Chapter 1023: Chapter 555: Spectacle—Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace (Part 2)

The hundred-foot stele stood at the very center where yin and yang intersected, looking extraordinarily brilliant. But upon closer scrutiny, it seemed like a solitary eye, vaguely staring at oneself, arousing an unexplained unease.

Su Jie floated down alone, arriving at the top of this hundred-foot stele.

Up close, one would notice numerous pale corpse hands here, clutching various spiritual materials, bearing massive stones and spirit soil, busy around the island, continuing to perfect the structures here.

“Zzzzz!”

As soon as Su Jie arrived, a shadow swiftly darted into his arms, letting out a pitiful cry.

This was naturally Su Jie’s lifebound poisonous insect, the thousand-hand centipede. Compared to the past, the thousand-hand centipede was noticeably slimmer; it used to eat and drink worry-free, always kept plump by Su Jie.

And this massive island before him was also a wonder constructed by Su Jie on Blue Star.

Su Jie had obtained a secret technique called “Mystic Sky Immortal Residence” from Fire Cloud Palace, which could gather faith power through the construction of wonders, enhancing the strength of the primordial spirit.

In the records of the “Mystic Sky Immortal Residence,” wonders were divided into three tiers, namely Human Dao Level Wonders, Earthly Level Wonders, and Heavenly Dao Level Wonders.

Human Dao Level Wonders were the weakest, while Heavenly Dao Level Wonders were the strongest. The higher the grade of the wonder, the larger the range it could absorb faith power from, and the higher its efficiency in purifying faith power. For instance, the Red Shining Immortal Palace of Fire Cloud Palace was an Earthly Level Wonder.

“Alright, alright, I know you’re pitiful, it’s almost finished anyway. Once it’s done, you won’t have any work and can rest well, and you’ll have plenty of insects.”

Su Jie stroked the head of the thousand-hand centipede, soothing its emotions.

Zzzz! Zzzzzz!

The thousand-hand centipede shouted, glaring at Su Jie with insect eyes as it had heard such promises from him many times before. What was supposed to be the completion of phase one led to phase two, then phase two led to phase three, squeezing the poisonous insect endlessly. It was a killing machine, an eighth-grade poisonous insect! Not some construction laborer, it felt bullied.

“Cough cough, there’s really no choice. If ordinary people were to build it, even with mechanical power, it wouldn’t be so efficient. Plus, this wonder needs to be constructed in the deep sea; Blue Star humans haven’t yet achieved this with their technology.”

Su Jie felt a bit guilty as he was being stared down by the thousand-hand centipede; the wonder before them was almost entirely built by its efforts alone. He could only admit that the thousand-hand centipede, with its ability to divide into thousands of pale corpse hands, had extraordinary talents in wonder construction.

Su Jie merely provided the spiritual materials from the storage bag and the blueprints; the thousand-hand centipede could split into tens of thousands of pale corpse hands and proceed with the construction using spiritual materials.

It’s not like Su Jie didn’t contribute; he frequently traveled to the deep sea to record talismans and array patterns on the wonder, the tasks that the thousand-hand centipede couldn’t handle. However, compared to its workload, Su Jie’s labor amounted to less than one-tenth of the thousand-hand centipede’s.

Thanks to the existence of the thousand-hand centipede, the wonder could be nearly completed within just two years, with an astonishingly high efficiency, consuming only around a hundred tons of entry-level poisonous insects every day.

The downside was that the thousand-hand centipede had grown noticeably slimmer, going from a round and plump figure to a much slimmer one for the sake of constructing the wonder.

Zzzz!

The thousand-hand centipede rolled its eyes humanely, as every time, it was told that it was almost finished, yet it had been fooled too many times. This time, it wouldn’t be placated without a thousand tons of entry-level poisonous insects.

Su Jie could only chuckle helplessly, soothing the thousand-hand centipede while touring this wonder construction.

The island was filled with ancient formations and talismans, distributed among various peculiar buildings, ancient palaces, towering towers, deep caves, each exuding a breath of age and mystery.

One of the most spectacular sights on the island was that enormous Yin Yang Stele.

Occasionally, thunder darted above, emitting an indescribable oppressive aura, as if suppressing this realm.

The Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace was the name of this wonder, a Human Dao Level Wonder.

Among the Human Dao Level buildings described in the “Mystic Sky Immortal Residence,” this wonder held a prominent position.

Just construction alone had Su Jie spend a cumulative total of one hundred million spirit stones thus far; when compared to other simpler Human Dao Level wonders, the cheapest ones required no more than ten million spirit stones.

There was, of course, a reason for the Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace’s exorbitant cost.

As its name implied, this wonder held sea-suppressing might, drawing from the ancient divine beast Xuanwu’s power to suppress the seas.

It suppressed not only the sea but also the cultivators’ physical bodies, primordial spirits, divine weapons, and spirit treasures.

The Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace divided into two domains of yin and yang, one representing the extreme yang attribute spiritual power in the world, and the other the extreme yin attribute spiritual power.

On the yang attribute side, those treasure grasses on the island were yang attribute spiritual roots; the materials for construction of palaces were also meteorite fire stones, thunder sound bamboo, and golden kun trees, all yang attribute materials. Even the recorded arrays and talismans were all of yang attribute.

The yin attribute domain employed massive amounts of soul wood, cold se sands, and demon grasses, as yin attribute spiritual materials, inherently creepy, constructing yin attribute arrays that naturally grew particularly unsettling.

And where yin and yang intersected, it represented ultimate balance; capable of transforming all things and suppressing them as well.

However, suppressing the vast seas wasn’t actually the primary function of the Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace, nor was it Su Jie’s intention in its construction.

Looking at the near-complete Yin Yang Sea Suppressing Palace, Su Jie instantly floated before the hundred-foot stele, his eyes fixed straight on the stele. The myriad runes began to shine on the stele, and a blend of yin and yang aura gradually emanated.
