Chapter 51 Heaven's Dao is Very Powerful
Although the commander of the 63rd Army Reclamation Regiment did not have a lot of information, he still had a fair amount.
After analyzing the intelligence he obtained, he discovered that the main source of the strange beasts was a Black Wind Canyon between two mountain peaks more than a hundred miles away from their base.
Black Wind Canyon has been designated a forbidden area ever since their military reclamation regiment set out here eight years ago.
It was designated a forbidden area because strong winds blow there year-round, and several groups of people who went there to explore mineral veins and water sources suffered heavy losses.
According to those who managed to escape, almost everyone who entered the windy area was swept away by the gale.
Only a few who had been tied to the large rocks with sturdy ropes managed to escape, and even so, their bodies were covered in countless wounds from the wind blades.
Such a terrifying place, with no rare mineral veins nearby, was designated a forbidden area by the commander, who forbade his subordinates from approaching it to avoid unnecessary losses.
However, the news that came back this time was that although the gale in Black Wind Canyon was still very strong, every now and then, for about fifteen minutes, the gale would turn into a gentle breeze.
During this time, one strange beast after another will crawl out from it.
In just three short days, at least fifty strange beasts crawled out of there.
Considering the total number of beasts attacking them this time, which has exceeded three hundred,
Therefore, it can be roughly deduced that strange beasts had already begun to emerge from Black Wind Canyon more than twenty days ago.
Upon hearing this, Xi'er and the others couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Based on this inference, there will be a continuous stream of strange beasts crawling out of Black Wind Canyon in the future.
If there is only this one loophole, no matter the cost, we can find a way to fix it.
The problem is, the territory of the Dust Continent is so vast, who knows how many loopholes still exist!
This is truly terrifying to think about!
If the alien beasts continue to invade, then the Dust Continent will face the greatest crisis in its history!
Xi'er originally thought that as long as she reported this major discovery to the High Priest, the crisis would be resolved quickly.
Now it turns out that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the crisis!
Even if they were lucky enough to kill more than 300 strange beasts, the strange beasts flying in the sky had probably already flown to all directions, and would continue to be replenished.
This is almost identical to, or even surpasses, the way the Demon Clan invaded the Misty Heaven Realm through spatial rifts.
After all, the Fine Demon Clan relies entirely on the erosion of gray mist and their own combat power is not strong enough, while these strange beasts are all powerful.
Furthermore, they are very likely the vanguard sent from a higher interface.
If these strange beasts are controlled by an even more intelligent race, then conquering the Dust Continent would be an easy task for them.
War is always cruel. Even if the people of the Demon Clan fight back with all their might, they will ultimately pay a heavy price in blood.
Xi'er knew she had to make a crucial decision.
Over the past decade, she has purified countless bodies of water and gained countless amounts of faith power.
There was too much of this power of faith for her; it was simply impossible for her to absorb it all at once.
In order not to waste such precious resources, Xi'er used her own witch spirit power to communicate with heaven and earth and created a method to gather the power of faith.
She condensed the power of faith she received into beads of faith and stored them in her hollowed-out silver sphere space.
The total amount of Faith Crystals stored has now reached an astonishing number. If she absorbs them all, her cultivation will definitely experience a qualitative breakthrough.
For the past ten years, she has been suppressing the speed of her cultivation improvement in order to make steady progress and not to cause instability in her state of mind due to advancing too quickly.
But now, she has decided to stop suppressing her advancement speed, because what she is about to face is likely an invasion from a higher level.
She couldn't let these people of the Little Demon Clan, who had just begun to live a stable life, fall into despair again.
"Commander of the 63rd Regiment, I beg you to lead some men to guard outside and protect me," Xi'er instructed with a serious expression.
Upon receiving her orders, the commander of the 63rd Regiment immediately gathered his elite troops and set up a defensive barrier around her, layer upon layer.
Prior to this, Xi'er had already sent a message on a jade slip, conveying the information about the invasion of the alien beasts to the High Priest and her parents.
Today, the Dust Continent is recovering its ecology, and the concentration of spiritual energy has increased, enough to support the use of communication jade slips.
After delivering the message, she began to focus on advancing her skills.
The three purple demon servants were healing their wounds, while Fusheng and Ruomeng were asleep. Xiaobao and Lingdeng then spontaneously stayed by her side to protect her.
Xi'er took out all the faith crystals and began to absorb them.
These faith crystals were the result of the devout hearts of the demon people, and they were absorbed very easily.
All that could be seen was a thick golden cocoon of light forming where she was, and the girl inside, enveloped in the light, had a shadowy figure, yet she exuded a faint aura of holiness and nobility.
The elite soldiers of the military reclamation corps responsible for guarding the area couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow in devout worship.
They were able to escape death this time only because Goddess Bai Xi arrived in time.
They were already grateful to her, and now, touched by the holy aura emanating from the faith crystal, they couldn't help but offer her their own ray of faith.
Inside the golden cocoon of light, as each bead of faith was absorbed, Xi'er's aura began to rise steadily.
Her cultivation started at the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm, and she broke through to the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth levels...
Deep down, Xi'er had a premonition that if she continued to let her cultivation level rise unchecked, she might even break through to the peak of the Tongtian Realm and directly trigger the Ascension Tribulation.
Helpless, she had no choice but to stop halfway and forcibly suppress the continued breakthrough of her cultivation. In the end, her cultivation level remained at the ninth and a half level of the Tongtian Realm.
However, the faith crystals absorbed into the body could not be fully digested in a short time, and they were still churning inside the body.
Suddenly, they found a breakthrough, and all the faith power that they hadn't had time to absorb went straight to the sky, forming a bridge of communication.
This golden bridge is invisible to everyone except Xi'er herself; it is mysterious and profound, connecting to a void.
In the void, there are countless transparent threads floating about, seemingly drifting randomly, intertwined into a tangled mess.
These fine lines are the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth. Xi'er sensed them faintly and resolutely stepped onto the golden bridge.
She walked step by step to the other side of the golden bridge and reached out to grab one of the thin, transparent threads.
The thread she had pulled began to struggle violently, but Xi'er knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she held on tightly to the thin thread.
Suddenly, a repulsive force arose from that void, and by the time Xi'er came to her senses, she had already been pushed onto the golden bridge.
The golden bridge beneath her feet was rapidly disappearing, forcing her to use teleportation to return to her original location.
Then she discovered that the thin, transparent thread she was tightly holding had transformed into obscure, incomprehensible golden characters.
These characters eventually became a mantra, and upon careful contemplation, it was discovered that it was actually a spacetime restoration mantra!
Furthermore, this seal can only be used by her personally and cannot be taught to others, not even her closest parents and brothers.
Even so, it was enough to make Xi'er ecstatic!
This time, Heaven really came through, giving her a pillow when she was sleepy. What she needed now was this spacetime repair seal.
With this magic seal, she can quickly repair the spacetime rift and prevent more alien beasts from crawling out from there.
