Close to the light, there was an exit, an exit to leave the spore forest. Without any hesitation, Chen Zong rushed into the light.
Thousands of meters away, the dozens of golden insects that were chasing after him suddenly stopped when they got close to the exit, as if they were restricted by something. They didn't dare to move forward, and could only wander around the exit, making sharp and noisy noises.
Seeing this, Chen Zong let out a sigh of relief.
He had thought of a way to escape, but he didn't know what to do. Now, he finally got rid of the dozens of golden insects.
After the experience with the golden insects, Chen Zong couldn't help but be more vigilant.
Holding his breath and calming his mind, Chen Zong heard a faint gurgling sound coming from somewhere far away. Chen Zong's eyes narrowed, and he pricked up his ears to listen more carefully. His face was serious.
Could it be some kind of strange creature?
Thinking about this, Chen Zong couldn't help but have goosebumps all over his body. His Void Sword Force was also raised to the extreme, and there was a faint glow around his body.
The body of the Heavenly Will Sword trembled slightly, and it was ready to attack at any time.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Chen Zong found that the sound was intermittent, and it didn't seem to be getting louder. This made him know that the owner of the sound wasn't getting closer.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong's eyes narrowed, and he slowly walked towards the direction of the sound. As he got closer, the gurgling sound became clearer and clearer. It didn't sound like the sound of some kind of creature, but more like the sound of spring water.
"Could it be …" Chen Zong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he thought of something, and he couldn't help but quicken his steps.
With a swoosh, his body swept past like a gust of wind, and the gurgling sound became louder and louder. In the end, it seemed to be ringing in his ears, because Chen Zong had already seen the source of the sound.
A pool of spring water!
This pool of spring water wasn't big, only about half a meter in radius. The water was white, and it kept coming out from the center of the pool, making gurgling sounds. However, the amount of water didn't increase, and it was still half a meter in radius.
Wisps of white mist permeated the surroundings of the spring. As they rose, the aura was dense, as if it had condensed into a sea of clouds.
Wisps of incomparably pure and vigorous aura undulated from the white spring water and filled the surroundings.
Chen Zong couldn't help but tremble when he felt the aura. He had an indescribable feeling, which was very strange.
"Earth Vein Spring!" Chen Zong's eyes lit up.
When the Earth Vein Tide was activated, a powerful and vigorous Earth Vein Energy would emerge and fill this underground space. However, the Earth Vein Energy in the air was very thin. Only the Earth Vein Springs and Earth Vein Stones had the densest concentration of Earth Vein Energy.
Although the Earth Vein Spring and Earth Vein Stone were both condensed from the power of the earth veins, they were different.
The Earth Vein Spring was in the form of spring water. The Earth Vein Energy contained within it was more agile, more direct, and easier to comprehend. However, it couldn't be stored for a long time, nor could it be taken away.
On the contrary, the Earth Vein Energy contained within the Earth Vein Stone was more solid, as steady and unmoving as a boulder. It was harder to comprehend than the Earth Vein Spring, but it was more stable and could be stored for a long time. It could also be taken away from the underground world to be comprehended by oneself or given to others.
This was also why all the factions required those who entered to find as many Earth Vein Stones as possible, take them away, and then turn them in to be rewarded.
If enough earth vein stones were taken away from here, then this opportunity would spread to even more people and benefit from it. It would allow more earth spirit realm cultivators to be born within the factions, and even allow them to comprehend the earth vein stones. Their cultivation speed would greatly increase in a short period of time, and there would be many benefits.
However, comparatively speaking, the Earth Vein Spring was more effective.
Although he was a little excited, Chen Zong didn't act rashly. He carefully looked around and only stepped into the Earth Vein Spring after confirming that there was no danger.
In order to comprehend the ripples of the Earth Vein Spring, one had to touch it with one's body. The best way was to immerse one's entire body in it, as it was more direct and clearer.
After stepping into the spring, Chen Zong sat down with his legs crossed. Traces of coolness spread throughout his body. This coolness was only on the surface, but the real aura was incomparably vigorous. It was like the mountains and the earth, slowly seeping into his body through the surface of his body.
After sitting down with his legs crossed, Chen Zong's entire body was covered by the white spring water up to his neck.
The Earth Vein Spring was called spring water, but it wasn't real water. It was the essence of the Earth Vein Energy after it had been condensed and concentrated. It looked like water.
The Earth Vein Energy seeped into Chen Zong's body, enveloping his skin, bones, muscles, Qi, blood, and internal organs. Immersing himself in it, there was an indescribable feeling, as if he was gradually assimilating with the Earth Vein Energy.
The Earth Vein Energy carried the power of the earth, the ripples of the earth, and the aura of the earth. Chen Zong seemed to be synchronized with the earth.
Vigorous, heavy, boundless …
Chen Zong's breathing gradually became long and deep, and his heartbeat slowed down. Only after a long time did it beat once, as if it was synchronized with the ripples of the earth.
This was the ripples of the earth, as well as Chen Zong's heartbeat.
When the ripples of the earth synchronized with Chen Zong's heartbeat, an incomparably mysterious feeling instantly rushed into Chen Zong's mind and directly into his sea of consciousness. In an instant, an indescribable change occurred.
Chen Zong felt as if his body was melting and dispersing, constantly dispersing and merging into the Earth Vein Spring, becoming one with the ripples of the earth.
Earth Vein Energy carried and nurtured all things. It was the hotbed of life.
Traces of enlightenment gradually appeared in Chen Zong's mind, gradually increasing and accumulating. At the same time, the vigorous and boundless Earth Vein Energy was nourishing Chen Zong's body.
Chen Zong not only practiced Qi, but also practiced Body Refining. Because he had comprehended the Unification of the Lingwu and Qi, his Body Refining Cultivation was gradually increasing due to the influence of his Qi Refining Cultivation. However, he had only reached the Mid Stage of the Extreme Mortal Realm. It would take some time before he could synchronize with his Qi Refining Cultivation.
The nourishment of the vigorous Earth Vein Spring accelerated this process, causing Chen Zong's physique to constantly strengthen and his Body Refining Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
Chen Zong didn't feel anything at all. An incomparably warm feeling spread throughout his body, as if he was peacefully lying in his mother's arms, enjoying the incomparable comfort and safety.
More and more insights emerged, causing Chen Zong's understanding of the power of the earth veins to grow deeper and deeper. His understanding of the earth spirit realm also grew deeper and deeper. The mysteries of the earth spirit realm appeared in front of Chen Zong's eyes bit by bit, unveiling the mysterious veil.
… …
With a whoosh, his body streaked across the sky like a ray of light, leaving behind a blood red trail. The trail was sharp and domineering, emitting an extremely frightening ripple.
Immediately after, the blood red figure paused and fell from the sky. His long and narrow eyes swept across the area, like the light of a sword.
His right ear trembled, as if he had heard something. After listening carefully, his eyes gradually opened, revealing a hint of surprise. His body flashed again, turning into a blood red streak of light and flying towards the direction of the faint sound at an astonishing speed.
The closer he got, the clearer the sound became. Not long after, the blood red figure paused again. A hundred meters away was a Earth Vein Spring.
"The Earth Vein Spring!" A somewhat hoarse and shrill voice sounded from his mouth, carrying a hint of surprise. His pupils immediately contracted again, because he saw a figure that seemed to be floating within the Earth Vein Spring.
"You've found the Earth Vein Spring before me. Since this is the case, then die." His hoarse and sharp voice was slightly low, and his long and narrow eyes directly shot out a fierce and fierce killing intent. The blood-red long sword at his waist was unsheathed, and turned into a mysterious blood-red sword light, piercing through the air with an astonishing cold killing intent.
This sword was merciless as it stabbed towards the figure within the Earth Vein Spring. Its speed was as fast as lightning.
It broke through the Earth Vein Spring and viciously stabbed towards the figure, but suddenly paused as it was blocked by the figure's protective spirit energy.
"What a strong protective spirit energy!" The man was shocked. His sword was enough to kill a warrior of the Extreme Ninth Tier of the Human Realm, but now it was blocked by the opponent's protective spirit energy. He couldn't help but exert his strength again, piercing through the protective spirit energy and stabbing towards the opponent's body. Once again, he felt a great resistance.
The person inside the Earth Vein Spring was Chen Zong. While he was in a state of meditation, his perception of the outside world had become blurry. Therefore, he did not know that someone was approaching him. It was only when the other party attacked that he reacted. However, he was still a little too slow. His protective Spiritual Energy was pierced, and the sharp edge of the sword pierced his body.
Instantly waking up, Chen Zong couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately moved his body, and a strong force burst out. After shattering the blood red sword light, the Heavenly Will Sword was unsheathed, turning into a peerless sword light that tore through the sky like a thunderbolt, stabbing towards the opponent.
This sword carried an extreme killing intent, because Chen Zong was very angry and full of killing intent.
Anyone who was disturbed like this, and almost killed, would not be able to stay calm.
The power of this angry sword was very strong and shocking.
Kill!
The man who wanted to kill Chen Zong was shocked. The counterattack of the other party's sword was extremely powerful, and the speed of the sword was unparalleled. It was impossible to dodge. He waved his sword and burst out with all his strength. The blood red sword light was like a sky curtain that covered his body.
But this blood curtain was as fragile as a thin piece of paper. In an instant, it was pierced through by Chen Zong's sword. The sword was withdrawn, and a drop of blood quietly dripped from the tip of the sword.
The Heavenly Will Sword returned to its sheath, but the red-robed figure 100 meters away stood motionless, still in the posture of waving his sword. It was as if he had been immobilized. There was a scarlet spot at his throat, which had been directly pierced through.
In the Earth Vein Spring, Chen Zong jumped up. He couldn't continue. Because of his enlightenment and attack, the Earth Vein Spring became unstable and gradually dissipated.
"What a pity." Chen Zong couldn't help but sigh. Soon after, he felt that his body refining and Qi cultivation had synchronized, reaching the peak of the Ninth Lv of the Extreme Mortal Realm.
"Well, if I find another Earth Vein Spring, I'll be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Earth Spirit Realm and transform my spiritual energy into Earth Vein Spiritual Energy," Chen Zong said to himself.
