Exploration: Flying Dragon Ascending to Immortality
Looking out, the Flying Dragon Ridge stretches for thousands of miles.
The mountain was sparsely wooded, with jagged rocks and black stones everywhere. A strong Yao Qi and the smell of blood permeated the air.
With its main force wiped out, Flying Dragon Ridge is now deathly silent, with only the occasional mournful howl of a weak Demon Beast, making it all the more desolate.
"Sect Master, this is the entrance to Flying Dragon Ridge," Alligator Dragon said, pointing to a massive black stone gate ahead. "This place used to be heavily guarded, but now it's completely deserted."
Li Yunjing nodded and then instructed the disciples on the bridge to directly steer the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat into the area. If any Demon Beast dared to block their way, they should simply activate the formation to kill them without any mercy.
The Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat rushed through the black stone gate and entered the territory of Flying Dragon Ridge, continuing to venture deeper.
Along the way, there were abandoned Demon Race lairs, scattered weapons, and corpses everywhere.
Li Yunjing stood on the edge of the deck of the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat, observing the scene below while using the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal to probe the geological features of Flying Dragon Ridge.
To his surprise, he discovered that the earth veins of Flying Dragon Ridge were exceptionally developed, with a Spiritual Qi concentration even higher than that of Azure Jiao Marsh.
Moreover, the ley lines of Flying Dragon Ridge are connected to the main ley lines of Azure Jiao Marsh. As long as a ley line node is established here, the entire Flying Dragon Ridge can be incorporated into the sect's ley line network.
At this moment, the voice of Northern Dark True Spirit also rang in Li Yunjing's ears.
"This place is a place Flying Dragon Ascending to Immortality Land, it's unbelievable!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up.
The Flying Dragon Ascending to Immortality Land is a rare and precious place.
The Flying Dragon Ascending to Immortality Land is a top-tier feng shui treasure land formed by the fusion of the power of the nine heavens stars and the dragon energy of the earth's veins, where nine dragons return to the sea and flying dragons soar in the sky.
It possesses a perfect cycle of protection by the Four Symbols and mutual generation by the Five Elements. Not only does it have Spiritual Qi energy concentration far exceeding that of the outside world, but it also contains the power of the True Dragon's origin, which can greatly improve the success rate of cultivators' cultivation and Tribulation Transcendence.
There are also rare fortuitous opportunity such as a dragon spitting a pearl, which occurs only once every hundred years, and the awakening of a dragon vein, which occurs only once every thousand years.
"Indeed, this is a treasure land." Li Yunjing thought to himself, "No wonder the Crimson Sun Jiao King was able to operate here for thousands of years and become the overlord of the Great Wilderness wilderness."
But in the end, it's still my Luozhen Sect that benefits!
The Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat continued deeper into the cave, and soon the group arrived at the Crimson Jiao Cave, the cave abode of the Crimson Sun Jiao King.
Crimson Jiao Cave is located halfway up the main peak of Flying Dragon Ridge. The cave entrance is tall and wide, capable of accommodating dozens of people at the same time.
On either side of the cave entrance are two ferocious dragon head statues, exuding a sinister aura.
The Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat landed steadily on the open ground outside, and everyone disembarked from the spaceship.
"Sect Master, this is the lair of the Crimson Sun Jiao King," the Alligator Dragon said. "The Crimson Jiao Cave is a maze of interconnected passages with many branches, and it was also covered with numerous restrictions. However, now that the Crimson Sun Jiao King is dead, most of the restrictions have become ineffective."
Li Yunjing nodded and took the lead into the Crimson Jiao Cave.
The cave was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Li Yunjing conjured a flame to illuminate the path ahead.
The cave was very spacious, with a hard black rock floor and ancient Demon Race totems carved on the walls.
The group walked forward along the main passage, passing many stone chambers along the way.
Some of these stone chambers were dwellings of the Demon Race, while others were warehouses, filled with Spirit Stone, ores, and Demon Beast pelts.
The disciples who accompanied the group inventoried and registered all the supplies.
"Sect Master, come quickly!" a disciple shouted from inside a stone chamber.
Li Yunjing and the others quickly went over.
The stone chamber was a huge treasure trove, filled with all sorts of treasures.
There are glittering Spirit Stone mountains, all kinds of Law Treasure weapons, and countless precious spirit medicine and elixirs.
"I never imagined the Crimson Sun Jiao King had hidden so many treasures." Fang Hexuan exclaimed in amazement upon seeing this. "These resources are enough for the sect to use for decades."
Li Yunjing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the treasure vault before finally settling on a black box in the corner.
The box looked unremarkable, covered in dust, but Li Yunjing could sense a faint yet exceptionally pure aura emanating from it.
He stepped forward and picked up the black box.
The box was made of an unknown black rock, with intricate runes engraved on it.
Li Yunjing infused a wisp of Spiritual Qi into the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal, and the box opened automatically with a click.
Inside the box was a compass about the size of a palm.
The compass was entirely black, covered with densely engraved runes, and had a pointer in the center that was turning slightly.
"What is this?" the Alligator Dragon asked, peering closer and looking at it with a puzzled expression.
Li Yunjing did not answer. He picked up the compass and carefully examined the runes on it.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "This is High Antiquity Earth Vein Compass!"
"High Antiquity Earth Vein Compass?" Everyone looked surprised.
"That's right," Li Yunjing said excitedly, "This is a treasure used by High Antiquity cultivators of earth veins to explore and control earth veins."
With it, I can clearly perceive the distribution of the earth veins throughout the Great Wilderness, and even directly draw upon the primordial power deep within the earth veins.
Moreover, it can help me perfect the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal, increasing the power of the seal several times over!
This is truly a pleasant surprise.
Li Yunjing originally thought that taking over Flying Dragon Ridge this time would at most only bring him some resources and land.
Unexpectedly, he discovered High Antiquity Earth Vein Compass here. With this treasure, his plan to expand the earth vein network by millions of miles could be realized ahead of schedule.
Li Yunjing carefully put away the Earth Vein Compass and continued searching the treasure vault.
Soon, he found an ancient book made of animal hide on a shelf.
The cover of the animal hide book was yellowed, and four ancient characters were written on it, "Black Wind Suppress Hell Instruction".
"This is Dao Union level Cultivation Method!" Li Yunjing opened the animal skin book and read a few pages.
The Black Wind Suppress Hell Instruction is an earth-attribute Dao Union- level Cultivation Method with immense power. When cultivated to its peak, it allows one to control the power of the earth, summon the Suppress Hell Divine Lightning, and suppress all evil and heretical forces.
This Cultivation Method is perfectly suited for earth-attribute cultivators within the sect.
However, Li Yunjing wasn't really interested; it was better than nothing.
I searched again, but there wasn't much good information.
Li Yunjing then decided to leave and go explore other places.
Just then, the earth vein compass in Li Yunjing's hand suddenly began to spin violently, and the pointer pointed to the deepest part of the Crimson Jiao Cave.
"Hmm?" Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow. "There's something else inside?"
He led the group along the main passage deeper into the Crimson Jiao Cave.
The deeper you go, the stronger the earth's energy becomes.
After walking for about half an hour, the group arrived at a huge stone gate.
A Black Bird totem is carved on the stone gate.
Li Yunjing stepped forward, extended his right hand, placed it on the stone gate, and infused it with the power of the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal.
The stone door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.
This is a huge underground cave, and in the center of the cave is an ancient altar.
The altar was surrounded by intricate ley line runes.
Above the altar, a crystal-clear jade talisman floated, emitting a soft light.
He walked to the altar, reached out his hand, and grasped the jade talisman.
Instantly, a massive amount of information flooded into Li Yunjing's mind.
