Chapter 274
Even if they mined the spirit stones, apart from what was needed for daily cultivation, the stones would just sit on the island gathering dust, that would only pointlessly deplete the spiritual energy contained within them.
Once a spirit stone was mined and removed from the vein, it would very slowly dissipate spiritual energy into its surroundings, although the rate was extremely slow, it might take 200 years for a low-grade spirit stone to lose half its energy, and the higher the quality, the slower it dissipated.
For top-tier spirit stones, it was seemingly negligible.
But one couldn’t forget the scale, what if it was ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or ten million stones? With such a massive base number, the total lost spiritual energy would be astronomical.
Therefore, there was no rush, they could wait for the right moment and mine them exactly when needed.
Next to the simply constructed pier, two Spirit Ships were anchored on the sea, in just three days, these burly men with nowhere to vent their explosive strength had actually built an entirely new Spirit Ship, it was intended for traveling back and forth from the mainland.
Adam had also left behind relevant books on sea charts and navigation techniques, it was just that their skills weren’t quite up to par yet.
Furthermore, their living habits and language still had many differences from those on the mainland.
Therefore, Adam had another mission upon leaving this time, to find suitable people to bring to the island to act as life teachers for these people.
Otherwise, these tribe members would very likely expose their identities upon interacting with outsiders.
Adam planned to use these people as a secret ultimate weapon, so he didn’t want them exposed this early, and Dael and the others didn’t want to recklessly charge into the Great World either.
Adam actually had a few candidates in mind, but he couldn’t be sure if they would agree.
The very first person he thought of was the faceless woman, Sylvia, since she was already in the know and possessed ten thousand years of life experience, she would be the perfect teacher.
Adam had sought her out to discuss it, but he was rejected after speaking just a single sentence.
She stated that she absolutely didn’t have the time or energy for that, unless he was willing to let Cecilia grow up a bit more and give her face to her, then she would agree, naturally, Adam would never agree to that.
With no other options, he had to continue considering other personnel.
There was no need to rush, though, the most pressing matter for the Gongsun Tribe right now was to raise their strength.
If all eight thousand of these people advanced to the Heaven and Earth Deity Realm, who gives a crap about being exposed then? They could directly bulldoze the entire Mysterious Yellow Great World.
One must know that even for an Imperial Clan, the total number of Heaven and Earth Deities was estimated to be only around 300.
And how many Imperial Clans were there in the entire Mysterious Yellow Great World? Moreover, in Adam’s hands, a quantitative change could trigger a qualitative change, he was a master of formations, after all.
"Respectfully sending off the Chief! May the wind be at your back!" Standing at the forefront, Dael took the lead and shouted loudly.
"Respectfully sending off the Chief! May the wind be at your back!"
"Respectfully sending off the Chief! May the wind be at your back!"
The massive crowd shouted in perfect, thunderous unison, every one of them looking visibly excited.
Now that the Chief was leaving, they could act a lot more unbridled. No need to worry about this or that anymore.
"Alright, you all go back now, make sure not to cause too much of a ruckus! At the very least, don’t break the foundation of the island’s grand formation!" Adam said with a hint of helplessness.
These past few days, aside from vigorously working on infrastructure, these guys had just obtained miraculous powers, so naturally they sparred relentlessly, they had beaten crater after crater into the island.
Adam was helpless, but he couldn’t stop them, if he forcefully clamped down, it would only backfire, these people had just obtained their strength and were at a critical stage of familiarizing themselves with it, suppressing them would only hinder their future cultivation, so Adam could only say a few words of caution.
If they wanted to fight, let them fight, as long as they didn’t accidentally sink the island.
"Don’t worry, Chief! As the Captain of the Island Security Squad, I will keep them in line!" Sevan flexed his massive arm, thumped his chest, and declared solemnly.
Adam’s mouth twitched, this guy is the most restless of them all, he looks for people to spar with even during meal breaks.
The largest crater on the island was created by him and his younger brother, Ario, it would be a miracle if he managed to keep his own hands to himself.
Adam shook his head, he didn’t say anything, turning around with Cecilia and stepping into the ship’s cabin.
Forget it, I’ll just pretend none of this is happening.
Adam and Cecilia departed from the island.
On the ship, Adam looked at the scroll in his hand, which he had found among the Book Saint’s collection. It contained a very specific message.
"Every time the Heaven and Earth Upheaval arrives, it seems the Path to Immortality opens..."
"This Heaven and Earth Upheaval is a massive reshuffling, a great catastrophe, yet also a grand opportunity..."
"If one can seize this opportunity, one might ascend to the heavens in a single step..."
"This Heaven and Earth Upheaval is a great establishment following a great destruction!"
"If one can survive this catastrophe, one might obtain immeasurable benefits..."
"And that Path to Immortality seems to hide the secret behind this upheaval..."
Adam slowly closed the Book Saint’s notebook, his mind was filled with a thousand swirling thoughts.
The information recorded by the Book Saint was increasingly shocking the more he read.
If this is the case, is the Heaven and Earth Upheaval related to Immortals?
But from ancient times until now, no one had ever truly seen an Immortal, whether Immortals even existed was debatable.
Currently, everything that appeared related to Immortals was merely guessed at and mythologized by people themselves.
