Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Inside the Meteorite, Divine Race’s Diary
Jia Yulan looked toward the meteorite crater and discovered that it had a diameter of thirty meters and was ten meters deep. In its center, however, there was no accumulation of water; instead, a black meteorite three meters long lay there quietly.
At this moment, the meteorite was glowing!
The pale blue luminescence flickered like a cluster of candles swaying in the breeze, with the surrounding shadows of the trees dancing along, creating a serene atmosphere.
The surface of the meteorite was also covered with many peculiar things.
Some were starfish-shaped plants, some were colorful mushrooms, and others resembled bamboo shoots, though they were only three inches tall.
“Yu Lan, do you know what this is?” Li Jiaojiao asked, pointing at the meteorite with a puzzled expression on her face.
“The person who claimed to be a god earlier spouted a lot of strange words, like ‘third tier,’ ‘fourth tier,’ and other odd terms. Could it be that he isn’t from our world, but arrived on this meteorite from beyond the heavens?” Jia Yulan speculated.
In the Shenzhou Continent, meteorite iron from beyond the skies or falling stars occasionally appeared, so not only cultivators but even ordinary people knew that there were heavens beyond the sky.
However, Jia Yulan had not expected to encounter an otherworldly being here.
“A visitor from beyond the heavens?” Li Jiaojiao’s expression tensed up.
“It’s not impossible. After all, that person was very strange, speaking in an eerie and bizarre tone. It’s a pity that Brother Flathead directly devoured him. Otherwise, we could have captured him and interrogated him for many useful pieces of information.”
Jia Yulan extended her hand and cast the “Iron Shield Technique” to protect herself, “I’ll go down and take a look, if anything happens, you use the Binding Spirit Rope to pull me back up.”
“Mm, okay!” Li Jiaojiao nodded.
Jia Yulan walked down into the meteorite crater and found that the walls, having been melted by high temperatures, had become very hard, like solid rock. Stepping on them, she felt no sinking sensation whatsoever.
Before long, Jia Yulan reached the edge of the meteorite.
“This meteorite is a bit strange; it gives me the feeling that it could suck me in,” Jia Yulan murmured.
“Yu Lan, is it dangerous?” Li Jiaojiao quickly tossed out a Binding Spirit Rope, which coiled around Jia Yulan’s slender waist, ready to pull her out at any moment.
“Don’t be nervous…” Before Jia Yulan could finish her sentence, a roar erupted from the heart of the Taiyue Mountain Range, as if ferocious beasts were engaged in a fierce battle.
“It must be Brother Flathead fighting; it’s too dangerous!” Li Jiaojiao shrank her neck slightly, feeling a bit scared.
Jia Yulan stood beside the meteorite and reached out to touch its surface.
“Don’t touch it carelessly!” Li Jiaojiao had just raised her voice in warning, but it was already too late.
They saw the meteorite’s surface burst forth with a pale blue light that swept over Jia Yulan and Li Jiaojiao. The two women felt their bodies shrinking, then they collided with the meteorite, and amid cries of alarm, passed through a fist-sized hole.
The two felt as if they had traversed a passage several dozen meters long, then entered into a brightly lit inner space.
It was a world resembling a rectangular prism, two hundred meters in length, a hundred meters wide, and approximately eighty meters high, inside which there was a pond, an old wooden building, two trees bearing Seven-Colored Flowers, and a ground covered with peculiar flora.
“What is this place?” Jia Yulan looked around in awe, uttering an exclamation. Being the refined lady she was, she wouldn’t even say “damn.”
“This should be a world within the meteorite. Though not large, it’s home to many flowers and plants I’ve never seen before, and they seem quite edible,” Li Jiaojiao muttered.
“Edible?” Jia Yulan rolled her eyes.
“There’s a wooden building here; let’s go take a look,” Li Jiaojiao was just about to head towards the wooden building when she noticed numerous Blue Lotuses in the pond and the surface dotted with Red Maples – a pity there was not a single frog’s croak.
The water was very clear, allowing a view of many fish.
“So many fat fish, I wonder if they can be used for cooking.” Li Jiaojiao instinctively activated her Spirit Eyes and saw that these fish all contained Spiritual Energy, yet possessed no Cultivation Level. An idea flashed in her mind, “Now I know why I couldn’t make a Spirit Dish.”
Jia Yulan curiously asked, “Why?”
“Because previously I used only ordinary ingredients, at most adding Spirit Spring Water to cook the vegetables. After the spiritual energy dissipated, the remaining vegetables naturally lost their spiritual energy, which is why they couldn’t become a Spirit Dish.”
The more excited Li Jiaojiao became as she spoke, “Going out this time really solved my confusion. As long as I master the special cooking techniques to ensure that no spiritual energy is lost during cooking, I will be able to make my first Spirit Dish.”
Watching Li Jiaojiao, whose eyes shone brightly, Jia Yulan silently rejoiced for her.
“Jiaojiao, there’s another vegetable patch over there.”
Using the “Light Body Technique,” Jia Yulan soared into the sky and discovered a vegetable patch behind the wooden building, planted with various mushrooms and vegetables that looked slightly different from those she had seen before.
Upon activating her Spirit Eyes, she could see that these vegetables contained a considerable amount of spiritual energy. They were ideal materials for cooking Spirit Dishes.
“This is great!”
Li Jiaojiao also discovered the vegetable patch and was very excited, finally seeing the dawn of her becoming a Spirit Chef.
The two walked onto the vegetable patch to look around before entering the wooden building. They discovered it had two floors. The first floor merely had some furniture and seemed useless.
The second floor contained three meditation cushions made of special materials. Sitting on them allowed one to quickly enter a state of cultivation.
“These are great treasures!” declared Jia Yulan, decisively stuffing the cushions into her Storage Belt.
“Why don’t we just move the whole meteorite?” Li Jiaojiao suggested.
“Right!” Jia Yulan smacked her forehead, berating herself for her oversight.
The two continued searching and found that the second floor also contained other pieces of furniture such as tables and chairs, though they appeared quite old.
On the table, there was also a jade slip. As Jia Yulan picked it up, the jade slip suddenly burst into light, projecting a figure in mid-air.
It was a cold-looking old man with a shark’s mouth, his gaze stern as he looked at Li Jiaojiao and Jia Yulan, startling both women considerably.
But in the next moment, they heard the man with the shark’s mouth begin to speak:
“Han Yi, Han Er, Han San, you three are about to reach the Southern River Basin in Mystique Kingdom. Upon your arrival, quickly infiltrate the County King City to discreetly expand our power and lay the foundations for our Divine Race’s grand plan!”
As his words ended, the brilliance also faded away.
“I was so scared, it was just a lingering image,” Jia Yulan patted her proudly standing chest, her face pale from the fright.
“But, the Divine Race has already sent three people here!” Li Jiaojiao remembered the shark-mouthed elder’s words and said with a look of alarm.
Jia Yulan took out the three meditation cushions with tenacity etched on her eyebrows, “One person from the Divine Race is already this powerful. What if the other two appear? We won’t be able to stop them!”
“What should we do?” Li Jiaojiao became even more panicked.
“In such a situation, we must immediately report to the Sect Leader. We can’t delay. If we do, things might change… Huh? What’s this?”
Jia Yulan noticed a large drawer under the table near the window. After opening it, she found a thick book inside, half a foot thick!
On the cover were the words “Divine Race’s Diary.” While the text was also in the Human Race script, the font was slender. However, it was generally recognizable and didn’t hinder reading.
“Divine Race’s Diary?”
Jia Yulan spread open the diary on the table, her curiosity intense as she quickly flipped through the front page.
Li Jiaojiao hurriedly gathered around to look as well.
