Zither Emperor Chapter 979 312

979: 312 979: 312 The Lord’s Mansion was engulfed in silence.

Sura and Haiyang stood beside Ye Yinzhu, smiling as they listened to him play the zither.

They had naturally listened to Ye Yinzhu play more times than anyone else, but each time, they still experienced that indescribably fortable feeling.

This was especially true for the “Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song”.

“Sigh—” Elder Guru exhaled deeply and slowly opened his eyes.

Although his face remained as aged as ever, his eyes had clearly changed.

The formerly cloudy eyes were now shining brightly, twinkling with faint light.

His plexion was ruddy, and he seemed to have bee much younger all at once; his spirit was pletely different.

“Thank you, His Excellency, the Zither Emperor.” Elder Guru gave Ye Yinzhu a deep bow, with a strong sense of gratitude in his eyes.

He didn’t regard his own life as important and was aware of his dire condition, knowing that he could leave this world at any time.

Ye Yinzhu had essentially extended his life.

Although life may not matter, from Guru’s perspective, living a few more years meant he could invest more energy into various research endeavors.

He had been hanging on because he had a firm determination in his heart: even in death, he wanted to wait until the New Zither Emperor was pleted, witness its ascent and see its might in action; only then would he be willing to die.

Now that Ye Yinzhu had given him a second lease on life, free from the threat of death, the mood of this elder from the Goblin Tribe noticeably improved, and he became excited.

His name would already be recorded in the annals of the Goblin Tribe because of the Zither Emperor, and now with more time, who knew what else this elder could research and develop.

“Elder, there’s no need for formality.

We’re all family here.

Actually, I should apologize for not noticing the poor state of your health earlier.

From now on, I will check on you every five years.

If all is well, living another hundred years shouldn’t be a problem,” Ye Yinzhu said.

Ye Yinzhu was no god; he couldn’t pletely change a person’s life to extend it indefinitely.

Even gods probably couldn’t do that.

However, his immense life energy could certainly help those on the verge of death to prolong their lives.

At that moment, everyone who had been meditating opened their eyes one after another, all smiling as they watched Ye Yinzhu help Elder Guru to his feet, and they stood up to offer their congratulations to the old guru.

“Everyone, I won’t stand on ceremony any longer.

I’ve just returned and called all of you here because there’s a very important issue I need to discuss with everyone,” Ye Yinzhu said without even greeting the others individually before diving straight into the matter at hand.

As soon as Ye Yinzhu spoke, everyone’s attention focused on him.

He asked everyone to take a seat and then walked to the center of the hall.

He said in a serious voice, “I have just returned from the Abyssal Plane.

First, I will briefly introduce the situation of the Abyssal Plane to everyone.

The Abyssal Plane differed significantly from what we anticipated.

Some aspects are better than expected, but others are far more serious.

After Little Dragon Lady and I entered the Abyssal Plane, we discovered…”

Ye Yinzhu was repeating the introduction to the Abyssal Plane for the third time in several days.

To his own people, he explained in even greater detail, not omitting a single detail, from their entry into the Abyssal Plane to their return, recounting the entire process for nearly two hours.

In his explanation, he detailed the environment of the Abyssal Plane, the races within the Abyssal Plane, and the abilities of each race.

He aimed to provide a prehensive understanding of the Abyssal Plane for the upper echelons of Qin City present.

After hearing Ye Yinzhu’s words, the expressions on everyone’s faces varied.

The three Supreme Elders from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans all showed resolute expressions, just like Ye Yinzhu was determined to destroy the Abyssal Plane.

To avenge their ancestors, the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans would not back down, regardless of the challenges they faced.

The Dwarf race seemed indifferent.

With only three thousand warriors, their role on the battlefield was less significant than staying behind to cast armor.

They would not be engaging directly in the fight, and the master smiths of the Dwarf race also clearly couldn’t offer any useful solutions to the problems Ye Yinzhu faced.

Zi and the other Divine Beasts were deep in thought, but they all furrowed their brows.

The Beastman Clan was most skilled at fighting, not strategizing.

When Ye Yinzhu was with Zi, it was Ye Yinzhu who brainstormed while Zi was the sharp sword.

It was only together that they achieved perfect synergy.

Only Elder Guru and Anya pondered thoughtfully, of course, due to the differences in their races, their lines of thinking also diverged.

Ye Yinzhu took a sip of the water Sura handed him to moisten his somewhat dry throat, “That’s the situation.

I’ve already mentioned the various difficulties we’re facing.

Faran is also researching solutions, but according to my estimation, it’s unlikely that Faran will e up with effective suggestions.

If anyone has any ideas, feel free to share them.”

Elder Guru might have bee clearer-headed due to the significant recovery of his life force, as he rushed to say, “Let me speak first.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded and made a gesture for him to proceed.

Elder Guru said, “After entering the Abyssal Plane, we mainly face two problems: the various toxins of the Abyssal Plane and the environment’s impact on the warriors.

I have no solution for how to help mages and some special warriors recover the magic elements other than fire, dark, space, and spirit in the Abyssal Plane.

It is almost impossible to change the environment of the Abyssal Plane.

However, regarding poison resistance, leave that to our Goblin Tribe.

As long as we have enough craftsmen to work with, I can solve that problem.”

Ye Yinzhu’s eyes lit up.

He knew that one of the greatest threats in the Abyssal Plane was the toxins emitted by the Abyssal Creatures themselves and the inherent toxins of the Abyssal Plane.

If that issue could be resolved, it could be said that more than half of the difficulties they faced would be dissolved.

“Elder, how do you plan to solve this problem?” Ye Yinzhu excitedly asked.

Elder Guru calmly replied, “Actually, toxins may seem ubiquitous and difficult to control on the surface.

However, in reality, we only need to isolate them from us, not giving the toxins a chance to invade.

Even the strongest poison won’t have any effect then.

Of course, my method can only deal with toxins in the general sense.

It can only diminish the effect of highly corrosive or penetrating deadly toxins to a certain extent, and not pletely neutralize them.”

Feeling everyone’s focused gaze upon him, Elder Guru proudly said, “Although I don’t have a specific plan and research yet, just give me one month’s time, and I will definitely e up with an effective method to address the problem.

Regarding the toxins, the body’s defense is the easiest to solve; we just need to use some leather-like materials for protection to effectively prevent toxins from invading.

Most poisoning occurs through inhalation, so our research will focus on filtering the air we breathe.

For example, heavily armored warriors can add a layer of leather or similar material inside their armor; although it will be less breathable, it will be very effective in blocking toxins.

In the helmets, we will add special air filtration devices, and this will provide very good protection against toxins.”

“Great, Elder, you truly deserve to be the foremost sage of the Goblin Tribe.

After the meeting today, could you please start researching with the masters of the Goblin Tribe as soon as possible?

As soon as we have the plan, we can immediately proceed with the preparations.

I will hand over the plan directly to Faran; if it is effective, Faran can pletely mobilize the craftsmen from various countries to start manufacturing.”

Ye Yinzhu hadn’t expected to receive such good news right after returning, and his spirits were immediately uplifted.

With the toxin issue resolved, the warriors of Ryuzakinus would at least be able to maintain over half of their bat strength on the Ryuzakinus Continent.

Elder Guru nodded, but then his brows furrowed, “However, there is still a problem.

We can block the invasion of toxins, but after each battle, the warriors’ external equipment will inevitably be covered with a large amount of toxins.

This requires using water or other methods for decontamination; after all, warriors can’t always wear their equipment, and they also need to rest.

The best method to remove toxins is clearly to wash with water, followed by certain disinfection treatments.

Ideally, Light Attribute and Water Attribute mages would work together—the Water Attribute to wash and the Light Attribute to disinfect.

Only then can our preparations be flawlessly plete.”

Hearing Elder Guru say this, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but fall into deep thought again.

Water and light, these two elements did not exist in that world.

In other words, even if they wore equipment researched by the Goblin Tribe, they wouldn’t be able to fight for extended periods over there.

And the expanse of the Abyss Continent was vast; the war would not end in just a day or two.

This posed a significant logistical challenge.

Even with the use of portals for transportation, it wouldn’t be possible to send every warrior who had participated in the war back to the Ryuzakinus Continent for disinfection, would it?

The warriors couldn’t be abandoned either.

Not to mention the emotional aspect, given the devouring nature of the Abyssal Creatures, allowing them to consume a large number of human warriors, who knew to what degree they would evolve.

With these thoughts, the good mood Ye Yinzhu had just moments ago was somewhat dampened as his face lost its happy expression, and he fell back into contemplation.

Just then, a voice like the sound of heaven suddenly rang out, “Yin Zhu, you needn’t trouble yourself over this, leave the other problems to me to resolve.”
