Chapter 997: Chapter 997
"Big brother and sister-in-law, you must have invested a lot of effort here, right?"
"Not at all, this place is truly natural, blessed with heaven's elegance. Such a fine spot is rarely seen, even in ancient times.
Nowadays, it's indeed difficult to find an unclaimed grotto heaven .
It's just right that you'll certainly make use of it in the future."
Yu Ziqing raised his head and looked towards the distant peak, where he saw divine light descending from the sky, falling into the spirit pond at the summit, continuously condensing spiritual liquid.
"This grotto heaven indeed looks like it was renovated by someone with great divine skills. The spiritual energy here is incredibly dense, unusually so."
"It must have evolved naturally. This grotto heaven can channel the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, transforming them into divine light which falls and turns into spiritual liquid.
With the spirit pond here, and no strong person consuming its resources, the spiritual energy here will naturally grow stronger, forcefully bolstering the grotto heaven itself.
Such celestial creation is beyond human capability."
Ji Meng sighed a bit but didn't feel reluctant; instead, he felt that only something was suitable as a gift.
Thinking back, from the Dingmao era to now, besides him, there's probably no one else who has had good private relations with both emperors of Dui.
The mysterious creation in the unseen world had long since tightly linked him with Dadui, and he couldn't break free.
When he first saw Yu Ziqing, he truly never thought that one day Yu Ziqing would become the new Emperor Dui.
He also understood that since Dadui hadn't returned, Yu Ziqing's status couldn't be openly acknowledged.
Yu Ziqing looked up at the divine light in the sky, akin to aurora, his thoughts racing.
He quickly left the grotto heaven to find Old Goat.
"Have you finished asking questions?"
"Pretty much, fortunately, that elder was here. Otherwise, the things I wanted to know, probably no one else could have told me."
"Come with me, let me show you something top-notch."
Yu Ziqing brought Old Goat to the grotto heaven, where Old Goat took a deep breath and immediately looked astonished.
"Such dense spiritual energy, enough to drown a low-level cultivator."
Yu Ziqing smiled without speaking, letting Old Goat observe for himself.
Old Goat could tell from Yu Ziqing's mischievous look that he was up to something again.
He carefully examined the entire grotto heaven, finally hovering in mid-air, arriving at the central high peak, looking up at the falling divine light and the spiritual liquid continuously overflowing from the spirit pond.
The more Old Goat looked, the more shocked he became.
"This grotto heaven can refine the sun, moon, and starlight into spiritual energy? And without any living beings, it can actually transform it directly?"
"You react pretty fast. Does it have potential?"
Old Goat was thrilled and excited; if he could understand the mysteries within, he could replicate it elsewhere.
Using formations to imitate it would naturally be the quickest and most effective method.
"Can you discern any artificial traces?"
"Currently, it indeed seems to have naturally evolved. Celestial creation is beyond human grasp, and this creation is far more formidable than anything man-made.
Right now, I can only ascertain that this grotto heaven, in the beginning, might have just been a small blessed land.
But later, the accumulated power weakened over endless ages, consuming who knows how many eons.
This has created the current grotto heaven."
Yu Ziqing's eyes gleamed.
"Didn't you say before that diminishing such a thing is impossible due to just one or two events?
The ever-growing number of cultivators continually increases the consumption of heaven and earth's power.
The power consumed by a cultivator in their lifetime is far greater than the power that dissipates after they die.
This is one of the impacts, accumulating over time, and the quantity is especially significant.
If you could invent a formation to absorb the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, along with void forces and other external energy, consistently replenishing itself.
Even if it can't ascend grotto heaven and become better, as long as one day the consumption can be offset, it would be a great success.
"No, although grasping this entire grotto heaven and evolving a big array from it,
I'm not very skilled at this and it might take me a long time.
You'd better find people who are adept in this field to help."
"So this is what Senior Chu Ye excels at?" Yu Ziqing suddenly realized.
Old Goat felt a bit awkward.
"To do these things, it's not something that can be solved by one or two specialists; this is not merely an issue of formation.
Even if you find an excuse to bring Chu Ye, it wouldn't be enough.
You'll need more people, and a little lacking isn't a big problem, because it's extremely labor intensive." The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
"I understand, not only is a leader of the research needed but also laborers."
"Don't say it so harshly, it's just that there's a lot to do, but many of the complicated parts aren't too difficult, and one or two people can't cover all the work.
It's doable, but it may take hundreds of years at the least.
A thousand years might pass without success.
What you said before, a large project relying entirely on oneself is a waste of time.
One might have only this one large project in a lifetime.
As long as you master the general direction and make the most of collective wisdom, you might solve several large projects in your lifetime.
These are the things you mentioned."
Yu Ziqing grinned and laughed aloud.
"You actually used my own words against me? Oh my, the sun must be rising from the west."
"Truth is truth, no need to mind who said it."
"Alright, alright, I'll help you find people."
Yu Ziqing decisively stopped, knowing to tease further would lead to Old Goat holding a grudge.
Yu Ziqing turned to ask Ji Meng, and after briefly explaining the situation, Ji Meng just waved his hand.
