Chapter 1327: News from the Demon
Not only did the space fluctuation appear very suddenly this time, it also produced a powerful energy chaos field.
The energy fluctuations caused by this... Fortunately, it was a regimental-level ship. If it was a battalion-level ship, it would probably cause damage or even destruction.
Moreover, the regimental-class ship is lucky enough. If it really encounters a space crack, it will not even have a chance to escape.
There were constant slight turbulences inside the regimental-class ship - if the stable interior was like this, one could imagine how bad the situation outside was.
The Fourth Master couldn't help but sigh, "I finally understand why even the military doesn't dare to stay in the Girl Star Region for a long time."
If such a situation were to occur, it is hard to tell how many ships of a fully staffed division-level fleet would be able to return intact.
This time, they truly felt the danger of the Girl Star Domain.
However, Qu Jianlei was wondering, "Will the node in the different space also be affected?"
"It's possible that a void stone will be ejected," Master Yi He knew what he was thinking, "It may even be a lava heart."
It turns out that he had encountered similar space fluctuations before, but not as dangerous as this time.
The lava heart in his hand was obtained from that time, in addition to the ones he obtained from normal guarding.
But he also said, "This situation usually lasts for a long time, so we should not stay for long."
Soon, they harvested two pieces of Kongming Stone, which were almost the same size as the one picked up by the Fourth Boss.
A piece of the Lava Heart was also collected, which was the size of a human head.
There were other scattered lava hearts and void stones, but the risk was a bit high if he wanted to pick them up, so Qu Jianlei gave up.
In addition, Xiao Hu found a black stone the size of a tire near the regimental-level ship.
"Boss, this stone has a very strange energy."
"Put it away," Qu Jianlei ordered without hesitation, "Be careful to isolate it."
An object that Xiao Hu considers to be of abnormal energy should not be something from this world and is most likely from another dimension.
Others also saw this scene, and Mu Guang even asked out of curiosity.
Knowing that it might be an energy-containing object from another dimension, everyone naturally had no objection.
Claire even said enthusiastically, "Since artificial intelligence has this function, let's collect more materials from other dimensions."
Although the current situation is dangerous, such an opportunity is really rare.
What’s more, the boss’s artificial intelligence is so easy to use, and there’s no danger of damaging his spiritual consciousness.
But Mu Guang strongly opposed it. As a big shot among archaeology enthusiasts, he was well aware of the necessity of knowing when to stop.
Most people who are interested in archaeology find it difficult to control their greed, which has led to too many tragic precedents.
"The boss always says that it's too late, and the seniors also say that we should leave as soon as possible... Let's quit while we're ahead."
Fortunately, he objected in time and no one else said anything - the items from the alien space were too tempting.
So the regimental ship turned around and rushed all the way, and finally arrived at the relatively calm area after a day and a half.
Affected by the energy fluctuations, the area began to become chaotic.
The main force of the chaotic energy has not yet reached this place, and only the vanguard has arrived at this moment.
No one wanted to search for the Kongming Stone anymore and everyone wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
However, Qu Jianlei asked, "Senior, will this energy fluctuation open up the connection between the other dimension and this world?"
"I really don't know about this," Master Yi He replied helplessly, "Are you worried that the seal on the alien space will fail?"
"There is indeed such a worry," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "mainly because I also brought the town closure order."
He had no feelings for the Empire, but those mortals were always innocent.
The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility.
Qu Jianlei never likes to take the initiative to do things, but if he doesn't do anything to save the tribe, wouldn't that be too cold-blooded?
"The town sealing order..." Master Yi He paused for a moment and said, "Once it is used, we won't be able to unlock it."
This is why he did not use the lockdown order in the first place.
At that time, he wanted to first determine the nature of the alien space on the opposite side.
If this is a place of opportunity filled with treasures, wouldn't it be a pity to seal it hastily?
This cannot be blamed on him being selfish. A cultivator must be respectful, but he must also put "competition" first.
Fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people, fight with the Tao... Practitioners should strive to strengthen themselves. If they don't fight, pie will not fall from the sky.
Is it wrong to strive to gain some cultivation resources for yourself while completing the task?
Even now, he is in a residual soul state, but he is still struggling.
"If the space across from us is beneficial to cultivators, once it is sealed, we don't know when it can be unsealed."
"If the fluctuations in the alien space across from us stop during the closure of the town, it will be difficult to find this alien space again."
Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this. "It all comes down to greed... Alas, the problem is that I can't suppress this greed."
The team’s needs are here: not only is there a lack of magical instruments, but there is also a lack of other training materials.
The problem of spiritual energy can currently be solved by the spirit gathering array, but what about when one reaches the out-of-body stage or even... the spirit distraction stage?
So he suggested, "Why don't you take a look at what that black stone is? What if you can recognize its origin?"
"That's true," Master Yi He asked himself, his eyesight and knowledge were still fine - at least better than the young man in front of him.
Matter containing energy will be regarded as iconic matter no matter which world it is in, and it is basically impossible to be ignored.
His only hope now was that this substance was not something he had not heard of before. "There is no time to lose. Hurry up."
Qu Jianlei brought the soul-nourishing wood to the lower cabin, and several other people followed.
The black stone was placed in an isolation cabin and sealed in a special transparent box.
This is the standard configuration for handling unknown substances, and every regimental-level ship has similar facilities.
It’s not that all regimental-level ships can come into contact with alien space matter. The key is that there are too many undiscovered planets in our own world.
Across the glass barrier door of the cabin, the soul-raising tree swung a few times and then stopped in the air. "No way?"
"Did you see anything?" Qu Jianlei asked in a deep voice, "I always feel that this stone... has some yin energy."
The shape of the stone can be roughly seen with the naked eye, not to mention the all-round camera with local magnification function inside the isolation cabin.
This stone does not look that compact, but rather a bit like a honeycomb, with dense holes.
If Qu Jianlei were to describe it, this stone would be a bit like... a large piece of coke!
Master Yi He hesitated and said, "Can you open the isolation cabin and take a closer look?"
Xiaohu has already analyzed the alien energy, but the analysis has not yet been completed.
However, several basic safety indicators have been tested, including radiation, alienation conduction, toxic spillover, etc.
Xiaohu’s reply was, “You can enter the isolation cabin.”
However, it is not recommended to open the packaging box, "Energy-containing items can easily attract life forms."
If living things want to survive, move and reproduce, they definitely need energy.
Although no life has been detected on the rocks in the small lake so far, it does not mean that there is no life.
Only those who have entered the Age of Interstellar Navigation will know how colorful life forms are.
After the door of the isolation cabin was opened, Qu Jianlei felt that the yin energy was even heavier - the kind that could affect the mind.
"Xiao Hu, are you sure there is no problem with alienation conduction...including brain waves?"
The big-headed butterfly turned around twice. "You are already wearing armor, which will form an effective barrier unless it has the intention to actively attack."
The Soul-Nourishing Tree is not covered with armor, but Master Yi He said that he also has defensive measures.
In fact, as soon as the hatch opened, the Soul-Nourishing Tree stayed still for about a second, then flew directly into the air above the packaging box.
It circled back and forth excitedly, "It turned out to be a materialized demonic nightmare spirit. That's great, it's really great!"
“Demonized Nightmare Spirit?” No matter how Qu Jianlei heard it, he felt that this was not a good term. “Nightmare Spirit… and it’s demonized?”
"There's something wrong with the way you pronounce this word," Master Yi He replied seriously, "Strictly speaking, it's a demonized nightmare... spirit!"
Well, even if there is a problem, Qu Jianlei did not argue, "But Demonic Nightmare... this is not a good word, right?"
"That's a good word," Master Yi He continued, "It's also called the Devil Transformation Nightmare... Do you remember anything?"
Synovitis... Blue Star athletes are prone to it, but it is not a stubborn disease in the Empire! Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Please help me, senior."
"This demon refers to the Heavenly Demon!" Master Yi He pointed out the key point.
In short, most demons are invisible and intangible, a bit like dark matter, and they usually dissipate after death.
However, if a demon with a higher level of cultivation dies of natural causes, there is a certain probability that some essence will be left behind.
These essences are called demonic nightmare essences, usually in liquid form and very easy to evaporate.
When alive, the demons specialize in attacking the souls of cultivators, but their essence after death is quite beneficial to the souls of cultivators.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the demonized nightmare essence is a very rare and precious thing. After purification, it can nourish and enhance the soul.
Of course, dangers do exist objectively. If the purification is not done properly or if it is used excessively... it will be terrible.
The materialized demonic nightmare spirit is even rarer. It is not only the legacy of a great demon, but also requires certain external conditions.
Once this thing is materialized, not only will it be more effective and easier to preserve, but the more crucial point is that it can contain souls!
In other words, Master Yi He can try to use this object to house his soul, and he no longer needs the soul-nourishing tree.
This thing... let's just call it Nightmare Spirit. The materialized Nightmare Spirit does have its own energy and can also release it outwards.
The scattered energy can indeed disturb the soul.
However, as long as you are careful, no major problems will arise. Instead, your soul will benefit moderately.
As for why this thing has existed for who knows how many years and still has so much energy - it was left behind by the great devil!
The sword power of a sword cultivator can be passed down for such a long time. It is normal for the nightmare spirit transformed by the devil after his death to be passed down for a little longer.
