The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 26 Selecting Spiritual Materials

Seeing Di Jun's impatience, Shi Mo smiled faintly and said, "I need some spiritual materials to set up the formation. The higher the quality, the better. It is related to the efficiency of the Heavenly Court gathering the power of the stars after the formation is set up."

"Bai Ze, take him to open the Heavenly Palace's treasury and let him choose the spiritual materials he needs," Di Jun ordered directly.

"The Demon King is indeed generous," Shi Mo continued with a smile, "However, I still need a large amount of star stones born in the vast starry sky. This spiritual material is very important for setting up the formation."

"Take him to the ancient starry sky for selection," Di Jun instructed Bai Ze directly without waiting for Shi Mo to finish.

Shi Mo didn't care about Di Jun's mood at all. After Bai Ze responded respectfully, he left the Demon King Palace with him.

After Shi Mo left, Di Jun's face turned cold and he directly ordered the powerful demons standing below to retreat. Then he couldn't help but snorted coldly in annoyance.

"Don't worry, Demon King. It won't be too late to deal with him after he has set up the formation and restrictions," Kunpeng said with a smile.

"Demon Master, you want the spiritual treasure on him, right?" Di Jun glanced at Kunpeng and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Demon Master to help me deliver it to him later."

Kunpeng froze for a moment after hearing this, then revealed a cold smile: "Don't worry, Demon King! I won't let him return to Jiuding Tiecha Mountain alive."

Di Jun remained silent, his gaze cold and sharp as he looked towards the outside of the Demon King Palace: "If you want to take advantage of my demon clan, you have to be dead."

"Brother, this Shi Mo is a fool. Since he dared to leave Jiuding Tiecha Mountain and come to Heaven, he must have some means of self-preservation. If we can't kill him in one go, there will be serious troubles in the future," Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but frowned.

"Donghuang is worrying too much! What means can he have? Could it be that he has a top-grade innate spiritual treasure to protect himself?" Kunpeng sneered indifferently.

Di Jun also smiled and said, "Even if Zhen Yuanzi lent him the Earth Book to protect himself, he wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of your Chaos Bell, right?"

"Let's wait until he sets up the formation and restrictions in the Heavenly Palace to gather the power of the stars in the sky," Donghuang Taiyi said without comment.

On the other side, in a corner of the Heavenly Palace not too far from the Demon King Palace, on a floating island surrounded by chaotic clouds, there stood a palace that was not much smaller than the Demon King Palace.

"Did Di Jun comprehend this formation restriction from the River Map and Luo Shu?" Looking at the chaotic and shifting clouds and the seemingly chaotic patterns on the palace walls, Shi Mo couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"This Di Jun has a good command of formations. He is able to become the Demon King. It seems that he is indeed not to be underestimated."

Bai Ze took action and quickly opened the door to the heavenly treasure house in front of him.

"Damn! Is this a treasure house or a warehouse? Or a garbage dump?" After entering the treasury, Shi Mo couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the piles of various spiritual materials and treasures inside.

Sure enough, the efficiency of such a large demon clan in collecting various spiritual materials in the prehistoric world is truly astonishing.

But if we cannot make use of these spiritual materials and just throw them like garbage into the treasure house of Heaven, it would be such a waste of resources.

"Waste! What a waste!" Shi Mo thought to himself. If Bai Ze hadn't been right next to him, he would have almost taken out the Earth Book or unfolded the Wuji Umbrella to sweep away all these spiritual materials and treasures.

"How is it? Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, my Heavenly Court Treasury is rich in treasures. Most of the spiritual materials and treasures found in the prehistoric world are here. You should be able to find any spiritual materials you want for setting up the formation."

Seeing Shi Mo's somewhat stunned expression, Bai Ze couldn't help but laugh. "What's the point of having more? It has to be useful," Shi Mo rolled his eyes at him before wandering around the treasury, investigating the properties and uses of some of the spiritual materials and treasures.

The more Shi Mo investigated, the more he regretted that he had traded less with the demon clan before. He should have asked for a larger share of spiritual materials and treasures to compensate for the innate spiritual treasures.

Time passed slowly. Seeing that Shi Mo had almost browsed the treasury but hadn't chosen anything yet, Bai Ze finally couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, have you made your choice yet?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Your Heavenly Palace's treasury is so huge, with so many spiritual materials and treasures. I have to slowly select them." Shi Mo glanced at Bai Ze and said.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him to the largest treasure house in heaven," Bai Ze thought to himself.

After strolling around for a while, Shi Mo hesitated for a moment before taking out the Wuji Umbrella. The powerful suction force immediately sucked a large amount of spiritual materials into the umbrella like a rain of flying stones.

Bai Ze, who saw this scene, almost couldn't help but want to stop it directly. When he saw that Shi Mo quickly withdrew and only took about 1% of the spiritual materials and treasures, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Mo, does it require so many spiritual materials and treasures to set up the formation and restrictions?" But Bai Ze still couldn't help but frown and asked.

"What do you think? Don't you know how big the Heavenly Palace is? To set up such a large-scale formation, how could the required spiritual materials be so few?" Shi Mo rolled his eyes at him and then said:
"If you think I've used too many spiritual materials, then I can reduce the scope of the layout. That way, I won't have to worry so much. However, if the effect of gathering the power of the stars in the sky doesn't meet your Demon King's requirements, then I'll be fine."

Before Shi Mo could finish, Bai Ze said, "Alright, if you want to use more spiritual materials, then use more! Now can we start setting up the formation?"

"Don't be impatient! The materials for setting up the formation have not been gathered yet! Come on, take me to the ancient starry sky," Shi Mo urged.

Bai Ze had no choice but to take Shi Mo away from the Heavenly Treasure House and then pass through the thirty-three heavens to the vast starry sky.

"Let's go! The vast starry sky will take some effort to find enough star stones that I need. We have to speed up," Shi Mo said as he flew towards a meteorite belt in front of him as if he was familiar with the route.

Bai Ze had no choice but to follow, only to see Shi Mo searching and exploring for a while, picking and choosing some star stones from the meteorite belt.

Next, Shi Mo took Bai Ze to travel almost all over the ancient starry sky. If all the star minerals they took away were put together, they could probably be piled up into several mountains.

Bai Ze became more and more suspicious that Shi Mo had come here specifically to plunder the star spiritual materials belonging to the demon clan.

"Hmph! This greedy Shi Mo," Di Jun, who received the report from Bai Ze's spiritual consciousness in the Demon King Palace, couldn't help but feel angry.

"If he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to take away a large number of spiritual materials and treasures from my demon clan, he must be alive to take them back," Donghuang Taiyi on the side could not help but show murderous intent in his eyes.

Di Jun, with a sullen face, sent a voice message to Bai Ze, "Hurry him up. He's already spent a long time selecting the spiritual materials."

Under Bai Ze's repeated urging, Shi Mo reluctantly left the vast starry sky.

Afterwards, Shi Mo took Bai Ze on a tour of the thirty-three heavens of the Heavenly Palace. Finally, after some hesitation, he began to formally set up formations and restrictions in various places in the Heavenly Palace.
