The Earth Immortal's Purpose

"The Celestial Phenomenon Power?"

Bai Qiuran lowered his head slightly in thought for a moment, then took out a map of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou from his pocket and unfolded it on the table.

The map marks some locations with Vortex symbols; these are places where the Ancient City once existed.

Without needing a celestial map, Bai Qiuran, relying on his memory and using his True Qi as a brush, directly drew a Star Chart above this map that was incredibly detailed for the current Cultivation World.

Li Jinyao also came up, and the two quickly compared the position of the Vortex on the map with the position of the True Qi Celestial Chart in mid-air.

"No, it's not Celestial Chart."

Li Jinyao was somewhat disappointed.

"It seems I was wrong."

"It's alright, this isn't something you can guess by chance just once or twice."

Bai Qiuran comforted him, "At least you've broadened our thinking. Your idea is correct; the technology of that Ancient City may far exceed our conventional imagination."

"Um..."

At this moment, Tang Ruowei, who had been staring at the map without saying a word, suddenly asked, "Master, do you think it's possible that these locations themselves have some special meaning?"

"Um?"

Bai Qiuran a moment, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"So, you were just saying that this Ancient City possesses technology unknown to the Cultivation World, then I'm thinking, perhaps its Mobile isn't due to insufficient internal energy supply, requiring the aid of the Mobile of Heaven and Earth and earth, but rather because it needs to Mobile to these locations for some other purpose..."

Tang Ruowei said, "For example, Formation..."

Before Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao could finish speaking, the two of them had already begun to use their True Qi True Essence to outline various possible Formation on the map. Their movements were as swift as lightning, but due to their experience and knowledge, they maintained an extraordinary tacit understanding. Their simultaneous actions not only did not disrupt each other's pace, but also filled in the gaps in each other's ideas.

Gradually, a Formation Diagram appeared on the map, covering the entire Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

"This is..."

Li Jinyao's expression turned serious.

"Ah, although I don't know the specific effects, judging from the composition of these Runes and array patterns, this is probably Formation to awaken something."

Bai Qiuran murmured, "Wait for me a moment, I need to check it out."

After saying that, he stood up and ran at a speed that Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei couldn't see, arriving at the location closest to Heaven-Forging Stronghold, which was also the first time the Ancient City had appeared, located within the territory of the Eastern Mausoleum Kingdom.

Like other places, this place left behind a Vortex of Spirit Qi after the Ancient City disappeared.

Bai Qiuran circled the Vortex once, then suddenly pulled an Iron Sword from his Storage Bag and slashed at the air.

This time, he completely withdrew his Sword Qi, and the white light on the blade almost solidified. As the Iron Sword shattered, he also opened a black Rift in the Void.

Through the Rift, Bai Qiuran successfully saw the scene inside. Countless Spirit Qi were pouring in from all around, gathering into a visible mist in the space on the other side of the Spatial Rift.

Someone has quietly created another space in this place, just like carving a hole in a flat piece of paper. The surrounding Spirit Qi flows into this space through tiny Spatial Rift, thus forming Vortex Spirit Qi that never dissipates.

"I see."

Looking at the space, Bai Qiuran muttered to herself, "I understand, everything connects."

He returned to his room in Heaven-Forging Stronghold, where Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei were still waiting. Seeing him return with a thoughtful expression, Tang Ruowei hurriedly asked, "What happened, Master?"

Bai Qiuran snapped out of her daze, reached out and ruffled Tang Ruowei's hair, saying, "Thanks to you, I understand the purpose of that Ancient City."

What exactly happened?

Li Jinyao asked curiously.

"This is just my deduction, but it's probably true."

Bai Qiuran said, "I went to the location where it first appeared in the Ancient City to investigate. The Spirit Qi Vortex there is actually a small space that was created. At the center of the Vortex, some Spatial Rift that are invisible to the naked eye were left. The Spirit Qi continuously gathers into another space through these rifts. I think it should be the same in other places."

"Is this the Formation Eye?"

Li Jinyao glanced at the map.

"I see. Using such a small space as the Formation Eye might actually be able to complete this Formation that covers the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

"Yes, and then there's its purpose in setting up this Formation; what does it want to awaken?"

Bai Qiuran continued, "I remember when Huangfu Feng and I saw that Stone Stele Activation in the Savage Lands, it emitted a dense mass of blue light spots. At the time, I thought those signals were all heading towards this Ancient City, but now that I think about it, if each light spot represents a City similar to this Ancient City, then..."

"An endless stream of Dark Monsters at the Golden Core Stage."

Li Jinyao continued, "We don't yet know the upper limit of the number of monsters they can modify, but even if an Ancient City can only handle the number of monsters shown in the Projection, their manpower would still be enough to overwhelm the combined number of Golden Core Stage Cultivators from the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demonic Sect Alliance. This doesn't even include the stronger monsters that have been modified and are above the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators."

"Excellent, each and every one of you is a man of great ambition."

Bai Qiuran sighed, "Let's find someone. We should discuss our next steps."

Bai Qiuran summoned the representatives of the Righteous Path Alliance and the Demonic Sect Alliance who were stationed in the Heaven-Forging Stronghold once again, and told the various sects about the conjecture that she and Li Jinyao had derived from Tang Ruowei.

After listening to his explanation and deduction, the representatives of the various sects began to urgently contact the sect Sect Master Elder in charge of their respective sects. Elder Xu of the Profound Law Academy hurriedly led his people to deduce the location where the Ancient City would appear next, based on the Formation Diagram created by Bai Qiuran and Li Jinyao.

With the Formation Diagram, the Profound Law Academy's work progress increased significantly. In less than a day, Elder Xu had identified the most likely location for the next Ancient City.

"Now we'll see if the Ancient City can validate our hypothesis."

Elder Xu addressed the representatives present, saying, "But this is only the first step. We still don't know if this Ancient City needs time to prepare from its appearance to its disappearance, which directly relates to the success of our operation. According to the Sword Ancestor and the others' speculation, this Ancient City is self-powered and Mobile between spaces. Currently, our Cultivation World's Spatial Technology is far from mature. Once it leaves and enters another space, it will be very difficult for us to track it down. We need to probe for other data about it."

"This time, leave it to me at m•hetushu. com. com."

Bai Qiuran said, "Since we're trying to force it to escape, I'll get some exercise after all this time and see what other tricks it has up its sleeve."
