Ding Ling felt that made perfect sense.
So he escaped to Kunlun Mountain, chose the Spirit Vein hidden deep within the earth, and began absorbing its spiritual energy to improve himself.

The Kunlun Spirit Vein was like a submerged dragon, containing spiritual energy as vast as a sea of smoke, impossible to count.
Ding Ling sat at the core of the Spirit Vein, absorbing and refining its energy. The speed of his cultivation was comparable to sitting on a rocket.
His heart filled with joy.
He thought:
"I visited Kunlun Mountain before. The spiritual energy contained in its Spirit Vein seemed less dense than Mount Tai's. Now that I think about it, I must have absorbed and refined quite a bit of it. Even after several decades, it still hasn't fully recovered."
Ding Ling felt relieved.
Quite a few secluded sects were also located in the Kunlun Mountains.
There were also many rogue cultivators and temples.
For Ding Ling to absorb spiritual energy recklessly without alerting them was no easy task.
Fortunately, Nuwa helped conceal his aura.
Moreover, he himself was a master of formations.
He arranged Spirit Gathering Arrays, the Inverted Qiankun Formation, the Hunyuan Heluo Formation, and many other formations throughout the core of the Kunlun Spirit Vein.
The Spirit Gathering Array could draw spiritual energy from all directions, allowing Ding Ling's cultivation to improve even faster;
The Inverted Qiankun Formation could simulate conditions of abundant spiritual energy, confuse cultivators' Divine Sense probes, and make it harder for Ding Ling to expose himself.
The Hunyuan Heluo Formation took concealment and the confusion of sight and hearing to their peak.
It was precisely because dozens of powerful formations were arranged in every direction that Ding Ling dared to absorb
