Ten Thousand Years of Spiritual Qi
Sang Ying's actions practically scattered all the Spiritual Qi gathered in the cave into the world, leaving nothing behind for the cave.
The white wolf, driven away by Sang Ying, also sensed the dissipation of Spiritual Qi on another mountain. Although the Spiritual Qi outside was dozens of times denser than before, its uniquely blessed cave abode was probably gone forever.
Although the white wolf was disappointed, it dared not say much. It knew very well how much it weighed compared to that strange Human Race.
White Wolf asks for nothing else now; it only hopes that the powerful Human Race will take it under his wing because it is very obedient, so that it can learn more from him.
With that in mind, White Wolf decided to do something before Sang Ying came out, so that this future leader could see his value.
The white wolf turned and leaped off the cliff, quickly heading towards the White Lion Tribe.
At this moment, Sang Ying had no idea what trouble that foolish white wolf would cause her; she was simply frowning as she looked at the Spirit Gathering Formation in front of her.
Spirit Gathering Formation can be considered a basic array that all array masters will learn. Sang Ying, naturally, had already mastered all kinds of Spirit Gathering Formation under her mother's guidance.
However, the Spirit Gathering Formation in front of her seemed strange to Sang Ying no matter how she looked at it.
A typical Spirit Gathering Formation simply gathers the surrounding Spiritual Qi, increasing the concentration of Spiritual Qi around the array setter to facilitate their cultivation.
As for how much Spiritual Qi can be attracted, it all depends on the cultivation level of the person who sets up the formation.
However, even the most powerful Spirit Gathering Formation cannot gather all the Spiritual Qi of an entire world and form such a cave filled with Spiritual Qi.
Moreover, setting up an array requires materials, and Sang Ying has never seen any array material that can sustain Spirit Gathering Formation for tens of thousands of years!
This formation is incredibly ferocious; it almost completely absorbs the Spiritual Qi of this world, leaving no chance for any other living beings.
If Sang Ying hadn't suddenly barged in and compiled Cultivation Practice Method based on the Beastmen's situation, the Beastmen here would probably have continued to live in their current state, and it would have been impossible for them to even consider cultivation for at least tens of thousands of years.
At the speed at which this Spirit Gathering Formation accumulates Spiritual Qi, it won't take more than ten thousand years for all the Spiritual Qi in this world to be absorbed into the cavern.
The cave will then become a wonderful paradise, but what will happen to the creatures outside is anyone's guess.
In the short time that Sang Ying pondered, the Spirit Gathering Formation had already started operating again, and some of the Spiritual Qi that had been dispersed was absorbed back by the Spirit Gathering Formation.
In this short period of time, a thin layer of Spiritual Liquid had already accumulated at the bottom of the spiritual spring!
This made Sang Ying realize even more clearly how terrifying this Spirit Gathering Formation was.
Without hesitation, she immediately raised her sword to destroy the Spirit Gathering Formation. But strangely, even with the power of the Dragon Abyss Sword, she couldn't break the Spirit Gathering Formation!
Just as Sang Ying was about to thrust her sword fiercely at the Spirit Gathering Formation several times, something above the Spirit Gathering Formation seemed to deflect her sword.
Even though the Dragon Abyss Sword has lost its power as a divine sword, Sang Ying is still Soul Leaving Stage cultivator, and the materials used to forge the Dragon Abyss Sword are extraordinary.
Such a small Spirit Gathering Formation could not possibly have the power to deflect it, unless someone set up another array on top of the Spirit Gathering Formation protect it.
Thinking this, Sang Ying had no choice but to sheathe her sword and instead slowly attacked the Spirit Gathering Formation with her Ice Spiritual Power. This time, a transparent light barrier quickly blocked Sang Ying's Spiritual Qi, firmly protecting the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"As expected, I knew the Spirit Gathering Formation couldn't be formed so easily. So who exactly wants to destroy this world?" A rare fierce glint appeared in Sang Ying's eyes.
Even the most powerful protective formations will reveal flaws under a fierce attack.
Sang Ying not only took out the Dragon Abyss Sword, but also the Floating River Sword, which she hadn't used in a long time. The two swords were already in sync with Sang Ying's mind. Just then, the Spiritual Qi in the cave was slowly returning under the effect of the Spirit Gathering Formation, and Sang Ying used this Spiritual Qi to awaken the sleeping sword spirits of the two swords.
"Master!" Floating River, who had been asleep for a long time, was full of energy as soon as he woke up, directly outshining the silent Dragon Abyss.
Sang Ying didn't have time to talk much with the two sword spirits, but the sword spirits had already understood her thoughts.
A sharp sword cry suddenly rang out from the mountains, startling a flock of birds in the surrounding forest.
By the time the nearby Beastmen noticed something amiss, they heard a loud rumble and felt a constant tremor beneath their feet.
At that moment, many Beastmen thought the sky was about to collapse; they had never experienced such a commotion before.
The White Lion Tribe in the distance was in a state of panic. They had just experienced the attack by the white wolves and could not withstand such a great ordeal!
But the Beast God seemed not to hear their prayers. The earth-shattering tremor was not over yet, and the White Wolf King, who had attacked them last night, had appeared once again!
In a deep mountain hundreds of miles away from the mountains where the Spirit Gathering Formation was located, a middle-aged man dressed in a Daoist robe, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze pierced through the thick mountain walls, fixed on something as if trying to overcome these obstacles to see what he cared about.
The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, his brows furrowing sharply. "Someone actually broke my defensive array! Does this world still have cultivators?"
Thinking back on all these years, having traveled the world without encountering anyone who could use Spiritual Power, the middle-aged man quickly dismissed his idea.
He guessed that some powerful Beastmen had accidentally discovered his formation and then destroyed it by some twist of fate.
The middle-aged man stood up, took a step, and his figure appeared at the cave entrance dozens of meters away.
He exuded a powerful aura, and his mere appearance terrified the surrounding wild beasts, causing them to flee in panic. Even ferocious beasts like tigers retreated in fear.
The middle-aged man watched this scene with satisfaction. They, as cultivators, should not be compared to these Beastmen and beasts. These guys, who couldn't even use Spiritual Qi, were only fit to bow down to him!
"Now that the formation has been broken, I should go and take a look. It's a good opportunity to absorb all the gains I've made over the years. I suppose this longest-lasting Spirit Gathering Formation should be able to accumulate even more Spiritual Liquid for me." The middle-aged man smiled, his face radiating an air of certainty that he had a clear grasp of everything.
Recalling the Spirit Gathering Formation that had been set up elsewhere, the middle-aged man chuckled. He figured that once he absorbed the accumulated Spiritual Qi, his cultivation should reach the Soul Leaving Stage.
The middle-aged man flew happily toward the Spirit Gathering Formation, completely unaware of what awaited him at its location.
