The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 228 Second Entry into Time and Space Tides
Among the many powerful alien beings, most were at the level of perfected Great Dao, with only the silver-haired, silver-eyed woman barely qualifying as a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm being.

The other attacks combined are equivalent to two or three silver-haired, silver-eyed women attacking together.

Although they could only passively defend and escape, Qin Yun and the others were immediately invigorated when they saw Shi Mo easily capture several powerful aliens.

"What? The methods of the Time and Space Dao have actually reached such a level? This suppression method has the style of a Heavenly Dao Realm existence!" The mysterious alien powerhouse who controlled more than thirty alien powerhouses was both shocked and furious.

He spared no effort to awaken all his clones, but he did not expect that Shi Mo was even stronger than Qin Yun, whose defensive methods were more formidable. Moreover, Shi Mo's methods of direct confrontation were more powerful, and he estimated that all of his clones could withstand a head-on collision.

"With such strength, no wonder they dare to venture into the Time-Space Tide," Destiny said angrily. "But with such strength, they could probably roam the Time-Space Tide alone without anyone being able to do anything to them, yet they are so cautious as to join forces with others. What should we do? Give up?"

Just as the fate of the mysterious powerhouse was uncertain, Shi Mo grabbed the hands of the three alien powerhouses and pulled them back.

The main problem was that the silver-haired, silver-eyed woman was obstructing him, and other alien races were also joining forces against Shi Mo, which greatly reduced his efficiency in capturing powerful alien beings.

After a moment, the alien warriors, who had become increasingly wary and hesitant to act recklessly, finally gave up.

Above the group of powerful alien warriors who had stopped fighting, an old man with silver hair and pointed ears appeared, his voice resounding and carried along the tides of time and space:
"I never imagined that someone whose destiny traverses the tides of time would suffer such a great loss at your hands. May I ask your name?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you expect us to release the clone we captured?" Shi Mo sneered.

Who knows if the other party has any curse-like methods? Why would Shi Mo and the others easily reveal their names?
The old man paused for a moment before saying, "Next time we meet, I will definitely win and make you all my clones."

After he finished speaking, the phantom disappeared, and a black mountain appeared. All the alien powerhouses flew into Blackwater Mountain, and then the black mountain quickly disappeared into the tides of time and space.

Seeing that the other side had given up and was leaving, Qin Yun and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ru Shou used his golden tiger claws to kill the alien powerhouses that Shi Mo had captured one by one, like slaughtering pigs. Shi Mo watched the alien powerhouses leave and thought to himself:
"Controlling so many Dao Perfection experts with his soul won't be easy. I'll deal with him next time I have the chance!"

Looking at the bound, lifeless giant, Qin Yun waved his hand to collect him and asked, "Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Ru Shou, shall we go back directly or continue our adventure?"

"Let's go back first! These alien races have different methods. If we encounter one that counters us, or one that is even stronger, we might not be able to handle it," Shi Molian said.
"I think next time we come, we should invite Hou Yi to come along. It would be best if several experts at or near the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm joined forces. With all sorts of methods, we can deal with all kinds of situations and be safer."

"I've achieved my goal this time, and I've obtained the treasure. Moreover, the harvest this time is quite substantial, so I'll head back now," Ru Shou nodded slightly.

As they spoke, they divided up the corpses, weapons, and treasures of the alien warriors, and then embarked on their journey home.

Just a few decades later, Shi Mo and his companions successfully returned to the Three Realms.

Their return was immediately sensed by some of the top beings in the Three Realms. Beings at the Great Dao Perfection and those in the Heavenly Dao Realm are very perceptive of cause and effect.

Once Qin Yun and his companions leave the Three Realms and enter the spacetime tides, as long as they don't leave any clones in the Three Realms, their karmic ties will be severed.

Now that their cause and effect have reappeared, and considering the location of their reappearance, it's easy to deduce that they have returned from their adventures in the spacetime tides.

For a time, the top beings in the Three Realms also had different thoughts.

Especially for those Great Dao Perfection beings who have never been to the Time-Space Tide, many of them lack confidence in their own strength and abilities and dare not venture into the Time-Space Tide, yet they are filled with curiosity.

Some top demonic cultivators, such as the Demon Ancestor, wished Shi Mo and Qin Yun dead, but many Great Dao Perfection beings were also tempted by Shi Mo and the others' return from the spacetime tide.

Some Great Dao Perfection experts who lacked the ability to create clones envied Shi Mo for having clones, allowing him to venture out into the world with peace of mind without worrying about perishing. At most, he would only lose some weapons, magic treasures, and other valuables.

However, even those who have reached the Great Dao Perfection would feel extremely distressed if they lost a handy innate treasure or similar item, since many of them do not possess any innate treasures.

As for information about the spacetime tides, Shi Mo and his group would not hide it from other Great Dao Perfection beings.

The Three Pure Ones, who had ventured into the spacetime tides before reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm, shared much of their information with their descendants. After all, they did not want any Great Dao Perfection experts in the Three Realms to perish in the spacetime tides because they were unaware of the situation there.

Although there are many who yearn for the perfect path, probably only a handful will actually venture out into it.

After returning to the Three Realms, Qin Yun sacrificed several alien corpses at the Great Dao Perfection level in order to nurture his natal flying sword into an innate merit treasure. Unexpectedly, he obtained the bloodline power of a Heavenly Dao Realm being who had achieved physical sainthood from the body of that burly giant.

Shi Mo also cultivated the physical body, so he naturally became curious and tried to comprehend the power of the bloodline.

Even the Ancestral Dragon sensed this and came specifically to trade a strand of bloodline power with Qin Yun.

Reaching the Heavenly Dao Realm is a qualitative transformation. Even the bloodline contains many profound mysteries of the Great Dao, which Shi Mo and Qin Yun gained a lot from after comprehending it.

Unfortunately, Qin Yun's natal flying sword still failed to become a treasure of merit. So after more than two thousand years of comprehension and cultivation, he contacted Hou Yi and Kong Xuan, and together with Shi Mo and Ju Mang, they went to venture into the spacetime tides again.

This time, Shi Mo and his group chose a chaotic spacetime rift where alien powerhouses were most concentrated, preparing to fight their way through.

With the addition of Hou Yi and Kong Xuan, and Shi Mo's strength and methods, Qin Yun and Ju Mang, now more confident, dared to take such a risk.

Among them, Jumang, relying on his ability to create clones, has entered the spacetime tides the most times and is the most experienced.

Therefore, after entering the spacetime tide, Jumang shared some experiences and taboos with Houyi and Kongxuan along the way.

In the ebb and flow of time and space, anything can happen, so concealing one's strength is crucial. Once a powerful alien race discovers one's true strength, one may become a target.

Traveling through the spacetime tides is tedious, but this time, Shi Mo and his group encountered an alien race halfway through their journey into the spacetime tides, before reaching their intended destination.

"Be careful, an enemy is approaching," Kong Xuan suddenly warned telepathically. Shi Mo followed up with a telepathic message: "The enemy's aura is quite unique, and their stealth technique is also unusual. They're probably planning to ambush us."

“A ship is approaching,” Kong Xuan continued telepathically. “There is an extremely dark and sinister force lurking on the ship. I haven’t found any enemies; they must be hiding on that ship.”

“I sensed the other party’s energy; it’s very special! I suspect it’s a special energy life form, similar to a ghost, not to be underestimated,” Shi Mo warned. “Anyone who dares to act alone in the spacetime tides is definitely not someone to be trifled with,” Ju Mang said.

While Shi Mo and the others were secretly communicating, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted and struck the Misty Rain Sword Formation that Qin Yun had been maintaining.

Qin Yun's deliberate show of weakness caused the Misty Rain Sword Formation to tremble violently, appearing on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, a black, dilapidated wooden boat appeared, and a sneer came from on board: "You guys are really cautious enough, and also really weak."

Then, gray chains flew out from the dilapidated wooden boat, a total of nineteen chains clanging as they swept towards Shi Mo and the others, who were protected by the Misty Rain Sword Formation.

However, at that moment, as Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light swept forward, the dilapidated wooden boat was directly enveloped by the five-colored divine light and disappeared.

For a moment, only a woman in white stood there blankly where the large ship had been, still unable to believe that her most precious treasure, the Nine Nether Ship, had been taken away.

"Good!" Qin Yun and the others were pleasantly surprised to see this. Kong Xuan's methods were indeed remarkable!

The woman in white, realizing what was happening, looked at Kong Xuan with a dark expression: "I didn't expect you to have some skill, but you'll regret this soon."

“She is indeed not made of flesh and blood, and I cannot capture her along with me. She is indeed a special kind of life form,” Kong Xuanxuan said to Shi Mo and the others.

“Be careful. She’s still so confident even after losing that big ship. She obviously still has something to rely on,” Jumang warned.

Qin Yun and Hou Yi also became slightly more serious. They didn't know the other party's background, and even though Kong Xuan had taken away the other party's Nine Nether Ship in one move, they still dared not be careless.

"You four, prepare to die!" The woman in white shouted coldly, a black and red longsword appearing in her hand, and an overwhelming aura of ferocity emanated from her.

But with a flash of five-colored divine light, Kong Xuan easily sheathed the long sword.

The woman in white couldn't help but feel frustrated and annoyed by the phrase "my knife."

But then, with a low laugh, the woman in white transformed into a gray stream of energy and rushed towards the Misty Rain Sword Formation.

The Misty Rain Sword Formation trembled upon impact, but Qin Yun remained calm. At the same time, he became even more certain that the opponent was a special energy life form with power somewhat similar to karmic fire, only more troublesome.

The long vines shot out from Jumang's body, trying to test the opponent's methods, but they were quickly eroded and withered upon contact with the gray mist.

"I'll do it." Shi Mo made his move, twisting and piercing through space and time. His palm pierced through the gray air currents and suddenly clenched, causing a lot of the gray air currents to be annihilated.

A scream rang out, and the gray aura that had dissipated and retreated instantly condensed in the distance into a white-clad woman. She looked at Shi Mo with some surprise and anger: "So strong? But killing me won't be so easy!"

“That gray aura is indeed difficult to kill because it is weak and cannot withstand force,” Shi Mo transmitted his voice. “I was only able to destroy it by relying on spacetime techniques to seal and suppress part of its power.”

Hou Yi then made his move, and a sharp arrow pierced through the body of the woman in white. Although the woman in white was somewhat surprised by the special mental energy contained in the arrow, she did not care, because the arrow was of average power.

However, after Hou Yi fired several arrows in succession, their power increased rapidly, causing her to suffer a significant increase in damage.

Ultimately, the woman in white perished after only the sixth arrow.

As a special energy life form, the woman in white left no body after her death, only some treasures. After Shi Mo and his group examined and divided them, they continued their journey.

Among the white-clad woman's treasures, the most precious was the Nine Nether Ship, a supreme innate treasure skilled in defense, followed by the long sword with a strong aura of ferocity.

Since Kong Xuan and Hou Yi contributed the main force, the Nine Nether Ship and the long sword naturally belonged to them. Qin Yun also obtained the corpse of a powerful alien from the white-clad woman's collection.

"Hmm?" As they continued on their way, Shi Mo, as if sensing something, glanced subtly at the spacetime tide in the distance. Qin Yun and the others didn't notice, but Shi Mo keenly sensed three incredibly tiny insects hidden within the spacetime tide.

However, Shi Mo didn't care too much. As long as it wasn't a Heavenly Dao Realm expert, he was confident he could handle even the most troublesome powerhouses in this spacetime tide.

The insects followed silently, and Shi Mo couldn't help but feel a little excited: "This trip through the spacetime tides looks like it's going to be very interesting!"

Several years later, Shi Mo and his group finally arrived at the location of their first target.

In the distance, a palace could be seen floating in the tides of time and space, enveloped in a faint pink glow.

The palace is filled with blooming flowers, making it a renowned palace of myriad flowers in the tides of time and space.

“What a powerful formation! We can’t trespass.” After briefly examining the formation, Shi Mo said solemnly, “Although I am confident that I can break it within the time limit, there is a chaotic spacetime rift near the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. If we fall into it, the master of this palace may take us into his world.”

"We can't go in," Qin Yun and the others quickly reached a consensus. If the other side didn't come out, they would rather give up than force their way in.

Soon, just as Shi Mo and his group were about to leave, pretending to give up, the thin man in red, the Palace Master of Wanhua Palace, came out.

Seeing the Palace Master of the Myriad Flowers Palace holding a treasure that resembled a peach blossom branch, Shi Mo and the others immediately stopped. It's good that they're out!
"Gentlemen, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" The Palace Master of Wanhua Palace said with a charming smile, "It is such a rare thing to meet in the spacetime tide. We are all from different worlds, so we can sit down and exchange our cultivation methods and experiences. What do you think?"

"You used your charms the moment you met, and even offered to exchange cultivation methods. We dare not discuss cultivation with you in such a manner," Hou Yi sneered.

Hou Yi's voice, carrying an invisible mental force, swept over Qin Yun and the others, instantly jolting them free from the invisible allure of the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Flowers.

"In the midst of the tides of time and space, where different races slaughter each other, this feigned warmth and politeness is utterly disgusting. Do you intend to invite us to your Myriad Flower Palace next? Do you think we look like idiots?"

Shi Mo scoffed, "If you're going to make a move, just do it directly. Don't waste our time here."
