You Xi pointed at the Jade Void Sect's mountain gate and continued:
"The entire Jade Void Mountains are covered by a massive Spirit-Gathering Array, spanning a thousand li of mountain ranges and locking in the spiritual energy of this region. The array gathers spiritual energy at the core of the main peak range; the closer one gets to the sect's heartland, the denser the spiritual energy becomes. Those immortal cities built along the foot of the mountains benefit from the remnants of the mountain range's grand array, naturally abundant in spiritual energy. There is no need for each household to spend resources setting up small Spirit-Gathering Arrays."
"In this way, the places where cultivators live and cultivate are all concentrated in the cities along the mountain range. The remaining barren mountains and wildlands are no longer stripped of spiritual energy by human hands, allowing the spiritual energy scattered between heaven and earth to flow back and accumulate on its own, nourishing the land."
After hearing this, Jiang Lu suddenly understood. No wonder she had seen mostly cities here; even the villages were not far from them.
