Shi Lang entered the mine shaft after extracting all the beast crystals he found from the corpses of the beasts. The young man had no idea what the mine held for him. The young man entered the mine with great deliberation and caution. He was steady and calm with every step.
He did not enter the left branch of the shaft but cast a barrier around it to seal off the area. Then, he held his phaser handgun as a drone scouted his way forward. The young man checked the map on his visor and spent a few minutes covering the distance. After, he came to what seemed to be the ant queen's chamber. He was shocked.
Shi Lang found that the entering chamber was laced with spirit webbing, a thread-like substance covering every inch of the queen chamber. It seemed to have been formed from the saliva of the ant queen. If given to some beast, it might make them break through, but Shi Lang could not get himself to consume this thing as it was.
However, he was ready to absorb everything in this room to cultivate. With that thought, he sealed the other opening to the lower levels and began cultivation. His speed was not as fast as it was in the past because he was focusing on comprehending the meaning of his cultivation sutra slowly.
He wanted to use all the chances he could get before reaching the core of the mine as it would help him on the way and save his time. His actions inside the caverns will define the future of his task. At this moment, he was not strong enough in his eyes. This was a primary phenomenon.
When people who stand at a peak fall by a level, their confidence becomes shaky, and they need to rebuild their confidence from the ground level and reach the peak to feel accomplished. How can a champion be satisfied with a consolation prize?
Shi Lang started cultivating, and the scenery changed every few minutes. Then, finally, the spirit thread would evaporate, and Shi Lang will absorb the vapors. When he realized what was happening, he was surprised. He misjudged the semi-solid, high-quality spirit liquid for a solid thread-like substance.
If he was to analyze this place, the total amount of spirit liquid or spirit saliva was just a few milliliters. So he could not get a significant boost from this, but the quality of his spirit energy increased significantly.
...
While Shi Lang was busy with his cultivation, the others had already reached deeper into the mines and communicated. Jenkins had to deal with a few creepy creatures inside the last tunnel before he dug out the core crystal to absorb its energy. Then, he transferred the data and details back to the came, and only when Unity confirmed that this place was good enough did he start.
After Shi Lang had left, there was a brief time gap in their departures, so the sword spirit had told them to tell her everything about the place, and if the core crystal was not as good as the material, they needed to advance to the next level. Then they will not engage in absorbing the core crystal.
He was lucky, but the others were not. They were told to find another shaft and deal with everything again. The people were cursing their fate for finding a smaller core crystal. However, Unity was not as cruel as she pretended to be. She told people the smaller core crystals were not up to the mark.
Amelia was super lucky. She found a high-quality core crystal. However, it was worth it, given she used her physical spirit skills to deal with the enemy beasts.
...
On the other side, Unity dealt the hard cards to the youngsters. She beat them to a pulp but will kindly point out their mistakes. In just a few days, the young team has reached the peak of the core condensation realm. The beatings they received were all systematic and focused on opening their spirit points.
...
Ten days passed in a blink, and everyone was improving through the cultivation realms. Then, they received a piece of news. Darcx had made contact with the main family of the targeted clan. Unity was surprised at the efficiency of this guy and found that the suspicion was correct.
The people were involved in demonic cultivation practices, and things were progressing too fast. However, Darcx was not given a demonic cultivation technique because he was not even from the branch families. He was still in contact with a wastrel young master and found a few things out.
Unity thought for a few minutes, and then she told Shi Lang about it. The young man did not accept the request for communication because he was fighting with a beast capable of spewing spirit fire. If he were careless, his body would melt into a puddle of flesh.
With great effort, he finished dealing with the beast, then sat on the dark ground and called for Unity, asking her what was happening. Unity said, "Darcx made contact with the target, and he has discovered the allegation to be correct."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Tell him what was happening with the people. Another thing, tell him to look for the main guy."
Unity nodded and said, "Hmm, this aligns with my calculations. I have passed the order through the people."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Unity, I heard from the others you did not allow them to cultivate with a lower-quality core crystal. But I am telling you I will not walk out of here and find another mine. My injuries are getting serious from the constant stress."
Unity nodded and said, "Yeah, you can go ahead."
Shi Lang nodded, and the communication ended. Unity said, "Kids, it is time for you to start working on your tasks. Allandale, the suits should be ready in seven days. Marly, I need you on the array plates."
The two people nodded, and Unity said, "Eline and Nile, you will run simulations of navigating through space to reach the designated planetary body. The last thing is to add suppressors to the special weapons."
The people nodded, and all moved out quickly.
...
After three days, a tired Shi Lang stood before a shining blue wall. This was the core crystal. He sat down with his back attached to the crystal. He started to comprehend the meaning of his cultivation sutra. He has been consolidating every shred of knowledge that he could scratch upon when he was resting; today was the time he used them all.
The entire process was agonizing for his soul. The core crystal came into play at this point. It was capable of rejuvenating the soul with ease. The core crystal could change a dead planet into a living one. This thing was a concentrated version of the heaven and earth spirit energy.
It was also a primary material in high-grade pills that could bringbring one person back from the underworld's gates. This was too much vitality, and Shi Lang needed this vitality. He was not dealing with a low-grade core crystal. It was to favor his luck was a middle-grade crystal.
It could be said that he could utilize this crystal to the peak. This allowed him to climb back to his realm and even reach a new high that he had been yearning for. His comprehension of the cultivation sutra grew deeper and he came to understand that Shura was not all about killing but that any reason that stopped him from living the way he wanted to would be eliminated.
He would not turn blind with rage or numb with indifference. All he had to do with the things.
