Chapter 524 - 351: Spirit Mountain Gu Temple (2)
Chen Jinghu even urged Wang Yi to leave.
Wang Yi said, "You’re quite an interesting person. Farewell for now. If I have the chance in the future, I’ll attend your auction again."
With that said, Wang Yi used the Shrinking Inches technique, exiting the Jade Palace in just a few steps.
Outside the Jade Palace, the Mingyu Divine Lord saw Wang Yi and immediately hurried over, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine!"
"That’s good! This isn’t a place to linger. Come with me, we’re going to the Bright Jade Tower!"
The Mingyu Divine Lord pulled Wang Yi along, seeming even more anxious than he was. She didn’t even bother to ask what he had encountered in the Jade Palace, nor did she ask if he had successfully won the Yellow Springs Gu House.
"There’s a Teleportation Array in the Bright Jade Tower that can take us to the Mountain and Sea World. Come with me there first to rest and regroup. We’ll talk about everything else after!"
The Mingyu Divine Lord led the way, and Wang Yi followed silently. A moment later, they arrived at the top of a cliff.
Below the cliff was a rushing river. This was the very place where the Golden Lion Venerable once guarded the Divine Kingdom Teleportation array.
The cliff was the same, and the river was the same. The only difference was that the Golden Lion Venerable was gone, replaced by Li Bozhen and Yin Kui.
The two were sitting cross-legged on the cliff. As soon as the Mingyu Divine Lord and Wang Yi appeared, they immediately stood and bowed.
"Mm, you’re dismissed for now."
Only then did the Mingyu Divine Lord relax slightly. She looked at Wang Yi again and said, "I was genuinely afraid that the people from the Miracle Divine Country or the Demon Realm Royal Court would use some underhanded means to get you killed in the Jade Palace."
"I was lucky to make it out alive."
"As long as you’re alive, that’s what matters! Did you get the Yellow Springs Gu House?"
"I didn’t fail the mission!" As he spoke, Wang Yi took out the Yellow Springs Gu House and showed it to the Mingyu Divine Lord.
"Good, good, good! It’s wonderful that the Demon Realm Royal Court didn’t get it!" The Mingyu Divine Lord smiled. "This item is extraordinary. You should keep it for yourself. Bind it as soon as possible to prevent someone else from snatching it away!"
"Oh, this is great! The Star Yuan and the item are both mine! Your Excellency is truly wise. If another great opportunity like this comes up, you have to call me!"
The Yellow Springs Gu House was extraordinary; Wang Yi would have been a little reluctant to actually give it away. He figured he could place it in his own territory. ’Wukong Dojo would be a good spot. I could even raise some Gu myself from time to time and use it as an infirmary.’
"The people from the Miracle Divine Country and the Demon Realm Royal Court shouldn’t dare to pursue us here. I’ll leave things here for now; I’m returning to my Divine Country. When I descend again, you and I will go hunt down Dr. Magic, Xue An Kang. Remember, do not leave this mountain before I return!"
With that, the Mingyu Divine Lord didn’t wait for Wang Yi’s reply, quickly activating the teleportation and returning to the Mingyu Divine Country.
"Why does this feel a little sneaky?"
Wang Yi muttered but still heeded her advice. He sat cross-legged on the ground, took out some Chaos Blind Boxes to open for fun, and also sent his consciousness to his Divine Body to let Li Longyu and the others know he was safe.
A moment later, in the center of Wukong Dojo, beneath the Bodhi Tree, Wang Pingyi teleported in. He was holding the turtle-shell-like Yellow Springs Gu House. He glanced around before heading toward Great Spirit Mountain.
Great Spirit Mountain was surrounded by sixteen Fangcun Mountains and numerous Five Elements Mountains. The space within it was folded, containing a vast territory.
Wang Pingyi entered it. Even with his Teleportation Divine Techniques, which allowed him to shift his own position, it still took him the better part of half a day to reach the summit of Great Spirit Mountain.
"This Great Spirit Mountain is rich in Spiritual Energy and full of the world’s essences. Building the Yellow Springs Gu House on the summit might be a good idea!"
As he spoke, Wang Pingyi surveyed the surrounding terrain. A moment later, he placed the Yellow Springs Gu House on the ground. The Gu House was strange; it took root upon landing and expanded rapidly, turning into a small, temple-like building after just a few breaths.
This small temple was a dark gold color all over. When Wang Pingyi entered, he could see many honeycomb-like structures scattered around the room. He knew those were the nests for the Gu Insects.
The nests for the three Core Gu were on a high platform at the back of the small temple. All were shaped like tower-like honeycombs. In the center was the nest of the Yellow Springs Insect, on the left was the nest of the Reincarnation Cocoon, and on the right was the nest of the Heaven-Reaching Gu.
At that moment, Wang Yi, who was still in the Mountain and Sea World, received a system notification.
"DING! The special building, Yellow Springs Gu House, has taken root on Great Spirit Mountain!"
"DING! Affected by the territory’s ecosystem, the Yellow Springs Gu House has transformed. The Gu Insects within will automatically absorb the Spiritual Energy of Great Spirit Mountain and grow on their own."
’Huh, Wang Pingyi built the Yellow Springs Gu House on Great Spirit Mountain. He really knows how to pick a spot. Since the Gu Insects can absorb Spiritual Energy on their own, I guess they won’t need to be fed manually.’
Wang Yi’s thoughts suddenly shifted, and his consciousness descended into his Divine Body, Wang Pingyi.
’What would happen if I used Eco-Entanglement here?’
It was a sudden whim. He used up all the Eco Energy he had painstakingly accumulated in his territory to apply the territory tech [Eco-Entanglement] to the Yellow Springs Gu House.
Immediately, the small, temple-like Gu House began to grow at a visible rate. After a few breaths, it had already become a giant hall nearly a hundred meters tall. The Spiritual Energy of Great Spirit Mountain gathered like smoke and mist, flowing into the massive structure.
"DING! The Eco-Entanglement tech has taken effect. The Yellow Springs Gu House has gained three thousand years of entangled causality, growing a total of seven times and mutating into the Spirit Mountain Gu Temple."
"DING! The Spirit Mountain Gu Temple retains its original functions. The Gu Insects can automatically feed on Spiritual Energy and grow on their own, requiring no additional feeding!"
"DING! The 108 Gu Insects of the Spirit Mountain Gu Temple have undergone three thousand years of growth, reaching level 500. They have absorbed Spiritual Energy to take on human form. The three Core Gu have transformed into Gu Ancestors, and their abilities have been enhanced."
"DING! The Spirit Mountain Gu Temple has a new product: Gu Spirit Liquid. Gu Spirit Liquid can be used to heal injuries and dispel poisons. It is a first-rate divine medicine. Please explore its specific uses on your own."
"DING! The Spirit Mountain Gu Temple’s functions have been expanded. More Gu Insects can now be raised. Please explore the details on your own!"
Wang Yi was quite pleased as he received the system notifications. ’Eco-Entanglement tech really is useful,’ he thought. ’Gaining several thousand years of entangled causality out of thin air actually caused the Yellow Springs Gu House to mutate directly into the Spirit Mountain Gu Temple. Those three Core Gu even "became buddhas and ancestors".’
’Interesting, very interesting. It’s a pity the three Core Gu only reached level 500. That’s not high enough for me to use as a save point. My own level is too high...’
Wang Yi directed Wang Pingyi to enter the Gu Temple. He found the interior to be resplendent and magnificent. There was a high platform where three children were sitting cross-legged in a row.
Of course, they weren’t real children. They were the Heaven-Reaching Gu, the Reincarnation Cocoon, and the Yellow Springs Insect.
They sat motionlessly, as if cultivating. Below the platform, the 105 auxiliary Gu also had the appearance of children, sitting just as quietly, as if focused on their cultivation.
The hall was filled with abundant Spiritual Energy. Behind the three Core Gu, the Spiritual Energy was even denser, like pillars of smoke.
This was transformed Spiritual Energy that possessed a powerful Body Refinement effect. One could refine their body just by breathing here.
At the back of the hall, there was a water vat on both the left and right sides.
The one on the left was for holding Netherworld Water, and the one on the right was for Gu Spirit Liquid.
After looking around, Wang Yi felt that the Spirit Mountain Gu Temple was quite spacious, large enough to hold over a thousand people. If he could capture a large number of Gu Insects and raise them freely inside, they would probably grow quickly as well.
’When I have free time, I should come to this Gu Temple more often. After all, I am its master. I’ll need to feed these Gu Insects some of my Essence Blood to strengthen my connection with them.’
Wang Yi thought to himself.
A moment later, Wang Yi’s consciousness returned. He continued opening the blind boxes. During this time, Li Bozhen, Yin Kui, and the others came over to pay their respects. Wang Yi chatted with them, taking the opportunity to learn a little about the Fifth Dimension and the Mingyu Divine Country.
As for the good things he got from the Chaos Blind Boxes, the list slowly grew over time. There were [Energy Lighthouse Construction Drawings +6], [Sword in the Stone +6], [Diving Suit +8], [Beer Tree Construction Drawings +7], [Golden Playground Construction Drawings +9], [Universal Skill Book +5], and so on.
Wang Yi had Wang Pingyi use all the Construction Drawings to build the corresponding structures, controlling him via his thoughts.
It was worth mentioning that the [Beer Tree] was built at the foot of Huaguo Mountain. Its enhancement effect came with its own Eco-Entanglement, and after construction, it directly became an ecological beer factory. If fully staffed, it could produce 100,000 tons of beer per day.
Then there was the Golden Playground. The enhanced version covered a full one million mu, containing countless amusement facilities. Its enhancement effects also added challenge events and entertainment competitions. By playing there and participating in those activities, one could earn Star Yuan.
Wang Yi also used a Universal Skill Book and obtained a Sword Skill called [Thunder Slash]!
