Chapter 392: Targeted

After Jiang Yun finished setting up the nine formations, he sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, watching the vortex above his head, lost in thought.

Tang Yi and Jiang Yun thought that the vortex contained only pure spirit energy, but in reality, it also contained equally pure sun and moon essence!

Few people knew about Jiang Yun having the Hun Tian’s Taoist Body.

But evidently, the world knew!

So as a reward to himself, the vortex contained spirit energy for the human race to absorb and sun and moon essence for the demon race to absorb!

"Could it be that this world is conscious? Or is it the work of the Shadow Spirit Realm Beast?"

Although puzzled, Jiang Yun didn’t miss this great opportunity and began to absorb both without hesitation.

Tang Yi and Jiang Yun wandered nearby, searching for shadow spirits.

After all, they also hoped to be able to bring out their own whirlpool, in order to absorb more pure spirit energy from this world, and enhance their cultivation.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, the two looked up. Though they were already prepared in their hearts, they couldn’t help but be deeply moved by the spectacular scene before their eyes.

On top of the five-thousand-zhang high mountain, there hung a giant vortex reaching tens of thousands of zhang high.

Perhaps not everyone in this world could see it, but most certainly would see it very clearly!

In fact, just as the vortex above Jiang Yun’s head reached ten thousand zhang, almost all the cultivators in this world had already sensed it!

What they sensed, however, was the massive loss of spirit energy and essence of the sun and moon!

Although this world was incredibly unfamiliar to all the cultivators from the Mountain-Sea World.

But when they felt the spirit energy and essence of the sun and moon here that could be absorbed by them, they felt quite secure.

With spirit energy and the essence of the sun and moon, they could cultivate, cast spells, and heal injuries.

However, when both of these began to diminish in large quantities, all the monks couldn’t help but start to panic.

Although each of them carried many pills that could replenish spirit qi and essence of the sun and moon, these pills were only for emergencies and life-saving purposes.

Even members of the Grand Medicine Sect could not rely solely on pills to replenish spirit qi.

And once they lost the supply of spirit qi or essence of the sun and moon, only death awaited them.

At first, they didn’t know what had caused the significant loss of both, until they saw the swirling vortex appearing on top of a high mountain.

"What is that?"

"How can there be such a huge vortex?"

"Could the swirling vortex be where the lost spirit qi is going?"

Questions arose from the mouths of these monks one after another, prompting most of them to head towards the direction of the vortex without hesitation.

Only when they reached the whirlpool could these doubts find answers.

However, some monks didn’t even pay attention to the appearance of the whirlpool.

For example, in a dense forest, Huo Duming, surrounded by a fire dragon, glanced at the whirlpool but then continued walking without giving it much thought.

In a desert, a burly man, larger than Tang Yi, watched the whirlpool with interest while tearing apart two evil spirits.

Then, he took out the Soul Stone and directly put it in his mouth, making a crunching sound.

Especially in a swamp, a man in black sat cross-legged with a ten-yard whirlpool floating above his head.

After glancing at the whirlpool in the distance, he expressed a bit of shock on his face and coldly uttered two words, "Idiot!"

If a disciple from the Seeking-Tao Sect saw him, they would recognize his identity—Wushang!

Even Jiang Yun was surprised that the person who triggered the whirlpool after him was not Gui Li but Wushang!

In short, those who ignore the vortex usually have strong self-confidence in their own abilities.

However, just as the giant vortex appeared before most people’s eyes, a very hoarse and unclear voice suddenly sounded from the sky.

"Kill a certain number of dark spirits to create a vortex on your own, in order to obtain the spiritual energy and essence of the sun and moon in this realm!"

"Only by creating a vortex can one have a chance to leave this realm!"

"However, in this realm that has existed for too long, the spiritual energy and essence of the sun and moon are limited. Once they are divided by others, the person who cannot eventually create a vortex will be trapped in this realm forever!"

"Of course, if you kill someone who has a vortex, then that person’s vortex will belong to you!"

Every word spoken by this voice clearly reached everyone’s ears.

Upon hearing these words, everyone was equally shocked.

Only Jiang Yun and Wushang showed a sudden change in their expressions!

Although both of them possessed whirlpools, they never expected that the whirlpools would transfer to someone else upon their death.

What surprised them even more was that the key to leaving this world was right above this whirlpool!

Even though no one knew who the speaker was, and it was uncertain whether their words were true or false, in the current situation, many people chose to believe it.

This meant that they would become targets of public criticism, even including their own peers as enemies.

Especially Jiang Yun, he was like a sitting duck – most people would target him first!

Indeed, that was the truth of the matter.

Everyone realized that the whirlpool was indeed formed by the accumulation of lost spirit energy or essence of the sun and moon, and it was the only way to leave this world.

Therefore, the few cultivators who had previously ignored the whirlpool had changed their minds and hurried towards its location.

However, there was still a very small group of cultivators who continued to act independently.

Because they knew very well that while the whirlpool was very attractive, only those with strong abilities could obtain such a whirlpool.

It would be better not to rush to the whirlpool and risk becoming a victim of others in the end.

Also, there is only one whirlpool, but there are definitely many spiritual practitioners heading there.

Instead of joining the crowd to fight for one whirlpool, it would be better to continue searching for Yin spirits and forming one’s own whirlpool sooner.

Without any hesitation, a cold light flashed in Wushang’s eyes, and suddenly five different energies rose up within him, representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The five elemental powers connected in the air, forming a circular wheel hovering above his head, temporarily blocking his whirlpool.

Following this, Wushang’s figure plunged directly into the swamp, his shining eyes staring straight at an underground cave ahead!

No one knew that this underground cave was a gathering place for Yin spirits.

The reason why Wushang was able to bring forth the whirlpool in such a short time was because he discovered this place.

Before entering Mirage, Tang Yi had already been known as a fierce fighter, so when faced with a large number of dark spirits, he not only did not run away, but instead charged right in.

If he wasn’t completely exhausted, he would probably still be fighting.

But now, with the sound ringing out, he had to continue killing many dark spirits in order to gain more spirit energy.

At the same time, a doubt finally arose in his heart: who conjured up that massive vortex?
