287: Yijing

What greeted his eyes was an extremely dazzling and highly polluting purple light.

The purple light seemed to carry a certain will, wanting to transform people into its predetermined form.

Outside, on the Sky Continent, even a Piming Realm Ninth Level might be affected by it.

But here, in front of Chen De, its pollution was completely meaningless.

From the dazzling purple light, one could see that at the very center of the light, there seemed to be a crystal-like stone.

And that was the remnant of the Eight Ancestors' purification that Chen De had picked up in Jue Tian Place.

It's also true that the will of the heavens was cunning back then, knowing it couldn't escape.

So, it concentrated its last wisp of consciousness deep within itself.

This alone, of course, was not enough for it to be preserved under the hands of the Eight Ancestors' remnant souls.

Therefore, the most crucial part of it accomplishing all of this was that it successfully broke through to the Ancestor Realm at the last moment.

It was already the extreme of the extreme in the Pi Ming Realm; once the world's completeness met the standard, it could instantly become an Ancestor.

Unfortunately, the time of its final ascension to Ancestor Realm was still too late.

It could only rely on the power after its breakthrough to preserve itself for a future day.

However, it was noticed by Chen De, who had been closely observing the battlefield.

The righteous Supreme Holy Mother, as expected, nipped the will of the heavens' resurgence in the bud.

After Chen De got his hands on it, he immediately began his most frequently used Soul Capture mode.

From it, he obtained many secrets of the Sky Continent, as well as some clues about the Hundred Ancestors' integration with the heavens.

Moreover, the composition of this crystal was extremely special; it was not formed from any known substance.

Instead, it was the pure embodiment of will, and the quality of the will contained within was extremely high.

Even under Chen De's soul attack, there was not much loss.

Undoubtedly, as the last hope of the will of the heavens, the will within it must also be the most crucial part of it.

And now, Chen De's research institute is conducting research on this.

After the purple light lasted for a period, it was gradually weakened by something.

At this moment, a standard mechanical prompt sounded in the laboratory.

"This time, the will crystal radiation intensity is 10000% higher than last time, starting to weaken, weakening in progress…"

As the light continuously weakened, the layout of the laboratory became increasingly clear.

Visibly, there were enormous glass cabins.

In the very center of the glass cabin, there was an extremely intricately crafted vertical mechanical platform, with its surface facing outwards from the glass cabin.

At the very center of the platform, there was a groove, and inside the groove was a crystal emitting a faint purplish-red light.

Around the mechanical platform, there were intricately arranged tubes and wires.

These tubes and wires all went straight underground, leading to an unknown destination.

Outside the glass cabin, groups of white-coated researchers were standing, recording experimental data and phenomena.

"Record, will crystal temperature…"

They had all been influenced by Chen De's black liquid and were not afraid of the crystal's pollution.

In front of each researcher, there was something similar to a display screen from Chen De's previous life.

All phenomena, data, and images from the experiment would be automatically recorded and saved by the equipment.

But to prevent data loss, Chen De always kept two copies.

One electronic copy and one handwritten copy, numbered and stored separately in two different locations.

To achieve this level of technology in a short time, it was both difficult and not difficult.

Firstly, the population of the Sky Continent was almost a hundred million times that of Chen De's previous life.

And everyone's physical quality was much, much better than in Chen De's previous life.

Many things that people in Chen De's previous life needed tools to accomplish could be easily done here by people themselves.

Moreover, the resources here, both in terms of variety and quantity, were much richer.

In such a world, if technology were developed with full force, progress would be very fast.

Everything is difficult from zero to something, and easy from something to a lot.

Most of the development in Chen De's previous life was wasted on going from nothing to something.

But Chen De's own knowledge could barely complete this most difficult process.

Including many subsequent principles, when developing in Chen De's previous life, they were all crossing the river by feeling the stones.

It was very possible that after all the effort, they would find it was wrong.

But Chen De was different; Chen De knew that doing this was right.

Chen De knew the principle, knew the result, he was just not too clear about the process, but he had some understanding.

In other words, Chen De, standing on the foundation of his predecessors, indeed avoided many detours.

Coupled with terrifying human and material resources, development was extremely rapid.

Moreover, Chen De also discovered that this world, including the Four Profound Heavens, actually had some traces of technology.

It's just that everyone's focus, especially those geniuses who could truly lead technological development, was on cultivation.

Therefore, the path of technology was so weak here.

This research laboratory contained Chen De's current highest technological achievements.

Seeing Chen De enter, no one paid him any attention, still busy with their own tasks.

And Chen De, having a broad mind, naturally didn't care about such a small matter.

Chen De just closed his eyes, accepted the memories in their minds, and he could know the research progress.

This method was much more convenient and complete than verbal accounts.

After the information came, Chen De closed his eyes and slowly absorbed it.

Soon, Chen De knew how they were progressing and also knew what experiment had just been conducted.

Electrical stimulation, injecting different levels of current to observe the will crystal phenomena.

The current intensity just now was roughly around one billion volts.

However, Chen De stood outside, and from the appearance, he didn't notice any changes.

This was a normal phenomenon; these days, researchers had conducted various tests and experiments on the will crystal, and most of them failed to elicit any obvious reaction.

Chen De was not very anxious; he just let them research slowly here.

This time, Chen De mainly wanted to see if the will inside had revived.

Chen De knew that this will of the heavens was quite cunning.

It had done things like enduring humiliation and feigning weakness countless times, it was very skilled.

If Chen De didn't need it for research now, he would have eliminated it long ago.

As expected, under Chen De's careful sensing, he indeed found something slightly amiss.

He flashed into the glass cabin, and skillfully launched a soul attack and Soul Capture.

After it went in, there was no movement, but Chen De was not anxious and continued to increase the power.

A moment later, a shrill scream came from the will crystal.

Chen De smiled after hearing it, said nothing, and continued to increase the output power.

After a while, another faint scream came from inside.

At this point, Chen De finally stopped his actions.
