**Chapter 725: Unexpected Harvest**
Just as Jie Ming was about to sink his spiritual power into the basic theoretical frawork of the Reflection Dinsion projected by the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, his movents suddenly halted. His attention shifted away from the pale blue light screen before him and slowly turned inward toward his internal cave heaven.
After years of natural expansion, the cave heaven space had grown to a considerable scale.
Mountains and rivers stretched across the landscape, with mineral veins and spiritual plants divided into distinct zones. Several automated factories and backup production lines for the black giant incubation pools were also placed in separate areas. The entire cave heaven was orderly and well-organized, resembling a small world of its own.
In the most remote corner of the cave heaven, he spotted the group of dragonn he had casually tossed inside earlier.
It truly had been “casual.”
At the ti, the old dragonman had activated his final asure, with red light surging from underground. Jie Ming had conveniently used spatial teleportation to package up the entire town’s dragonn and take them away. After the battle ended, he had been in a hurry to analyze Suoyuan’s law structure and had completely forgotten about this batch of dragonn inside his internal cave heaven.
Now, they were huddled behind a makeshift wind-blocking wall built from rubble.
The adult dragonn encircled the young ones in the center, their dragon wings overlapping to form a crude shelter.
Hundreds of vertical pupils stared uniformly upward at the incomprehensible light source above the cave heaven in the dim light, their eyes filled with confusion and fear. They had no idea where they were.
They didn’t know what had happened.
They only knew that the ground beneath their feet had suddenly vanished, and then they had appeared here.
Jie Ming fell silent at the sight.
“Uh… what is this? An unexpected harvest?”
After thinking for only a mont, Jie Ming decisively decided to make use of these dragonn.
Their numbers were not small. While they couldn’t compare to the tentacle tree civilization’s scale of hundreds of billions, dragonn had long lifespans and strong individual strength. Adult dragonn generally reached the third or fourth level, and those with high bloodline concentration could even touch the threshold of the sixth level.
Moreover, they had lived under Wizard Broadleaf rule for several centuries and had at least adapted to the most basic rules of civilized races.
It would be a real waste not to use them.
Jie Ming casually activated the laboratory’s voice transmission array and summoned the nearest black giant priest.
Soon, several black giant priests specializing in internal plane affairs scheduling hurried over.
The black giant’s vertical mouth on his chest opened slightly. Dark golden patterns were evenly distributed across both sides of his body. His steps were much lighter than those of ordinary black giants, clearly indicating greater proficiency in administration and coordination rather than pure combat.
“Go find an area and settle this batch of newly arrived dragonn.” Jie Ming raised his hand and drew a light screen in the air, synchronizing the number and basic physiological paraters of the dragonn in his internal cave heaven. “Transform the environnt according to dragonman plane standards. Atmospheric composition, gravity, and light cycle all need adjustnt. They are currently in my internal cave heaven. I will teleport them directly to the settlent area you designate shortly.”
The black giant priests bowed in acknowledgnt. Their chest vertical mouths opened slightly as low vibrating sounds rang out.
“Administrative affiliation and authority level of the settlent area?”
“Temporarily set as second-tier vassal race, sa level as the tentacle trees.” Jie Ming paused briefly before adding, “Specific long-term managent will be handled through the artificial human administrative network. First, set up the basic infrastructure.”
At this point, Jie Ming considered the current situation and continued:
“The place they used to live was destroyed, so they may be sowhat panicked. The first batch of supplies will be distributed according to the new containnt standards.”
The priests nodded and turned to make arrangents with the others.
After handling the dragonn’s placent, Jie Ming looked toward the only black giant priest still remaining here.
He had been asked to stay behind.
In the corner, the activated test tube was sitting on the black giant priest’s shoulder.
Several decorative patterns engraved with alchemy technique now adorned its quartz tube body—additions from the priest, apparently.
Upon seeing Jie Ming enter, it imdiately jumped down from the priest’s shoulder, took small quick steps to the edge of the workbench, tilted its tube body upward, and waved at him. It didn’t hit him this ti.
Jie Ming glanced down at it, then at the black giant priest.
The priest’s chest vertical mouth opened slightly, and a low vibrating sound followed:
“After you left, it ca looking for on its own. It waited a few days without seeing you, then started dismantling the laboratory door. After that, it began dismantling the culture tanks. I had no choice but to take it with .”
Under Jie Ming’s interested gaze, the black giant priest thought for a mont and continued describing the changes during this period:
“It has learned to operate the printer. It can print food and test tube racks.”
“But it cannot print test tubes… It tried, asured against its own body for a long ti, and finally gave up.”
The activated test tube seed to understand the words “printer” and “test tube” from the priest’s vibration frequency. It imdiately straightened its quartz tube body, crossed its arms over its chest, and struck a rather proud pose.
Jie Ming looked at it and quickly pulled up the previously prepared temporary enlightennt technique improvent plan in his spiritual sea.
The observations during this period had accumulated quite a bit of new data.
He took the test tube from the priest and placed it on the workbench.
The test tube took two steps across the surface and looked up at him.
Jie Ming pressed down on its slightly swaying tube body and activated his True-False Void-Piercing Pupil to scan it once.
Two more lines had been added to the information annotations: Activated State Stability Assessnt and Consciousness Complexity Curve.
Enlightennt technique effect decay rate: zero.
The enlightennt effect had not decayed, but it didn’t seem to have strengthened either?
Yet its intelligence had visibly improved…
Jie Ming quickly recorded this in the experint log, then returned the test tube to the priest’s palm.
The test tube imdiately climbed back up the priest’s arm to his shoulder, found a comfortable angle, and sat down with its thin legs dangling and swinging. After dismissing the black giant priest to continue recording the test tube’s condition, Jie Ming redirected his attention back to his spiritual sea.
The ssy knowledge passively poured into him when he had collided with Suoyuan’s dragon head earlier had now been automatically sorted by the Entropy Brain’s talent. The fragnted information from Suoyuan was divided into several clear categories.
The largest portion consisted of knowledge related to dragon race bloodline runes.
This was the underlying technology Suoyuan had used when creating the dragonman race. It ford the fundantal laws governing their bloodline concentration, dragon wing morphology, scale color, bloodline inheritance mory, and a series of other physiological traits.
These runes were essentially a system that used biological carriers to bear inscribed laws.
Through them, Suoyuan transmitted portions of his own abilities to his descendants via bloodline as a dium, allowing the descendants to activate corresponding abilities when specific conditions were t. Jie Ming extracted this portion of knowledge separately and tagged it in his spiritual sea.
Once the dragonn were settled, he could try using these runes to optimize the stability of their bloodlines and their fertility rates.
Broadleaf had ntioned that the dragonn’s fertility rate was a cause for concern.
The complete version of the dragon race bloodline runes in his hands could theoretically solve this problem at the law level.
Of course, that was for later.
He withdrew his thoughts and directed his attention toward the Reflection Dinsion knowledge light screen projected by the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.
The amber recording crystal Broadleaf had given him had been fully read. Its contents were neatly divided into three modules arranged on the light screen:
Standardized construction and closure technology for dinsional channels.
Introductory principles of dinsional sealing technique.
Basic theoretical frawork of the Reflection Dinsion.
Jie Ming first expanded the basic theoretical frawork.
The Reflection Dinsion was not an entirely independent world, but a companion dinsion to the main world.
Their relationship was akin to light and shadow.
Every conscious being in the main world would generate corresponding projections in the Reflection Dinsion through their ntal activities.
These projections would intertwine, collide, and rge with one another, forming extrely complex dynamic structures.
Under certain extre conditions—for example, when massive numbers of beings simultaneously produced the sa extre emotion, or when an extrely powerful individual concentrated their entire will into a projection—these projection structures would gain a form of autonomous consciousness and eventually beco true Reflection Dinsion creatures. Ordinary ntal activities, such as daily joys, angers, sorrows, and scattered fragnts of thought, served as basic nourishnt for them.
The survival will contained within life force, however, represented a purer form of ntal energy.
To them, it was both a tonic and a poison.
It was a tonic because its concentration was high enough.
It was a poison because when life wills from different sources mixed together, they produced extrely chaotic interference that caused imnse pain to their perception systems.
This was also why, back in the tentacle tree plane, the chaotic life force absorption signal he had simulated could make that Reflection Dinsion creature exhibit avoidance behavior.
Jie Ming spent several days thoroughly organizing the basic theoretical frawork from start to finish before turning to the dinsional channel construction and closure technology. This section contained the most practical content among the knowledge modules Broadleaf had provided.
The standardized construction technology would allow him to stop relying on the crude Judgent Art extracted from the iron-gray dragonman’s mories. Instead, he could directly use the standardized thods optimized and iterated upon by wizard civilization over thousands of years to build dinsional channels.
Channel stability, activation duration, opening size, and energy supply—all paraters had precise control formulas.
The closure technology, anwhile, was a counterasure specifically designed against enemy dinsional channels.
By injecting modulated law interference frequencies into the channel’s interior, it would disrupt the pressure balance between the two dinsions and cause the channel to collapse from within.
The introductory principles of dinsional sealing technique proved more complex than he had anticipated.
The technique Serlas had displayed in the tentacle tree plane—sealing dinsional ripples into spheres—was rely the most basic single-point sealing within dinsional sealing technique. Higher levels included area sealing, which could reinforce all dinsional weak points across an entire region of space, as well as dinsional stripping, which could directly excise a small patch of space already polluted by the Reflection Dinsion from the main world.
Of course, with Jie Ming’s current law solidification domain not yet reaching sixth-level wizard standards, he could probably only truly master the first half of single-point sealing for now.
But the principle frawork was here.
Once he achieved law solidification one day, the subsequent content could be directly connected.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed. When he finally closed the last knowledge module, the Entropy Brain automatically generated a learning progress report that popped up in his mind. The completion rate for all three modules had reached the expected upper limit.
