CHAPTER 259: CHAPTER 194 HIDDEN SPIRIT VEIN_2

Looking at the First Realm Spirit Vein in front of him, although Small Knife did not place much importance on the benefits here, missing it might mean not obtaining it for a long time.

Moreover, going underground is a natural place for hiding.

So, he gritted his teeth and directly took out the Totem Pole, planting it at the core of the spirit vein.

Instantly, the Totem Pole emitted a glow, as if it came alive, with a large amount of white light seeping out, condensing into a giant snake floating in the air.

The giant snake opened its mouth and sucked, drawing the spiritual qi of the spirit vein towards it like a swarm.

The level of the Wandering Light Snake Spirit rapidly increased, and its form became more solid.

The Witch Language on the totem pole also lit up.

Seeing this, following the prompt, Small Knife took out a large amount of metal and threw it, which quickly merged into it.

After absorbing these metals, the level of the Totem Pole also began to rise.

Becoming thicker and sturdier.

Almost every level increase added a ring.

And the witch language inscriptions all appeared.

This vibration was significant, only here it would not cause much trouble; outside, it would definitely cause a huge problem.

The domain automatically expanded.

Breaking through the Hundred Level bottleneck, having transcended mortality, even though it’s an imperfect forced method, the range of this domain has increased more than a hundredfold, covering most of the small island.

Small Knife took out a large amount of metal for its absorption.

There was enough storage, but now the consumption was even more exaggerated.

Within the domain, his expression somewhat dazed, insights about runes surged in his heart.

As if an illusion, only for a moment, yet seeming eternal.

Coming back to his senses, Small Knife found many more runes on the Totem Pole.

Instinctively turning his head, Xiu’Er was still in a dazed state, seemingly in a special status.

"Feels similar to an array? Somewhat unclassifiable, forcibly enhancing by absorbing our insights on runes." The Little Cultivator had returned to normal, with somewhat of an immortal style and bones.

The Little Cultivator, speaking, released his insights.

He was proficient in Spirit Talismans, so many runes appeared on the totem pole.

Of course, if he was unwilling, he could seemingly refuse.

"It’s a pity, unable to fully integrate, barely forming, unclassifiable, already winning by quantity, this is likely the ultimate limit."

The Little Cultivator had already seen some of the fundamentals of the Totem Pole.

"Moreover, consuming a large amount of resources, more importantly, it is combined with the spirit vein and cannot be moved. Once leaving, it reverts to its original form." At this moment, in front of Small Knife, the Little Cultivator displayed all his knowledge without any reservation, even explaining some judgments.

This gave Small Knife a deeper understanding of the Totem Pole.

Not surprising, if there was really a way to make the Totem Pole transcend mortality, it might also allow the Great Witch to truly transcend mortality.

Drip: Congratulations, a new Tribe Level Totem Pole has been established, meeting hidden conditions and gaining special rewards, which can be obtained from the Hidden Witch Tribe.

Tip: Gaining this reward allows you to establish a new tribe with this Totem Pole as the core, and new players can be born, log in and out.

Congratulations, you will become the Clan Master, owning your tribe, and set rules for player login and logout.

During the player beta test, the Four Major Forces and the Four Seas Guild had a Totem Pole; the Hundred Level Totem Pole at their headquarters still did not break the limit, even receiving warnings from cultivation sects, reportedly preserving it at a great cost.

Now, breaking the Hundred Level bottleneck here.

This really needs to thank the two major forces.

The sacrifice of tens of thousands of people, such an extravagant move, created this Totem Pole with a large amount of soul power.

Consider myself lucky.

Subsequently, Small Knife immediately arranged things.

Small Knife assigned the task of obtaining the reward to Mountain Grass, and for safety, also sent the Little Cultivator to escort it.

The now-recovered Little Cultivator at Qi Cultivation Third Layer wielded a Gold Attribute Lower Grade Flying Sword.

How strong was his combat power? Even Small Knife found it hard to judge.

Meanwhile, as Small Knife couldn’t log out, all the metals he carried were completely devoured by the Totem Pole.

The quantity was massively exaggerated.

At this moment, it looked as if an underground metal pillar-like mountain peak had risen, with many runes flickering within.

The Wandering Light Snake Spirit’s spirituality greatly increased, even recovering a fraction of intelligence, which was precisely the intelligence of the Great Witch originally integrated into it.

"Who would have thought I’d have a chance to become an ancestor one day." The Wandering Light Snake now spoke human words, full of emotion.

Small Knife checked and found it was only a partial recovery of instincts without true memories, which he could fully control.

The Wandering Light Snake Spirit marveled, finding it incredible to reach this stage, but had no related memories of how.

This form also prevented it from thinking further and it soon fell asleep.

Glancing at the Totem Pole, it barely reached Level 130, having consumed so much of his metals, which seemed quite a loss.

And even though the spirit vein still existed, it no longer emitted any spiritual qi, having been absorbed by the Totem Pole.

Thus, the Totem Pole can grow on its own, yet relying on the spirit vein’s energy makes its growth speed extremely slow, taking approximately years to increase another level.

The Northern Witch relied on the Great Witch’s sacrifice before death to speed up the totem pole’s level increase.

The Totem Pole consumes too much energy but has the advantage of great endurance.

Even at Level 130, it still only emits Hundred Level attacks, barely considered an Entry Spirit Talisman strike.

Because essentially it hasn’t transcended mortality, just pieced together forcefully to break through the Hundred Level.

But such an attack, it can unleash over a hundred in an instant, which is the fearsome aspect of the totem pole.

And how many times can an ordinary cultivator use?

The Totem Pole’s endurance is at least a hundred times stronger.

This is also the foundation of the Northern Witch’s existence.

Without considering bottlenecks, methods to enhance the totem pole include absorbing spirit vein energy for enhancement, witches sacrificing themselves for enhancement, adding a large amount of metal for enhancement, and providing energy for enhancement, like Experience, Spirit Stones, etc.

Therefore, after much hesitation, Small Knife took out the Spirit Stones stored for so long and hadn’t been absorbed by the personal space, offering eighty percent of them to the totem pole.

Only then did it rise to Level 148, causing Small Knife considerable heartache, having broken through the Level 160 bottleneck, raising it to Level 170 wouldn’t be a problem.

But reaching the limit requires too many resources.

Temporarily not considering these.

Now, the domain of the totem pole enveloped the entire small island and even a certain surrounding range.

Any enemy entering the domain can be alerted.

Despite this, Small Knife still laid down the First Realm Lower Grade Eight-direction Water Dragon Array.

Even with ready-made array banners and assistance from the Eye of Investigation, he still spent a lot of time setting it up.

On the day the array formed, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Water vapor condensed, as if threads of faint water dragons roared past, vanishing in an instant.

This meant the formation was complete, but to fully exert its power still required enough energy absorption.

Even with that spiritual acupoint as the array’s energy source, it would take months, but by using the underground First Realm Spirit Vein, only days were needed to reach full power.

Of course, that’s now occupied by the Totem Pole.

Other forces would surely wait months.

But Small Knife was different; he directly consumed eight Water Attribute Spirit Stones, placing them in the eight array hubs.

As the Water Attribute Spirit Stones were consumed, a large amount of water vapor gathered around, and soon eight water dragons roared into the air, unlike the previous phantoms but real entities, appearing quite awe-inspiring.

The water dragons roared across the sky, eventually turning into water vapor and dissipating.

But Small Knife knew each water dragon had the power of the Peak of the First-Layer of Qi Cultivation, exceeding an ordinary First Realm Spirit Talisman, though only for one strike.

Xiu’Er was clearly very curious about this array, and runes are the foundation of formations, while Spirit Talismans are applications of runes.

Even artifact refining cannot lack runes.

Xiu’Er was interested, and naturally, Small Knife supported it and also had great confidence in her.

He contemplated using Experience to upgrade her Divine Techniques?
