Chapter 463: Chapter 265: Above the Moon Surface, the Three-color Divine Light

Water Blue Star.

Above the moon surface, more and more artificial structures appeared on this silent land.

These big and small square stone houses have attracted the attention of astronomy enthusiasts and experts from the very beginning.

The discussions about the purpose of these houses generated a large number of new topics every day.

Only the Golden Core Spiritual Beasts on the moon surface knew the truth.

Inside these houses, there were no extraordinary devices or instruments.

They were just ordinary storages and protective formations.

As for what they contained, it was a vast amount of Moon Soil.

Not long after starting to explore the moon, the Golden Core Spiritual Beasts discovered that the Moon Soil contained trace amounts of Taiyin Crystal Powder.

This was an excellent artifact refining material.

It could be called a universal enhancer, as a little bit added to many ordinary materials could strengthen them into usable materials.

In those big sects, there were even recipes that relied on this enhancer to raise first and second tier materials to the third tier or even fourth tier.

But as the Immortal Cultivation World was invaded by evil qi, this rare material ceased to be produced.

It became a priceless treasure.

So, in the days to follow, the Golden Core Spiritual Beasts divided into two groups.

One group continued to explore the moon surface.

The other group was digging up a large amount of Moon Soil to bring back to the storages, where they refined Taiyin Crystals out of these raw materials.

It was a tiresome job that bore fruit over time.

Even the most diligent White and Grey, after a month of toil, started to whine through their divine senses when they made contact with Su Ping.

Su Ping now had enough Demon Cores and also expanded his ranks of Golden Core Spiritual Beasts.

So after returning to Water Blue Star again, he had Yellow and Black lead a new batch of Golden Core Spiritual Beasts to replace the hardworking moon surface pioneers.

Meanwhile, besides discovering that the Moon Soil contained Taiyin Crystal Powder,

this month they also found a strand of Innate Tri-color Divine Light on the moon.

This divine light was hidden within a piece of Moon Stone ten kilometers below the moon’s surface.

White and Grey who discovered it didn’t even dare to extract it by themselves and instead built a small storage on the spot to protect it.

After receiving the information from White and Grey, Su Ping recalled the related legacy knowledge and confirmed their guess.

That Moon Stone might indeed contain a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure from the legends: the Tri-color Divine Light!

Unlike the artifact refining material like Taiyin Crystal,

Tri-color Divine Light was a rare Divine Skill material!

It was rumored that the Chi Yuan Immortal Sect’s Great Destruction Divine Light needed a similar Divine Light Seed to initiate.

Furthermore, it could be used as a core material to set up formations and enhance the power of the formations.

Thinking that his own Sun, Moon, and Stars Map was just missing such a divine light,

Su Ping personally went to the storage where the Divine Light was, along with White and Grey, after appearing on the Immortal Boat.

Su Ping walked on the moon surface, feeling the unique sensation it offered.

He felt that as long as one was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they could rely on mana to resist most of the difficulties in the space environment.

If an artifact designed to combat the space environment were to be refined by an Artifact Refiner,

perhaps even a Qi Cultivation Cultivator could move around with ease.

And if the artifact were replaced with a Spiritual Artifact, even ordinary people might be able to live comfortably on the moon surface.

Su Ping entered the storage, and glanced at the square houses made by the Golden Core Spiritual Beasts using their Divine Skills.

Although they lacked architectural beauty, at least they were solid and airtight.

Very suitable for the subsequent people to remodel as needed.

If they were a bit bigger and taller, with sealed passages connecting other square houses,

then the framework for a habitable lunar community would be established!

Hmm… if rented out to the major forces of Water Blue Star,

I wonder how much the monthly rent should be, so as not to exhaust the resources all at once!

Su Ping summoned the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map and called upon the power of the Blood God’s Body.

Then, accompanied by a semi-transparent bloody hand reaching towards the depths beneath the moon,

the item held by the three-color Divine Light was grabbed by the ghostly hand and suddenly pulled into the Array Map.

All at once, the entire moon surface emitted a touch of red light.

This spectacle led many observatories that noticed it to record the event immediately and report it straightaway.

Meanwhile, in the Blood God Secret Realm,

cultivators who were diligently working,

also sensed the unusual environment around them. Unless they were at a critical moment in their cultivation, they temporarily put down their work, stepped outside, and curiously looked up at the sky.

Then, they saw the sky that had always been sky blue,

suddenly display a tri-color rainbow!

“A rainbow? How could there be a rainbow in the sky!?”

“And it’s a rainbow with only three colors!”

The Cultivators raised their heads to observe this strange phenomenon, some couldn’t help but express their doubts.

Others discerned something more and were shocked by the speculation in their hearts!

“This is no ordinary rainbow; it must be the projection of some domineering anomaly onto this secret realm!”

“There aren’t many anomalies as domineering as this… Considering the phenomenon, could it be the Tri-color Divine Light?”

“Where did the Old Ancestor go to bring out such a Divine Object!”

A Third Tier Artifact Refiner exclaimed, revealing his inner conjecture.

Then, the speculation sparked more and more cultivators’ reverent praises for the Old Ancestor’s vast divine skills.

Although most of the cultivators here had no idea what the Tri-color Divine Light was or its use,

they simply knew that an Old Ancestor capable of Tri-color Divine Light was incredibly awesome!

…

In the lunar warehouse, Su Ping gazed at the tri-color rainbow that stretched across the entire Sun, Moon, and Stars Map.

He also noticed the influence within the Blood God Secret Realm, which the sun on the map represented.

After confirming that this influence would not have any adverse chain reactions on the Blood God Secret Realm,

Su Ping then slowly retracted the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map back into his Consciousness Sea to nurture it gradually.

Having added a component comparable to Cold Ice Heavy Water to the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map,

Su Ping felt that his Sun, Moon, and Stars Map could advance directly to the level of a top-grade Spiritual Treasure.

Above the Spiritual Treasure is the Magic Treasure.

Magic Treasures are rare even among the upper echelons of the Immortal Cultivation World.

In today’s Immortal Cultivation World, only items like the Heavenly Sword and Demon Slaying Spear, which barely meet the threshold of Magic Treasures, are available.

However, these Divine Weapons, compared to true Magic Treasures, are like the difference between side sect cultivators and major sect cultivators.

At present, probably only the Great Golden Light Temple and Chi Yuan Immortal Sect still retain true Magic Treasures to bolster the fortune of their sects.

For a Spiritual Treasure to ascend to the level of a Magic Treasure, it must first become spirit-imbued. Fortunately, Su Ping’s Sun, Moon, and Stars Map faced little difficulty at this significant hurdle of spirit imbuing.

His resources also swelled with confidence thanks to the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures discovered on Water Blue Star and the moon.

The only deficiency was his role as a master, where his own Golden Core cultivation became a drag on progress.

Thankfully, with enough Fishing Coins, even his speed of cultivation advancement could be extremely fast.

Thinking of this, Su Ping suddenly considered the possibility of Earth Veins on the moon.

He took out the Abyss Challenge Book.

Then, Su Ping discovered that on this moon beneath his feet, there indeed existed an Earth Vein!

“There are Earth Veins on the moon’s surface; I can open a spacetime rift here to conduct the Abyss Challenges!”

This thought excited Su Ping.

As the challenge difficulty escalated,

the range affected by the Abyss likewise expanded.

Uncontrollable dangers were also increasing, though everything would revert back to normal after a challenge’s completion, the innocent lives lost would not be resurrected.

Moreover, as the difficulty increased to the level of Golden Core, Water Blue Star’s technological forces were starting to fall behind.

Although they were catching up under pressure, they still needed time to accumulate suitable results.

Moreover, compared to military force, they seemed to be more useful in logistics for the time being.

Let alone the various agriculture-related projects at the cooperation sites, which had consistently been scaling up in an organized fashion,

these sites all needed Spirit Stones and arrays, and the speed of their expansion was mainly dependent on how many Spirit Stones Su Ping had in his purse.

Apart from these cooperation agriculture sites, cooperation had now also commenced in mining, petroleum exploitation, and preliminary refining and forging.

With Divine Sense scouting for mining sites, it was far more efficient than geologists and survey teams.

A single Golden Core Spiritual Beast strolling in the mountains for half a day could gather more data than a survey team could in twenty years, ensuring accuracy.

Officials could immediately begin constructing roads and factories, then prepare mining plans after receiving the data.

The cost was that raw materials required running through a formation to cleanse and extract the components useful to the Immortal Cultivation World before trading them with the cooperating Transcendent party.

In addition, a large quantity of basic resources such as steel, silver, brass, and petroleum,

were in new demand for Artifact Refining and Alchemy among the cultivators in the Blood God Secret Realm.

And those large-capacity batteries provided Artifact Refiners with a novel concept,

placing specially made battery packs on the back of large puppets.

Although they appeared more cumbersome, it significantly reduced the manufacturing and operating costs of the puppets.

As for the drawback of insufficient intelligence in large puppets, this was also addressed by incorporating a cabin design after referencing puppets used in combat by Foundation Establishment cultivators,

allowing Qi Cultivation cultivators and even ordinary Martial Artists to enter and control them, compensating for the shortcoming.

Su Ping had been optimistic about this project from the start, increasing his investment in it and providing array technology support, which further lowered the requirements for the operators.

Although higher cultivation was preferable during combat to keep up with the enemy’s response on the battlefield,

if used for production and construction, such considerations weren’t necessary.

Moreover, these puppets didn’t require too many Transcendent materials; the majority could be crafted from steel-silver alloys.

Now that Su Ping had Taiyin Crystal powder as an Enhancing Potion, it granted these common materials performances miraculous to ordinary people.

This also allowed Water Blue Star’s major forces, especially the Eastern Ancient Country, to recoup a large portion of the blood spent pursuing Transcendent materials.

Su Ping noted the idea of conducting Abyss Challenges on the moon.

He then left a new batch of Golden Core Spiritual Beasts to continue their busy work on the lunar surface,

while he, along with White and Grey who had toiled for a month, boarded the Immortal Boat with a vast array of samples collected from the moon to start the return voyage.

As the Immortal Boat commenced its return journey,

it attracted even more public attention than the red light on the moon.

For a time, President Huang’s, Kamo Junichiro’s, and the Bishop of Holy Lord City’s phones were immediately bombarded with calls.
