Chapter 707: My Thought Cage
“The method is actually very simple,” said the Black-dressed Woman. “If any of you possess God-level mental power and a Thought Cage Core, you can activate it to enter the Thought Cage Vision. Within this vision, you can see all Assimilators within your line of sight.”
“This method is something I stumbled upon. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”
“You stumbled upon it?”
“Moro Saint Pastor and Golden Sparrow Flower have a partnership. To reassure Anxi Zuo of Golden Sparrow Flower, he just revealed the identification method to Anxi Zuo here, without considering my presence.”
Xia Feng nodded. The method to identify Assimilators was indeed simple, yet impossible for others. However, it was perfect for him. He actually possessed a Thought Cage Core.
Xia Feng looked at Mu Qingtong, who was still wearing a mask to disguise her identity. He thought in his mind, “Did Fei lie? Is this guy telling the truth?”
“Truth,” came the reply.
Seeing this, Xia Feng pondered for a moment before taking out the Thought Cage Core and handing it to Mu Qingtong. The Thought Cage Core was a gem with interwoven colors inside, with a faint purple mist attached to its inner wall.
Mu Qingtong placed her palm on it. With a thought, the solidified, magnificent colors within began to flow, resembling the Starry Galaxy, incredibly splendid.
“It actually reacted?” Xia Feng rubbed his forehead, realizing that his previous research yielded nothing because his mental power was insufficient.
Simultaneously, jumbled information appeared in Mu Qingtong’s mind.
[Thought Cage Core]
[Source: My Thought Cage]
[Activates: Thought Cage Vision]
[Details: .]
“How is it?” Xia Feng asked curiously.
Mu Qingtong mused, “The information about its source is complex, mostly bizarre garbled text. I can only discern five characters: ‘My’ and ‘Thought Cage’.”
‘My’? ‘Thought Cage’? Xia Feng frowned. ‘My Thought Cage’ might be the true name of this ability, the origin of the Thought Cage Core and the purple mist.
Mu Qingtong shifted her gaze towards Miao Shi and Dipus in the distance. Neither of their Spiritual Substance showed any traces of purple mist. They were indeed not Assimilators.
“I didn’t expect you to actually have a Thought Cage Core,” Dipus said, looking thoughtfully at the Q-shaped mask on the Black-dressed Woman’s face.
Miao Shi shook her head. “Alright, since their identities are confirmed, let’s discuss the main matter.” She pointed to the Star River Waterfall. “The Pope’s whereabouts are currently unknown. To find him, we need to learn at least one ability from the Moon Time Divine Domain, the Moon Guide, to establish contact with him.”
The Black Moon Holy See’s legacy, the S-class Moon God, is officially called the Moon Time Divine Domain, also known as the Moon God Domain. It is said that this ability not only involves space but also the realm of time, making it a rare existence among all known S-class abilities. It is extremely rare, as time is a dimension more mysterious than space.
Hearing Miao Shi’s words, Xia Feng nodded, but he was somewhat puzzled. “So, the legacy Spirit Paper is inside this strange waterfall? How do we get in?”
“Legacy Spirit Papers, besides storing Spirit Construction knowledge and Enlightenment Marks, are themselves spiritual divine objects. They can forcefully open a corner of the Miracle Star River without consuming Obsidian or various rare Spiritual Materials, thus forming the ‘Star River Waterfall’ scene before us and communicating with the Moonlight Star Domain of the Astral Realm.”
“The only price is consuming the lifespan of at least one Venerable-realm Spirit Master.”
“Moro used this in conjunction with a Starfall Ritual to allow the Red Moon to leave the Astral Realm and descend to the Real World quickly through the Miracle Star River.”
“As for why the Moon Time Divine Domain isn’t with the Pope, that’s unknown,” Miao Shi said gently, then looked at Dipus. “After Moro captured him yesterday, he used his lifespan as a sacrifice and my soul as a guide to forcefully open the Star River Waterfall and summon the Red Moon.”
“As for the current situation, as long as Dipus’s lifespan is not exhausted, the Star River Waterfall cannot be closed, and Dipus cannot leave.”
The amount of information was overwhelming. Xia Feng listened carefully and silently asked Mu Qingtong again in his mind, “What do you think? Is she telling the truth?”
Mu Qingtong paused for a moment, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. “Mostly true.”
“Mostly?”
“She said, ‘The Pope’s whereabouts are currently unknown.’ She lied about that sentence.”
Does she know? Xia Feng was surprised. This was interesting. Why did she lie specifically about that? Miao Shi most likely knew where the Pope had gone. It seemed this Saint Pastor knew quite a bit about the internal strife within the Black Moon General Court.
“So, Teacher, you said earlier that only I can resolve the Star River Waterfall. Do you want me to forcefully stop the activation of the S-class Spirit Paper and rescue Dipus?” Cha Nai Xue asked doubtfully. “But how can I break such a divine descent channel?”
Miao Shi shook her head, her voice gentle. “The Holy Solution power of Naraka-type Spirit Artifacts is fixed. Nai Xue, once your Naraka’s Between obtains the Holy Solution power, I will have a way to resolve the Star River Waterfall.”
Xia Feng basically understood. Currently, to learn the Moon Time Divine Domain, he still needed to rescue Dipus first. And to rescue Dipus, Cha Nai Xue needed to achieve her Holy Solution first.
Hmm, that didn’t seem quite right. Even if Dipus died in the Star River Waterfall, it wouldn’t affect the state of the Spirit Paper. The only benefit of rescuing Dipus was to be able to acquire (strike that, borrow) the Moon Time Divine Domain sooner. Thinking this way, it was still a good thing.
“Saintess, please,” Dipus stood up and respectfully cupped his hands towards Cha Nai Xue, his tone sincere.
Cha Nai Xue frowned. “But for my Holy Solution, I need three B-class Naraka fragments and two A-class Naraka fragments. I currently only have one B-class and one A-class. I am still some distance from completing my goal.”
“Now I know that Burning Angel Disciple Leng Xiu is also a Naraka Spirit Master, but achieving Holy Solution in a short period is still not an easy task.”
“Don’t worry about any of that.” Miao Shi patted Cha Nai Xue’s shoulder. “Over the years, haven’t I been helping you look for Naraka Spirit Masters? Coincidentally, I found one not long ago. She is currently imprisoned in the core prison area of the Babel Tower.”
Also in this place? Hearing Miao Shi’s words, Jiang Qiue’s suspicion instantly arose, and her delicate eyebrows imperceptibly furrowed. Xia Feng also felt suspicious. Something was not right, extremely not right, something like eleven out of ten.
When they had first arrived at Black Moon City and were hiding in the safe house under the Endless Snowfield outside the city, Cha Nai Xue had already intercepted an unknown cultivator from Leng Xiu and obtained an unknown A-class Naraka fragment. Adding Leng Xiu, Cha Nai Xue herself, and the one Miao Shi mentioned imprisoned in the tower… A total of four Naraka Spirit Masters, all gathered in Black Moon City in the past few days?
When there were only three, Xia Feng and the others still thought it was a coincidence. But four? It was hard not to suspect something fishy was going on. Could it be that the Naraka Star God was up to something?
