Chapter 2368 Positioning
Shortly thereafter, accompanied by hurried footsteps, Sandy and his group entered the Great Hall.
Sandy, with an excited expression, waved a book in his hand and exclaimed loudly, "Fang Heng, come look at this! A book on marker construction. I found the method!"
A marker?!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Sandy was referring to markers that corresponded to the dimensional worlds accessed through the branches of the sacred tree.
He had heard from the Leaf tribe before, claiming that the Wood tribe had brought many books from the tree spirit tribe when they left the 'Inner World', including information on the ritual for making markers from the branches of the sacred tree.
In the end, he had already turned the Wood tribe's habitat upside down, but he still could not find any so-called production books.
Sandy and Mo Jiawei brought Tippy along.
Tippy looked at Fang Heng and nodded, saying, "Fang Heng, I had heard from the Great Elder before that the sacred tree branch was birthed from the ancestral sacred trees. By harnessing the power of both the sacred tree branch and the sacred tree itself, our people could freely travel to various dimensional worlds to collect dimensional energy."
"But from the portion of ancient books we have just translated, we discovered that the information the Great Elder received might not have been accurate."
"The so-called ritual for creating the sacred tree branch actually required the positioning of the world using the power of the sacred tree and the dimensional core."
Fang Heng listened to Tippy's account and faintly sensed something amiss. His brow furrowed as he asked, "When you say 'positioning,' are you referring to...?"
"Fang Heng, let me explain," Mo Jiawei interjected with a hint of seriousness. He looked at Tippy and sought confirmation, "Elder Tippy, am I correct in understanding that in the future, once we find a world and figure out how to enter it, we can summon the sacred tree into that world and then use the power of the dimensional core to create the sacred tree branch markers? Is that right?"
"Yes, that's right."
Fang Heng was taken aback by Mo Jiawei's words, abruptly lifting his head to look at him.
It meant he could use Abe Akaya and the dimensional core to complete the creation of spatial transfer markers.
"Hehe," Sandy chuckled as he approached with a book in hand, "Yes, and it's even more than that."
"More than that? What else have you discovered?"
Sandy teased, "Why don't you take a look at the ancient books I've translated first?"
Fang Heng took the book and rapidly flipped through its pages, his heart involuntarily quickening.
Could it be...?
Unable to contain himself, Sandy blurted out the answer, "More importantly, using the core's positioning, we can pinpoint and absorb the dimensional energy of worlds!"
Positioning!
Fang Heng's face instantly lit up with excitement.
There was this technique too!
Once, while relying on the sacred tree branch to enter dimensional worlds and absorb dimensional strength, Fang Heng pondered a question.
Since each dimensional world corresponded to a beginner or mid-tier game world in the game, could he similarly utilize a Nature's Heart Crystal and the Crown of the Priest to absorb the strength of other game worlds?
With an experimental mindset, Fang Heng attempted to test this theory using a world of vampires.
Unfortunately, the test did not succeed.
The magic array showed no reaction, unable to absorb dimensional strength.
Now he was certain: it was because the sacred tree had not yet conducted the necessary positioning operation on this world.
According to the translated ancient books, positioning required the use of a dimensional core and the recognition of a sacred tree that had inherited the legacy of the first-generation sacred tree of the tree spirit tribe.
In other words, Abe Akaya had already inherited the special ability of dimensional strength. Now, if he could bring Abe Akaya into a new world and perform a positioning ritual using a dimensional core, he could continue to extract dimensional energy from that world using the dimensional core!
In theory, this capability could extend to any world!
Fang Heng pondered, and his eyes gradually lit up.
Mo Jiawei saw that Fang Heng had been silent for a long time and did not respond. He walked to the side and patted his shoulder gently.
"Hey, Fang Heng, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Fang Heng lifted his head, a hint of a smile on his face. "I just have a good idea."
"Oh?"
"Don't worry, I'll sort it out carefully. For now, I need to visit the Inner World and find the Prayer Temple to complete the dimensional level upgrade."
"The 'Inner World'?" Tippy frowned with concern. "Fang Heng, the 'Inner World' is already shrouded in black fog. It's very dangerous."
"Yeah, I'll be careful."
Mo Jiawei lowered his voice, reminding Fang Heng quietly, "Fang Heng, the time for us in the Holy Realm is running short."
"Yeah, no need to worry, I have an idea." Fang Heng chuckled softly, then whispered, "What do you think would happen if the pursuers from the Holy Realm encountered the pollution in the Inner World?"
Mo Jiawei's eyes brightened as he replied, "Are you thinking they might end up fighting each other?"
Gu Qingzhu's expression turned serious with concern. "Fang Heng, the pursuers from the Holy Realm are extremely powerful. You must be extremely careful and avoid taking unnecessary risks."
"I understand. I'll think about it some more."
In fact, Fang Heng had this idea long ago when he first encountered the demonic seed of Pride. However, at that time, his strength was insufficient, and he felt the risk was too great.
With nearly 30 billion energy collected, and a substantial amount of dimensional cores on hand, he just had to find a lucky game world in the next couple of days to make a big draw, reaching a total of 100 billion energy. This would allow for a significant burst in his strength.
This way, his chances would be even better.
Fang Heng didn't want to take such risks, but the current situation was a bit complicated. This was the fastest way for him to complete the mission.
Ideally, he would lure the Holy Realm's pursuers into the Inner World and have a showdown with Pride!
If the Holy Court emerged victorious, considering their usual approach, they would likely eradicate the remaining demonic seed remnants of the Root tribe. Fang Heng would then need to find a way to persuade the Soul tribe to pledge allegiance to complete the world mission and claim the reward.
On the other hand, if the Holy Court lost, at the very least he could evade the pursuit from the Holy Realm. Moreover, during the conflict between the Holy Court and Pride, he might seize the opportunity to eliminate the Root tribe and advance the main storyline...
...
Following the teleportation passage opened by Abe Akaya, Fang Heng once again entered the 'Inner World'.
Unlike the outside world, the 'Inner World' had completely succumbed to a thin layer of black fog.
Under the influence of this black fog, the towering trees that once clustered in layers in the middle layer of the world had begun to wither from the outside of their bark.
Was Pride really planning to turn the 'Inner World' into a base?
Fang Heng swiftly surveyed his surroundings and hurried towards the nearest Prayer Temple.
With the fall of the Leaf tribe and the complete withdrawal of the Soul tribe from the 'Inner World', all the Prayer Temples had been completely abandoned, devoid of any presence.
Soon, Fang Heng entered the Prayer Temple and stood before the magic array.
A dark light condensed and flickered on his forehead, and a drop of crimson blood oozed out, levitating in mid-air!
Bang!
The blood burst open, forming a blood-red teleportation portal.
Prince Carl and his entourage of vampires emerged swiftly through the teleportation gate, each carrying a magic array on their backs, immediately starting to set up Abe Akaya's summoning magic array on the spot.
