Chapter 685: Chapter 584: Test
Looking at the cluster of Moonlight before him, Jeming’s thoughts shifted slightly.
A moment later, the laboratory door was pushed open.
A Black Giant Priest walked in swiftly, bowing respectfully.
"Master."
Behind him were two ordinary Black Giants, collectively carrying a translucent incubation container.
Inside the container, a fist-sized metallic object floated quietly in the high-concentration Energy Liquid, faintly revealing slight pulsations within.
"According to your orders, I’ve brought an embryo that has yet to hatch."
Jeming nodded with satisfaction.
Not only satisfied with the efficiency of the Black Giant Priest, but also with the convenience of the Fate System.
Earlier, he just had a thought, and his order was relayed through the Incense Fire Divine Dao to all the Black Giant Priests.
The nearest Black Giant Priest received the order and immediately executed it.
Of course, here Jeming was merely a command transmitter, while in the Cultivation Immortality World, some mortals refer to this thing as an "Oracle."
As a system of the Divine Dao, the Incense Fire Divine Dao naturally has the basic function of mutual communication with followers.
If Jeming wished, he could even monitor the status of every Black Giant at any time.
What they were doing, thinking, even all they perceive, he could receive in real-time through the Fate System.
But doing that would constantly drain a massive amount of Calculation Power.
He’s not like those "Divine Spirits" that need Faith to survive.
He’s a Wizard, so rather than waste Calculation Power constantly monitoring followers, it’s better to spend more effort learning new knowledge.
Thus, he usually only issues orders through the Fate System and doesn’t receive feedback.
"Put it there."
Jeming gestured to the lab table.
The Black Giant Priest directed the two subordinates to place the incubation container properly and then left the room with them.
Jeming stepped to the lab table and stared at the embryo inside the container for a few seconds.
This is a Third Level Black Giant embryo, not yet ready for hatching, perfect for experimentation.
He extracted the cluster of Moonlight Power, separated about half, and cautiously injected it into the incubation container.
Silver light merged into the nutrient fluid, slowly permeating the embryo.
The pulsations on the embryo’s surface seemed to accelerate slightly, but the change was not obvious.
Jeming placed the container into an already prepared array beside him.
It’s a hatch simulation array he designed, capable of precisely controlling energy supply and environmental stimuli, fully simulating the state of an incubation pool.
"Maintain stable incubation."
He set the parameters and then returned to the lab table.
Staring at the remaining half of the Moonlight Power in his hand, Jeming thought for a moment, then directly swallowed it.
The Moonlight Power entered the throat, tasteless, spread a cool sensation from the throat throughout the entire body.
He closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and began to perceive changes within.
The cool sensation traveled upward, eventually converging near the Sea of Spirit.
Then it began to penetrate the Soul.
Slowly, gently, like moonlight itself, serene.
Jeming carefully sensed it.
The Moonlight Power didn’t enhance his Cultivation—after all, that amount was far from enough.
But it indeed touched his Soul, making those subtle impurities at the Soul’s edges, usually hard to detect, feel a slight "cleansing."
A moment later, Jeming opened his eyes.
"The effect is average."
He objectively evaluated.
In terms of pure effects, the Moonlight Power’s enhancement of the Soul doesn’t compare to those Magic Potions specifically for increasing Soul Purity.
Even a First Level soul-related Magic Potion would have an effect at least ten times greater than this experience.
But the Moonlight Power has one unparalleled advantage...
It’s free.
Or rather, its cost is nearly zero.
Just set up an array and consume a bit of activation energy, and you can continuously gather it from the moonlight.
Moreover, compared to consuming Magic Potions, this thing has no resistance.
As long as the Soul can digest it, you can use as much as you’d like.
Jeming stood up, eyes flashing with contemplative light.
For the sake of this effect alone, the Moonlight Power is worth mass collection.
He quickly walked to the lab table and pulled up the detailed map of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
On the light screen, the entire plane’s terrain, resource distribution, and Black Giant residential areas were clearly marked.
"Based on optimal collection efficiency, place an array at intervals..."
Jeming traced his finger on the map.
According to knowledge from the Great Dao Book Pavilion, the amount of Moonlight that can be collected in a unit area is limited.
It’s not better to have more arrays; densely deployed would result in resource waste.
The most appropriate strategy is to place an array at certain intervals, allowing each array to cover its own region.
He marked the positions for the first batch of arrays on the map, primarily distributed around the Black Giant residential areas, while also considering remote but open terrain areas.
Then he issued another Oracle via the Fate System.
This time, the content was more detailed:
"All Black Giant Priests heed the command. Starting today, around every Black Giant small community, install a Moonlight collection array. The array specifications and installation methods are as follows..."
He transmitted the detailed array diagram, Rune structure, and energy node requirements to every Black Giant Priest via the Fate System.
"After installation, integrate Moonlight collection with your ritual ceremonies. During each ritual, collectively gaze at the moon to reinforce concept recognition of the moon."
This is a crucial step.
Moonlight Power essentially comes from "concept."
The stronger the Black Giants’ recognition of the moon, the stronger this concept becomes, thus allowing more Moonlight to be collected.
By binding collection arrays with rituals, it’s a two-birds-with-one-stone scenario.
After arranging everything, Jeming turned to the incubation container.
Inside, the embryo was undergoing significant changes.
The originally fist-sized metallic cluster had now expanded to the size of an adult’s head.
The pulsations on its surface grew more potent, faintly revealing outlines of limbs taking shape.
Jeming squinted, activating the All-Purpose Eye.
In his vision, information within the embryo was evolving wildly, each step faster than a normal Black Giant embryo.
"Is the Moonlight Power accelerating the incubation?"
He quickly recorded this phenomenon.
After a while, the embryo had enlarged to the point of bursting the original container, and the development was finally complete.
The metallic mass suddenly contracted, then expanded, contracted again, then expanded...
Accompanied by the last intense pulsation, the shell ruptured, and a black organism crawled out.
A Third Level Black Giant.
Born already over ten meters tall, its body surface covered by the characteristic black liquid metal layer.
It lifted its head blankly, looking at Jeming, eyes carrying the inherent innocence of a newborn.
"Lie down."
Jeming pointed to the nearby metallic platform, just crafted with Alchemy.
The Black Giant hesitated briefly, then obediently climbed up and lay flat.
Jeming waved his hand, a large array unfolded, beginning its examination.
Activating both the All-Purpose Eye and Alchemy, Spiritual Power probed from torso to limbs, from Energy Core to Soul Fluctuation, not neglecting any detail.
The examination lasted several minutes.
The results surprised him somewhat.
Data-wise, this Black Giant falls within the "normal range."
Externally, it seemed slightly more agile than ordinary Black Giants: its gaze more lively, reactions quicker, and sensitivity to the surrounding environment sharper.
However, this difference is minor and doesn’t exceed the fluctuations of normal Black Giants.
"Sample size too small."
Jeming withdrew his Spiritual Power and wrote in his record book:
[Test of Moonlight Power’s Impact on Black Giant Embryo (First Attempt)]
[Injection amount: Half portion of Moonlight Power (approximately equivalent to half the total energy of First Level Witchcraft)]
[Result: Incubation speed increased by about 30%; no obvious abnormalities in individual characteristics; spiritual enhancement slight but not significant]
[Conclusion: More sample testing needed]
He closed the record book, casting a glance at the Black Giant.
The creature lay on the platform, gazing at him with longing eyes, unsure of what to do next.
"Get down and find your tribe’s priest."
Jeming waved dismissively.
The Black Giant rose, trotting out the door.
Jeming watched its back thoughtfully.
Moonlight Power shouldn’t harm creatures like Black Giants with relatively weak Soul Power.
Next time, more tests need to be performed to confirm the exact effects.
He turned to look out the window.
In the distance, in the Black Giants’ residential area, Moonlight collection arrays were rising one after another.
