Chapter 739: 707. My Cage of Thoughts
"The method is actually quite simple."
"If any of you possess divine-level spiritual power and the Thought Cage Core, you can activate the Thought Cage Core and enter the [Thought Cage Horizon]. In this horizon, you can see all assimilators within your sight."
"This method was something I heard by chance. Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"Heard by chance?"
"Moluo Saint Shepherd has a collaboration with Golden Sparrow. To put Golden Sparrow's An Xizuo at ease, the method for identification was just conveyed to An Xizuo here, without minding me."
Xia Feng nodded. The method for identifying assimilators is indeed quite simple, but for others, it's an impossible task.
But for him, it was just right.
He truly has a Thought Cage Core.
Xia Feng looked at Mu Qingtong, who was still disguised with a mask, and wondered: "Fei, did you test for lies? Is this guy lying?"
"Truth."
Seeing this, Xia Feng pondered for a moment and handed the Thought Cage Core to Mu Qingtong.
The Thought Cage Core is a gemstone intermingled with various colors, its inner wall lightly adorned with purple mist.
Mu Qingtong covered it with his palm, and with a thought, the myriad of vivid colors within began to flow like a galaxy, utterly magnificent.
"There is indeed a reaction?" Xia Feng held his forehead, realizing that his previous research yielded nothing due to insufficient spiritual power.
Meanwhile, chaotic information floated in Mu Qingtong's mind.
[Thought Cage Core]
[Sourceحیاتن提ايادوراتیپ...My Thought Cage]
[Able to activate: Thought Cage Horizon]
[...]
"How is it?" Xia Feng asked curiously.
Mu Qingtong pondered, "The information about the source is very convoluted, mostly bizarre gibberish. I can only recognize five characters: '提' and 'My Thought Cage.'
提?
My Thought Cage?
Xia Feng frowned, My Thought Cage... It might be the true name of this ability, the origin of the Thought Cage Core and the purple mist.
Mu Qingtong's gaze shifted towards the distant Miao Master and Dipus.
The spiritual quality in these two showed no purple hue.
Indeed, they were not assimilators.
"I didn't expect you actually had a Thought Cage Core." Dipus spoke, his gaze thoughtful as he peered at the black-skirted woman with a Q-mask.
Miao Master shook her head, "Alright, since the identity has been confirmed, let's talk business."
She pointed to the Star River Waterfall, "Now, with the pope gone missing, to find the pope, one must master at least one ability from the [Moon Time Divine Domain], the Moon Attraction, to communicate with the pope."
The Black Moon Church's heritage S-Class, Moon God, fully known as [Moon Time Divine Domain], also called Moon God Domain, it is said that this ability is not only related to space but also involves the domain of time. It is a rare existence among known S-Class.
Extremely rare.
After all, time is an even more mysterious dimension than space.
Upon hearing Miao Master's words, Xia Feng nodded, though somewhat puzzled: "So, is the heritage Spirit Paper inside this strange waterfall? How do we get inside?"
"The heritage Spirit Paper, besides storing spiritual structure knowledge and Enlightenment Trace, is itself a kind of spiritual deity item, able to open a corner of Miracle Star River directly without consuming Yao Stone or rare spiritual materials, forming the present 'Star River Waterfall' scene, communicating with the Moonlight Star Domain in the Star Realm."
"The only cost is the lifetime consumption of at least a Spirit Master of Venerable Realm."
"Moluo used this method in tandem with the Star Descent Ceremony, allowing the Red Moon to depart from the Star Realm and swiftly descend into the Present Realm through the Miracle Star River."
"Why the [Moon Time Divine Domain] is not with the pope remains unknown."
Miao Master spoke gently, then looked at Dipus, "Having captured him yesterday, Moluo offered his lifetime as a sacrifice, using my soul as a guide, forcibly activated the Star River Waterfall, calling upon the Red Moon to descend."
"Now, as long as Dipus's lifetime isn't depleted, the Star River Waterfall cannot be closed, and Dipus can't leave either."
The information was vast. Xia Feng quietly listened and again silently asked Mu Qingtong, "How is it, is she telling the truth?"
Mu Qingtong paused momentarily, brows lightly furrowed, "Basically true."
"Basically?"
"She said, 'Now the pope is missing,' that sentence was a lie."
Knows? Xia Feng was surprised; it was intriguing why she lied precisely about this sentence.
Miao Master likely knows where the pope went.
Apparently, regarding the internal strife within the Black Moon General Court, this Holy Shepherd might actually know quite a lot about the内幕.
"So teacher, earlier you said, I'm the only one who can unlock the Star River Waterfall—is that asking me to forcibly stop the activation of the S-Class Spirit Paper to rescue Dipus?"
Cha Naixue wondered, "But how could I possibly break through such a divine descent channel?"
Miao Master shook her head, her voice gentle: "Nailuo-type Spiritual Artifacts possess a fixed Holy Release power. Nai Xue, once you've obtained the Holy Release power between Nailuo, the teacher has a way to have the Star River Waterfall undone."
Xia Feng generally understood. Currently, it seems, to learn the Moon Time Divine Domain, one must first rescue Dipus, and to rescue Dipus, we must first enable Cha Naixue's Holy Release...
Hmm... Doesn't quite seem right; even if Dipus died in the Star River Waterfall, it wouldn't affect the state of the Spirit Paper.
The only advantage of rescuing Dipus is the early opportunity to obtain (crossing out)... to borrow the Moon Time Divine Domain.
Once we think this way, it seems like a positive thing.
"Holy Daughter, I implore you." Dipus stood up, respectfully offering his hand towards Cha Naixue, his tone sincere.
Cha Naixue frowned, "But I need three B-Class Nailuo fragments and two A-Class Nailuo fragments for the Holy Release. I currently only have one B-Class and one A-Class, still some way off completing the goal."
"Now, although Burning Heaven Disciple Leng Xiu is also a Nailuo Spirit Master, enabling the Holy Release within a short time remains a challenging matter."
"These concerns are unnecessary."
Miao Master patted Cha Naixue's shoulder, "Over the years, haven't I been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of Nailuo Spirit Masters for you? Just recently, the teacher found a Nailuo Spirit Master, now detained in Babel Tower's core prison area."
Also here? Upon hearing Miao Master's words, Jiang Qiue instantly became suspicious, her fine brows lightly tensing.
Xia Feng too sensed something amiss; no, it was extraordinarily amiss.
When first arriving at Black Moon City, hiding out in a safe house beneath the Endless Snow Plain outside the city, Cha Naixue intercepted from Leng Xiu's hand an unknown cultivator and acquired a Dao A-level Nailuo fragment.
Combined with Leng Xiu, and Cha Naixue herself, as well as the one mentioned by Miao Master who is detained...
In total, four Nailuo Spirit Masters, all converged to Black Moon City within these days?
The presence of only three at first had Xia Feng and the others thinking it a coincidence, but four made it difficult not to suspect some underlying scheme.
Could it be that the Nailuo Star God intends to stir up trouble?
