189: Chapter 189 [Qingxu Heaven], Ordinary Mid-Rank

"Hmm~, this energy seems to be born from heaven and earth. It is very compatible with my Vital Qi, yet different from flesh-and-blood life; it carries an air of treating all things as mere straw dogs. The energy concentration in this place is less than 1 point."

With the help of the Yin Spirit thought, the Bi Luoshui Avatar frantically drew in spiritual energy from within a 10-unit radius, replenishing itself back to its original level 10 life form.

However, in a spacious courtyard in a small town 5 miles away, a middle-aged human cultivator at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, who was sitting cross-legged and absorbing spiritual energy, was startled out of his cultivation by the violent tidal waves of gathered spiritual energy.

"Who is absorbing spiritual energy like this under the rule of my Qingxuan Sect? Don't they know that the spiritual energy here is claimed?"

He immediately opened the door to the cultivation room, ignoring the two young acolytes standing guard outside.

Forming a hand seal, he rode a clear breeze and drifted toward the village.

"Immortal Master Yin is truly an immortal figure; riding the wind and controlling the air, how carefree."

"That goes without saying. Immortal Masters are impervious to swords and spears; even if they stood there and let you swing a blade at them, you wouldn't be able to cut them."

The Bi Luoshui Avatar, still absorbing spiritual energy in the farmland, had by now recovered to a level 9 life form, enough to carry the Yin Spirit thought and unleash a single spell ability of a level 3 Initial-Tier.

With its increased perception range, it sensed from afar a life form around level 5, with significant energy reserves inside its body, rapidly approaching its location.

The Incarnation had originally thought about finding some natives to understand the situation here, but it hadn't expected someone practicing the extraordinary path to come looking for it.

Because it was sheltered by the Yin Spirit thought, the Bi Luoshui Avatar's aura did not leak a single bit. Yin Pingzhi only saw the vortex of gathered spiritual energy here and, having sensed no aura, assumed some spiritual object had been born, which is why he had come.

He never expected to see a small water person, thirty or forty centimeters tall, in this place.

"Is this... a spiritual object taking form, or some kind of demonic beast?"

Just as he was hesitating whether to capture this thing of unknown strength...

At this moment, the Bi Luoshui Avatar threw a small glob of Bi Luoshui, which shot toward Yin Pingzhi. Seeing this attack, Yin Pingzhi didn't even think before casting a Water Shield technique.

Unexpectedly, the water bullet attack, which he had thought would have some power, simply scattered upon touching the water shield.

Having suffered no damage at all, Yin Pingzhi curled his lips, and just as he was about to use another spell to capture this small water person, his eyes suddenly glazed over, as if something had been replaced, before returning to clarity.

It was the Incarnation's Yin Spirit thought connecting to his aura of fortune, briefly replacing his spirituality under the [Ten Thousand Wood Firmament], modifying his logical understanding, and coordinating with the Bi Luoshui Avatar's actions.

Yin Pingzhi stepped forward and immediately bowed.

"Lord Biluo, please feel free to instruct this lowly one if you have any orders."

Seeing his respectful demeanor, the Bi Luoshui Avatar's aura suddenly increased, and it immediately conveyed via mental transmission:

"What place is this, what time is it now, and what is the situation in this world? Report immediately."

Hearing this, Yin Pingzhi had no doubts at all and spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

"This is the southern border under the jurisdiction of the Qingxuan Sect, bordering the Nanling Mountains. It is currently the year 20024 of the Dharma-Ending Era. We call this world [Qingxu Heaven]. It is currently jointly ruled by five great immortal sects: the Qingxuan Sect, Diling Sect, Hexin Sect, White Bone Temple, and Tianli Academy, each governing one of the five regions of [Qingxu Heaven]. However, the world has now fallen into a Dharma-Ending Era with low spiritual energy, and there are forbidden zones between the five regions, so there is little interaction."

...As time passed, the space around the continent began to stabilize.

At some unknown moment, two more continents appeared nearby, though these two were tiny compared to the first continent that spanned one hundred million light-years.

Furthermore, while originally only laws interfered with entry, now white mist began to shroud the entire space, and these continents also hid within it.

At this moment, a giant extraordinary warship made of green bones emerged from the Dark Universe and appeared behind the [tianhe ship].

The Incarnation sensed that its aura was no less than a Mid-Tier Level 1. Inside, besides Mid-Tier life forms, there were quite a few Initial-Tier extraordinary beings, but it was wrapped in a green-glowing protective shield, making it impossible to sense the situation inside.

Originally, this warship intended to charge over and push the [tianhe ship] to the side. However, upon sensing its equally Mid-Tier Level 1 law fluctuations, it changed direction and headed toward the starships of the weaker races on the right, which had already obediently yielded their positions before the green bone warship even arrived.

There were even a few tianhe ships that were clearly uniquely crafted from trees, which had already silently left the area.

In one of the tianhe ships, a leading locust tree treant captain ordered:

"Mid-Tier warships are already participating here, even a Green Bone warship of the Green Lizard Race; there is no share for us. All tianhe ships, retreat immediately."

An apple treant who had just ascended to extraordinary asked suspiciously:

"Captain, why not stay? Even if the big prizes are scavenged by the Mid-Tier adults, picking up some scraps would be enough for our Treant civilization to sell for a good price."

"You just became extraordinary and don't understand. We Initial-Tier civilizations only have a chance to leave if we encounter a ruin at the very beginning, go inside to pick up some scattered resources, and take advantage of the time before other Mid-Tier civilizations arrive.

Afterward, when the entire ruin unfolds, these adults will first clear us out. By then, without having cut off contact with the outside world, we wouldn't even know how we died."

...The conversations and mental fluctuations of these civilizations were all perceived by the Incarnation. Furthermore, before they left, it used the divine ability [Ten Thousand Wood Firmament] to connect to their aura of fortune, injecting a bit of Wood-element aura, gradually transforming them into trees within its own aura firmament.

"The Green Lizard Race?"

The [Ling Ming] projection on the side pulled up their data and introduced them to the Incarnation.

"The Green Lizard Race is a Mid-Tier civilization 4000 light-years away and a vassal of the Beast Alliance. This green bone warship is the Green Lizard King's flagship, and he has been a Mid-Tier for nearly 1000 years."

"1000 years?"

The Incarnation carefully sensed it, even observing with its aura of fortune, and found his strength was likely just hovering around Mid-Tier Level 1, without any of the deep accumulation of nearly 1000 years.

The Incarnation's own aura was far deeper than his, by who knows how much?

"This must be a fake Mid-Tier life form! He has lived in vain; Savage and the others are already veteran Mid-Tier Level 2 at over 2000 years old."

Seeing the Incarnation somewhat incredulous that there could be such a useless Mid-Tier.

[Ling Ming] chuckled and explained.

"Real Man, you cannot compare the geniuses cultivated by Three Human Races' high-tier civilizations or founders of extraordinary paths like yourself with this kind of civilization. To put it nicely, these Mid-Tier existences only broke through to Mid-Tier due to deep accumulation. To put it bluntly, they actually used some special treasure to luckily break through; otherwise, they wouldn't be stagnating."
