These celestial beings seemed to be well versed in suppressing, sealing, and destroying spiritual energy. Without in-depth research on spiritual energy and cultivators, they would not be able to do this.
The starry sea is vast, and perhaps there are powers beyond technology and psychic energy. Why do the celestial beings target cultivators so harshly? Or do they share the same origin?
After learning a lot about Chu Yao, my horizons became particularly broadened and I began to think about everything from a higher perspective.
There must be more unknown secrets behind this.
She shook her head and put the thought aside for the moment.
In any case, none of this concerned her now. Even if she really wanted to go deeper, she would not be a match for those high-energy weapons and interstellar battleships.
The most important thing now is to restore your own cultivation. Strength is the most fundamental.
No matter where you are, strength is the ultimate truth. This is true for cultivators towards mortals, and it is also true for celestial beings towards cultivators.
The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. This is the truth of survival in this starry sky.
Chu Yao calmed down and returned to her senior sister's residence, telling her everything she had just heard. The latter was also deeply shocked after hearing it and remained silent for a long time.
"Junior sister, what are you thinking now?"
"I want to fly a spaceship."
Chu Yao’s response was a slap in the face.
"It hurts, it hurts...Okay, anyway, let's find a way to recover our cultivation first, and then make plans. I can't just dig mines here forever, can I?"
"Okay. Once I perfect this maze formation, we'll have a better chance of escaping."
After a brief discussion, the two decided on their next plan. It was already late, and after dinner, they heard the distant horn sound, so they went together.
——
The next morning, before daybreak, the horn sounded again, and Chu Yao began his first day in the mine.
The crowd gathered together, hundreds of people in a mighty and spectacular procession, all walking towards the mine under the command of the heavenly guard.
Chu Yao was assigned to Mine No. 4. Before going down the cave, each person was given a small pickaxe with a flashlight. Then they were divided into groups of seven or eight and taken to various branch mines in mine carts.
She also understood why this kind of mining work had to be done by manpower instead of machines: the mother stone produced here was very soft in texture and was mainly used to make handicrafts, so when digging, people had to do it themselves, and they had to be very careful, otherwise the mother stone would easily be broken by a pickaxe.
Chu Yao looked at the big sack in her hand. This was what she would use to make a living from now on.
The dark mine was damp and hot, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only the lanterns carried by the Tianren guards in the team cast a dim light.
Chu Yao followed the established procedure, using a flashlight to sweep across the dim stone walls and using a pickaxe to dig up the waste soil and rocks.
She learned these things quickly because they were not difficult. Soon she saw a bright white color between the cracks in the stone, carefully cleared the stone, and then lifted it up and held it in her hand.
She weighed the Yuanmu Stone, which was half the size of her palm, and it was very light, much lighter than the spirit stone, but she couldn't sense whether it contained spiritual power.
Looking at the material that was visible through it, she figured it was gone. She dropped the stone into the sack behind her and continued her search for the next one.
The joy of her first success faded, and what followed was only the tedious repetitive labor. To outsiders, she seemed quite enthusiastic, but in fact, while mining, she was constantly practicing cultivation.
Not only the Soul Preservation Technique, but also her innate skill "The Netherworld Technique".
The Netherworld Secret was passed down to her by her master. It is the inherited martial art of the Tianyin Sect's lineage, and her senior sister also practices this.
This technique is quite special. It has only been passed down to females and not males throughout the generations. The conditions for practicing it are extremely harsh. One needs to go to a dangerous and dangerous place filled with yin energy to draw the yin energy of heaven and earth into the body, which can then be transformed into one's own spiritual power.
It sounds quite "evil", but that's the right thing to do. Tianyin Sect is indeed a big sect, but it has never claimed to be upright.
In fact, in the eyes of the world, Chu Yao and Bai Yuejian are both witches of the evil sect, especially Chu Yao, who is notorious for her viciousness and eats people without leaving any bones. In her early years, she even had the nickname "Ghost Fairy", but she didn't like it very much.
Let's not talk about this for now. The Netherworld Art is difficult to practice, but once successfully mastered, it is extremely powerful. It can be practiced from the Qi Refining Stage all the way to the Nascent Soul Stage. The accompanying spells are also extremely powerful, and there are few rivals among the same level.
As soon as she arrived deep into the mine, she felt that it was a place with a very strong yin energy. She immediately thought of her own innate skills, but it didn't work.
Mining affected her thinking, so she only tried it briefly and decided to meditate and study it during her rest time.
"It's so inconvenient to install this flashlight on the handle of the pickaxe..." someone muttered quietly nearby.
"It can be disassembled." The guard who followed the team said slowly, fiddling with a shiny square tile in his hand.
"If you find it's not useful, just take it off and put it back when you hand it in."
Disassembly...
Chu Yao heard it clearly from the side, turned the small pickaxe in his hand over, fiddled with it for a few times, and sure enough, a built-in flashlight was unscrewed off.
The various technologies of this celestial being are extremely sophisticated, but I wonder how this small lamp that looks like a night-shining stone actually works.
The "fellow miners" around her were busy with their own work, and the guards were also very lazy, so no one paid attention to what she was doing. So she took the flashlight and pickaxe apart and put them back together again, and found two cylindrical stones inside the flashlight. When she took them out, the light stopped working.
The stone reads "Beifu Energy Ring - Magic Power Battery ver3.0"
Batteries...is that its energy source?
