Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 386 0385: The Origin of the Spiritual Vein; Another Back-up?

Cheng Zongyang originally wanted to release the Soul Array Monument to stop the Ninth-Rank Spiritual Vein from passing through, but the Ringwraith suddenly reminded him, with a somewhat solemn tone:
"No need to stop it, just watch. Maybe there will be unexpected changes. A critical ninth-grade spiritual vein is far better than two or three ordinary ninth-grade spiritual veins. I also want to see if the other guess is true."

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang suppressed the urge to take action and continued to closely monitor the situation underground.

His heart was also full of anticipation.

Soon, a stronger spiritual energy surged in, sweeping across the entire underground space like a surging tide.

The three eighth-grade spirit veins that were fighting each other seemed to be strongly stimulated and paused for a moment.

But at this moment, one of the eighth-grade spiritual veins actually took the opportunity to directly devour the other two eighth-grade spiritual veins.

Cheng Zongyang was amazed by his greed and decisiveness. This instinct has already highlighted his character after he becomes a spirit in the future.

As a result, a melee broke out again, and spiritual energy surged.

The ninth-grade spiritual vein surged over, surrounding them like a towering mountain, and then directly covered them with its overbearing and fierce momentum. The powerful sense of oppression made the three eighth-grade spiritual veins instantly lose their previous arrogance.

At the same time, a stronger devouring force appeared, and the three eighth-grade spirit veins could only stop to resist and could not resist. They seemed to be trapped in an inescapable vortex and could only struggle.

Cheng Zongyang watched this scene with great interest.

He seemed to be watching a thrilling battle, and every detail made him excited. How many times can you see the devouring evolution of non-living things?

He knew that if these three eighth-grade spirit veins could only resist, it would only be a matter of time before they were devoured.

Time passed slowly in the tense atmosphere. Under the powerful suppression of the ninth-grade spiritual veins, the three eighth-grade spiritual veins struggled less and less.

Although there is only a difference of one grade, the grade gap between the eighth grade and the ninth grade is fully reflected.

The devouring power of the ninth-grade spiritual vein was like a huge millstone, constantly wearing away the resistance of the three eighth-grade spiritual veins.

Cheng Zongyang watched all this intently, and gained a better understanding of the power and dominance of this ninth-grade spiritual vein.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is no process of ninth-grade spiritual veins devouring their own kind, but now he has seen it.

The previous lord did not purchase the ninth-grade spiritual vein arrangement at the beginning, perhaps because of the devouring and overbearing nature of the ninth-grade spiritual vein!
Just like biological genes, if the genes determine that the organism needs to devour in order to evolve and become stronger, then it will continue to devour, thereby evolving and strengthening itself.

This is what the ninth-grade spiritual vein is like now.

It is conceivable that if there is a ninth-grade spiritual vein in the world of immortal cultivation, is there still room for the other spiritual veins to exist?
Under the cover of spiritual consciousness, Cheng Zongyang seemed to be able to hear the silent roar and struggle between the spiritual veins.

It was a fierce collision of strength and strength, a cruel competition between spirituality and spirituality, and a ruthless crushing of life levels!
In this mysterious underground world, the winners survive and the losers perish, with no other way out.

This kind of competition has always been considered to exist only between living things.

And now, non-living things are also showing such fierce competition of natural selection. Cheng Zongyang truly witnessed this shocking scene.

Finally, after a long and tense stalemate, the light of the three eighth-grade spirit veins gradually dimmed.

They were like defeated warriors, helplessly being devoured and fused bit by bit by the ninth-grade spiritual veins.

As the fusion process continued to advance, the spiritual energy fluctuations in the underground space became more and more intense, as if a destructive storm was about to come. The entire secret space was trembling slightly, as if it could not withstand the powerful force that was about to erupt.

Cheng Zongyang's expression became solemn.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling light shot up from the ground into the sky, and the light was so strong that people could not look directly at it.

Cheng Zongyang narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and a strong sense of shock and curiosity surged in his heart. When the light faded, he could not wait to look closely, and saw a colorful beam of light instantly disappear into the sky of the secret space like a meteor, and then spread out.

The gorgeous colors seemed to be a stroke of genius, painting a magnificent colorful picture on the sky.

"This is..." Cheng Zongyang's brows suddenly gathered, sensing something, and asked in surprise: "Five Elements Spiritual Energy?"

His voice was full of surprise and confusion. This was the first time he felt such a rich and colorful five-element spiritual energy.

Soon, the beam of light sank into the ground like a dream and disappeared, as if the light source was turned off.

Cheng Zongyang hurriedly sent his spiritual sense to explore, and found that the underground had become a brand new mysterious world. The area was not large, about a few acres in size.

But within this range, five colors of light are intertwined together, like a brilliant galaxy, emitting a dazzling and dreamy beauty.

Each color is pure and bright, red is like fire, passionate and unrestrained; yellow is like gold, dazzling and brilliant; blue is like the sea, deep and mysterious; green is like leaves, full of vitality; white is like snow, pure and flawless.

They blend with each other and yet remain independent, forming a colorful and magical galaxy scene.

This brand new ninth-grade spiritual vein seemed to be a masterpiece of nature. Every ray of light contained endless power, as if it could penetrate time and space and shock people. It was like the first time humans saw the Milky Way after exposure and rendering.

Its shape is more solid than the previous nine grades, and it is like a lifelike, crawling dragon, exuding a majestic and sacred aura.

Cheng Zongyang had collected so many spiritual veins before, but he had never seen such a colorful spiritual vein!
The colorless spiritual vein is a universal spiritual vein that can be used and absorbed by cultivators of any spiritual root attribute.

But now, this five-colored spiritual vein, and the endless colors formed by the intersection of the five colors like a color plate, all colors can be seen but cannot be described in words, which is truly breathtaking.

The overall feeling it gave him was that it was a treasure of the universe, just like the rendered Pillars of Creation, containing infinite mysteries and power.

"Ringwraith, tell me something." Cheng Zongyang swallowed his saliva, his consciousness still staring at it. He really couldn't bear to destroy the beauty that could not be described in words.

"It's still digesting and absorbing." The Ringwraith reminded: "This is the origin of the Five Elements Spiritual Vein!"

The Ringwraith seemed to understand something and sighed, "After the five eighth-grade spirit veins devoured and merged with each other, they actually formed the origin of the five elements spirit veins! This former master had a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

Cheng Zongyang calmed down instantly and frowned, "Why are you involving him again?"

“These five eighth-grade spiritual veins are not for the cultivation world, but were prepared by the previous master for himself.”

The spirit of the ring sensed the origin of the five elements spirit veins and said slowly: "If I am not mistaken, when the former master and my predecessors reversed and came back, they would use these five spirit veins to transform into the current five elements spirit vein origin, and then achieve their own new five elements body."

Cheng Zongyang frowned: "This thing is used as a body?"

"Yes." The Ringwraith said, "The reason why he didn't use the ninth-grade spiritual vein is because the ninth-grade spiritual vein will devour any other spiritual veins to improve itself. This is not conducive to his backup plan."

The Ringwraith continued, “I had never thought that there would be such a back-up plan, but after seeing the birth process of the first ninth-grade spiritual vein and the degree of spirituality it exuded, I made a guess.

Now it is basically certain that they used the Three Talents Reversal Formation to go back and let the five eighth-grade spirit veins devour each other to form the origin of the five elements spirit veins. Then they used the origin to shape a new body and transform it into a five-element body. At that time, his strength will not only be restored, but also stronger! "

"Can't the origin of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins be used in the world of immortal cultivation?" Cheng Zongyang asked back.

"The world of immortal cultivation uses colorless spiritual veins, which are universal. The spiritual energy emitted can be absorbed by humans, plants, and animals. It doesn't matter what your spiritual roots are. But the five elements of spiritual energy in the five elements spiritual veins are a level higher than the universal spiritual energy.

If we use an analogy... water and salt water.

The former water can be drunk by everyone and can nourish all things. But salt water is different. Everyone can drink it, but drinking too much will cause trouble, so not everyone can drink it. Moreover, salt water is downward compatible and can absorb water, but water is not upward compatible.

There are also five elements of spiritual energy in the world of cultivating immortals, but this is only the five kinds of spiritual energy in a simple sense, corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and can exist alone. This kind of spiritual energy can only be absorbed by life with corresponding attributes. But the origin of the five elements of spiritual veins is a whole.

The five elements spiritual energy emitted by the origin of the five elements spiritual veins is different from the five elements spiritual energy in the simple sense.

To make another analogy, it's like the difference between salt crystals and brine.

The origin of the five elements spiritual veins is holistic, just like what you see here, it is colorful. What you absorb can only be the five-colored original spiritual energy, not just one or two of the five elements spiritual energy.

Salt will gradually dissolve and decompose underground after a long time. The same is true for the origin of spiritual veins. After a long time, it will gradually decompose into ordinary five elements spiritual energy and universal spiritual energy.

Therefore, the original spiritual energy emitted by the origin of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins is only suitable for one type of person—

A person with five spiritual roots, five spiritual bones, or both.

That is the body of an immortal.

Only this kind of aptitude can absorb the origin spiritual veins and then absorb and decompose them in the body. If a person who does not have all five elements absorbs the origin spiritual energy, the spiritual energy will produce the five elements in the body, which is harmful.

The previous master should have this kind of physique. After he used the origin to reshape his body, he turned it into a five-element body, which was equivalent to directly fusing the spiritual roots and spiritual bones in one step. At that time, all the five-element related qi could be absorbed and controlled by him.

Whether it is the way of immortals or the way of gods, it is ultimately the control and application of rules. The origin is the way, and the way is the foundation of the rules. By controlling the origin, countless related rules can be evolved. This is a further result. This is the purpose of the previous master!"

"Do we still need to confer it now? If we do, I guess that guy won't be useful anymore, right?" Cheng Zongyang asked solemnly. He believed what the Ringwraith said.

"What we did was actually ruin one of his backup plans." The Ringwraith suddenly laughed: "You can confer it, or you can absorb it yourself. The skills you practice will gradually improve your qualifications to the body of an immortal in the future. You can also reshape your body.

Therefore, I prefer to absorb it. Although the seal will transform and help the spiritual power of the Ten Thousand Races Realm to improve and develop, it is not your own power after all."

But Cheng Zongyang asked: "After it was sealed and used in the realm of all races, what improvement did it bring to you?"

He knew very well that the Ringwraiths were the most important, and he had seen this clearly through the backup plan arranged by the previous master.

Without the same kind of Ringwraiths, the former master would have no hope of resurrection. Only when the Ringwraiths become stronger can he have the confidence.

When the Ringwraith heard this, he understood what Cheng Zongyang meant and said slowly:
"It will only speed up the number of spiritual veins in the Ten Thousand Races Realm and the speed of recovery. I follow the path of God, which is different from my predecessors. The predecessors followed the path of immortals, and the result was that the opponent could not defeat the stronger power of God!
I don't know if this is true or not, this is just my guess.

After taking over part of the situation in the Ten Thousand Clans, I discovered that it was the power of the divine way that destroyed the previous master. Therefore, I can only take a different direction from my predecessors. If that day comes, we may be able to turn the tables. If you take the immortal way, you will also have the power of checks and balances and complements each other. "

Cheng Zongyang understood.

"I can't swallow it now?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Ringwraith: "No. Your aptitude has not yet improved. I will seal it first to prevent it from growing too fast, which will make it more difficult for you to reshape yourself later. You can try it when you enter the Nascent Soul stage."

"Okay." Cheng Zongyang nodded.

Therefore, the Ringwraiths directly sealed the origin of the Five Elements Spiritual Veins and put it in a static state.

I thought it would be something worth being happy about, but who knew it would be related to the previous master!
This bastard can't even rest in peace after his death. Want to learn from Emperor Shengdong and live life after life?
"By the way, Ringwraiths, can't we change the world? Does it have to be the realm of all races?" Cheng Zongyang asked curiously.

"All the worlds that the Jade and Stone Ringwraiths have obtained are allocated by the Lord of the World Spirits. We are bound to that world when we are created.

The solution is not something we can decide. Our improvement is like the evolution of the spirit vein. In addition to assisting the host in trading according to the rules to gain points, devouring our own kind is also our way of improvement, and it is also the fastest and most rewarding way.

Therefore, in the future you will either be so powerful that no one dares to approach you, or you will help me devour my own kind, and after that, you can also get something in return.

The interchange method under the law of cause and effect is improving very slowly, and basically it is fed back to the Lord of the World Spirit. I didn't gain much.

Now, even if I improve myself through acquiring the faith of believers and soul power, the speed is not very fast.

The main reason is that there are not many believers. Even if the population increases tenfold, I cannot guarantee that I can catch up with my predecessors within three hundred years.

But if I devour a fellow of my level, my improvement will be equal to a hundred years of feedback provided by ten times the population. Do you understand?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, his expression heavy.

This is also why the other hosts of the Jade Stone Ringwraith will look for their own kind everywhere and devour them.

Next, he returned to the first floor and prepared to find Luo Dingran to formulate the Immortal Official System.

He couldn't keep an eye on the entire fairyland all the time. Although the Ringwraiths were there, they couldn't handle every detail. This was like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken.

In addition, it is impossible for him to hand over all the power to any one person. Only with the assistance of a complete system of immortal officials and the "Heavenly Rules" of the Ringwraiths to assist in management, can he basically let go of the management of the immortal realm and the immortal city.

When Luo Dingran heard Cheng Zongyang's thoughts, he was also quite surprised.

"Sir, this Immortal Official System is extremely large, with all aspects, big and small, and it is probably not that easy to formulate, and it is not easy to find people who can manage it at the moment."

Cheng Zongyang said: "I have already drafted a list of positions and general outlines. You can refer to these positions to revise and add or reduce them. As for manpower, I plan to let you go to the martial arts world."

Luo Dingran was shocked: "Sir, this..."

Cheng Zongyang interrupted and continued, "Except for the transaction, your assistants are also familiar with the rest of the affairs of the Ten Thousand Clan Hall. And the affairs here will gradually decrease, so don't worry too much.

Lao Luo, I asked you to go to the martial arts world to recruit people. To manage the fairyland and the entire world of all races, real management talents are needed.

We have many soul slaves, but they are all ordinary people who cannot do this. Therefore, the people you find outside must be transformed into high-level soul slaves before they can become immortal officials and immortal officials! "

"Also, when looking for candidates, I don't care what they have done in the past. What I value is their ability, their real management ability. Of course, those who do evil for no reason will be forgotten. Once all the official positions with their responsibilities and powers are determined, we will go and look for them.

In the martial arts world outside, Yufeng Immortal City is my territory. Li Yihe and Li Xuejin are both looking for talents. You can find them to explain the situation after you go out. Also tell them that everything is going according to plan. I am going to retreat."

"Yes, sir!" Luo Dingran bowed solemnly in response.

Immediately, Cheng Zongyang took out a token made by the Ringwraiths and his own soul-gathering tablet and gave them to Luo Dingran, saying:

"This token allows you to enter and exit the realm of all races at any time and anywhere. It also has the ability to condense the spiritual seals of all races and automatically protect yourself. It ensures that you can travel safely in various countries.

That stone tablet is the soul-gathering tablet. I have authorized you to use it temporarily. It does not consume spiritual energy and can be controlled with the mind. You can control its size, flight, attack, protection, etc. Don't worry even if you encounter a Jindan monk."

"Yes! My lord, I will definitely live up to your mission!" Luo Dingran bowed again.

Finally, he took out a book and said, "This is the list of various positions for immortal officials that I wrote down in my spare time. It includes the general direction of the positions and the approximate responsibilities and powers. You can use it as a reference. When everything is done, notify me."

"Yes!" Luo Dingran took the notebook.

Cheng Zongyang said no more and prepared to go into seclusion. For this position, he referred to most of the positions in the Heavenly Court. As for how Luo Dingran would modify it later, he would talk about it later.

With all kinds of things happening, he was under a lot of pressure and could only practice.
