Chapter 701 Water Attribute Rune Perfected! The Golden Bowl Transforms!
After putting the jade slip away, Chen Fan picked up the few special dark gold spirit stones and examined them closely. The spiritual energy structure inside these spirit stones was extremely stable, showing no signs of decay even after thousands of years.
The purity of the spiritual energy contained within them far surpassed any spirit stone he had ever seen. He carefully stored these spirit stones separately, and then categorized and packed the spirit stones that, although degenerated, were still usable into storage bags.
After doing all this, he stood up and looked up in the direction of the golden bowl.
The devouring of the golden bowl was nearing its end.
The water level of the underground river has dropped to the bottom of the riverbed, revealing large areas of moist, dark gold sand.
The mist on the river surface gradually thinned, and the water dragons formed by the mist dissipated one after another, turning back into mist and drifting back onto the riverbed.
The water-attribute runes on the bowl have been fully illuminated. The water ripple that was once so faint as to be almost invisible has now transformed into a deep azure halo, which shines brightly alongside the wood, earth, and fire runes, slowly flowing across the bowl.
With only one final metal-attribute rune missing, the golden bowl's five elements will be complete.
……
About two days later, the golden bowl's devouring was finally completed under Chen Fan's watchful gaze.
The last stream of dark green water was sucked into the bowl, and the riverbed of the underground river dried up completely, revealing large patches of dark gold sand at the bottom.
The fine sand, having lost the nourishment of its natural water source, quickly lost its luster, fading from a dark gold to a dull gray-white. The star-patterned array on the stone pillars along the riverbed gradually ceased its flickering and returned to silence, with only the lingering blue halo on the stone walls still slowly flowing, like ripples with lingering afterglow.
The golden bowl spun gently in the air and flew back into Chen Fan's palm.
Visibly, the water-attribute runes on the bowl were now fully formed, with the four runes flowing slowly across the bowl, radiating an unprecedented aura of harmony.
No longer are four separate lines, but they begin to echo and blend with each other, as if a complete cycle is only missing the last piece of the puzzle.
Chen Fan probed the space within the golden bowl with his divine sense and saw that a tremendous change was taking place in the world inside the bowl.
After absorbing the innate water source, the spiritual energy of the 300-acre spiritual field had become so dense that it formed a mist.
A small lake, several tens of feet in circumference, appeared on the edge of the spirit field. The lake water was crystal clear, and a thin layer of spiritual mist floated on the surface.
The lakebed is covered with a layer of dark gold sand that is exactly the same as the riverbed of the underground river. The water spirit contained in the lake is so rich that it is several times higher than the spirit spirit in the spirit field.
Several birds that originally perched on the dragon beard fruit tree flew to the lakeside, circling and chirping on the lake surface, their voices clear and melodious.
The spirit rice, sweet potatoes, and radishes in the spirit field, which were already growing well, grew even faster after absorbing this wave of water spiritual energy. The spirit rice ears hung heavily, and each grain of rice glowed with a faint luminescence.
The dragon whisker fruit tree has also grown much taller, with a canopy like a canopy, and several new seedlings have sprouted from its roots, their tender green leaves swaying gently in the spiritual mist.
Black King was still fast asleep under the tree, completely unaware of the changes around him!
Black Wind, who was secretly eating radishes, was startled by the water spirit energy rising from the lake. It pricked up its ears, glanced back at the lake, and then continued to nibble on its radishes.
Surprisingly, the entire Golden Bowl Space became even more vibrant after merging with the innate water source. It was no longer just a simple spiritual field, but a complete world in the making, with mountains, water, trees, and spirits.
This made Chen Fan even more eager to see what the Golden Bowl would look like after the Five Elements were perfected.
He then put the golden bowl back into his pocket and stood up.
Now that we have the innate water source, the next step is to figure out how to leave this underground space.
Chen Fan took out the map jade slip left by Yuan Lingzi and used his divine sense to confirm the route starting from the riverbed once again.
Upon closer inspection, the route begins at the southwest corner of the riverbed. From there, one passes through an area with relatively sparse spatial rifts and enters a dry culvert on the east side of the ruins. Following the culvert northwards, one can reach the edge of the underground space.
Yuan Lingzi clearly marked three dangerous spots on the map that required special attention.
The first is the three intersecting spatial rifts at the entrance of the underground channel. The activity cycle of those three rifts is extremely short. They will erupt simultaneously every incense stick's time, and you must pass through them within the three breaths during which they all subside at the same time. If you miss even one breath, you will be torn to pieces.
The second location is the remnant of a teleportation array in the center of the ruins. The spatial laws there are extremely unstable, and one needs to detour at least three miles to avoid it.
The third location was near the ruins of a stone temple on the edge of the underground space, where Yuan Lingzi had marked a blood-red skull symbol.
Besides these three dangerous places, there are more than a dozen spatial rifts along the route that need to be carefully avoided. However, with Chen Fan's word-fixing technique and movement skills, it is not difficult to pass through them as long as he is careful enough.
After confirming it once, Chen Fan put the map jade slip back into his storage bag, tucked Eleven into his waistband, took a deep breath, and strode towards the southwest corner of the riverbed.
Looking around, the spatial cracks in the southwest corner of the riverbed are indeed sparser than in other directions, but only relatively speaking.
Chen Fan used the Fixed Word Technique to extend his divine sense to the extreme, and the location and shape of each spatial rift were clearly reflected in his sea of consciousness.
It's not hard to see that there are at least a hundred cracks of varying sizes here, some as thin as a hair and others several feet wide, intersecting and overlapping to form a three-dimensional spatial maze.
He carefully navigated the cracks, placing each step precisely in the safest spot, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Some cracks appeared to have stabilized, but he knew that was just an illusion; the cracks' active cycle was approaching its breaking point.
Chen Fan must pass through before the outbreak.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the three intersecting spatial rifts marked on the Yuanlingzi map appeared ahead.
The three cracks were arranged in a triangle, no more than three feet apart, perfectly sealing the entrance to the culvert. Each crack was several feet wide, and inside was pure darkness that swallowed all light.
The activity cycles of the three rifts are intertwined, with one wave subsiding only to be followed by another, leaving time windows for time travelers that are suffocatingly short.
Chen Fan stood before the three fissures, using the Fixed Word Technique to pinpoint their activity cycles to the millimeter within his sea of consciousness. After a short while, the three breaths of time during which the three fissures simultaneously fell silent finally arrived.
A flash of light appeared beneath his feet, and he passed through the three cracks like a streak of gray lightning.
The hem of his clothes brushed against the edge of a crack, and the protective aura around him was violently shaken by the aftershocks of the space. Fortunately, he landed steadily inside the entrance of the underground channel.
