Chapter 184: Xue Beng Departs for Wuhun City, Jerry Faces Pressure

Morning court of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Beng did not listen to the ministers' reports upon coming up; instead, he directly announced the situation regarding Emperor Xue Ye.

For a moment, the ministers were in an uproar!

"Since everyone is now informed, I shall announce one thing: I intend to personally visit Wuhun City to seek out the Retired Emperor. During my absence, all affairs of the Empire shall be managed by Prince Xuexing! Court dismissed!"

After Xue Beng finished speaking, he left immediately without waiting for the ministers below to react.

That same day, Xue Beng led a group and openly departed from Heaven Dou City.

The travel of an Empire's sovereign is naturally a grand and boisterous affair.

By that day, the commoners across the entire nation knew that the Emperor was traveling to Wuhun City.

The Spirit Hall.

"Report! Great Elder, we have just received news that the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is traveling to the Spirit Hall and has already departed!"

"The Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is coming to Wuhun City? He dares to come to Wuhun City? Is he tired of living?" Before the Great Elder could speak, Elder Jin'e spoke up from the side.

"Jin'e! Can you think a bit more when considering problems?" the Great Elder said.

"What is it? Am I wrong?" Elder Jin'e asked.

"If the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire were coming to Wuhun City in secret, he might truly be tired of living. But now that he is traveling to Wuhun City with such fanfare, making the whole continent aware, if our Spirit Hall were to take action now, how do you think the commoners would view the Spirit Hall?" the Great Elder retorted.

"Doesn't that mean we can't take action, and furthermore, we can't let anything happen to him in Wuhun City!" Elder Jin'e said.

"Being able to think of this proves you aren't stupid! I'm just afraid some people will use this matter to stir up trouble!" the Great Elder said.

"Who would dare stir up trouble? I'll go wipe them out directly!"

"There are too many people! The nobles and sects of the Heaven Dou Empire, I imagine they all want to. Go ahead and wipe them out!" the Great Elder said.

"So many people! Then forget it; Jerry once said he doesn't like large-scale battles!"

"You listen to what he says? Since when have you been so obedient to him?" the Great Elder asked curiously.

"Great Elder! You are someone who is full and has no worries for your family! I still have a family! Jerry could dismantle my family just by moving his mouth! I don't dare provoke him now. Look at the other Elders of the Spirit Hall; if their families haven't gone bankrupt, it's only because Jerry showed mercy!" Elder Jin'e said.

"This is the economic warfare Jerry spoke of before. You lot only know how to solve problems with force, and when force cannot solve them, you have no other means. Look at Jerry and learn from him!"

"Jerry did talk about the issue of economic warfare before, but everyone didn't listen carefully at the time; they all thought he was just playing around!"

"Playing around? When it's applied to you lot, the Elders, is it still just playing around?"

"Ah! This, this, this, Jerry is truly formidable!" Elder Jin'e said awkwardly.

"Alright, enough of that. Send people to meet the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire; once he enters the territory of Wuhun City, protect him immediately!" the Great Elder said.

"Yes, I will go handle it!"

After Elder Jin'e left, the Great Elder came directly to the Sunset Forest via the Teleportation Array.

"Jerry! You are planting here every day; are you still going to manage the affairs of the Spirit Hall?" Qian Daoliu said.

"Great Elder, what affairs? Haven't they all been arranged?" Jerry asked.

"They are arranged, but an accident has occurred. Now the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is traveling to Wuhun City, and it has caused quite a stir. How do you think we should proceed?"

"How to proceed? How would I know how to proceed! I didn't calculate that he would travel to Wuhun City either!"

"You come up with an idea! You have many devious tricks!"

"What do you mean I have many devious tricks? Great Elder, please be clear; isn't this slandering someone out of thin air?"

Qian Daoliu curled his lips. Was that the point? Wasn't the point to ask him for an idea?

"Just tell me, how should we respond!"

"Respond to what? If he wants to travel, let him travel! Just protect his safety within the borders of Wuhun City. Let's wait and see; first, let's see why he is coming to Wuhun City!" Jerry analyzed.

"Forget it, let's do that for now! How long have you been planting? When are you returning to Wuhun City? Look at you now, day after day, either planting or raising Soul Beasts in the forest. Can you do something proper!"

"Great Elder, my planting right now is a proper task! Look at these pills; which family in Wuhun City doesn't need them? With pills, they can increase their strength faster and strengthen the Spirit Hall!"

"But the Spirit Hall isn't just about pills."

"Then should I go research bombs?"

"Forget it, you'd better stick to planting! If you want to research bombs, just research them here! This place is far from Wuhun City, so there's no fear of affecting Wuhun City!"

After saying this, the Great Elder Qian Daoliu left.

Jerry had not been idle during this time; he would infuse the plants, then recover his soul power, then infuse again, then recover!

Jerry discovered that every time his soul power was exhausted, the soul power that recovered was denser, showing signs of being compressed.

And it seemed he could also increase the capacity of his dantian.

Previously, the capacity of Jerry's dantian was one hundred times that of others; after this period of consumption and recovery, it was now nearly one hundred and twenty times!

Seeing that his dantian was still expanding, although Jerry knew this was a good thing, when would such a large dantian ever be filled!

Therefore, increasing physical strength and bone density was the most important problem Jerry faced at the moment.

Suddenly, he missed the time spent cultivating plants in the Star Dou Great Forest; there were many Plant Soul Beasts that helped him with the infusion!

These days, Jerry had been thinking: besides the special terrain, why could the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well suppress plants and cause them to evolve into Soul Beasts?

It could be said that Jerry could easily create springs with Ice and Fire attributes elsewhere, but they did not have the effect of suppressing plants to evolve into Soul Beasts.

Because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was not large, Jerry's method of building a submarine could only be interrupted, so Jerry was currently building a pressure-resistant suit.

Jerry had found the most pressure-resistant material currently available: Deep Sea Sunken Silver. This ore could only be mined in the deep sea; currently, most of the material was washed up by seawater, and there was very little manual mining.

After all the equipment was fully crafted, Jerry prepared to attempt to explore the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once more.

As Jerry went deeper, he finally saw the full picture at the bottom this time.

It turned out there was a small space underneath. This small space had been absorbing energy, causing the accumulation of energy in this place; the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well outside should have originated from this.

The small space was sealed by a Barrier. Jerry slowly approached the edge of the Barrier, and as soon as he touched it, his hand passed straight through.

It seemed this Barrier was not meant to guard against people, so Jerry then entered the Barrier entirely.

There was not a drop of water inside the Barrier. Jerry took off his pressure-resistant suit and took a breath; it was perfectly normal!

Afterward, Jerry walked toward the center of the Barrier.

What came into view were two enormous dragon skeletons, each containing immense energy within its body.

What is going on? The dragon is already dead, yet the dragon bone can still absorb energy.

Jerry checked it and thought, this must be a God Bone!

Jerry walked toward the God Bone, wanting to touch it and feel the strength of the God Bone.

But an accident happened!

The Crystal Ball in Jerry's Sea of Consciousness suddenly came out again!

It flew directly above the two God Bones, then grew larger and began to devour the God Bones!

"Damn it! Don't mess around! I still need to study them! Leave one piece for me!" Jerry was extremely anxious! How could he have forgotten about this thing? Every time he came into contact with something high in energy, this thing would come out.

The Crystal Ball did not give Jerry any face, directly emitting a wave of pressure that pinned Jerry to the spot.

"Doing this again? If it weren't for the Fairy Queen saying I had to protect you, believe it or not, I would smash you!" Jerry shouted at the Crystal Ball.

But the Crystal Ball did not care about Jerry's feelings at all and began to devour rapidly.

Having experienced the devouring in Slaughter City last time, the Crystal Ball had become very powerful, and its devouring speed was very fast.

The energy on the two God Bones was vast; devouring from the outside seemed unable to satisfy the Crystal Ball anymore. It was seen growing larger and then wrapping the two God Bones inside itself!

"Stop it! I haven't even checked if there are any soul bones yet!" The Crystal Ball still did not respond to Jerry and continued to devour on its own.

Finally, it completely wrapped up both God Bones and began to slowly shrink.

The two God Bones disappeared, and this space seemed to have been destroyed. Cracks began to appear one after another on the Barrier, and a massive amount of water poured in instantly.

Seeing this scene, Jerry was truly speechless!

He had worked so hard for so long to come down here, only to end up with nothing and face the danger of being crushed by the water at the bottom!

There is really no one like it!
