Above the sky, the clouds that first appeared begin to dissipate.
Daylight reappears over the Great Wilderness.
Qi Ze, full of shock, gazes at all this and, without any hesitation, takes out the communicator from his carry-on bag and initiates communication.
The communication connects.
"Leader, I..."
"Did you also witness the anomaly?"
Xia Rock Tiger’s steady voice cos through the communicator.
"Yes!"
Qi Ze, accustod to using the communicator, but now unmasked, nods instinctively, thinking about sothing: "Did the other tribesn who went out also see it?"
"That’s right."
Xia Rock Tiger responds: "Before you, I already received communications from other exploration teams."
"Apart from that..."
"Right near the tribe, an anomaly appeared. We’ve observed it, and..."
Xia Rock Tiger pauses for a mont, not continuing, and instead seriously says: "Qi Ze, lead the hunting team back to the tribe quickly, and return for a council eting."
"We can temporarily abandon so hunted prey to speed up the journey."
"I understand."
"We are already on the way."
The communication ends.
Qi Ze waves his hand, further increasing the team’s speed.
...
Sacrificial Fire Tribe, tribal residence.
At the mont.
The clouds in the sky completely disperse.
The divine light descending from the sky cuts off its connection with the firmant, still remaining as beams of light, stationed where they were.
Near the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, there is a place where an anomaly occurs, precisely at the nearest water source to the tribe, a long river. As the divine light descends, it seems to cut the river into two, with most of the middle part being enveloped, the water surface inside emits a faint glow, appearing no longer ordinary.
The water source is a vital area for the tribe’s survival, crucial, generally allowing no accidents.
But now...
The people of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe discover changes here but lack the bandwidth to manage it, with tribesn stationed here and no further arrangents made.
Because...
Within the tribal area of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, there is a place covered by divine light.
That place is the central area of the tribe, an esteed area where others usually dare not approach.
Sacrificial Spirit Hall!
The divine light beam here is narrow, rely enveloping the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, and under the illumination of the divine light, what was originally a hall made of stone and wood now appears to possess a hint of sanctity, as if the large stones and branches there have undergone so changes, even the corners of the building are softer than before.
Outside the hall.
Led by Xia Rock Tiger, Qi Chuan and Ding Yang are there, along with other tribesn.
Qi Chuan holds the Priest Bone Fragnt, eyes closed, with characters flickering above.
After a while, he opens his eyes.
Xia Rock Tiger looks at him, with a serious expression: "Elder Qi, have you contacted Lord Sacrificial Spirit?"
Qi Chuan shakes his head.
He looks at the Sacrificial Spirit Hall enveloped in divine light and speaks solemnly: "At such a close distance, with the abilities of Lord Sacrificial Spirit, he is sure to sense my call."
"But now, my call seems to have sunk into the sea, receiving no response."
"It must be obstructed by the divine light falling from the sky."
Upon hearing his response.
Xia Rock Tiger furrows his brows.
Thoughts flash across his face, then he says with a calm mind: "Elder Qi, please continue to try."
"I understand."
Qi Chuan responds.
Xia Rock Tiger’s gaze turns to Ding Yang: "There is one thing I need you to do now, and I need an answer quickly."
"Leader, just tell ."
Ding Yang responds seriously.
"It’s not only our tribe that has mutated; it seems many places throughout the Great Wilderness have similar scenes."
"After the last sacrificial ceremony, our tribe made good relations with multiple tribes, Ding Yang, I need you to visit friendly tribes and see if similar mutations have occurred within them."
Ding Yang grasped it swiftly and showed understanding: "Leader, you want to confirm the situation of the sacrificial spirits in other tribes!"
"Exactly."
"The sacrificial spirits of various tribes usually reside alone."
Xia Rock Tiger speaks steadily: "If other sacrificial spirits face the sa situation, we can be sowhat reassured. With the abilities of Lord Sacrificial Spirit, he must have a way out."
"If sacrificial spirits in other tribes are not in their solitary places, I also need you to confirm if there are any changes."
"Understood."
Ding Yang nods solemnly, without any hesitation, turns, and strides away.
Xia Rock Tiger watches him depart.
"Elder Qi, once the various outside teams return, the tribe needs to hold a council eting."
"Whatever this mutation involves, the Great Wilderness likely won’t remain calm."
...
Great Wilderness.
In front of a divine light.
Shi Cang carries a bag, staring at the nearby light curtain.
The glow is gentle, not blinding, and upon close proximity, a warmth spreads.
"What is this?"
Shi Cang asks.
"I don’t know either."
The voice of the Enlightennt Stele rings by his ear: "Never seen it before, but it looks like so kind of fortune descending from the sky."
Beside Shi Cang, the Broken Stele’s shadow appears, seemingly sensing and observing the light curtain: "The force constructing this divine light is rather gentle."
"Looking inside, it seems to have transford into so kind of blessed spiritual place."
"Shi Cang, do you want to venture in and explore? Perhaps you might find your Dao Foundation Fuel there."
Upon hearing this, Shi Cang’s eyes light up: "Of course."
As his words fall.
The shadow of the Enlightennt Stele suspends behind him, its other areas dimming, only the characters for ’Enlightennt’ remaining, with the ’Enlightennt’ clear and the ’Stele’ hazy, soft light covers Shi Cang’s body.
"Give it a try."
"If you cannot enter, then my current repair level is insufficient to support you entering it."
Shi Cang nods and tries to take a step forward.
With a step forward, there is no sign of obstruction ahead, and shortly after, his figure disappears from the original spot.
...
In the Star Sea.
The starship sails towards the nearest Star Gate.
The Federation’s Star Gates are interconnected, and upon entering a Star Gate, the starship can independently choose a Star Gate to exit.
With Candle Kite piloting, Qin Jin, after thoroughly reviewing the mission details, heads to the living area rest room of the starship.
Taking out the Judgnt Badge, Qin Jin enters it.
During this ti, he has beco accustod to cultivating in the personal base, furthermore, heading to the Great Wilderness from the personal base adds an extra layer of protection.
This mission is undertaken solo and also involves traveling to other Star Domains; he certainly won’t waste ti during the journey.
Now, having completed his transformation, he is determined to progress further in cultivating the Celestial Cyan Technique.
Standing in the base, Qin Jin’s thoughts shift, and the profession panel floats into view.
In the next mont...
His figure vanishes from here, heading to the Great Wilderness.
