Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453
Master Lane settled down in the outpost and started a careful examination of the bone needle. After studying it meticulously for most of the day, he confirmed it to be devoid of any potential dangers, also he felt the desire for a second opinion, turning to his dear Brother for counsel—he retrospectively realized his foolishness, why hadn’t he asked his Brother directly in the first place?
Finding no issues with the bone needle, Master Lane decided to incorporate it into his second mini-world, and, at the same time, he also decided to merge two stone plaques buried beneath his backyard.
Although Master Lane had attained the Seventh Level, he was still ignorant about the nature of these two stone plaques. The stone plaques could turn ordinary soil into "Gold Soil," a remarkable capability indeed. Among countless treasures at Master Lane’s disposal, very few could stand shoulder to shoulder with this.
If he was to integrate these stone plaques into the mini-world, he would also have to transplant numerous spirit plants from his backyard into it. Among them was Little Grape. Master Lane contacted the Nine Realms Sky in advance to ensure the feasibility of his actions.
The Nine Realms Sky, not bothering to conceal their communications with Master Lane any longer, took some liberties. The main aim of the current discussion was: everything is for the well being of Little Grape.
The Nine Realms Sky agreed. Once Little Grape entered Master Lane’s mini-world, he might never be able to leave, but the Nine Realms Sky saw that Master Lane was destined for greatness. His mini-world might one day evolve into a real world of its own!
If that day truly arrived, Little Grape would become an "Creation" level spirit plant patriarch! Would this not promise a greater future than in the Eight Desolations World where the Heavenly Track had already undergone a change once before?
Having received approval from the mother, Master Lane proceeded to refine the bone needle first, followed by the stone plaques. However, the stone plaques could not be refined! After multiple attempts, Master Lane ultimately gave up and chose to relocate the stone plaques into the mini-world as they were. He then transplanted spirit plants including Fern, Soldier Blood Vine, and Little Grape.
Once transplanted into the "Endless Life" mini-world, the spirit plants grew significantly. Little Grape climbed halfway up and showed signs of early maturity!
His mother was extremely reassured.
Conversely, the mini-world which incorporated the bone needle and housed the stone plaques, its potency surged multiple folds, marginally surpassing the first "Undying and Indestructible" mini-world. Major credit goes to the stone plaques.
Master Lane noticed that with the stone plaques progressing their way, he could slowly "reflect" on the stone plaques, but their speed was too slow. Afraid it might consume hundreds of years for him to truly understand the nature of the stone plaques.
As for the idea of planting that dried fruit, he decided it would be safer to wait and plan it later.
Once Master Lane attended to affairs of the mini-world, he emerged to find Glenn Mitchell waiting by the door, "Sir, the new Dragon Snake List is about to start. The Capital has sent us an invitation. Shall we send someone to participate?"
It had not been long since the previous Dragon Snake List. However, because Master Lane was extraordinarily talented, everyone believed he had surpassed the scope of the Dragon Snake List. The Dragon Snake List was designed to rank the "new generation of talents," for which the Wood Dynasty needed to establish a new Dragon Snake List to provide young cultivators a role model.
If they continued to use Master Lane as an example, it would demotivate others due to the impossibility of catching up to him.
"Master Lane has conveyed a message, this time, it’s His Majesty’s desire. As His Majesty has been in service for a considerable period, he wants to boast about his achievements."
Master Lane nodded, "Discuss the matter with the others and send someone. There’s no reason to bother me with such trivial affairs."
Only then did Glenn Mitchell reveal his true intentions, "I intended to send my sister."
If the three little ones remained intact, if Lily went, inevitably Ava Bertram would accompany her. Master Lane deemed it acceptable: "You may."
News about the Dragon Snake List has spread throughout the Wood Dynasty. Recently, the Wood Dynasty had annexed the Nanni Nation, subdued the Antai Country, succeeded in suppressing the Red Barbarians, received allegiance from the Northern Plain and the Sang Island, and achieved a significant victory against the Nine Witch Demon Court. It flaunted an image of the renaissance, seamlessly progressing from its administration to its common folk, everyone had the intent of "exhibiting their martial prowess." The Dragon Snake List provided everyone an opportunity. The Cultivation World of the Wood Dynasty wanted everyone to acknowledge that they had the next generation of cultivators.
Not only within the Wood Dynasty, but the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region, Southwest Countries, and Sang Island, all would select and send their young prodigies to participate in the Dragon Snake List, truly a grand Eastern Land gathering!
