The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 96: Inventory and Enlightenment
After the quasi-saints left one after another, Shi Mo exchanged a few polite words with the Queen Mother of the West and watched her leave. Then he turned to look at Fuxi.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, I choose to join the Heavenly Court." Facing Shi Mo's gaze, Fuxi hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

However, before he could finish, Shi Mo interrupted him, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, your choice is your business. My feud with the demon race is one thing, and your joining the demon race is another. I just want to ask you one thing. Did you know that Di Jun and the others wanted to kill Hong Yun? Were you involved in this?"

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, I can swear to Heaven that I didn't know about this in advance. Otherwise, I would have stopped them," Fuxi said seriously.

"Okay, then we will still be friends from now on. Well, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Senior Sister Nuwa, I won't greet you two anymore," Shi Mo said, glancing at Nuwa beside him.

Nuwa nodded slightly, and hurriedly pulled Fuxi, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, away.

"Brother Shi Mo, what about Di Jun?" Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but ask after they left.

"Brother Zhenyuan! Don't worry! I haven't forgotten Hongyun's vengeance. It's just that today is not a good time to take action," Shi Mo shook his head and said:

"If we fight Di Jun and the others to death at this moment, let alone whether we can kill Di Jun, even if we can kill them, it will be a fight that will be mutually devastating. At that time, those Quasi-Saints who covet the innate treasure I just obtained, especially my three senior brothers, will inevitably take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits."

"I understand! Brother Shi Mo, it won't be too late for us to take action after you have refined and mastered those two innate treasures, or even achieved sainthood by uniting the three corpses into one," Zhen Yuanzi nodded.

Shi Mo said, "Don't worry! It won't be long! Once the truce of the Lich and the Wizard ends, a war between the two will be inevitable. By then, we will have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of the situation and bring ruin to the Demon Clan!"

"Let's go! First, I'll take you to see the Penglai Fairy Island I just discovered," Shi Mo said, smiling and patting Zhen Yuanzi on the shoulder, and then took him into the Penglai Fairy Island.

"This place is definitely the best paradise in the world. I can't help but want to move my future cultivation cave here."

"What a Penglai Fairy Island! Could this really be the place where Patriarch Yangmei once practiced?"

After entering Penglai Fairy Island, Zhen Yuanzi was also moved by the surging and rich innate spiritual energy here:
"Fortunately, those quasi-saints didn't come in. Otherwise, facing such a blessed place, it would not be so easy for them to leave."

"Compared to the two innate treasures, the attraction of Penglai Fairy Island and the various magical herbs and innate spiritual materials on the island is not that strong," Shi Mo said, shaking his head slightly.

"As for whether Patriarch Yangmei has practiced here, it is unknown. However, the formation and restrictions protecting the island are indeed extraordinary. The mystery of space contained in it is beyond my ability to lay out even with my current understanding of the laws of space."

"Oh? It seems that it is really possible that it was left by Patriarch Yangmei. Brother Shi Mo, after hearing what you said, I must stay and ponder it carefully."

Zhen Yuanzi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the swirling clouds above this world-like fairy island with great interest.

"Brother Zhenyuan, you can just stay here and practice with peace of mind. With the defensive power of this island protection formation, ordinary quasi-saints who don't have a deep understanding of the laws of space can't get in at all. Even if the Three Purities take action, they will have to rely on the power of the innate treasure to break it," Shi Mo nodded and smiled.

Shi Mo accompanied Zhen Yuanzi to stay temporarily on Penglai Fairy Island to comprehend the island protection formation. While they were taking inventory of the various magical herbs and innate spiritual materials on the island, the Taoist Xingyun, the incarnation of Shanshi, had already gone to the underworld with the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus.

In the gloomy netherworld, above the quietly expanding sea of ​​blood, Taoist Red Lotus, the incarnation of the evil corpse, seated cross-legged atop the Thirteenth-Rank Red Lotus of Meritorious Karma Fire, suddenly opened his eyes. Seeing Taoist Xingyun tossing out the Twelfth-Rank Pure World White Lotus, Taoist Red Lotus, with a burning gaze, took it into the Thirteenth-Rank Red Lotus of Meritorious Karma Fire and began to refine it.

Chi Chi. On the thirteenth-grade red lotus of merit and karma, the red lotus karma fire with a faint golden luster began to burn, and the space inside it turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"It's not that easy to refine." After burning it for a while, he found that the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus didn't seem to have changed at all. Taoist Honglian was not anxious, but closed his eyes and practiced with all his heart:
"Take your time! No rush! After I become a saint, it won't be too late to completely refine this twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus and integrate it into the thirteenth-grade Merit Karma Fire Red Lotus. Otherwise, if another innate treasure is born, it will be too stimulating for those quasi-saints. I'm afraid the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa will not be able to hold back and take action."

In the center of Penglai Fairy Island, there is a fairy mountain which is not very tall but occupies a large area.

On the edge of a square-like platform on the mountain, an innate spiritual root grows. On the twisted and bumpy branches, red dates with flowing red light hang.

Shi Mo, who was sitting cross-legged under the jujube tree, could feel the warmth around him. This innate spiritual root, the fire jujube tree, was constantly absorbing the pure and surging power of the underground fire.

Therefore, the fire dates it produces are pure yang spiritual fruits. Although they are not as good as the peaches, they can also prolong life. They belong to the God of Longevity, one of the three stars of Fu, Lu and Shou in Journey to the West.

After all, this fire date is also a mid-grade innate spiritual root!
Although there are no innate spiritual roots of better quality than the fire date tree on the Penglai Fairy Island, there are indeed quite a few innate spiritual roots of medium and low quality.

Buzz. Under the fire date tree, Shi Mo took out the boundary bead, and suddenly an invisible space ripple spread out.

Today's Boundary Bead is an innate treasure. Even if its power is restrained, it is still enough to crush and shatter space easily.

Shi Mo, who was controlling the growth of the Boundary Bead, began to comprehend the more complex innate chaotic divine patterns that had been newly evolved on its surface.

The innate chaos restrictions contained in the innate treasure are mysterious and natural, and contain the most original mysteries of Tao.

Since it is an innate treasure that contains a world, the divine patterns and restrictions on the boundary bead mainly contain the mysteries of space.

By studying the Penglai Fairy Island's protective formation, Shi Mo's understanding of space naturally increased and his progress was rapid.

As his understanding of the laws of space deepened, Shi Mo also gained new insights into the mysteries of the earth vein formation.

After all, formations that seize the power of heaven and earth all involve the mysteries of space.

Especially since Shi Moyao relies on the earth vein formation to absorb energy from the chaos, the principle behind this is far beyond the use of ordinary spatial means.

Zhen Yuanzi did not stay in Penglai Fairy Island for long. After all, his understanding of space was far inferior to Shi Mo's. He only comprehended the island protection formation for thousands of years, but felt that he had bitten off more than he could chew, so he returned to Wanshou Mountain.

For him, the most important thing now is to understand and cut off the three corpses of the self in preparation for achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint.

After Zhen Yuanzi left, Shi Mo quietly left Penglai Island and went deep into the earth vein network, where he delved deeper into the earth vein formation. He used it to absorb the power of chaos and accelerate the evolution of the world within the boundary bead.
