NOVEL NEXT Chapter 438: Wuzhiqi?
When Ye Bai and the others arrived at the place where the 750 Bureau contained the anomaly, they only saw a sky filled with thunderous light and a pitch-black Primordial Iron Rod.
This containment room was very large, similar to the size of a basketball court.
The underground of the containment room was covered with corrosive black water, and at the center, a Primordial Iron Rod stood tall.
The Primordial Iron Rod emitted the unique cool gray light of Profound Iron across its entire body. The nine-foot-long rod was densely covered with golden patterns as thin as ant legs, resembling a giant dragon coiled on the iron rod.
At the junctions of the dragon-patterned scales, faint traces of dark gold talismans could be seen, and chains as thick as a thumb, meticulously crafted from millennial cold iron, tightly locked the Primordial Iron Rod.
The chains were blue and white, covered with thin threads of frost.
These chains extended from the bottom of the black water and seemed entirely unafraid of its corrosion.
The thunderous light originated from the thunderclouds hovering above the containment area, which were a very special type of elemental pet beast.
They absorbed lightning and continuously released it, striking the chains incessantly.
Once the thundercloud would deplete its internal electricity, it would vanish into the void, followed immediately by the appearance of its companion.
They were like a herd of tireless cattle and horses, even Ye Bai viewed the thunderclouds with a new perspective.
"Stop looking, the thunderclouds were discovered by us, there aren't many of them, mainly used to supply electricity to the entire 750 Bureau."
"If you want to take it away, I can give you one or two, but if you want to research the thundercloud, that might not be possible."
Little Blue's words piqued Ye Bai's curiosity.
He was a senior commander of the entire 750 Bureau, yet unable to take away a thundercloud?
"These thunderclouds don't produce much and have a built-in power generation functionality; once depleted, they automatically disappear into the void."
"Many have proposed conducting in-depth research on the thunderclouds, but so far, no one has managed to create new thunderclouds."
"Instead, the numbers of thunderclouds we've discovered are rapidly declining."
"Currently, the thunderclouds alongside generators barely sustain the electricity needs of the 750 Bureau. If their numbers were to fall again, it would mean many containment rooms could lose power, possibly leading to anomalies escaping."
Little Blue hurriedly explained to Ye Bai, to avoid leaving a bad impression.
"So all our members have signed a contract, prohibiting experiments with the thunderclouds until basic research is completed."

Sawtooth-shaped lightning descended from the sky, spreading along the chains over the Primordial Iron Rod.
Amid the glaring thunderous light, Ye Bai faintly noticed golden patterns on the chains, utilizing the thundercloud's power to seal the Primordial Iron Rod.
"Within the Primordial Iron Rod, a Demon King of Chaos is sealed."
"The former director had to resort to schemes to seal it here."
"I always felt indecisive, as I couldn't determine whether this was the artifact spirit of the Primordial Iron Rod or an anomaly!"
"I reported this Intel upwards only to receive orders to abstain from deep study, which struck me as very odd."
Little Blue's words indeed left Ye Bai feeling puzzled.
He opened his eyes, utilized beauty contact lenses, and activated the Eye of Truth.
Hexagram imprints appeared within his eye sockets; his eyes sent tingling and burning sensations of familiarity.
This made Ye Bai feel a hint of excitement.
This entity's apparent superior level must be the cause of his burning sensation.
Soon, data on the Primordial Iron Rod emerged.
