Chapter 1666
The First Rank 5 High-Grade Spiritual Vein
Subsequently, the various forces of the Cangxuan lineage, like giant gears, began to use all sorts of powerful formations to temper the demonic veins throughout the Vajra Demon Rock Sect and even recast the demonic formations in various places.
One after another, spiritual veins and righteous formations that should not have appeared in this area emerged.
The Cangxuan lineage also dispatched many cultivators from its army to guard various locations.
For a time, the territory of the Vajra Demon Rock Sect changed hands.
However, the defenses in this area are stronger than before.
In addition, the Cangxuan lineage also arranged for many cultivators to go to various places where mortals lived to remove the demonic energy of heaven and earth, improve living conditions, establish order, and so on.
Because this area was originally filled with many demonic lands, the air was filled with turbid demonic energy, making it extremely unsuitable for ordinary mortals to live in.
It even indirectly affected the lifespan of ordinary people.
Their crop yields are also low.
However, with the intervention of the Cangxuan lineage...
The living conditions of ordinary people improved rapidly.
If an ordinary person were to see this, they might mistake it for a place of righteousness.
……
at the same time.
In a remote and impoverished village within the Vajra Demon Rock Sect.
The houses were all ordinary thatched huts, and the villagers mostly wore tattered rags and ragged clothes...
Moreover, like other places in the surrounding area, there are not many elderly people here.
In the past, they had to pay a certain number of mortals to the various demonic forces above them every year in order to save their lives.
The young in the village are the hope for the future, while the younger and middle-aged generations are the labor force.
Left with no other choice, the village elders had to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
This has led to the current situation.
However, in recent years, because the Vajra Demon Rock Sect, the master of this area, has been targeted by the Cangxuan lineage, this village has remained undisturbed.
The village has since recovered some of its vitality, and its population has increased to around a thousand.
After learning some secrets from a Cangxuan lineage cultivator who had arrived there, they were immediately shocked.
"Was the ruler of this land previously a demonic force? Now it has been destroyed by the righteous path? From now on, there will be no need to pay a certain amount of offerings from mortals to the higher-ups every year?"
"Moreover, all that is needed in the future is to develop steadily. In fact, as long as one's descendants possess spiritual roots, one can be rewarded with a hundred gold pieces. Furthermore, one's descendants may even have the opportunity to explore the path to immortality and seek longevity?"
"This is truly a wonderful thing."
"..."
The villagers there were overjoyed.
"I don't know if this is true. Besides, although the matter of good versus evil has never been mentioned before."
"But there have been a few instances in the past where people were not required to be handed over."
"However... this is mostly just a delaying tactic, and a certain number of people will still need to be handed over afterward."
However, some middle-aged people with some life experience have some concerns about this.
However, as time went on, they found that the air was clear and no longer felt murky, and the crops grown in the village's farmland were yielding better and better.
Some villagers even gradually developed spiritual roots and embarked on the path to immortality, living a smooth and successful life.
They gradually came to believe the earlier rumors.
'The Cangxuan lineage is truly the savior of us mortals.'
'...'
They felt immense gratitude towards the Cangxuan lineage.
Moreover, the current favorable environment means they no longer need to worry about their lives.
Life is filled with more anticipation, and our enthusiasm is even greater.
They were living a good life.
Such incidents occurred one after another throughout the entire Vajra Demon Rock Sect.
……
at the same time.
Deep within the void of the Vajra Demon Rock Sect's territory.
The Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm, at the summit of "Demon Rock Mountain," the highest-ranking demonic land.
"It would be good if the mortals in this area could develop steadily."
"After all, many of them belong to our Ling Clan. If their numbers can increase, we can have more sources of cultivators."
"..."
Ling Pengyun was extremely satisfied after learning about the situation of the various mortal villages and towns of the Vajra Demon Rock Sect from a direct descendant of the Cangxuan lineage.
He then focused all his attention on the matter of Elder Xingqing and Ling Penglin, two high-level array masters, setting up a mid-grade fifth-level "Heavenly Spirit Demon Transformation Array" to temper the demonic vein in the mountain.
That grand formation was crafted by Ling Penglin in his early years based on the formation techniques passed down from the ancient Chaoxia Immortal Sect, and its effects are extremely unique.
It can use spiritual energy to gently refine the origin of demonic veins, transforming them into righteous spiritual veins.
Moreover, the source of the demonic vein was lost relatively little during this period, making it a superior type of vein-tempering array.
In addition, its grade is lower than that of the demonic vein.
It would be extremely difficult for someone to temper the demonic vein on their own, and they might even be devoured by the source of the demonic vein.
However, Ling Penglin, who was in charge of the Grand Array Tempering, and Elder Xingqing were both highly skilled in array formations.
Moreover, they had already set up special techniques within the formation to enhance it.
In an instant, the power of the Heavenly Spirit Demon Transformation Array directly rose to the fifth-order superior grade.
It is far superior to ordinary formations of the same level.
In addition, a large number of high-level righteous spiritual objects provided it with countless spiritual energies.
Its speed in refining the demonic vein essence within the Demon Rock Mountain here is extremely fast.
……
In a blink of an eye.
More than a decade has passed.
This day.
Roar! ! !
From the depths of Demon Rock Mountain, countless strange roars inexplicably echoed.
Moreover, it was as if an earth dragon was turning over underground, causing the entire Demon Rock Mountain, and even the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm, to shake as if it were about to collapse.
"town!"
At the summit of Demon Rock Mountain, Elder Xingqing and Ling Penglin sat cross-legged as steady as Mount Tai, constantly changing their spells and casting them into the "Heavenly Spirit Demon Transformation Array" that had been set up here earlier.
The power unleashed by that formation was even stronger.
It was as if the movement was gradually suppressed, and the entire Demon Rock Mountain gradually returned to calm.
The demonic vein in the mountains has reached a critical moment in its transformation into a spiritual vein.
As a burst of violent aura spread out, it immediately emitted the aura of a fifth-grade high-level spiritual vein, without any characteristics of a demonic vein.
It also gave birth to countless pure spiritual energies, which spread in all directions.
The spiritual energy of the entire Demon Rock Mountain surged, transforming it into a sacred place for righteous cultivation.
"A fifth-grade superior spiritual vein is truly extraordinary."
"Moreover, it is quite good that it can remain at the fifth-grade high-level realm after being tempered."
"Most importantly, this is the first unique fifth-grade high-quality spiritual vein that the family has obtained in the Tianhe Realm."
Seeing the situation, Ling Pengyun, who had been observing from the sidelines, was filled with joy.
Although the family and other forces of the Cangxuan lineage had long ago wiped out the old and superior demon clan force, the Blazing Sun Sparrow Clan, in the Tianhe Realm, and acquired its fifth-grade superior treasure land, the Blazing Sun Forest.
However, that place was shared by the family and other forces of the Cangxuan lineage.
In addition, although the spiritual veins here are good, after much consideration, Ling Pengyun still intends to cultivate in seclusion in the Scorching Sun Forest with the other experts of the Cangxuan lineage, just as he has done before.
After all, the spiritual energy there is stronger, which is beneficial to his cultivation.
Secondly, the Cangxuan lineage has many powerful individuals.
If no one is watching them, trouble may easily arise, or even their presence in the Cangxuan Realm may be exposed.
Afterwards, Ling Pengyun quickly stepped forward to thank Elder Xingqing and Ling Penglin, and as agreed, gave them some benefits.
"Pengyun, I won't stand on ceremony with you."
"And I have done my mission well this time. By the way, now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave."
"The sect and other forces of the Cangxuan lineage are still waiting for me to set up the formation and temper some of the other high-level demonic veins."
Elder Xingqing's face was full of joy when she saw that the benefits offered by Ling Pengyun were particularly good.
He immediately left the place in a hurry.
"By the way, Brother Pengyun, the secret realm that the family just acquired still has many demonic veins that haven't been properly tempered. Little sister should also step up her efforts."
Ling Penglin also bid farewell and left, then took the family's fifth-grade mid-level Heavenly Spirit Demon Transformation Array and headed to the other demonic lands of the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm.
In addition, Ling Pengyun had previously used the Netherworld Blade to temporarily bring all the members of the Dao of Formations from the Cangxuan Realm to this secret realm to help temper their demonic veins with a grand formation.
Although their skill in formations was not as good as Ling Penglin's.
But it's still alright; it can barely be used to refine some low-level demonic veins.
Moreover, their numbers are extremely large.
In recent days, they have already refined many low-level demonic veins in the Vajra Demon Rock Secret Realm.
However, most of the high-level demonic veins have not yet been properly tempered, and Ling Penglin is urgently needed to oversee them.
"Having a high-level array master like my cousin Peng Lin in the family is truly a great advantage. Otherwise, I'm afraid my clan would have had to offer many benefits to seek help from high-level array masters like Senior Uncle Xing Qing, just like the other Cangxuan lineages."
Ling Pengyun watched Ling Penglin's departing figure and sighed inwardly.
He then got down to business.
He first wiped out all the half-ruined high-level demon fields in Demon Rock Mountain.
After all, those demonic fields weren't of much help to him, and with the demonic veins in the mountain transforming into spiritual veins, they were essentially useless; keeping them would just take up space.
Ling Pengyun then found a relatively flat place and, with the help of the mountain's spiritual energy, used a profound minor spiritual plant cultivation technique called "Lingxiao Nourishing Field Technique" to cultivate a high-level spiritual field.
His mastery of spiritual plants had already reached the mid-grade of the fifth rank.
In addition, the mountains are rich in spiritual energy.
He then successively cultivated a total of nine acres of mid-grade fifth-level spiritual fields.
It contains extraordinary spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to the growth of spiritual plants.
'The quantity of such high-grade spirit fields is quite good.'
Ling Pengyun was extremely satisfied with what he saw.
He then considered that the family had the old patriarch and fifth-level mid-grade alchemists and talisman masters like Ling Lihao in charge.
He then returned to the family storehouse in the Cangxuan Realm and retrieved some spiritual herb seeds that could be used as the main ingredients for cultivation pills, or seeds of the Star Talisman Grass that could be drawn into talismans, and so on.
They were planted in the spiritual fields here.
In this way, the benefits of those spirit fields can be maximized.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Pengyun cast various spiritual plant spells on the spiritual plant seeds.
In addition, the abundant spiritual energy contained in those spiritual fields is also beneficial to their growth.
Their growth rate increased by at least several dozen times.
'I'm afraid that within a few decades, they will be able to reach the mid-grade fifth rank.'
'And by then, the family could make a small fortune.'
Ling Pengyun looked at the seeds, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
In the days that followed, whenever the family's array master Ling Penglin refined a high-level demonic vein into a spiritual vein using arrays, he would go there to cultivate some high-level spiritual fields.
They also planted some spiritual plant seeds in it and carefully cared for them.
As for the refined low-level spiritual veins, they are managed by the other low-level spiritual plant growers in the family.
……
Several months later.
This day.
In the ancient ghost realm, deep within the void, lies an extremely vast secret realm known as the "Shadow Realm."
This place was originally the territory of the old and superior Transformation God Ghost Clan, the 'Shadow Ghost Leopard Clan,' where they had nurtured the spirits for millions of years.
However, with the destruction of the Shadow Leopard clan by Ling Pengyun's scheme, this place also fell into his hands.
He entrusted the Ghost Immortal Lamp, the family's most powerful ghost-path treasure, to take care of it.
After all, he was skilled at cultivating spirit ghosts, and he even had many spirit ghosts under his command who mastered the art of ghost magic and spiritual plants.
He then managed the place extremely well.
This place is filled with ghostly plants, which provide the family with extraordinary ghostly resources every so often, supplying the family's ghost cultivators and the spirit ghosts under their command for cultivation.
It can even be used to cultivate new spirits.
But it's strange.
In various ghostly places here, a kind of bewitching demonic flower grows.
Because they share the same origin as ordinary ghost-path spiritual plants, they are able to thrive by harnessing the rich ghost energy within these high-level ghost lands.
They are jet black with a layer of red veins on the surface, giving them an extraordinary aura.
Many of them even reached the fifth rank.
And as time went by, they gradually bloomed.
A faint fragrance immediately spread in all directions.
At this moment, deep within the Shadow Secret Realm, in the strongest ghost land, the 'Fifth-Rank High-Grade Shadow Valley'.
Buzz! ! !
Strange noises suddenly emanated from the branches of the fifth-tier superior clan-protecting "Shadow Transformation Fruit Tree" left behind by the Shadow Leopard Clan, as well as some other fifth-tier ghost path spirit trees.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that many branches are covered with tiny, jet-black honeycomb-shaped structures, each the size of a millstone.
Immediately afterwards, fist-sized, jet-black demonic bees flew out, filled with excitement, and scattered towards the demonic land where the demonic flowers bloomed.
They lay prostrate on those demonic flowers, drinking freely the pollen they produced.
That pollen is a delicacy for them.
They ate with great joy, and their energy and spirits improved considerably.
However, they are relatively small in size, and the pollen produced by those demonic flowers is abundant and of high quality.
They quickly grew into very fat animals.
But they were all very clever, so they changed their strategy.
They collected all the pollen from the magic flowers and took it back to their hives, intending to make it into honey for later consumption.
For some time afterward, they were busy with this matter.
For almost half a month, the process continued until the flowering period of those magical flowers ended.
However, the demon bees were still not satisfied, so they scattered throughout the secret realm, wanting to search for more demon flowers.
However, such a magical flower is rare and has not been planted elsewhere.
They were extremely disappointed, and reluctantly returned to their hives throughout Shadow Valley to live a peaceful and healthy life.
On ordinary days, he either sleeps, makes honey, or wanders around aimlessly. (End of Chapter)
