Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 332 - 276: Schrödinger’s Storage Chamber!

Although the Jianmu Divine Needle includes the character "wood," it is not actually a true tree.

It is more like a super-giant structure made of top-tier Wood Dao Spiritual Materials, and thus the inside of the Jianmu Divine Needle is not solid but has a different kind of space.

For example, the internal space Su Yuan is now entering.

After stepping through the wooden door, there is still another door ahead of Su Yuan, one resembling a bank vault door.

Although it’s unclear what material this door is made of, it is certain that any power below Nascent Soul cannot budge it in the slightest.

Behind the door lies Su Yuan’s intended destination, the Storage Chambers of the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends within the Jianmu Divine Needle.

According to the instructor, there are a total of one hundred and eight storage chambers inside the Jianmu Divine Needle.

Different numbered storage chambers vary in their reserves of the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.

Storage Chamber No. 1 contains the largest reserve, while Storage Chamber No. 108 has the least.

The setup is designed to meet the needs of Earth and Wood people of different levels.

For example, Storage Chambers ranked first to thirty-sixth, known as the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits, are intensely dense with the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, and only Golden Core or higher level cultivators can harness and use them.

A common Foundation Establishment Cultivator entering them would be courting death.

Storage Chambers ranked thirty-seventh to one hundred and eighth are known as the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, with a lower concentration of the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, suitable for Foundation Establishment Earth and Wood people to manage and use.

Especially Storage Chamber No. 108, with the lowest concentration, even allows Peak Qi Cultivation Cultivators to freely enter and exit.

Su Yuan looked up at the number above the vault door.

Number ninety-nine.

"Alas, it seems the instructor doesn’t trust me enough, assigning me to such a rear-numbered storage chamber."

Su Yuan sighed:

"I hope the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends inside is sufficient for absorption."

With this thought, Su Yuan strode to the vault door and took out the authorization card given by the instructor, swiping it across the card reader.

Rumble——

The heavy door slowly opened a gap wide enough for one person to pass through, and before Su Yuan could step inside, a strong suction from within seized him.

Even with Su Yuan’s physical fitness, he was slightly staggering as he was pulled into the storage chamber.

The heavy vault door closed again behind him.

The Spirit Stone Lamp embedded in the wall cast a faint light, illuminating the vast storage chamber that spanned more than five hundred square meters and stood twenty meters tall.

However, the light from the Spirit Stone Lamp was not bright, akin to thin moonlight falling, allowing Su Yuan to barely see.

In this chaotic magnetic field affected by the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, electrical devices were useless here, and even creations powered by Spiritual Energy could only barely function.

These so-called creations included cultivators.

Inside the storage chamber, Su Yuan felt like an ordinary person in an environment with a high concentration of carbon dioxide, struggling to breathe.

That was the minor issue; the main concern was the change in his Dantian’s Spiritual Power.

The usually obedient Spiritual Power, under the tearing of the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, had become restless, almost wanting to leave his body.

Fortunately, Su Yuan only needed to slightly employ his Divine Spirit Root to suppress this restlessness.

Resolving the issue of restless Spiritual Power so easily surprised Su Yuan a little.

After all, both True Monarch Yang Hao and the instructor repeatedly warned him about the influence of the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends on cultivators... was it just this?

But upon thinking carefully, Su Yuan figured it out.

The Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends indeed has a strong influence, but it depends on what level of cultivator is being affected.

Cultivators with no Spiritual Root or those with ordinary Spirit Root Foundation Establishment have weak Dantian and unstable Spiritual Power, naturally unable to stabilize their Spiritual Power.

Cultivators with Celestial Spirit Root and Immortal Spirit Root are stronger, but they cannot entirely avoid being affected.

But the Divine Spirit Root is different.

Su Yuan’s Divine Spirit Root evolved into an Ultimate Spirit Root after absorbing the Power of six Artificial Immortal Spirit Roots, stable as a mountain.

Perhaps only the Dantian of cultivators above Golden Core could be steadier than Su Yuan’s.

The difficulty of Storage Chamber No. 99 was utterly unworthy of the Divine Spirit Root.

Understanding this, Su Yuan felt completely at ease and began his real task.

He raised his hand and took off the necklace around his neck, the central part of which was a blood-red, thumb-sized Treasure Pearl.

Tribulation Moon Pearl! Activate!

As threads of Spiritual Power were infused into the Tribulation Moon Pearl, the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends in the storage chamber was immediately drawn and absorbed.

The Nine Heavens Gang Qi was light and clear, floating in the storage chamber like clusters of milky white clouds, occasionally with sharp gusts of Qi Gang flashing through the clouds.

The Nine Nether Evil Qi was heavy and turbid, though gaseous, it was denser than Su Yuan, this Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Since Su Yuan set foot in the storage chamber, his feet remained planted on the Nine Nether Evil Qi.

With the activation of the Tribulation Moon Pearl, the distinct balance of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends was broken.

Under the guidance of the suction, the two forces came into contact, naturally forming the shape of Yin Yang.

The two forces swiftly poured into the space of the Tribulation Moon Pearl, with Su Yuan’s consciousness immediately entering within, manipulating these forces to begin constructing the two Great Secret Realms of Absolute Heaven and Earth.

The progress bar of the system task began to slowly rise.

The process of constructing a world is mesmerizing, just like putting together a complex puzzle piece by piece, once immersed in it, you lose track of time, fully absorbed.

Su Yuan found himself in such a state while constructing the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm.

Until an unexpected change occurred that snapped him back to reality.

And what was this unexpected change?

The Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends was depleted, and there were no building materials left.

Without the tearing forces of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, the Spirit Stone Lamp finally returned to its expected output, lighting up the vast storage chamber as bright as daylight.

Being interrupted while fully concentrated on work made Su Yuan naturally displeased.

But when he looked up and saw the empty, bare storage room, his eyes suddenly became clear.

"It’s... empty?"

Su Yuan instinctively glanced at the task progress bar; the progress of constructing the two Heaven and Earth Secret Realms had only advanced by ten percent.

That is to say, it would take draining ten storage rooms like No. 99 to meet the requirements for building the Absolute Heaven and Earth.

But if Su Yuan remembered correctly, it would take at least a month to fill the Earth Demon Level storage room with Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.

There are a total of seventy-two Earth Demon Level storage rooms. He alone occupies a seventh of their monthly capacity. Even thinking with his toes, he knows the school wouldn’t agree.

He recalls that the advisor said the capacity of the No. 99 storage room alone, while being consumed and stored simultaneously, would be enough for Su Yuan to practice Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship for a year.

Yet in less than a day, Su Yuan had completely drained it. How was he supposed to explain this to the advisor?

Su Yuan had anticipated that building the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm would consume a lot, but hadn’t expected it to be to such a degree!

Moreover, he hadn’t practiced his Celestial Slayer Swordsmanship at all.

He was a bit sweaty all over.

If he were discovered, he’d face fines for certain.

That would be more distressing than killing him.

"Forget it, let’s pretend nothing happened."

After pondering for a long time, Su Yuan decided to just let it rot.

Anyway, the right to use storage room No. 99 was with him; others generally wouldn’t enter.

As long as no outsiders entered it, it was like Schrödinger’s storage room; nobody would know if it was filled or empty with Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.

He tidied up his mood, pushed open the storage room’s door, and then another wooden door to leave the Jianmu Divine Needle.

It was already early the next morning, with the sky barely showing a hint of dawn, almost daybreak.

Harboring a sort of escapist feeling, Su Yuan prepared to leave the School of Earth and Wood.

Just then, he saw several students from the Earth and Wood Department coming in and out of other entrances of the Jianmu Divine Needle.

Each time they came out, they had in their hands a bead that seemed to have a swirling yin-yang fish within.

Su Yuan immediately recognized that the yin-yang fish within the bead was the tangible Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends.

A thought crossed his mind, and he vaguely thought of a way to cover the deficit.

So then Su Yuan promptly abandoned the idea of fleeing the School of Earth and Wood, and cheerfully approached a student holding a treasure pearl.

"Senior, may I ask what you are doing?"

Su Yuan asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the senior brother of Earth and Wood spoke without hesitation:

"Isn’t it because an old teaching building at the academy is to be demolished and rebuilt, we are preparing materials in advance."

"To ensure the new teaching building is stable as Mount Tai and can withstand the impact of Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core experts, a large amount of Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends is vital, it’s the most important part of the infrastructure."

Su Yuan was not surprised by this answer.

He first glanced greedily at the treasure pearl, and then asked with an admiring tone:

"As expected of Senior Brother of Earth and Wood, already taking on the responsibility of constructing worlds while still in school, truly a role model for us all!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Honestly speaking, if it wasn’t for scoring issues, I would definitely have applied to the School of Earth and Wood."

Hearing Su Yuan’s admiring and longing tone, the originally nonchalant senior brother of Earth and Wood immediately straightened his back.

He turned around, patted Su Yuan on the shoulder, and said:

"It doesn’t matter if your score didn’t meet the Earth and Wood Department’s admission standards. As long as your heart is set on Earth and Wood, you will eventually step into the earth..."

Halfway through his speech, the senior brother finally noticed the badge on Su Yuan’s chest.

The conspicuous Evil Extermination Department badge, like a sun, seared his eyes.

His hand on Su Yuan’s shoulder recoiled as if shocked.

"You... barely met the reverse cutoff score, right!"

The Earth and Wood senior was angry:

"Pretending to be ostentatious at our School of Earth and Wood! Don’t think you’re untouchable as Lord Evil Extermination!"

"There are seven third-year Earth and Wood students here. If we all join forces, there’s no way you can take us all down before depleting your Spiritual Power!"

Su Yuan: "..."

The commotion immediately caught the attention of the six other Earth and Wood seniors he mentioned, who all came rushing in.

Seven students from the Earth and Wood Department surrounded Su Yuan, creating an immediate sense of oppression against him...

Just joking, actually, Su Yuan didn’t feel any oppression from these seven seniors.

Because although they had established a Foundation, it was only with Celestial Spirit Root Foundation Establishment, and they were at best at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Apparently, they had only scraped together enough academic credits to exchange for a Celestial Spirit Root at the latter half of their sophomore year, barely establishing their Foundation not long ago.

Such university students might be prodigies outside the Ten Great Immortal Sects, but in Su Yuan’s eyes, who ranks among the top two of the Evil Extermination Department’s freshmen... they seemed a bit ridiculous.

Servant disciples indeed... ahem, can’t be influenced by the system, the classifications of servant, outer, inner sect, and true disciples were long abolished, no regressing.

Suppressing his peculiar feelings, Su Yuan said sincerely:

"Seniors, I’m serious!"

"I really want to get involved in Earth and Wood work, contribute to the world construction."

"If you don’t believe me, I can skip classes from tomorrow and come to our School of Earth and Wood for further study!"

After Su Yuan’s heartfelt words, all the Earth and Wood seniors looked at each other in confusion.

What, is this kid serious?

Even Lord Evil Extermination seeks help from us Earth and Wood fellows?
