Chapter 2483 A Brand New Symbiotic Relationship
However, this is a supreme divine power capable of tearing through space, touching upon the laws of nature, and therefore cannot be used frequently. He Lingchuan estimates that he can only barely use it once every ten days to half a month. It's like the Great Pot has opened a small door on the wall of laws; letting him use it occasionally is already quite an achievement, don't think it's as easy as cooking.
And there's another problem: it's a one-way trip, and you can't take anyone else with you.
Let's assume he enters the Void and Panlong Secret Realm from Cangyan Ju City. This is a one-way passage. After leaving the secret realm, he will only appear on the Earth Mother's back. If he wants to return to Ju City, he will have to find a way himself.
One-way ticket for one person, round trip not included.
He Lingchuan continued, "Of course, no matter which option you choose, I will return the stone heart to you."
Mother Earth scratched her head unconsciously.
Is it better to suffer serious injuries, destroy one's cultivation, and become weak and helpless, or to carry Panlong Ancient City on one's own path, go wherever one pleases, and occasionally work for the big boss of Jiuyou?
If neither of these two options contains a hidden trap, then there's absolutely no need to choose between them.
"Why, uh..." it thought for a long time, unable to find the right words, "Why don't you restrict me?"
"No need." He Lingchuan gently patted its shoulder. "Cooperation leads to a win-win situation."
These words made the Blood Demon feel nauseous. If the Nine Nether Emperor truly believed that cooperation would lead to a win-win situation, why was the Blood Demon so firmly bound to him? This was clearly a subordinate relationship—it wasn't fair!
He Lingchuan couldn't hear its thoughts and didn't bother to pay attention. The reason he could be so magnanimous was that he would soon have the ability to remotely enter Panlong Ancient City, which had little to do with where the Earth Mother was. Besides, it was best if Panlong Ancient City didn't remain in this wasteland any longer, so he was happy to be a generous superior.
Of course, the Earth Mother's special ability as a "mobile city" will certainly have a miraculous effect in war, but that's another story.
Mother Earth thought and thought, and finally realized that she really had nothing left to think about.
"Then let's go with the second option." Nobody wanted to suffer or get hurt, and neither did the stone creature. "But Jade Capital City is too ugly; it needs to be renovated! Also, the filth left behind by Shangguan Biao needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible!"
The bizarre patchwork style of Yujing City deviates significantly from its aesthetic.
"It's up to you." He Lingchuan shrugged. "As long as it doesn't damage Panlong Ancient City."
Blood Demon, on the contrary, felt a little regretful: "I actually think Jade Capital City is quite interesting."
He Lingchuan drafted the spirit contract on the spot and handed it to the Earth Mother for inspection.
This is the third time Mother Earth has made a pact with humanity. She suffered greatly the first two times, so this time she is observing very carefully, wishing she could break down every single word to study it.
It took it more than a quarter of an hour to read those two hundred words.
Then it finally made up its mind, took back its stone heart, and pressed it heavily behind the spirit contract.
This is equivalent to stamping the document; the contract becomes effective and begins to glow.
From this moment on, the Earth Mother and Panlong Ancient City have a symbiotic relationship, and she and the Nine Nether Emperor have a partnership.
After the contract was completed, He Lingchuan also showed a relieved smile.
As the Nine Nether Emperor, he usually had to manage the vast empire on the Gold-Shining Plains, so he really couldn't spare the time to look after Panlong Ancient City.
He used to think that Panlong Ancient City and Dafanghu wouldn't pose any danger in the Panlong Wasteland, after all, they'd survived like this for 170 or 180 years. However, the Shangguan Biao incident served as a wake-up call:
The situation has changed dramatically. What was once thought to be foolproof is now completely unreliable.
If one Shangguan Biao can pose a threat to the Great Square Pot, then the Heavenly Demon might find a second or third one in the future.
The best solution would be to transform Panlong Ancient City into a mobile castle, so it would never be left in the wilderness again. This would both prevent malicious individuals from spying on it and protect its safety.
Not to mention that He Lingchuan even hired a powerful bodyguard for it.
Shangguan Biao could have acted recklessly simply by wielding the Stone Heart, relying on the Earth Mother's high defense, high health, and boundless magical power. Thousands of years ago, it was far less powerful, showing that Shangguan Biao wasn't entirely incompetent; at least he made significant achievements in arming and strengthening the Earth Mother's body.
Of course, Mother Earth herself also has concerns:
"You said the Heavenly Demon wouldn't let me go. Aren't you afraid your ancient city will be hunted down along with me?"
"You're alone and badly injured, making you a good prey; as long as you carry Panlong Ancient City, the Heavenly Demons won't easily find you. Besides, with you moving around, they won't be able to track your whereabouts." The Earth Mother, who hadn't severed ties with Yujing City, naturally retained most of her strength and was exceptionally powerful. He Lingchuan laughed, "To put it another way, if you encounter external enemies that you can't resist, you can ask me for help, or you can lead them into the Panlong Secret Realm."
Mother Earth nodded: "Understood."
He Lingchuan stroked his chin and said, "After resolving this matter, I'm going north to settle scores with the Heavenly Demons. There will be a major battle to fight then. How about you come with me?"
"Fine!" The Earth Mother was always clear about her gratitude and grudges. "You rescued me from Shangguan Biao's clutches, I owe you a huge favor."
He Lingchuan pointed to the puddle in front of him:
"Let's go, it's time to get back to reality. If we don't go out soon, the guests will all leave."
……
The area beneath the cliff and pile of rocks was empty; there was no sign of the Bear King.
Not only the Green Leopard Demon, but even Wu Yao turned ashen-faced.
Shangguan Biao was incredibly cunning; his clever escape trick fooled everyone.
We were very close to the city gate. Once the Cyclops King confirmed Shangguan Biao's disappearance, he immediately gave orders to the demon soldiers behind him:
"Everyone follow me!"
It had no connection with the Heavenly Demon, looked down on the Green Leopard Demon, and had obtained the spoils it wanted. Why not leave now?
Don't wait until Shangguan Biao makes a comeback, or you won't be able to leave.
"Can you contact the Bear King?" Seeing the Cyclops leave, Wu Yao ignored them and only ordered the Green Leopard Demon, "Find it, and you'll find Shangguan Biao!"
It seems the fact that the Bear King is a spy hasn't been exposed yet. He still has a chance to catch up to Yangguan Road!
The blue leopard demon spat out a compass and examined it. The needle wobbled back and forth, unable to find the right direction. It could only shake its head: "We can't find them. They're probably in some secret realm."
The Green Leopard Demon's success in ambushing Shangguan Biao was largely due to its element of surprise. Now that the enemy is on guard, in such a large city as Yujing, once Shangguan Biao disappears, finding him will be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble again, as if an invisible force was lifting the valley upwards to flatten the huge ravine.
The demons were in an uproar, and several bird demons flapped their wings and flew away in panic. This earth-shattering power was all too familiar to them.
This is the power of Mother Earth reappearing!
Whoever controls the Earth Mother Stone Heart, whether it's Shangguan Biao or any other enemy, it will only bring them harm!
