Forty Millenniums of Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 2091? Defend the Temple With Life!

Deep inside the ragged carrier in the spaceport, Li Yao was sitting cross-legged in midair three feet from the floor, with silver stripes of spiritual energy flashing around him, as if he were covered in an enormous egg.

With Li Jialing’s body as a “platform”, the powerful telepathic thoughts of the Divinity Transformation Stage were spreading, sensing, and scanning the beehive prison without a sound in the most mysterious way.

Very soon, inside Li Yao’s head, every feeble change of spiritual energy regarding the entire beehive prison was clearly displayed. Every node released translucent threads, which interweaved, entangled, and split apart, eventually constituting the spiritual energy flowchart and the magnetic field model of the entire beehive prison.

It was like a sample whose flesh was removed with only the networks of nerves and veins left.

All the critical parts were clearly visible, including the relay station that was deeply buried at the central part of the prison and used to transmit energy incessantly.

The relay station, on the other hand, was connected to the main energy supply system of the entire “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”.

The main energy supply system was responsible for the gravity balance between the exterior and the interior of the space fortress and the normal functionality of the spiritual field as well as all the other magical equipment. It was also responsible for the resistance of the pulling force of the Martial Meritocrats Planet—”Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”, which was floating above the atmosphere of the planet, not entirely out of the gravity sphere.

In other words, if the main energy supply system was blown up and most of the anti-gravity rune arrays in the space fortress lost their functions, it would immediately be grabbed by the attractive force of the earth, which was as vast as the ocean. There would certainly be the most splendid and unprecedented fall of the firmament!

When Li Yao sensed the feeblest ripples of spiritual energy inside the beehive prison with all his attention, he also sensed countless people who were also caged into the cold space tomb, bearing excruciating pains and modified into ghastly creatures, as well as their agony, desperation, and fury that were etched into the deepest parts of their souls.

The emotions that were as thick as magma, swamp, and venom almost swallowed his soul and completely suffocated him.

Li Yao’s face was frozen in the shadow for a long time. Finally, it gradually split apart. Grinning, he responded to Li Jialing, “The scanning is now complete. You can continue your normal training in case anybody notices that something is wrong.

“Right. Find an opportunity to release my scouting magical equipment. I’ll need it to run some errands later. Then, let’s just wait until tomorrow and do something big!”

“What about me?”

Li Jialing said in a hurry, “You said that you would find a chance to get me out of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’!”

“Trust me.”

Li Yao said solemnly, one word after another, “After tomorrow, ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ will be no more, and neither Wuying Lan nor Li Lingfeng would have any time to bother you.

“Hey, do you know how many warships are docked in the spaceports of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ right now?”

“Well, I’m not sure. If we are only talking about warships, there are probably seven to eight hundred of them.”

Thinking for a moment, Li Jialing said, “The battle to besiege ‘Starlight’ is not a military operation of a very large scale. Also, ‘Starlight’ is made of space rats that are highly alert. They will run off the moment they notice something wrong. Therefore, Li Lingfeng couldn’t have summoned many regular troops but only wanted to solve the problem with his own Colossus and the elite warriors of the major sects. After all, the starships of ‘Starlight’ are all wasted metals that are modified based on civil carriers and armed mining ships. As long as crystal suits can crawl into their stomachs, they will be blown up more than easily. There is no need to mobilize the main-force fleets from the frontline at all.”

“Eight hundred, you say?”

Li Yao smiled. “Rest assured. I will attract the firepower of all the eight hundred warships to myself. Then, you can hurry to escape!”

Li Jialing was stunned for a moment. “W-what?”

…

The next day, Li Jialing stayed in the beehive prison for training.

But training was merely a pretext. He was actually helping Li Yao observe in secret who the most ferocious inmates in the beehive prison were and where they were caged.

Li Yao, on the other hand, was sneaking around in “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”.

Right now, the only people who posed a threat to Li Yao in the enormous space fortress, to Li Yao’s knowledge, were Wuying Lan and Li Lingfeng.

With a great war coming near, the two of them were both hiding in the control center while discussing their scheme, trying to dig the trap deeper. Never in their dreams would they have thought that a Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage was swaggering around inside their nest.

Based on Li Jialing’s description, Li Yao basically grasped the overall structure of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”. His efficiency was greatly improved when he focused his attention on the important parts.

Not only did he figure out the critical locations of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”, he even maneuvered Neltharion to dig out small holes on the cables and lines of the space fortress in advance, before he installed the “gadgets” that he carefully made for the purpose of hacking the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors.

Once activated, the gadgets would be his platforms, which would allow the massive power of destruction that originated from “Extraterrestrial Devil Mo Xuan” to flood in and destroy everything unstoppably!

Destruction was always a hundred times easier than construction.

He was very lucky to be playing the role of a “saboteur in darkness”. He had no concerns at all and only needed to vent the anger and hatred in his heart and sabotage everything that he could see!

…

The dining hall that was as extravagant as a palace was lit by the glittering, splendid crystal lamps again.

The Immortal Cultivators with noble bloodlines and massive strengths from different Sectors of the Imperium of True Human Beings were gathered again. Talking and laughing lightheartedly, they toasted on the airing of the main show of the series of quests.

The 3D light beams floating around them were displaying the pictures of quite a few different “earthly dragons” below the ground of the Land of Sins.

The blood-boiling and soul-stirring roars of the ignorant Cultivators in the pictures reached no effect except to make the Immortal Cultivators chuckle.

There was also a very clear overall map, which showed the coordinates of the Cultivators right now accurately, as well as their final destinations.

Quite a few eye-catching arrowheads were moving at an enormous empty chamber not far away from the ground. It was the place known as the “temple of the Cultivators”, which had been excavated, modified, and decorated by the Immortal Cultivators.

In one of the pictures, a bald, one-armed female warrior showed up. Her passionate, overjoyed exclamations made the nobles, the lords, the generals, the experts, and their disciples all chuckle in amusement.

“They have discovered the temple!”

…

“They have discovered the temple!”

Deep inside the Land of Sins, on “Cloud Penetrator”, Zuo Jingyun, the bald female warrior, couldn’t help but dance in joy and report the great news that everybody on board had been looking forward to. “It was… It was Wei Longtao who discovered it. Not only did he escape from the hunting of the Immortal Cultivators miraculously, but he also discovered the control center of the ‘global sword network’ earlier than we do. He is now recovering the mainframe crystal processors inside preliminarily!”

“Cloud Penetrator” was filled with exclamations. Han Te and Liu Li couldn’t help but hug each other tightly, before they crawled on the Fist King’s body, crying and laughing.

“Wei Longtao has already sent over the specific coordinates of the ‘temple’ and scanned the rock strata nearby. Everybody is now joining him at full speed. Let’s go to them immediately. I don’t want to miss the historical moment!”

Zuo Jingyun waved her hands and declared passionately.

The drill of mystic rays began to revolve at a high speed again. The tracks with iron nails and hooks rubbed the rock strata hard, raising sparks everywhere. The earthly dragon leaned to the ground by thirty degrees, before it pushed forward unstoppably!

They were not far away from the “temple” in the first place. Now, with the navigation of the accurate coordinates and the structure of the rocks, it took them only half an hour of exploration before the rubbing and shrieking noises of the drill in the front were gone. Then, the speed of the vehicle was improved by almost a third, and it dug out of the bottom of an underground empty chamber!

It was not the real ground, but it was only one last kilometer away from the real ground. Several underground rivers seemed to have joined at that place a long, long time ago. Together with the violent tectonic movements, such a natural chamber that looked like an underground city was created.

At this moment, more than half of the space of the underground chamber was occupied by a dark, metal fortress, whose surface was brimming with all kinds of twisted and interconnected vines that were emitting vague fluorescence, making the place look like a gorgeous fairyland.

Above the underground chamber, there should be gaps leading to the surface of the planet, which brought cool and dry air from the ground and slowly diluted the darkness and depression of the underground world.

Zuo Jingyun and all the other resistance warriors of “Starlight”, perhaps due to the stimulation of the refreshing air, burst into tears beyond their control the moment they saw the underground fortress. “Temple! Our temple!”

At this moment, the “temple” that had been passed on by all the Cultivators in legends was like an iron beast that was gradually waking up. Fulminations were echoing from inside nonstop. On its surface that was buried by vines, sophisticated but magnificent rune arrays were emitting colorful brilliant, which extended tentacles to the surroundings and darted into the depths of the crevices. There was no telling where they ended up eventually. historical

“Wei Longtao has already activated the ‘global sword network’. This… This is spectacular!”

Zuo Jingyun was both surprised and delighted, almost finding it impossible to believe her eyes and ears. But the undeniable facts were happening right before her. Waving her arms, the bald female warrior led everybody into the place in ecstasy. “Let’s go and defend the temple with our lives. Before Commander Wei shoots down ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’, we will not let a single Immortal Cultivator breach into our temple even if we are shattered into pieces!”
