Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1511

From Xu Shan's perspective...

In the densely packed scene, the soul threads of tens of thousands of cultivators were all concentrated on him.

A continuous stream of soul power was poured into his already perfected seven-colored true soul.

This also ensures that his true soul remains at its peak condition at all times.

The Thunder Origin Sacred Body, which was not yet fully integrated, was gradually devoured at this time, and finally perfectly embedded into the Half-Grade Pure Yang Immortal Body.

What Xu Shan didn't expect was that even his Holy Demon Body was nourished.

The three [primordial spirits] received nourishment to varying degrees.

Even his eight extraordinary meridians were expanded!

At this moment, Xu Shan finally understood why the gods in the heavens were so eager to develop their followers.

In the end, they even had to resort to extreme measures to forcibly control the cultivators who entered the Heavenly Realm.

In this situation...

As long as the believers below cultivate and improve, the 'original body' will also benefit greatly, and will be continuously provided with soul power.

Accelerate the refining process and absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

At this level, as long as the soul isn't crushed directly in a short period of time...

Given even the slightest chance, they can thrive endlessly.

I hate the gods!

Questioning the gods!

I envy the gods!

Become a god!

The joy of the gods is something outsiders can never truly understand!

However, for Xu Shan now, the faith power accumulated by these two sects in a short period of time is completely insufficient to support him to leap into the Creation Realm when he reaches the Great Perfection of the Nine Immortal Realms.

We must obtain the [Heavenly Soul] sealed by the other sects.

Xu Shan also wants the power of their sect leader's origin.

As for the remaining sects' accumulated 'foundation'—their disciples.

Xu Shan longed for it even more!

The disciples of the Fire Origin Sect who guarded the Seventy-Two Heavenly Keys and Earthly Locks Formation were also forcibly subdued by them.

Xu Shan, led by an elder of the Fire Element Sect, headed towards the Soul Palace.

Here, he not only obtained one of the seven souls sealed by the Heavenly Soul Seal—Linghui.

With a wave of his hand, he distributed all the pills and magical treasures that Huo Yuantianxuan and the others had accumulated in the hall to the elders of the Shuiyin Sect and the leaders of the loose cultivator alliance who had come with him, based on their merits.

This naturally drew cheers and jubilation from them.

However, this also caused the elders and retainers of the Fire Element Sect to secretly grieve.

"These things are their spoils of war."

"These are the people who helped me conquer the Fire Origin Sect."

"You want them too?"

"can."

"Next, I intend to target the Yimu Sect."

"You all, come with me and fight your way in."

"You will also receive a share of their elixirs and magical treasures."

Upon hearing Xu Shan's words, the Fire Element Sect elders and retainers who had just been subdued exchanged glances, then clasped their fists and said, "We swear to follow True Lord Xu to the death."

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan smiled calmly and nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, they caught a glimpse of something piled up like a mountain, sealed inside the underground cave of the main hall.

"Ok?"

"what is this?"

"Replying to True Lord, these are spirit stones prepared to be transported to the Yimu Sect."

"Spiritual stone?"

The so-called spirit stones are high-purity spirit minerals mined from spirit veins.

It is not only the "hard currency" of the Central Plains that can be exchanged for other items, but also a "portable power source" for cultivators and formations after they are separated from spiritual veins and earth veins.

Xu Shan, who had just entered the Heavenly Realm, only had a vague understanding of this.

But after the explanation from his subordinates, he first realized what was going on, and then asked, "Why is it being transported to the Yimu Sect?"

"Don't they have any spiritual veins there?"

"Or……"

Before Xu Shan could finish speaking, the elders of the Fire Origin Sect standing to the side, wanting to leave a good impression on him, began to speak.

They relayed the details one by one.

In terms of the terrain occupied by the various sects, the three prefectures of Leiyuan, Huoyuan, and Shuiyin all have natural defenses to rely on.

When setting up the [Seventy-Two Heavenly Keys and Earthly Locks Array], it was built directly using the mountain range. The majority of the array's energy source came from the earth's own veins.

Only a very small number of cases require attacks from the spiritual veins within the jurisdiction.

Unlike them, the remaining sects, whether it be the Jinqian Sect, the Yimu Sect, or the Taixuan and Tugen sects, all have flat terrain.

With no natural barriers to rely on and only a handful of earth veins available, the entire [Heavenly Key Earth Lock Seventy-Two Formations] needs to be maintained by relying on the spiritual veins within its jurisdiction.

It is more than enough to defend against strange beasts, alien races, and stubborn rogue cultivators from all corners of the world on a daily basis.

However, it is completely insufficient to deal with the beast tides brought about by the 'spiritual energy tide'.

Therefore, every time a beast tide comes, the Yimu Sect will 'borrow' a large amount of spirit stones from the Huoyuan Sect.

Used to maintain the current [Heavenly Key and Earthly Lock Seventy-Two Formations].

After surviving this ordeal, repay the debt little by little with interest.

It is precisely because of this...

Apart from the Tai Xuan Sect, which is located in the central area and does not need to defend against alien beasts and races.

The elements of Metal (乾), Wood (乙), and Earth (艮) all need to repay a considerable amount of 'interest and principal' to Fire (元), Thunder (元), and Water (阴).

This also resulted in their sect's overall strength being far inferior to these three sects.

"usury?"

"Rolling on the donkey, seven out and thirteen back?"

"The spiritual vein only produces that many spirit stones each year."

"It was all used to pay interest."

"Where is the spiritual energy left for the disciples of these three sects to cultivate?"

After listening to the general introduction, Xu Shan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the elder of the Fire Origin Sect awkwardly replied with a laugh, "Therefore, the Wood Sect has always been considered an appendage of the Fire Origin Sect."

"Our two factions are bound together by a common goal."

"hehe."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shan let out a harsh, cold laugh.

"So, Yi Mu Tian Xuan's strength is far inferior to Huo Yuan Tian Xuan's?"

"Correct."

"Last year, Yi Mu Tian Xuan had just broken through to the [Fourth Stage of Immortality] and even held a grand banquet."

"However, although the sect leader of the Yimu Sect has limited strength, the sect is covered with forests."

"They are extremely good at using these plants to their advantage."

"Moreover, without their disciples to guide the way, it is extremely easy to get lost in the various formations within the jungle."

Hearing this, Xu Shan nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

Yimu Sect, as the name suggests, is skilled at manipulating vegetation.

Whether for their disciples' cultivation or for their own protection, they 'established' large areas of vegetation and forests within Yimu County.

This is their advantage.

This is also the source of trouble for Xu Shan and his group in their attack on the Yi Mu Sect.

"When was it originally agreed that this batch of spirit stones would be sent over?"

Staring intently at these ores brimming with spiritual energy, Xu Shan, a plan forming in his mind, asked with a cold smile.

Upon hearing this, the leading elder of the Fire Element Sect awkwardly laughed and said, "The Wood Element Sect sent people to ask for it several times before the spiritual energy tide."

"But the sect leader... no, the heretic Zhu Yan, made excuses for everything."

"To put it bluntly, he just wants to..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Xu Shan added, "Trying to raise prices on the spot?"

"Yes, raise interest rates!"
