Standing at the edge of the Baleful Mist, Zhou Ling raised his brows. As his two talents flickered continuously, streams of information about the mist surfaced in his mind.
With the Bright Sun Burning Heaven Flame, he could easily disperse this Baleful Mist.
But it would not be so easy for others.
This was undoubtedly an enormous advantage for him.
However, he was not so shortsighted.
Even if he ultimately won this trial, it would still only be a trial.
Though it would greatly help his future prospects in the Dao Alliance.
Even if he successfully established an immortal city at this outpost, so long as the surrounding Baleful Mist was not completely removed,
Human cultivators would have to invest vast resources to maintain the immortal city in the future.
Resources were not too much of a problem. After all, developing this Wild Star would bring sufficient returns.
But cultivator casualties were not something to be taken lightly.
Not to mention anything else—this outpost alone had suffered over a hundred casualties while developing an area barely over a hundred zhang across.
The other outposts could only be imagined.
How many cultivators' lives would the establishment of one immortal city cost?
Zhou Ling also knew that casualties were unavoidable in a war to develop star domains.
Some matters were beyond his control.
But since he had encountered this now,
he naturally had to do everything he could to reduce the casualties among human cultivators.
He also hoped that with [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis], he could find a better method to remove the Baleful Mist.
That way, he could greatly reduce the threat posed by the Golden-Eyed Spirit Race and lessen the casualties among human cultivators.
Then, Zhou Ling's gaze swept across the Magic Array Deputy Commander Gu had set up.
