My construction materials are weird

The Ghost Ship was bold and skilled; no, it was more like its skills were high, and its hull was bold.

Or perhaps it could be said that the rougher the waves, the steadier the ship.

Instead of repairing each individual damaged spot, it directly and all at once repaired all the destroyed teleportation arrays.

Once repaired, it began to feast on the abyssal energy here.

It directly teleported over and landed in its mouth.

Clean and efficient.

All for the sake of receiving praise from its master.

The small cultivator it had blasted away was no good; he lacked魄力 (pòlì - boldness/initiative) and spent all his time studying its structure and the mysteries of its operation.

Don't think it was really stupid and didn't understand; wasn't he just after that weak little cauldron in his dantian?

It was fine if you studied it; if your little cauldron became stronger, it would still be a member of my treasure realm. I wouldn't mind acting as a senior to guide you.

But, there's always a but.

But, you, little cultivator, were too slow and indecisive, unwilling to do this or that, with absolutely no decisiveness.

I'd rather do it myself.

As long as I solve this, my great name will shine throughout the cultivation world; I will no longer be just a nobody.

Although the Ghost Ship was born late and didn't have high intelligence,

it understood from birth that its competitive pressure was extremely high.

There were so many big brothers and sisters above it, and each of them was incredibly strong, but there was only one master.

To gain the master's favor, it had to compete with so many perverted older siblings.

Who could understand its suffering, being born into such a cruel and fierce family?

Therefore, the Ghost Ship knew it had to fight, it had to become famous as early as possible.

This time was its chance to make its name resound throughout the cultivation world.

Supreme treasures also have their own attributes, which can be regarded as a kind of personality.

For example, the moe girl attribute is being scatterbrained, dreamlike, and illusory.

Lady White Bone's attribute is coldness, with a hint of阴狠毒辣 (yīnhěn dúlà - sinister ruthlessness), and she is very good at tormenting cultivators.

But she won't cross the line.

Brother Saber is cold, a cold man, a heartless personality, etc. Everyone has their own attributes; as living beings, personality attributes are unavoidable.

The Ghost Ship is the same. Its personality attributes are cunning, insidious, and a bit ruthless. It would be excessive for something born from the depths of an abyss to be pure and flawless.

Insidious ruthlessness and cunning are its personality.

Of course, this is still based on a human perspective. If the standpoint changes, if it's not a human standpoint, then there are no such divisions.

It's just nature.

Draining the source of pollution from a teleportation site is fast, but reconnecting the teleportation arrays and absorbing them all at once is a bit slow.

This slow process was witnessed by cultivators everywhere.

Therefore, the cultivators slowly seemed to understand the reason.

The news was gathered and sent to Sun Hui and the Venerable Minghui. With their profound wisdom, they quickly figured it out.

"Lord Ghost Ship is reconnecting the severed teleportation arrays and absorbing all the pollution sources within the teleportation arrays?" Sun Hui said with a sudden realization.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be it, Amitabha." Venerable Minghui's solemn face was once again adorned with a gentle smile.

"In other words, Lord Ghost Ship has solved many of our problems at once, both cleaning up the pollution sources and reconnecting the teleportation... In this case, we only need to do the follow-up work."

"Amitabha!"

Sun Tong began to consider the situations that would arise next.

The death or misery of cultivators is fine; profound masters are happy to see this, as without tempering, there is no achievement.

But the attitude of profound masters towards ordinary people is not like this.

Ordinary people already live precarious lives, struggling with poverty. If they are subjected to such pollution, there will inevitably be losses.

The losses of ordinary people are what profound masters are most unwilling to see, and are most likely to anger them.

As the saying goes, ordinary people seem weak and not very useful, but whether it is Xuanhuang or cultivators, they all understand that this is their foundation.

It is their reserve pool, the birthplace of talent.

If you want cultivators to grow stronger and emerge continuously, you cannot do without this group of people.

Only when the ordinary people are prosperous will more cultivators appear, more geniuses, and even monstrous geniuses.

The reason has been said before, so I won't repeat it.

No matter how much you emphasize it, it's not an exaggeration: the ordinary people must be protected.

"No, after this incident is over, I must continue to issue instructions to make them do all the necessary protection and never allow major changes to occur."

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Sun Tong decided to increase the intensity for the cultivators, and they must take it seriously.

Little did she know...

Xuanhuang followed the key and passed through layers of time and space.

The time and space here were very different. Xuanhuang could clearly feel that this was not ordinary time and space. There were many fragments, much like the Reverse World.

They were all fragments of broken and forgotten time and space.

They drifted in the river of time and space...

River of time and space?

Thinking of this, Xuanhuang suddenly realized, and memories from a long time ago suddenly surged into his mind.

"Isn't this the river of time and space that flowed around Nanshan when I ascended Nanshan before? Am I in the river of time and space?"

Xuanhuang suddenly felt enlightened.

The path opened by the key, or rather, this river, was the river of time and space that he had overlooked before.

It was just that he was watching from the shore of Nanshan before, and now he had entered the river.

"Sure enough, that explains why Qiao Liangyu hid so secretly, and no one has ever discovered his lair. It turns out he is in this river of time and space."

That made sense.

The Weird Gathering Place was hidden in the river of time and space. A place like this cannot be reached without the fourth stage, so no one can find where he is.

Xuanhuang was able to be here also largely because of the key's ability, and he was following the key.

If Xuanhuang were placed here alone, Xuanhuang...

"It's not that I can't survive, I just need to be careful."

Xuanhuang sensed it and said confidently.

After all, it was the river of time and space, the condensation of time and space. Xuanhuang was too familiar with time and space.

Don't think that his strongest is the three major source laws, but he is also very familiar with time and space.

No matter which of his treasures it is, they all have the ability of time and space. Even the Void Saber, known for its killing power, can be summoned and instantly descend. Don't think it doesn't have the ability of time and space, right?

They all have it.

Time and space were originally profound and vast, difficult to find and comprehend.

But this world is different. It is filled with fused time-spaces, and broken secret realms and dimensions, causing the fluctuations of time and space in this world to be extremely intense.

Time-space fluctuations that are difficult to comprehend and find are commonplace in this world.

It could even be said that every living being in this world, especially spirit masters, has some involvement with time and space.

It's just that the different environment makes comprehension less difficult.

Xuan Huang felt that he could survive here relying solely on his own comprehension and application of time and space.

He might live a miserable life, but at least he could survive.

If he used his other methods, he could exist here for a long time.

Recalling before, when he stood on South Mountain and looked at the long river of time and space, he felt a sense of crisis, a fatal crisis.

Now, he can walk here. This is a stark contrast of progress.

He has become very strong.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop!"

Just as Xuan Huang was feeling emotional, a voice suddenly came, from an unknown source and direction.

But every word pierced the heart, clearly transmitted to Xuan Huang's perception and soul, making it impossible to refuse to listen.

Xuan Huang inexplicably felt a chill all over his body, and a sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

"Boom!"

Before Xuan Huang could react.

The cyan light of the key suddenly shone brightly, emitting a dazzling light. The ubiquitous voice quickly disappeared, as if blocked by the cyan light of the key.

"Don't answer, don't answer!"

A very clear meaning was transmitted to Xuan Huang's soul, it was the key that conveyed it.

It was telling Xuan Huang not to answer.

Xuan Huang was naturally very obedient. To be honest, he was startled just now, and quite frightened.

He was just marveling at his great progress when a voice, probably from an old man, came.

It even came from all directions, everywhere, and even had a kind of charm that seemed to be calling out to you from the past, present, and future.

How could Xuan Huang not be startled?

He was also a little ashamed and embarrassed. It was really dangerous here. Although he could barely exist, the crisis here was also everywhere.

Just like the voice just now, he didn't know where it came from, who was calling him to stop?

"Master, this place buries too many unyielding obsessions of past experts. Although they are dead, their obsessions will not easily dissipate. They have been exiled here, circulating with the flow of time and space. Once you answer, these obsessions will quickly descend upon you, and unpredictable accidents will occur!"

Here, the key was obviously much more active than in the main world, and even had much more spirituality.

Obviously, the suppression of the main world not only suppresses the fourth-order strength, but also suppresses everything of these existences, including intelligence.

"I understand," Xuan Huang nodded.

He has a very good habit, which is to listen to advice and eat his fill, very obedient.

He wouldn't be reckless and disobedient.

However, he couldn't help but ask, "After descending, will there be a similar possession and rebirth?"

"This?"

The key was obviously stunned, as if it understood the master's meaning.

It had already recognized its master, and it was very clear how it went from broken to new. This master's foundation was too deep, the kind that was unfathomable.

Its former master, the Space God Ancestor, couldn't compare to it.

Not to mention the Soul Suppressing Stele, the bronze fragment that had been with it for a long time was also not simple, feeling even stronger than it in its prime.

However, this was just the least important thing to the master.

The strongest thing was the supreme aura that it couldn't even sense if it hadn't recognized its master.

In short, it was unspeakable, it could just secretly rejoice, this was definitely the beginning of the peak of its life as an artifact.

"It's just the destruction of everything by the descending of obsession, assimilation of everything, not possession and rebirth," the key replied.

"Is that so? Then it's not interesting," Xuan Huang immediately lost interest.

It was fortunate that the key was just a key. If it were a person, it would definitely have a bitter smile on its face.

It understood what the master wanted to do, wanted to trick and kill.

Let these obsessions come to possess, come on, if you don't come, you lose.

If you come, don't even think about running away. If you want to possess me, not to mention the mysterious supreme aura, the Soul Suppressing Stele will easily grind any existence that wants to possess the master.

Then, these ground-up souls can be refined, and you can quickly improve.

Unfortunately, there is no soul, no essence, only unyielding obsession and an undying heart, nothing that can be refined.

This is why the master's idea was dispelled.

"What should I call you?"

Xuan Huang asked as he followed the key forward.

Here, the key was less suppressed, and could better show its essence and its intelligence.

Unlike in the human world, where the suppression of heaven and earth was too great, the key was very sluggish and could not show its power.

"It's all up to the master's intention. But... I still hope that after I merge, the master will give me a name," the key replied.

"Well, that's not bad either. What is your current specific strength level?"

The key said: "Master, currently I am at the limit of the fourth order. After merging, I will reach my original level, which is the fifth-order Venerable level. But in the human world, I can only exert the power of the third-order limit... Even so, I still benefit from the light of the Soul Suppressing Stele, and can exist in the human world... If it weren't for this, I wouldn't even be able to enter the human world."

The key answered a lot at once.

Compared to his own treasure, the key obviously infers three things from one instance and will say some of what Xuan Huang wants to ask.

"I understand," Xuan Huang said.

As for what he understood, in fact, Xuan Huang didn't understand a lot either.

For example, why the Soul Suppressing Stele, after being re-condensed, can avoid the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and enter the human world.

Xuan Huang doesn't understand this, it must be some secret operation.

The others he understands, the human world is suppressed, the third-order limit, but the main body is a fifth-order Venerable artifact.

"Your wisdom is obviously different?" Xuan Huang said.

"Regarding this point, I think you have felt it?"

Xuan Huang nodded: "It's not the path of creation."

"Yes, your subordinate did not take the path of creation, or rather, it was destined at birth, and could not take the path of creation. If it was the path of creation, your subordinate would not be able to walk in the human world, even with the Soul Suppressing Stele's special permission."

Xuan Huang said: "Your other half is the Strange Clubhouse, right?"

Key: "Yes, Master, I have sensed it. My other half is the Strange Clubhouse, a new existence that has been distorted and transformed by the heavens and earth from the Space God's treasure, the Strange Clubhouse."

Hearing the key's answer, Xuan Huang said: "That is to say, you are taking the path of gathering the masses, or can it be called the path of karma and luck?"

After Xuan Huang finished speaking, the key was stunned for a while and said: "Master, your summary is very accurate, you can say that."
