Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 295: Attracting Everyone's Attention, Ambassador Cheng's Immortality, Limitless Future Achievements, and the Problem with the Celestial Ring.

The Hall of Heavenly Enlightenment.

Outside the huge glass window.

The misty rain made it seem like a dream, and the distant scenery appeared blurry.

Inside the hall.

The attendants were busy with their tasks, occasionally whispering to each other.

"The Lord of the Hall said that with the start of the war and the connection between the two realms, the laws of heaven and earth have been disrupted. Rain will be scarce for the next few decades or even hundreds of years."

"I heard that in a recent battle, more than three hundred Xuan Masters, five thousand Xuan Attendants, along with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of ordinary people, fell into the enemy's trap and were completely wiped out."

"So tragic! But they say that the initial battles are always the most intense. Once we stabilize our position, the casualties should decrease significantly."

"Perhaps in a few years, as the scale of the war expands, we will also be conscripted to the battlefield."

Speaking of this.

The enthusiasm of the attendants' conversation diminished.

The stone hall returned to silence.

After a while.

One of the attendants glanced outside the hall and suddenly broke the silence.

"Everyone, what do you think that ambassador is up to in the Spirit Oak Demon Forest? The Inner Court actually issued an official notice."

"I don't know! Last time, he caused a spiritual tide with his condensed Xuan Seal. This time, it's probably something big."

"That kid seems to be fooling around all day, even flying a toy in the sky like a child. I didn't expect him to be secretly doing something important."

"What do you mean 'like a child'? He's only sixteen years old, practically still a child!"

"Ambassador Cheng is even younger than my grandson. Although he's a bit more mischievous, it's not hard to understand."

"I've been observing him for so many days, and I can tell that Ambassador Cheng's focus is not on cultivation. If he put a little more effort into it, his achievements would definitely be beyond this."

"Genius! It's normal for them to be different from ordinary people."

In fact.

Until today.

The attendants of the Hall of Heavenly Enlightenment always had mixed opinions when discussing Ambassador Cheng privately, often leaning towards criticism rather than praise.

This was actually a very delicate mentality.

After all, he would catch a fish every three days and dry the net for two days, yet he managed to condense an extremely powerful Xuan Seal that no one had ever heard of before. On the other hand, they had been diligently studying for months or even years, only comprehending a common Universal Truth Seal.

The psychological gap was too great.

Xuan Attendants were also human beings with flesh and blood, so it was natural for them to feel jealous.

But today.

With the spread of the notice from the Inner Court, the wind suddenly changed.

"Clap! Clap!"

A gust of wind brought a wave of cold rain, tapping on the glass window and leaving tear-like wet marks on its smooth surface.

Another attendant glanced at it and said with anticipation, "I wonder when Ambassador Cheng's experiment will begin?"

No one answered.

At this moment.

A cold and clear female voice suddenly floated over, "The experiment should start within five minutes."

With this sound, a slender and beautiful woman, whose exact age was difficult to discern, walked slowly into the stone hall.

The edge of her black robe was adorned with many silver-threaded spirit leaf patterns.

She was the Lord of the Hall, Xuan Master Lan Jiayao.

The attendants immediately lined up and saluted, "Greetings, Lord of the Hall!"

Everyone suddenly realized that even the Xuan Masters who rarely visited the hall had come specially this time. It seemed that this experiment was no small matter.

Lan Jiayao nodded lightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a strange and elusive feeling. The words she spoke surprised the attendants.

"The Palace Master has been paying attention to the Spirit Oak Demon Forest for several days."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the attendants who had criticized Ambassador Cheng the most changed slightly, and they became somewhat uneasy.

Lan Jiayao walked gracefully towards the glass window, continuing to show her subordinates the information gap and her close relationship with the Palace Master.

"The Palace Master also said that if Ambassador Cheng's experiment is successful, our Xuan Palace will have an impressive card to play."

The attendants were even more astonished.

Is this experiment really that powerful?

Just a mere mysterious master, can we really describe them as having a "mysterious palace's prestige"? That's too exaggerated!

Although many people are skeptical, the speaker is the Lord Xuan Shi, and the information comes from the Lord Palace, so no one dares to question it.

Lan Jiayao walked slowly to the front of the large glass, and her figure stopped.

She stared at the rain marks on the glass and lightly waved her sleeve.

Immediately, a dark wave surged.

The rainwater quickly gathered and solidified into a huge ice mirror measuring ten meters square in the blink of an eye, displaying the scene of a forest.

The image was extremely clear, as if it was being viewed from hundreds of meters away.

This was the ice-based mysterious technique.

And the face of this mysterious master was as pale as ice, with pupils surrounded by a cold mist. These strange physical features were naturally related to the mysterious technique.

A group of mysterious masters were stunned after just one glance.

Because every spirit oak demon and every tree branch on the ice mirror vibrated with a strange rhythm, and every leaf faintly emitted a green light.

If there were only a few or a dozen, it wouldn't be a big deal. Every mysterious master who mastered the wood spirit technique could easily do it.

But every single one of the thousands of spirit oak demons there was like this, which obviously wasn't an ordinary means.

Lan Jiayao stared fixedly for a few seconds, and then spoke as if talking to herself or explaining to her subordinates, "Even a master who specializes in the wood spirit technique probably can't do this. The Lingmiao Wansen Mysterious Seal is truly beyond my imagination."

The Lord Xuan Shi paused for a moment and decisively drew a conclusion, "If Cheng Ambassador doesn't die, his future achievements will be limitless!"

A group of mysterious masters nodded lightly.

To create such a grand scene that even a master couldn't match with the status of a mysterious master, wasn't it obvious?

*

Spirit Oak Demon Forest.

The anomalies here were even more apparent, and the sensations were even more astonishing.

The raindrops falling from the sky seemed to encounter an invisible barrier. When they reached a hundred meters above the ground, they would silently disappear.

The few servants who stayed here all felt a strange sensation of "overwhelming spiritual energy".

With every breath of air, they felt refreshed.

This was a strong sense of pleasure that permeated from every pore to the depths of their souls, far more enjoyable than the trivial matters between men and women.

Cheng Han sensed the strange tremors deep underground and suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the Void Worm?"

The servants snapped back to their senses and gave their answers one after another.

"Lord Ambassador, I have heard of it!"

"I have even seen a living Void Worm!"

"Yeah, those ghostly things can even speak!"

In the eyes of the servants, the Ambassador had never scolded any of them since he arrived at the Mysterious Palace, and his words were always gentle and warm, so they all eagerly answered.

One servant even told a story.

"Lord Ambassador, when I was in the fourth grade of middle school, there was a particularly severe outbreak of Void Worms one spring.

"A few Void Worms actually found a crack in the ground and drilled out from underground, somehow entering the school's mushroom farm.

"At that time, there happened to be several classes having lessons in the underground farm, and they were immediately attacked by the Void Worms.

"I remember it very clearly, before the principals arrived, three teachers and over ten students were bitten to death on the spot, and there were no less than a hundred injured..."

This tragic story left the servants silent.

Cheng Han nodded gently, "Since the establishment of the Mysterious Palace, every year we have been trying our best to eradicate the Void Worms within the Five Heavenly Circles, but unfortunately, they are endless."

He didn't say one thing - over the thousands of years, the Five Heavenly Circles had suffered countless attacks from the Void Worms, causing significant internal damage.

There was evidence to prove this.

The lowest level, the Wuhao Heavenly Circle, which had the largest area and the most population, had already undergone slight deformation.

There were clear records of this within the Mysterious Palace.

Compared to when the Heavenly Circle was just established, the amount of deformation in the most severe area had contracted inward by more than three hundred and sixty meters.

This was a direct result of internal structural damage.

Although the Mysterious Palace was trying to repair it, it was only a temporary solution.

This chapter has a lot of setup.

The damage to the military on the front lines of the war is setting the stage for the emergence of war machines.

War machines need to appear at a time when they are most needed on the front lines in order to have enough impact.

The section about the Void Worms is hinting at what the protagonist is going to do later.

Since something big is going to happen, it inevitably involves describing the crowd.
