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

Wanling finished speaking.

The water level of Xijing Spring has dropped another inch.

It's not evaporation.

The spiritual energy that was originally surging upwards from the bottom of the spring was forcibly drawn away from the deeper underground.

Lin Ye immediately activated his spiritual hearing.

This time, there's no need to search deliberately.

The sound was too loud.

Medicinal herb field.

Spirit ore.

Underground river.

The newly restored Lingjing Well.

Even the remaining spiritual energy in the Sword Tomb is converging in the same direction.

Inner mountains.

Like a giant beast that had slept for over two thousand years, it finally began to truly breathe.

The first bite.

First, absorb all the usable spiritual energy from the entire mountain.

The second bite hasn't come yet.

The ground has begun to tremble slightly.

Cheng Fang did not hesitate.

"All sampling has been stopped."

"Reduced staffing."

"The second group is moving towards the mountain gate."

No matter how valuable resources are now, we can't gamble with our lives.

Xie Hongyi looked up and stared at Uchiyama.

"It's not out of control."

Lin Ye looked at her.

Are you sure?

"This used to happen at Cangfeng Mountain too."

She speaks very quickly.

"The main vein is restarting; first, we need to collect the scattered spiritual energy from all directions."

"The herb fields, sword mounds, and spirit wells will all temporarily decrease in price."

"Then the main peak spirit-gathering array was restarted."

Wanling also realized what was happening.

"right."

"This is for nurturing the mountain."

Lin Ye understood.

"Should we first gather the dispersed energy back in, and then redistribute it?"

"almost."

Wanling's voice, however, was not relaxed.

"The problem is that Cangfeng Mountain used to be supported by a complete spiritual vein."

"It has just returned to the boundary."

"Who knows if the connection at the bottom is secure?"

next second.

The technicians have given us even worse news.

"The spatial stability has dropped."

Cheng Fang turned his head.

"How many?"

"Ninety-one just now."

"Eighty-six now."

The numbers kept jumping.

Eighty-four.

Eighty-two.

It's not that the mountain gate is going to be closed.

The spatial state of the entire suspended mountain suddenly began to change drastically.

Lin Ye's face darkened.

"How's it outside?"

Communication was intermittent.

A few seconds later, the sound from outside the mountain gate finally came in.

"The height of the cliff continues to decrease!"

"External projection increased by seven percent!"

"The evacuation area in the northwest of the capital has been expanded!"

Cheng Fang only replied with one sentence.

"understood."

Then he looked at everyone.

"withdraw."

Even Xie Hongyi didn't object this time.

The main ridge of the mountain has been reopened.

The mountains outside the cliffs have collapsed.

Two things collided.

Going any deeper is gambling with your life.

The team immediately retreated.

Lin Ye took a few steps.

It suddenly stopped.

"wrong."

Cheng Fang looked at him.

"What did you hear now?"

"people."

It wasn't one of the twenty-odd awakened ones from the outer sect.

It's Uchiyama.

Very deep.

A sound.

Two sounds.

At first, it seemed like an illusion.

But as the main vein absorbed more and more spiritual energy, those sounds gradually became clearer.

heartbeat.

Breathe.

There was also the sound of spiritual energy being re-infused into the slumbering device.

Click.

Click click.

Like rows of old locks being opened.

Lin Ye looked up.

"The people inside are starting to wake up."

Xie Hongyi's expression changed instantly.

"How many?"

"I can't hear you."

"At least not just a few."

She turned around and headed towards Uchiyama.

Cheng Fang stopped him directly.

"If you go in now, once the mountain gate is closed, you won't be able to get out."

Xie Hongyi stared at him.

I didn't force my way in.

But the hand gripping the sword had tightened.

The person lying inside was not an unfamiliar ancient cultivator.

He was her master.

Fellow students.

Elder.

The people who sealed off the mountain together two thousand years ago.

Lin Ye glanced at her.

"Go out first."

"The mountain has landed, let's go in again."

Xie Hongyi remained silent.

A few seconds later.

Turn around.

"Walk."

There was no sentimentality.

But they move faster than anyone else.

The team retreated all the way out of the mountain.

When passing by the medicinal herb field.

The originally abundant spiritual energy has clearly decreased.

Several of the newly recovered medicinal herbs even began to curl their leaves.

Wanling cursed.

"Spendthrift."

"With the main peak taking this hit, the surrounding areas will need at least a few days to recover."

Lin Ye noticed something else.

The temperature of the Xijing Spring has dropped.

But he didn't have it in his body.

The medicinal properties I just inhaled have completely remained in my meridians.

When the microcosmic orbit rotates, it is noticeably smoother than before.

Even the brief, sluggish feeling when starting the Nine Steps of Swimming is gone.

Xie Hongyi ran ahead of him.

The speed is still fast.

Lin Ye suddenly thought about it.

A burst of spiritual energy erupted beneath his feet.

Swimming in nine steps.

They rushed forward in one step.

This time, we didn't fall behind as noticeably as before.

The two rushed across a stone bridge almost simultaneously.

Xie Hongyi turned her head to look at him.

"That's a bit too fast."

Lin Ye's breathing was normal.

"Only a little?"

"Still slow."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Xie Hongyi swayed.

In an instant, the distance widened by more than ten meters.

Lin Ye stared at her back.

I didn't pursue it.

But the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

At least the gap is starting to narrow.

And it's only been soaking for five minutes.

There will be more of these resources in the future.

His body will catch up with his ears sooner or later.

The mountain gate is getting closer and closer.

The roaring sounds outside became increasingly clear.

When the first group of people stepped out of the passage.

Everyone paused for a moment.

The sky has changed.

The mountain was at least several hundred meters lower than before we entered.

The mountain, which was originally upside down, is now slowly rotating.

It doesn't flip right right at once.

Instead, it's done little by little.

The mountain peak shifted.

The waterfall changed direction.

Large swathes of ancient trees were bent over by gravity.

Above the city.

It's like an entire mountain is struggling to turn over.

The technicians outside were frantically reporting data.

"The overlap rate is 63%!"

"The mass of the mountain is increasing!"

"It's not a projection!"

"Repetition, not projection!"

Lin Ye looked up.

All spirits fell completely silent.

This is different from the early morning.

I only "saw" it just now.

Now this mountain is truly beginning to become a reality.

A piece of rock the size of a fist broke off from the cliff.

This time it didn't disappear.

It passes directly through the edge of space.

It crashed down from a height of several hundred meters.

boom!

It landed in the locked-down area.

The soil was blasted open, creating a crater.

Everyone understood.

Wait until the entire mountain completes this process.

It is no longer a place behind the entrance to the secret realm.

It is, in fact, part of the real world.

Just then.

The Seventh Headquarters sent a new, top-level notification.

The process of transforming the "hanging hills" of Beijing into physical structures is irreversible.

[It is expected to be permanently integrated with the real terrain.]

After reading it, Cheng Fang's face darkened completely.

"It's not as simple as just landing."

Lin Ye also saw the second half of the sentence.

According to the latest space model.

After the fusion of the suspended mountains.

The existing topography in the northwest of the capital will be compressed, extended, and restructured as a whole.

highway.

River channel.

Administrative boundaries.

Everything is subject to change.

Xie Hongyi stared at the Hidden Peak Mountain that was turning over.

Suddenly asked:

"After it landed."

"Is this still considered your capital city?"

Lin Ye glanced at her.

"Calculate."

Why?

"Because our map will be changed."

Xie Hongyi didn't understand.

Lin Ye didn't explain either.

next second.

An even more violent tremor came from beneath my feet.

Boom—

far away.

Northwest horizon of the capital city.

It begins to bulge upwards.
