Chapter 215: Chapter 196: Unexpected Harvest

The thought of the high-quality Yin Sha Qi below filled Jeming with energy.

His figure soared into the sky again, flying directly to an altitude of several hundred meters.

Looking down at the ruins of the city that he had leveled to the ground, the “Great Light Appearance” behind him once again expanded in this area!

This time, his target was no longer clearing Yetis but… excavation.

“Maximum power output! Focus on one point, blast it open for me!”

With Jeming’s command, thousands of Talisman Witchcraft behind him instantly adjusted their angles, all targeting the area below where Yin Sha Qi was most concentrated.

Jeming even used the move he had employed against the Third Level Magma Giant, using the Five Elements Rainbow Transformation Mirror for assistance, converging all attacks to a single point.

Thousands of Talisman Witchcraft erupted simultaneously, no longer dispersing their attacks but focusing on one point, forming massive energy beams capable of destroying mountains, striking the frozen earth below like divine punishment descended from the heavens!

Compared to any previous attempt, the destructive beam was more concentrated and more robust, carrying a terrifying power capable of penetrating mountains, furiously bombarding the ruins below.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The city trembled, no, the entire icy pit, and even the distant ice plain, shook violently under Jeming’s terrifying saturation bombing!

Violent energy ripped through the hard permafrost and bedrock at light speed, massive chasms opened in the glaciers, and the thick ice layers vaporized instantly under the high-temperature impact, emitting a deafening roar.

Countless shattered rocks and ice fragments were thrown hundreds of meters into the air, scattering like torrential rain.

The earth howled as the glacier was forcefully blasted into a bottomless crevasse.

Jeming hovered in the air, his gaze calm.

His “Great Light Appearance” operated at full power, and each Energy Bullet hit the designated area with precision, without a trace of waste.

As the bombardment continued, a massive crater with a diameter of several hundred meters was visibly extending downward at an astonishing speed!

The resulting shockwave nearly vacuumed the surrounding air, forming a massive energy vortex.

He bombarded continuously for nearly ten minutes, consuming more than half of the Metal Disc’s stored Energy.

When Jeming finally felt that the rock layer below was no longer as solid, and the energy beam encountered a resistance akin to a “cavity,” he slowly retracted the fire flames of the “Great Light Appearance.”

A bottomless, irregularly cylindrical pit was now presented before him, its depth immeasurable, obscured by overturned rubble and pervasive dust.

Jeming took a deep breath, first turning off the Magic Network Terminal on his body, then storing it in his internal space, ensuring this device could not perceive anything from the outside world.

Having done all this, he raised his hands, fingers nimbly manipulating the spell seal, silently reciting a spell.

The Pure True Essence at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage was mobilized in vast amounts, rushing into the spell continuously, making each hand seal emit a faint white light.

This True Essence finally condensed into a profound “Evil Attraction” talisman at his fingertips, slowly forming.

“Go!”

With a light command, Jeming sharply shot the talisman infused with True Essence into the deep pit!

The talisman trailed a white track, disappearing in a flash, quickly plunging into the cold and deep darkness.

This spell is a type of Sorcery of Soul-Collecting, specifically used to handle ’Basic Conceptual Materials’ like Yin Sha Qi.

The “Basic” in this name isn’t about level but “sequence,” corresponding to “Secondary Conceptual Materials.”

If Spiritual Power is “electricity,” then Secondary Conceptual Materials like Refined Gold, Red Dust Qi, and Hundred Flowers Dew are the “light” or “mechanical energy” produced by “electricity.”

The production process of these Secondary Conceptual Materials must involve Spiritual Qi, which, although it can increase resource variety to some extent, cannot exist without Spiritual Qi.

In contrast, “Basic Conceptual Materials” are more like coal and solar energy.

These things are not essentially Spiritual Qi but can be transformed into Spiritual Qi through various Dharma Gates.

These concept materials were originally created to solve the problem of Spiritual Qi shortages, so their main feature is self-generation, creation from nothing.

The generation of these materials doesn’t necessarily require the participation of Spiritual Qi, as long as there is a “catalyst.”

For example, this Yin Sha Qi, as long as various conceptual conditions are met, normally a cultivator only needs to send a strand of similar Yin Sha Qi as a catalyst for the remaining suitable conditions Yin Sha Qi to automatically condense.

Of course, if there is no catalyst, one can “edit” the Spiritual Qi into the needed catalyst—this is what’s known as the Evil Attraction spell.

In the deep pit, there was a moment of dead silence…

Then, a chilling, cold aura suddenly burst forth from the bottomless pit path!

HISS!!!

An incredibly dense Yin Sha Qi, almost materializing, like a black flood breaching a dam, emerged with a biting chill and an indescribable foul odor, gushing up from the bottom of the pit like a fountain!

Their speed was incredibly fast, instantly filling the entire gigantic pit and even rushing out of the pit, forming a blanket of gray mist over the surrounding ice field.

Jeming couldn’t care about the emptiness and slight dizziness from having used up more than half of his True Essence at once.

A gleam of joy burst from his eyes, and he immediately summoned the “Soul-Collecting Gourd,” a magical treasure specially designed to collect Yin Sha Qi, from his inner space.

With his fingers forming a Spell Seal, he inverted the gourd and placed it upright over the mouth of the hole.

The mouth of the gourd seemed to become a bottomless black hole, emitting a “buzzing” attraction, collecting all the surging Yin Sha Qi without missing a thread.

At the beginning of the collection, seeing the storage of the Soul-Collecting Gourd increase almost visibly, Jeming’s heart was filled with delight.

He knew he had struck gold!

As time went on, he became more and more excited, even ecstatically so, because the absorption speed of the Soul-Collecting Gourd showed almost no sign of slowing!

But when he realized that the Yin Sha Qi continued to surge continuously from the hole and reached a theoretically unimaginable quantity within a few minutes, Jeming’s face shifted from ecstatic joy to horror!

He suddenly discovered that as time went by, the quantity of Yin Sha Qi not only didn’t decrease in the slightest, but with a certain low rumble from deep underground, the speed at which it surged increased, becoming even more overwhelming!

Moreover, what really sent shivers down his spine was the fact that the quality of these Yin Sha Qi was increasing at an alarming speed!

They gradually transformed from an obscure gray to a bottomless pure black, as if it had condensed all the world’s resentment and death.

In the end, they even approached a profound black, indicating their quality had reached the peak!

The Soul-Collecting Gourd, which theoretically had almost no issue with capacity, was now emitting a strained hum, with the talismans on its surface showing signs of overloading!

“Full… Full?!” Jeming gasped, incredulous.

According to the information from the Great Dao Book Pavilion, this Soul-Collecting Gourd should be capable of collecting the total amount of Sha Qi generated by the complete collapse of a continental ecosystem!

He had no choice but to hastily retrieve raw materials from his internal space, and with another hand, he hurriedly crafted another temporary Soul-Collecting Gourd!

Though this temporary gourd was crude, it could still temporarily receive the continuously emerging Sha Qi.

Yet, even with the two gourds and his own “Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier” instinctively devouring the surrounding Yin Sha Qi, the amount rushing out showed no sign of diminishing!

“This volume is already beyond any ancient battlefield issue now…” Data from the Wizard Legion archives flashed through Jeming’s mind swiftly.

Based on the information the wizards had gathered through investigations and archaeological efforts in recent years, the known history of the Magma Giants and Yeti races recorded is only a little over ten thousand years!

This level of Yin Sha Qi, even if all ancient battlefields on the Ice and Flame Plane were concentrated in this one area, shouldn’t create such terrifying results!

“So! There must be an even bigger problem underneath!” An uncontrollable curiosity surged within Jeming!

He looked at the two Soul-Collecting Gourds in his hands, their capacity once again nearing their limits, and the still surging profound black Sha Qi.

Jeming was left with no choice but to muster the remaining True Essence and cast a Sealing Spell.

Since he couldn’t collect it all, he would have to temporarily seal the source.

If this thing spread, not to mention the Yeti side, even the wizards’ frontier outposts would be affected.

He hadn’t hidden his movements when he came; if something went wrong and someone came to investigate, that would be a big problem!

Fortunately, Yin Sha Qi in itself was quite “inert.”

Although terrifying when it erupts, without someone driving it, its speed of spreading and diffusing is relatively slow.

Therefore, an ordinary Sealing Spell was enough to seal it.

As the Talismanic Seal Restriction lit up around the mouth of the hole, the surging Yin Sha Qi was finally suppressed, temporarily halting its eruption, leaving only faint wisping dissipations.

This level of dispersion was entirely acceptable, as the natural ecosystem could mitigate it before it caused greater negative impact.

Yet, it’s not sustainable to keep it sealed this way; the source must be resolved.

Jeming did not rashly venture deeper; instead, he sat cross-legged to adjust his Qi, allowing himself to fully recover from the somewhat depleted state caused by the heavy consumption of True Essence.

He took some Magic Potion to replenish the Spiritual Power within.

Afterward, his gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, he leaped into the bottomless, chilling giant pit!

Jeming’s intuition told him that beneath lay a secret vast enough to shake the entire Plane!

As soon as he entered the deep pit, the rich Yin Sha Qi clung to him like relentless ghosts.

With the protection of “Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier,” Jeming wasn’t particularly worried about these scattered Yin Sha Qi causing any substantial harm to him.

In fact, from a certain perspective, these scattered high-quality Yin Sha Qi would only serve as the best nourishment for the “Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier,” enriching its core Gang Sha, thereby further enhancing its defensive capabilities.

(More to come, another Chapter is on the way.)
