Chapter 141: Special Program
He originally only needed a few days to leave.
But now, asking him to mine twenty stones of Xuan Iron daily was simply an impossible task!
He never expected that even at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, he would feel so exhausted.
Moreover, having gotten used to exploiting other disciples, self-reliance was even harder for him now.
When Hong Yu walked out of the mine and looked around, his steps suddenly halted.
The usually lively camp, filled with noise from the ringing of a bell, was now desolate and empty, with a hint of melancholy. If it weren’t for the faint sounds of screams and mining coming from inside the mine, he would have doubted whether he was the only one here.
This left Hong Yu, who had initially planned to discuss things with Brother Cen Yu, unable to find anyone.
With so many branch mines inside, how could he know where Cen Yu was digging? Besides, it was nighttime, and with the energy of the earth demons surging inside, he didn’t want to wander carelessly.
But without Cen Yu and another junior brother, what should he do alone?
Hong Yu stood in the camp, at a loss for words, and finally turned back toward the mine, muttering angrily as he walked:
“Damn Ji Yang!”
“I’ll make you pay sooner or later!”
……
Cultivation +1
Strength +1
Ji Yang, back inside the mine, didn’t pause for a moment as the energy of the earth demons began to rise again around him.
From deep underground came a faint voice:
“I’ll be back.”
Just as Ji Yang immersed himself fully in mining, a heavy shadow loomed behind him.
Noticing the gathering energy of the earth demons, Ji Yang turned to look, and the energy had stopped coalescing into new shapes; instead, it formed a black curtain.
Upon the black curtain, an ancient scene gradually appeared, constantly changing before his eyes.
Ji Yang was surprised:
“Is this a new trick? Interesting!”
He stopped using his iron pick and eagerly watched, treating it as an entertaining program while mining.
The curtain flowed, revealing all sorts of scenes.
In one image, a figure in black clothes gently clenched his fist, causing the sky to change colors instantly, and a great hand descended from the heavens, plunging the curtain into darkness.
A powerful cultivator, covering the sky with one hand.
The scene shifted again, revealing a woman clad in armor. Her expression was stern, and in her hand shone an ancient copper mirror, illuminating everything and freezing the world in place!
“Good!”
Immersed in this 3D viewing experience, Ji Yang couldn’t help but applaud in appreciation!
This caused a slight glitch in the curtain, but it quickly returned to normal.
As the images continued to flash by, Ji Yang saw various powerful cultivators and all sorts of rare treasures capable of devastation, upheaval, and immense power.
However, from the clothing and adornments of the figures appearing on the curtain, most seemed to be ancient beings, not from today’s Cultivation World.
With the passing of time, the aesthetics of cultivators have also evolved, making this quite easy to distinguish.
As the images quickly flickered, a still scene emerged on the curtain.
It was a modest, old-fashioned room filled with countless rare treasures. Various magical tools radiated gleaming light, emanating spiritual energy and forming different True Spirits!
These were spiritual treasures contained within magical artifacts!
So many spiritual treasures gathered in one room captivated Ji Yang’s attention.
In the corner of the room, an ancient copper mirror caught Ji Yang’s eye; it was the same mirror used by the woman in the previous scene, capable of stopping all things!
The image flashed quickly, but Ji Yang’s peripheral vision noticed something different above the room: a ceiling made of superior Xuan Iron ore!
Viewing these images filled Ji Yang with passion and excitement.
Though he had reached the Golden Core Stage, the distance to the figures in the images still felt far too great.
The gap between them was like that of a firefly compared to the bright moon.
Moreover, the magical tools they wielded possessed immense power, each with unique uses. Just one such tool could allow him to battle above his level, and combined with his own strength, he could soar like a fish in the sea.
At that time, he would surely soar in the Cultivation World!
At that moment, Ji Yang felt a strong intuition: that room was not far from him, almost within reach, and the scene that just appeared on the curtain was a reflection of that connection!
This was an opportunity! Ji Yang’s opportunity!
If he didn’t go now, when would he?
Ji Yang nodded, thinking his reasoning was quite sound.
With a burst of white light from his iron pick, the curtain vanished, and the black mist receded.
Ji Yang continued to mine vigorously.
What he said made perfect sense, but he still wanted to mine!
Magical tools were merely external objects; his own cultivation level was real! No matter how good a magical tool was, it couldn’t compare to the Xuan Iron ore before him!
Cultivation +1
Agility +1
Superior flying sword +1
……
“Foolish child, not worth discussing!”
In the room, the copper mirror’s light flickered, the surface shook, and a crack appeared on the smooth mirror.
From the copper mirror came a hoarse and furious voice!
After a moment, the light flashed across the mirror, and the crack vanished without a trace!
Yet the voice from the copper mirror remained filled with anger.
What kind of genius was this?
With such a great talent, he neither cultivated nor immersed himself in beauty, showing no interest in spiritual treasures or techniques!
Such a wonderful gift wasted just like that!
He wouldn’t accept this!
“Wait until I employ my methods again!”
171!
172!
173!
……
Every time he absorbed a bit of Blue Light Points, Ji Yang couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Seeing that he was about to reach one hundred eighty cultivation points, his expression grew increasingly satisfied!
Over the next two days, aside from practicing the Large Cloud Rain Technique every morning, Ji Yang spent all his remaining time in the mine!
What was once a nearby branch mine was now extensively dug out by Ji Yang. He had no idea where he had reached, but perhaps after some more digging, he could carve a passage right through the entire Xuan Iron Mine!
In those two days, Ji Yang mined day and night!
When his cultivation points reached one hundred eighty, Ji Yang initially wanted to break through. But after careful consideration, he felt that mining for a few more cultivation points would be more prudent!
So he delayed for another two days.
During these two days, everything was calm during the day, but at night, as the energy of the earth demons surged, illusions or visions formed from the energy would confuse the mind while attempting to invade his body.
However, this was not a big deal for Ji Yang. In fact, each appearance of the energy of the earth demons made him a bit excited.
From the initial temptations of beauty, techniques, and magical tools…
To later temptations of delicacies, alchemy, and forging…
There were even a few indescribable scenes that broadened Ji Yang’s knowledge!
Ji Yang would destroy what he saw, leaving not a trace… of the energy of the earth demons!
Focus on mining was his priority; the illusions before him were like mere bubbles in water!
On the third day at dawn, Ji Yang approached the entrance of the mine, cast the Large Cloud Rain Technique, and, without looking back, turned once more into the mine.
