Chapter 413: Revisiting Herb Plane (1/2)
With Uriel's help, characters from an unknown language had been successfully inscribed to the arena platform. Over 50,000 symbols, words, alphabets, and odd doodles that only appeared in fantasy genre novels shone as soon as the array was completed.
”Alright, it's done. Let's leave the stage, and let the array do the work,” Uriel nodded in satisfaction as he levitated away from the platform.
Miaomiao followed after the archangel, flying to the sky and watching the magic.
The random words and symbols slowly merged together at the center of the platform, and a green portal emerged, hovering over the array.
”Oh!” Miaomiao rubbed his hands, looking forward to reuniting and uniting with a certain MILF dryad.
”Okay. My job here is done.”
”Wait. How can I open or close the portal? Could you teach me?”
”Nay. The portal will be permanently opened because of the presence of the Life Essence Pylon Tower. Life Essence has a high affinity with Wood Element Core of the plane, so it will continue to attract to each other until the core is moved to this world.”
”If we bring the core to this world, what about the plane?”
”Obviously, it will cease to exist.”
”…”
”You don't have to worry about that. That plane is on the verge of falling apart after that wood dragon kicked the bucket. You might want to migrate the dryads and the monster beasts from that plane here.”
Not only Uriel suggested Miaomiao migrate the dryads to Siren City, but he also wanted the latter to take in the residents of that plane.
Miaomiao was reluctant whether that was a good idea. He still remembered wild monster trees, insects, and man-eating plants that elders from Myriad Cauldron Sect had told him about.
”Oh, well. Since it's permanently open, can I travel back and forth between planes?”
”Sure. Go ahead. Oh, by the way, I've done everything I could. It's time for me to return home.”
”Already? Why don't you stay for a day or two?”
”No can do. The world guardians will have a heart attack if I keep staying here.”
”Ah, too bad.”
”Well, at least, no sane world guardian will find trouble with you ever again after all the stunts you pulled. Now, they know who has your back.”
Miaomiao smiled at Uriel and extended his hand, gesturing a handshake by reflex.
As if Uriel understood the modern culture, his gas hand grabbed Miaomiao's hand.
”Again, thank you. Give my regards to Joshua, please.”
”You're welcome. We always welcome good angel candidates.”
”You're too kind. Are all angels and Joshua's followers as friendly as you?”
Uriel shrugged, ”Depends. Some are kind, but some are downright assholes. In the end, everyone walks a different road, but they are heading to the same finishing line. I'm just a shepherd, and the rest of the mortals and immortals are lost sheep.”
”…”
”Alright, enough preaching. I need to smoke, and I can't smoke ”IT” in this mortal world. Also, I'll be waiting for you in Heaven.”
Uriel left Miaomiao, but he hadn't departed from the planet yet.
Despite saying that he needed to smoke, Uriel and Azazel talked to the beastmen, the yin slaves, Zhao Bao, monks, orcs, and children in Siren City. Everyone received a mini-bible pocketbook and a strange leaflet, which summarized the teaching of 10 commandments.
Strangely, the monks, Zhao Bao, Zhang Jue, and the orcs welcomed the free stuff since the books promoted peace, order, and moral integrity.
Uriel and Azazel opened another light portal in the middle of the sky and disappeared into the gate afterward. The door to the divine realm was gone along with the duo.
Now that the guardians were gone, Miaomiao decided to visit the herb plane once more. He approached the green portal.
”Wait, Miaomiao.”
Wei Yuan and several girls grinned. They carried their weapons as if they had prepared for a wild adventure trip.
”You're not going to follow me, aren't you?”
”If we don't, you'll probably bring another woman home. Also,” Wei Yuan got closer to Miaomiao and sent a system message.
[You haven't properly introduced the spider woman to us yet. There's also an issue about Wu Guotai since she can't openly join us during the daytime.]
Miaomiao glanced at the message and nodded.
”I'll do something about them. For now, I need to introduce you girls to a new big sister. She is our benefactor and the origin of the hollowed spring water.”
”Oh?”
Now, the girls were more interested.
”Is she the dryad queen you told me about?”
”Yeah. The 7th-stage dryad.”
”Cool, another powerful sister…”
Wei Yuan patted her forehead and sighed. Her husband's indiscriminate sexual desire made her peaceful family life complicated.
Still, all Miaomiao's concubines and yin slaves were either talented individuals or influential figures. As long as they were useful for Miaomiao and Siren City, she didn't mind having another big sister or little sister.
”Oh, check your spatial rings. Make sure you have a lot of room in there since we will probably need to carry a lot of stuff back.”
…
Miaomiao, Wei Yuan, Kang Yan, Ma Xingjuan, Ju Shoufen, Dandan, Mao Xueyan, and the girl gang entered the herb plane.
Most of them had never entered this place before. When they found themselves in the middle of a wide herb farm, they were astonished.
As for Ju Shoufen, who was familiar with this place, she took a deep breath, inhaling the greenish smell of various herbal plants.
”I miss this place. It has been a while.”
The endless field of greenery and the aroma of precious herbs soothed everyone's mind, except for Miaomiao.
As his brain had been constantly improved by the system and his cultivation base, he remembered this place.
It was supposed to be the interior of the herb farm, which was close to the wood element cornfields. However, there was no good corn left, only a field of plucked vegetables remained.
Secondly, this place should have been rich in wood Qi to the point that weak 4th-stage cultivators might get suffocated from staying around here for a few seconds. Yet, Miaomiao could only sense a few strands of wood Qi in the air.
Something might have happened when Miaomiao was away.
”Shoufen, where is the protective array?”
”Hmm?”
