Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1372: Absorbing the Five Elemental Pearl
Chapter 1372: Absorbing the Five Elemental Pearl
Wealth nodded. "Mother, your luck is so good! The World Tree hasn’t been found yet, but you’ve already found several pieces of the Immortal Realm. This Five Elemental Immortal is quite impressive. But how come there’s no mention of this person in the Beast God’s memories?"
He looked regretful, and Amalia smiled. "Well, maybe it was an alias."
"Yeah, that could be it."
"Mother, hurry up and swallow the Five Elemental Pearl. This way, you can further strengthen your Small World. You only swallowed one fragment before, and it expanded by five thousand meters. Now you have several pieces!"
Wealth swallowed his saliva, clearly excited about this newfound fortune.
"Alright." Amalia was also a bit eager.
Every time the small world expanded, it was like a blessing from the heavens, benefiting everyone, but the one who received the most benefit was always herself.
She first sent Wealth into the small world, then allowed the small world to devour the Five Elemental Pearl.
After a while, the small world didn’t react at all.
"What’s going on?" Amalia sensed it and realized that the combined power of the five Immortal Realm fragments was too strong.
The Small World wasn’t yet capable of absorbing that much.
"Mother, try to break the Five Elemental Pearl into pieces again. Maybe if you devour it bit by bit, it’ll work."
Amalia shook her head. "I can’t break it apart again. The five pearls have already been merged into one. If I forcibly separate them, it will destroy the Five Elemental Pearl."
Wealth was a bit anxious. "So, what should we do?"
It was like having a delicious piece of meat right in front of her, but being unable to eat it.
The feeling was quite painful.
"All we can do is slowly absorb it. Actually, this way is better. If it expanded too quickly, I’d worry I couldn’t handle it. The gradual fusion process is also a way of adapting. By the time it’s all absorbed, my body will be able to handle it," Amalia sighed. "You can’t get fat in one go, and there’s nothing to regret."
She placed the Five Elemental Pearl at the peak of the small world and allowed the world’s power to absorb it.
The speed was slow, but the world’s expansion was noticeably accelerating.
"No wonder it’s a fragment of the Immortal Realm. The expansion speed has now basically stabilized at more than 150 meters per day."
Amalia roughly estimated that with five fragments of the Immortal Realm, if she absorbed them slowly, it should take about three months to fully absorb everything.
Maybe toward the later stages, it wouldn’t even take three months.
As both she and her small world grew stronger, the absorption speed would only get faster.
It might only take a little more than two months in the end.
"Come on, let’s go check on your Father. After helping the Five Vein Tribes solve the devil passage problem, we’ll go look for the World Tree."
After Amalia spoke, she was about to head toward the small house when she realized Wealth hadn’t followed.
He was tilting his head while staring at the sky above her.
She thought he was looking at the Five Elemental Pearl.
"What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the Five Elemental Pearl?"
Wealth came back to his senses and shook his head. "No, it’s just... I felt something strange just now. I can’t really explain it."
"As long as it’s not danger, it’s fine."
The two returned to the small house.
Amalia went into the inner room and saw Kenny Lin still lying curled up on the wooden bed, his handsome features exactly the same as when she left.
She probed into the Reincarnation Pearl in his sea of consciousness and found that the surging energy had slightly decreased.
"That’s good. No major problems for now. But why hasn’t he woken up yet?"
"It’s probably a kind of self-protective hibernation," Wealth explained. "But we must find a solution quickly. Otherwise, sooner or later, something will go wrong. The imbalance between yin and yang energy isn’t a trivial matter."
"Yeah," Amalia said while gripping his hand tightly, her brow furrowed. "He kept telling me he was fine before. And now look at him, unconscious and unresponsive. That guy is too reckless."
Wealth chuckled mischievously and said, "Mother, isn’t this a case of ’the pot calling the kettle black’?"
Amalia cast a sideways glance at him, and Wealth immediately shut his mouth obediently.
In the depths of the Reincarnation Pearl, invisible to them, a faint shadow of Kenny Lin seemed to be locked in a standoff with a dark entity hidden in the shadows.
In order to resolve the Five Vein Tribes’ situation as soon as possible, Amalia left the Small World and went to find Yeom Hwaryeon, asking him to arrange someone to take her to the devil passage.
Seeing how quickly she acted, Yeom Hwaryeon was naturally overjoyed.
The sooner the devil passage was dealt with, the sooner they could all find peace.
The Five Vein Tribes had suffered heavy losses.
They couldn’t afford another large-scale battle. But if the devil passage remained open, there would be no chance for them to recover and rest.
Yeom Hwaryeon entrusted the tribe’s affairs to Yeom Hwaun and personally took Amalia there.
The devil passage was located deep within the Oryeong Mountains, where devil energy lingered all year round.
The nearby demonic beasts had all been infected, their minds clouded after absorbing the devil aura.
Only some powerful demonic beasts managed to retain a little bit of their intelligence.
The demonic beast that Yeom Hwaun had tried to kill before—a Body Integration stage demonic beast—was nearby.
As they passed a cave, the demonic beast hid inside without daring to come out.
"Not going to kill it?" Amalia asked. She had heard that Yeom Hwaun wanted the demonic beast’s core to boost his cultivation.
Yeom Hwaryeon smiled and shook his head. "If he wants it, he can come back and get it himself. I can’t be there to protect him forever."
