The few of them were extremely perplexed.
The natives around the Seven Star Lake had all been killed by us. Of course, there was no living thing left within a thousand-mile radius. There was not a single trace of human life left. It was truly a desolate place.
Why were there still people coming here?
Their cultivation bases were so high, and there were two of them at the same time!
This is really depressing!
Putting aside everything else, just what kind of martial arts were they cultivating? How could they be so overbearing? We were already prepared to sacrifice half of the celestial and lunar spiritual energy, but it was still not enough. They snatched away more than ninety percent of the spiritual energy in one go.
Aren't they afraid of being stuffed to death by absorbing such an enormous amount of spiritual Qi at the very beginning?
Unbeknownst to them, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi were muttering to themselves as they absorbed the enormous amount of spiritual energy, "Why … does the spiritual Qi look so terrifying, but in reality … it's so little?"
Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi spent the first night in a state of confusion and bewilderment.
The endless frustration, anger, and curses of those people did not concern Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi at all. It was not worth mentioning!
The eleven people were collectively frustrated and angry, wishing that Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi would explode and die from their gluttonous behavior. However, what they did not know was that after Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi had absorbed more than ninety percent of the celestial and lunar spiritual energy, they still felt that although the intensity of the spiritual Qi could be said to be mystical, it was still … just so-so. That was all!
These words sounded like they deserved a beating, but the ones who spoke were Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi, who were filled with spiritual Qi every day, whose cultivation base had improved tremendously after a nap, and who had countless Eastern Amethysts in their hands. It was reasonable. After all, the mystical spiritual Qi in front of them, compared to their own cultivation environment, was just … a little odd.
As for the so-called unparalleled opportunity?
Obviously, it did not count as one!
The ten or so people here were all poor people. They might think that a meal in a restaurant was wonderful, and it would be their dream life if they could eat in a restaurant every day. However, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi were people who ate Manchu Han Imperial Feast every day.
Perhaps the dishes in this small restaurant were very delicious and outstanding, but to Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi, it was just a unique flavor that was worth tasting. That was it. That was really it.
In the wee hours of the morning, the mysterious net of light weaved by the light of the stars and the moon finally dispersed.
The world returned to its original state, and the sounds of insects and cicadas rose and fell in the surroundings, sounding even clearer and louder.
"This … doesn't match the name." Ji Lingxi opened her eyes and scratched her head. "At the very least, it's more disappointing than I expected. How can it be considered an earth-shattering secret under such circumstances?"
Ji Lingxi asked, "This is the so-called earth-shattering secret?"
Yun Yang had a similar feeling as well. After a moment of thought, he said, "I feel that something is wrong as well. But maybe it's just that our current level of cultivation is too high, far beyond the realm of ordinary cultivators … In fact, according to common sense, this realm is already an extremely rare and precious holy land for cultivation. At least for me, who has just received this news, it's a rare opportunity. After all, this realm has attracted all the Dao Realm cultivators in front of me to stay here and live in seclusion … If I think deeper, if I had received this news when …
If I were to think deeper, if I had arrived here earlier, I might have been killed by this group of people. Any one of these people is far stronger than Supreme Lord Spring Frost and He Hanqing. Even if I were to transform into the wind and clouds, it would still be difficult. It's probably just that times have changed. "
Ji Lingxi nodded slowly and said, "You're right. Then, what do we do now? Are we leaving immediately? "
Yun Yang looked up at the sky and said, "There's no hurry. Today is the fourteenth, and tomorrow is the night of the full moon. Let's wait and see. The seven mountains around the Seven Star Lake are quite interesting. They look like the embryonic form of the Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Formation, especially after the moonlight and starlight are activated. "
"Of course, if it really is the Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Formation, then it must activate the power of the stars in the sky. It can't be limited to just the stars and the moon."
Yun Yang smiled and said, "The Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Formation is most effective when there's a full moon. If tomorrow is still the same as today, then we won't stay here any longer. We'll go straight to the Bound of Universe from here."
Ji Lingxi hummed in agreement and said, "Let's do it then. I really can't suppress my power these few days. I keep feeling that my mystical Qi is showing signs of going out of control …"
She raised her head and asked doubtfully, "Yun Yang, how do you know so much?"
Yun Yang smiled. "It's not that I know a lot, but the Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Formation is a legendary formation. I'm not sure, and I don't even know the specific method of setting up the formation at all. It's just that the geographical location of the seven mountains is different, and the spiritual energy of the stars and moon has descended upon the world. Recalling that the Seven Stars Heavenly Spirit Formation has always been said to 'snatch spiritual energy from the heavens', that's why I made a guess. "
"As for why I have to wait for the night of the full moon … it's because I've been monitoring those people's divine senses, heartbeats, and pulses for such a long time … After tonight, it can be said that they hate us to the extreme. But at dawn, there's clearly a relaxed and joyful emotion in their divine senses, as if they're looking forward to something. Their hearts were beating exceptionally fast as well. The eleven of them actually only cared about checking on our side during the Heaven and Earth Anomaly. This clearly goes against common sense, especially for people like them. "
"Actually, I purposely showed disappointment in my deific consciousness just now, and it was also at this time that their joy and relaxation appeared."
Yun Yang smiled. "Lingxi, what do you think they're looking forward to?"
Ji Lingxi's eyes darted around as she asked, "What are they looking forward to? Are you saying that they're looking forward to the night of the full moon? "
Yun Yang smiled. "They probably aren't looking forward to the night of the full moon, but for us to leave as soon as possible. After all, my reaction is that I feel that the miracle here isn't all that impressive. Naturally, they're hoping that we'll leave as soon as we can … "
"Originally, what they should be most afraid of is our strength that can easily take their lives. However, because I have already let them off yesterday, I have basically guaranteed that their lives will no longer be in danger. On this basis, what else can make them feel relaxed and happy? Isn't it the fact that they can still enjoy the secrets of this place after we leave?"
"On the other hand, their joy is even more of an indication that something is amiss. With both of us here to suppress them, we can kill them at any time. Under such circumstances, they can still feel happy … "Yun Yang paused and said," So we don't have to leave in a hurry. "
"It's because of these factors that I've suggested to wait for the night of the full moon to make a decision."
Yun Yang's gaze focused on Ji Lingxi's face as he said softly, "Do you understand now?"
Ji Lingxi was hit with a sudden realization. "I see. I don't think as far ahead as you do … Sigh, I really don't know how the brains of people like you grow. How can there be so many twists and turns? A casual sentence can set a huge trap for someone … It's terrifying to be able to glean so much information from such a small detail. "
Yun Yang laughed. "What's most frightening is to take things too seriously. Actually, as long as you think about these things properly and think about the reasons based on their reactions … you'll be able to get a rough idea. It's never a bad thing to think one or two steps ahead."
"Especially when I'm not by your side in the future. No matter what happens, you have to think about it this way. Think before you do anything."
Ji Lingxi nodded and hummed in agreement.
The night of the full moon arrived in the blink of an eye.
The setting sun had just set behind the mountain while the west was still giving off a peaceful afterglow. The moon had only just risen above the horizon in the east.
In that split second, dozens of miles around the Seven Star Lake was suddenly enveloped in an unusually bright atmosphere.
The sun that had already set in the west suddenly emitted thousands of rays of golden light.
The sun had already set, but thousands of golden rays overflowed from the back of the mountain, shooting straight into the sky.
On the other side, the moon that had just risen slowly also emitted thousands of rays of silver light, shooting into the sky as well.
At this moment, in this split second, the light of the sun and the light of the moon intersected in midair at the same time. One was glorious while the other was cold, yet it was a perfect fusion!
