Steal the beam and replace it with another
When he left the Xuanjian Valley, it was already dusk.
The people gathered at the Wanjian Pavilion outside the mountain gate had already dispersed. They were immersed in their cultivation as usual and did not notice anything strange at all.
Chu Xingyun stood high up in the air, looking down at the entire Wanjian Pavilion.
Buzz!
A strange light flashed across his body. Then, the Wanjian Pavilion in his field of vision gradually turned into nothingness. It was replaced by streaks of dazzling flowing light that filled the entire space.
After a while, Chu Xingyun could no longer see the Wanjian Pavilion in his eyes. All he could see was an enormous ancient tree of flowing light. It was hidden in the depths of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. Its trunk was thick and there were many branches. It constantly emitted a resplendent brilliance.
In fact, this Ancient Tree of Flowing Light was made up of spiritual veins.
Wanjian Pavilion had been passed down for thousands of years and had a strong foundation. Naturally, it also had many Spirit Veins.
The main trunk of the Ancient Tree of Flowing Light was an Earth Level Spiritual Vein hidden under the Ten Thousand Swords Palace. It was more than six hundred meters long. After that, there were eighteen branches. Each branch was a Black Level Spiritual Vein hidden under the eighteen main peaks.
After that, there were hundreds of Yellow Spiritual Meridians scattered all over the Wanjian Pavilion.
It was precisely because of the numerous Spiritual Veins that the Wanjian Pavilion could become a holy place for cultivation and maintain the operation of the thousands of sword formations. At the same time, these Spiritual Veins were the foundation of the Wanjian Pavilion.
While Chu Xingyun was examining the spirit vein, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind him.
It was a python. Its body was ten feet long and its entire body was pitch black. It didn't seem to have anything special about it and looked very ordinary. However, its eyes contained a spiritual light, as if it had the intelligence of a human.
This python was the Great Void Spirit Devouring Python.
During the Sword-cleansing Pool trial, Chu Xingyun accidentally found this Void Spirit Devouring Python and made a pact of equality with it. Then, he secretly took it away from the Sword-cleansing Pool.
But at that moment, the Great Void Spirit Devouring Python was seriously injured, so Chu Xingyun put it into the Storage Ring and told it to recuperate.
Recently, the Void Spirit Devouring Python had finally recovered. However, due to the previous tense situation, Chu Xingyun had not let it out.
The Void Spirit Devouring Python was an ancient mutated beast. Its intelligence was not the slightest bit inferior to humans.
At this moment, it was staring at the spirit vein below with excitement in its eyes, as if it could not wait to devour the spirit vein and increase its cultivation.
However, the Great Void Spirit Devouring Python did not dare to do anything.
It could keenly sense that there were many sword formations set up around these spirit veins, especially the Earth grade spirit vein, which was protected by a seventh grade sword formation. It was extremely dangerous.
Right now, it was still in its infancy, and its cultivation was only at the third level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. If it rashly approached these spirit veins, its fate would definitely be extremely miserable, and it might even die on the spot.
With that thought in mind, the Void Spirit Devouring Python helplessly retracted its gaze. It turned its head and stared at Chu Xingyun with a strange gaze. Its snake head kept shaking as if it was urging him to go.
Feeling the Void Spirit Devouring Python's gaze, Chu Xingyun smiled and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, Chu Xingyun's body turned into a stream of light and quickly flew in the direction of the Myriad Swords Palace. Behind him, the Void Spirit Devouring Python followed closely at an astonishing speed.
Not long after, a man and a snake arrived at the Myriad Swords Palace at the same time.
Although Fan Wujie had already left the Wanjian Pavilion, there were still countless grey-clothed guards stationed in the Myriad Swords Palace. Just their fierce aura alone made people not dare to casually approach.
Chu Xingyun landed in the center of the Myriad Swords Palace. This was not only the center of the Myriad Swords Mountain, but also the origin of the Earth grade spirit vein. Below him was the entire Earth grade spirit vein.
"Are you ready?" Chu Xingyun turned his head and glanced at the Void Spirit Devouring Python. The Void Spirit Devouring Python was stunned for a moment. Immediately, it raised its head high and glanced at Chu Xingyun with a hint of sarcasm.
This scene immediately made Chu Xingyun not know whether to laugh or cry.
He and the Void Spirit Devouring Python had already made a pact of equality. Both of them were equal in status and not in a master-slave relationship. Therefore, the Void Spirit Devouring Python still retained its pride and arrogance.
With a sudden step, Chu Xingyun's body floated up into the sky. Spiritual energy had already surged out of his body like a tide. With him as the center, it spread out in all directions like a whirlpool, sweeping through the Void.
"Disperse!"
As Chu Xingyun spat out a word, his hands continuously formed complicated seals. The seals swept across the sky and accurately landed on the Earth grade spirit vein, causing the entire spirit vein to emit a roaring sound.
Crack!
At this moment, the Earth grade spirit vein buried deep under the Ten-thousand Swords Mountain suddenly trembled as if it had been injected with life. The soil layer was shaken off.
Chu Xingyun's eyes shone brightly. He grabbed the air with both hands and an invisible force acted on the entire Earth grade spirit vein. Then, he actually pulled it out!
If this scene was seen by others, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
At this moment, Chu Xingyun was actually extracting the Earth grade spirit vein!
Chu Xingyun held the Earth grade spirit vein tightly in his hand and shouted at the Void Spirit Devouring Python, "Why aren't you doing it?"
The Void Spirit Devouring Python's eyes trembled slightly as if it was dissatisfied. However, its movements did not slow down. Its body turned into a Flowing Light and plunged straight into the ground, approaching the Earth grade spirit vein.
When it came into contact with the Earth grade spirit vein, the Void Spirit Devouring Python's body suddenly changed. It became 600 meters long and its body squirmed. It was no longer in the shape of a snake. Instead, it imitated the shape of an Earth grade spirit vein and burrowed deep into the ground.
Seeing this, Chu Xingyun smiled with satisfaction. His hands suddenly exerted force and the entire Earth grade spirit vein was extracted. Instantly, it was stored in the Reincarnation Stone.
"Do you feel anything strange?" At this moment, a grey-robed guard in the Ten-thousand Swords Palace seemed to feel something and suddenly asked.
"Strange?"
The grey-robed guard beside him was stunned. He closed his eyes and carefully sensed. Finally, he shook his head and replied, "Everything is normal. There is nothing strange."
"Maybe I just entered the state of cultivation and had an illusion." The grey-robed guard scratched his head. Then, he stopped thinking about it and entered the state of cultivation again.
Chu Xingyun saw this scene. At the same time, he also looked around the Wanjian Pavilion. Seeing that no one noticed anything strange, he nodded with satisfaction.
He glanced at the Void Spirit Devouring Python that was disguised as an Earth grade spirit vein and sighed in his heart, "As expected of a legendary ancient beast. Its magical power is indeed amazing. Now that it is disguised as an Earth grade spirit vein, it can almost pass off as a real one. Even if Fan Wujie was here, he would not be able to discover that the real Earth grade spirit vein has already been extracted by me."
In his field of vision, the Void Spirit Devouring Python had already disguised itself as an Earth grade spirit vein. Its shape was similar and its posture was very real. Even the unique aura of the spirit vein was the same.
Although Chu Xingyun already knew this, he could not help but exclaim when he saw such a magical scene with his own eyes.
After a while, Chu Xingyun came back to his senses.
He did not stay here for long. Instead, he flew in the air and rushed toward the various sword master peaks.
The Earth grade spirit vein was already in his bag. Of course, he would not let go of the remaining 18 Black grade spirit veins. Anyway, the space in the Reincarnation Stone was unlimited. No matter how many spirit veins there were, he could easily take them.
As for the Yellow grade spirit veins, Chu Xingyun did not forcibly extract them.
As everyone knew, these spirit veins were the foundation of the Wanjian Pavilion. While maintaining the operation of the thousands of sword formations, they were also constantly nourishing the entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and providing cultivation resources for everyone.
After the Earth grade spirit veins and the Black grade spirit veins were extracted, the Wanjian Pavilion would definitely be greatly affected. Once the Yellow grade spirit veins were also extracted, the entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain would become an ordinary mountain.
Such a move was really stupid. It would easily make Chu Xingyun a suspect.
Because of this, Chu Xingyun deliberately left the Yellow grade spirit veins.
First, he could use the Yellow grade spirit veins to increase the cultivation of the Void Spirit Devouring Python.
Second, he could also create an illusion and maintain the original appearance of the Wanjian Pavilion.
It would be a long time before the Void Spirit Devouring Python completely devoured the Yellow grade spirit veins. No one would suspect Chu Xingyun. Even Fan Wujie would not be able to find any clues.
After all, no matter how deep Fan Wujie's thoughts were, he was only a Nirvana expert. What he saw, heard, and thought was simply not a match for Chu Xingyun.
The secret things that Chu Xingyun had done before perfectly proved this point!
After extracting the 18 Black grade spirit veins, the sky had already darkened. The bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling down gentle moonlight and draping the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain with a layer of silver.
Within the Wanjian Pavilion, the lights were bright and misty. It was no different from before. Everything was so peaceful and quiet.
Chu Xingyun stood at the peak of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain. The night wind blew past, causing his robes to flutter. However, he did not care. His eyes were focused as he carefully sized up the area below.
He seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be watching coldly. No one could see through him.
After a long time, Chu Xingyun waved his arm and summoned the White Tiger.
