Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1170 - 920: Untitled 2

Senior, you have extraordinary means to grant us what we need from afar; you can also reach the void to take this land away. We beg you to have mercy and head in that direction to find our master and senior brother, as well as those trapped mortals..."

Jiang Yuan suddenly realized why Yun Shu couldn’t make the decision.

After merging and taking away the land, it would lose its position, and in the vast void, there might be no chance of reunion.

Everyone pleaded on their knees, and he activated the Void Detector according to the direction pointed by the other party, finding no rescue coordinates for a long distance in the northwest direction.

Could it be that the people on that fragment never sent a rescue signal?

Or did the drifting route change, and the initial position marked by the disciples of Miaoyi Valley was no longer accurate?

"I have marked the direction and will adjust the route for the Immortal Shuttle to search in the northwest next," Jiang Yuan gestured for them to rise, comforting them, "Blessed people have their destiny, you don’t need to worry."

"Soon, I will send the entire land along with you to a new world, where the Spiritual Energy is equally abundant. If there’s anything you need, I will provide it to the best of my ability."

The seniors agreed kindly, and the disciples of Miaoyi Valley finally stood up after thanking him.

The leader was somewhat embarrassed, stammering, "Originally, we lived within the master’s domain, where we had prepared a lot of food, but unfortunately, the drifting time was a bit long, and the food ran out.

We haven’t cultivated to the stage of Fasting, so... could we trouble you to leave us some food?"

Understood, it seems their rescue requests are all for food.

Jiang Yuan left them enough food and water, repeatedly instructing them not to hunt the newly revived Red Thunder Deer tribe after arriving in the new world, before returning to the Immortal Shuttle to fuse this fragment with the Mizhang Ridge instance.

"Miss Tang, we’ll have to trouble you to control it yourself next, and let the Immortal Shuttle fly slower, as the world fragment we’re searching for might not be on the map."

"Shall I fly in the current direction? Hold on, I’ll take control." Tang Qin didn’t know what map he was referring to, but obediently followed, regaining control of the Immortal Shuttle and steering it forward.

After about an hour, there was still no coordinate detection around, and apart from the stars, the empty void revealed nothing.

Yun Shu sighed, "We might have deviated from the original route, or maybe that world fragment slowly rotated its direction, but they didn’t notice. What can we do? I’m afraid..."

Ling Di and others had also heard of this, and seeing this, helplessly said, "The problem is, they don’t even know how long that fragment has drifted past or its speed. Where in this vast void can it be found?"

"Sir, I’ll pilot the Immortal Shuttle forward for another tea time. If we still find nothing, we’ll return and proceed according to your original plan." Tang Qin reassured, "If it’s meant to be, we will find it; if not, there’s nothing we can do."

The current Void Detector showed a blank space, with no rescue coordinates for about two hours’ journey.

Jiang Yuan set the next target at the nearest coordinate, based on the current center, nodding, "Then let’s do as you said, and continue forward."

The tea time quickly passed, and just when everyone thought they would return empty-handed, Ling Di suddenly perked up ears and pointed north with a paw, barking, "Master, look, isn’t that a floating fragment?"

He hadn’t seen anything, no trace of anything in sight.

Then Tang Qin responded, "I don’t know if it’s a piece of close-up gravel, or if it’s the distant world fragment; let’s go check it out first!"

The Immortal Shuttle visibly changed direction, swishing over.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yuan finally saw it—as the Immortal Shuttle got closer, the object that was originally the size of a fist gradually grew larger, and soon a lush aerial forest appeared before their eyes.

"Roar~"

The Immortal Shuttle stopped at the edge in an instant, and they even heard the roar of a tiger from the forest.

"It seems this is likely the fragment mentioned by the disciples of Miaoyi Valley, with many beasts in the forest! Sir, I will go find people!" Yun Shu was overjoyed and immediately flew out to search for living traces.

[Unclaimed land with no rescue information discovered, can choose to merge with the Riverfront Village instance to accept survivors from the unclaimed land, would you like to proceed with the fusion and assimilation?]

Jiang Yuan: ...

The void detector’s drawback is quite obvious; world fragments that have never been rescued won’t show up. Considering this, how many fragments must be drifting in the void?

He soon learned why such a large fragment hadn’t sent out any rescue messages—the entire land was mostly covered in towering mountains, teeming with beasts, and those calling for help to Miaoyi Valley disciples were a dozen border warriors who had lost contact with the army during combat.

Relying on their excellent skills, they camped in the mountains using hunting to sustain themselves with food and water.

Never lacking food and drink, and being courageous warriors, they naturally wouldn’t think of praying to the Gods.

The reason they called for help when the two lands brushed past each other was that one of them was seriously ill, and two warriors went out to search for herbs, happening to see the disciples of Miaoyi Valley practicing acupuncture and knowing they were physicians, decided to call out.

Unexpectedly, a man and a woman flew on their swords, stunning the mortals who had never seen cultivators before.

What was more miraculous than flying was their advanced medical skills; they not only quickly revived their critically ill companion but, having no way to return anyway, the master-apprentice duo calmly settled down, helping cure ailments left over from the soldiers’ campaigns.

When Yun Shu flew over, they were simmering meat in a forest cabin, relishing the fragrant, steaming feast.

"Huh? The Fairy can take us to a new world? Is there war there? I really don’t want to fight anymore!"

"If there are a few acres of fertile land and some cattle and sheep, build a house and marry a wife, with no officials collecting taxes, wouldn’t life be beautiful?"

"Hunting is fine too, our brothers can shoot tigers together!"

"Comrade, did you really meet the disciples of Miaoyi Valley? They’ve gone to the new world too?"

......

Facing numerous questions, Yun Shu answered each one, after which Jiang Yuan clicked on fusion, and then distributed the master and apprentice from Miaoyi Valley to the Mizhang Ridge instance.

Everything was happily settled as Mizhang Ridge welcomed its first group of cultivators and master healers from Miaoyi Valley.

Consuming Immortal Jade for rapid travel, with six hours to the next target, he sent Ling Di and Yun Shu to settle in new members within the instance, and then flashed into the Cang Lake Mountain instance.

Giving those anomalies quite some time, he needed to see what had been achieved.

Rushing all the way to the center’s array, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but smile when he saw—the previously small patch of withered forest had vanished without a trace, even the stones buried in the soil were thoroughly excavated, using all collected resources to construct a shelter.

The anomalies must have measured meticulously, choosing the center to dig a big pit, and covered it completely using wood and stones.

"Tsk! I have to say, becoming anomalies made them quite formidable, not needing food or drink, and being tirelessly energetic. Where does this perpetual energy come from?" If it weren’t for their pollution force, he’d consider capturing a couple for research, to see if he could use anomalies as perpetual motion machines.

The surroundings were very quiet, only the wind rustling through the treetops, making a low, mournful sound.

The system’s detail identification showed that these anomalies, racking their brains to pollute themselves, had dug tunnels from under the shelter to a position very close to the array.

At that time, a few anomalies were squatting in the tunnel, attempting to close the distance using the Blinding Technique to increase the pollution rate.

"Hey! I’ve come to inspect the goods, Cultivation Techniques, Pill Formulas, blueprints, have they all been written?" Enjoying the sport of deceiving anomalies under the guise of a fool, Jiang Yuan cleared his throat and loudly announced, "I’ve given you ample time, looking at your posture, are you playing with me?"

A voice emerged from beneath the shelter, "Fellow Daoist, please understand, your Divine Artifact is too powerful and terrifying; our self-preservation is involuntary.

All the Cultivation Techniques, Pill Formulas, and blueprints have been written. I don’t dare to hand them to you personally; thinking you wouldn’t want direct contact with us, thus we propose exchanging midway.

I’ve placed everything on the stone slab to the right of the shelter, fellow Daoist, please take them yourself. After verifying authenticity, please fulfill your promise and grant us a way out, sending us to another world."

After speaking, the old master gave a glance to the other dozen anomalies curled up within the shelter, all anomalies nodded silently, with a sly grin at the corners of their mouths.

Once that young man steps into the trap, he will become one of us; by then, the whole world will be for anomalies to gallop freely!
