Chapter 113 Where Does the Spiritual Vein Come From? (Please Subscribe)

Xu Zhou stood beside the tree roots, his divine sense gradually spreading into the ground.

Just now, he suddenly felt an extremely faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, as if a faint stream of spiritual energy had separated from the surrounding area and was flowing into the ground.

This immediately made him thoughtful.

Originally, it was thought that the spiritual energy around the Everlasting Wood had completely solidified, but unexpectedly, this stagnant spiritual energy still fluctuated slightly.

However, this fluctuation was too subtle, and it would have been difficult to notice it if he hadn't focused his attention on it.

Thinking about this, Xu Zhou had a slight guess.

"If we can find out where the spiritual energy is going, we might be able to find a way to save the spirit tree."

Xu Zhou concentrated his mind, using his divine sense to explore the underground, and followed the fluctuations of spiritual energy to move forward.

As his consciousness deepened, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

The divine sense is greatly obstructed underground.

The earth's mixed energies converged, and with the influence of the constant wood, a large number of different energies stagnated here, intertwined and mixed together. Delving into it with one's divine sense was like stepping into a quagmire.

But the truly flowing spiritual energy was as thin as a wisp of silk.

Xu Zhou could only constantly adjust his divine sense to discern the changes little by little.

The fluctuation of spiritual energy appeared and disappeared intermittently. He tried to trace it in the direction of the energy several times, but always lost track of it halfway through.

After this repeated process, even he gradually felt mentally exhausted.

Before we knew it, the east was gradually turning white.

As the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, the Fei family estate slowly began to awaken. The sounds of doors opening and the buzzing of voices rose and fell in the distance.

The chaotic sounds made Xu Zhou's pursuit even more difficult.

He slowly withdrew his consciousness and gently exhaled.

"Looks like this is the end of today."

After a night of exploration, he vaguely sensed that the spiritual energy was indeed flowing in a certain direction.

However, its exact location is difficult to ascertain.

Now that the Fei family members are becoming more active, the surrounding spiritual energy is beginning to be affected, so continuing to investigate is no longer of much use.

Xu Zhou stopped and looked down from the mountainside.

The Fei family's territory was located at the foot of the mountain. At this time, some cultivators had already begun their morning exercises, while some of the able-bodied members of the clan were heading towards the spirit fields, creating a scene that was both chaotic and orderly.

However, the Fei family nowadays carries a faint sense of oppression.

Under Xu Zhou's divine sense, the conversations of the Fei family members also came through.

"Didn't they say they were going to cut down the trees a few days ago? Why hasn't anything happened yet?"

"If this drags on any longer, the clan's spirit fields may really be ruined."

"Alas, I heard that Senior Xu wanted to take another look, so the Ancestor allowed him to take a few more days."

"Looking at it isn't a big deal, but we can't keep putting it off, can we?"

The group chatted as they went into the field to work.

Xu Zhou looked down at the Fei family's territory and fell into deep thought.

Just then, his consciousness stirred slightly, and he sensed a slight movement.

A moment later, footsteps echoed from the mountains.

Several children, no more than seven or eight years old, were sneaking towards Heng Changmu.

One of them was also holding a wooden plaque in his arms.

"Hurry, hurry, don't let Third Uncle see us."

He said we shouldn't go near here recently.

The children ran all the way to the tree.

The youngest girl, with the help of the other children, finally managed to climb to the top of the tree and carefully hung the wooden sign on a lower branch.

The wooden sign swayed gently, with a few lines of small characters crookedly written on it.

"I hope I can still play under the tree."

After hanging up, the children jumped down in a hurry and ran away as fast as they could.

Xu Zhou watched the children walk away.

My gaze inadvertently passed over the Fei family's territory and fell on the distant mountains and forests.

Just now, he seemed to have sensed something was wrong, but it was still vague and he couldn't be sure.

Most of the Fei family's spiritual fields are located under giant trees. Originally, they cultivated these fields to be protected by the giant trees, but now they are affected by them instead, and the spiritual rice in the fields looks sickly.

However, if you look into the distance, you will find that the hills and trees surrounding the Fei family's territory are lush and vibrant, which is out of place inside the Fei family's territory.

From this perspective, the Fei family center seems to have become a dead zone.

"wrong."

Xu Zhou's gaze suddenly fell on the distant outskirts of the clan.

"The spiritual energy in the Fei family's territory has certainly been affected."

"But the trees and plants around the clan's territory are a bit too green."

Thinking of this, Xu Zhou immediately stepped forward, transforming into a streak of light and flying into the distance.

The Fei family members noticed the change, immediately stopped what they were doing, and looked up at the sky in a panic, not knowing what had happened.

Several days later.

Inside the Fei family council hall.

The elders of the Fei family all looked rather grim.

"Ancestor, when exactly does Senior Xu plan to set up the formation?"

"If this drags on any longer, the clan's spiritual fields may really be damaged."

"Now the younger generation in the clan is in a state of panic, and some are even secretly talking about how the ancestor invited back a formation master who only knows how to talk big."

Fissin's face darkened at the noise in the hall.

"Nonsense!"

The elder immediately lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Fissin rubbed his temples and sighed softly.

In fact, after these past few days, even he was a little unsure what Xu Zhou was trying to do.

Since arriving at the Fei family, the other party has never mentioned setting up an array, and doesn't even seem to care much about Heng Changmu. Instead, he spends his days walking around the clan's territory.

His family members dared not disrespect him, but they did not know what he was doing, so it was inevitable that they would have some criticism.

After pondering for a long time, Fessin finally sighed inwardly.

Although he wanted to befriend Xu Zhou and gave him plenty of face, he did not want Xu Zhou to do nothing in the clan.

He slowly stood up and said, "Very well, I'll go and ask Fellow Daoist Xu myself."

When Fei Xin found Xu Zhou, the latter was on the outskirts of the Fei family's territory, standing in a grove of trees.

He had barely landed from the air and hadn't even spoken when Xu Zhou noticed and looked over: "Fellow Daoist Fei, have you come here to ask me what I've been doing?"

Upon hearing this, Fessin couldn't help but smile wryly.

"But it cannot be hidden from Fellow Daoist Xu."

There's been a lot of discussion about it in the clan lately, so I had to come and ask.

Xu Zhou wasn't annoyed.

He casually remarked, "By the way, Fellow Daoist Fei, haven't you noticed that the spiritual energy here is much denser than in ordinary mountains and fields?"

Fissin was taken aback, not expecting the other party to suddenly bring up this topic.

But he quickly realized what was happening and, after a brief assessment, said, "There is a slight change, but nothing major... What do you think, Fellow Daoist Xu?"

Xu Zhou smiled slightly and explained, "I've been traveling around these days and I've noticed that the Fei family's territory is a bit strange."

The Fei family's ancestral land is indeed a good place to live, with abundant spiritual energy. The fact that so many family members cultivate and farm here helps maintain the stability of the spiritual veins.

He paused briefly at this point.

Then, he looked at Fei Xin and said in a serious tone: "However, according to my observation, the ley lines here are not as robust as I imagined; on the contrary, they seem rather weak."

Without external nourishment, the spiritual energy of the earth's veins alone could never have formed a spiritual vein of its current scale.

Fei Xin's expression froze slightly, and a hint of anger flashed across his face: "Fellow Daoist Xu, you must be joking."

This place was chosen by my ancestors, and over the years, its spiritual energy has not only not dried up, but has become increasingly abundant. How can there be any sign of the earth's veins weakening?

This matter concerns the family, and although he respects Xu Zhou, he finds it difficult to agree with it.

Xu Zhou smiled, not paying any attention to the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone.

He continued, "Fellow Daoist Fei, please calm down. It is a fact that the earth veins here are weak, and I, Xu, dare to guarantee this with my many years of experience in array formation."

Therefore, after much thought, the most reasonable explanation is that the spiritual energy in the Fei family's land was not formed by the earth's veins.

But if the earth's veins are truly weak, where has the spiritual energy come from all these years?

Just as Fei Xin was about to say something in rebuttal, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Before the spiritual vein was damaged, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Fei family's territory was enough to support the entire clan plus him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But when our ancestor chose this place as our clan's territory, he didn't have his Foundation Establishment cultivation level. If the spiritual energy of the land had been as abundant as it is today, how could our ancestor have been able to protect this treasure land?

He was stunned.

His face instantly showed a look of horror, as if he had finally figured out something he hadn't understood for a long time.

The next moment, he turned around abruptly and looked at the giant trees in the distant mountains.

Xu Zhou's words continued to echo in his ears: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Fei has also realized the problem."

The spiritual energy your Fei family has accumulated over the years may not truly originate from the earth's veins. Perhaps, it's more related to the eternal wood.
