Chapter 148

Immediately after, the energy sphere held in Jiang Yan's right hand began to tremble continuously, as if being pulled by something.

Jiang Yan watched the changes in the sphere in his hand with some curiosity.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yan extended the mechanism in his left hand directly toward the sphere.

The mechanism was seen floating into the air, unfolding continuously before the energy sphere.

Subsequently, the fully unfolded mechanism began to approach the energy sphere.

Jiang Yan, Lady Guizhong, and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind watched this scene with tension.

The mechanism before them began to spin continuously, attempting to draw closer to the sphere.

But Jiang Yan's expression suddenly changed.

He felt the energy of that sphere in his hand suddenly become uncontrollable!

"Everyone, step back!"

Jiang Yan shouted loudly, placing his other hand on the sphere as well.

Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind withdrew to the sea surface with solemn expressions.

Jiang Yan continuously adjusted the arrows within the sphere, striving to keep them in a stable state.

Gradually, Jiang Yan could feel the pitch-black sphere in his hand return to his control once more.

But the mechanism covering the sphere emitted a cracking sound of being overburdened.

Subsequently, the light of the mechanism dimmed, and it fell to the ground.

"Huff... huff....."

Jiang Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; if he hadn't controlled it well just now, he would have had to throw the thing into the sea.

If this thing exploded, the power would not be something to joke about.

"It seems it still won't work."

Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind walked over, their brows furrowed tightly.

"Jiang Yan, what was the situation just now?"

Lady Guizhong asked Jiang Yan:

"Just now, because the mechanism drew upon the energy inside the energy sphere."

"Because the pulling was too chaotic, it caused the energy within the sphere to run wild."

Jiang Yan spoke with a solemn expression.

"Because of the matter of drawing energy..."

Lord Yun-Hide-Wind murmured.

"That is to say, to keep this thing stable continuously, one cannot draw upon the energy inside?"

Lady Guizhong asked Jiang Yan.

"In a short-term situation, this is indeed no problem, but who knows after a long time?"

Jiang Yan shook his head, because if he was not by the sphere's side for a long period, he could not determine what effects would occur.

"Oh..."

Lady Guizhong's eyes suddenly lit up; after turning around and whispering a few words to Lord Yun-Hide-Wind.

"Jiang Yan, stay here for a while longer; I and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind will go try to modify it again."

Lady Guizhong said, pulling Lord Yun-Hide-Wind away.

Jiang Yan opened Zhang Zui, but no words came out.

Damn!

I still have to stay here?!

Jiang Yan stayed here for a full month.

Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind came almost every three days, conducting experiments again based on the previous improvements.

But the results were not very good.

Finally, in the last experiment, this block, which looked remarkably like the Gnosis of the Mortal World, successfully contained the sphere without causing any signs of the energy within the sphere running wild.

"Axi! It's finally successful!"

Jiang Yan said excitedly.

A whole month!!

A full month of time!!!

Heaven knows how he endured it!!

"Yes, it was truly not easy..."

Even Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Yan endured the pain of loneliness for this month.

How much pain did Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind not endure?

Every time they went, they failed; the key was that every time the sphere's energy ran wild, it made one's heart tremble with fear.

Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind often modified this thing until midnight with no leads.

This little thing is truly troublesome!

Jiang Yan picked up the locked energy sphere, shook it in his hand, and after confirming that even with such shaking, the energy sphere inside did not run wild without him controlling the energy within, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, our Liyue also has something that can instantly annihilate an Archon without relying on Archons or Adepti."

Jiang Yan said to Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind with a smile.

"Yes..."

Lady Guizhong and Lord Yun-Hide-Wind both sighed.

"Pity there is only one."

Lady Guizhong's tone carried a hint of regret, just as Yun-Hai Borrow-Wind True Lord had expected.

"Multiple can be created."

Jiang Yan spoke up.

"The sword scars in Gui-Li Plain seal the energy and the resentments of the eleven or so archdemons, including Chi, generated at the moment of their deaths; that should work too, though it certainly won't be as strong as this one, which was produced by an archdemon's self-detonation."

The eyes of Lady Guizhong and Yun-Hai Borrow-Wind True Lord lit up.

Indeed, why had they not thought of this point before?

Just recently, the reconstruction plan for Gui-Li Plain had been frequently hindered because of the sword scars.

Because the sword scars seal turbulent energy, this has also caused many mortals to dare not live near them at all.

They feared that if the Seal of Scars on the sword scars were to vanish, the turbulent energy within would instantly destroy the places where they lived.

If the energy inside the sword scars could also be transformed into this form.

Not only would another great weapon be added, but that sword scar could also be fashioned into a scenic spot for people to visit.

Killing multiple birds with one stone!!

"When we return, Lady Guizhong and I will create another one; you can go and try it."

Yun-Hai Borrow-Wind True Lord said.

Afterwards, Lady Guizhong also spoke.

"Before the experiment, we must first evacuate the common people!"

Jiang Yan also nodded.

Afterwards, the group returned to Liyue Harbor.

After a month, Jiang Yan had finally returned here once more.

This nearly made Jiang Yan so excited that he collapsed onto the ground.

A whole month!! He had finally seen signs of human habitation!!

Who knows the bitterness and hardship involved in that?!
