Chapter 163: Guardian Will!

Here is different from the outside environment.

Vibrant with life, green and red plants can be seen everywhere.

But Fang Yu’s gaze focused on a pool of light blue spring water ahead.

This must be the Spirit Spring.

Looking ahead, one could see a pool of light blue spring water.

The spring wasn’t very large, probably around 100 square meters.

Fang Yu took a deep breath, his expression one of enjoyment.

The spiritual energy around was incredibly abundant.

It reminded him of 4,000 years ago, when spiritual energy was this abundant everywhere on Earth.

Fang Yu walked closer to the Spirit Spring.

The color of the Spirit Spring water was different from ordinary spring water, giving off a faint blue light, but looking very pure.

“Spirit Spring! We found the Spirit Spring!”

At this time, Zhong Yuan and others also came out from the cave, overjoyed at seeing the light blue spring water.

“It really is a Spirit Spring… The spiritual energy here is much stronger than outside. If we can cultivate here for a while, our cultivation will surely progress extremely fast!” said an elder with excitement in his eyes.

“Never mind that for now, let’s try some Spirit Spring water first!” Zhong Yuan quickly walked toward the spring.

“Brother, don’t rush!” Zhong Li Yu called out to Zhong Yuan.

“Mr. Han just said there are many restrictions here. If you approach the Spirit Spring rashly, you might trigger their power,” Zhong Li Yu said.

Hearing Zhong Li Yu’s words, Zhong Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, realizing he had been too excited.

Remembering the two elders who had turned into mummies earlier, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, he looked toward Fang Yu, who was standing still while looking at the Spirit Spring.

“Master Fang, what do you think? Are there restrictions here?” Zhong Yuan asked.

Fang Yu didn’t answer Zhong Yuan’s question.

His attention right now wasn’t on the Spirit Spring before him.

He was searching for the spring’s source.

After coming out of the cave, the spiritual energy in this small realm had become much more abundant.

This meant that nearby, there must be a source releasing spiritual energy.

Whether it was the Spirit Spring or the thriving plants around, they were all nurtured by this source.

Where was the source?

With Fang Yu’s sensing ability, he could tell that in this small realm, the place with the most abundant spiritual energy was that pool of spring water.

“No external connections, no upstream… Could this spring water be welling up from underground?” Fang Yu thought.

Welling up from underground…

Fang Yu’s eyes lit up.

The source of spiritual energy in this small realm might be beneath the Spirit Spring!

Thinking of this, Fang Yu walked forward.

“Master Fang, what are you doing?” Zhong Yuan asked when he saw Fang Yu suddenly walking forward.

Fang Yu turned to look at Zhong Yuan and said, “I’m going down.”

“Going down?”

Everyone was shocked.

“Master Fang… You mean you’re going to jump into the Spirit Spring?” Zhong Li Yu asked with wide eyes.

“Yes, if you want to leave early, you can go anytime. No need to wait for me,” Fang Yu said.

As he spoke, Fang Yu had already walked to the edge of the Spirit Spring.

At this moment, something strange happened!

“Whoosh!”

A piercing sound rang through the air, like the sound of a sharp blade cutting through space!

A silver light flashed in the air, targeting Fang Yu’s neck!

“Clang!”

The sound of hard objects colliding rang out.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The air was filled with the whistling of sharp blades, silver lights flashing toward Fang Yu.

Fang Yu remained standing still, not even trying to dodge.

His neck was slashed several times by the silver light, but not even a mark was left.

Zhong Yuan and the others watched with wide eyes, their faces full of shock.

Fang Yu touched his neck, smiled calmly, and said, “If you want to cut my neck, you’ll need sharper blades. I’d actually like to see myself bleed.”

“Boom!”

As if angered by Fang Yu’s words, a huge sound came from above.

“This, this is…”

At this moment, Zhong Yuan and the others finally saw the silhouette of a giant axe in the sky.

It wasn’t physical, seeming to be formed from true qi, but it looked extremely terrifying.

The moment they saw it, the giant axe was already falling toward Fang Yu, aiming for his head!

Fang Yu calmly raised his right hand, palm facing the giant axe.

Now, the axe’s blade was about to touch Fang Yu.

Fang Yu’s right palm made a grabbing motion in the air!

“Boom!”

Before the giant axe could touch Fang Yu, it shattered directly!

“I don’t have time to waste with you, you can’t stop me,” Fang Yu seemed to be talking to someone as he jumped into the Spirit Spring.

The surroundings returned to silence.

Zhong Yuan and the others stood on the shore, looking at each other in bewilderment.

…

After jumping into the Spirit Spring, Fang Yu felt a sense of comfort, as if all his pores had opened up.

The Spirit Spring was deep, unusually deep.

But this precisely proved that Fang Yu’s guess wasn’t wrong.

Below the Spirit Spring was the source of this spiritual energy!

Fang Yu quickly sank down, descending about twenty meters before finally reaching the bottom.

At this point, he could feel an extremely strong spiritual energy emanating from somewhere beneath his feet.

The Spirit Spring must have been formed by underground water welling up; he just needed to find the opening.

A red light appeared in Fang Yu’s eyes as he searched the lake bottom.

After a few minutes, he found an opening at the edge of the spring bottom.

The Spirit Spring water was flowing out from this opening!

Without hesitation, Fang Yu swam in.

Beyond was a pitch-black passage.

Fang Yu was extremely excited because he knew he was getting closer and closer to the source of spiritual energy.

After passing through the dark passage, brilliant blue light appeared ahead!

Looking at the scene before him, Fang Yu’s eyes showed only excitement.

How many years had it been!

How many years since he had seen such a huge spirit vein!

Fang Yu had reached the underground water layer, and before him was a spirit vein dozens of meters long, giving off blue light!

A spirit vein is the crystallization of original stones containing spiritual energy.

Thousands of years ago on Earth, cultivators commonly used spirit stones for trading. And spirit stones were nurtured from spirit veins.

In the past, all major cultivation sects had a spirit vein within their territory. A spirit vein was both the foundation and lifeline of a sect.

The trigger for the great sect wars in the cultivation world back then was the fight for spirit veins.

Some sects and evil cultivation factions, resenting the righteous alliance’s control over most spirit veins, declared war in anger.

It could be said that the value of one spirit vein far exceeded that of a major sect!

“Damn, am I dreaming… How could I find such a huge, long spirit vein!?” Fang Yu could hardly believe it.

He had lived for nearly five thousand years, and his temperament had long been tempered.

But facing this spirit vein, he could no longer maintain his composure!

Even thousands of years ago, Fang Yu had never encountered such a large spirit vein alone!

Moreover, he now wanted to break through to the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement.

If he could completely absorb the spiritual energy from this spirit vein, Fang Yu might reach the ten thousandth layer of Qi Refinement today!

This was an entire spirit vein! Enough to nurture a major sect.

But now, he could have it all to himself!

Fang Yu hesitated no longer and rushed toward the spirit vein.

“Young man, stop right there! You dare intrude into our Shadow Moon Clan’s forbidden ground and attempt to take our spirit vein?” At this moment, a deep voice like thunder penetrated Fang Yu’s ears.

“Shadow Moon Clan? Never heard of it,” Fang Yu smiled faintly in response.

“I am the guardian will left by the first clan leader of the Shadow Moon Clan. Take one more step closer, and I will kill you immediately!” The other party was extremely angry.

“If you could kill me, you would have done so already. Why waste words? You can’t do anything to me.” Fang Yu spoke while continuing to approach the spirit vein.

“Young man, die!” the guardian will roared.

Around Fang Yu, a sudden tremendous force appeared, crushing in on him.

Ordinary warriors, even masters, would probably be instantly crushed into meat paste by such force.

But Fang Yu didn’t even change his swimming posture, remaining completely calm.

At this time, an unusual energy appeared.

This energy was similar to what Fang Yu had detected earlier when the village chief and the Zhong family elders had turned into mummies.

“Young man, I will extract all your life force! To serve as material for our Shadow Moon Clan’s bloodline rebirth!” the guardian will roared.

A gray gas suddenly appeared, enveloping Fang Yu’s body.

It entered through every pore on Fang Yu’s body!

It would extract Fang Yu’s life force, turning him into a mummy!
