2520: The Third Tunnel!

The Third Tunnel!

If Bei Xu could confirm that he was indeed located on the other side of the Barren Sea, Lin Yuan would use up the Ethereal Jellyfish's last main tentacle to build a tunnel to the other side of the Barren Sea.0

Lin Yuan intended to explore the other side of the Barren Sea. Even if he did not manage to find anything of value, he would be able to obtain a few of the Continent Vein Cores at least.

The Continent Vein Cores were very important to Lin Yuan now as he needed the Abyss Red Lotus to wrap around a few of the Continent Vein Cores to exert pressure on Tower Canon in the main world.

"Bei Xu, if you want to use that human abode to reach the surface, you will inevitably end up clashing against that city's top experts. It's not feasible for you to scout out the city's top experts' power. There is a high chance that it will result in the butterfly effect. Your existence is a huge issue for that city. The city's decision-makers will never accept you!

"It's not feasible to send you Immortal and above combat power through the Astronomical Parliament because not even I can afford such a cost. So, I won't be able to provide you with much practical help in taking on this city.

"I also think that there's no need for you to attack this city. Your current method is good. Send your subordinates to infiltrate the city and gather information. It's said that the path to victory is knowing one's own strength and the strength of one's enemies."

Bei Xu nodded seriously after hearing what Lin Yuan said.

Attacking the city was only a temporary thought that Bei Xu had.

He did not feel any determination to take over this city. All he wanted was to reach the surface as soon as possible.

From Lin Yuan's words, it seemed that he had other plans despite lacking the strength to provide him with practical help.

Bei Xu looked at Lin Yuan seriously and waited for Lin Yuan's next instruction.

After all of their interactions, there was now a natural rapport between Lin Yuan and Bei Xu.

In actuality, Bei Xu felt somewhat regretful over being unable to take control of the city. This regret stemmed from the fact that this would push back the day that he would finally be able to see Lin Yuan.

However, what Lin Yuan said next caused Bei Xu's heart to skip and beat, and delight immediately bloomed on his face.

Since Bei Xu's figure in the Astronomical Parliament was formed from willpowers and his soul, his delight spread to the others around him.

"Given that this city has the means to reach the surface, they must understand the surface world to a certain degree. Once you've infiltrated this city and gathered information, see if they have records on the Ten Thousand Caves Federation, Eternal Darkness Federation, and Gray Mist Federation. If such records exist, see if they mention a poisonous sea. Once you find such records, I will open a tunnel that leads directly to you."

Lin Yuan's words not only shocked Bei Xu, but even Liu Jie, Wen Yu, and Yin Lin looked astonished.

All three federations that Lin Yuan had mentioned were in the direction of the other side of the Barren Sea.

At first, Lin Yuan had wondered if Bei Xu was located on the other side of the Barren Sea.

According to the current circumstances, the chances of this guess being right were high.

Otherwise, he would not have been unable to locate Bei Xu even up till now.

After learning about Bei Xu's situation and making guesses about his location, Yin Lin used her family's resources to send people to investigate a likely location. Eventually, she found that Bei Xu was not located there.

The most famous federations bordering the Barren Sea were the three that Lin Yuan had mentioned.

If Bei Xu was truly on the other side of the Barren Sea, there would surely be records of these three federations. Even if there were not, there would be records of the Barren Sea, at the very least.

Yin Lin believed that there was a high chance that the Broiling Rock Continent, where Peace resided, was also on the other side of the Barren Sea.

There were many continents on the known map that experienced scorching heat all year round and only had summer and monsoon seasons. However, they all had advanced civilizations and were not as barren as the Broiling Rock Continent.

Yin Lin did not mention her guess because she believed that Lin Yuan had already guessed the same.

Bei Xu attentively listened to everything that Lin Yuan said and began to draw up a plan according to his current understanding of the city.

Bei Xu believed it would not be difficult for him to find the information Lin Yuan wanted because many of the city's factions were recruiting people and offering generous remuneration.

In the past year, Bei Xu had used the Sharp Shadow Bat that Lin Yuan had given him to nurture a fair number of blood zombies. He could place absolute trust in these blood zombies, and all of them possessed significant power.

They were exactly what those factions wanted.

Bei Xu could place his subordinates in different factions before secretly scouring for information through these factions.

He believed that he would be able to provide Lin Yuan with an answer soon.

Liu Jie had already communicated privately with Lin Yuan and learned just how many resources were needed to transport one Diamond/Legend insect-species carcinoma fey. It was much less than what Lin Yuan had invested in nurturing Bei Xu.

Besides providing Bei Xu with resources, Lin Yuan provided his emotions and time.

Many of the Astronomical Parliament's members would be sad if anything happened to Bei Xu.

Liu Jie said, "I have two insect-species carcinoma feys that match Bei Xu's current situation. Leo, I'll give Bei Xu both of them. With the two insect-species carcinoma feys, it will be easier for Bei Xu to search for the information. They will also ensure his safety."

It could be said that out of all the members of the Astronomical Parliament, Liu Jie was the one who interacted the least with the other members. Besides people like Yin Lin and Su Yiren, who had the chance to meet with Liu Jie in real life, the rest of them had no idea who he was. All they knew was that he was the person Lin Yuan had chosen to sit on one of the golden thrones.

Now, Bu Po, Wo Lun, and the rest realized that the ever-quiet Liu Jie was actually extremely kind and everything he said was in consideration of the other members.

Su Yiren and Luo Lan looked at each other. The two of them interacted with Liu Jie the most and knew that he was the type to come off as cold but was actually very warm-hearted.

Bei Xu hurriedly thanked Liu Jie.

At that moment, Bei Xu's heart was filled with confidence and hope.
