A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 138

Chapter 136 A Land of Spiritual Eyes, Absolutely a Treasure Trove of Creation

After years of excavation and exploration, he had roughly determined the size of the spiritual vein beneath Biling Island.

The shape of the spiritual vein differed from the ribbon-like patterns of most spiritual veins and associated veins.

It also differed slightly from the gnarled roots of the old tree on Star Palace Sacred Mountain.

Here on Biling Island, because of a layer of bluestone overhead that blocked spiritual energy, the spiritual energy couldn’t dissipate, making the structure of the spiritual vein more like a ginseng root. A gigantic ginseng root wearing a greenish-blue hat.

Its size reached thousands of miles.

Especially the green hat’s concealment meant that the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein and the spiritual mine had never leaked out for countless millennia.

Moreover, not only did it not leak out, but because of the self-circulating spiritual eyes within the vein attracting external spiritual energy, the spiritual vein of Biling Island continued to draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth from the surrounding sea and ley lines.

In other words, the underground spiritual vein was of the type where there was only inflow and no outflow.

This is also the main reason why there is almost no trace of spiritual energy in the tens of thousands of miles around Biling Island.

Because the free spiritual energy in the world is absorbed by the tributaries of the earth veins beneath the sea before it even approaches Biling Island, and then flows into the underground spiritual veins of Biling Island.

Furthermore,

the spiritual energy of the veins rises along the edge of the Green Hat layer, but is blocked at the top, unable to continue rising and leaking out. If there is no spiritual eye in the spiritual vein, this spiritual energy will accumulate at this edge, theoretically making this area more likely to form top-grade spirit stones.

However, after years of excavation and exploration, he discovered that directly below the top of the Green Hat layer, although there are many high-grade spirit stones and the spiritual energy is very pure, the conditions for forming top-grade spirit stones are not present.

The spiritual energy density in that area is insufficient.

Moreover,

after careful observation, he discovered that the spiritual energy in that area is not rising, but sinking.

It seems to be attracted by some kind of force.

There is only one reason for this: a spiritual eye!

A spiritual eye spontaneously gathers the surrounding spiritual energy.

If a spiritual eye exists beneath a spiritual vein, such as a large spiritual eye spring or spiritual eye stones, it can cause the spiritual energy above to sink and flow back down.

In this way, the spiritual eye site gathers the essence of the entire spiritual vein and spiritual mine.

This spiritual energy backflow, or reverse flow, creates an upward and downward clash of spiritual energy near the spiritual eye site,

similar to the human heart.

That is the high-yield area for high-grade spirit stones. It

is also where spiritual eye objects may exist.

And it is the place where top-grade spirit stones are bound to appear.

As long as there are top-grade spirit stones in the Biling Island mine, there will definitely be some there.

In short, the area truly rich in high-grade spirit stones is near the spiritual eye site.

“Little guy, it’s up to you now. Find that place for me,”

Han Li instructed, stroking the head of the level four double-pupiled rat.

Only a small beast with exceptional sensitivity to spiritual energy and the ability to see the flow of spiritual energy through its innate divine eyes could find the purest, most concentrated, and most accurate spiritual eye site in a short time.

The Spirit Eye Spring in Taiyue Mountain was found by the Twin-Pupil Rat.

This innate ability is beyond even the divine sense of high-level cultivators.

If it were him, he could only rely on his senses to determine the direction of spiritual energy flow. And this process undoubtedly has a huge margin of error.

The area spans thousands of miles, with spiritual veins reaching depths of hundreds or even thousands of miles—the sheer volume is considerable. If he were to conduct a meticulous, carpet-like search every few dozen feet, the efficiency would be far too low.

It would take at least several decades, even hundreds of years.

If he had that time, why would he bother raising the Twin-Pupil Rat?

“Squeak…”

The little guy, upon receiving the command, immediately began scratching.

The claws of a fourth-level demon beast are almost as sharp as those of a top-grade magic weapon.

…

Half a month later.

A huge milky-white pool…

no.

It can’t be called a pool.

It should be described as a small lake nearly seventy feet wide.

Standing before this small lake, Han Li fell silent.

Why?

A pool or lake that naturally exists within a spiritual vein and a large associated mineral vein is naturally not an ordinary thing.

“A Spirit Eye Spring?”

“Such a large Spirit Eye Spring?”

You must know, the enormous Spirit Eye Spring left by the Ice Soul Fairy in the secret chamber on the second floor of the Void Heaven Palace’s inner hall, where the Soul-Nourishing Wood is stored, was only about ten zhang in size. This

is forty or fifty times larger.

It’s more like a “Spirit Eye Lake” than a “Spirit Eye Spring.”

Spirit Eye Springs typically have four special products.

First, the spring itself.

Cultivators can recover their mana much faster within it.

The larger the Spirit Eye Spring, the faster the recovery.

The original owner and Xuan Gu and the others fought for a long time on the fifth floor of the Void Heaven Palace’s inner hall in their original trajectory, vying for the Void Heaven Palace and the items in the cauldron, consuming a great deal of mana. However, soaking their feet at the edge of that spring for a short time restored almost half of their mana.

This shows the miraculous effect of the Spirit Eye Spring on mana recovery.

Second, the Spirit Eye Pearl.

Although it’s only the lowest-grade spiritual eye item, lacking the purifying effect of spiritual eye stones (spiritual eye jade) and spiritual eye trees, the spiritual eye pearl still contains incredibly pure spiritual energy. Furthermore, the level of spiritual energy within the pearl often depends on the quality of the spiritual vein that formed the spiritual eye spring.

In other words,

as long as a spiritual eye pearl is found within the spiritual eye lake, it can be absorbed like a high-grade spirit stone.

This spiritual eye area, spanning two hundred feet, has a spiritual energy purity similar to the human heart due to countless years of spiritual energy clashes and accumulation!

For various reasons, the spiritual energy purity here is even higher than that of high-grade spirit stones!

Therefore,

the spiritual eye pearls nurtured within the spiritual eye spring are definitely no lower in quality than high-grade spirit stones.

Thirdly…

“The Spirit Eye Spring in the inner hall has only existed for sixty or seventy thousand years, yet it can accumulate half a bottle of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk. This Spirit Eye Lake has existed for only a little longer than the Void Heaven Palace, and even dates back hundreds of thousands of years. Furthermore, the size of the spiritual veins is mostly greater than the spiritual veins artificially transplanted by the Void Heaven Palace. In other words, as long as it is mined properly, I can obtain a continuous supply of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid!”

Furthermore, there is the fourth product, which is also what he values most.

The Spirit Eye Spring, naturally formed, after taking shape and undergoing at least ten thousand years of sedimentation, could potentially cultivate an incomparably pure spiritual energy deep within its depths.

Just like the spiritual energy released from the small spring in the Taiyue Mountain Spirit Spring Cave.

While the pure spiritual energy in the Taiyue Mountain Spirit Eye Spring is far less pure than that of a top-grade spirit stone, and perhaps even less pure than the mana of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, it is enough to amaze even a Nascent Soul cultivator like himself.

The spiritual energy nurtured in this Spirit Eye Lake for tens or even hundreds of thousands of years is likely not only purer but also more concentrated.

Perhaps its quality is no less than that of a top-grade spirit stone,

and its quantity is no less.

The difference in size between the Taiyue Mountain spring and this one is simply too great.

“If I were to move the Spirit Eye Lake and actively release the pure spiritual energy within it…”

He dared not think about it.

He couldn’t think about it.

He didn’t need to think about it.

That pure spiritual energy would be ideal for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage.

Using it now would be wasteful, and might even cause him to overeat and become “too weak to absorb nourishment.”

“Therefore, I can’t move this Spirit Eye Lake right now, so I can’t collect the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquid…”

Forcibly collecting it would most likely cause the spiritual energy to be released, which would be a complete waste.

At that time, not only would the losses be heavy, but it would also affect the success rate of the subsequent Divine Transformation stage.

…

After that,

Han Li decisively started a new closed-door cultivation mode.

He arranged for his level 5 spirit beasts to go to the smaller Spirit Eye areas on the outer periphery.

These Spirit Eye areas were not the core of the overall spiritual vein of Bi Ling Island, but only the core of small areas. These small Spirit Eye areas were precisely the areas where high-grade spirit stones appeared in abundance. There were as few as twenty or thirty, and as many as a hundred or so. There were countless mid-grade spirit stones.

In these areas,

he set up a large number of spirit-binding arrays.

In this way, he intercepted some of the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein and locked it within the arrays.

Then he placed the level 5 spirit beasts inside.

With the aid of the Spirit-Binding Array, these spirit beasts could advance their cultivation by leaps and bounds even while lying down and sleeping. A cultivation acceleration of thirty to fifty times meant that ten years of cultivation for these spirit beasts was equivalent to three to five hundred years of accumulation in the outside world.

He placed high hopes on the sixth Black Dragon and the Blood Jade Spider’s Little White and Little Jade, arranging them near the Spirit Eye Lake.

This area also provided a several-fold acceleration effect for sixth-level demon beasts and mid-stage Core Formation cultivators.

Ten years of cultivation was comparable to five or six hundred years of arduous training . The acceleration effect was even

better for Little White

and Little Jade. They didn’t even need to actively absorb spiritual energy; the high-quality spiritual energy around them would automatically enter their bodies, transforming into mana and then refining into true essence or demon essence.

It’s no exaggeration to say that cultivating in this area would be much faster than constantly absorbing the pure spiritual energy from high-grade spirit stones. Enclosing

this Spirit Eye Lake with the Spirit-Binding Array would further amplify the compression effect of the small-scale spiritual energy clashes.

As for why only he, the Black Dragon, and their two avatars were present?

The main reason was that this area wasn’t very large, and the purest spiritual energy was limited, far from meeting the cultivation needs of all the spirit beasts.

That’s why he didn’t even place the hundreds of specially selected Gold-Eating Insects nearby, but instead used jade to build breeding chambers for them.

“Let them cultivate.”

There were still over forty years left.

Enough for his entire spirit beast squad to advance.

In his spare time, he would also explore the surroundings, such as retrieving Spirit Eye Pearls from the Spirit Eye Lake.

“One, two, three…”

He actually found more than twenty in total. He

absorbed one, confirming that the quality of its spiritual energy was far superior to that of a high-grade spirit stone.

The quality of its spiritual energy was more than ten times that of a high-grade spirit stone.

The total amount of spiritual energy was two to three times that of a high-grade spirit

stone. One was comparable to twenty or thirty high-grade spirit stones.

In addition,

he also found three Spirit Eye Trees, each over six zhang in size, in the spiritual veins.

There were also more than ten Spirit Eye Stones, one of which was unimaginably huge.

Of course…

These spiritual eyes are definitely not all the products of the top-grade spiritual veins on Biling Island.

This large spiritual vein, along with its accompanying high-grade spiritual mines, is like a giant, and each spiritual eye within the vein is like an acupoint in the human body’s meridians.

There are at least seven or eight hundred such acupoints, if not a thousand.

There are many areas that he and the Twin-Pupil Rat haven’t even explored yet, following the vein’s course.

“The original trajectory’s Star Palace and the Reverse Star Alliance are busy fighting amongst themselves and have no intention of joining forces to occupy this spiritual mine. If the two sides were to join forces, the human race in the Star Sea would experience a leap forward. What a pity, what a pity.”

One year later, late-stage Core Formation!

Another year later, Feng Hun, late-stage Core Formation!

Qu Hun, peak of mid-stage Core Formation!

Lao Liu, level seven!

Xiao Bai and Xiao Yu, both peak of level six!

The other spirit beasts and spirit insects have also undergone transformations and advancements.

They are all using cheat codes that grant dozens of times more experience.

The so-called Ancient Spirit Feeding Pills are simply not enough in front of the top-grade spiritual veins in the human realm.

Lying still in the Spirit Eye Land is far more effective than a Nascent Soul cultivator receiving a power boost.

Please give me some votes, everyone; recommendation votes are also very important. Thank you.
