314: Chapter 314 The opportunity for the condensation of celestial fire and metal elements, and the acquisition of innate profound energy, brings troubles due to the abundance of profound energy.

Seeing her say this, Wang An lost interest in discussing this topic and instead asked, "How did you know we were hiding here just now? Although you, as an apostle, already possess the strength of a second-tier first-level, that alone shouldn't be enough to discover us."

Seeing him bring this up, the young Moon Apostle said with a look of reflected glory, "The Moon God told me. After becoming an apostle, the Moon God can borrow my perception to observe the surroundings. With the Moon God's power, it is only natural that it could detect the guests' abnormality."

Wang An nodded without saying more, though he thought to himself, "It seems this so-called Moon God is either a mid-tier third-level expert possessing the Profound Truth of Law, or some incomplete high-tier existence."

"Indeed, when coming to a ruin like this that clearly dates back to the aftermath of the Ancient Immortals' great battle, one must be cautious and cannot act recklessly."

"Then, could you tell me when this Moon Pool land began to possess this transcendental Cultivation system of the Moon Sequence?"

The Moon Apostle, Sophia, tilted her head and pointed her slender, pale fingers toward a withered, moonlight-exuding tree branch nearby: "Since our Moon God Theocracy has had records, starting from when the first founder obtained this Moon God token from Moon Mountain, we have gradually explored the ability to rely on serving the Moon God to grant the powers of the Apostle Sequence."

"It seems, then, that all your powers originate from this Moon Mountain."

"Not entirely. I know that some people are currently researching how to use Moon magic plants from Moon Mountain and other special Materials to concoct low-sequence promotion potions."

"It is said that they have already achieved significant results. Some nations that advocate for the artificial transformation of the natural world have gone even further in potion research and development."

Thus, Wang An speculated that the Ancient Immortal who controlled the Moon Dao must have had a large portion of their power scattered abroad, though it was unlikely that they had fallen.

According to the information Wang An had gathered over these past few days, those Ancient Immortals in the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm who controlled a Dao also possessed matching world positions—the Immortal Ranks.

Even if ordinary methods destroyed their Dharma forms, they could still resurrect from their Immortal Rank positions. The only exception was what they had seen these past few days: the world's Law and Dao had been modified and eroded, darkness and thunder had combined to devour the Earth Virtue, the Moon Star was incomplete and had fallen to the ground, and the imagery had changed drastically, leaving the position incomplete, which was what had caused that Ancient Immortal to fall into a long slumber.

"It seems this place involves quite a few secrets, but it is also an Opportunity. The three major paths of Moon Spirit, Moonlight, and Moon Power are the widely circulated sequence paths in this Moon Pool land."

"Perhaps I can try to collect the relevant Heaven and Earth Qi imagery to further accelerate the growth of my [Heavenly Fire] Dharma nature, which still requires quite a few more resources to fully nurture."

Over the past few years, Wang An had already collected six types of Laws: Yin Fire, Light Energy, Contemplation, Taiyin, Soul Spirit, and Moon Phase.

Now, all that was needed was the slow, steady work of accumulation. Moreover, because of the popularization and sale of Magic Treasures related to [Heavenly Fire] and Moon imagery, Dao Foundation Cultivators who advanced along this path were quickly emerging within the Human Federation, along with related Moon Phase Magic Treasures that other civilizations had borrowed and evolved.

Looking at the various civilizations and nations immersed in the spiritual atmosphere of the Moon Pool and Moon Mountain, Wang An made a decision. He then said to the Moon Apostle, Sophia, "I think we will stay here for a while to try our best to understand your system."

As a Saintess who had been chosen to ascend to Moon Apostle, Sophia naturally did not lack wisdom. She felt no dissatisfaction or intention to drive them away, despite this terrifying expert of unknown strength staying here.

The disparity in strength was obvious, and furthermore, the Moon God had not issued an order of expulsion, so she naturally would not be so unwise as to do such a thing.

Therefore, Sophia nodded with a sincere smile, "Sophia feels honored that the two guests can stay in our Moon God Theocracy."

"If you need to enter the Moon Mountain area, you may come find me then."

"The power granted by the Moon God can help us avoid those powerful ancient Moon Beasts of the Moon Power path, and spirituality, as the main ability of our Moon Spirit path, can also help us avoid many dangerous areas."

Wang An was naturally happy that the local was offering help, and he immediately smiled and shook her hand.

Afterward, he took Lu Tianxin, who was busy devouring Moon Spirit Fruit and Moon Spirit Wine, and began to stroll through the capital.

Lu Tianxin's personality was originally quite the opposite of enjoying crowds; she usually just handled government affairs or contemplated Cultivation. However, this Puppet Clone, which was merely an attachment of her thoughts, could not Cultivate. She was much livelier now and observed this exotic human society with great interest.

Meanwhile, Wang An collected information about the three major sequence paths while using the [Purple Gold Wondrous Qi Refining Profound Constant Secret Record] to collect the imagery and Heaven and Earth Qi within the spiritual atmosphere of the Moon Pool.

After just a few hours of collection, Wang An had gathered dozens of different types of Wondrous Qi near the capital, which even surprised him.

"It seems that in regions close to high-tier existences, the principles and Laws are dense, and there are quite a few types of Wondrous Qi. The efficiency is much faster than refining in the shallow spaces of Sky Star."

Half a year passed, and Wang An and Lu Tianxin traveled through hundreds and thousands of civilizations and races, large and small, in the vicinity of the Moon Pool. In total, they collected seven portions of Wondrous Qi capable of refining Innate Profound Qi related to Soul Spirit and Moon Phase, all of which he sent to his main body.

His main body had now set aside his original Cultivation rhythm of contemplating the profound and refining Laws, focusing instead on refining this Innate profound qi.

He also refined a large batch of mid-tier third-level Puppet Magic Treasures according to his needs, using his thoughts to control their division of labor and collaboration. Finally, Wang An himself coordinated the refining, and the current production rate had reached two paths every seven years.

This provided some relief to the current situation where there was too much Wondrous Qi to refine.

Now, he held no hope that anyone would come to help in the short term. His Disciples had just promoted to the Zifu True Person Realm, and to understand his secret method of collecting and refining Profound Qi, they would need at least mid-tier third-level cultivation, which was still too far off for them.

After searching through all the Wondrous Qi and imagery in the entire Moon Pool, the two finally returned to the capital of the Moon God Theocracy.

They sought out the Moon Apostle, Sophia, again, saying, "Sophia, I hope you can take us up onto Moon Mountain. I believe there may be some resources on the mountain that would be beneficial to our Cultivation."

"I have also learned the detailed information about your path sequence over these past few days. Entering Moon Mountain, besides collecting Materials for crafting potions for divine ascension, should also be of significant use to you."

The Moon Apostle, Sophia, was not at all surprised that this powerful guest knew their secrets, so she introduced it quite calmly.

"That is correct. After entering the mid-to-high sequences, we who follow the Moon path sequences need to replenish the Moon Essence produced on Moon Mountain from time to time to maintain our humanity and avoid contamination."
