The Master of Beasts-Chapter 652 - 183: Seeking Knowledge, True Self
"Seeking knowledge, true self?"
"What do I want to know?"
"What is the real me?"
Chen Jiuge's eyes were vacant, somewhat stumbling back to his cave mansion.
Along the way, neither the greetings from fellow cultivators nor the calls of the Spiritual Beasts in the cave mansion interrupted Chen Jiuge's delirium.
"What truly is me?"
"What am I?"
A myriad of thoughts, like living creatures, continuously burrowed into Chen Jiuge's mind, taking root and sprouting, forming heart demons.
"Who am I, I am a god, the supreme deity of all Spiritual Beasts!"
With two horns on his head, the black Chen Jiuge uttered bizarrely.
"You are not a god, you are Chen Jiuge, you possess abilities others do not, you can prevent all tragedies!"
The white Chen Jiuge, with a halo on his head, spoke mercifully.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Chen Jiuge, here for immortality!"
The young Chen Jiuge dressed in coarse linen spoke resolutely.
Various versions of Chen Jiuge appeared one after another in his mind.
"Shut up, shut up!"
"Master, master!"
With a head drenched in sweat, Chen Jiuge, pale-faced, looked at the Spiritual Beasts beside him and gratefully said: "Thank you."
"Master, are you okay!"
"I'm fine, I just made a mistake in my cultivation, a rest will make it okay."
Chen Jiuge, somewhat weak, walked towards the secret room.
Sitting down heavily on the meditation mat, Chen Jiuge showed a trace of fear.
"Is this a heart demon?"
Extending hands that were somewhat jade-like, Chen Jiuge lamented with a bitter smile: "Turns out, unknowingly, I have lost myself."
"Immortality? If it were just immortality, I would have achieved it long ago."
"Boom"
Gripping his hand tightly, the powerful physical force emitted a thunderous roar.
"I have even forgotten that I am a Body Cultivation practitioner!"
"Perhaps I indeed need to calm down properly."
.....
Star Moon City
The Golden Desert, originally covered in yellow sand, has now changed colors.
The chilling black Yin Qi permeated the air, eerie laughter occasionally emanating from the black mist, and various ghost monsters with bizarre appearances sometimes poked their heads out.
"These damned ghost monsters!"
The manager of the caravan, who had been traveling outside, looked disdainfully at the dissipating bodies of ghost monsters.
"Three or two measures of Ghost Powder, truly cheap!"
Thanks to the Artifact Refining Master Dabai of Star Moon City, who researched a Ghost Artifact specifically using Ghost Powder, ghost monsters now at least have some value.
Most importantly, due to the appearance of Ghost Artifacts, Star Moon City's development has become faster and faster, even surpassing those officially ranked City of Explorations.
Many famous Heavenly Immortal Practitioners chose to settle in Star Moon City, significantly enhancing Star Moon City's foundation.
Of course, not all sects and forces are willing to see Star Moon City expand rapidly.
However, the existence of Kai Ming of Wufa Temple prevents those forces from acting openly, resorting only to covert hindrances.
This kind of approach is of no use to current Star Moon City, instead, it further accelerates the spread of Star Moon City's reputation.
"Is it confirmed?" Mo Yu asked.
"Wasn't this agreed upon long ago? Moreover, now I am the Deputy City Lord of Star Moon City, surely they won't cast me aside after merging Beauty Valley?" Xiao Hong joked.
"You're overthinking, such a thing won't happen." Mo Yu shook his head solemnly.
"Then there's nothing to worry about, merging Beauty Valley is Star Moon City's best approach now!" Xiao Hong stowed away the faint sadness on her face.
From this day forth, the Beauty Valley that accompanied her for many years, which she personally established and built, will completely disappear into the river of history!
"Good!" Mo Yu did not decline excessively, as Star Moon City does indeed need to merge Beauty Valley and expand the city boundaries now.
"Let the array be activated then." Mo Ming's turquoise eyes showed a hint of excitement.
In the Golden Desert, the number of Heavenly Gate Organization branches is actually considerable, just that due to various sects' strict management of this area.
Thus, the cultivation levels of the members based here are not too high.
The sudden attack by underworld ghosts led to the destruction of many hidden Heavenly Gate branches, but of course, some lucky ones survived.
Unclear what happened in between, but now Mo Ming holds the highest status and cultivation within the Heavenly Gate Organization members in the Golden Desert.
Star Moon City's expansion now requires a large number of Array Masters, conveniently allowing Mo Ming to gather all these lucky survivors.
"Now there is no contact with the outside world, if I can subdue all these people, my status should rise considerably!"
Although the Heavenly Gate also values cultivation, Mo Ming feels he is only a step away from becoming a Golden Immortal, thus there is no need to worry excessively.
"Activate!"
Golden light that makes one unable to open their eyes emerged from the ground, and if seen from above, the same golden light also appeared over at Star Moon Oasis.
These golden lights, like a divine dragon, wove and wound around, enclosing the entire Beauty Valley.
"Crack"
Blocks of long yellow stone pillars rose from the ground, eventually forming a tall city wall corridor.
"This is one of the most famous and practical great arrays from our Heavenly Gate, known as the Ten Thousand City Sky Lock Array!"
"Ten Thousand City Sky Lock?" Hei Mu murmured, "Isn't it just a city-building array? What an arrogant name!"
Mo Ming glanced at Hei Mu and calmly said, "Although this array mainly facilitates city construction."
"But, the city it constructs is quite different."
With a flick of his finger, a green stream of light flew out from Mo Ming's hand, striking the yellow city wall with a crisp sound.
The cultivators present, all Heavenly Immortals with extraordinary cultivation, clearly saw the surface of the city wall hit by the green light.
