The Psionic Cube.
Chu Xuan had already collected a full set of them on Blue Star. Even now, it diligently produced the flesh and blood of the Dark Nether Falcon every day to accelerate his body tempering process. To his surprise, another one was here?
Chu Xuan furrowed his brows, lost in thought. Previously, when he had ventured to Soul Star, he had learned that the Psionic Cubes were distributed by the Soul Star inhabitants. Their purpose was to hasten the evolution of life forms on planets like Blue Star and Pegasus Star, eventually leading them to Soul Star to become food for the inhabitants.
However, after Chu Xuan had slain the Greedy King and the Slaughter King, and explored their memories, he had failed to uncover the origins of the Psionic Cube. It seemed that the Psionic Cube had existed on Soul Star since the time when the inhabitants first gained intelligence, established nations, and developed Psionic technology.
In hindsight, it made sense. Soul Star's system was built upon soul technology, all centered around soul power. It would be strange for them to have created something entirely separate from their soul system, like the Psionic Cube which was based on Psionic energy.
This matter had always remained unanswered, and so Chu Xuan had set it aside. After all, there were more pressing matters in the cultivation world. But now, seeing the Psionic Cube again, these old thoughts resurfaced in his mind. The origin of the Psionic Cube remained a mystery.
"This giant corpse is humanoid... Blue Star doesn't have humanoid creatures like this. And what are those humanoid creatures that are devouring the giant corpse? Zombies?"
Chu Xuan pondered. At this depth of ten thousand meters, the ocean of Blue Star must have undergone some strange mutations. Even with his body tempered to the thirty-eighth level, Chu Xuan had to use all his strength to endure the pressure at this depth. Yet, the giant corpse remained intact, not crushed by the immense weight of the ocean.
The humanoid creatures were able to move freely, even while devouring the giant corpse, without being affected by the sea's pressure. This suggested that their physical strength was incredibly formidable. Of course, it was also possible they possessed unique abilities, like creating a biological field around themselves to negate the weight of the water.
"These creatures are no simple matter. I cannot risk myself without knowing their true strength."
Chu Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head decisively. With their strength unknown, the only thing he would gain from this encounter was another Psionic Cube, but the potential benefit wasn't worth the risk. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Hmm? Why are there green seaweeds at the bottom of the ten-thousand-meter deep sea?"
Chu Xuan suddenly noticed a patch of tender green seaweed growing beneath the giant corpse. The humanoid creatures dropped the remnants of the meat they devoured, and these pieces were quietly absorbed by the seaweed. The humanoids seemed entirely focused on eating, unaware that the seaweed was quietly feeding off their scraps.
Chu Xuan frowned, deep in thought. At ten thousand meters underwater, where no sunlight reached, green plants should not be able to grow.
Chu Xuan didn't approach any closer. Instead, he turned and left. The area ahead would have to wait for another day to be explored. Once he tempered his body to the fortieth level and reached full mastery in his Nascent Soul stage, he would return to uncover the secrets here. It could wait.
In the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, at the medium spiritual stone mine, Chu Xuan listened to Hu's report, and could not help but shake his head repeatedly.
"Why is everyone so fixated on this medium spiritual stone mine?"
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
He had been cultivating on Blue Star for five years, and it had been half a year since he last visited the Heavenly Metal Battlefield. According to Hu's report, in the past six months, no fewer than four Nascent Soul cultivators had arrived, each intending to take control of the medium spiritual stone mine. Of course, they had all become food for the Corpse Kings and Ghost Kings.
