Chapter 1159: Chapter 6: The Mutation of the Candle Light Divine Wood (3/3)

As long as there is a sufficiently powerful spirit land or blessed land, or if a Heaven and Earth spirit or Cave Heaven spirit is cultivated, the Lord of Cave Heaven can borrow or even forcibly command and requisition their divine skills.

Moreover, the Cave Heaven technique can be used to imprison powerful enemies and demon leaders, refining their power with the Cave Heaven Master’s own power or the Devouring Evil and Returning to Truth technique.

Right now, Little Qi is in the growth phase and cannot expend much energy. Unless it’s a life-or-death crisis, An Jing would not rashly use its power to fight.

At this moment, inside An Jing’s inner Cave Heaven, beneath that Ex Nihilo Divine Wood, Little Qi is still curled up like an egg, peacefully asleep in its nest, looking more relaxed and breathing more smoothly.

However, the problem still exists.

“My Cave Heaven, at the root of it, is not a Great Realm.”

An Jing gazed at the slumbering Little Qi, feeling somewhat troubled: “Little Qi’s advancement will surely need to involve Heaven and Earth Power and guide Great Daoist Principles to succeed — Though I can improve Little Qi’s condition, this aspect is something I can’t help with.”

“Even if Little Qi advances here with me, it will certainly not be complete, and that wouldn’t be good.”

Ultimately, the Cave Heaven cannot compare to a complete Great Heaven and Earth, which indeed presents a problem that remains to be solved.

An Jing thought, perhaps he could take Little Qi to other worlds? But there’s no guarantee that another world would support a Heaven and Earth spirit that originates from elsewhere.

Even if willing, who knows if another world also has a Heaven and Earth spirit capable of suppressing Little Qi?

This is clearly an unforeseeable problem.

For now, choosing not to dwell on these things, An Jing turned towards An Qianshan and said, “Dad, Little Qi’s situation is quite complicated now. Staying here, it’s impossible to continue growing. I’m taking it around, hopefully finding opportunities for it to advance further.”

“That would be good…”

An Qianshan naturally trusts his son. He sighed deeply: “It must be hard on you; if you’re not too busy, stay and have a meal.”

“I’m not too busy, but most tasks are already handled by others.”

An Jing chuckled: “I haven’t had your cooking for quite some time now.”

“I can help too!” Gu Yeqi, standing by, raised her hand eagerly. An Jing didn’t object: “Looks like I’m in for a treat today.”

With the Bright Mirror Sect having gained control of North Heaven Cave Heaven, its foundation is now deeper, comparable to a normal Upper Gate, but in reality, much of it can only be leveraged in desperate situations, and the regularly usable martial force hasn’t increased by much.

The two ancestors, Cheng Guang and Chenyinzi, who have become Cave Heaven spirits, are always in the Cave Heaven and rarely in the sect unless major issues arise, with the regular presence of pure yang battle power being limited to Xiyi Heavenly Monarch and Candle Dragon Battle Armor.

In Dust Li, everything was recovering, including the Bright Mirror Sect, and even An Jing, the acting sect master, often had to go out and roam.

He personally didn’t mind, as An Jing’s Cave Heaven technique had already set on the right course. What he needed now was to comprehend the principles of Heaven and Earth everywhere, to speed up linking his Cave Heaven with the Huai Xu Realm, and to accelerate the activation of various divine skills.

Gu Yeqi accompanying An Jing was precisely because, as a companion star, her ‘Heaven and Earth Skills’ could swiftly connect An Jing’s Cave Heaven with Huai Xu Heaven and Earth, enabling him to exert his power quickly.

An Jing initially wanted to help prepare ingredients with his dad and Gu Yeqi but was persuaded by the two to let himself be leisurely catered to.

“Honestly, your cooking might not be better than mine.”

An Jing was happy with leisure, continuing to contemplate the universe, searching for the frequency of resonance between his Cave Heaven and the Great Heaven and Earth, not wasting a moment.

All this, in preparation for the soon-to-be [Journey to Shenjing].

Upon returning to Embracing the Void, An Jing immediately received an official decree from Da Chen, inviting him to its capital, Shenjing.

Just as everyone guessed, An Jing did not have any intention to avoid it; he readily accepted and began preparations for the journey to Shenjing.

“What is there to worry about?”

Regarding everyone’s concerns, An Jing shook his head slightly: “This is clearly Da Chen inviting the major Upper Gates of North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent to jointly prepare for a possible invasion from Shangxuan Sect. In other words, the leaders or ancestors of the Upper Gates will all be there, and Elder Xi Yi and Haotian Mirror Ancestor will certainly go.”

“I am not alone; I have my cards to play. Even if it’s heavily guarded, I can escape, let alone there being no reason for Da Chen to trouble me. Even if there are ill-intentioned individuals, ultimately, it must be faced; there’s no point in fleeing.”

An Jing has always been curious about Shenjing, the capital of North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent’s Heavenly Ancestor, although he is from Da Chen, he was essentially seen by the core circles as a northern rural barbarian.

An Jing had never seen the prosperity and grandeur of the Heavenly Ancestor’s core area nor had he seen what the current capital of Da Chen looks like in these times.

He desires to understand this world, so he must go and see it with his own eyes.

Of course, before going, An Jing will make all preparations.

Not talking about the possible accompanying ancestors, An Jing himself needs to gradually perfect his Cave Heaven technique, further enhancing his strength.

Right now, An Jing senses a faint premonition in his heart.

That is, Little Qi’s transformation might be crucial for his journey to Shenjing.

“The envoy of the Heavenly Dao to rebuild the Netherworld, Little Qi… shows signs of the Divine Wood, a hint of transformation.”

Slightly opening his eyes, An Jing looked south, murmuring: “And beneath Shenjing, the Undying Divine Tree… also has elements related to the Netherworld, Divine Wood.”

With An Jing’s intuition, he could confirm that there was no way the two were unrelated.

Perhaps there is a mysterious connection in the unseen, or everything in the world is connected by cause and effect.

At this moment, An Jing received a communication from a familiar but rarely contacted person.

His eyes slightly lowered, An Jing raised his eyebrows: “Gu Yunzhi… Yeqi’s grandfather?”

“Coming to contact me now, what matter could it be?”

After a brief thought, An Jing believed the other might want to convey matters related to Shenjing, so he answered the communication: “General Gu, what’s the meaning?”

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunzhi’s reply was beyond An Jing’s expectations.

[An Sect Master, let’s cut to the chase]

On the other end of the communication spiritual artifact, Gu Yunzhi’s voice was very indistinct, clearly indicating a poor signal. His tone was urgent, mingling with a complex emotion of excitement and incredulity: [Though I have no idea what you’ve done, just moments ago, not long ago, an anomaly occurred in the direction of Shenjing!]

[That Divine Wood—The Immortal Candle Shining Immortal Tree suddenly bloomed!]

[Although I know on the surface, there’s no connection… but, indeed, An Sect Master, you know something, don’t you?!]
