Chapter 139 - 139: Is This a Gold Core Level Spirit Liquid Pool?
Su Yang was swinging his sword when he suddenly noticed a surge in the willpower of sentient beings.
It wasn’t much, just over a thousand points, but it had been reduced by a hundredfold.
Through his sword intent, he knew that this was the result of Hong Tian and the other top disciples taking action.
This was just the beginning. As more of the Daxia Immortal Sect’s disciples went out, he would gain even more willpower from sentient beings.
When enough Daxia Immortal Sect disciples grew in strength, he could earn willpower effortlessly.
At the same time, he was considering the issue of recruiting more disciples.
The first batch of disciples had already been cultivated to the point where each of them could stand on their own and contribute to the entire world, bringing him benefits.
Moreover, the world had advanced, granting spiritual roots to many who previously lacked them, making it appropriate to recruit a new batch of disciples.
Su Yang pondered and decided to think about this matter again after some time.
The world had just advanced, and the foundation was still lacking. He would consider recruiting disciples after forging his own spiritual sword and entering the source land of the galaxy. At that time, the world’s source would be much more abundant.
With more disciples, there would be a greater demand for resources. He needed to carefully consider this to avoid recruiting disciples without the resources for their cultivation, which would be embarrassing.
At the same time, the first batch of disciples would also grow to higher stages, bringing more benefits. By then, no matter how many disciples were recruited, there would definitely be enough resources.
For now, he put this matter on hold and continued with his own affairs.
With his current strength, although he had entered the Red Earth Star, he was still not among the top-tier forces. He would think about breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage later.
Black Wind Forest
When Cao Manshan and a group of Gold Core cultivators caught up, what they saw was the Daxia Immortal Sect disciples concentrating their attacks on the Silver Moon Clan.
Ten against one, and they continued to attack those who could still resist.
Cao Manshan only took a few glances, and the battle was already resolved. His worries had been completely unnecessary.
At this stage of events, it seemed like he and his group hadn’t done anything at all. Had they come just for show?
The Daxia Immortal Sect disciples didn’t say much on the surface; they were only filled with the joy of victory in battle.
In the Sword Network, they were chatting excitedly in the Gold Core chat group.
There was no way they couldn’t be excited. The contributions they had earned in a single day were at least greater than what they would have earned in seven days in the past.
How could they not be thrilled in this situation?
Next was the cleanup of the battlefield.
The items on the defeated enemies were collected as they were killed. There wasn’t much to tidy up in the Black Wind Forest.
In this way, in less than a quarter of an hour, the attack on the Black Wind Forest was over.
The Daxia Immortal Sect disciples had hit the jackpot.
The Red Earth Immortal Sect disciples also felt like they had hit the jackpot. For this attack on the eye of the formation, it had taken them several months, and they had never managed to break through.
Today, in less than a quarter of an hour, they had wiped out the Silver Moon Clan from this location.
In the final tally, not a single Silver Moon Clan cultivator had been killed in this battle by the Red Earth Immortal Sect disciples.
This made the Red Earth Immortal Sect disciples wonder where they had gone wrong.
They returned to the Red Earth Immortal Sect’s base.
After some brief organization, Cao Manshan found Hong Tian and the others.
“I’m here to thank you on behalf of the Red Earth Star,” Cao Manshan began with a respectful bow.
He continued, “After our discussion, although you said there’s no need for compensation, in order to express the gratitude of the Red Earth Star, I have applied for one day’s access to the Gold Core-level Spirit Liquid Pool. Please do not refuse.
Hong Tian and the others were intrigued. A Gold Core-level Spirit Liquid Pool could slightly enhance their strength while practicing. Even Hong Tian could use it to solidify his power a bit more.
“Well… I suppose I’ll have to accept.”
Hong Tian pretended to hesitate for a moment but then agreed.
Cao Manshan smiled and led Hong Tian and the others.
They quickly arrived at a massive pool filled with liquid condensed from spiritual energy.
Over three hundred Gold Core disciples from the Daxia Immortal Sect were eager to get here.
However, when they looked at the liquid inside the pool, they felt a bit puzzled. The concentration of the liquid seemed strangely weak.
So, someone couldn’t help but scan it with their token.
[Spirit Liquid Pool]
Spiritual Energy Value: 1
Jian Net Gold Core Chat Group
Lu Danu: [Brother Tiger, isn’t this spiritual energy value too low?]
This message was posted in the group chat, intending for everyone to see it.
After seeing it, everyone couldn’t help but use their tokens to scan it.
The result was that the spiritual energy value was indeed only 1 point.
This… was this really a Gold Core-level Spirit Liquid Pool?
They knew that the Daxia Immortal Sect’s Spirit Liquid Pool had a value of 100. This was a hundred times less…
For a moment, everyone was filled with doubt.
Where had things gone wrong?
Hong Tian also noticed this and, after thinking for a moment, asked, “Cao
Daoist, is this really a Gold Core-level Spirit Liquid Pool?”
Cao Manshan thought Hong Tian might not understand, so he explained, “This Spirit Liquid Pool is condensed by the world’s heavenly dao consciousness. When Gold Core realm cultivators enter it, their cultivation speed will be increased a hundredfold.’
“Friends, when you enter, make sure to make the most of it. You might be able to make a breakthrough with such a concentrated spirit liquid.”
Cao Manshan explained earnestly, leaving Hong Tian a bit stunned.
Although the Red Earth Star’s heavenly dao consciousness had temporarily fallen into a deep sleep, some previously established rules still continued to operate, such as this Spirit Liquid Pool.
To clarify the situation, Hong Tian asked some more questions. Soon, he got a vague answer.
Firstly, the Spirit Liquid Pool was indeed created by the heavenly dao consciousness. There was no doubt about that, and it was the same for the Daxia Immortal Sect.
So the problem lay with the heavenly dao consciousness itself.
The Daxia world had set a higher standard for its Spirit Liquid Pools.
This standard had been set by whom?
It was determined by the controller of the heavenly dao consciousness, or rather, the top-level experts of this world who had communicated with the heavenly dao consciousness.
So, the standard for the Daxia Immortal Sect’s Spirit Liquid Pools was set by their Sect Master.
Upon understanding this issue, all the Gold Core disciples instantly grasped the situation.
Everything was because of their Sect Master!
They were deeply moved and would gladly give their lives for their Sect Master, facing any danger or challenge.
Their Sect Master was truly exceptional!
Although this Gold Core-level Spirit Liquid Pool on the Red Earth Star wasn’t that great, spending a day inside was equivalent to a hundred days outside, which could still slightly enhance their strength.
They didn’t refuse and entered the pool to start cultivating.
Every bit of improvement counted. The disciples of the Daxia Immortal Sect would never waste resources.
One day passed in the blink of an eye.
When they came out, Hong Tian discussed the issue of the entire Thirty-Six Ancestor Origins Formation with Cao Manshan and others on behalf of the Daxia Immortal Sect disciples.
He asked about the locations of the other formation eyes, their defensive strength, layout, and other details.
This was also a matter of concern for the Daxia Immortal Sect disciples.
After experiencing the sudden surge in sect contributions, they were still not satisfied.
Knowing that their progress would be slow, they were eager for more.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Cao Manshan was deeply moved and revealed all the information he knew.
There were thirty-six formation eyes, each guarded by a group of Silver Moon Clan members. Among them, each group’s strength varied.
They could be divided into three levels: low, medium, and high, with each level having twelve formation eyes.
The strength and defense of each group differed accordingly. The low-level groups were roughly equivalent to a Gold Core Perfection cultivator, one hundred Gold Core disciples, and a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The medium-level groups were five times stronger, and the high-level groups were ten times stronger.
The varying strengths were due to the different levels of importance of each formation eye.
The entire Thirty-Six Ancestor Origins Formation was centered around the Purple Qilin Mountain, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles in radius.
The core lay in the fact that the more famous the mountains and rivers, the more important the arrangement of formation eyes became, affecting the speed of extracting origin power.
The location they had attacked, the Black Wind Forest, was only the lowest-level defensive formation eye.
The location of these formation eyes could be divided into thirty-six regions.
Currently, they were in the Black Wind Forest region.
As for why thirty-six regions were defined, it was due to the Five Qi Sensing Array, a large array that allowed cultivators to sense the opponent’s cultivation realm when they passed through specific areas.
It was set up on the Purple Qilin Mountain and couldn’t be destroyed. To avoid the Five Qi Sensing Array’s detection, one had to reach the Nascent Soul stage or have some special means, which were quite rare.
This was also why the Silver Moon Clan could judge how many cultivators and their cultivation realms the Red Earth Immortal Sect had sent to this location and make their arrangements.
This battle had been a complete victory for the Daxia Immortal Sect because their sudden arrival had caught the Silver Moon Clan stationed in the Black Wind Forest completely off guard.
Otherwise, with the Silver Moon Clan’s power, they could have sent reinforcements.
The Silver Moon Clan’s goal was to buy time, specifically to harvest origin power.
In other words, they needed to kill a large number of living beings on the Red Earth Star to set up this large formation.
This included the slaughter of human beings.
Now, Hong Tian and the others were in a situation where they would be discovered immediately if they left the Black Wind Forest region and headed to other areas for reinforcements.
After hearing this, Hong Tian furrowed his brows and asked, “Even if they can send reinforcements, they should only be able to send them from the Purple Qilin Mountain, right? If they send reinforcements from other places, our speed is such that we would have already killed them by the time their reinforcements arrive.’
Cao Manshan nodded and said, “That’s correct. In the face of sudden changes, the Silver Moon Clan has a team dedicated to handling such situations. From what I know, there is even a Core Formation Initial Stage cultivator among them.”
“I see. How about this, we’ll go back to cultivate for a while, and I’ll contact you later,” Hong Tian said.
Since only a Core Formation Initial Stage cultivator could stop them, he would return for a breakthrough.
“Very well, I’ll be waiting at any time, ” Cao Manshan replied with clasped hands.
In his eyes, when Hong Tian mentioned “cultivating for a while,” it would likely take several years or even decades.. After all, who practiced cultivation by counting days?
