By the way, where is the heretic you all captured?"
Compared to the life-and-death battle between Wang Qi and the Dragon Five ruins' cultivators, Ai Changyuan's side was undoubtedly more harmonious. At least for the mont, he was able to sit down with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator and pleasantly discuss spell issues. Those Ancient thod Practitioners had even placed Wu Shiqin together with him. This was to calm him and also to make it clear that their lives were still in their hands.
"From here... near the Great Void, not passing through the ridians, directly leap to this Futu Acupoint... No, no, no, not through the ridians. You want the mana to circle from the outside of the knee, like a field, do you understand a field?"
"A 'field'... The concept of the vast void?"
Ai Changyuan held his forehead, "I will try to describe it again in a language that you can understand. A field is..."
When Nie Tianren arrived at the place where Ai Changyuan was imprisoned, he saw such a scene. He was sowhat puzzled, stepping back a few steps, and quietly asked a Golden Core cultivator, "What's going on here? I heard that this guy sold his family's divine skills to save his life, right?"
That attitude seed a bit too enthusiastic. He couldn't help but suspect there was a trick.
"Among the Modern Heretics, there are many fools like this who don't think about making progress or strengthening themselves but instead focus on so nonsensical issues all day long," replied the Golden Core cultivator, "I heard this kid seems to be a follower of soone like Ji Midu, willing to die over an equation, which is understandable."
Nie Tianren looked puzzled at the Heavenly Book Tower's Nascent Soul who was proudly attracting a few small pebbles with newly acquired mana. He thought that birds of a feather flock together. How could the fierce heretic from before be friends with such a weirdo. But after thinking about it, he still approached Ai Changyuan.
anwhile, Ai Changyuan was contemplating whether to escape right now. This was an opportunity. The Nascent Soul cultivator had developed a hint of gravitic mana inside him, which was a huge backdoor. He could follow the slight amount of power now and use the gravity's property of traversing space-ti to tear apart the True Spirit inside the other party's Nascent Soul, destroy the consciousness of this Nascent Soul cultivator, and then take over his mana. Afterward, he could activate the Cave Heaven Ruler or perform Space Traversal to escape and release his own seal. As long as he let Wu Shiqin escape on her own, an unencumbered and full-strength Ai Changyuan would not fear any Nascent Soul.
But, if he failed to seize this chance to implant that "backdoor" into every Ancient thod Practitioner's body, it would be sowhat regrettable, and the subsequent escape would be much more difficult. Just then, he saw a tall elder emitting faint blue curse light.
Ai Changyuan's eyes widened.
This aura... Damn, it can't be... Old Wang, you... ca up with the sa idea as !
Seeing Nie Tianren approaching, the Heavenly Book Tower's Nascent Soul cultivator quickly stood up to pay respects, "Senior Nie."
Senior? Divine Separation stage cultivator?
Nie Tianren asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Replying to Senior, Young Master Ai understands the greater good and is currently helping us create an unprecedented spell," the Heavenly Book Tower cultivator said triumphantly. Initially, two Golden Cores from the Heavenly Book Tower were assisting Ai Changyuan, but soon, they felt they couldn't keep up with Ai Changyuan's ideas, so they switched to this Nascent Soul.
Nie Tianren nodded and then looked toward Ai Changyuan.
Just then, Ai Changyuan retreated in horror and slamd into the wall. He seed to see sothing terrifying, and shrieked, "Don't co over! Don't touch !" As he leaped backward, he made sure to grab two sharp stone shreds caused by chiseling. Holding one of the fragnts against his own neck, he threw the other to Wu Shiqin, shouting, "Junior Sister, if you get touched by this guy, imdiately kill yourself! Imdiately! Imdiately! Understand?"
"Otherwise, you'll die horribly!"
