#329 - Key Intelligence
The first step in exploring the Ball of Silence is, of course, to get away from it.
Wang Jixuan's current spiritual sense 'clear' exploration range is thirty-five kilometers. If he uses spiritual sense-based spells, he can explore a blurry picture eighty kilometers away.
Normally, the limit of spiritual sense exploration for an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator is fifty miles.
Wang Jixuan's exploration range also shows how strong his Yuan Soul power accumulation was when he was in the Condensation Realm.
The only pity is…
The Dragon Python Hetero-Soul, which had already become a force, has become a sacrificial offering to quell the last full-scale riot of Blade Beasts.
Otherwise, he would now have the combat power of a double Golden Core.
But it doesn't matter.
Just based on his own strength as a late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator, plus his unique skills in weapons, pills, formations, talismans, spells, and escape techniques, he can already face an SS-level psychic.
Daoist Wang found a hiding place on the edge of the Psychic Capital, as far away from the Ball of Silence as possible, and used a secret spiritual sense technique to slowly spread his spiritual sense like flowing water, thread by thread, and began to invade this place.
He's in.
Because of the secret technique of vision, Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense is now like a moth, flapping its wings and moving forward inside the Ball of Silence.
'The wall of the Ball of Silence is so thick!'
'The nuclear bomb arranged by Old Fu can only destroy the inside… There are also many designs on it to guide the energy to be released vertically upwards…'
'No wonder Old Fu has been reluctant to press the nuclear bomb button. Pressing it would kill the Six Elders, but it wouldn't cause much damage to the Psychic Capital.'
'Not to mention that if the Six Elders were taken into the sub-space by the spiritual practitioners in time, they might not even be killed by the explosion.'
Thinking of this, Wang Jixuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It is nothing short of a miracle that Fu Jian was able to withstand the pressure of the Psychic Capital for fifty years.
He looked around and was soon attracted by the church-style building in the center.
There are three layers of structures surrounding the church building, with lush greenery everywhere.
Wang Jixuan restrained his impulse to enter for sightseeing, carefully searched everywhere, and soon gained something.
In the northwest corner of the Ball of Silence, there is a densely arranged area of glass rooms, each of which is an independent and complete ecosystem, small in size, but inhabited by many creatures.
Many staff members in white coats are active inside, and there are several small laboratories nearby.
'A living gene bank.'
Daoist Wang raised his eyebrows, his spiritual sense cautiously approaching, his body subconsciously holding his breath.
Soon he gained something and discovered traces of Biyou Grass.
After searching carefully for another half an hour, he found Tianhe Dirui Vine in another glass room.
Originally, Wang Jixuan had no 'extravagant hope' for the age of these herbs. As long as he could find a living body and take a section away, he could go to the 'Treant Ancestor' to continuously cultivate it.
But here, several Tianhe Dirui Vines have grown to the thickness of a wrist, which can be equivalent to a hundred-year-old spirit herb!
How wonderful!
However, Wang Jixuan searched carefully for the third spirit medicine, Golden Glow Fruit, but couldn't find any specific traces.
Not daring to explore for too long, Wang Jixuan quickly withdrew his spiritual sense and pondered carefully underground.
This exploration also gave him confidence.
— The three spiritual practitioners did not notice his small actions.
Logically speaking, the three are indispensable to make pills, so there is no need to continue taking risks.
But what if he could get the Golden Glow Fruit elsewhere?
The Daoist thought about it and decided to let Aunt Dragonfly try. If he could get two kinds of herbs through Aunt Dragonfly's connections, that would be great.
Break in and rob?
That's just losing your mind.
"Peony, send a message to Aunt Dragonfly to see if she can get some living samples of these two plants from those glass rooms…"
Peony quickly began to operate.
Wang Jixuan was not in a hurry, found a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy underground, and put himself into a shallow meditation.
Two days later.
Aunt Dragonfly sent an invitation to meet. Wang Jixuan took Peony back to the underground of the Psychic Capital and entered Aunt Dragonfly's secret room on the second floor.
…
"Here, this can survive inside for three months."
Aunt Dragonfly placed a cylindrical object similar to a crystal ball in front of Wang Jixuan.
Inside was a small emerald green grass with leaves similar to a four-leaf clover at the tip and a serrated structure on the stem.
Biyou Grass was easily obtained!
"Thanks," Wang Jixuan put down two pills and handed the small grass to Peony.
Peony did not shy away and began to check and scan for extra devices in front of Aunt Dragonfly.
Aunt Dragonfly didn't mind this kind of inspection and handed Wang Jixuan a bottle of ice beer.
She had prepared some side dishes in advance to entertain her big client.
"There is also progress on that vine."
Aunt Dragonfly said simply:
"In order to reduce the number of people who know, I used the name of a powerful family in the D2 Comprehensive War Zone through second-hand dealers who resell various precious materials to find some rare animals and plants."
"The first batch of twelve samples was to cover up this small grass."
"A very simple little trick."
She lit a thin cigarette for herself.
Wang Jixuan noticed that Auntie's makeup was gorgeous and natural today, and the tights on her body wrapped her fit and sexy figure, which was completely different from when they first met.
Wang Jixuan asked, "How long will it take for that vine?"
"About a week," Aunt Dragonfly shook the cigarette ash, "You said half a month, I arranged it according to this… Those plants were indeed sent to D2, so you don't have to worry about the follow-up."
Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "Then I will continue to wait for your good news."
"There is no trace of the third herb," Aunt Dragonfly said regretfully, "Otherwise, I would be able to earn a little more favor from you."
"You have helped me a lot now."
"Actually, it's far less than what you gave me in the beginning."
Aunt Dragonfly shrugged her shoulders, then suddenly changed the subject:
"I have something I want to discuss with you, which is a personal request from my side."
Aunt Dragonfly pointed at Peony.
Peony chuckled, "I can talk about anything with the chief."
"Yes," Wang Jixuan also said, "Almost all the information I communicate with the outside world is handled by Peony alone, so there is no need to avoid her."
Aunt Dragonfly blinked her eyes: "That is to say, Peony knows all your secrets?"
"Well, only a small part of that," Peony was a little lost, "A very small part."
The Daoist smiled awkwardly: "What do you need my help with? Just say it."
"I want to seize power."
Aunt Dragonfly said these four words calmly.
Wang Jixuan and Peony leaned back at the same time.
"What exactly?" Peony asked.
"Is there any way to make my strength go further?"
Aunt Dragonfly seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.
"The weakness of the Natural Faction makes me angry. My teachers are no longer considering issues from the standpoint of human beings. They have been brainwashed by the spiritual practitioners."
"After returning to the Psychic Capital, I have felt powerless more than once, a kind of powerlessness that is slowly sinking to the bottom of the deep sea."
"I can only tell myself not to care about them and do my own thing."
"As you said, being clear conscience is enough."
"But in fact, after seeing the human warriors who fought and struggled on the front lines, and then looking at these people, I always feel that they are like carrion-eating insects, leeches sucking blood on the skin… Then I might as well stand up and change them!"
Wang Jixuan suddenly smiled: "I advise you to give up this idea."
"Why?"
"Because the source of power determines the position of all psychics."
Wang Jixuan shrugged his shoulders:
"As long as the spiritual practitioners exist for one day, the psychics can only be their slaves."
"My suggestion is, don't think about these things anymore."
"You have already made a lot of contributions. If it weren't for your help, the human military would have a harder time."
Aunt Dragonfly sighed dejectedly and smiled bitterly: "I really don't want to continue living this kind of life. I feel like I will be driven crazy sooner or later."
"I think you can listen to Xiaohua Ting's music and then have a good sleep."
Wang Jixuan got up to leave and took Peony back with him:
"I can't stay for long, you still have to be careful in your actions."

Aunt Dragonfly hesitated to speak, but just asked, "Would you like another drink?"
"What do you want to say?"
What do you want to say?
Just desire.
Aunt Dragonfly really wanted to try a stimulating one-night stand, but when the words came to her lips, she was actually embarrassed, and her mind flashed and said:
"A piece of information, an uncertain piece of information."
Aunt Dragonfly hugged her arms:
"I'm afraid of misleading you, so I'm hesitating whether to tell you."
Peony, who saw through the psychological activities of a certain middle-aged female psychic, calmly pushed the non-existent glasses on the bridge of her nose, and did not expose it.
Wang Jixuan asked naively: "What information? Just tell me. Don't worry, even if you say that the Psychic Capital will launch a full-scale attack on D5 immediately, I won't have the slightest intention to stop it."
"That's good."
Aunt Dragonfly responded a little perfunctorily and shared a piece of information that she didn't think was important to Wang Jixuan.
…
In the icy and snowy world, Wang Jixuan used Water Escape and slid quickly under the thick ice.
He had left the Psychic Capital and was rushing straight north.
The information given by Aunt Dragonfly really aroused his interest.
'There is a special laboratory near the North Pole that has existed for more than sixty years.'
'It has always been in a top-secret state, and is in charge of two SS-level psychics other than the Six Elders. Those two powerful psychics usually do not show up in the Psychic Capital, and even my teachers are tight-lipped about their identities.'
'But the resources there are transported from the Psychic Capital, so I got the account of the materials needed there.'
‘Based on my deduction, there are thousands of people stationed there year-round, with hundreds of esper users. A large number of easily损器械 parts are continuously being sent over, which makes me suspect that there might be a huge... drilling rig there.’
‘They don't know what they're drilling for. If they haven't stopped for sixty years and are using the technology of spirit cultivators, they might be close to drilling through the Earth.’
‘I noticed this information a few months ago and wanted to sell it to the human military, but no one has asked about this aspect.’
The information from Aunt Dragonfly might be crucial.
She doesn't know what's underground, but Wang Jixuan knows everything.
The remains of that ancient civilization are hidden in the deepest underground!
Esper Number Six once said that he had found a way to enter the ruins, which might refer to this method... physically drilling down.
Doubts arise.
With humanity's current technology, dense rock layers are not easy to break through, and the high temperatures underground should also be difficult to overcome continuously. Considering the Earth's radius of several thousand kilometers, it is unlikely that they can really get close to that huge spiritual energy mass surrounding the Earth's core by drilling.
In short, let's get closer and investigate.
Anyway, I have spiritual sense, so it's good to not get too close easily.
"Commander," Mudan asked, "Should we share the information with the Commander-in-Chief first?"
"Yes, share it. You don't need to ask me about such requests in the future."
"Yes."
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense had already captured a cluster of igloos, about the size of a thousand-person town, with a large number of esper users patrolling.
He should have found the right place.
Below the igloo cluster, in the dark seawater, several huge pipes extended downwards, connecting to an arched building built on the seabed.
Wang Jixuan did not rashly approach. He activated his spiritual sense secret technique and carefully investigated from a distance.
This building has been around for decades, divided into three layers inside and out. The outer circle has a diameter of over two hundred meters, and the inner circle has a diameter of only one hundred forty to fifty meters.
Looking through the walls, there are a large number of scaffolds inside. Directly below the scaffolds, a huge pit, flickering with a faint light, has collapsed downwards for about several hundred meters.
Good heavens, they are really drilling!
However, unlike the technological drilling of human civilization, this place is full of spiritual energy technology.
There is a large area of spiritual energy runes at the bottom of the pit, which is the source of those faint lights.
Wang Jixuan sensed carefully and soon realized that there were Qiankun fluctuations below...
Damn it, could it be that they really found it?
Since this place has existed for over sixty years, Wang Jixuan doesn't need to be impatient.
He dispelled the water escape technique to save mana, drilled into the ice above, and began to sit cross-legged near the drilling rig in a swaggering manner, extending his spiritual sense to carefully observe the situation below.
Daoist Wang quickly discovered clues.
According to what Wang Jixuan is currently sensing, the Earth's core is surrounded by that huge spiritual energy mass, and the spiritual energy mass continuously extends outward, transmitting and回收spiritual energy.
This forms a large cycle of spiritual energy from the shallow strata to the Earth's core.
This huge pit 'in front of him' is a node in the upper and lower spiritual energy channels.
From here, it is really possible to find a path to enter the Earth's core spiritual energy mass...
Daoist Wang did not act rashly and quietly waited.
The spiritual energy concentration here is twice the average spiritual energy concentration on the surface, although it is far from being comparable to that inside the Pillar Blade Beast, it is still quite suitable for cultivation.
— The Pillar Blade Beast's body is a cultivation treasure land at the level of a blessed cave!
On the first day and the second day, monotonous routines were repeated here.
People kept transporting equipment into the huge pit, and the runes at the bottom of the pit flickered slightly, and accompanied by Qiankun fluctuations, the equipment would disappear.
Finally, after Wang Jixuan waited for fifty-four hours, two middle-aged men and women walked side by side on a scaffold, chatting about some unimportant topics.
These are two SS-level esper users, and the amount of spiritual energy in their bodies is terrifying, stronger than the old Feng in Wang Jixuan's impression.
They suddenly talked about:
"...The harvest in the past year has been greater than in the past sixty years."
"Yes, I don't know why, but that relic seems to have completely awakened. The spiritual energy channels are unusually active. In at most two or three months, we will be able to touch the periphery of that place."
"How will the three adults reward us?"
"Reward? Don't think too much about it. It would be a blessing if they could transfer us to a place where people can live."
"Do you want to ruin strong men?"
"Can I ruin them as badly as you? Now, I no longer have worldly desires and just want to witness the revival of a great civilization."
"Forget it, the three adults won't be watching us all the time. Your flattery is useless..."
The two strolled for more than an hour, took the elevator down to the bottom of the pit, and disappeared with the faint light.
Daoist Wang touched his chin and fell into deep thought while sitting in the ice.
Under the current smooth cultivation situation, he doesn't actually want to create extra problems.
However, if the Three Spiritual Cultivators of the Wings of Light find this ancient civilization first, it might be a little bad.
He doesn't want to face the complete spiritual cultivators too early.
It seems that he must negotiate with allies.
