My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 285 Evolution of Spiritual Energy, Exploring the Origin

The white crystal floated slowly, surrounded by a mysterious glow.

Under the distant gaze of Heaven, the flames leaping on the surface of the crystal gradually dissipated.

The Heavenly Dao frankly stated, "Tens of thousands of years have passed, and that otherworldly corpse has still not completely disintegrated, remaining deeply buried beneath the Mist Mountain. This crystal is a piece that broke off from that corpse."

Chu Lengyu withdrew her hand and asked, "Since that's the case, you must also know about the existence of the Bai family's patriarch. Why did you allow it to continue?"

"I cannot interfere with individual choices; let nature take its course." The profound voice of Tiandao echoed in the space.

Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs.

From the falling of a leaf to the extinguishing of a star, everything is perhaps equal in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, His time scale is different from that of mortals.

In fact, Chu Lengyu could guess Tiandao's answer, but she still had to ask it.

"Are there any others similar to the Bai family patriarch?"

"Nothing."

"Are there any other secret existences like otherworldly corpses? You'd better let me know beforehand, otherwise I won't be responsible if you damage them."

"nor."

"The demons have repeatedly infiltrated this realm, causing disaster. Why didn't you stop them beforehand?"

"Even humans cannot accurately detect every single 'ant' crawling on their body."

……

Chu Lengyu asked all the questions she had accumulated recently, and the Heavenly Dao gave brief answers to each one.

The pure white space dissipated, and she landed back on the misty mountain.

Looking down at the land beneath my feet, ravaged by the battle and now in a state of collapse and chaos, the once lush vegetation has turned into patches of black ash.

Chu Lengyu couldn't help but sigh softly. Thinking about the mess she still needed to clean up, she reached up and pinched the bridge of her nose.

A few breaths later, she rallied her spirits, leaped into the air, and flew deep into the earth.

Guided by the will of Heaven, she traversed the complex underground space and finally found the place where she had previously felt a subtle threat.

Suddenly, a barrier made of white crystals came into view.

The crystal barrier gleamed in the dark, lightless underground world, emanating wisps of spiritual energy.

Is this the origin of spiritual energy in Wushan, and even the entire world?

Chu Lengyu curiously reached out and easily cut a piece off the crystal barrier.

The flames on the surface of the crystal could not harm her in the slightest; she could only observe them.

This single white crystal looks somewhat strange, but it doesn't have much of a special feature.

However, when they are closely intertwined and gathered together, they can continuously generate spiritual energy, which aroused Chu Lengyu's interest.

As she pondered this, the sword in her hand flashed, and she unleashed another strike.

With a series of crisp sounds, several large crystals fell to the ground and scattered everywhere.

However, this crystal barrier seemed to be endlessly deep, and even with Chu Lengyu's powerful divine sense, it was difficult to see its entirety, and he could only probe to a distance of a few miles.

The secrets hidden deep within the crystal barrier arouse curiosity.

Just how powerful is that otherworldly corpse that serves as the origin of spiritual energy? Could it be a celestial corpse?

Chu Lengyu, filled with doubt, was determined to continue exploring.

She retreated to a safe distance beforehand, taking precautions, before summoning her unique sword and filling it with spiritual power. She then commanded it to destroy the crystal barrier.

She retreated to a distance beforehand, her spiritual energy surging around her to prepare for any potential dangers.

She gave a soft call, and the Lone Sword appeared in response, its blade shimmering with a faint spiritual light.

Chu Lengyu channeled her spiritual power into the Dudu Sword, causing it to shine brightly and instantly transform into a snow-white comet, charging towards the gap she had previously cut with boundless power.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

The sound of shattering was incessant. The unstoppable sword strike was like a hot knife through butter. The crystal barrier was as fragile as paper under its impact, and it shattered one after another.

However, just as Du Bujian continued to penetrate deeper, he suddenly collided with an invisible force and was instantly thrown back.

At that very moment, a hazy, cyan-gold light shone through the gaps in the white crystal, revealing itself mysteriously and beautifully.

But the light vanished into the ground in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

This... there's actually a formation hidden beneath these crystals!

Chu Lengyu narrowed her eyes slightly and examined the crystal barrier in front of her again.

How can a protective array be set up on a "corpse"?

Unless, it didn't really die...

The moment this thought arose, it was like a thunderclap in her heart, bringing her a strong sense of crisis.

Faced with unknown dangers, the best choice is to retreat temporarily. So, she decisively turned around and prepared to leave this mysterious place.

However, before leaving, Chu Lengyu did not forget to leave behind a few insect-shaped puppets for surveillance purposes.

These insect puppets, silently hidden in the cracks of the crystal barrier, took in all the changes happening here.

"The spiritual energy here is more abundant, and the puppet has a spirit-absorbing array, so we can wait longer," Chu Lengyu muttered to herself.

Since this otherworldly corpse has been lying here peacefully for tens of thousands of years, it should not cause any disturbances in the short term.

As for the issue of spiritual energy, she has found a solution for the time being. The Xiandu Cave contains abundant spiritual energy, which is sufficient to meet her current cultivation needs.

As for this crystal barrier and that mysterious otherworldly corpse, let's leave them for further research at a later time.
