Dongsheng Shenzhou, Yunxiao Hall's temporary administrative headquarters.
Chu Xingchen stood with his arms folded, studying the two completely different sets of spirit vein routes before him. One route could not exactly be called wrong; rather, it was displayed as all but vanished.
Then there was the second set, in which other spirit vein routes had changed.
Other nearby spirit veins also showed faint, almost imperceptible changes.
Judging by these circumstances, Xu Linglong's group of Heavenly Demons probably knew they could not count on using Central Province's main vein, so, lacking quality, they intended to make up for it with quantity.
They were gathering as many of these tiny offshoots as possible. If they collected enough, the amount would still be fairly substantial. Doing so was indeed very discreet, too; without the Heaven’s Way Map, it really would have been difficult to track.
And even if these spirit veins together were still insufficient, there was always the simplest method-piling up Spirit Stones for energy.
As long as they were willing to spend the money, Chu Xingchen at least felt that Xu Linglong's group could activate the Grand Formation and let people see what it looked like.
Chen Baiqing had specifically marked these changes in the routes, and had also plotted the nearest points where these spirit veins connected. These were very likely where the Grand Formation would ultimately be activated.
