Chapter 382: Space Whale!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Atop Mount Longhu, two people were seated together. After Bei Feng took out the spirit stone, Danxia Zi became extremely worked up. His eyes looked like they were about to catch on fire as he stared at the spirit stone.
Spirit stones were the best cultivation resource for Xiantian Lords, especially for Qi refining experts!
The energy within the spirit stone was very gentle. One only needed to revolve it around their bodies a few times before it would merge into the body, becoming their own essence Qi.
With resources on Earth becoming scarcer and the environment changing so drastically, there were no locations capable of producing spirit stones, not to mention a spirit spring.
Even a small spirit spring was a huge asset for a large power, capable of raising a Xiantian cultivator's level quickly!
And Danxia Zi was the same as well. Although his foundations were extremely sturdy, allowing him to cultivate much more quickly, the effects of a spirit spring could not be discounted.
There was actually a large spirit spring under Mount Longhu. When it was in its prime a thousand years ago, there was even a large spirit vein under the mountain!
At that time, Mount Longhu's power and influence were huge beyond compare. A great number of disciples used spirit stones to cultivate. With the rate they were spending their spirit stones at, even a larger amount of spirit stones would not be enough to withstand this expenditure!
Not to mention producing more spirit stones, even the spirit veins themselves were being dug out over the past thousand years.
The Heavenly Masters at that time finally passed down the order to stop the excavation of the spirit vein so as to leave something behind for the later generations.
But unexpectedly, the world changed drastically, and the energy in the spirit mines eventually dissipated as all the spirit stones turned into useless rocks. Fortunately, the energy which leaked out pooled together into a huge spirit spring.
Although the effect of absorbing energy directly from a spirit spring was comparable to using a spirit stone, they still had to leave something behind for their descendants. But in recent years, the spirit spring was growing smaller and smaller.
And it just so happened that at such a hopeless state, Bei Feng actually turned up with a piece of spirit stone. Especially after discovering the large amounts of energy in the spirit stone, Danxia Zi was even more flabbergasted.
When the world suddenly changed back then, all the ling Qi in the spirit mines had completely dissipated. Only the spirit stones which had already been extracted survived. Although there was still a number of spirit stones around in the present day, that number was extremely little. Even if all the martial powers took out every single spirit stone in their possession, there probably wasn't even a thousand spirit stones to be found in the world.
"I'll take you to meet the ancestor."
After he regained his senses, Danxia Zi was extremely agitated as he brought Bei Feng to the back of the mountain.
Bei Feng nodded his head and followed Danxia Zi.
As expected, Mount Longhu was not that simple. A person who could be addressed as ancestor by Danxia Zi was definitely at least a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert. And judging by the strength of Mount Longhu, there was no way that there was only one Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert here!
Bei Feng had great guts and ability, and did not care about how many Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts they had. Even if he couldn't beat them all, they could not stop him if he wanted to leave.
In the worst case scenario, if he was surrounded by numerous Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, he still had the confidence to drag a few of them with him to the grave!
This was Bei Feng's current ability. As long as he used the Heavenly Laws Embodiment Technique with the Heavenly Snow Ridge Eagle's wing and Soaring Rainbow, even the Jian Clan ancestor he met the other time would only be greeted with the word death!
Bei Feng first returned to his room and took out a small box which was filled with middle grade spirit stones. There was a total of 50 inside it!
After retrieving the box, he continued towards the back of the mountain with Danxia Zi. As he walked, he admired the scenery around him and noted the people who were observing him.
'Impressive fellow, in just a short stretch of road, there are already eight Xiantian middle stage experts following him. As expected of a place hailed as the holy land of Daoism, this is truly a huge power!'
Bei Feng clucked his tongue silently. A primary stage Xiantian Lord could already be hailed as an overlord quality in the outside world. A middle stage Xiantian Lord was even more rare. A middle stage Xiantian Lord could at least defeat three primary stage Xiantian Lords working together. Having eight middle stage Xiantian Lords to watch just such a short stretch of road was really a huge expense!
"Kacha!"
Soon, they crossed a long suspension bridge. Danxia Zi took out a jade token and placed it into a groove on the wall. What seemed to be a complete stone wall suddenly opened up, revealing a passage wide enough for two people to walk.
The passage was brightly illuminated, and the gentle light revealed everything clearly.
"Ta, ta!"
The soft steps of the two rang out in the passage.
"Hur hur, Mount Longhu is quite advanced, eh, I still thought you guys would be using torches."
Bei Feng chuckled lightly.
"Of course. We may be a reclusive sect, but technology is moving forward all the time. Since electricity is more convenient than fire, we'll naturally use electricity!"
Danxia Zi's eyelids twitched lightly. The way Bei Feng spoke was as if their Mount Longhu was a primitive clan and only knew how to use fire.
"Eh?!"
Bei Feng stopped walking and looked at the two old men before him.
The two old men looked like they were asleep. They did not move at all, and the mere trace of aura from their bodies could cause one to panic.
"Elders, I have an important matter, and wish to see the ancestor."
Danxia Zi bowed and saluted respectfully.
"En."
It wasn't clear which of the old men were speaking, but they'd quite obviously been granted passage.
'Hmm, using two Fake Dan experts as door guards...'
Bei Feng clucked his tongue with shock. This Mount Longhu was indeed a tycoon! 'Looks like my guess of them having Dragon Tiger Pills by the crates is not too far from the truth!'
The path behind the two old men was completely black, without a shred of light. It was like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, awaiting its prey to walk in by themselves.
Danxia Zi and Bei Feng could both extend their mental powers beyond their bodies. Even if there wasn't any light, they could still see the path clearly.
After a few minutes, a light source appeared before them.
This was not natural light, but a light with a hint of faint blue hue. This light was not glaring at all, and was exceptionally gentle.
It was like the gentle ripples of water, reflecting off the ground.
The light congregated to form a 2 meter tall and 1.5 meter wide door.
Danxia Zi nodded his head at Bei Feng and walked through the door.
Bei Feng shrugged his shoulders and followed him through.
Bei Feng felt his eyes go blurry before he stepped onto solid ground.
The gentle light splayed out on the ground, and a faint fragrance lingered in the air. Some distance away, green smoke wafted out continuously from a village. Behind the village was a large patch of forest.
Bei Feng lifted his head, but did not see a sun in the sky!
This sight completely stunned Bei Feng as he turned his head stiffly to look at Danxia Zi. His voice was rather hoarse as he asked, "This wouldn't be a pocket space right?"
"En."
Danxia Zi finally revealed a smile. Earlier, this fellow had caused him to stutter with shock. Now, he could finally see the same thing happen to him as well. In that moment, Danxia Zi felt much more comfortable.
'F*ck... they actually even have a pocket world!'
Bei Feng felt rather dazed as he listened to Danxia Zi's confirmation. He thought that he had already vastly overestimated Mount Longhu. But unexpectedly, Mount Longhu's foundations were actually much deeper than he had imagined!
"This is actually the corpse of a powerful Space Whale. It's not a creature from Earth, but an alien that had come from outside. It's incredibly huge, and anything that it could swallow was its food. It was later killed by the Heavenly Masters, and after a long period of hard work, this spatial pocket was created."
Danxia Zi's tone was filled with reverence. It was hard to imagine how a powerful creature like that was killed.
Bei Feng's mouth twitched violently in response. Was this really Earth they were talking about? Was the martial world really so amazing back then?
This revelation had completely altered Bei Feng's preconception of the world. He'd thought that Earth's martial standard was not too high, but from the looks of it, they were actually a high grade martial realm!
At this moment, a question suddenly popped up in his mind. With how high the martial attainments were on Earth a thousand years ago, how did those Wang dynasties and other empires get established?
