Chi!
Ye Chen stepped lightly, and a rock at the edge of the cliff fell off silently, turning into a stone sword. Then, it carried him all the way down into the valley.
They had only gone down for less than 300 feet when a deep and dark light appeared in the darkness. It was the array that protected the forbidden area of the Purple Cloud Sect. It was built on the earth vein where the entire Purple Cloud Sect was located. Even a Golden Core would find it difficult to break in in a short period of time.
However, Ye Chen's eyes only flashed.
A faint golden sword light could be seen reflected in his pupils. This sword light flashed and was unstoppable. With one attack, it pierced into the crack of the forbidden area's array.
Ye Chen didn't want to destroy the formation, so he didn't break it directly. Instead, he broke the key point of the formation and temporarily cut it off, causing a slight flaw in the formation.
In reality.
Doing so was even more difficult than breaking the array formation. This was because the key to the operation of the array formation itself was inside the array formation. To interrupt the operation of the array formation was actually already breaking the array formation.
Only the ancient sword cultivator's Heart Sword could break through the array from a single point. The sword intent was condensed at a single point and did not cause large-scale damage, nor did it spread, nor did it cause a chain reaction.
Silently.
The light of the formation in front of Ye Chen dimmed a little. He did not stop at all. He immediately threw himself into it and landed below the valley.
He didn't encounter any more obstacles along the way. He rode the stone sword with his Heart Sword until he reached the lowest level of the forbidden valley. There, he could see many caves on the nearby rock walls, and many of these caves had skeletons sitting cross-legged.
They were the former Sect Leader and Supreme Elders of the Purple Cloud Sect for thousands of years.
"Golden Cores can live for thousands of years, but it's also difficult for them to live freely.”
Ye Chen floated in the air, his gaze sweeping across the skeletons. He could not help but sigh.
The path of immortality was difficult. In the Ancient China Continent, a Golden Core was already a big figure that thousands of cultivators worshipped. However, there were Nascent Souls and Divine Transformation Realm Heavenly Lords above the Golden Core Realm!
According to the ancient records he had read, there had not been a Nascent Soul in the entire Ancient China Continent for more than ten thousand years. The strongest was only at the late-stage Golden Core realm.
However…
Golden Cores gathered all of their Life Providence, Fate, and Vital Essence into a core, which was perfectly round and formed into one. Therefore, they could enjoy a lifespan of a thousand years. However, ancient sword cultivators only cultivated the Heart Sword, so they had a great shortcoming in terms of lifespan. Golden Cores could lock life and Life Providence, but the Heart Sword did not have this function.
Even with his current strength of the Heart Sword, his lifespan was at most 200 years. His divine soul would decay, and the Heart Sword would dim and dissipate along with it.
However, not locking one's lifespan and not guarding one's fate was exchanged for the most terrifying killing sword in the world. In ancient times, almost no one was willing to be enemies with an undefeatable realm sword cultivator!
Because it was too terrifying!
[Hint: Experience 200]
After Ye Chen's gaze swept past the bones of the Purple Cloud Sect's ancestors, a notification sounded in his ear. He retracted his gaze and continued to descend, arriving at the bottom of the valley.
All he could feel was a vast amount of spiritual energy surging out of the earth vein, filling the entire forbidden space. His entire body seemed to be washed by the tide of spiritual energy!
Earth vein!
The entire Purple Cloud Sect was built based on the terrain of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range. The first leader had set up a formation to lock the terrain and seal the earth vein in a corner. The center of the forbidden area, where Ye Chen was standing right now, was the core of the earth vein.
The endless spiritual energy in the ground was guided and evolved by the earth vein. Then, it spewed out from here to nurture the array of the Purple Cloud Sect and then spread to all the peaks.
"This is the earth vein."
Ye Chen bent down, reached out his hand and gently touched the ground, and grabbed a handful of sand.
Although it was said to be sand, if one looked closely, they were all crystal clear particles. They were all fragments of spirit stones. The spiritual qi here was too majestic, and the earth had long turned into spiritual matter.
However, it was precisely because the spiritual energy was too violent and majestic that ordinary mud and stones could not bear it. Even if it turned into a spirit stone, it would be quickly shattered. Therefore, the center was filled with fragments.
He looked around.
He could see quite a number of complete spirit stones scattered on the outer side of the valley.
[Hint: Experience 300]
After checking the earth vein, Ye Chen had some understanding of the earth vein and obtained a total of 500 experience points. In his opinion, this trip was not in vain.
However, at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly frowned and noticed something strange.
He looked around.
Amidst the scattered Spirit Stones were several pitch-black chains that extended all the way to the bottom of the earth vein.
"There's still something fishy going on."
Ye Chen looked down, and his mind went into the earth vein like a sword. Soon, he found the source of the chain.
The chains extended downwards. Shockingly, they were in the depths of the earth vein, imprisoning a greater demon!
The violent spiritual energy in the earth vein continuously washed over the body of this big demon. Then, it gradually became gentle and surged into the earth vein.
This great demon had the effect of suppressing the earth vein. It used its body to suppress the violent spiritual pressure from the depths of the earth vein. In addition, it also formed a certain purification of the spiritual energy.
At the same time.
The pitch-black chains wrapped around its body were constantly extracting spiritual energy from its body, making it unable to cultivate. It could only constantly inhale and exhale violent spiritual energy from the earth veins to replenish its spiritual energy consumption. The chains were connected to the array formation to form a whole.
"I didn't expect there to be a great demon in the earth vein. It has already condensed a demon core and is comparable to a human Golden Core.”
Ye Chen revealed a thoughtful look.
This great demon was probably like a donkey in a mill. Under the control of the whip, it had no choice but to pull the millstone to maintain the stability of the entire array and the mountain range.
It seemed a little pitiful, but Ye Chen did not have any pity because the demon race and the human race had always been mortal enemies in this world.
Human cultivators viewed demons as moving treasuries, while demons viewed human cultivators as delicious meals and great nourishment for walking.
Demons eating humans were everywhere, and it was common for humans to kill demons.
Furthermore, humans usually did not slaughter wantonly when they killed demons. They only took what they needed. However, demons often did not have any scruples when it came to eating humans. A big demon could devour a city with one bite, and hundreds of thousands of people would be devoured in one bite.
[Hint: Experience 300]
After understanding the true core of the Purple Cloud Sect's array and the secrets in the depths of the earth vein, Ye Chen obtained another 300 experience points. He was quite satisfied.
800 experience points. If he had stayed in the Hidden Pavilion to read, he would have needed at least half a month.
"It's almost done."
Ye Chen retracted his gaze and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, the great demon, who had been suppressed in the depths of the earth vein by the chains and had been breathing in and out spiritual energy with its head lowered, suddenly opened its eyes!
In those eyes,
It was a shocking blood-red!
Upon closer inspection, one could see a crack that seemed to have been gnawed on countless times on the inside of the chain that bound its right arm.
Boom!
The chains shattered!
A surge of demonic power broke the earth vein and soared into the sky, causing the entire Purple Cloud Sect's formation to shake violently. Even the main peak and the seven peaks of the Purple Cloud Sect were shaken!
