Chapter 992: Chapter 989: Ancient Mountains and Seas
Ye Wuya’s words rendered the remaining seven silent.
After a moment, Lu Chen said, "Could it be that the Spirit Vein is too high-grade and the Spirit Vein Cage Immortal Talisman loses its effectiveness?"
"Cough, cough, I’ve never heard of such a situation before," Du Hui coughed dryly, denying it.
"If that’s the case, why did the victory explode?" Lu Chen asked.
Du Hui shook his head and said, "Not sure, I’ve never heard of such a situation."
"Could it be that an ancient seal of this Spirit Vein was awakened, containing a special Killing Array, which caused the Divine Talisman to fail and explode," Gan Qian suddenly said.
Yun Zong nodded, "Senior Brother Gan is right, such a situation is very likely."
The others also thought of the three large characters ’White Jade City’ on the peak top and couldn’t help but nod.
"Go take a look?" Linglong said.
Ye Wuya hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, don’t act rashly, let’s wait for a bit."
Du Hui also cautioned, "That’s right, let’s not act hastily, wait until this planet calms down to avoid other variables."
Originally, when a few arrived on Earth, they discovered that this planet was of a low-level technological civilization, which gave them a sense of invincibility, feeling like they could walk sideways on this planet.
However, now, having witnessed a Divine Talisman explosion and the peculiar changes happening on this planet, a slight sense of awe arose in their hearts towards Earth.
Yun Zong pondered, "We recognize those three characters, White Jade City. Does it indicate that top-tier cultivators from the Central Great World used to practice here?"
"It could be the Cultivation Cave Mansion of those super cultivators."
"Or perhaps, once a powerful Cultivation Sect called White Jade City was located here."
"But I’ve never heard of the Sect of White Jade City before."
"Neither have I."
"Considering such a Top-grade Spirit Vein, this Sect shouldn’t have declined, there should have been unmatched powerhouses preserving it, keeping it continuously inherited, why has it disappeared?"
"Have you ever thought about why it would sink into the deep sea?" Yun Zong finally said.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Indeed.
Why was this Top-grade Spirit Vein buried in the ocean depths?
Gan Qian said, "Perhaps this planet also once possessed an advanced Cultivation Civilization, but due to unknown upheavals, cultivation stopped being passed down."
"Senior Brother Gan’s guess holds some logic. I have discovered many lost civilizations before, those civilizations also had glorious Cultivation Civilizations but eventually declined due to various reasons. This planet is probably similar," Linglong said.
The crowd nodded one after another.
Gazing at the Spirit Vein Peak that continues to rise, their eyes were filled with complexities.
A sudden feeling arose within them, one which made them feel as though they were witnessing the impending rise of an entirely new Cultivation Civilization.
The planet is undergoing a Spiritual Energy revival, and now this Top-grade Spirit Vein has reemerged from the ocean’s depths, containing abundant Spirit Ore resources, countless cultivators will probably rise on this planet.
"The Spiritual Energy concentration of this land is increasing," Du Hui unexpectedly said.
Everyone sensed attentively, nodding one after another.
They had been on this planet for a month, and previously this planet’s Spiritual Energy was extremely scarce, forcing them to consume Spiritual Medicine or use Spirit Stones to sustain cultivation; otherwise, staying long-term in such a scarce Spiritual Energy world risked causing their Realm to fall.
Now, however, they feel that the surrounding space is filled with rich Spiritual Energy, the concentration of which barely supports a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s daily cultivation.
"It’s all because this Spirit Vein reemerged," Yun Zong said.
The crowd nodded silently because they can clearly feel the flourishing Spiritual Energy spilling out from that ever-rising mountain body.
Three hours later, under the observation of the eight, the sea-bottom mountain range with the three characters ’White Jade City’ inscribed atop the peak suddenly soared into the heavens, towering at an altitude of ten thousand meters, appearing to connect with the firmament from afar.
Visible to the naked eye, halfway up the mountain began to be shrouded in frost, while the mountain top started accumulating snow and ice.
White Jade City in the sky!
After about another half hour or so, the eight of Lingxiao Sect found the mountain seemingly ceasing its ascent.
A few of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Such a worldly phenomenon, they were witnessing for the first time; if this mountain range continued to grow indefinitely, they worried it might pierce the heavens.
Though there is no sky—just the vast, boundless cosmos—such an enormous mountain range, if it grew unchecked, they felt it would disrupt the planet’s balance.
Rising above the clouds is not just that peak inscribed with the three characters ’White Jade City’; at least seventeen or eighteen surrounding peaks soar into the sky.
This Spiritual Ore Mountain Range stretches for ten thousand miles, the end of which cannot be seen at a glance.
Once an endless frozen sea surface ice world, now the sea water flows unknown ways, while this enormous mountain range madly expands across the polar center of this planet.
Eight keenly observed; far off, the sea water surged in waves with the slight tremor of planet Earth, lifting giant waves.
The ocean domain remains, just shifted positions.
It is just unknown if other parts of this planet have undergone a transformation, swapping mountains and seas.
"Shall we go have a look?" Yun Zong, unable to suppress his excitement, inquired.
Ye Wuya inhaled deeply, asking, "What do all the junior brothers and sisters think?"
"I don’t feel any danger, let’s go see."
"The eight of us together should face no danger."
"If we don’t explore further, it would truly be unsatisfactory."
"Indeed, we must understand what’s going on."
Seeing everyone agreeing, Ye Wuya said, "Alright, then let’s go have a look, but everyone be careful, don’t split up."
"Yes."
After the agreement, several then flew with their swords towards the immense Spiritual Ore Mountain Range.
What the eight Foundation Establishment disciples of Lingxiao Sect didn’t know was that as they headed to explore the White Jade City Mountain Range, great changes had already occurred across planet Earth.
Globally, over seventy percent of ocean regions shrank by more than half within an extremely short time.
Now on Earth, the landmass has more than doubled.
Vast sea-bottom mountains have resurfaced, appearing beneath sunlight and void.
A massive water column formed from the center of the Pacific Ocean, heading toward the Moon in the sky.
Earth’s magnetic field underwent significant changes, beyond the atmosphere, a grand centripetal force extended towards the surrounding cosmos.
Orbiting satellites, space stations, and spacecraft suddenly face massive influence, deviating from their trajectories and falling toward Earth.
In the sky, Earth’s natural satellite, the Moon, also deviated from its original orbit, gradually converging toward Earth’s orbit.
Earth’s inhabitants only felt that the Moon, which hung in space, grew larger...
