I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

The sound of swords rang out from all directions.

Not a single handle.

There are hundreds or thousands of them.

The sound came simultaneously from the mountain wall, the ancient temple, and the depths of the sea of ​​clouds. At first, it was chaotic, but then it slowly merged into a deep, long hum.

hum-

The entire Cangfeng Mountain seemed to be completely awakened by this sound.

Xu Mian had already raised her gun.

A cluster of dark red flames also lit up in Qin Zhao's hand.

Cheng Fang stared at the black hall at the summit.

"Will it attack?"

Zhou Xiao's face was very pale.

"That shouldn't be the case."

"The Sword Tomb will only respond when the sect's grand formation is activated."

"It was already dead before the mountain was closed."

Lin Ye looked at him.

"Dead?"

"The spiritual veins are depleted, and the formation has stopped functioning."

Zhou Xiao paused.

"At that time, not even a single spirit lamp could be lit on the entire mountain."

But now.

In the distance, ancient temples are being restored to their former glory.

The mist in the mountain stream began to flow.

Even from the cracks in the stone steps beneath our feet, a very faint white mist slowly seeped out.

The technician looked at the testing equipment and his expression suddenly changed.

"The concentration of spiritual energy has increased again."

Cheng Fang turned his head.

"How many?"

"The entrance area is six times the size of the outside area."

"here……"

He checked it again.

"Twelve times."

The voice just fell.

The value jumped up again.

Thirteen.

fourteen.

It hasn't stopped yet.

Lin Ye had sensed it long ago.

He didn't need to actively activate the microcosmic orbit within his body.

The spiritual energy seeps in through your breath and skin.

Walk around the meridian once.

Let's walk around one more time.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

Outside, he also needs to deliberately calm his mind and guide his Qi into his meridians when he cultivates.

You can stand here.

It's like someone forcibly stuffing spiritual energy into the body.

Lin Ye subconsciously activated the "Concealed Breath Technique".

The agitation in the meridians finally subsided slightly.

A very soft inhale came from the Scripture of All Souls.

"It's been fucking a long time."

Lin Ye lowered his head.

"How are you feeling?"

"Shut up."

Wanling's tone was very aggressive.

But a few seconds later, it spoke again on its own.

"This is true spiritual energy."

The voice was much lower.

"Not that stuff you see outside... so thin you can barely smell it."

Lin Ye didn't reply.

Wanling didn't continue reminiscing.

It quickly returned to normal.

"Don't just focus on inhaling."

"The spiritual energy concentration here is recovering."

"Those of you who haven't adapted to a high spiritual environment, if you absorb too much, your meridians will also have problems."

Cheng Fang immediately instructed the technicians to synchronize the notification to everyone.

The first exploration team began to consciously lower their breathing rhythm.

The forest is alright.

The essence of the well has cleansed the meridians.

The microcosmic orbit is stable again.

His tolerance for stress was naturally higher than that of others.

Just a few minutes ago.

The meridians even felt like they were being soaked by rain after a long drought.

This was the first time Lin Ye truly understood.

Why are ancient cultivators and modern cultivators completely different things?

It's not that people are born stronger.

The difference lies in their birth environments.

Stand here for a while.

They are all stronger than many so-called "spiritual nodes" outside.

If you were to repair it from a young age in a place like this...

The gap is certainly large.

Zhou Xiao was also observing them.

Especially in the forest.

He clearly noticed that Lin Ye was almost unaffected by the spiritual pressure.

"What kind of magic do you practice?"

"Self-taught."

Zhou Xiao frowned.

"Self-taught?"

Lin Ye did not explain.

Now is not the time to exchange techniques.

Cheng Fang quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Is it possible to continue further in from here?"

Zhou Xiao looked up at the summit.

The sword's cry has gradually subsided.

"But don't go to Uchiyama."

Why?

"Woke up too quickly."

Zhou Xiao looked into the distance.

"The mountain gate, the spirit-guiding lamp, and the spirit-gathering array should have been restored layer by layer."

"Now everything is waking up together."

"I don't know what problems might arise inside."

This statement is more useful than simply saying "dangerous".

Cheng Fang immediately changed the route.

We won't go to the summit.

First, confirm the terrain along the outer perimeter.

Establish a second set of positioning points.

At the same time, the activity areas of these 23 awakened individuals were determined.

The team set off again.

Zhou Xiao led the way.

The further into the mountains you go, the fewer traces of the modern world remain.

There are no roads.

There is no cement.

The stone steps wind along the mountainside.

The ancient trees on both sides are incredibly tall.

Many trees require at least three or four people to encircle them.

The tree canopy cuts the sky into pieces.

The wind blew from deep in the valley.

It carries a moisture and a very faint, fresh scent of grass and trees.

Lin Ye walked several dozen meters.

It stopped suddenly.

There's something in the wind.

He stretched out his hand.

A pale purple leaf fell into my palm.

It's not the Purple Jade Grass.

Just ordinary tree leaves.

Yet, there was a faint spiritual aura on the leaves.

Wanling glanced at it.

Purple-striped maple.

"it works?"

"Even lighting a fire produces too much smoke."

Lin Ye threw the leaves away.

Wanling added another sentence.

"before."

Lin Ye paused in his steps.

They picked up the leaves again.

The technician behind them silently took out a sampling bag.

Wanling: "..."

No one laughed.

This is the most pressing issue right now.

Things that nobody cared about in ancient times.

Even if placed outside, it may have research value.

Walk a few hundred meters more.

The terrain begins to descend.

A mountain stream appears ahead.

The water was extremely clear.

The spiritual energy monitoring value rose again.

The technician squatted down to take a sample.

As soon as the sampling tube was put in...

A dark shadow suddenly flashed across the water.

Too fast.

Snapped!

The sampling tube was broken into two pieces.

Cheng Fang pulled the person back.

Xu Mian pressed the muzzle of his gun against the water's surface in an instant.

next second.

A silver fish the size of a palm leaps out of the water.

However, it has two rows of fine, sharp teeth in its mouth.

The moment it fell back into the water.

A dozen more dark figures surrounded them.

The technician looked at the remaining half of the sampling tube in his hand.

His face was pale.

Zhou Xiao wasn't too surprised.

"Silvertooth fish".

It doesn't bite normally.

Lin Ye looked at that row of teeth.

Are you sure?

Zhou Xiao remained silent for two seconds.

"I didn't bite before."

In a word.

Everyone understood.

It's not just the sects that have awakened here.

Things in the mountains are changing too.

After the spiritual energy was restored.

What exactly happened in this closed environment for over two thousand years?

no one knows.

Cheng Fang directly changed the plan.

"Don't get it wet."

"All plants and organisms are considered dangerous targets first."

The drone takes off.

They started to explore forward.

They no longer relied on human trials.

This time.

It had only flown less than two hundred meters.

The screen suddenly shook violently.

A vine as thick as a wrist swung down from the tree canopy.

Snapped!

The drone was completely entangled.

The propellers spun wildly.

It only lasted two seconds.

The fuselage was twisted into two pieces.

The monitor screen is black.

The line stopped.

In the woods ahead.

The vines that were originally motionless.

One by one, they began to hang down from the tree.

Dozens of them.

Hundreds of them.

It's like it smelled something.

Slowly turn towards the stone steps.

The forest opened its spiritual hearing.

The sound of countless streams of spiritual energy instantly echoed from the grove.

He raised his hand.

Don't go forward.

Qin Zhao had already taken his place at the very front.

The flames in his palm rose rapidly.

Zhou Xiao looked at the ancient forest that was coming "alive".

His face looked even worse than when Jianzhong Xiang had appeared earlier.

"here……"

"These things didn't exist before."

next second.

The first vine shot out suddenly.
