Chapter 167: Opening the Spiritual Field 2
A brief silence appeared in the copper mirror, followed by a large character appearing on its surface.
“Don’t!”
The middle-aged man seemed to lose interest in talking with Ji Yang and chose to communicate this way.
Ji Yang ignored him and continued,
"You’ve been in the mirror for so long. Don’t you want to come out and see the world outside?"
There was no response from the mirror.
However, Ji Yang did not give up; he continued to entice with his words:
“The lake reflects the autumn moon, the surface calm like an unpolished mirror.”
“From afar, I see the beauty of Jingtan Peak, like a green spiral in a silver plate.”
"With such a beautiful view at Jingtan Peak, aren’t you moved?”
The silence in the mirror persisted, but Ji Yang smiled slightly, sensing the tremor from the middle-aged man within.
Anyone who had been trapped in a mirror for a thousand years would yearn for the outside world.
“Kid, don’t think you can test me. I won’t come out. You must be trying to deceive me. Once my remnant soul leaves the mirror, you’ll get rid of me, right?”
“I won’t go out; no matter what you say, I won’t go out!”
Ji Yang clicked his tongue in response:
“Senior, don’t judge my intentions as that of a petty person. I only wish for you to see the changes in the Cultivation World.”
“Things are the same, but people have changed. The scenery from the past is no longer there. Don’t you want to take a look? Perhaps the reflections could deepen your understanding and help you on your path to greatness!”
After a brief silence in the copper mirror, the middle-aged man’s voice finally came through:
“Hmph, don’t try to use such grand words to deceive me. If I’m coming out, I’ll come out!”
As he spoke, a strand of black light exited the copper mirror, finally entering the nearby Golden Valiant Warrior.
Ji Yang focused intently on the just-emerged remnant soul, then sealed the copper mirror again and placed it in his storage bag.
When the remnant soul entered the body of the Golden Valiant Warrior, the originally dull-eyed Warrior quickly showed a hint of clarity, and its gaze gradually became lively.
The middle-aged man, now awake, first felt his body and then exclaimed in surprise,
“A Battle Soldier?”
Then he moved his limbs around and lightly remarked,
“The realm is a bit low.”
Ji Yang took no heed of this and, seeing the middle-aged man’s remnant soul had emerged from the mirror, said to him,
“Recently, I have been opening spiritual fields on the peak. I’d appreciate your help in overseeing them.”
Having said that, Ji Yang didn’t wait for a response; he turned and returned to the wooden house, taking out the "Supreme Sword Energy" left by Ye Wuchen to examine it.
Now that things had developed to this point at Jingtan Peak, he needed to prepare for any unforeseen events.
The middle-aged man said nothing further but began to wander around, using his new body to take in the scenery surrounding Jingtan Peak.
Looking at the colorful and flourishing spiritual grains around him, the middle-aged man felt a surge of excitement.
He hadn’t seen such scenery in a long time.
However, this novelty quickly faded as he strolled around Jingtan Peak for a while.
Spiritual grains, spiritual grains, it was all just spiritual grains!
He was staring intently at a tree, lost in thought, when suddenly a Black Rock Warrior beside him raised its Great Sword and cut the tree down at the root.
The middle-aged man looked at the scene in disbelief, then turned to an Odd-shaped Giant Stone, just as another Purple Rice Warrior sprang out, wielding a Giant Hammer and smashing the stone into pieces.
Damn it, what is this kid trying to do?
Opening a spiritual field? There are already so many, and he still wants to open more—it’s truly beyond saving!
Such talent is being wasted!
The middle-aged man decided to move away from the chaos and flew down the mountain.
While flying, the middle-aged man glanced around, his expression revealing confusion as he muttered:
“The lake reflects the autumn moon, the surface calm like an unpolished mirror.”
“Where’s the lake? Where’s the lake?”
After searching all over Jingtan Peak, he finally spotted the Clear Pond below and couldn’t help but shout angrily:
"Is this your lake?"
Hearing the voice nearby, Ji Yang smiled.
Well, why not?
Looking at the Clear Pond before him, the middle-aged man felt a desire to leave Jingtan Peak and wander around the He Dao Sect.
Just then, Ji Yang’s voice came as a reminder:
“Senior, it’s best not to go out. It isn’t very safe outside, and without an identity token, people might misunderstand you!”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly:
“In my past, with my identity and strength, I could go anywhere, not just here! Even in the Cultivation World, I could go wherever I want!”
Hearing this, Ji Yang, who was watching the situation with primordial spirit energy, decided not to say anything further.
After all, the middle-aged man’s main soul was still in the mirror; he was merely a fragment of a soul now, and with only the Early Stage of Yuan Ying strength of the Golden Valiant Warrior, it was impossible for him to leave the He Dao Sect. Let him go.
At this moment, the middle-aged man had already flown away from Jingtan Peak toward the center of the sect.
Not long after he took off, he saw the peculiar scenery of another peak, lush and vibrant.
He wanted to go up and take a look, but as his primordial spirit energy spread out, he felt an overwhelming sense of danger, leaving him hesitant and causing him to move to another spot.
“These springs are perfect for restoring my primordial spirit energy!”
Soon, the middle-aged man turned his gaze toward Shengquan Peak.
Just as he was about to fly over, he sensed a powerful crisis once again and had to leave.
The middle-aged man traveled in different directions several times but ultimately returned, realizing that, in his current state, he truly couldn’t go anywhere.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t detach all his primordial spirits from the copper mirror for now; otherwise, he wouldn’t have to stay beside Ji Yang.
It would be better to slip away early, but it seemed he could only wait for another opportunity later.
Soon, the middle-aged man returned to Jingtan Peak.
Seeing the Battle Soldiers almost clearing the spiritual field down to the pond, the middle-aged man immediately shouted:
“Don’t touch this area for the spiritual field! Dig over there!”
In the following days, Ji Yang stayed in the wooden house at the peak, using his time to enhance his Supreme Sword Energy and see if he could learn anything.
He would occasionally harvest some White Light Points from the spiritual field and check on the spiritual plants.
Although the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower grew slowly, it always provided him with a bit of Blue Light Points each time.
As for the other Mid-tier Spiritual Plants, they were not yet mature and could only provide a few Green Light Points.
Ji Yang had intended to go to the Clear Pond below the peak to practice his somewhat rusty fishing skills, but upon arriving, he discovered that the spiritual fish in the pond had long been devoured by the two beasts.
The work of opening the spiritual field had been proceeding very smoothly.
Ji Yang had countless spiritual grains in hand, easily converting them into Battle Soldiers.
These Battle Soldiers had no spirit intelligence, only obeying orders; they would clear mountains when encountering them and smash stones when meeting them, making them very convenient to use.
The only minor flaw was that they lasted only one day, and the next day Ji Yang needed to cast his spell again.
With the middle-aged man’s assistance, Ji Yang no longer converted the spirit-intelligent Battle Soldiers like on the first day.
The middle-aged man, being an ancient warrior, certainly knew a lot. Under his planning, more spiritual grains could be cultivated on Jingtan Peak.
Ji Yang was very satisfied with this.
