Chapter 142: Is the Mine About to Collapse?
During the day, there was no disturbance from the energy of the earth demons, and the mine was quiet, making it the perfect time to elevate his cultivation level!
To prevent other disciples from wandering into the mine he was working in, Ji Yang set up a sword wall in the middle of the mine, allowing him to sense if anyone entered!
Feeling everything in order, Ji Yang opened his attribute panel!
【Name: Ji Yang】
【Age: 19】
【Cultivation Level: Mid Golden Core】
【Techniques: Feather Transformation Ascension Skill, Huang Ting Dao Jing】
【Divine Powers: Heart Sword, Sword Cultivation, Breathing Technique of All Things, Thousands of Sword Energies, Feather Transformation】
【Cultivation Points: 205/999】
【Available Use】
【Status: Heaven’s Jealousy (Will face great danger within five days)】
【Status: Heavenly Punishment】
Looking at his current cultivation points, he thought reaching the Nascent Soul Stage should not be a problem.
Ji Yang focused his mind, no longer thinking about anything else, and pressed the usable button, feeling a familiar sensation surge into his body!
Countless gentle spiritual energy erupted from within him.
The intensity of this outburst far exceeded previous ones; even though the spiritual energy was gentle, it was abundant, and the emptiness was not replenished!
If it were his old body, he wouldn’t be able to handle such a large amount of spiritual energy.
However, times had changed; with increased cultivation points, Ji Yang’s physical body was now stronger! The number of White Light Points he absorbed was countless, and this intensity posed no risk to Ji Yang; instead, he felt a pleasant sensation from elevating his cultivation level!
Feeling the surge in his power, Ji Yang’s heart soared!
His long hours of mining were not in vain!
Indeed, heaven rewards hard work!
Under the impact of the vast amounts of spiritual energy, Ji Yang’s Golden Core spun rapidly, expanding in size while his cultivation level quickly soared.
From the Mid Golden Core stage, he instantly advanced to the Late Golden Core stage!
However, this time the cultivation points were abundant, and the spiritual energy continued to surge, allowing Ji Yang to stabilize his breakthrough while progressing towards the Nascent Soul Stage!
Transforming his Golden Core into a Nascent Soul was the mark of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.
Ji Yang’s Feather Transformation Golden Core was already several times larger than those of his peers at the Mid Golden Core stage, and upon breaking through to the Late Golden Core stage, it had grown to the size of a basketball.
With such a Golden Core, Ji Yang felt he could easily use it to strike someone!
However, the stronger the Golden Core, the harder it became to transform into a Nascent Soul, with the difficulty rising sharply in proportion.
Yet, with the surge of spiritual energy within him, Ji Yang felt no difficulty at all!
As the Feather Transformation Ascension Skill operated, Ji Yang’s momentum rose rapidly. The Golden Core within him began to show signs of transforming into a Nascent Soul, with head, arms, and legs gradually appearing!
At this moment, the Huang Ting Dao Jing, which had been circulating, also started to accelerate its operation.
Many factors determine the quality of the Nascent Soul, such as the techniques practiced, personal talent, and mental cultivation.
However, the more important factor is primordial spirit energy!
The physical body is the vessel, while the Nascent Soul is the spirit!
Only when the two unite can a cultivator reach their strongest state!
When cultivation levels increase to the high-level stages, both the physical body and the Nascent Soul are reinforced. In intermediate stages, the enhancement of primordial spirit energy is particularly noticeable, and cultivators gain more techniques, no longer limited to physical strength.
As spiritual energy remained abundant within him, Ji Yang’s Feather Transformation Golden Core had already transformed significantly, and his Nascent Soul was taking shape, revealing distinct facial features.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a smaller version of Ji Yang!
The mine shone brightly with white light, and Ji Yang’s body floated in the air. Surrounding vibrations lifted the scattered stones from the ground, making them rise as if wanting to ascend.
Other disciples in nearby mines felt the disturbance; a few who sensed something was wrong showed signs of panic.
The collapse of the Ziying stone mine served as a cautionary tale, which, although it did not result in any casualties, was still a notable incident within the sect, widely acknowledged.
This prompted nearby disciples to flee, shouting:
“Run! It’s going to collapse!”
A few ran frantically, and as their voices spread, disciples in other mines also felt slight tremors and immediately became frantic, hurriedly escaping.
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, they decided to run first; if this mine collapsed, even Golden Core stage cultivators could perish inside.
As many disciples sprinted out, Elder Lu, having received the news, rushed over. Upon hearing the mine was about to collapse, he snorted softly, clearly dismissive.
While he had indeed managed the Ziying Mine when such issues arose, that was purely accidental.
Moreover, the hardness of the Xuan Iron Mine was incomparable to that of the Ziying Mine.
Furthermore, there was another factor: the removal of the Zixin ore. Otherwise, with the support of Ziying stones, the Ziying Mine would not have collapsed that day.
Seeing the many disciples in a panic, Elder Lu soared into the air, raised his arm slightly, and shouted:
“Be quiet!”
“Running around in a panic is unacceptable!”
“Let me check!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd calmed down somewhat. While they still felt some tremors inside, once they stepped outside, everything was calm, clearly indicating nothing had happened.
One disciple spoke up:
“If Elder Lu can’t sense anything, why are you making such ridiculous claims?”
“Exactly, everything seems fine. Why are we worried about a collapse?”
“Who was the one saying it would collapse? Come out; I promise I won’t make trouble for you!”
Some disciples expressed their anger after assessing the situation.
Elder Lu paid them no mind and flew closer to the Xuan Iron Mine, placing his palm against it to use primordial spirit energy to sense the conditions inside the mine.
Upon sensing that the Xuan Iron Mine was as steady as a mountain, Elder Lu felt a surge of anger, preparing to hold accountable anyone responsible!
Just then, Elder Lu’s palm trembled slightly, and the feeling of vibration grew stronger.
This situation caused Elder Lu’s expression to change slightly. Was the mine really going to collapse?
He felt flustered inside but forced himself to stay calm, muttering:
“It’s impossible! The Xuan Iron Mine won’t collapse!”
“How could such misfortune fall upon me?”
Elder Lu recalled what had caused the previous collapse.
Right, it was Ji Yang who had dug too many mine tunnels.
Yes, that was it!
Where is Ji Yang?
Elder Lu turned around, trying to spot Ji Yang in the crowd, but after looking around, he found nothing.
Last time it was Ji Yang, and now the tremors were again linked to Ji Yang!
This made a sense of foreboding rise in Elder Lu’s heart as the vibrations in the mine intensified, accompanied by the sound of rolling stones from within. Elder Lu shouted:
“Quickly notify Elder Yan!”
The other disciples, who had been relatively calm, stared in astonishment at Elder Lu’s panicked expression.
Who was just shouting?
Seeing Elder Lu in such a state, the other disciples hurriedly retreated, not daring to come closer!
Elder Lu rang the bell and quickly used sound transmission to inform Elder Yan, who was in charge of this mine.
The Ziying Mine collapse was one thing, but if another Xuan Iron Mine collapsed, he would no longer have a place here; no matter how strong his connections, the sect wouldn’t tolerate such recklessness!
This was a matter of his future, and Elder Lu felt as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, moving around in circles.
In contrast, other disciples had calmed down; they had already exited, and the collapse couldn’t harm them now.
