Chapter 144 The Origin Spirit Vein Appears

Lin Zhao woke up in excruciating pain.

She struggled to open her eyes and felt a continuous stream of spiritual energy healing her injuries.

This spiritual energy...

Lin Zhao sat up and pressed down on the boy behind her: "Thank you, but it's okay."

Ning Wengui withdrew his hands and said, "Your injuries are still very serious, and your golden core has even been damaged. If you make any more moves now, your essence will be damaged."

Lin Zhao pressed her lower abdomen and slowly stood up: "I have my own plans."

She waved to Su Bai, who was not far away: "Xiao Bai, now complete the Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Formation."

Only under the protection of the Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Formation did Lin Zhao dare to allow people to mine the water source crystals with peace of mind.

However, Su Bai, who always listened to Lin Zhao, did not agree to Lin Zhao's suggestion this time. Instead, he asked, "Sister Zhao, aren't you going to continue to recover from your injuries?"

Lin Zhao had nothing to hide from him and laid out his plans: "If I can find the Source Spirit Vein, under the nourishment of the Source Spirit Qi, my injuries can not only be healed, but I can also use this injury to break through to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage."

Even Su Bai, who understood the implication of Lin Zhao's words, was shocked by Lin Zhao's madness.

After a long while, he finally snapped out of his shock and asked with mixed emotions, "Sister Zhao Zhao, are you planning to completely shatter your current Golden Core? That would very likely turn you into a cripple."

Lin Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. "My potential is not enough to allow me to reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage in such a short time. So I can only gamble on my limits again."

The incompleteness of her Phoenix Luck meant that her Heavenly Phoenix Maiden aptitude was always flawed, which greatly limited Lin Zhao's potential. The more she broke through, the more Lin Zhao understood this.

"Xiao Bai, I don't have that much time to wait for seclusion and to accumulate strength for a final burst of power," Lin Zhao said. "Let's make a move together."

Su Bai stared at her for a long while before speaking, "Sometimes, try to see yourself as a person, Sister Zhao Zhao."

Lin Zhao paused for a moment, met the boy's reddened eyes, and smiled helplessly: "That makes me sound like I don't value my life... Don't worry, I won't collapse on the road before I get my things back."

Su Bai sighed. Knowing Lin Zhao's personality, he stopped trying to persuade her and followed her instructions to draw the remaining core array eyes together.

With each stroke of the brush, Lin Zhao's face grew paler and paler. The instant the Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Formation was established, Lin Zhao had no choice but to activate the Undying Golden Body Technique to barely lock up the golden core that was about to shatter.

"Qu Shu, take out your compass, locate the water crystal, and begin mining," Lin Zhao slowly gave the instructions.

Qu Shu nodded, and after exploring the place where the water elemental energy was abundant, she couldn't help but look at Lin Zhao.

The exact location... was none other than the bottom of the Heavenly Phoenix Sea!
Lin Zhao pressed his temples, finally understanding why Senior Gu Mu was so unwilling to reveal the location of the Water Crystal.

Is this place meant for them to go to sea?

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then thought of something, but her current physical condition was not enough for her to complete her guess on her own. She could only say to Su Bai, "The location is shown as the bottom of the Heavenly Phoenix Sea, but I guess the water crystals here have been nourished by the Heavenly Phoenix Sea and have reached an extremely terrifying level. They have become intelligent and hid in the bottom of the Heavenly Phoenix Sea when they sensed our arrival with the people who have allied with the four directions."

Su Bai asked, "Does Sister Zhao Zhao have a solution?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "If my guess is correct, under the influence of the Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Formation, even if they hide at the bottom of the Tianhuang Sea, they will have difficulty escaping to a more distant location. Now we need to move them here. I remember the information the three Venerables told us, that the source crystals will attract, devour, and transform each other, just like the mutual generation and restraint among the five elements... But we need to make sure that the water source crystals cannot sense our presence."

Even if the source crystals possess intelligence, it is very limited. They only have the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, but they do not have the ability to think. Given enough temptation, the source crystals will inevitably appear.

When high-grade water crystals appear, most of the crystals are absorbed, causing fluctuations in the spiritual energy of this world. The spiritual veins hidden in this world will inevitably reveal their secrets.

That would be her chance to advance and recover from her injuries.

"Okay, let's get started right away."

As the disciples of Tianhuang Continent gathered the collected source crystals, Qu Shu's compass began to shake, and the point symbolizing the abundance of water element was slowly changing!
At this moment, the way all the leading figures of the Tianhuang Continent looked at Lin Zhao changed.

This time, with the four opposing continents forming an alliance, even the disciples from the Tianhuang Continent themselves thought it would be a one-sided crushing defeat.

But the girl before them saved the South China Sea, summoned three powerful beings to seize the Source Crystal, killed three of their Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core cultivators, led the continental forces to set up an array to repel the enemy, and accomplished a feat that was only possible for the Heavenly Phoenix Continent at its peak—one continent defeating four other continents—bringing them to their current strength. "Truly worthy of being called the Heavenly Phoenix Maiden..." someone murmured in admiration.

"Much better than that Ji Wantang I've never met before."

"Shh, what did you say?"

"Is there a problem? What contributions has Ji Wantang made to our Tianhuang Continent? How can she be compared to Lin Zhao?"

"..."

At this moment, even Ji Xiao couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

Compared to Lin Zhao, Ji Wantang, the destined phoenix maiden, had not even lived on the Tianhuang Continent for more than a decade.

Lin Zhao didn't pay much attention to these words. Her gaze remained fixed on the mountain of Source Spirit Crystals. After seeing the water ripples enveloping the small mountain of Source Spirit Crystals, Lin Zhao raised her hand.

"Locking formation, absorbing source spiritual energy!"

The water crystal that appeared sensed the danger and tried to escape, but it was firmly sealed by the enhanced Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Formation. The disciples of Tianhuang Continent began to absorb the spiritual energy in the source crystal according to their spiritual root attributes, constantly increasing their own spiritual energy foundation.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao gestured to Su Bai not to help her, and began to form hand seals while covering her lower abdomen. She pushed the Undying Golden Body Technique to its limit, and with the amplification of the third level of the Unfettered Form, her perception of the surroundings reached a terrifying level.

Lin Zhao said to Su Bai, "Northwest direction, Spirit Stabilizing Seal!"

Without hesitation, Su Bai applied his spiritual seal to the area in the northwest where there was unusual activity.

Ning Wengui's eyes flashed with a purple light as he pointed to a spot: "It's hidden there."

Su Bai gave him a deep look, recalling the Purple Eye Glazed Body ability that the Thunder Palace Master had mentioned. Although he instinctively felt displeased with Ning Wengui, he still kept stacking the spirit seal on the place Ning Wengui pointed to.

Lin Zhao took a deep breath, stopped circulating her spiritual energy, and waited for Su Bai and Ning Wengui to say it was okay before she flew to that place like an arrow.

"The spiritual energy within the Source Spirit Vein is vast. Please enter the Source Spirit Vein to cultivate under the guidance of your respective team leaders."

Lin Zhao's voice came from afar.

No one else said anything. Lin Zhao went to heal his injuries, and the South China Sea Academy sent Qu Shu to discuss matters.

Qu Shu and Ning Wengui nodded to each other. Su Bai crossed his arms, scoffed, and said with a deep look in his upturned phoenix eyes, "I thought the foundation of the Purple Eye Glazed Body should have reached fifty levels long ago, but I didn't expect it to have only increased to forty-seven levels so far."

Ning Wengui was not angry at his somewhat provocative gaze, and patiently explained, "The Purple Eye Glazed Body's cultivation speed is not as fast as other sacred bodies before the Nascent Soul stage."

Su Bai twitched his lips, but Qu Shu reminded him not to delay important matters, so he stopped making things difficult for Ning Wengui.

Finally, after discussions among the three leaders and the captains of other forces, the troops going to receive the spiritual vein irrigation were divided into three batches according to the previous arrangement of the Qiankun Forbidden Yuan Formation. The strongest leader of the third batch would enjoy the source irrigation of the spiritual vein.

The first batch of disciples will absorb spiritual energy at the tail of the source spiritual vein.

Of course, even at the tail end of the Source Spirit Vein, the cultivation speed is still much faster than using Source Spirit Crystals.

After all, disciples have found Source Spirit Crystals in every Continental Grand Competition, but Source Spirit Veins are truly something that can only be encountered by chance.

"I hope our team will make a qualitative leap this time, and then we can face off against those who have formed an alliance from all sides head-on," Lei Yuanzi said with emotion.

Zou Zihan said, "As long as our Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core grows, I believe our side will be no weaker than the Four-Party Alliance."

Lei Yuanzi, of course, knew where his confidence came from, and couldn't help but say, "You're so optimistic about those freshmen from your South China Sea Academy? I admit Lin Zhao and Qu Shu are good, but the others are somewhat inferior. Especially that Ming Yue, even after absorbing the Water Source Crystal, she's only at the Pseudo-Golden Core stage, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zou Zihan smiled but remained silent.
