The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 31: Pondering the Spiritual Treasure
In the Heavenly Palace, in the Demon King's Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and heavy. Emperor Jun, sitting on the throne above, was like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

"Demon King, what about the formations that Shi Mo arranged in my Heavenly Palace?" Kunpeng asked tentatively from the side.

Turning around, Di Jun looked at Kunpeng with a sharp and indifferent gaze. He took a deep breath and then gritted his teeth and said, "Destroy some of it, and try not to let the concentration of the power of the stars in the heavenly court drop too much."

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will come here myself to prevent you from destroying it at will and making it completely lose the function of gathering the power of the stars in the sky," Di Jun continued in a deep voice.

"Brother, we really miscalculated this time. I didn't expect Shi Mo to leave such a backup plan. It's not right to destroy those formation bases, and it's not right not to destroy them," Donghuang Taiyi said angrily and helplessly, gritting his teeth.

"I admit, I underestimated him," Di Jun said with a murderous look in his eyes. "Once I understand the secrets of the Zhoutian Star Array, I can rearrange it and no longer be threatened by him."

"But now that I don't have the River Map and Luo Shu, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to deduce the great array of stars in the sky," Di Jun couldn't help but look at Kunpeng beside him with more resentment when he said this.

Facing Di Jun's gaze, Kunpeng was also filled with frustration and thought to himself: "Why are you looking at me? You were careless, can you blame me? I also lost the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag. Is it easy for me to get a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

"Brother, Demon Master, what methods does Shi Mo have? How come all your spiritual treasures were taken away by him?" Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Di Jun and Kunpeng turned to look at him, their expressions changing in complex ways, and their hearts bleeding.

That look made Donghuang Taiyi look a little unnatural, and he almost wanted to slap himself.

On the other side, on Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun accompanied Shi Mo for some tea, chat and discussion, then said goodbye and left.

As soon as they left, Shi Mo also went into seclusion to ponder the three new top-grade innate spiritual treasures he had acquired.

Needless to say, the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag is one of the five innate flags and is considered to be the top-level defensive innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world.

Although the innate spiritual treasure with water attribute is not very compatible with Shi Mo, it is still very good to comprehend the way of water with the help of the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.

Moreover, after refining the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, Shi Mo also discovered that it could absorb the Three Lights Divine Water by automatically absorbing the water-attribute energy in the prehistoric world.

You should know that the Three Lights Divine Water is a treasure of the same level as the Xirang, which are the most original energy substances of water and earth attributes respectively.

In Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva saved the ginseng fruit tree whose roots were pried up by Sun Wukong by relying on the innate nectar that was slowly absorbed over a long period of time from the innate spiritual treasure, the mutton-fat jade bottle and the innate willow branches inside it.

The Three Lights Divine Water is much more precious than Guanyin's Innate Nectar, but it is a good thing for cultivating innate spiritual roots and healing wounds.

There were dozens of drops of Three Lights Divine Water in the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, which was probably all of Kunpeng's reserves, and all of them were taken by Shi Mo.

Moreover, the top-grade innate spiritual treasures are all extremely powerful and mysterious. Just placing the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag on Jiuding Tiecha Mountain can ensure that the water-attributed spiritual energy here is extremely pure and rich, which is also very beneficial to the growth of peaches and corn.

Compared with the innate spiritual treasures with energy properties, the River Map and Luoshu are more special. The complex and mysterious patterns on them are like the most essential and mysterious explanation of the way of heaven.

This set of complementary and top-grade innate spiritual treasures, one for attack and one for defense, is the best auxiliary learning tool for comprehending formations, prohibitions, yin and yang, the eight trigrams, and deductive arithmetic in the prehistoric times.

Therefore, Shi Mo's main focus was on studying the River Chart and Luo Shu. As his understanding and research deepened, Shi Mo discovered that the mysteries contained in the runes in the River Chart and Luo Shu had some similarities and connections with the earth vein network and the distribution of the stars in the sky.

Following these directions, the more Shi Mo pondered, the greater his gains became. He also felt that the Dao contained in the River Map and Luoshu was truly profound and mysterious.

Shi Mo was so absorbed in his research that he completely forgot about time until he was awakened by bursts of muffled thunder and some violent and chaotic energy fluctuations in the earth vein network.

"These guys have nothing better to do than to start a war?" Shi Mo said with a frown. After waving his hand to put away the River Map and Luo Shu, he directly escaped into the underground spiritual vein.

Under the Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, in the increasingly thick and dense network of earth veins, there is a red-gold earth core fire dragon entwined at almost every node of the network.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, beams of lightning appeared, penetrating all obstacles and landing on the underground fire dragons.

"Wow, did you agree to survive the calamity together or are you here to die?" Shi Mo, who saw this scene, couldn't help but stare blankly and said unhappily.

Jin Yan, who was also at a loss in the face of this scene, was relieved when he saw Shi Mo and hurried over to greet him: "Master, you are finally out of seclusion!"

"Nonsense! I won't come out of seclusion, okay? Then you can attract more thunder to strike my cave." Shi Mo glared at him and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Master, this is not what I often preach to them." Jin Yan said with a helpless smile.

"You preached to them? It was you who asked them to go through the transformation thunder tribulation together?" Before he could finish, Shi Mo glared at him.

"No, Master, I didn't," Jin Yan quickly waved his hands and said, "In fact, it was just a tribulation that I was about to overcome. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly sensed the thunder tribulation. That's why it turned out like this!"

"One tribulation triggered all the thunder tribulations?" Shi Mo was slightly stunned and frowned. "Could it be that the Heavenly Dao doesn't want them to succeed too many times? But looking at the power of this thunder tribulation, if nothing unexpected happens, they won't be in much danger!"

"Or maybe Heaven is too lazy to save trouble and doesn't want to let them go through the tribulation one by one, so it just throws them all together?" Thinking of this, Shi Mo had a slightly strange expression on his face. He watched the thunder tribulation slowly coming to an end. Soon, dozens of earth core fire dragons turned into human forms one after another.

"Hmm? That's weird, why are they all male?" Shi Mo was surprised again when he saw their transformed appearance. "Is it that Heaven doesn't want them to reproduce too much?"

"However, we have enough manpower for now," Shi Mo thought to himself. After the Earth Core Fire Dragons behind him came over and saluted excitedly and respectfully, he waved his hand and instructed Jin Yan:

"They will be left to you in the future. Teach them how to cultivate and do things. Oh, and those corns I asked you to take care of for me earlier."

When Jin Yan heard Shi Mo mention millet, he quickly said, "Master, millet grows too fast. We can't even plant it in Jiuding Tiecha Mountain."

"Then you should have accumulated quite a lot of seeds, right? Later, I'll find a place outside to use as a test field, and then I can try large-scale planting," Shi Mo pondered.

"Master? What is a test field?" Jin Yan asked with some confusion.

Shi Mo looked at him speechlessly and then said, "It's just a field to try to plant. Not only corn, but also some other acquired spiritual fruit trees and the like. You can also plant more."
