This place is completely different from the outside world.
Vibrant with life, green and red plants can be seen everywhere.
But Fang Yu’s gaze was focused on a pool of light blue spring water ahead.
This must be the spring.
Ahead, a clear azure spring lay visible.
The area of the spring water is not large, about one hundred square meters.
Fang Yu took a deep breath, his expression enjoying himself.
The surrounding spiritual energy is truly abundant.
This made him feel as if he were transported back four thousand years, when the spiritual energy on Earth was so abundant in every corner.
Fang Yu walked towards the spirit spring.
The color of the spring water is different from ordinary spring water, with a faint blue light, but it looks very pure.
“The Spring! We found the Spring!”
At this time, Zhong Yuan and the others also came out of the cave. Seeing this pool of pale blue spring water, they were overjoyed.
“This is truly a spirit spring… The spiritual energy of this place far surpasses that outside. If we could cultivate here for some time, our cultivation would surely progress at an incredibly fast rate!” An elder’s eyes were filled with excitement as he spoke.
“Let’s not talk about anything else, first we should get some spirit spring water and try it!” Zhongyuan quickly walked towards the spirit spring.
“Brother, hold on!” Zhongli Yu called out to Zhong Yuan.
“Just now, I heard Han Gongzi say that there are many restrictions here. If you approach the Spirit Spring rashly, you might trigger the power of the restrictions,” Zhongli Yu said.
Hearing what Zhongli Yu said, Zhong Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that he had indeed gotten too excited.
Remembering the two elders who had become mummies before, he broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, he looked at Fang Yu, who was standing beside the spirit spring, motionless.
“Master Fang, what do you think? Are there any restrictions here?” Zhongyuan asked.
Fang Yu did not answer Zhong Yuan’s words.
His focus at this time was not on the spring before him.
He is searching for the source of the spirit spring.
After emerging from the cave, the entire world felt noticeably more vibrant and alive.
This indicates that there must be a source of spiritual energy emanating in this vicinity.
Whether it is the spring or the thriving plants surrounding it, they all originated from this source.
Source, where is it?
With Fang Yu’s sensitivity, he could see that the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in this small world was the spring.
“There’s no external contact, so there can be no upstream… Where do these springs come from? Could they be rising from underground?” Fang Yu thought to himself.
The essence of this little world probably originates from beneath the spirit spring!
Thinking of this, Fang Yu walked forward.
“Master Fang, what are you doing?” Zhong Yuan asked when he saw Fang Yu suddenly walk forward.
Fang Yu turned to look at Zhong Yuan and said, “I’m going down for a while.”
“Shall we go down?”
Everyone was astonished.
“Master Fang… you mean, you want to jump into the Spirit Spring?” Zhongli Yu asked, her eyes widening.
“Well, if you want to leave early, you can leave anytime. You don’t have to wait for me.” Fang Yu said.
In the midst of their conversation, Fang Yu had already walked to the side of the spirit spring.
Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
“Wow!”
A shrill sound pierced the air, much like the scraping of a sharp blade.
A streak of silver flashed through the air, aimed straight at Fang Yu’s neck!
“Bang!”
A sharp, brittle sound of something hard colliding.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The whistling of blades sliced through the air, silver glinting as they flew towards Fang Yu.
Fāng Yǔ still stood there, not moving an inch.
His neck, though slashed repeatedly by the silver light, bore not a single mark.
Zhong Yuan and the others widened their eyes, their faces filled with astonishment.
Fang Yu touched his neck, smiled faintly, and said, “If you want to cut off my head, you’ll need a sharper blade. I also want to let myself bleed.”
“Boom!”
It seemed that Fang Yu’s words had enraged him, and a deafening roar echoed from the sky.
“This, this is…”
At this moment, Zhong Yuan and the others finally saw the outline of a giant axe appearing in the sky.
It is not a physical object, seeming to be merely condensed from true energy, but it looks extremely terrifying.
The moment he saw it, the giant axe descended upon Fang Yu, aiming straight for his head!
Fang Yu remained calm and collected, raising his right hand, palm facing the giant axe.
At this moment, the axe’s blade is about to strike Fang Yu.
Fang Yu’s right palm grasped in the air!
“Boom!”
The giant axe hadn’t even gotten close to Fang Yu before it shattered!
“I don’t have time to waste with you. You can’t stop me.” Fang Yu seemed to be talking to someone, and then he leaped into the spirit spring.
…all around, peace returned. …
Zhong Yuan and several others stood by the bank, looking at each other in bewilderment.
……
Fang Yu jumped into the Spirit Spring and felt a wave of comfort, as if all the pores on his body had opened up.
The spring is very deep, deeper than usual.
But this also proves that Fang Yu was right.
Beneath the spring lies the source of this spiritual energy!
Fāngyǔ quickly sank downwards, descending about twenty meters before finally reaching the bottom.
At this moment, he could sense a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanating from beneath his feet.
The spring should be formed by underground water springing up, just need to find the entrance.
A few minutes later, he found a hole at the edge of the spring.
The spring water, it comes flowing out from this cave opening!
Fang Yu hesitated for no moment and dove straight in.
After that, there was a pitch-black passage.
Passing through the pitch-black corridor, a dazzling blue light appeared ahead!
Looking at the scene before him, Fang Yu’s eyes were filled with excitement.
How many years has it been!
How many years has it been since I’ve seen such a massive spiritual vein!
Fang Yu came to the groundwater layer, and before him was a spiritual vein that was dozens of meters long and shimmering with blue light!
Spirit veins are primordial crystal formations containing spiritual energy.
Thousands of years ago, on Earth, cultivators commonly used spirit stones as a medium of exchange. Spirit stones were cultivated from spiritual veins.
In the past, all major cultivation sects had a spirit vein within their sect. The spirit vein was the foundation of a sect and also its lifeline.
The war between the sects in the cultivation world of that year was sparked by a dispute over spiritual veins.
Part of the sects and demonic cults, disapproving of the righteous alliance’s control over most of the spiritual veins, declared war.
It can be said that the value of a spiritual vein far surpasses that of a large sect!
“Damn it, I’m not dreaming, am I…to actually find a spiritual vein this large and long!?” Fang Yu couldn’t even believe it.
He had lived for almost five thousand years, his heart long worn smooth.
But facing this spiritual vein, he could no longer keep his composure!
Even if it were placed thousands of years ago, Fang Yu had never faced such a large spiritual vein alone!
What’s more, he now wants to break through the 10,000 layers of the Qi Refining Stage.
If Fang Yu could fully absorb the spiritual energy of this meridian, he might be able to reach the first ten thousand layers of the Qi Refining Stage today!
This is a whole vein of spiritual energy! It’s enough to nurture a large sect.
But, he can now enjoy it all by himself!
Fang Yu no longer hesitated and rushed towards the spiritual vein.
“Boy, stop right there! You trespassed into the forbidden grounds of our Yin Yue clan and even dared to attack our Yin Yue clan’s spiritual veins?” At this moment, a deep voice like thunder boomed into Fang Yu’s ears.
“Shadow Moon Clan? I’ve never heard of it.” Fang Yu replied with a faint smile.
“I am the guardian will left by the first chief of the Ying Yue clan. If you take another step closer, I will immediately kill you!” The other party was extremely angry.
“If you could kill me, you would have done it already. Why waste words? You can’t do anything to me.” Fang Yu said as he moved closer to the spiritual vein.
“Boy, die!” Guardian Will roared.
Fang Yu’s surroundings suddenly experienced a tremendous force, squeezing him.
An ordinary warrior, even a master, would probably be crushed into paste the instant they encountered such force.
But Fang Yu didn’t even change his swimming posture, with a calm expression.
At this moment, a strange aura appeared.
This aura was the same one Fang Yu had sensed when the village head and Elder Zhong turned into corpses before.
“Kid, I’m going to drain all your life force! As the raw material for our Shadowmoon Clan’s bloodline rebirth!” Guardian Will roared.
A sudden wave of gray gas appeared, engulfing Fang Yu’s body.
It seeped into every pore on Fang Yu’s body!
It will drain Fang Yu’s life force, turning him into a desiccated corpse!
