Chapter 2579 - Every Citizen a Genius
In the plan to lure the enemy deeper, Tianming’s side only needed two real participants: Li Wudi and Lin Xiaodao. One controlled the Gladean Ruins and the other held command over the Flameyellow Guard Formation. It was the first time the two "elders" had cooperated.
Of course, moving the Sun away from the Myriadstar Zone still fell to Tianming. As soon as they made their decision, he immediately directed the sun away from Gladeus while running the cloaking formation at half strength. He was worried that, if he used it fully, the enemy reconnaissance ships wouldn’t be able to catch up.
Although the logic behind the plan was sound, its implementation required various contingencies.
Currently, within Yin Chen’s range of perception, there were only a dozen or so ships following the Sun. The enemy’s main forces hadn’t entered Tianming’s field of vision yet!
Ten thousand unowned nova sources had disappeared and a sanctuary-class world was born!
The explosive news would quickly reach Ebonia. How the various Infinitum Regal Clans would react was something Tianming’s group was anticipating. At the very least, it seemed that there was still no reaction from the ebons and the Ebonfiend.
"For the past few years, my grandfathers been deploying intelligence personnel. Monitoring the movements of a ship as large as the Ebonfiend is relatively easy!" The ebons’ ether-class ships had their paths tracked to some extent as well
"It’s been several days. Shouldn’t Shenxi Xingtian take advantage of the Gladean Ruins’ departure to come and directly apply pressure?" That was somewhat unexpected to Tianming and the rest. Of course, it would be even better if they didn’t come.
According to the original plan, the Sun would continue moving away from Gladeus, hiding deeper and deeper! The Gladean Ruins were currently nearby and the enemy definitely wouldn’t attack. Thus, Tianming was glad for the peace and quiet as there was something else they had to do!
The first thing, of course, was to arrange for the people of the Sun to enter the Flameyellow Bloodsoul and absorb the flameyellow bloodline and soul! Everyone was within the Sky Palace Formation, which made it easy to organize. Countless people soaked in the Flameyellow Bloodsoul every day.
Tianming could visibly see that their cultivation talents soared afterward. With the additional resources that Tianming had obtained from Gladeus, countless people were breaking through like crazy on a daily basis.
Tianming had been preparing for the Sun’s arrival from as early as seven years ago. Back on Gladeus, he had obtained a large amount of spoils of war from the ebons, which the Lin Clan transported to the Gladean Ruins. It included caeli, artifacts, pills, ores, herbs, techniques, battle arts, and more. The Gladean Ruins was practically packed with resources!
During this period, the Gladean Ruins happened to be present, so Tianming quickly unloaded the cultivation resources for distribution. With the Flameyellow Bloodsoul and the cultivation resources from fifth- and sixth-level worlds, he wasn’t currently worried about the future of the flameyellow descendants of the Sun.
The second task was related to the Gladean Ruins.
The first time Wudi had seen the Gladean Ruins, hed burst out laughing. "What’s this? The foolish eldest son of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb?" It was way too similar to the tomb.
"Brother Li, you’ve got it wrong. This ship of mine is the father of my disciple’s ship!" Lin Xiaodao said with a wry smile.
"The father has two heads but the son has nine?" Wudi asked.
"Isn’t that normal? There’s a saying, a small-headed father begets a big-headed son!" Lin Xiaodao argued.
"Oh, then it might belong to the neighbor next door," Wudi said with a chuckle.
Anyway, as the one with the highest concentration of the flameyellow bloodline, Wudi was the first to be sent to the Gladean Ruins by Lin Xiaodao to explore those closed chambers.
"In that case, it seems like I’m the most pure-blooded!" His confidence instantly soared.
"Godfather, purebred is what you look for in a pet dog," Tianming quipped.
"Get lost, you unfilial child!" Wudi glared at him, then placed his palm on the palm print of the nameless hall. His bloodline also entered the gate, which unexpectedly trembled.
Tianming was delighted.
Wudi heartily laughed and said, "Stupid gates, open for this grandpa!"
As a result, just as the gate trembled a few times, it immediately stopped.
"Flameyellow bloodline, low!" That was the judgment the Gladean Ruins made about Wudi.
"Me, low?" Wudi was dumbfounded.
Tianming remembered that he used to be thin.
"What’s going on?" Lin Xiaodao, who had just been excited, now also had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
The two of them looked at each other, tears almost welling up in their eyes. This was awkward!
"It’s alright, you two!" Tianming quickly said, "Godfather can continue to go to the Flameyellow Coffin and absorb the Flameyellow Bloodsoul. If you absorb more, won’t your flameyellow bloodline go up?"
"Yeah! How could I forget about that!" Realizing this, Wudi was like a gust of wind and impatiently returned to his Flameyellow Coffin. At this time, the others had already started absorbing the Flameyellow Bloodsoul. As the person with the highest concentration of the flameyellow bloodline, he hadn’t formally begun yet.
"I’ll have him come up for testing every day," Tianming said to Lin Xiaodao.
"Sure! Just coordinate with Master Chen. We can’t be careless in this battle and we need to think about the details more," Lin Xiaodao said.
"Got it!" All they had to do was wait for the enemy fleet to enter Yin Chen’s perception range. Only then could they confirm whether the enemy was truly catching up.
"No movement from the ebons?" Tianming asked.
"No," Lin Xiaodao frowned.
"To have such a good opportunity and not seize it.... They must have a sense of foreboding. The ebons have been too quiet these years." Tianming grit his teeth.
"The problem is, what cards do they have that we can’t figure out?"
The matter could only be put aside for now; after all, the most important thing now was dealing with the Star Hunters!
Time passed. About ten days later, Ebonia was already buzzing with discussions about the Myriadstar Zone. Some openly criticized Lin Xiaodao for his actions, but others believed that he was right to oppose the Star Hunters for the sake of the Myriadstar Zone. At the very least, he hadnt let outsiders take advantage.
And on that day, the fleet of the Star Hunters officially entered Yin Chen’s perception range, awakening the Yin Chens within their ships.
Regarding Yin Chen, the enemy had learned about Tianming’s peculiarities from the ebons, so they were cautious. Thus, even when Yin Chen was in their starships, they couldn’t guarantee hearing all the information.
Currently, they only knew that the enemy was equally vigilant in trying to confirm the location of the Gladean Ruins.
"It’s a bit troublesome. If the Gladean Ruins doesn’t go far away, the enemy won’t come," Tianming said, frowning.
"They can indeed endure, and they also have enough time to be patient. We need to think of a way to make them anxious...." Lin Xiaodao also contemplated. Since Ebonia wasn’t acting, they could still delay for a bit longer.
Twenty more days flew by. According to the original plan, the Gladean Ruins should have turned around by now. However, the enemy was keeping their distance at a sedate pace, showing no intention of getting closer.
Wudi’s bloodline had already reached the intermediate level, but he still hadn’t been able to open the Gladean Ruins. It felt like he was just one step away.
Another thing had left Tianming quite speechless: over the past twenty days, he witnessed Wudi’s rapid breakthroughs using the Flameyellow Bloodsoul coupled with his usage of cosmic cartographer caeli. The speed at which his cultivation was skyrocketing was almost like he was sitting in an astralship!
He was almost at the peak of the Sovereign stage! It probably wouldn’t be long before he could become an astral god and undergo a metamorphosis. Indeed, the Flameyellow Coffin had given him an immense fortune.
Many other cultivators had also made significant breakthroughs over the past few days.
"Originally, due to my growth, the omnisentient threads of the beings on the Sun didn’t contribute much to my strength. But in just twenty days, theyve brought me a terrifying boost. I should now be invincible against anything below cosmic cartographers when near the Sun!" Under normal circumstances, Tianming should only be able to fight the tenth astral phase.
And that was just the beginning! Who knew how terrifying these people would become in the future?
"Just some Flameyellow Bloodsoul and every citizens a genius! Were the flameyellow divinities so terrifying?"
