Chapter 514: The Wind Heart Stands Tall! The Dragon Pattern Bamboo's Anomaly!
Chapter 514: The Wind Heart Stands Tall! The Dragon Pattern Bamboo's Anomaly!
The howling gale blew fiercely, causing the clothes of the two people floating on the water's surface to flutter noisily.
Meng Yao, standing nearby, looked at Su Ping with suspicion. It was only through his mental manipulation that he was able to walk on water as if it were solid ground.
What was this kid's secret?
Su Ping paid no attention to his astonishment. Not only could he walk on water, but with his innate 'Underwater Breathing' ability, he could even dive into the water and stay there for three days and three nights.
He carefully examined the area.
At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything special about this place.
The Xi Long Lake stretched for hundreds of miles, and aside from some islands, there was little difference between this lake and the endless ocean.
However, the geographical location here was indeed excellent.
The reason was simple; this place was not particularly far from the shore of Xi Long Lake, only less than two kilometers away.
Furthermore, it was not within the development area, but rather a quiet spot away from the bustling beaches and docks along the lake's shoreline.
It was a relatively secluded yet not desolate area.
Moreover, the area directly behind it, on the shore, was not covered in forests like the areas on either side of the main road.
Instead, it faced the mouth of the Lingxi River where it flowed into Xi Long Lake.
Here, the flow of wind energy was extremely lively, and although the wind element power was not as wild as on the boundless sea, overall, it blended with the terrain of Wind Island, concentrating it even more.
The terrain of Wind Island, hidden within, might be able to connect with this place.
Additionally, there was one more thing.
If the angle of Wind Island were adjusted, the Water Vortex could completely divide the Lingxi River and Xi Long Lake, utilizing the wind element to influence any powerful aquatic beasts in Xi Long Lake and keep them completely separated.
This would eliminate the possibility of entering the Lingxi River.
Of course, there were both advantages and disadvantages to this.
Firstly, there was already a navy beastmaster legion guarding Xi Long Lake, making it very difficult for wild aquatic beasts above the Sovereign rank to appear.
So, this defense could be considered an added precaution.
Secondly, if it were completely sealed off, although the Lingxi River flowed through several provinces and there were still many aquatic pets underwater, without an entry point, it would inevitably reduce the number of fish bites in the area directly connected to Xi Long Lake for a period of time.
This would undoubtedly be a loss.
Ever since the Rainbow Coral Worm evolved into the Rainbow Jade Butterfly, Su Ping had not taken any Rainbow Jade, and it was still in the Water Heart. It was clear that the Rainbow Jade had an even greater attraction to underwater pets, and the Water Heart's self-fishing never had a chance of coming up empty.
It was undoubtedly the best place for the Water Heart to gather wealth.
Thinking of this, Su Ping dismissed this possibility.
Meng Yao, however, didn't care about these things and pointed to the anchor:
"Su Ping, this is the spot.
I used a wind compass to have the Wavebreaker detect it, and I even sorted out the direction of the wind flow. I modified the two places where the Xi Long Lake and Lingxi River connect to the shore, also in preparation for the lightning pool and sword-cleaning pool we mentioned.
At the same time, some internal modifications to the Water Heart will also begin. You, kid, better get a move on and work hard!"
Su Ping was speechless.
Currently, the only water-type pet he had was the Hundred Rivers, and even that one didn't have a direction. There hadn't been any breakthroughs with the Hundred Rivers either, so even if he wanted to work hard, he couldn't do anything.
However, it had to be said that Meng Yao had done a thorough job.
If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely repay this person.
With this in mind, Su Ping slowly took out the leaf from the World Tree.
Now that he knew the value of this item, Su Ping was even more careful with it.
In fact, Su Ping even regretted letting the World Tree Leaf shrink the Wind Island.
The Wind Island was indeed very precious, and compared to ordinary Spirit-level resources, these pure natural creations held even greater value.
However, they were still not as valuable as the leaves of the World Tree.
If this leaf suffered any loss, it would be a huge loss.
Su Ping slowly communicated with his mental power, and the mark of the World Tree on his palm once again glowed with light.
Then, the World Tree leaf, just like before,
emitted a jade-green light, accompanied by the power of space, and rose into the air, slowly expanding.
Then, the giant World Tree leaf slowly descended.
The power of space was extremely mysterious.
Ripples of space appeared around the Wind Island, causing the originally palm-sized Wind Island to grow as it faced the wind.
Then, it slowly landed on the vast, empty Xi Long Lake.
There was no surging water as imagined, no upheaval of heaven and earth.
Not even a particularly large splash appeared.
This Wind Island, along with the coral reef slabs beneath the island, completely merged with the vast Xi Long Lake.
It was as if it had always belonged there.
This made Su Ping finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He had been genuinely afraid, fearing that if he wasn't careful, the World Tree Leaf would undergo some change, and the naturally formed wind eye valley on Wind Island would be destroyed.
It was a well-known fact that even the slightest change could potentially disrupt the vortex of the Hurricane Eye, a Transcendent Skill that had found its perfect understanding ground on this island. Now, with the island's value significantly diminished, it was clear that the World Tree was indeed as formidable as its origins suggested.
Apart from the Hurricane Sprites, which had already disappeared into Su Ping's Beastmaster Space, the only other living beings on the island were plants, and even they remained untouched. Not a single blade of grass was out of place.
Upon closer inspection, it made sense. If Su Ping's guess was correct, the vast blank space outside of Yunnan-Tibet, resembling a city in size, was likely created by the World Tree's relocation. Even the lowest-ranked Common-level beasts like the Green Ant Moss in that forest were unharmed, indicating that the island was indeed free from danger.
As Su Ping gazed at the slowly retracting World Tree, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. As expected, after this use, the leaves of the World Tree had lost some of their luster.
It was evident that such a heavenly ability, capable of moving mountains and filling seas without consuming energy, could not be used without limits.
Even though Su Ping had anticipated this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
This ability was truly heaven-defying! With it, he could directly move any desirable object or location to his home.
For someone like Su Ping, who preferred a permanent solution, it was an invaluable treasure.
After carefully storing it away, Su Ping leaped onto the island, now the Wind Heart of the Heart of All Spirits.
All that was left was to set up a monument with his name on it, claiming the island as his own.
Although he had no knowledge of Wind-type cultivation or beasts, it didn't matter.
The same was true for the Water Heart. But since this would soon be his own place, he needed to prepare accordingly.
At the very least, he had to protect the Hurricane Eye's vortex from accidental damage.
Some resources, like the Hard Earth Mana Potion, were unsuitable for this purpose. Their solidified shells would cause fluctuations and changes in the wind's path, which was unacceptable.
During this time, Su Ping had given it some thought.
The Emperor-level Earth-type resources, 'Earth Root' and 'Earth Pulse Essence', both of which condensed land and stones from the Earth's pulse, were the solution.
Typically, these resources were used to enhance the physique of Earth element beasts, such as his own giant stone spirit, 'Taishan,' who loved to sleep soundly.
However, when used in the soil, they had similar, if not more direct, effects on the surrounding land.
With these resources, after a period of nourishment and digestion, even attacks from Sovereign-level beasts would likely struggle to damage the incredibly hard stones.
At that point, Su Ping could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition to these Earth-type resources, there were also some Wind-type ones, but they couldn't directly affect the Hurricane Eye's vortex. Instead, they would increase the concentration of Wind-type energy on the island.
With this in mind, Su Ping summoned the Wind Element Sprites that had been languishing in his Beastmaster Space.
There were no Wind-type element terrains in his Beastmaster Space.
These Wind Element Sprites survived solely on the resources provided to them, but even then, they were in a state of extreme discomfort.
Now that they had returned to a familiar environment, they were undoubtedly delighted. Su Ping smiled at these low-level Wind Element Sprites, which posed little threat, and then proceeded towards the vicinity of the Hurricane Eye on the island. After experiencing the fierce winds akin to those on the ocean's surface,
he began searching for the ideal spots to bury the Earth Pulse Essence and Earth Root.
Meanwhile, about ten kilometers away, two ships slowly sailed by.
They couldn't possibly be fishing boats.
Private fishing boats were not allowed on Xi Lake, except for merchant ships that had purchased development rights on the islands. The only other vessels permitted were military ships used by the local Beastmaster Legion.
These two ships belonged to the latter.
As part of their routine patrol, the Ocean Legion had to be vigilant on Xi Lake, located in the western ocean zone.
However, at that moment, the two soldiers in the radar detection room were filled with doubt.
"Old Zhang, when we checked earlier, was there an island nearby?"
"How is that possible? There are no islands near the Xi Lake shore. The closest one is the Black Turtle Island in the north, which is the Army's training ground. Besides, didn't you know that the western shore is the mouth of the Spirit Stream River? There are no islands there. I've been patrolling this lake for three years, and I know every rock and turtle in it. How could there be an extra island..."
The young soldier, with a mischievous smile, sent the radar image to the other, causing the older soldier's mouth to freeze. He blinked and turned to look at the radar display.
A small island appeared in the scene, not particularly large, but even if it was tiny, it was still an island! Such a significant event was clearly no joke.
The two warriors exchanged a glance and quickly sent a message to headquarters.
Soon, the commander's instructions were relayed back:
"No problem, the higher-ups have already been notified. From now on, be aware that no personnel are allowed near the island. Also, be cautious with the beasts inhabiting this place, and avoid any reckless actions..."
Meng Yao's arrival meant that the Ocean Legion's orders were being carried out from top to bottom.
In just half a day, the Ocean Legion learned that an island had appeared on Xi Lake, and this island was affiliated with the Heart of All Spirits.
But Su Ping didn't pay much attention to this. After placing the Wind Core again, he didn't rest.
Instead, he finally set up something that the Heart of All Spirits had wanted to do for a long time.
The last time he retrieved the teleport mirror from the Dong family, it could greatly reduce the limitations of distance.
Now, after the Heart of All Spirits confirmed the existence of the Wind Core, the distance>, line 1
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 1)
If he didn't use the teleport mirror, even if he wanted to reach the Wind Core, aside from the inconvenience of the sea route, even if the fastest and highest-level beast, the Divine-ranked Wind Sparrow 'Great Wind', came to pick him up, it would still be quite troublesome.
A teleport array was essential.
However, there were indeed many restrictions on teleportation on Blue Star.
In the past, Sang Sheng had mentioned the limitations of spatial abilities like teleportation.
But Sang Sheng was not a Beastmaster specialized in spatial abilities.
Only one beast had half-spatial abilities, which was indeed much weaker compared to the Dong family's specialized inheritance in this aspect.
Thinking of the Dong family, Su Ping recalled the Mirror Ancestor, whom he hadn't seen much of after that incident. That Mirror Ancestor was so powerful that he could even connect to the Mirror Corridor-Reflection World through the mirror from Treehua City to the Heart of the Soul. He was likely one of the top-ranked Holy Spirit Beasts.
Su Ping still remembered what that Mirror Ancestor had said to him.
The Dong family had indeed helped him.
Especially that Mirror Saint.
Seeing this mirror now, Su Ping thought of the Dong family again.
Dong Mu Xuan had returned to the Demon City Academy to teach a few days ago. When he left, Ye Zhou told him on the phone that he was also going to Demon City.
Ye Zhou had already graduated, but he wanted to return to the Demon City Academy to continue discussing some matters with the professor who specialized in time.
Su Ping was still in Yunnan-Tibet at the time and didn't get to see him off.
Connecting the teleport mirrors wasn't complicated, but they had to be linked in a chain, and the distance between each node couldn't exceed five kilometers.
The Mirror Saint had only given him ten teleport mirrors.
The location of the teleportation was undoubtedly a top priority.
The location of the Wind Island was good, but it was a bit off from the Heart of Earth. Fortunately, it could barely touch the border.
Undoubtedly, from the Heart of Wood to the Heart of Wind, it took six teleport mirrors, although these six mirrors also connected the hubs of the Heart of Water and the Spirit Stream River, as well as many hubs in the Heart of Earth, such as the Origin Heart and the Sand Heart, which were relatively large entry areas.
Even so, the remaining four mirrors were still insufficient.
Not to mention the Heart of Water, the Buddha Palm Cliffs where the Heart of Wood and the Heart of Wind intersected, and the interior of the Heart of the Soul, these places would definitely need to be covered, right?
These teleport mirrors connected the vast Heart of All Spirits into a thoroughly interconnected spider web.
Of course, to maintain this spider web, after a certain number of uses, some spatial resources were needed to maintain it.
Fortunately, Su Ping's Beastmaster space had some spatial resources.
After setting up everything, the sky had already turned pitch black.
Su Ping, who finally had a chance to rest, hadn't even taken a sip of water when he received another message that kept him busy.
It was still the Heart of the Forest, where there were the most beasts.
But this time, it wasn't about those extinct Plant-type beasts that troubled him.
It was that strange Dragon Pattern Bamboo.
This little thing had secretly reported and pledged its loyalty, and after finally tasting dragon blood, Su Ping shamelessly asked Zhu Hong for a small bottle before he left for the Imperial Capital.
He didn't pay attention to the needs of the Shangshan Water Dragon or Qin Erlong's Wood Dragon. Compared to these two, Zhu Hong's Forest Dragon was the most compatible with the Dragon Pattern Bamboo in terms of attributes.
And indeed, after feeding it a drop of the Forest Dragon's essence blood every day for the past few days,
The situation with the Dragon Pattern Bamboo, as reported by a dedicated person every day, finally showed unusual behavior just ten minutes ago.
