In the dock, deep inside the forsaken starship, Li Yao sat cross-legged and floated in midair three feet from the ground. Silver stripes were flashing around his body, as if he were enshrouded in an enormous egg of spiritual energy.
The powerful telepathic thoughts of the Divinity Transformation Stage spread, spread, perceived, and scanned in the beehive prison in a mysterious way with Li Jialing's body as a "platform".
Very soon, in Li Yao's head, every feeble change of spiritual energy in the entire beehive prison was displayed clearly. Every node of spiritual energy extended out translucent spiritual threads that interweaved, entangled, and tore each other, eventually constituting the structure diagram of spiritual energy and the magnetic field model of the entire beehive prison.
It was like a specimen whose flesh and blood had been stripped away, leaving only nerves and veins.
All the critical parts were clearly visible.
Including the relay station buried at the most central part of the prison that was used to transmit energy incessantly.
The relay station 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 maintaining the balance of gravity inside and outside the entire star fortress, as well as the functioning of the spiritual shield and all kinds of attack and defense magical equipment. It was also responsible for resisting the pull of gravity from the Martial Meritocrats Planet. "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" floated above the atmosphere of the Martial Meritocrats Planet and was not completely out of the gravity sphere.
In other words, once the main energy supply system was blown up and part of the anti-gravity rune arrays of the entire star fortress lost effect, it would be attracted by the gravity of the earth that was as vast as an ocean, leading to an unprecedented, glamorous skyfall!
While Li Yao perceived every tiny wave of spiritual energy in the beehive prison wholeheartedly, he also sensed the pain, desperation, and fury from the deepest part of the soul of countless people who were caged in the cold space graveyard and tortured until they were neither human nor ghost.
The emotions that were as thick as magma, swamp, and venom almost swallowed his soul and suffocated him.
Li Yao's face was frozen in the shadow for a long time, before it was finally broken. Curling his lips, he replied to Li Jialing, "The scan is done. You can continue your normal training. Don't let the enemy discover any loopholes.
"Right. Let's find an opportunity to release Neltharion, my piece of reconnaissance magical equipment. I need it to take care of some 'trivial matters'. Then, I'll just wait for tomorrow to come and do something spectacular!"
"What should I do then?"
Li Jialing said in a hurry, "You said that you would find an opportunity to help me escape from Manjusaka!"
"Trust me."
Li Yao said solemnly, one word after another, "After tomorrow, 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' will cease to exist, and neither Wuying Lan nor Li Lingfeng will have the time to pay attention to you by then.
"Hey, do you know how many warships are docked in the spaceport of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'?"
"Well, I'm not sure. There should be seven to eight hundred warships, right?"
Li Jialing thought for a moment and said, "The battle to encircle 'Starlight' is not a military operation of a large scale. Also, 'Starlight' is a highly vigilant rat in space who will run away at the slightest disturbance. Therefore, Li Lingfeng probably did not summon too many regular troops here. He mainly wants to solve the problem with his own Colossus and the elite warriors of the major sects. After all, the starships of 'Starlight' are all garbage modified from civil carriers and armed mining starships. As long as the Crystal Suit can crawl into their stomachs, it will be more than easy to blow them up. There is no need to go through the trouble of summoning the main force from the frontline back."
"Eight hundred warships, right?"
Li Yao smiled. "Rest assured. I'll attract the firepower of the eight hundred warships to myself. Then, you can run as fast as you can!"
Li Jialing was stunned for a moment. "W-What …"
…
For the entire day that followed, Li Jialing stayed in the beehive prison to train himself.
He claimed that he was training, but in fact, he was helping Li Yao observe who the most ferocious criminals in the beehive prison were and where they were locked.
Li Yao, on the other hand, maneuvered Neltharion and snuck everywhere in the entire "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky".
Right now, the only people in the super-enormous space fortress that were known to pose a threat to Li Yao were Wuying Lan and Li Lingfeng.
With a great war coming, the two of them were both hiding in the control center, discussing their schemes and trying to dig the trap deeper. But never in their dreams did they expect that a Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage was crawling in and out of their nest blatantly.
Through Li Jialing's description, Li Yao had basically grasped the overall structure of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky". Then, he carried out a targeted exploration. Naturally, his efficiency was significantly improved.
Not only had he figured out the critical parts and joints of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", he had also drilled tiny holes on the cables and the transmission circuits of the space fortress in advance with Neltharion and installed the "gadgets" that he had carefully crafted for hacking the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors.
Once activated, the gadgets would be his "springboards", allowing his enormous destructive power that originated from "Mo Xuan the extraterrestrial devil" to surge forward unstoppably!
Destruction had always been a hundred times easier than construction.
Fortunately, he was playing the role of a "saboteur in the darkness" this time. He did not have any concerns. All he needed to do was to vent the fury and hatred in his heart and sabotage everything!
…
The dining hall that was as luxurious as a palace was illuminated by crystal chandeliers that were as brilliant as fire again.
The Immortal Cultivators from the major worlds of the Imperium of True Human Beings, who boasted noble bloodlines and immense strength, were gathered in the hall again. They were laughing, drinking, and enjoying the grand finale of the series of quests.
The 3D light beams floating around them displayed the pictures of quite a few different "earthly dragons" below the Land of Sins.
The roars of the ignorant Cultivators in the pictures, who thought that their blood was boiling and their passion, were in return for the casual smiles of the Immortal Cultivators at the dining table.
There was also a very clear overall map that displayed the coordinates of the Cultivators at this moment and their final destination to the Immortal Cultivators precisely.
Quite a few eye-catching arrows were crawling into an enormous cavity not far away from the ground at the same time. It was the place known as the "temple of the Cultivators" that had been excavated, modified, and decorated by the Immortal Cultivators.
In one of the pictures, a bald, one-armed female warrior with a drill tattoo on her forehead appeared. She was so excited that she almost cried tears of joy that the nobles, nobles, generals, experts, and their disciples couldn't help but sneer.
"They've found the temple!"
…
"They've found the temple!"
Deep inside the Land of Sins, inside "Cloud Piercer", the bald female warrior, Zuo Jingyun, could not help but dance in joy as she reported the good news that everyone had been waiting for. "It — it was Wei Longtao who discovered it. Not only did he escape from the hunting of the Immortal Cultivators miraculously, he also discovered the control center of the 'global sword network' before we did. The mainframe crystal processor inside is already being preliminarily restored!"
Everybody on "Cloud Piercer" was cheering. Han Te and the Coloured Glaze could not help but hug each other and crawl to A Boxing Champion together, crying and laughing.
"Wei Longtao has sent the specific coordinates of the 'temple' over and scanned the rock stratums nearby. Everybody is trying their best to join him. Let's move forward at full speed, too. Do not miss the historic moment!"
Zuo Jingyun waved her iron hands and declared confidently.
The drill of mystic rays rotated at a high speed again. Sparks were spluttering when the tracks with nails and claws rubbed against the rocks. The earthly dragon slightly tilted to the ground by thirty degrees. Forward, forward, forward, all the way unstoppably!
They were not far away from the "temple" in the first place. With the guidance of the precise coordinates and the rock stratums, after more than half an hour of exploration, the intense friction and shrieks of the drill in front suddenly disappeared. Then, its speed was almost increased by one third, and it crawled out of the bottom of an underground cavity!
This place was not the real surface yet, but it was only one kilometer away from the surface. It seemed that several underground rivers had congregated here a long, long time ago. Together with the intense geological movements, such a natural cavity that looked like an underground city had been created.
At this moment, more than half of the space in the underground cavity was occupied by a dark metal fortress. All kinds of twisted and interconnected vines were crawling on the surface of the metal fortress, emitting feeble fluorescence, as if it were a splendid fairytale world.
Above the underground cavity, there should be a gap that led to the surface, bringing in the cold and dry air from the surface, which slightly diluted the darkness and depression of the underground world.
Zuo Jingyun and all the resistance warriors of Starlight, perhaps stimulated by the cold air, could not help but shed tears the moment they saw the underground fortress. "Holy temple. Our holy temple!"
At this moment, the "holy temple" that had been talked about by all the Cultivators in myths for many years was like an iron beast that was gradually waking up. Deafening noises were echoing inside nonstop. On the surface that was covered by the vines, the sophisticated and magnificent rune arrays were emitting colorful brilliance. The brilliance extended tentacles to all directions and darted into the depths of the rock stratums. There was no telling where they would end up.
"Wei Longtao has activated the 'global sword network'. This is — this is great!"
