The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 181 Teleportation

Should we not have come here? Shi Mo's heart sank slightly upon hearing this. Could this really be some kind of forbidden land?
"Senior Yang Mei, what do you mean by that? What exactly is the problem here?" Shi Mo couldn't help but ask.

Ancestor Yangmei said, "I know you have many questions, but I cannot answer them for you, because I do not know the origin of this world. I only know that once you enter here, you cannot get out. It is like a cage, a cage that imprisons saints."

"A cage?" Shi Mo frowned upon hearing this, and then his heart sank.

“Do you remember how you got in? Getting in is easy, getting out is hard,” Ancestor Yangmei continued.

"Senior, are you saying that there is no other way out besides the passage we came in through?" Shi Molian asked.

Yangmei Patriarch nodded and sighed helplessly, "If I could get out, I wouldn't have been trapped here for so long, so long that I've almost forgotten about time."

"Are we just trapped here, and there's no other danger?" Shi Mo frowned and asked.

“The cracks in that world’s membrane are not to be approached, for they possess an invisible power capable of harming even a saint’s body or primordial spirit,” said Ancestor Yang Mei, glancing at the several conspicuous cracks in the void.

Shi Mo frowned in confusion: "Could this world really be just a cage? Is its purpose to imprison saints? That doesn't make sense!"

“I’ve been here for a long time, exploring every nook and cranny, even the surrounding void, but I haven’t found anything special,” Ancestor Yangmei said, shaking his head.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ancestor Yangmei looked ahead with some surprise, which also made Shi Mo subconsciously look over.

Upon seeing this, Shi Mo couldn't help but show a look of surprise. He saw that a blood-red light suddenly shone on the vast land in front of the Pangu stone statue.

The crimson light outlined mysterious and complex patterns, making Shi Mo feel dizzy at first glance. It was as if he were looking at a book from heaven. At first glance, it seemed somewhat familiar, but upon closer inspection, he was completely confused.

Immediately afterwards, he felt an invisible force drawing him in, and he flew uncontrollably toward the stone statue of Pangu, while his blood and qi were boiling.

"Pangu bloodline? The only difference between me and Ancestor Yang Mei is that I have the Pangu bloodline. Could it be that the Pangu bloodline activated this complex formation? What kind of formation is it?"

With his mind racing, Shi Mo suppressed the dizziness and looked at the massive and complex array below, feeling inexplicably as if he were facing the mysterious and supreme Dao.

At the same time, the array shone brightly, and the invisible, surging power suffocated Shi Mo, clearly indicating that the array had been activated.

Ancestor Yang Mei watched this scene in astonishment. Just as he was about to approach, he discovered that there was an invisible force blocking his way, making it impossible for him to enter the formation's range.

A buzzing sound filled the air. The entire world trembled, teetering on the brink of collapse, as if the power of the entire world was insufficient to support the activation of the grand formation.

Fortunately, as the formation was activated, an invisible supreme power descended, making the power of the boundary-stabilizing bead within Shi Mo's body insignificant. He was like an insect trapped in amber, completely unable to move, and could only stare resignedly waiting for this terrifying formation to manipulate him.
A moment later, as a dazzling light shot into the sky, Shi Mo and the formation disappeared together, as if nothing had happened. Yang Mei, the old ancestor, fell to the ground in a disheveled state, his whole body trembling. Looking at the empty void, his mouth trembled as he asked, "Where is everyone?"

Crackling sounds followed immediately, causing Yang Mei Ancestor to turn his head and look. He saw that the huge Pangu stone statue had developed a lot of cracks, like a piece of porcelain about to break, but in the end it stubbornly did not break.

At the same time, Shi Mo found himself enveloped by an invisible supreme power, seemingly moving at a terrifying speed that surpassed the capabilities of his consciousness.
Under the influence of that speed that seemed to distort even consciousness, Shi Mo's body, comparable to a supreme innate treasure, collapsed. His primordial spirit, which was also somewhat confused and uncomfortable, continued to move forward under the protection of that invisible supreme power.

Shi Mo's senses were no longer clear; he felt as if everything was upside down and distorted, his perception was extremely chaotic, which was undoubtedly a terrible torment.

He didn't know how much time had passed, it seemed like a very long time, or maybe not so long, but Shi Mo felt like he was about to collapse. It was too painful, that feeling of powerlessness was like the feeling of not being able to die.

Finally, the discomfort abruptly disappeared. Shi Mo felt as if he had crashed into something and then lost consciousness.

While fast asleep, one becomes even less aware of the passage of time. Shi Mo doesn't know how long he has been asleep, but his consciousness gradually awakens.
In his hazy state, Shi Mo's senses seemed to become incredibly sharp. He faintly sensed some mysterious fluctuations, somewhat familiar, as if they were the profound and mysterious Dao he had comprehended in the primordial world, only more detailed, like seeing the moon through the clouds, rather than just looking at flowers through the fog. Finally, immersed in this state, half-awake and half-asleep, Shi Mo suddenly snapped awake, like a fish out of water, instinctively taking a breath.

The earth-shattering, thunderous sound reached his ears, and the restoration of his senses excited Shi Mo.

Then, looking down and seeing himself clearly, Shi Mo was stunned, because he found that he had become a jade figure with light flowing all over his body, and it seemed to be a huge jade figure sitting up inside a mountain, which collapsed the entire mountain.

"I'm sleeping inside a mountain? This body is too big! And it's not my previous body anymore. It doesn't seem to be magic power in my body. What is the power that fills every part of my body?" Feeling his current physical condition, Shi Mo became more and more confused.

"Where am I?" Sitting on the ruined mountainside, Shi Mo could see the undulating mountains in the distance and the world that seemed to stretch to the horizon: "This world is so vast, and the energy of heaven and earth is so abundant!"

Shi Mo could clearly feel that with each breath he took, he naturally absorbed the energy between heaven and earth and transformed it into energy within his body that was not magical power.

"This energy seems to be only around the Golden Immortal level," Shi Mo frowned slightly as he sensed the strength of the energy within his body. "Moreover, my physical body isn't particularly strong either."

"My Boundary-Stabilizing Pearl!" Shi Mo thought to himself, and subconsciously touched his chest. A spirit pearl radiating a mysterious yellow light appeared, and Shi Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Shi Mo discovered that the Boundary-Stabilizing Bead seemed to have changed as well. One of the worlds had become larger, and the energy it contained was the same as the energy of this world, as if it had been assimilated.

Moreover, the chaotic divine patterns on the boundary-stabilizing bead have changed, becoming increasingly complex and mysterious. As the divine patterns on its surface appeared, an aura that made Shi Mo tremble all over was quietly released, and the surrounding space instantly distorted.

Shi Mo, who had been busy "collecting" the stone into his body, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a thought, he tried to shrink his body, and in the blink of an eye, he shrunk back to a normal human form.

"My appearance hasn't changed." Shi Mo subconsciously used his divine sense to examine his current appearance, and suddenly his expression changed slightly:

"Huh? My primordial spirit... how did it merge with the power within my body? It seems my physical body can also be transformed into that kind of energy. The power of my primordial spirit and the energy within my body are one, and even my physical body is condensed using this kind of energy. What kind of cultivation system is this?"

Immediately afterward, as if realizing something, Shi Mo quickly sat cross-legged in mid-air, sensing some mysterious and invisible fluctuations in the world: "The various Dao fluctuations in this world are so mysterious and clear, seemingly very finely divided, yet interconnected."

"There seem to be ten strongest Daos: the Dao of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, the Dao of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Destruction, Creation of Life, and Chaos? The other Daos seem to have evolved from these." Shi Mo, who was already a saint in the prehistoric world, had a high enough realm to make such a judgment.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Mo began to sense the Dao that had resonated with him during his previous hazy state of consciousness.
Just like recalling events from a dream, Shi Mo, immersed in the experience, quickly grasped a relatively easy path.
Buzz. At the same time, waves of mysterious Dao energy descended, surrounding Shi Mo, making him seem as if he had become the embodiment of the Dao for a moment.

"These Daos are too simple, aren't they?" Shi Mo, who had successively comprehended one Dao after another, and whose understanding of other Daos was becoming more and more profound, couldn't help but feel surprised and fascinated.

Compared to the mysterious and vague Dao in the primordial world, comprehending the Dao in this world is as simple as eating and drinking for Shi Mo. The more Dao he comprehends, the more accomplished Shi Mo feels.

However, after comprehending the simple and familiar Dao, Shi Mo clearly felt that comprehending the Dao at a deeper level was not so easy.

However, with these insights into the Dao, Shi Mo also easily grasped many more simple Daos.

Furthermore, as he gained more and more insights into the Dao and his perception and control of the surrounding space became clearer, Shi Mo discovered that he found it quite easy to comprehend the Dao of Space, and his comprehension and improvement were rapid.
Thus, immersed in his enlightenment, Shi Mo completely forgot about time. Unknowingly, he gained a deep understanding of the Dao of Space, and even began to grasp the Dao of Time. He finally comprehended one of the Daos of Earth, which he grasped most quickly.
A powerful wave of Dao energy, significantly stronger than ordinary Dao energy, descended, carrying a heavy aura that subtly drew in the earth elemental energy of heaven and earth.

"Hmm?" Just then, Shi Mo, who was immersed in enlightenment, suddenly sensed intense energy fluctuations in the distance, which were getting closer and closer. It seemed that someone was fighting and had come to his location.

Frowning, Shi Mo opened his eyes with resignation, then stood up and looked curiously into the distance:
"The strong people in this world? Their auras are quite strong, and they all seem to be on par with me. Judging from the way they fight, they all seem to have only comprehended the basic Dao, and their understanding of the Dao is much worse than mine."

"I was just trying to figure out what kind of world this is, and they've come at just the right time," Shi Mo said, his eyes gleaming, as he approached them directly.
