Beginning Secluded Cultivation

Southern part of the Moonfall Continent, in the forest outside Moonwhite Shoal.

A sudden gust of wind rustled the layers of tree canopy.

"Click... click..."

"Bang--!"

Several giant trees broke and collapsed, creating a small, inconspicuous clearing in the forest.

Shisui's figure, enveloped in a massive Kagune, appeared.

The Spatial Turbulence caused by breaking through the Heaven-Controlling Realm's interception still left extremely deep slash marks on the Kagune.

These wounds are healing at a visible speed, and the intense pain makes Shisui's spirit exceptionally active.

The pupils of those scarlet Kakugan contracted, their sharp edge remaining undisguised.

Shisui casually wiped away the few drops of crimson blood that had spilled from his mouth, the bloodstains curving upwards at the corners of his lips.

To exchange a minor, insignificant injury for the Soul Energy of a million remnant Human Race.

Make money!

As for offending the Heaven-Controlling Realm?

So what if I offended you?

There are only so many cultivation resources, so everyone is scrambling to get them.

You're bad! Just practice more!

If you can't compete, don't use this resource!

Shisui stood there for a moment, and the few Kagune that had been almost cut off were almost completely restored.

Only the crisscrossing cracks on their surface indicated that they had just been attacked.

Only then Shisui have time to pay attention to the enormous sphere of light within the Alternate Space enveloped by Koukaku.

The light sphere, with a diameter of 100 meters, was shrunk again due to the intense compression it experienced during the initial teleportation.

Now its diameter has decreased to 30 meters, much smaller.

But it still looks like a full moon fallen to earth, its shimmering white halo radiating a comforting energy.

Shisui knew that with his current strength, he couldn't possibly consume so much energy in one go.

Directly swallowing it is undoubtedly the dumbest way to absorb it.

Because digestion involves a significant loss of energy, it's a complete waste of resources.

On the contrary, by peeling back the layers and gradually consuming this energy, we can maximize its conversion into personal growth.

This process is bound to take time.

Therefore, Shisui did not immediately begin to absorb and digest them.

He needs to find a safe place to consolidate his cultivation.

He faced the Heaven-Controlling Realm within an hour of his advancement, which was the root cause of his serious injuries.

If it weren't for the significant leap in his self-healing abilities, he wouldn't dare to be so reckless.

Shisui raised his eyes and looked at the Moonwhite Shoal not far away in the night.

This is a small settlement located between the Beastfolk territory and Mao City.

He had passed through this area before when he traveled to Mao City on a Wealth-Bringing Caravan ship from the Jincai Caravan.

At this moment, the dock on Moonwhite Shoal, which had been damaged by Shisui, has been repaired.

Because Mao City on the southern coast became a battlefield, this place naturally became one of the front-line supply depots.

Ironically, this misfortune turned into a blessing, Moonwhite Shoal actually prospered.

The original glazed tile roof of the dock was demolished, but the moon-white rock floor was preserved, and the scale was expanded.

It's late at night, and there are still a few boats coming and going at the dock.

One can imagine how busy it must be during the day.

Shisui a mere flick of his body, Moonwhite Shoal.

Shisui's perception spread, quickly sweeping across the Moonwhite Shoal below.

First, there's the dock directly below, where half the cargo consists of military supplies, and the second largest quantity is Psychic Energy metals.

Shisui understood perfectly.

It seems that the metal vein that Bo Xiwan had previously hoarded has been discovered.

That's true, he himself is dead, and the Bo Xi Family in the Ringwater Continent is too busy taking care of themselves.

It was a foregone conclusion that the mineral veins here would be exposed.

However, the arrival of the army led to the premature discovery of these mineral veins.

The senses have spread, and there are many more military buildings stationed inside the settlement, but otherwise, there are not many changes.

Shisui only noticed something amiss when his senses invaded what was originally the back mountain of the mining area.

The mineral vein that Bo Xiwan hid at the time was not small.

It's worth noting that he was able to bypass his family and work directly with Citroën Company as Caravan owner.

Therefore, apart from the back mountain that Shisui had entered, there are indeed some scattered mine shafts deeper in the mountains and forests.

But perhaps the largest mine in the back mountain has already been mined large enough.

Or perhaps the military doesn't intend to exploit the resources to the fullest extent.

In short, currently only the main mine shaft inside the back mountain is being mined.

The other smaller mine shafts were sealed off and no one visited them anymore.

It is located near the battlefield, has abundant Psychic Energy reserves, and is hidden from detection.

These mines were undoubtedly the perfect place for Shisui to cultivate in seclusion.

He chose a mine shaft of suitable size, Shisui open a space and crawled inside.

The space near the mine was instantly sealed off, and a light mist began to spread through the mountains and forests.

These fogs mislead intruding creatures, distorting space and causing them to ignore the mine and pass straight through the area.

Until Shisui finished his seclusion, all the outside disturbances were irrelevant to him.

The sunrise cast its rays on the sea, and a small submarine surfaced and slowly approached the shore.

The submarine submerged into the soft white sand of the beach, and the hatch opened after a gentle shake.

After being adrift at sea for a long time, Yan Fei, Lu Qianyu, and their group emerged one after another.

They were on tenterhooks the whole way, so they all looked rather disheveled.

"Finally, we've reached the shore."

Lu Qianyu took a deep breath of fresh air, suppressing the discomfort that was rising within her.

Yan Fei, who was standing to the side, did not respond, but was trying to figure out where they were.

Clearly, they have veered off course.

The lack of energy forced them to shut down all facilities except for the thrusters and air circulation systems.

Naturally, navigation was also eliminated.

They made it safely ashore thanks to Yan Fei's knowledge of the seabed and Lu Qianyu's driving skills.

Seeing Yan Fei's furrowed brows, Lu Qianyu asked softly.

"Is this not Jade Swallow Continent?"

"No."

Yan Fei shook his head, unsure whether to marvel at their good fortune or at the superior quality of the Human Race shipyard.

"We might have strayed further afield to the Lantiao Continent."
