"Creak …"
The bamboo door creaked and slowly opened.
Jiang Xiaofan walked out of the bamboo building. The surrounding crystals were a little dim and emitted a dark red color. In this deep underground space, the crystals simulated the sunrise and sunset of the outside world, which was quite magical.
Jiang Xiaofan walked to the edge of the spring and watched the clear spring flow. Traces of spirit energy mixed with water vapor permeated the surroundings. Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The outside world fought for the spirit energy and spirit veins. After a thousand years of turmoil, the four major sects of Howling Heaven City came into being. The so-called spirit veins were not even as fertile as this half-foot-wide stream.
Apart from the Green Dragon bloodline, the reason why the Long and Bai families were able to stand in the northern border for a thousand years was also because of the Long and Bai families occupying the Tian Que Mountain. Just this spirit energy alone and the cultivation experts sent to the two families every year, if they couldn't dominate the northern border, then they shouldn't be around anymore.
Feeling the spirit energy surging out continuously, Jiang Xiaofan walked around the fake mountain and came to the back. The back of the fake mountain was covered by a large number of vines. It was obvious that no one had been here for many years. However, Jiang Xiaofan could clearly feel a special power.
He couldn't explain it clearly, but he just felt that this fake mountain should be hiding something!
From the moment he came to the third level, he felt this power immediately. However, he was in a hurry to save Long Xi and didn't think too much about it.
Now, if he wanted to get close to the dragon vein, he had to continue going down. The Long Family had occupied this place for more than a thousand years. Their development of the dragon vein's spirit energy was definitely not limited to this third level. Therefore, Jiang Xiaofan was almost certain that there was something unknown about this fake mountain!
He pushed aside the layers of vines and weeds and indeed found a secret door behind the fake mountain!
There was a two-meter-tall and one-meter-wide stone door in the rocks. It was seamlessly integrated with the fake mountain. Even if one looked closely, they might not be able to notice it. If not for the fact that Jiang Xiaofan could feel the power seeping out from the gap, it would really be difficult to find it.
"Seems like there's a secret passage in this fake mountain that can connect to the bottom. Tapir, take a look and see if this thing is dangerous." Jiang Xiaofan asked in a low voice.
The Tapir sensed it slightly and said, "Are you trying to make things difficult for me? This is just a normal fake mountain! "
"Hiss … …"
Jiang Xiaofan took a deep breath and frowned. He knew how powerful the Tapir's senses were. This fake mountain had such obvious special spiritual power, how could the Tapir not sense it?
Seems like I can't count on the Tapir. Jiang Xiaofan took a step forward and gently touched the edge of the stone door. Unexpectedly, with just a light touch, the fake mountain suddenly shook, and the stone door quietly and slowly opened!
At the same time, a gush of spiritual power tried to rush out of the dark hole, but it was trapped by an invisible force!
Jiang Xiaofan could feel this force even more clearly. He couldn't explain it, but he knew he must go down and find out!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan walked into the pitch-black cave without saying a word.
In the weeds behind the fake mountain, a little light flickered, and then a small jade worm slowly crawled out.
In the house in the Heaven Fault Mountain Immortal Abode, Bai Shao sat cross-legged in the house. The array around her shone, and everything the jade worm saw was transmitted into her mind.
After a long time, the array closed up. She let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Luckily I set up a large array to block the energy emitted by the opening of the passage to the fourth layer. Otherwise, if you alerted those two, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Heaven Fault Mountain … …"
Bai Shao got up and took out a white pigeon from the birdcage. She placed a small jade the size of a grain of rice on its ankle, opened the window, and let it fly.
As he watched the white pigeon fly off into the distance, a gust of light breeze blew by, and Bai Shao's veil was removed to reveal his exquisite and moving appearance.
Her expression was a little gloomy, and she murmured, "In seven years, three people have died in the Dragon Vein. Fu Shi, I hope you won't be the fourth."
… …
"Thud … …"
With a soft sound, Jiang Xiaofan landed on the ground. His legs slightly arched, alleviating the impact of landing!
Damn, who would've thought that there was a drop of over a thousand meters deep in this pitch-black hole. He landed directly on the ground. Luckily, Jiang Xiaofan was in the Earth Martial Arts Realm and could fly in the air, or else he would've been smashed into meat paste and died without a whole corpse!
But obviously, he was right to come!
Because the spiritual energy around him was a thousand times denser than in the third level!
Jiang Xiaofan knew that the Dragon Vein could be said to be right in front of him, or else there would not be such a strong spiritual power!
Needless to say, the thick power almost made Jiang Xiaofan's body explode. If not for the Spirit Devouring Stone absorbing most of the spiritual power and the Tapir protecting his heart meridian, he would've exploded and died!
No wonder the Cultivation Space only opened to the third level. It was indeed too difficult for cultivators to go further!
Jiang Xiaofan was surrounded by thick spiritual power, as if he was walking in a sticky liquid, and his movements became a little slow.
In front of him was a long and thin tunnel, the end of which was glowing. Jiang Xiaofan walked slowly towards the only path.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, a ray of light shone out. Jiang Xiaofan raised his hand to block the light and squinted his eyes. It took a long time for him to adapt.
When he put down his hand, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him!
In front of him was a huge blue Dragon Vein!
This Dragon Vein was made of blue crystals. Looking at it, it was hundreds of meters long. It was a real three-clawed divine dragon, except that its head was a little big. Apart from looking mighty, it looked a little cute.
Although it was a Dragon Vein made of crystals, perhaps because of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, this Dragon Vein was very lifelike and had a little spirit. If he was not sure that this thing was dead, Jiang Xiaofan would really think that it was a sleeping giant dragon.
But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that there were two young men standing at the head of the dragon. They looked to be only a few years older than Jiang Xiaofan, but the energy that they exuded shocked Jiang Xiaofan!
This was the strange energy that he felt from outside the fake mountain. But at this time, the two of them were no longer alive. They were like corpses, standing straight next to the Dragon Vein with one hand on the Dragon Vein.
The energy that they exuded was not the same as the spiritual power of the Dragon Vein. To be precise, this was …
"Godhead!"
At this time, the Water God suddenly shouted in Jiang Xiaofan's mind. This shocked Jiang Xiaofan and he almost jumped up.
But Jiang Xiaofan did not complain, because he was deeply attracted by these two words!
"Senior Water God, what did you just say? Godhead? "A bold guess appeared in Jiang Xiaofan's mind!
Could it be that these two people are also the reincarnations of the God of Creation and came to find the Dragon Vein?
Looking at their expressions and actions, it seemed that they came here and grinded the Dragon Vein like Jiang Xiaofan. After that, their lives were fixed at this moment, and there was no future.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan could not help but take a few steps back. At this moment, the Water God said, "These two people also inherited the God of Creation's Godhead, but their minds were taken away by the Dragon Vein and they died here, sigh …"
Jiang Xiaofan said with a trembling voice, "Damn! The Dragon Vein is so powerful? Two cultivators with Godheads are dead. Then, isn't it suicide for me to come here? "
One must know that those who could come to the Heaven Sparrow Mountain Immortal Abode were basically cultivators who had achieved some level of cultivation. To be able to come here, they must be able to reach the third level. If Jiang Xiaofan said he was not panicking, he would be lying!
Jiang Xiaofan grinned. "Well, I still have something to do. I'll be leaving first."
With that, Jiang Xiaofan turned to leave. At this moment, a blue light suddenly shrouded the surroundings, and the tunnel was directly blocked. Feeling this powerful energy, Jiang Xiaofan knew that it would not end well to force his way in.
After all, this was the Dragon Vein, and this Dragon Vein seemed to have a consciousness!
Otherwise, why would it stop him?
Facing this situation, the only person Jiang Xiaofan could rely on was none other than the Water God!
"Senior Water Depth, what should we do? The calamity will come in less than three years. You have to help me! "Jiang Xiaofan hurriedly said.
However, the Water God sighed softly and said, "The Dragon Vein is an object without an owner. Anyone can make use of it. Because of this, you guys can cultivate on the Heaven Sparrow Mountain. However, I have never heard of a Dragon Vein with a consciousness. It should be because you don't have enough faith, so your consciousness was swallowed by the Dragon Vein. Kid, calm your mind and fight it!"
"What the heck, is this for real?" Jiang Xiaofan was swaying. Fight it out with the Dragon Vein? He was probably looking for death by lighting a lantern in the toilet!
"If you are willing to waste your time here, then stay here forever. If you want to leave alive, you have to fight it out!" The Water God said in a low voice. He was exasperated with Jiang Xiaofan for not living up to his expectations. His tone sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.
Jiang Xiaofan still had many years to live. If he was asked to die here, he would definitely not accept it. However, he could either die here for a few decades, or fight it out with the Dragon Vein and fight for a chance of survival!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan slowly straightened his back. He clenched his fist and nodded fiercely, "Damn it, fight it out!"
Seeing this, the Water God nodded in relief. Tapir was trying his best to protect Jiang Xiaofan's heart and could not spare any energy to speak.
Jiang Xiaofan walked to the front of the Dragon Vein and felt the spiritual power was even more terrifying. He almost could not breathe. He turned to look at the seniors on both sides. If Jiang Xiaofan could not make it, the two of them would have another friend!
"Seniors, we are all trying to save the world. Please bless me from heaven!" Jiang Xiaofan rubbed his hands and reached out his right hand to touch the Dragon Vein.
When he was 0.0001 centimeters away from the Dragon Vein, he suddenly stopped and said to the Water God with a sad face, "Is there any other way? I'm really a little scared ~ "
At that moment, the Water God almost choked to death. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Scared my a * s! I'll give you a kick! "
Then, Jiang Xiaofan felt a strong force coming from behind him. Before he could scream, his body moved forward slightly and his palm was placed on the Dragon Vein.
"Water …"
Jiang Xiaofan was about to say something, but his eyes were unfocused. He stood straight on the spot, not in sync with the two seniors.
Yes, a family should be neat and tidy!
