Usually, when Ruins Chosen use this blessing, they connect with the earth beneath their feet, and even the vast earth veins formed from countless materials beneath the surface. Unless you dig up and completely remove the earth and veins within the connected range, nothing, even a large transport truck or a train coming head-on, could make you retreat a step.

If these two blessings combine, then the Chosen's own defense will soar to the sum of all materials within the range of their spiritual flow.

If it weren't for the interference and contamination of the earth veins during the Rain Blood Disaster using worms, Yue Chen might have just run straight at Ji Jue amidst bombshells and blasted him to bits!

Just these two blessings alone make Ji Jue's outing worthwhile.

Solid Rock and Earth-Connection are crucial cores among many Blessing Chains. Having them on hand means other Blessing Chains like Iron Wall City and Fire Hell Mud Plow are just missing some corner pieces.

In Ji Jue's plan, the sequence chain he wants to complete is a top-tier sequence formed by a pure Ruins series of blessings—Unmoving as a Mountain.

Maximize one's defense, while firmly rooting oneself to the ground, standing unshaken like a towering mountain.

This is the ideal design for Little Ox.

With the essence of Dragon Blood, Little Ox becomes a Ruins Chosen capable of transforming into a vehicle, while Dragon Mountain Armor's defensive power further rises to a level not inferior to Yue Chen's.

Aside from blessings, Yue Chen's matrix under the Dissociation Technique brought nearly mind-blowing insights into the Ruins for Ji Jue. Combined with the fundamentals sneaked from Sister Wen, with a bit more effort, Ji Jue could, like Master Kong, achieve a bootleg version of the Ruins Static Zone within his own spiritual interference range.

Unfortunately, compared to Yue Chen's generosity, the Mutated Wolf left nothing but a bit of toxic blood.

Blessings, soul, and life all whisked away by the White Deer!

And the converted performance was directly delivered to An Ning, leaving Ji Jue with nothing more than a fringe.

What to say, watching the brother in second place on the leaderboard send rockets to others in the live stream, Ji Jue's heart was indeed a bit bittersweet... Hilarious, has anyone said you're really fake? Honestly, I don't really want it either...

Compared to the stingy White Deer, the Great Evil was indeed kinder to himself!

Giving freely, sending willingly, getting mad if refused! With Zhi Fu in front and the White Pavilion at the back, which isn't drawing on their pension to subsidize Ji Jue?

Just like that shattered scale from the Mutated Evil of the White Pavilion.

Even broken, the terrifying life force within remained. How large was that fish's size? Ji Jue was truly unsure. But as Ba Snake squandered so much, only consuming less than a third, it was clear how frightening it was.

Even if this cursed life force completely mutated, acting like poison to Supreme Chosen, utterly failing to replenish oneself, well... And your opponent certainly wouldn't mind either.

With the suppression and guidance of Mutated Alchemy and purification processing by Fluid Alchemy, no need to worry about the Pan Ying Sword's blood sacrifice gap for now.

Such pure quality and terrifying quantity, maybe using up one batch can still forge half of another, with leftovers enough for Ji Jue to craft countless bullets.

At this moment, within Ji Jue's hand, the Pan Ying Remnant Sword hummed softly.

After soaking in fresh blood, the blade lengthened by an inch, edging closer to completion, already beyond halfway!

According to the Han Xiang Chapter, what's next is pathless hard labor, repeatedly tempering and reforging, simultaneously washing the sword and refining the soul, correcting misaligned branches, honing impurities with the craftsman's own consciousness as the whetstone. Through successive blessing additions until the sequence is complete, through constant honing and corrections, gradually suppressing mutation and fierceness, peeling off impurities, and further purifying essence.

Until the ferocity is completely shed, transforming evil to righteousness, from broken to whole, then will it be true Heavenly Craft·Evil Transformation!

But... calculating the modification costs for Little Ox, the materials and equipment needed for Unmoving as a Mountain, and the further investments on the Pan Ying, suddenly Ji Jue felt that the little money earned these past few days didn't seem enough?

Is this the craftsman's money-burning efficiency?

Love it, love it.

With a sense of emotion and regret, Ji Jue lowered his eyes, expression calm, elevating his hand, and slowly pushing his palm across the inclined Pan Ying Sword before his knees.

A strand of spiritual essence with a faint silvery glow entwined around his fingertips, propelled by Fei Gong amidst cooperation and resonance from numerous blessings, slid past the blade edge like a whetstone.

Over and over again, the subtle residual sound of metal friction erupted with the sword body's vibration.

Accompanied by seemingly untiring grind and reshaping, a strand of mist faintly tinged with crimson and pitch-black extruded from the sword edge, caught midair by flowing mercury, sealed in.

It is indeed Pan Ying, with deeply rooted evil.

The Xiang Sword Nine Types has no shortcut, nor convenient trick—the missed classes all have to be made up eventually.

The forging of Pan Ying is certainly easy, but truly wishing to achieve it requires a mental effort several times greater than similar peers in honing.

Using one's spirit and matrix as the whetstone, unless the craftsman remains unwavering, they'll be countered by ferocity. Even with Ji Jue grasping Fei Gong unafraid of erosion, his spiritual essence carrying a trace of Divine Essence of transformation edge dramatically quickening progress compared to others, the effects are immediate, yet still demand long-term effort.

The further it goes, the harder it gets.

But no rush...

Slowly, just slowly.

Under the moon's reflection, Ji Jue raised the sword edge, and gazed at his reflection within the crimson mist, silently laughed.

"Ji Jue, look here! Look here!"

Excited shouts came not far off.

When Ji Jue turned his head, on the dune, An Ning was holding a camera and pressing the shutter. In a crisp sound, the scene under the brilliant night sky seemed preserved forever.

Unfortunately, the parameters were not set right, the focus also had some issues, the picture appeared blurry.

Ji Jue's expression was also dumbfounded.

Not exactly a masterpiece.

Even before the image displayed on the camera, Ji Jue already received the result—only needing a thought, he could delete the photo, but amidst instant hesitation, he saw An Ning's smiling face.

He looked down at the screen's display, unknowingly smiling, eyes gleaming.

Somehow, that glimmer stung his eyes.

... never mind, let her be.

Ji Jue bowed his head, put away the Pan Ying, advised her to sleep early, then yawned, walked towards his sleeping bag.

Long-lost, such relaxation.

Now upon nightfall, surprisingly tired.

Sleep when tired.

No more hustling.

He slipped into his sleeping bag, comfortably leaned against the pillow, gazing at the vast stars above. When he turned back, he met another pair of eyes in the sleeping bag.

"Squeak?"

The clueless little mouse tilted its head, looking at the cave's owner.

Unable to comprehend the situation.

In silence, only Ji Jue's smile stiffened on his face, until finally breaking it.

Roaring skyward:

"An Ning!!!!!!"
