Boom.
A bolt of lightning instantly shot towards the back of the mountain. But before it could close in, it was resisted by the aura enveloping the back mountain. Shortly after, the second and third lightning bolts landed, but they were all blocked outside of the aura. At this time, Nangong Shi, who was in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes. Xiao Yan raised his head slightly. His gaze seemed to have passed through the cave and looked towards the sky.
Lightning tribulation? Nangong Shi muttered to himself, and then with a wave of his hand, a wave of Soul force shot out, heading towards the lightning tribulation in the sky.
Following Nangong Shi's attack, the originally pitch-black sky instantly became bright. However, the dark clouds had yet to disperse.
One strike isn't enough? Nangong Shi frowned slightly. Sensing the Soul force in his body tumbling, he immediately summoned the wind-splitting and drew another line.
BOOM!
Following Nangong Shi's slash, a huge axe instantly appeared in the sky, chopping down towards the black cloud. With the fall of the axe, the dark clouds that had already somewhat dissipated instantly disappeared without a trace. Soon after, a ray of multicolored light instantly shone down, heading straight for the cave Nangong Shi was in.
Diamond peak? Nangong Shi slowly withdrew his gaze, only to see the diagram on top of his head.
Fuxi Eight Trigram Diagram?
Nangong Shi just noticed the array diagram above his head and was slightly startled. Sensing the pure Spiritual Energy from the Fuxi Eight Trigram Diagram, he immediately put his thoughts away, closed his eyes again and began absorbing it.
Only after seven days did the light gradually disperse. As for the Fuxi Eight Trigrams Diagram above Nangong Shi's head, it had also turned into a beam of light and shot into Nangong Shi's forehead as the multicolored light disappeared, leaving behind a totem of a Eight Trigrams in between his eyes.
Bang.
Following the loud sound, the cave Nangong Shi was in, suddenly trembled. With Nangong Shi's cattail pad as the center, a crack instantly appeared on the ground. Soon after, a ray of light shot out from the crack.
This is … a spirit vein? Nangong Shi sensed the movements around him, and immediately opened his eyes. As a result, he was able to see the crack beneath it.
No wonder the Night Emperor had moved the entire village here. It turned out that there was a spirit vein hidden beneath the village! Speaking of Spirit Veins, Qing Zhui had actually unintentionally mentioned it. It was said that some powers would also set up their own sects on spirit veins of varying sizes. This would increase the destiny of the sect, and would also help in its cultivation. He hadn't thought that there would be a spirit vein beneath this cave. However, he didn't know whether this spirit vein was small or large. Nangong Shi's mind moved, he instantly used his consciousness to probe the crack.
Heavens!
When Nangong Shi saw it, he was immediately shocked. This spirit vein, was actually a fake dragon vein! One had to know that a dragon's vein could transform into a dragon. Qing Zhui had once said that in their clan, there was a dragon that had reached large success in its cultivation, transforming into a dragon. The dragon vein in front of him was about to break through to the True Dragon Pulse! And once he reaches the True Dragon Meridian, he can transform into a dragon at any time! Moreover, this dragon fountain was actually a true dragon meridian heading north and south!
That's not right! Nangong Shi took a closer look and realized that the dragon vein was out of place. The terrain did not match. Instead, it seemed as if someone had used a great divine ability to teleport over. Could it be the Night Emperor? Oh my god, what kind of strength did the Night Emperor have to break through to have such a sacred art! But, why didn't the Night Emperor absorb the spirit vein himself? It seems like it was prepared for me?
However, Qing Zhui had said before, in this Zhen Wu Continent, aside from that one person from his clan, there were no other dragon meridians. The highest grade of spirit vein here was only a few top quality spirit veins. Moreover, the quality of these spirit veins was also very rare. For a power in the Zhen Wu Continent, having a low level spirit vein as the spirit spring water of a sect, was something they were very excited about. Not to mention the fake dragon vein in front of him!
Nangong Shi could not help but take a deep breath, while at the same time, his heart became slightly excited. If he could absorb this pseudo dragon vein, he would have easily entered the king realm!
Buzz.
Nangong Shi thought for a while, then took out her wind-splitting. With a leap, he grabbed her wind-splitting and jumped into the crevice.
Following Nangong Shi's whereabouts, the wind-splitting in his hands did not idle around. It continued to move, carving out a path for the spirit vein. Only when they were about ten or so meters deep did Nangong Shi stop. Just as he was about to put the wind-splitting back into his body, the artifact spirit suddenly appeared.
"You can't finish absorbing this fake dragon fountain by yourself. It just so happens that I can absorb it a little, and maybe I can even break through to become a supreme immortal equipment. " The artifact spirit did not wait for Nangong Shi to speak, and asked.
"Supreme Celestial Artifact? Are there any rankings for your immortal equipment? " After Nangong Shi heard this, he immediately asked curiously.
"Of course. It's just that you humans don't know. Well, you are my master, after all. It's also a good thing for you that I've upgraded to an Supreme Celestial Artifact. At the very least, if you meet someone with immortal equipment in the future, you can totally ignore them. Alright, let's hurry up and train. I have a feeling that the great calamity is approaching. " After the artifact spirit finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged like Nangong Shi.
"You can absorb it with ease, I'll go to the other side." After Nangong Shi heard this, he immediately became excited. After placing the wind-splitting in front of the artifact spirit, Nangong Shi moved the Soul force and started digging further. After about twenty meters, Nangong Shi finally stopped. Calming the agitation in his heart, Nangong Shi once again returned to his cultivation.
Outside the cave.
Every few days, there would be a clap of thunder in the sky. At first, the villagers were all worried. However, as time slowly passed, other than the occasional clap of thunder, there was no other movement. Everyone else also got used to it and went to do their own things.
"Elder Tianyi. Say, Shi Er, why is it that he hasn't come out yet? It's been five months. " Inside the hall of the Nine Lives Palace, Murong Xue looked at Tian Yi and asked worriedly.
"Little Snow, don't worry. Your precious son is still in the midst of training, there's no need to worry. For Spirit Master to cultivate and go into seclusion, we would at least need a few years and a half. Right now, Shi Er had only been there for five months. Moreover, can't you sense the Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from the back mountain? I think, when that Shi Er comes out of seclusion, he would definitely be shockingly powerful. " Tian Yi said with a serious expression.
"Elder Tianyi, is there something you need?" Seeing that, Nangong Xuan immediately asked.
"Ah, yes. The great calamity for humanity had already begun. According to the news that came from the Nine Lives Palace, the Demon Lord that was killed by the combined and the Four Great Divine Generals of the Night Emperor several thousand years ago had returned. " When Tian Yi saw this, he pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Demon Lord is back!"
"Demon Lord?"
The eight old men who were sitting in the palace also stood up in shock. Seeing that, Nangong Xuan and Murong Xue instantly looked at Elder Tianyi in astonishment.
"This is a long story, I'll tell you both again when I have time. I hope that your Shi Er can come out of seclusion as soon as possible. "Otherwise, I am afraid that no one can resist Demon Lord." Tianyi sighed and looked toward the back of the mountain.
