The battle in Exalting Sanctum was extremely chaotic, and currently, no one knew what Phantylia's objective was, nor what she intended to do next.
Even Jing Yuan, without sufficient intelligence, could not deduce her purpose. However, he knew that Phantylia enjoyed the internal collapse of things.
Therefore, Phantylia would never be satisfied with mere destruction; she must be planning something. The only thing that could be confirmed now was that her scheme must be related to the Stellaron, but the exact location of the Stellaron remained unknown.
However, on the second day…
Jing Yuan had already guessed…
Or rather, the delay until the second day was precisely due to Takatsuki.
Due to encountering many incidents, Takatsuki had forgotten a certain event he experienced on the Xianzhou.
Coupled with the subsequent blockade of the flight paths, a matter that should have been reported yesterday was only known today.
That was the matter of the Ambrosial Arbor roots appearing in the Artisanship Commission.
"Phantylia's target must be the Ambrosial Arbor. Although I don't know why the Ambrosial Arbor has changed, in reality, the Ambrosial Arbor has never died. Even though the Aeon of the Hunt, Ran, severed the Ambrosial Arbor with an arrow, it was, after all, the curse of the Abominations of Abundance, so it didn't die so easily. In fact, the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor have always been sealed."
It wasn't that the Xianzhou retained the miracle of Yaoshi willingly; rather, they simply had no way to resolve it entirely. Letting the Reignbow Arbiter handle it would take just a single arrow, but the price would be the destruction of the Xianzhou itself.
Because the Ambrosial Arbor was completely bound to the Xianzhou, it was impossible to simply destroy the Ambrosial Arbor without destroying the Xianzhou.
So the Luofu could only seal the Ambrosial Arbor in the Immortal Abode, continuously diluting its influence, making some outsiders believe it was just a withered tree stump.
If possible, the Luofu would also want to permanently resolve the Ambrosial Arbor.
On the second day, after the flight paths were restored, Xueyi, who had previously gone to the Divination Commission, rushed to Exalting Sanctum. Because she used the Divination Commission's Qiankun to perform a divination, the result was that Blade was in Exalting Sanctum.
Incidentally, Xueyi conveyed the news of the Ambrosial Arbor's revival to Jing Yuan.
"The other party must have done something to the Ambrosial Arbor, so we must get to the Ambrosial Arbor before something truly goes wrong."
Jing Yuan said this.
"Then let's go quickly. It would be very bad if the Ambrosial Arbor was tampered with."
March 7th also realized the seriousness of the situation.
"But the roots of the Ambrosial Arbor are in the Ancient Moonsea. To open a passage there, only the Vidyadhara High Priest can do it."
Hearing Jing Yuan's words, March 7th thought of the dragon girl from yesterday: "The Vidyadhara High Priest, is it Bailu?"
"In that sense, you're not wrong. Bailu is the current Vidyadhara High Priest, but Bailu is still young and not yet capable of opening the seal."
March 7th: "Then… is there no way?"
Jing Yuan shook his head: "No, there is one more person who can do it."
"Then let's go find that person quickly."
Jing Yuan did not reply to March 7th's words, but instead looked at a certain person.
A figure wearing a black helmet.
"I'm not sure I can do it."
Dan Heng spoke.
"You must do it. You are still a wanted criminal of the Luofu. I promise you, as long as you accomplish this, I will revoke your warrant."
Jing Yuan said sternly to Dan Heng.
Dan Heng fell silent, and everyone else knew that this was Dan Heng's matter and only he could make the decision.
"When you arrived at the Luofu, you said that the Astral Express came to resolve the Stellaron disaster. At that time, Jing Yuan did not dare to agree, suspecting that the Stellaron Hunters had ulterior motives, but he never expected that the purpose of her bringing you here was because of the appearance of the Emanator of Destruction of the Legion, Phantylia, which made the situation uncontrollable. As the General of the Luofu, I have no choice but to borrow Dan Heng's power, and I also ask for your full assistance."
Seeing Dan Heng fall silent, Jing Yuan said to the others.
Yang, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Even if the Luofu's crisis is unrelated to the Stellaron, given my personality, I would not sit idly by. But my will alone cannot represent the Astral Express."
"Explore, understand, establish, connect… The Astral Express adheres to the Path of Trailblaze creed, nothing more than eight characters. The journey is arduous, and to uphold them is harder than ascending to heaven; fear, peril, enemies, death… various obstacles lie across the path, and only a handful of Nameless can continue."
Yang looked at the other members of the Astral Express and continued speaking under their gaze.
"Whether to advance or leave, the destination of the Nameless should be chosen by them, just like casting that vote on the train themselves."
March 7th and Stelle both nodded, looking at the others.
Both simultaneously extended their hands and cast their votes. Takatsuki also extended his hand: "Although I may not count as a Nameless, and I may leave soon, at least, for now, I am a companion."
"Seele also wants to help everyone." Seele also extended her hand.
Dan Heng was silent for a moment, then extended his hand.
"I am a descendant of the Vidyadhara, and I will fulfill my responsibility to the Luofu."
Jing Yuan showed a slight smile: "Thank you, Dan Heng."
Just then, a violent tremor suddenly occurred around them.
"What's going on?! Is it going to collapse?"
March 7th quickly grabbed Takatsuki, because among everyone present, Takatsuki stood the most steadily, completely unaffected.
"No, that's…"
Everyone followed Jing Yuan's gaze. In the distance, countless sealing runes rose into the air. Behind those runes was a giant tree that was constantly growing.
"The Ambrosial Arbor… has revived!"
Everyone realized that the Ambrosial Arbor Jing Yuan had spoken of earlier had truly revived at this moment.
Unlike its previous stealthy growth of roots into the Artisanship Commission to steal energy, this time it was truly growing, recreating the scene from a thousand years ago.
"Only the Stellaron could provide enough energy to revive the Ambrosial Arbor, right?"
Yang said, looking at the revived Ambrosial Arbor in the distance.
"Yes, it seems there's someone inside the Luofu who threw a Stellaron into the Immortal Abode where the Ambrosial Arbor is, causing it to revive. We need to speed up."
Jing Yuan said, looking at the revived Ambrosial Arbor.
Just then, Fu Xuan rushed over.
"Jing Yuan, did you see it?"
Fu Xuan quickly said: "This seems to be done by the people of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. News just came that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus infiltrators inside the Alchemy Commission have occupied the Alchemy Commission."
"Wasn't Dan Shu arrested?"
Stelle was somewhat confused, as she had clearly provided intelligence.
"Although Dan Shu is the leader of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, at the end of the day, the core of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is not the leader, but the curse of the Abominations of Abundance. As long as the curse remains, they will not be eradicated. The plan has already been set, and whether there is a leader or not does not affect its execution."
"Everyone, let's go. To reach the Scalegorge Waterscape, the Alchemy Commission is the only way."
