CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 137: THE BEGINNING OF THE SPIRIT VEIN!

As Lu Yan’s first primary soul, the Warrior, regardless of his talent skill or strength, was far inferior to the later Blood Mustache and Giant Spirit.

But Lu Yan valued the Warrior greatly because, without a doubt, he was the most loyal among all the primary souls.

During the most difficult time in the apocalypse version, it was the Warrior who took the initiative to suppress the outbreak of all vengeful souls, allowing Lu Yan to continue wielding the Soul Banner and later cultivate the Profound Yellow Merit Fire.

However, as time passed, the Warrior gradually fell behind the primary soul ranks, creating a noticeable gap with the other two primary souls.

Completing the ghost god transformation requires reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, but the Warrior is currently only at the peak of Qi Cultivation, still unable to break through Foundation Establishment.

Lu Yan still had two Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User souls left, which, being fundamentally weaker than a Divine Soul, might not be enough for the Warrior to advance even if devoured completely.

Not to mention that after advancement, the failure of spiritual ability code engraving could cause soul body damage, also requiring supplementation with Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability User souls.

The Warrior seems to be able to advance only in the next version.

While the two ghost gods were experimenting with Yin Soldier transformations, the Warrior still stood in the shadows, protecting Lu Yan like a silent guard.

Lu Yan walked over and patted the Warrior on the shoulder.

"If you choose to stay in the manor, I’ll wait until the next version to find an opportunity to help you achieve Foundation Establishment, but you’ll likely be left far behind by the other two.

If you’re unwilling, follow me, and I’ll provide you a fortune.

Yet whether it is a blessing or a curse, only time will tell!"

As he spoke, Lu Yan strode towards the manor gate.

The Warrior’s expression didn’t change, but the moment Lu Yan left the manor, the Warrior followed him without hesitation, just like a loyal guard.

The Blood God curiously looked towards the gate.

"What are our master and the Warrior up to?"

The Giant Spirit God watched the Warrior’s departing figure, countless information swirling in his eyes, and then revealed a look of surprise.

"Could it be so?"

A moment later, the Giant Spirit God sighed:

"Though I pride myself on being all-knowing, I’m ultimately bound by the Celestial Dao, far less than our master."

"A leaf blinds the eye, obscuring the vast sky!"

...

Lu Yan left the manor without the Soul Banner, and naturally, the Warrior had nowhere to retreat to, so he just followed behind Lu Yan.

The man and the ghost did not use any transportation or flight spells, trekking through mountains and rivers.

This trip had no specific purpose, but Lu Yan was observing the feng shui topography among the mountains, looking for a site suitable to plant artificial spiritual veins.

Initially, when Lu Yan chose to purchase the manor on Phoenix Mountain, the key reason was the unique geography of Phoenix Mountain, sitting atop a mountain range extending hundreds of miles.

This mountain range had a resounding name.

Beimang!

Luocheng was once the capital of many dynasties, and Beimang Mountain is very close to Luocheng. It once housed the great tombs of several dynasties, with numerous battles leaving countless soldiers buried in Beimang.

Seit ancient times, Beimang Mountain has been surrounded by legends of the Beimang Ghost King and ghostly myths.

With many classic tales, Beimang Mountain has long been ranked among the famous mountains and rivers.

Phoenix Mountain, as one of the main peaks of the Beimang Mountain Range, was Lu Yan’s intended site for layout, but upon arriving, he found that Phoenix Mountain’s feng shui topography was not suitable.

Moreover, though Lu Yan rejected Giant Spirit God’s idea of two Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishments, he couldn’t deny that the Giant Spirit God’s speculation was not without merit; achieving Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment indeed required stirring great momentum.

So Lu Yan changed his previous strategy of secretly planting artificial spiritual veins, attempting to use artificial spiritual veins to stir heavenly momentum.

Under such circumstances, if he created momentum on Phoenix Mountain, the manor’s location would be too conspicuous and likely attract unnecessary trouble.

Thus, Lu Yan distanced himself tens of kilometers away from Phoenix Mountain, reaching another territory in the Beimang Mountain.

Among the surrounded mountains, Lu Yan selected a place to bury the Spirit Marrow Ore into the Feng Shui Array.

Unlike forcibly created Feng Shui Arrays in the cyber version small underground factory, the place Lu Yan chose was the Taiyin Hill Feng Shui Formation, which naturally harnessed the power of feng shui.

It only took a moment after planting the Spirit Marrow Ore for Lu Yan to feel the ground beneath him tremble, as the Spirit Marrow Ore rapidly absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Qi, beginning to infiltrate the earth vein.

Seeing this, Lu Yan with a wave of his hand, placed three hundred Spirit Stones into the ground, piling up to half a person’s height.

The Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Stones was quickly absorbed by the Spirit Marrow Ore, and then the earth vein beneath started to take on a crystalline, jade-like luster.

Gradually, a trace of faint Spiritual Qi began to rise from the transformed earth vein.

In the cyber version, Lu Yan had spent half a month nurturing the first artificial spiritual vein.

But being in this Feng Shui Formation and not considering the cost, leveraging three hundred Spirit Stones to replenish the Spirit Marrow Ore’s energy, he completed in mere moments what the cyber version took half a month to achieve.

An artificial spiritual vein was gradually forming.

Not only did this embryonic artificial spiritual vein already reach a first-grade inferior quality, far surpassing the non-grade small spiritual veins in the cyber version.

If the timing was right in the future, it could even advance to first-grade superior or even second-grade inferior quality.

Standing on the spiritual vein, Lu Yan felt the long-missed washing of Spiritual Qi, forming a Dharma Seal with his hand, his Qi Cultivation of the twelfth layer at peak level was fully channeled into the spell.

First-grade Medium·Cloud Mist Technique!

Instantly, roaring white mist, like tides, expanded from the spiritual vein center to all directions.

Cloud Mist Technique is a Celestial Time Skill; it has no offensive power by itself, but if the realm is high enough and the Magical Power sufficient, it can even change the celestial conditions.

At the foot of Beimang Mountain, a group of travelers equipped with hiking poles and backpacks climbed the steps.

The red-clad traveler at the front turned around and called out to everyone:

"We’re almost at the camping spot, everyone push a little more!"

At that moment, a tourist below seemed to notice something and suddenly called out in alarm:

"Avalanche!!!"

"What nonsense, there’s no way Beimang Mountain has snow... What the hell, there really is an avalanche!"

"That’s not snow, that’s cloud mist!"

Everyone looked on in shock as the rolling mist descended from the mountain peak, seemingly set to swallow everything in Beimang Mountain whole.

Just as the overwhelming cloud mist was about to arrive before them, a giant imposing figure clad in pitch-black armor emerged from the mist.

At that instant, the cloud mist poised to engulf everyone halted.

Among the travelers, several phones precisely captured this scene.

The next moment, the deep voice of the Black Armor Ghost God echoed among the mountains.

"Beimang is a sacred ground, no living beings allowed!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of Yin Wind swept everyone into the air, depositing them safely several hundred meters down the mountain.

In the camp below, everyone stared in amazement as more than a dozen travelers safely landed from several hundred meters high, unharmed.

Half an hour later, clips of the scene were uploaded to social media, with a bold red title clearly stating seven words.

In Beimang Mountain, there are Ghost Gods!
