Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 527 Is the oriole behind?

"Master, Senior Brother, if we take our time like this, will it be too late by the time we get to Wanya Palace?"

A female cultivator asked, panting and speaking intermittently.

"No problem. As the saying goes, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.'"

The male cultivator who flew high with it had a proud look in his eyes: "As the 'yellow bird', we should at least wait until the mantis is full before going on the scene."

"Besides, as far as I know, the person sent by the Skyfire Sect to participate in the 'adjustment' was just Lu Shuran, the least capable of Yang Yang's three direct disciples."

"People respect him on the surface, but secretly call him 'Lu Lao Mo'."

"No matter what that guy does, when I arrive, he, 'Lu Laomo', will just stand aside!"

"Wow, Senior Brother is so impressive~"

"Hey, let me show you something more majestic!"

"Ah~ Senior brother, you are so annoying~ You are torturing me like this..."

In the air, the two women and one man with wings on their backs were entangled with each other and performing some indescribable movements while flying towards Wanya Palace.

"Well, Senior Brother, if you act recklessly like this, aren't you afraid that Senior Sister He will find out and ask the Grand Elder to make the decision for her and punish you severely?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, it's really too much for you to force me like this, wuwuwu~"

Another disheveled female cultivator said reluctantly.

After hearing this, the male cultivator slapped her plump part fiercely: "You thousand-year-old slutty vixen, stop pretending to be innocent in front of me!"

Then, he sneered with disdain: "As for the 'Senior Sister He' you mentioned..."

"Hey, even though I became a Taoist partner with that woman, we have been doing our own things for so many years."

"I can't control her, and she can't interfere with me either!"

At this point, the male cultivator glanced at the two women on his left and right with a cold gaze, and said coldly: "I advise the two of you not to have any small thoughts of threatening me by 'complaining'."

"Even if He Jiexiang knew about this little thing of ours, the most I would suffer from is some ridicule from her."

"And you will lose your life just because of her displeasure! Understand?"

After hearing this, the female cultivator's body stiffened slightly.

He obviously found out that his wishful thinking had gone wrong, and it was a little hard for him to accept it for a while.

But soon, their pretty faces turned into flattering expressions: "Brother, what are you talking about? I never thought of threatening you~"

"That's right, I was just worried about you, but you thought I was so mean. I'm really wronged, wuwuwu~"

The female cultivator was crying with tears in her eyes, but she didn't know how much of her crying was true and how much was false.

The square-faced middle-aged male cultivator saw through it but didn't say anything.

He just held her waist, rubbed her back, and coaxed her in a playful manner: "Oh, okay, okay, I just said it casually, look how aggrieved you are."

"Alright, after this job is done, I will definitely not treat you two unfairly!"

"Really?"

"Brother, you are so nice~"

The two girls immediately smiled happily, twisted their waists crazily, and cooperated more and more...

Four or five hours later.

The night fades away and the sun rises.

Just as the day dawned——

"boom!!"

A huge and extremely dazzling blue light suddenly appeared in the sky above the main hall of Wanya Palace.

The noise was so loud that it was like the "mushroom cloud" produced by a nuclear bomb explosion, which lasted for a long time...

This scene happened to be seen by the man and two women.

"Huh? This spiritual energy... is quite mysterious, like the power of heaven and earth!"

"And that direction and distance is exactly where Wanya Palace is located."

"Could it be that some rare treasure appeared in the Wanya Palace?"

"If that's the case, we can't let 'Lu Laomo' get there so comfortably!"

As soon as he thought of this, the middle-aged male cultivator, who had been flirting with the two female cultivators a second ago, immediately withdrew from the gentle embrace.

After putting on the specially made sect battle robe with a wave of his hand, he urged the two women while trying his best to activate his black wings and flew towards Wanya Palace at an incredible speed.

"The Supreme Master sent me here because the elders and disciples of Wanya Palace all practiced the Fire Element Mysterious Spirit."

"If we can take this opportunity to make those guys surrender, it will be of great help to our [Charming Spirit Sect] in dealing with the 'Blood Moon Disaster' this time!"

"But I didn't expect that a mere mid-level sect could actually have such a treasure hidden away?"

The middle-aged male cultivator frowned, anxiously saying, "We must catch up no matter what!"

How could he know that the so-called "supreme treasure" that was causing strange phenomena in heaven and earth thousands of miles away was not actually the foundation of Wanya Palace.

Instead, Ding Chen used local materials to upgrade the [Dimensional Magic Banner] that he had successfully refined not long ago from "lower heavenly grade" to "middle heavenly grade", and this produced the scene of the spiritual vortex released!

"Master, you... actually created a 'mid-grade heavenly artifact' in just one night?!"

Wei Sanniang exclaimed in surprise.

After hearing this, Ding Chen just smiled and weighed the long banner in his hand, and said lightly: "This is not a new one, it is an improvement on the original one."

"We seized many spiritual materials and storage rings from Wanya Palace, and the spiritual veins here are abundant."

"After seven or eight fusions, this [Dimensional Demon Spirit Banner] will be promoted to a 'mid-grade heavenly weapon'."

Even though Ding Chen said it lightly at the moment.

However, the three women present were all shocked by Ding Chen's miraculous attainments in mysterious weapons.

After this [Dimensional Demonic Banner] was upgraded from "lower grade of heavenly rank" to "middle grade of heavenly rank", except for the length increasing from three feet three inches to five feet five inches, other aspects such as color and shape remained largely unchanged.

However, its looming and terrifying power made the three women who were at the "Seventh Level of Tianmen Realm" quite fearful!

At this time, Ding Chen took out a blue-gray, jade-like cone from the storage ring.

At the top of the cone, there are a few purple-pink stamens, blooming with sparks. At first glance, it looks like a hand holding sparkling flowers, quite delicate and dazzling.

But Ding Chen knew that this thing was not some ordinary firework, but the [Key to the Spiritual Vein] of a sect.

As everyone knows, in the world of cultivation, no force will hastily find a place with mountains and water to use as a base or to establish a sect.

When choosing a location for a sect, there is only one thing that matters most:

Does this place have a "spiritual stone vein" with abundant spiritual energy, extremely high reserves, and guaranteed quality?

Lingshi ore vein, also known as Lingmai.

Spiritual veins are mostly found in mountains and forests.

It is also for this reason that the vast majority of sects in the cultivation world are built along the mountains.

However, in the world of cultivation, mineral veins rich in spiritual stones are extremely rare.

Moreover, high-quality mineral veins are even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!

The higher the quality of the spirit stones produced by high-quality mineral veins, the stronger the effect on the realm of Xuan cultivation.

Naturally, it will be more popular with powerful people.

Therefore, in order to occupy more mineral veins and mine more and higher-quality spiritual stones, people in the cultivation world actively or passively form gangs.

Soon, forces of varying sizes and with diverse members were formed in the cultivation world, and they acted together to seize the mineral veins!

It is no exaggeration to say that the major sects in the cultivation world were originally established in order to better seize cultivation resources.

After thousands of bloody battles, a delicate balance was reached among the various sects in the cultivation world.

The strength of each force was basically determined at this time, and they were divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

A top-grade sect naturally occupies the highest quality top-grade mineral veins that can produce "top-grade spirit stones" and "top-grade spirit stones".

In order to avoid being chased and attacked by powerful top-grade sects, the weaker middle-grade sects can only choose a top-grade sect as their backer and pay "tribute" to it regularly.

The superior sects to which it is affiliated will also authorize some of the "useless" medium-level spiritual veins that they themselves do not think highly of or are unwilling to spend time and effort to mine, to some of the medium-level sects that are affiliated with them.

A medium-grade spirit vein can usually only produce medium-grade spirit stones, and a small amount of high-grade spirit stones.

And the vast majority of those "superior-grade spirit stones" will be handed over to the superior-grade sects.

Only the majority of "mid-grade spirit stones" are the cultivation resources that these mid-grade sects are qualified to use at will.

Usually, a top-grade sect would accept several mid-grade sects as its "little brothers", but would not care much about the internal affairs of these "little brothers".

In other words, there is both a subordinate relationship and a certain degree of independence between the upper-grade and middle-grade sects.

And those "mid-level sects" that have established a firm foothold have also followed suit and begun to develop their own "downlines".

That is to say, those "low-grade sects" with a larger number of spiritual veins and the lowest quality spiritual veins at the same time...

This kind of "cultivation world ecology" with clear class divisions has existed for tens of thousands of years.

Looking back at history, there are countless sects that have risen or fallen due to wars, disasters and other reasons.

Even among the top-tier sects, there are very few that can remain strong for tens of thousands of years!

Because even if it can withstand the fierce attacks from "external forces" time and time again, it will always be difficult to prevent the division from within.

For tens of thousands of years, the various states in the secular world have often played out the drama of long-term division and then unification, and long-term unification and then division.

When the time dimension is extended to tens of thousands of years, there are often grudges and constant wars between the various sects in the cultivation world.

It feels like the secular world of "The emperor takes turns, next year it's my turn"...

No matter which sect it is, when it gains a foothold, it will leave a "switch" to intercept the energy of the spiritual vein, either on or off.

This switch is called the [Key to the Spiritual Vein].

"When I was refining weapons before, I had already used up most of the spiritual veins and mineral deposits in Wanya Palace that were easy to mine and utilize."

"As for the remaining spiritual stone energy buried deep in the mineral veins, just leave it to the Hehuan Sect, just like when we conquered the Nine Sects Alliance!"

It turned out that after Ding Chen destroyed the Nine Sects Alliance, except for the mineral spirit stones he used to forge his own weapons, the rest were directed to the Hehuan Sect by this young man.

After all, the Nine Sects Alliance was previously an alliance of ten sects, each sect having its own section, and they shared a mineral vein that stretched for tens of thousands of miles.

This is also the truth behind why the distances between the ten sects are almost the same, and the positions of each side finally form an almost closed "circle"!

This balance lasted until Huang Zhongyan, a traitor of the Hehuan Sect, headed for the Wanya Palace Temple Lake blessed land.

Later, Wan Ya Palace took advantage of the formation to forcibly change the route, absorb and swallow a lot of spiritual veins of the "Ten Sects Alliance".

Now, Ding Chen waved his hand and used the [Key to the Spiritual Vein] to change the route again.

He directed all the spiritual veins of the original "Ten Sects Alliance" and Wanya Palace to the [Hehuan Sect]!

The long-standing energy of the spiritual stones will make the cultivation resources of the [Hehuan Sect] increasingly abundant.

And this can be regarded as the last thing Ding Chen did for Dean Zhu Honghu...
