"What exactly is this …" Liu Ming was puzzled. He did not find any clues about this object in the Celestial State stemborer's memory.
The stone door that led to this place was the one that the Celestial State stemborer had blasted open. However, it only found a teleportation portal and nothing else.
"Forget it, I'll look into it when I have the chance." Liu Ming studied the formation runes on the stone tablet. Unfortunately, with his limited knowledge of formations, he had no idea what to make of it.
With a wave of his hand, he kept the green stone tablet into his Sumeru Ring.
He then walked around the stone chamber and found nothing. He did not linger and returned the way he came.
Not long after, Liu Ming returned to the ore vein.
At this time, the purge battle was over. Except for a few stemborers that escaped in the chaos, the rest of the stemborers had been wiped out by the Taiqing Sect disciples led by Kun Yu.
The Ye Clan members were cleaning up the battlefield under the Ye Clan Leader's command. These mid-level and low-level stemborer corpses were of some value. Although the Taiqing Gate disciples did not think much of them, they were still useful to the Ye Clan.
"Senior Brother Liu, you're back!"
"Younger Brother Liu."
"Liu."
The Taiqing Gate disciples and the Ye Clan Leader greeted Liu Ming as soon as they saw him.
"I was delayed for a moment because of a small matter, please forgive me. It seems that the stemborers in this area have been purged. "Liu Ming looked around and cupped his fists.
"About two to three hundred escaped, but they're no longer a threat. Don't worry, Junior Brother." Kun Yu smiled.
"That's great. By the way, I used the Soul Searching Technique on the Celestial State stemborer and found that it came from a place called the Wailing Ghost Gorge. That's all there are. There shouldn't be any more stemborers in hiding. " Liu Ming cupped his fists at Kun Yu and told her what he had learned from the Celestial State stemborer's memory.
"I've also searched the souls of the other stemborers, and the information I obtained is more or less the same. It seems like the mission has been successfully completed." Kun Yu nodded.
As soon as Kun Yu said this, everyone from the Taiqing Gate beamed with joy.
The mission was completed, which meant that they would receive another batch of contribution points and rewards from the Sect.
The Ye Family Patriarch was also overjoyed. In this way, at least for the next period of time, the Green Mulberry Mountain Range where his family resided should be free from stemborers.
As long as they had some time to catch their breath, they would be able to set up a powerful defensive formation, and even if more stemborers were to attack, they would be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
After that, the Master of the Ye Clan tried his best to invite the members of the Taiqing Gate to stay at the Ye Castle for a night as a host. However, Liu Ming and the others did not stay for long. They quickly returned to the Ye Castle as if they were in a hurry.
A few days later, Liu Ming and the others once again returned to the Thousand Spirit Mountain Range.
When he heard that Liu Ming had killed a Celestial Phenomenon stemborer, even though it was only a low-level Celestial Phenomenon stemborer, Taoist Master Tian Ge was shocked.
Everyone, including Liu Ming, naturally received a large amount of contribution points as a reward. Among them, Liu Ming naturally received the most contribution points, so his hard work was not in vain.
After parting ways with the others, Liu Ming chatted with Calan for a while. After sending her back to Ethereal Peak, he immediately went to the Sect's Sutra Library.
Speaking of which, after becoming an Esoteric Disciple, he could enter the Buddha Palace to read some ancient books that were only available to Esoteric Disciples. As for reading the ancient books in the Sect's Sutra Library, it was completely free. As long as he paid a certain amount of contribution points, he could even copy the ancient books there.
Liu Ming spent a sum of contribution points to copy a batch of ancient books about teleportation arrays and the way of arrays, then he returned to the cave house in the Buddha Palace.
His goal was naturally the mysterious stone slab he had obtained from the Jade Peak Ridge.
Because he faintly felt that this thing should not be as simple as an ordinary teleportation array.
After studying behind closed doors for a few days, Liu Ming still knew very little about the patterns on the slate. No matter how he tried, the patterns showed no signs of recovery.
However, the effect of the spirit gathering stones around the slate to absorb the spirit of heaven and earth did not disappear. It was just that the strange thing was that the spirit absorbed by the spirit gathering stones seemed to be swallowed by a bottomless hole.
However, the research in these few days was not in vain. Liu Ming found out that the green slate with the patterns was not an ordinary thing, but an ancient spiritual material called Celestial Green Jade. It was a kind of excellent spiritual material for making disk arrays. It should have long been extinct in the Middle Sky Continent.
A few days later, Liu Ming received another mission message from Daoist Tian Ge in his cave house. At the same time, the news of him killing the Celestial Stemborer Clan had spread throughout the entire Taiqing Gate.
From the grand elder of the Mystic Tong Sect to the outer disciple who had just joined, almost everyone knew "Liu Ming".
…
More than 2 months later, above the Pegasus Grassland on the central edge of the Middle Sky Continent, there was a huge fluctuation in the air. The entire space was filled with screams of killing.
More than 20 Crystallization Period and Pseudo Pellet State disciples of Taiqing Gate formed an array to resist a black stemborer army.
In the air, 5 Jin Dan cultivators were fighting with 7 or 8 Jin Dan stemborers. One of them was Liu Ming.
He controlled the Bitter Wheel Sword to create a huge half-moon shaped sword light, entangling 2 stemborers of the Real Pellet State later stage and 1 Real Pellet State intermediate stage stemborer with the highest cultivation of the opponent at the same time.
Thick bolts of lightning appeared on the surface of the Bitter Wheel Sword, and it continued to attack the three-headed stemborer with ease and ease.
Although the 3 stemborers had thick skin and hard carapace, they had no chance to fight back under Liu Ming's exquisite sword controlling mystic art and countless lightning strikes.
Not long after, Liu Ming found a flaw. He channeled the Tiger Dragon Hell Prison and blasted the Jin Dan intermediate stage stemborer into meat paste.
With Liu Ming, the esoteric disciple who could kill Celestial State, the rest of the Taiqing Gate disciples were naturally in high spirits. They fought more and more fiercely, defeating the stemborer army.
…
A year later, in the southwest of the Middle Sky Continent, above an unknown sea area adjacent to the South Sea Region, hundreds of human cultivators and countless stemborers were fighting fiercely. The huge roar of spiritual power resounded through the world. The sea below seemed to be boiling, splashing countless waves.
Hundreds of human cultivators were roughly divided into green and white clothes. They were the coalition forces of Taiqing Gate and Haoran Academy. They were led by 2 Celestial State cultivators and 20 or 30 Jin Dan cultivators. Liu Ming was also among them.
The fierce battle lasted for a few hours before the sea returned to calm.
…
Time flew, 5 or 6 years had passed in the blink of an eye.
On the Middle Sky Continent, the war between the Stemborer Race and the Human Race was getting fiercer and fiercer.
After experiencing the initial chaos, the Human Race cultivators, led by the 4 ancient sects, had now gradually mastered a certain method of resistance.
The small and medium-sized forces either migrated together to form a small alliance or attached themselves to the 4 ancient sects such as Taiqing Gate.
Therefore, although the whole continent was in constant war during this period, there were few cases of Human Race forces being destroyed.
In addition, the Zhongtian Alliance, which was led by the Ancestral Sects, also sent many cultivators with formation equipment to the large cities where mortals gathered. They set up defensive formations and short-distance teleportation formations to defend against the invasion of the Borer Race.
The mortals in the small and medium-sized cities naturally began to migrate to the large cities under the protection of the Sect forces with the help of cultivators and gradually settled down.
Facing the organized resistance of the Human Race cultivators, the Stemborer Race army also gave up the original method of fighting everywhere. A large number of Stemborers who came across the border united together and occupied several areas as bases. It seemed like they were going to fight a protracted war with the Human Race of the Middle Sky Continent.
The two sides had experienced several tentative wars and both sides suffered losses.
A year ago, the 4 ancient sects joined forces and gathered tens of thousands of elite disciples to attack an area occupied by the Stemborer Race. They broke through the Stemborer Race in one fell swoop and sealed several space channels here.
During this period, several Ethereal Enlightenment cultivators of the 4 ancient sects joined forces and killed a clone of the Stemborer Queen. Once the news spread, the morale of the Human Race cultivators soared.
After suffering such a huge loss, the Stemborer Race began to harass the forces all over the continent after a period of retreat. When the major forces scattered to defend themselves, they suddenly attacked the Mystic Demon Sect with a thunderous force.
Although the other 3 Sect of the 4 ancient sects immediately rushed to the rescue after learning the news and finally stopped the attack of the Stemborer Race, the Demon Mystic Sect still suffered heavy casualties. A Ethereal Enlightenment Realm grand elder was besieged by several clones of the Stemborer Queen and unfortunately died. Even his primordial spirit didn't have time to escape. Countless ordinary disciples were injured and killed. It would probably take thousands of years to recover.
As for Liu Ming, as a famous esoteric disciple of the Taiqing Sect, he had been active in various battlefields. In frequent battles with the high-rank Stemborer Race, he had made progress in all aspects, including mental state, perception, body, and spiritual power. He had faintly touched the opportunity to break through to the later stage of Jin Dan.
…
Inside the cave mansion of Stupa Mountain, in a dimly lit secret room, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on the stone bed, emitting a faint black light.
On the ground of the secret room, there was a rather complicated magic circle. A black jade bottle was placed in front of him. Bursts of heavy black water vapor came out of the bottle and condensed into various shapes of birds and beasts. They surrounded Liu Ming and slowly penetrated into his body.
The jade bottle contained the Styx River Heavy Water that he brought from the Netherworld Realm. With the blessing of the magic circle, the black water vapor made the whole secret room chilly like an ice cave. However, such an environment didn't seem to affect Liu Ming at all.
Suddenly, Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and suddenly opened his eyes. He waved his hands, and the black water vapor around him instantly rolled over and surged into his body.
Since he realized the opportunity to break through, he applied to the Sect to temporarily leave the frontline and concentrate on closed-door cultivation in the cave mansion.
After more than a month of closed-door cultivation, Liu Ming faintly felt that there was an inexplicable agitation in his Spiritual Sea as if something would come out at any time.
With a sigh of relief, he put away the jade bottle on the ground, stood up, and walked out of the cave mansion.
