Chapter 1946 - 1945: Pearl Bomb?

Of course.

The surging Immortal Energy emitted by the Immortal Tree cannot be absorbed indefinitely; otherwise, it will backfire.

When everyone had filled their Dantian Qi Sea with Immortal Energy, they all stopped contentedly, leaving the remaining time for slow refinement and absorption.

Dan Taiyun slowly finished her practice, opened her eyes, and felt an indescribable tranquility. She said, "I’m now at the critical point of becoming a High Grade Immortal, just a step away from breaking through to become a Great Power."

Even though she has the "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" move, which can deal with Great Powers.

But her cultivation is a fatal shortcoming.

If she could break through to become a Great Power, the "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" move would become even more formidable.

"Qin Feng, stop immediately!"

She turned her head to see Qin Feng still absorbing, and hastily warned, "You can’t absorb Immortal Energy without limit, or your Dantian Qi Sea will explode."

"Really? But it doesn’t feel like enough..."

Qin Feng said as he continued his absorption.

Dan Taiyun quickly tried to persuade him again, remembering when she practiced the "Mandarin Duck Treasure Book" in the past, she found her Dantian Qi Sea to be unusually large, much larger than an ordinary person’s, so she could absorb more.

"But you really need to be careful, stop when it’s about full, or it’ll be dangerous!"

Dan Taiyun advised.

"Got it."

Qin Feng nodded and continued to absorb.

A minute, an hour, four hours... Ten hours passed, and it was already early morning. The night sky was dotted with stars. Dan Taiyun fell asleep waiting, but Qin Feng still hadn’t finished absorbing.

It wasn’t until the next morning, when the sun rose in the East, that Qin Feng gradually stopped his practice.

When he opened his eyes, they sparkled like stars.

His body emitted a faint starlight.

However, as he restrained his energy, the radiance on his body also disappeared.

"Not bad!"

Qin Feng felt pleasantly surprised.

Overnight, the Immortal Energy filled his Dantian Qi Sea, making him feel brimming with strength. This power might even awaken the next layer of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, who knows...

At this moment.

Dan Taiyun, yawning, finally awoke, saw Qin Feng finishing his practice, and stretched lazily, saying, "When did you finish? Why didn’t you wake me?"

"Just now."

Qin Feng replied.

Dan Taiyun was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in shock, "What?! Just finished? You mean you absorbed for an entire night?!"

"Yeah!"

Qin Feng shrugged.

"..."

Dan Taiyun looked at him like he was a monster, utterly shocked.

She, a High Grade Immortal, could only absorb for a quarter of an hour before having to stop, yet Qin Feng absorbed for an entire night. It was unbelievable...

"How long will this ’wakeful’ state of the Immortal Tree last?"

Qin Feng stood up, looking at the Immortal Tree radiating dazzling brilliance.

"Normally, about a month. Its Immortal Energy will spread throughout the Upper Realm during that time, after which it will fall asleep again."

Dan Taiyun said.

"A month... that’s enough!"

Qin Feng nodded.

"Enough for what?"

Dan Taiyun asked curiously.

Qin Feng shook his head and smiled, "Nothing, let’s go sightseeing first."

Next.

Qin Feng and Dan Taiyun began exploring the floating islands of Sky City like ordinary tourists, wandering east and west.

During their exploration, some suspected their unusual identity, but producing a ticket always put an end to any further questions.

Thanks to strict screening at the time of ticket issuance.

After three days, having explored almost the entirety of Sky City, Dan Taiyun began to grow weary and asked Qin Feng, "How much longer are we sightseeing? Aren’t we here to handle serious matters? We need to hurry; by now, the Sumeru Mirror might have already begun its battle."

"Aren’t we handling serious matters right now?"

Qin Feng replied as he sat on a grassy patch, digging a pit and wiping the sweat from his brow.

Dan Taiyun, puzzled, asked, "It seems like you’ve been digging pits on every floating island we’ve visited. What are you doing? Digging for earthworms?"

As she spoke, she looked on curiously.

Suddenly, she saw Qin Feng burying an Array Pearl in that pit!

"This is..."

Dan Taiyun was full of suspicion.

Qin Feng sighed; he’d been hiding this from her for three days, but she finally caught him. He said, "I can tell you, but you mustn’t shout."

"I understand, what are you burying?"

Dan Taiyun asked.

"Bombs."

Qin Feng shrugged and said.

"What?!!!"

Dan Taiyun exclaimed in shock. Seeing this, Qin Feng quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth and said, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t shout?"

After a while, Dan Taiyun managed to calm her excitement and asked in a low voice, "So you’ve been burying... bombs??"

They had been together for three days, and she knew Qin Feng had been digging pits—at least one on each floating island, and on some larger ones, seven or eight. Adding them up, how many bombs had he planted??

"Yes, that’s correct."

Qin Feng said frankly, "In total I’ve planted three thousand four hundred and twenty Array Pearls across all the floating islands of Sky City; you could say this place is full of bombs."

"You, you..."

Dan Taiyun was going crazy, stammering, "So your plan... is to blow up all of Sky City?"

"That’s part of the plan!"

Qin Feng said.

"..."

Dan Taiyun felt the urge to bang her head against a wall.

Blow up Sky City?

What kind of person conceives such a mad action?

Is he insane?

"Do you realize that Sky City is protected by forty-nine Immortal Mountains? Have you thought about the consequences?" Dan Taiyun asked.

"Of course!" Qin Feng casually shrugged and continued, "Even if I didn’t do this, they would still try to destroy me and the Lower Realm."

"..."

Dan Taiyun was left speechless.

It seemed to make some sense; whether or not Qin Feng blew up Sky City, the Upper Realm intended to exterminate the Lower Realm anyway.

Even if the reasoning was sound.

It still felt overwhelmingly shocking, and she couldn’t accept it all at once.

"Alright, let’s leave this place!"

Qin Feng suggested.

Their plan here was completed; it was time to move on to the next place.

"To where?"

Dan Taiyun was still in a daze.

Qin Feng sighed softly, his gaze turning solemn, "The Five Great Immortal Mountains."

"The Five Great Immortal Mountains?!!"

Dan Taiyun exclaimed again, realizing there were people around, and quickly lowered her voice, anxiously saying, "Why go to the Five Great Immortal Mountains? It’s a place beyond the Upper Realm, generally forbidden to anyone. It’s considered a ’Forbidden Land,’ or a ’Sacred Land.’"

The Upper Realm has a total of forty-nine Immortal Mountains.

All cultivation forces are usually located on these forty-nine Immortal Mountains.

But the Five Great Immortal Mountains aren’t among them!
