Chapter 385: Spiritual Energy Vortex

About ten feet above Jiang Yun’s head, a ten-foot vortex suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

In the vortex, there were continuous waves of spiritual qi overflowing.

Although Jiang Yun didn’t absorb this spiritual qi, feeling it land on his body made him experience a sense of relief in his mind.

Therefore, he was sure that these spirit energies were purer than any spirit energies in the Mountain-Sea World, almost as pure as the spirit energies in the Refining Heaven Furnace, with hardly any impurities.

However, Jiang Yun was afraid to absorb these spirit energies, as they appeared too strange.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at Tang Yi and the other person behind him, noticing their surprised expressions as they observed the vortex. However, there were no vortexes above their heads.

In other words, only a vortex appeared above his own head.

"What is this?"

Jiang Yun quietly asked Bai Ze, who remained silent, unable to admit that he didn’t know what it was.

"Martial Brother Jiang, what is this?" Tang Yi also asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yun shook his head with a bitter smile, while Lu Yourong opened his Dao Eye again and, after observing the vortex, exclaimed, "This vortex is completely made of spirit energy!"

"No, it’s releasing a powerful suction force, drawing in all the spirit energy within a radius of at least a thousand feet…"

At least a thousand feet, because Lu Yourong’s special vision can only see up to a thousand feet!

In reality, at this moment, some sensitive cultivators in this world are all feeling that the spiritual energy in the air is decreasing, no matter where they are in the world.

Even though the decrease is very slow, the unusual phenomenon in this unknown world naturally makes them more alert.

Of course, most cultivators are unaware, still cautiously advancing in this world, hunting for prey while also being hunted by others.

Jiang Yun furrowed his brows, looking up at the vortex above his head.

Especially feeling the pure spiritual energy overflowing from it, a look of desire involuntarily appeared on his face.

Now at the sixth level of the Blessed Land, with only three Blessed Lands left, especially the Boundary Sea Blessed Land being the most difficult to condense, he was hoping to try his luck in the Mirage and see if he could obtain enough spiritual energy.

But now, spiritual energy actually appeared!

After a brief hesitation, Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and made a decision to open all the meridians of the Blessed Land in his body, releasing a suction force to start absorbing the spiritual energy.

At first, Jiang Yun controlled how much spirit qi he absorbed to avoid any unknown dangers.

When the spirit qi entered his body, he felt a great sensation all over, without any discomfort. The spirit qi was so pure that absorbing just a little was like absorbing a lot in the Mountain-Sea World. So, he decided to fully absorb it!

After fifteen minutes passed and he confirmed that the spirit qi was safe, he turned to Tang Yi and the others, who were amazed, and said, "You should absorb this too, it will be beneficial for your cultivation!"

Tang Yi and the others were already curious, and now that Jiang Yun encouraged them, they sat down next to him and began absorbing the spirit qi.

However, they soon realized they couldn’t absorb the spirit qi and exchanged puzzled looks.

Jiang Yun was surprised and said, "Hmm, it should be the same as absorbing in the Mountain-Sea World!"

Despite trying again, they shook their heads and said, "We really can’t absorb it! It seems only Martial Brother Jiang can absorb it."

Jiang Yun suddenly had a realization and said, "Could this be what the sect master mentioned about gaining Mirage’s approval?"

Before Dao Tianyou left, he told everyone that to gain fortune, they needed Mirage’s approval, and it was up to them to figure out how to earn it.

As Jiang Yun spoke, Lu Yourong realized, "It’s very likely! Martial Brother Jiang just killed so many dark spirits and took their Soul Stones, then the vortex appeared."

Tang Yi pondered, "Does this mean that in this world, once you kill a certain number of dark spirits, the vortex will appear, providing spirit qi that only one person can absorb, like a reward from Mirage for us?"

Although the three of them guessed correctly, Jiang Yun still had doubts in his heart.

Because only he knew that this world was not the one Mirage originally led them to, but merely an undigested world within the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast, with no connection to Mirage at all.

Himself and the others probably wouldn’t gain Mirage’s approval no matter what they did.

"Unless…"

A glint suddenly flashed in Jiang Yun’s eyes, "Unless, each time Mirage leads us to a world within the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast!"

"In fact, Mirage may even be controlled by the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast!"

Jiang Yun didn’t dare to speak this idea out loud, as it was too frightening, even he couldn’t believe it when he thought about it himself.

Besides, many people who went to Mirage before have encountered creatures that are not Shadow Spirits.

If Mirage is really a passage to the inside of the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast as Jiang Yun guessed, then besides Shadow Spirits, there should not be any other creatures.

"Could it be that inside Mirage, besides Shadow Spirits and us outsiders, there are other beings?"

"If there are, perhaps they might know a way to leave this place!"

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun felt a sudden boost in his spirits.

His biggest worry was not being able to leave, but now he unexpectedly found a glimmer of hope, making his heart greatly pleased.

At this moment, Lu Yourong’s voice rang out again, "Martial Brother Jiang, to verify if our guess is correct is simple. We just need to leave this place and see if the whirlpool still follows you!"

"Alright, let’s go!"

Next, Jiang Yun and his two companions swiftly left the area, deliberately increasing their speed, flying hundreds of miles away, and sure enough, the whirlpool continued to closely follow them.

After Jiang Yun killed a few more dark spirits, the vortex unexpectedly expanded further.

This all indicates that the three of them were right – only by killing a certain number of dark spirits, will a vortex provide a large amount of spirit energy!

"It seems like we have quite the opportunity here now!"

Understanding this, all three of them showed happy expressions on their faces.

Just then, Jiang Yun furrowed his brows suddenly and looked around, saying, "I feel the spirit energy decreasing, it seems like someone else, like me, has a spiritual energy vortex above their head!"

Tang Yi and Lu Yourong were shocked, asking, "Who is it?"
