Bai Yuekui nodded and said, "We are able to survive on the ground because of a device that shields the ecosystem, not because of any supernatural abilities."
Hearing this, Jingyuan wondered if she was unwilling to reveal the method for activating the potential of the source essence.
Jingyuan asked, "How did you manage to stand on the shoulders of the Two-Jawed Beast back then?"
Bai Yuekui raised an eyebrow and said, "Just make sure it doesn't notice you."
"You can make yourself undetectable to them?" Jing Yuan asked, feigning surprise.
"Yes. We have summarized a method to hide the source of life through a set of secret techniques passed down from the old world. We call it 'Return to Origin'."
Jingyuan feigned surprise, but inwardly he was thinking, "This kind of conversation is exhausting!"
"Although the Devouring Beast has eyes, its true method of sensing people is through sensing the aura of life essence. After 'Return to Origin' conceals its aura, the Devouring Beast will be unable to sense your presence."
"Would you be willing to teach this method to the people at the lighthouse?"
Bai Yuekui stared at him and said, "Fine! But I must remind you, the Mana on this continent are about to evolve, and they will soon be able to fly. So even if you hide on the lighthouse, it will be useless."
Jingyuan nodded. "Then can you help the Lighthouse people awaken their special abilities as well?"
Chapter 137 Let Mark Do It!
Bai Yuekui looked at Jing Yuan with surprise, thinking: Did this kid not understand what I said?
According to Bai Yuekui's logic, I've already said that hiding on the lighthouse is useless, so are you going to ask: what should we do then?
However, Jingyuan's purpose was very clear, so he wouldn't follow her lead.
"It is possible. However, not everyone can successfully awaken their potential. Moreover, it takes too long to train an Awakened One, and it is unrealistic to rely on a large number of Awakened Ones to fight against the Mana ecosystem."
Awakening potential is too difficult, and cultivating enlightened practitioners takes too long.
Jingyuan sensed that Bai Yuekui seemed somewhat unwilling to teach these abilities to the Lighthouse People.
But if we don't rely on them, what will we rely on to fight against the Devouring Beasts and the Mana ecosystem?
Jingyuan nodded. "I know. But there's still a long way to go to fight against the ecosystem. Our top priority is survival! If we can awaken the potential of the people on the lighthouse and teach them to return to their origin, then at least we can survive when facing the Devouring Beasts."
Hearing Jing Yuan's words, how could Bai Yuekui refuse? "We can teach you how to return to your origin, and we can also help you awaken your potential. However, what specific form of cooperation do we want? Should our people go up to the lighthouse? Or should the people on the lighthouse come down? Can you make these decisions?"
Jingyuan said nonchalantly, "As long as you agree, nothing else matters."
"I'm asking, can you really be in charge of the Lighthouse?" Bai Yuekui stared at Jing Yuan. "If I remember correctly, you said the Lighthouse's lord is Mark! Shouldn't he be the one to discuss these matters with us personally?"
"He is on the lighthouse."
“If the Lord of the Lighthouse doesn’t come to discuss cooperation with us personally, how can I believe you are genuinely interested in cooperating?” Bai Yuekui sighed and said, “Back then, Morgan invited me to the Lighthouse, and the result… I don’t want to talk about the past. If you are truly interested in cooperating, let Mark come to me!”
Should we send Mark?
Jingyuan had some doubts; it seemed that Bai Yuekui wanted Mark to come.
Also.
She wanted to take Mark away when they were in Nirvana.
Jingyuan knew that the half-giant brain Cloto on the lighthouse was stolen from Bai Yuekui by Gray, the first city lord of the lighthouse.
Then, Bai Yuekui found an infant in the other half of the giant brain.
He didn't know what happened next.
The original anime was a well-known "lifetime series" with a very long update cycle, and he didn't live to see it.
However, many spiritualists at the time speculated that the baby was either Mark or related to Mark.
So, is there any connection between Mark fainting in front of Clotho?
Did Bai Yuekui know about the connection?
"What are you thinking?" Bai Yuekui looked at Jing Yuan. "You don't want Mark to come?"
Jingyuan shook his head and said, "No, it's him who can't come. He fainted for unknown reasons and hasn't woken up yet."
"He fainted?" Bai Yuekui asked in confusion. "He just fainted. As a former commander of the Hunters, his physical condition should be very strong."
Jingyuan stared at Bai Yuekui and said, "The reason he fainted is very strange. Morgan took Mark to the central hub of the lighthouse, where there is a huge brain. Mark fainted when he went to see the brain and hasn't woken up yet."
Upon hearing the word "giant brain," Bai Yuekui's expression faltered slightly, suggesting that she might know something.
"Do you think his fainting might be related to his brain?"
"Perhaps he was just too tired and that's why he fainted."
Bai Yuekui's casual remark aroused Jingyuan's suspicions about her.
This woman has survived from the old world to the present day; she is definitely not the simple and cute girl she appears to be on the surface.
However, she needs to get her hands on the methods for returning to the origin and awakening the potential of the source material first.
"How about this? I'll send the lighthouse to the purification zone first. We'll discuss the specifics of our cooperation once Mark wakes up."
Bai Yuekui stared at Jing Yuan, "Fine, but I must remind you one more time: on the ground, you must abide by the rules of the ground."
"No problem, I'll do whatever you say."
……
After leaving the conference room, Bai Yuekui looked at Suixing, who was waiting to the side, and said, "Suixing, get ready. They're going to bring the lighthouse here soon."
"Yes!" Although Suixing looked a little reluctant, Bai Yuekui's words were an order, and she would not disobey.
Jing Yuan looked around and asked, "I need to go outside to send coordinates. This base is too complicated. Can someone take me out for a bit?"
The people on the other side remained silent.
Bai Yuekui glanced at him and said, "Silent, take him out!"
The taciturn man scratched his head and walked over. "Alright!"
Jingyuan followed the taciturn man away.
Seeing Jing Yuan leave, Sui Xing whispered in Bai Yue Kui's ear, "Boss, do we really want to cooperate with them?"
“Yeah!” Jiuge stepped forward as well. “You know what those guys at the Lighthouse are like. What if they have bad intentions?”
Bai Yuekui watched Jing Yuan's departing figure and said softly, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Now that they have made changes, we must also make changes."
Bai Yuekui's ambiguous words left everyone somewhat confused.
……
Jingyuan followed behind the taciturn man.
He glanced at it just now and saw that Guayan was still wearing the clothes that had been damaged in the battle, but the wounds on his chest and abdomen had disappeared.
Moreover, judging from his taciturn state, he seems to have fully recovered.
"Besides your indestructible body, you also have the ability to recover quickly?" Jing Yuan took the initiative to start a conversation with him.
"No. My injury was healed by Jiu Ge!"
"Drinking songs?"
"It's the girl in the red dress from earlier. Her potential is to heal people."
Jingyuan recalled that the girl in the red dress had her hair in a bun.
"No wonder those two kids recovered from their injuries so quickly!" Jing Yuan teased. "Their special abilities are, one is electric shock, and the other is sound waves... Oh, and the other one can become invisible."
"That's a two of bamboo!"
Upon hearing the name, Jingyuan immediately thought of mahjong.
Jing Yuan smiled slightly and said, "The three of them make up the 'sound, light, and electricity' combination, but even together, none of them can beat you! Apart from that robot, you should be considered Bai Yuekui's most capable fighter!"
The taciturn man smiled shyly when he heard Jing Yuan praising him.
"Hehe. We still have a lot of strong people here. I'm only slightly stronger than Po Kong and the others."
Seeing that Guaiyan was so humble, Jingyuan realized that there must be some hidden masters in Longgu Village.
Led by the taciturn Jingyuan, they soon arrived outside the base.
Jingyuan turned on the communicator and contacted Jingnan.
In the lighthouse control room, Jingnan waited anxiously, having lost contact ever since Jingyuan said he had found a ground-based survival base.
Jingnan was also worried that Jingyuan was in danger.
After a long wait, sound finally came through the communicator.
"Jingnan, can you hear me?"
"Jingyuan!" Jingnan quickly connected to the communication frequency.
"Jingyuan, you haven't responded for so long, is something wrong?"
"Um, something came up, but it's all right now. Jingnan, I'm sending you my location. Navigate the lighthouse here!"
Jingyuan sent the location to Jingnan, who exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it, "It really is in the core ecological area."
After carefully examining the route, Jingnan asked, "Are you sure this route is safe?"
Jingyuan said, "From where you are now, you will still pass through an ecological zone. There are some terrifying things deep in the ecological zone, so try to stay along the edge and increase your altitude as much as possible. After you cross that mountain range, you will be able to see the grassland on the ground."
