#949 - Wutong Mountain!
Southern Xinjiang, Ten Thousand Mountains!
Snowflakes were floating in the cold sky. In mid-air, two figures rushed past without bringing any change to the surrounding environment.
"Fellow Daoist Ying, the invisibility technique you created is really useful. We have traveled across hundreds of mountains along the way, but not a single monster has discovered our trace..." Chen Changsheng praised sincerely.
That’s right, these two figures were none other than Chen Changsheng and Ying Tianqing who had bid farewell to the Lord of the Demon-Suppressing City.
"It's okay. The main reason is that the monsters below are of average strength. The main strong ones are concentrated on the front line to confront the city lord and others. We have found very few fourth-order great demon kings along the way..." Ying Tianqing replied.
"That's true... The environment of these Hundred Thousand Mountains... isn't very good. Except for a few peaks that are blessed with natural beauty, the spiritual energy on most peaks is very ordinary, and most of them are first or second level spiritual veins..."
"Given the environment being like this, it's extremely difficult for the monsters living here to advance..." Chen Changsheng said.
For spiritual practice, spiritual energy is a necessity!
“If the Ten Thousand Mountains are a place for spiritual cultivation, then why would the human cultivators exile these monsters here?” Ying Tianqing said with a smile.
It is because the spiritual energy here is poor, the number of ordinary spiritual veins is not large, and the high-level spiritual veins are even rarer, so it was chosen by the human cultivators to expel the defeated demons here...
There are many benefits to doing this.
As the saying goes, those who forget war will be in danger!
Firstly, the existence of demons in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Xinjiang is a warning to human cultivators.
Secondly, human cultivators also need the monster materials from the demon race for their practice, and exiling them here can lead to sustainable development!
Thirdly, the spiritual energy here is scarce. Even if the monsters are allowed to breed here, because of the spiritual energy, not too many fourth-order monster kings will be born. Everything is within the control of human cultivators!
"That's true... Compared to human cultivators, these monsters still have many advantages, such as long lifespan and fast reproduction rate..." Chen Changsheng nodded.
Of course, the monsters are not without their shortcomings, and that is that their cultivation speed is too slow. They are not at the same level as human cultivators!
“Yes, even humans who become gods can only live for more than 2,000 years, but the lifespan of any fourth-level monster is much longer than that…” Ying Tianqing nodded.
What's more, someone like Feng Mu could live from ten thousand years ago to the present day, which is simply incredible...
"Wutong Mountain... should be almost there, right?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Well, we'll almost be there after we climb over the twelve mountains ahead!" Ying Tianqing nodded.
Wutong Mountain is located in the middle of the Ten Thousand Mountains. It is a rare spiritual place in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Otherwise, it would not have been chosen by the Phoenix Mother!
"Hmm... the closer we get to Wutong Mountain, the more I can feel that the spiritual energy around us seems to be a lot richer..." said Chen Changsheng.
"That's true... If nothing unexpected happens, Wutong Mountain should be the mountain with the most abundant spiritual energy among the 100,000 mountains!" Ying Tianqing said.
If not for this... Phoenix Mother would not have been able to break through to the Spiritualization Realm here, not to mention that she also trained dozens of fourth-order Phoenix clan members...
"How is it? You haven't been back for so many years. Do you feel homesick?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Are you afraid of being close to home?"
"I am a little excited...but it's all because I'm about to rescue my daughter!" Ying Tianqing shook his head.
The two chatted as they walked, and soon they passed through more than a dozen mountains...
"This... should be Wutong Mountain, right? It is indeed a rare spiritual place among the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The spiritual energy here... has vaguely exceeded the fourth level..." Chen Changsheng said in surprise.
Such a spiritual vein, even with Chen Changsheng's knowledge, he has only seen a better one in the Central Imperial City. Even the spiritual vein under the Demon-Suppressing City seems to be on par with this one!
"Well, have you noticed that, within the dozen or so mountains surrounding Wutong Mountain, although the spiritual energy floating in the air is much more abundant than in other places, these mountains are bare, and not even a blade of grass can grow?" Ying Tianqing said.
"I discovered this before... What's going on?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"I once heard Jiuer say that it was a great magical formation set up by Phoenix Mother that extracted the spiritual veins from the surrounding mountains to nourish the spiritual veins of Wutong Mountain..."
“That’s why the spiritual vein of Wutong Mountain appears so majestic, while the surrounding mountains do not have a trace of life…” Ying Tianqing said.
"So it is... This Phoenix Mother is so powerful!" Chen Changsheng couldn't help but say.
Chen Changsheng also knew about this kind of formation. He had heard of similar formations in the Royal Academy of Immortal Cultivation.
However, this thing is a forbidden formation. Only a very small number of people can learn it. It is not open to ordinary students.
The main reason is that, although this type of formation can cultivate a high-level spiritual vein, the damage to the surrounding environment is too great. Overall, it is not worth the cost. Therefore, the Central Dynasty does not allow this type of formation to be spread out at will. Even if a formation master sets up this formation, it is considered a violation of the laws of the Central Dynasty and will be punished!
"It's just harming others to benefit oneself!" Ying Tianqing shook his head slightly.
"Now that we have arrived at Wutong Mountain, what are your plans next?"
"Should we act separately or together?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Although this was his first time at Wutong Mountain, Ying Tianqing had already told him everything about the situation here...
"Let's split up. I'll go find my daughter first, and you go find the Fire Phoenix... We are so close now, I think you should be able to sense the location of the Fire Phoenix, right?" Ying Tianqing asked.
"Speaking of this, I also feel strange... I still can't sense the location of the Fire Phoenix, but... I know it's not dead!" Chen Changsheng said.
The Fire Phoenix is Chen Changsheng's spiritual beast and has signed a contract with him. There is a trace of the Fire Phoenix's soul in Chen Changsheng's soul. Relying on the sensitivity of this trace of soul, if the distance is close, it can find the other party's location. If the distance is too far, it can also sense the other party's life or death!
"Haven't you sensed it yet?"
"Strange... Could it be... that the Phoenix Clan used some secret technique to block your perception?" Ying Tianqing asked in surprise.
"I don't know...but...I should know soon!"
"Didn't Fengjiu say that she took the Fire Phoenix to the Nirvana Pool? Since we are going to act separately, you go find your daughter, and I will go to the Nirvana Pool first to take a look at the situation!" Chen Changsheng said.
Fire Phoenix...
Nothing should happen...
