Chapter 242 - The Dragon Vein within the Mountain (1/2)

The Qinglong Sacred Area, one of the two Sacred Areas; one of the most formidable forces within the entire lower district.

Comparing the Mystic Spirit Sect to it was like comparing a firefly to the Moon.

“Sure!”

Qin Nan’s eyes were engulfed in flames as he said, “Old Shan, where are you taking me to, so that I can cultivate in seclusion?”

Currently in the Mystic Spirit Sect, following the failure of the Sect Leader’s leveling up, both Ouyang Jun and his other enemies would have a hard time recovering, hence Qin Nan had no need to waste his time dealing with them. Therefore, Qin Nan was more keen on interacting with the Qinglong Sacred Area, to meet more powerful geniuses, so that he could have satisfying battles with them!

“Follow me!”

Old Shan reached out his hand and grabbed Qin Nan’s shoulder, before their figures flew across the sky.

After around ten breath’s time, the two landed at the peak of Tianfeng Mountain, which was filled with howling winds and a freezing temperature, surrounded by an endless sea of clouds.

Qin Nan wore a confused expression. He tried scanning his surroundings with his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit, but did not discover anything extraordinary.

“The arcane nine becomes seven, buckling the concealing door, understanding the hidden secrets; the formation shall be activated!”

Old Shan suddenly uttered a chant as his hands formed a mudra, producing a beam of atavistic light penetrating the ground below him.

At that instant, Qin Nan could feel the ground beneath him trembling as a large formation hidden at the peak of the mountain was awakened, causing countless densely packed lines of runes to surface, covering the entire peak.

“This is…”

Qin Nan’s heart shuddered slightly.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt an empty sensation below his feet. The ground beneath him had disappeared, causing his figure to swiftly fall into some kind of abyss.

BANG!

In just the blink of an eye, with a loud thump, Qin Nan had landed on something solid.

As soon as he arrived, he could feel a cloud of rumbling Qi enclosing his body, as if he was now in an ocean of Qi, causing his pores to relax and him to feel energetic.

“Qin Nan, even core disciples are not allowed to enter here unless they contributed a lot to the sect…” Old Shan’s voice could be heard in his ears.

“Hmm?”

Qin Nan was slightly startled. He then calmed his thoughts and glanced at his surroundings.

With a glimpse, his face was filled with utter astonishment.

He could only see that the entire Tianfeng Mountain—which was over six hundred feet tall—was thoroughly empty.

In other words, this Tianfeng Mountain was a hollow mountain!

Within the mountain, endless streams of Qi could be seen forming an ocean of Qi that collided against the walls of the mountain, but the Qi was locked inside the mountain by a huge formation. Deep down in the ocean of Qi, he could see an enormous dragon formed by Qi with a length of around two hundred feet. The scales on its body were relaxed, as if it was real and alive. Its huge dragon eyes were shut tightly, and its pair of dragon horns were stacked with countless runes.

It was as if this huge Qi Dragon was hibernating, with a stable rhythmic breathing. Each breath felt like a terrifying tsunami as it breathed out a rich stream of Qi.

“This is…”

“This is called the Dragon Vein. When the amount of Qi reaches a certain level, it forms a Dragon Vein. This Dragon Vein possesses intelligence; it can absorb the force of the Heavens and Earth, to transform them into its own Qi.” Old Shan calmly said, “The reason why the amount of Qi is abundant in the Mystic Spirit Sect is because of this Dragon Vein. It’s the backbone supporting the entire Mystic Spirit Sect!”

Qin Nan was absolutely astonished!

He finally understood why the Qi was richer in the higher ranked residences of the Outer Domain Peak and the Inner Domain Peak. Each residence was receiving a different amount of Qi from the Dragon Vein.

“Take your time cultivating here.”

Old Shan let out a smile, and was about to make his leave.
