The Divine Armament Catacombs was dead silent.
It was as if the Martian Colony Governor's ninth-grade Dharmic Armament had destroyed everything with a single blow. There were no longer any ferocious beasts in the area.
Even the meatballs around the walls had crumbled and turned into dust. This allowed Wang Baole's mosquitoes to travel unimpeded to the end of the catacombs.
Although this was the limit of Wang Baole's control, he could still vaguely see the barrier. His eyes widened, and his breath froze. An incredulous expression appeared on his face.
It wasn't that he had never seen the barrier before. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he had seen it through the mosquitoes and through the information reports that Kongdao had sent over regularly. There were pictures and videos of the barrier.
He remembered that the barrier used to be a thick layer of ice. While it emitted a shocking chill, it seemed like it would never melt. It needed to be worn down by the array day and night before it could be slowly dispelled.
It was difficult to see the extent of the melting with the naked eye after a few days. It would take a long time for there to be any obvious changes.
But now … in Wang Baole's eyes, the barrier had obviously melted a lot compared to when he had checked Kongdao's information report a week ago. It even looked like it had taken months of wear and tear to form.
Wang Baole was stunned for a moment. His eyes shone with a strange light, and his breathing quickened slightly. However, he couldn't determine the reason behind the accelerated melting of the barrier.
"Is it because of the appearance of the giant hand? Or the ninth-grade attack of the Governor? Or … is it because my devouring seed is absorbing the Dark Qi inside faster? " Wang Baole wasn't sure of the specific reason, but he had a feeling that this might be an opportunity.
Although he couldn't be sure what kind of opportunity the accelerated melting of the barrier would bring him, his instinct from reading the high officials' autobiographies told him that this matter … needed more time to think about it.
With this thought in mind, Wang Baole immediately summoned Kongdao. Kongdao hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, but he was fine now. If it had been any other time, he would have perfunctorily summoned Wang Baole and sent his assistant. However, he had come personally after a moment of silence.
After hearing Wang Baole's question about the barrier, Kongdao didn't hide anything. He told Wang Baole everything he knew, including the video of his observation of the barrier the day before.
After watching it, Wang Baole's eyes couldn't help but twinkle. Yesterday's barrier was completely different from today's. This allowed Wang Baole to narrow down the scope of his investigation. However, whether it was the giant hand or the ninth-grade attack of the Governor, it was difficult for Wang Baole to think of to appear at any time for him to verify.
However, according to Wang Baole's analysis, the appearance of the giant hand shouldn't be the key. The ninth-grade attack of the Dharmic Armament shouldn't be the key either. Otherwise, the various forces of the Federation wouldn't have set up a formation here. They could have just used the ninth-grade Dharmic Armament to bombard the barrier.
"In the information given by the Governor, it said that … only a Divine Weapon can forcefully blast open the barrier!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, his heart beating faster. Right now, the only thing he had to verify was … whether his devouring seed had any effect on the barrier!
This thought burned fiercely in his heart like a fire. Although he didn't know why he had to verify it, he instinctively felt that once it was confirmed that it was because of the devouring seed, it would be an unprecedented opportunity for him!
Therefore, Wang Baole suppressed the fire in his heart. After sending Kongdao away, he went straight to the seal of the Divine Weapon. Although this place was under the control of the military, Wang Baole's previous rescue efforts had won him the respect of all the military cultivators here. He was also the district chief, so no one would stop him. They even suggested that they should guard the place.
Wang Baole didn't want others to see his experiment. After tactfully rejecting them, with his heart beating faster, he arranged for the mosquitoes to check on the barrier. Then, he immediately entered the underground cavern alone.
He didn't go too deep. Instead, he stopped at an approximate location. After checking left and right, Wang Baole suppressed his excitement and started to use the Dark Art as the core to operate the devouring seed. Suddenly, a large amount of cold air erupted from the deep pit, whistling toward him. Wang Baole himself seemed to have become a huge whirlpool. While he was absorbing the cold air, he also controlled the mosquitoes that were still at the end of the barrier to check on the barrier.
With one look, Wang Baole's body trembled. He clearly saw that the barrier was melting at a much faster speed under the power of his devouring seed.
"It really is the devouring seed!" Wang Baole was excited. He immediately stopped activating the devouring seed, turned around, and left the catacombs quickly. After sealing the catacombs, Wang Baole returned to his residence. He was not in the mood to meditate. Instead, he paced around in his residence.
"This is an opportunity …"
"I have to think about how I should use this opportunity to turn it into my destiny …"
"How should I use it …" Wang Baole's aura fluctuated. Countless thoughts spun in his mind. He seemed to be exhausted after working so hard. Hence, he took out some snacks and ate them while he continued thinking.
"First of all, the Federation will pay more attention to something like this that can speed up the dissipation of the barrier … Even though my strength is limited, and I can't reveal the existence of the devouring seed, the cultivation method I imparted to the students back in Dao Mountain Mist Academy should have the same effect …
"I just need to use the Dark Art as the core to operate it … This is easy. I just need to turn this cultivation method into a formation, and I will be the core of this formation!"
"In this way, we can use this formation to absorb the Nether Qi like a magnified devouring seed, and accelerate the melting of the barrier!" Wang Baole stopped in his tracks and slapped his thigh. When he lifted his head, he couldn't hide the excitement and anticipation in his eyes. He had combined the high officials' autobiographies and thought of … a unique solution!
"Once I do that, I'll be in complete control. For example, this array formation … It will require more resources and more space. So … I'll have to expand the city greatly based on the current foundation of the New Mars Region …"
"This way, I can set up the devouring seed formation on the foundation of the Aura Fostering Spirit Formation!"
"If the Federation approves my suggestion and approves this formation, I will have the final say on how big the city needs to be expanded. I can expand it several times or even more and turn this New Mars Region into … a new city on Mars!"
"That's right, that's it. The opportunity that I vaguely sensed earlier is right here. If I can really complete the formation, then to me, it will be an opportunity to turn the District … into a city!" Wang Baole's mind buzzed. His idea was, without a doubt, extremely daring. However, if he were to succeed … the new city zone would become a new city, and his Noble rank would rise. He would no longer be a Primary Rank Four Noble but a Primary Rank Three Noble!
After all, the Federation wouldn't allow a District to have the scale of a city. If that were to happen, the system would be in chaos. Hence, once such a District appeared, it would definitely be granted a city!
Wang Baole was the key to building the city. After all, he was the one who suggested it. Hence, to a certain extent, he was irreplaceable. More importantly … the Federation was also eager to accelerate the melting of the Divine Armament Catacombs. Hence, as long as his argument was useful, they wouldn't be stingy with a Primary Rank Three Noble!
"That means that I'll be as big as the territory!" Wang Baole was exhilarated. He felt that he was too smart to have thought of such a genius and crazy idea. He quickly took out the Ice Spirit Water and drank a large bottle in one go. The fire in his heart burned even brighter.
"I can't tell anyone about this for now. As for changing the simple cultivation technique of the devouring seed into an array formation …" Wang Baole thought about it with excitement. Finally, Zhao Yameng and the Ethereal Dao College appeared in his mind.
"I'll let Zhao Yameng help with this matter. At the same time, I'll ask the Sect Master for help!" With that thought, Wang Baole quickly opened his voice transmission ring and contacted Zhao Yameng.
Zhao Yameng, who was working in the capital of Earth, was currently sitting in her office. She was extremely beautiful and had an elegant personality. Ever since she started working in the department, she had always been admired by countless men. However, her temperament made all the men of the opposite sex feel ashamed of their inferiority in front of her.
At that moment, there was a handsome young man in front of her. His eyes were filled with adoration as he spoke softly.
"Department Head Zhao, there will be a ball in our department tonight. You …"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yameng raised her head and looked deeply into the man's eyes. Under her gaze, the man's forehead was covered in sweat. He was very nervous and uneasy. He couldn't continue speaking and could only take his leave silently.
After he left, Zhao Yameng lowered her head and looked at the documents again. However, at that moment, her voice transmission ring rang. Wang Baole's loud voice came from it.
