Chapter 313: 187_2
Not encountering many people did not mean encountering none at all.
Fearing interference from others in his mission, Milton Cheney had already laid out a magic array in advance.
That’s why his location could not be discovered by anyone.
Inside a place of residence.
Milton Cheney, as usual, fed the Chi orchids with his spiritual power.
After feeding them, he withdrew his Spiritual Power back into the Spiritual Sea.
The Chi Orchid doesn’t need daily feeding, once every five days is sufficient.
Feeding them with spiritual power enhances their growth cycle.
Maintaining a feeding cycle every five days would cut the flowers’ maturity cycle by half, to around a hundred years.
Without the use of spiritual power, the Chi Orchid would take at least three hundred years to fully mature.
To ensure the speedy completion of his mission, Milton would of course not neglect feeding the Chi Orchid.
By now he had been in the Stellar Realm for more than seventy years, feeding the Chi Orchid ever since he arrived.
If the Wizard Realm were a suitable environment for the Chi Orchid to live in somewhere.
Then, had Milton known about his mission ahead of time, he definitely would have prepared it during his time in the Wizard Realm.
That way, if things went smoothly, he could have completed this mission instantly upon arriving in this world.
Of course, in theory, even without the Chi Orchid, the mission could still be completed.
Milton happened to complete his first mission ‘luckily’ without relying on the Chi Orchid.
If this mission is likened to a game, then the Chi Orchid would be a ‘prop’ to clear the game.
This prop is optional, but using it would definitely ‘simplify the game’.
Besides, a fully matured Chi Orchid is an extremely rare treasure.
There is hardly such a treasure in the Wizard Realm; Milton had purchased the Chi orchid seeds from Sir Thompson at a considerable cost in magic stones.
Milton rested the Chi Orchid back in the corner of the room.
He then sat on his bed, resumed the operation of his Meditation Routes, and began practicing his Meditation Technique.
The most vital rule for such long-term missions is to refrain from impatience.
Fortunately, even though Milton was physiologically young, his mental age was extremely mature.
Thus, even after staying alone on Ten Thousand Stars Island for seventy years, he did not feel restless, but rather calm.
He had stayed in even worse and darker environments.
And for thousands of years at that; compared to this, his current situation was child’s play.
Not to mention, he spent the majority of his time each day practicing his Meditation Technique.
So, seventy years was nothing. Even if he had to stay here alone for seven hundred years, Milton wouldn’t feel restless.
Last time, experiencing thousands of years in the Hatching Stage of a Reincarnation Simulation had seemed like a rehearsal to Milton.
……
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two decades had passed.
Stellar Realm, Ten Thousand Stars Island, the residence.
During this time, Milton had never left Ten Thousand Stars Island.
Nor did he take the initiative to contact the rest of the people in this world.
Milton had some knowledge about the attitude towards wizards in this world.
However, even if this world did not reject wizards, Milton had no interest in becoming entangled with it.
Milton was well aware of the power of the butterfly effect.
If he encountered any conflicts in this world that ultimately affected his mission, it would definitely be a loss rather than a gain.
Milton might come to experience the local customs of this world if he gets the chance in the future.
But not now.
Because this time, he was here to complete a mission from the Guardian Sea and did not want any complications.
Milton moved his gaze to the Chi Orchid in front of him.
At this moment, the Chi Orchid had just been fed by Milton using his Spiritual Power and was gently swaying.
Compared to eighty years ago, the overall form of the Chi Orchid had not changed significantly.
There was no change in size.
The only difference was the color of the Chi Orchid.
Eighty years ago, the immature Chi Orchid was light blue.
But now, the surface of the Chi Orchid was deep purple.
This was the hallmark of a fully matured Chi Orchid.
A moment later, the Chi Orchid stopped swaying and emitted a refreshing fragrance.
An entire Chi Orchid naturally fell into the pot on its own.
Upon seeing this, a certain satisfaction appeared in Milton’s eyes.
“It’s finally matured.”
The blooming of the Chi Orchid represented that his hundreds of years of waiting and nurturing have not been in vain.
Similarly, it also indicates that his current mission is about to conclude.
In the coming period, he likely will not have time to practice the Meditation Technique anymore, he needs to focus on completing the mission.
The sooner he completes the mission, the sooner he can leave this world.
The next moment, Milton Cheney mobilized his spiritual power from within his Spiritual Sea.
The spiritual power swirled around Milton Cheney, and a thread of it surged towards the Chi Orchid.
This Spiritual Power successfully enveloped the Chi Orchid and immediately transformed into an orb emitting white light, floating in front of Milton Cheney.
Milton Cheney’s silhouette flickered and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already above the Star Ocean.
This time, his mission’s target was a creature in this Star Ocean.
If this mission was compared to fishing, then the Chi Orchid floating before him was the finest bait.
It could greatly enhance his chances of accomplishing the mission.
Floating above the sea region, a thread of spiritual power burrowed into the Star Ocean.
After entering the Star Ocean, this spiritual power became a pair of eyes.
At the same time, the scenery of the Star Ocean appeared in Milton Cheney’s mind.
Although the bait has been prepared, the key to successfully completing the mission is not related to the quality of the bait.
It hinges upon whether he can find the mission target.
In the following time, Milton Cheney will remain above the Star Ocean until he completes his mission and leaves.
As time gradually passed, Milton Cheney showed no signs of anxiety.
There is still plenty of time, and Milton Cheney is fully prepared now, so completing the task is just a matter of time.
Above the Star Ocean, the figure of Milton Cheney would occasionally disappear, then reappear.
The Eye of Truth freely inspected the scenery within the Star Ocean.
Although this method was not efficient, it was indeed the best approach.
After all, he had no assistance, the completion of the mission relied entirely on him alone.
This mission was not difficult in essence, so Milton Cheney naturally didn’t need assistance.
One person was enough.
……
As time passed, seven years later.
Stellar Realm, at the heart of the Star Ocean.
Milton Cheney’s spiritual power, hovering above the Star Ocean, suddenly erupted.
A large stream of spiritual power gushed forth from his Spiritual Sea, transforming into a large spiritual hand and slapped down onto the surface of the Star Ocean beneath him.
“Boom!”
The clash of the spiritual power against the surface of the Star Ocean created a colossal sound.
The creatures inside the Star Ocean scattered and fled.
Milton Cheney didn’t resort to magic, but purely called upon his spiritual power.
After all, the power of magic was too great, which might lose more than gained.
The next moment, the Chi Orchid, enveloped by the glyceric spiritual power, flew into the Star Ocean.
The Chi Orchid entered the Star Ocean, feeling extremely heavy, and sinking slightly.
The next moment, the spiritual power that had been enveloping the Chi Orchid was returned by Milton Cheney.
The Chi Orchid began to float upwards.
At this moment, a shadow flashed past, and the Chi Orchid disappeared in an instant.
The moment he saw this shadow, a light flashed in Milton Cheney’s eyes.
“It has come!”
Milton Cheney muttered to himself.
He naturally would not stay idle.
The spiritual power turned into Spatial Chains, and restrained the space around him.
But in the confined space, there was nothing.
Milton Cheney wasn’t fazed, just because he couldn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
He had kept the related memories of mission completion after his previous Text Simulation, so he was naturally very familiar with this mission’s target.
Therefore, without any further words, Milton Cheney drew a pitch-black diamond gem from his hand.
The next moment, everything that had been sealed by his magic in this space was drawn into the diamond gem in Milton Cheney’s hand.
For an instant, there was a gap in the Star Ocean, but it was immediately filled by the surrounding seawater.
“It’s done.”
Milton Cheney packed away the diamond gem, and his silhouette hovering above the Star Ocean disappeared.
