Chapter 399: First Exploration of Tianchi

When Meng Zhou understood where the problem was, the solution to the problem emerged in his mind.

The solution to the first problem is very simple.

Since we need to ensure that the upgrade of the evil vein is "sure", and the upgrade cannot fail due to "insufficient energy supply", more third-level evil veins should be included in this system.

Moreover, because the positioning of other third-level evil veins is "fueling bottles", it is much easier to deal with them than the current third-level evil vein.

At the moment when thinking of this, Meng Zhou even had a more specific solution in his mind.

That is to choose four nearest third-level evil veins in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast to act as "fueling bottles". When the third-level evil vein under him located in the center of the furnace wasteland begins to upgrade, the other four third-level evil veins will enter the "fueling" mode at the same time.

With such sufficient margin, it is impossible to fail to upgrade due to "insufficient energy supply".

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou frowned slightly.

Although the solution to the problem has been clarified, another problem has also emerged.

Time has become insufficient again.

There are still about ten days before returning.

If I follow the original plan, I will not only successfully complete all the preparations within the specified time, but also earn ten days of margin.

But now, if I want to include the other four third-level evil veins in the upgrade plan, even if each of the other four third-level evil veins is easier to deal with than the current one, there are many of them.

Even if each third-level evil vein can be dealt with within ten days, it will take forty days for the four together.

The remaining ten days are not enough anyway.

"It seems that this furnace refining wasteland has to be done again." Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.

Correspondingly, other ideas also emerged in Meng Zhou's mind.

"If so, it will take four or five years to complete all the preparations, and the time will be even tighter."

"Next time, we have to go all out."

There is a very simple way to improve the efficiency of action, that is to increase the number of Tai Sui bodies.

In this way, the efficiency of arranging "visual anchor points" can be accelerated, and the speed of "transparent round mirror" lighting up the new world will be faster.

After that, assisting oneself to "fine-tune and reshape" the selected third-level evil veins, and incorporating more third-level evil veins into the system, the speed will also be improved.

Before that, Meng Zhou had more masterless divine wills in his hands, but he only consumed 100 masterless divine wills and arranged 50 third-level middle-grade Tai Sui bodies to go out.

First, considering that the overall framework of the entire plan has been determined, and the return time is basically clear, it doesn't matter if the speed is faster or slower.

Too fast efficiency and too tight arrangement may make mistakes in a hurry, and it will also affect his practice of "Wanxiangzhu" in his busy schedule.

Another thing is that he doesn't want to arrange all the masterless divine wills, and wants to have a batch of "reserve mobile forces" that can be called at any time.

But now, in order for the entire plan to be implemented on time, these concerns can only be temporarily put aside.

In any case, this first problem has been solved after all.

As for the second omission, it is very simple to solve.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's mind probed into the spirit gourd space.

One area was filled with milky white balls.

These balls were nothing else but the byproducts of Meng Zhou's practice of "Wanxiangzhu" every time.

—— Although these balls cannot be truly "Wanxiang" due to the limitation of materials, they are more than enough to be used as the core of the array.

The most important and difficult point of the whole plan is that it must be started on time at a precise and predetermined time to give the whole system the "initial power" to go from zero to one.

It is like the first flame that ignites the prairie fire and lights up the first star of billions of stars in the night sky.

Under normal circumstances, this is the most difficult part of the whole plan.

But the existence of these "Wanxiangzhu" directly eliminates this difficulty.

These milky white balls are like the big and small kings in the game of cards. They are "universal cards" that can change into any shape and any appearance according to the wishes and needs of the card player.

To speed up the upgrade process, the method is very simple.

Just increase the number of "flames".

If there is only one "flame" at the beginning, it will naturally take a long time to form a prairie fire.

But what if the initial "flame" has ten, a hundred or even more strands, and is evenly scattered over the entire "field"?

Then the time to finally form a prairie fire will inevitably be shortened sharply.

The only price is that the "Wanxiang Pearl" will be consumed more.

And this price, Meng Zhou can easily bear.

Since the entry of "Wanxiang Pearl", the milky white spheres as "by-products" have accumulated 3,376.

And he only needs to have a little leisure time to continue practicing "Wanxiang Pearl", and this number will continue to increase.

Meng Zhou calculated for a while in his mind, and suddenly stretched out his hand and waved, and two hundred milky white spheres disappeared from the spirit gourd space. Under his precise "throwing" and the "cooperation" of the third-level evil vein under his body, they were scattered into the two hundred "acupoints" of the third-level evil vein under his body.

The two hundred "acupoints" are evenly scattered within the boundary of more than 40,000 miles of the third-level evil vein under his body.

The moment these milky white spheres merged into these "acupoints", they quickly became invisible and merged with the surrounding evil spirits and spiritual energy without any gaps.

And with the integration of these two hundred milky white spheres, in Meng Zhou's "interpretation world", the corresponding two hundred points in the third-level evil vein under his body were specially marked, and continued to flash red and green light.

"This should be enough."

Meng Zhou thought so in his heart. In his original plan, the number of milky white spheres invested in this third-level evil vein would not exceed ten.

Now, it's a super doubling.

When they exploded at the same time, Meng Zhou believed that even if the Yuanying of Xingxiu Palace happened to be in the refining furnace wasteland at that time, they would definitely not have time to extinguish this "flame", and burning into a "prairie fire" was an inevitable outcome.

…

After dealing with these and cleaning up some of the traces he left in this third-level evil vein, Meng Zhou immediately left this place and rushed to another third-level evil vein nearly 100,000 miles away in the east.

Shortly after he arrived at this third-level evil vein, a full 100 third-level middle-grade Tai Sui bodies began to move under his command.

Five days later, as Meng Zhou evenly scattered fifty milky white balls into the nearly 40,000-mile boundary of this third-level evil vein where he was now, all his arrangements for this evil vein were completed.

At this moment, the time was February 25th, and the rotation period of the observation hall was approaching.

Meng Zhou did not continue to deal with the remaining three third-level evil veins, "I can only wait until the next time."

Thinking so in his heart, after cleaning up the traces of his hands, Meng Zhou flashed away from this place.

After leaving this third-level evil vein, Meng Zhou did not immediately rush to the place where the guardian of the Jindan was located who was about to be rotated back to Xingxiu Sea.

It was not until two days later that he entered the cave where the guardian of the Jindan was located.

Compared to two days ago, when he left the third-level evil vein, Meng Zhou's spirit gourd space had forty-three more ice sculptures.

In just two days, he had captured all the Lihen Sect's Danjie in this area.

These Lihen Sect's Danjie not only contributed themselves, but also contributed all their life savings to him.

Meng Zhou didn't care much about the considerable amount of spiritual stones and various messy materials and artifacts.

The only thing he cared about was the masterless divine will.

This action alone added nearly two hundred masterless divine wills to him, making the total number of masterless divine wills he could call upon more than four hundred, which was equivalent to him being able to refine two hundred groups of third-level middle-grade soul clones.

This "stealing" was undoubtedly very successful.

As for whether this approach would cause any trouble, Meng Zhou didn't care.

All his actions were just to earn four or five years of maneuvering time.

As long as this goal was achieved, he was not afraid of any troubles.

...

February 30, afternoon.

With a slight sense of frustration, a cultivator appeared in the center of a spiritual island.

Just as this person went through all the prescribed procedures after returning and officially became a member of the Observation Hall, and was reading some "things to know" in the cave assigned to him, Meng Zhou calmly escaped from the human-beast bag.

Meng Zhou, who successfully returned from the Refining Furnace Wasteland, did not continue to plan for entering the next wasteland.

He quickly left the spiritual island where the Observation Hall was located.

When passing a certain sea area, Meng Zhou, who had been in the gap between the real world and the real world since he escaped from the beast bag, suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction in the distance.

In the direction he looked far away, there was an island that looked inconspicuous.

But Meng Zhou knew that this "inconspicuous" island was the place where Lian Ziling practiced daily.

His cave was located on that island.

Meng Zhou did not look directly at the island.

He looked at the spirituality around the island.

In his eyes as a fourth-level middle-grade spiritualist, he could see that there was a very obscure and regular spirituality flowing toward the island.

This meant that there was someone on that island now.

Although he was very low-key and tried his best to conceal his own traces, as long as he was not completely isolated from this world, he would inevitably interact with this world and could not escape his eyes.

But didn't the four Yuanying Zhenjun go into seclusion in the "Xingxiu Tianchi" together in the first and second months of each year?

So, who is the person hiding on that island now?

For other people in Xingxiu Palace, this is a secret.

Now, no one has even seen through this layer.

But for Meng Zhou, this is not a secret, it is a fact.

Lian Ziling's clone is on the island, it's that simple.

After confirming this from afar, Meng Zhou's hanging and somewhat uneasy heart also became stable.

At least, he doesn't have to worry about "accidentally" running into this clone in the next action.

...

Lingming Island is the largest island in Xingxiu Sea.

Compared with other areas of Xingxiu Sea, a large area of ​​thousands of miles east of Lingming Island seems extremely empty.

In this sea area, there is nothing protruding above the water surface, whether it is Ling Island, small reefs, or anything else.

If you look under the water surface of this sea area, you will find a strange and magnificent underwater world.

This underwater world with a radius of thousands of miles is like a huge funnel.

In the outermost area, the seabed is not too deep from the sea surface. When the sunlight reaches the seabed through the clear sea water, it is still very bright and transparent.

But starting from the edge, the seabed gradually deepens with a slope that is not too steep, but not slow at all.

The distance from the seabed to the sea surface is getting farther and farther, and it is getting more and more "empty", and the seabed is getting darker and darker.

In the central area of ​​this sea area, that kind of "emptiness" and that kind of darkness have reached a level that makes people panic.

The spiritual energy in this sea area is obviously abundant, even more than Lingming Island, but there is no spiritual beast around.

February 30th has just passed, and time has just entered March 1st.

This bottom is bottomless, dark to the point of making people feel weak, and the calm sea area without any ripples suddenly ripples.

Then, a figure broke out of the water.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth figures broke out of the water one after another in this sea area.

The four figures that broke through the water did not stop, but turned into rainbow lights and shot towards the direction of the observation hall.

...

Near Lingming Island.

Meng Zhou was thinking in his heart that because of the existence of the "Transparent Round Mirror", even if he was in the Xingxiu Sea, his power could be manifested at any time in the Juye Wilderness, Hongze Wilderness and Lianluo Wilderness.

In the past few months, he just "played" a little bit and created some minor incidents or doubts in these three wildernesses.

Because the strength was controlled, the incidents were not big, but they were enough to attract the direct attention of the Xingxiu Palace Jindan, and even went to the front line to investigate.

——From this point of view, this "major incident" was only in Meng Zhou's opinion. If it was placed on other Jindan, it might be a big event like the sky falling.

For Meng Zhou, these incidents he casually created were not even appetizers. Their only function was to attract all the four Yuanying who had just come out of retreat.

"Ten days... This can at least buy me ten days, plus there are some incidents in the other three wastelands that they must pay attention to personally, so I can get at least half a month."

Thinking this way, Meng Zhou did not act immediately.

Until he confirmed through Cao Bin's contract connection that the four Yuanying Zhenjuns had all learned the latest developments of the outer domain and eight wastelands, and confirmed that they had all left Xingxiu Sea, Meng Zhou, who was hiding near Lingming Island, moved towards this sea area.
