Chapter 2117 - 14: Two Hundred Miles Through the Earth, Lan Chuan Is Shocked!

Chapter 2117: Chapter 14: Two Hundred Miles Through the Earth, Lan Chuan Is Shocked!

"Spells are only secondary. Spells of the same level are used differently in different people’s hands." The Lan Chuan Priest glanced at Yu Ying, "Some may need several times the effort to solve a problem, while some Ministers of Agriculture do it effectively and effortlessly."

Yu Ying’s expression shifted slightly. She always felt that the Lan Chuan Priest hinted at something, could he be saying that she, a Demigod, couldn’t handle challenges as easily as Emperor Chen An?

"To receive such praise from the Lan Chuan Priest, Emperor Chen An is surely destined to become a Heaven Patrol Divine Guard. I’ll find a chance to learn from her; I want to see what abilities she possesses."

After crossing the hundred-mile mark, Zhao Xing still did not stop; he was entirely immersed in the joy of overcoming challenges.

Unlike the Venerable Lan Chuan, Yu Ying could not see directly and had to use the Earth Communication Skill to vaguely sense Zhao Xing’s position.

"He’s still moving further down."

"Can he still go further? He’s just an Eight Tribulation Emperor, truly unafraid of death."

After breaking through the hundred-mile mark, the horizontal space of descending expanded significantly.

The hemispherical barrier formed by the Command Flags inserted by Feng Qi extended downward, also limiting some activity space, serving as a form of protection.

Indeed, a Minister of Agriculture can manipulate the heaven and earth powers, borrowing the Heaven and Earth Power, but they might also play themselves to death.

Years ago, Zhao Xing harnessed the power of the Boundary Volcano to kill the Turtle Clan leader in the Spirit Void Origin Realm, but he couldn’t control the power as its range was too vast, triggered by a fifty-person group volcanic eruption. If it weren’t for the Mechanical Master Gu Ming maneuvering the Boundary Boat, he would have been affected too.

Drowning often happens to those proficient in swimming!

"Above a hundred miles, the Command Flags limit the activity space, which also indirectly limits the power of the earth changes summoned by the Minister of Agriculture, preventing them from playing themselves to death."

"However, below a hundred miles, the Command Flag space expands, meaning the upper limit of power generated by earth changes has reached Demigod Level."

"There’s a limit to borrowing power; if it’s too overwhelming, it might crush him first." Yu Ying thought silently.

Yet Zhao Xing continued his descent, and after the hundred-mile mark, his speed didn’t decrease; it even increased.

Primarily because Zhao Xing had started using Qinghua Magical Power, Red Lotus Magical Power, Cangming Magical Power, and Mysterious Soul Magical Power to amplify himself at this point.

The amplification of the True Spirit Fire with Mysterious Soul Magical Power, amplification of Spiritual Will with Cangming Magical Power, inclusion of the Destruction Path with Red Lotus Magical Power, and encompassing Green Lotus Magical Power accelerated Zhao Xing’s challenge below a hundred miles.

"After a hundred miles, every vertical hundred miles is a checkpoint."

"He’s almost at two hundred miles deep now?" Yu Ying was somewhat shocked.

Having spent over half a year descending two hundred miles, is this really achievable by an Eight Tribulation Emperor?

"He should stop upon encountering the Extreme Cold Earth Vein."

"You wait here, I’ll go down and check." Venerable Lan Chuan instructed, then transformed into a strand of green smoke diving underground.

Clearly, Venerable Lan Chuan also started to worry about Zhao Xing’s safety.

If such talent were to die underground accidentally, it would be a great loss.

He had to go down and see, ready to intervene when Zhao Xing was at the end of his strength.

...

"Gulong~"

Two hundred miles underground was a magma lake.

Bubbles boiled in the magma lake, each rise resembling a star’s extinction, releasing intense fluctuations.

Zhao Xing watched the spectacle, furrowing his brows.

For this magma wasn’t crimson, but blue.

He didn’t feel any heat; rather, there was a soul-chilling coldness.

"Extreme Cold Earth Vein." Zhao Xing took a deep breath, "Indeed, yet another of the thousand earth marvels."

"No wonder ’Extreme Vertical Mysterious Earth’ can sit and discuss Tao with the Yu God, even awarded a Divine Artifact of the Path. Assuming the latter are all thousand earth marvels level and continually strengthening, to explore to the end, one would need a Divine King Level Minister of Agriculture."

After observing for a while, Zhao Xing began contemplating a solution.

"Normally, if the earth vein is extremely cold, it wouldn’t flow like a river; instead, it would freeze, remaining still."

"But now, this blue magma lake is boiling, completely defying natural laws."

"I can’t sense the slightest essence of gold, wood, earth, fire. Such marvels aren’t clearly explained in the Ancient Hill’s Taoist Book either."

"Only Mei Mountain Venerable’s teacher ’Lan God,’ the founder of the Life Palace, mentioned that aside from forceful disruption, to shake the ’Ice Lake,’ one must start with the ’Stone Embryo Technique’ in the Xuantu Skill."

What is the Stone Embryo Technique? It relates somewhat to the Life Palace and the corresponding Cultivation Technique ’Jilu Jiezi Mountain.’

The Cultivation Technique of Jilu Jiezi Mountain can cultivate a ’Life Palace,’ but the Extreme Land Giant God Peak’s difficulty is immense.

The reason being Life Palace, when nurturing a second life, transforms into a ’stone embryo.’

The Stone Embryo Technique was initially placed in both Xuantu Skill and Spirit Mountain Technique because its principles lacked sources in the Earth Advantage Sect, yet the Marquis Transformation Method in the Heavenly Time Sect provided a basis.

The phenological changes turning into stone embryo, no matter how you view this Stone Embryo Technique, it seems to belong to the Marquis Transformation Sect.

But how could the Ancient Hill admit this? Life Palace is an exclusive knowledge of the Ancient Hill, admitting Stone Embryo Technique is Heavenly Time Technique would be a devastating blow to the Ancient Hill’s exclusivity.

The small Heavenly Time Sect wants to surpass my Earth Advantage Sect; it’s outright rebellion!

Thus, they’d never admit it, first placing it in the Spirit Mountain Technique, forcibly granting it a phrase ’Divine Mountain nurtures Spiritual Beauty, stone embryo obtains creation.’

Later, it was placed in the Xuantu Skill, simply without explanation.
