Even though he had many considerations, he felt that the situation before him was tricky. Under such circumstances, Luo Xiu felt helpless. After all, it was an indisputable fact that he was not good at formations. Even though his strength was not weaker than an ordinary Peak Saint, his helplessness showed that his strength was useless at this time.
After all, his strength was only one aspect. Whether he could repair the formation as soon as possible wasn't limited by his strength. Furthermore, he had run so far and missed the best time to repair the formation. If he hadn't been on the way and wasted more than ten days, the situation in the spiritual stone mine might have been different. At this thought, Luo Xiu felt that he had let Xue Yuming and the rest down. "Host, the spiritual stone mine has been verified.
"Host, I've already ascertained that the reserves of spirit stones here are extremely shocking. Even if I were to mine, I would be able to mine for over a thousand years. Of course, what I'm talking about is the maximum speed that I can achieve with my technological tools. The concentration of spirit stones here is extremely high and the energy density far surpasses any spirit stone mine recorded in the system's database. Furthermore, there are over ten places with extremely powerful radiation sources. From the distribution of these radiation sources, it can be seen that there are even more precious things here. It is very likely that some Xiantian spirit objects are being nurtured here. Tsk tsk, honestly speaking, your Qiankun Sect is really guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it!"
Just as Luo Xiu's imagination was running wild, the system in his mind suddenly spoke excitedly.
Then, without waiting for Luo Xiu to open his mouth to ask, a three-dimensional pattern appeared in front of Luo Xiu's eyes. On the landscape picture, there were thirteen extremely bright white spots, and around those white spots, there were faint energy radiation halos, big or small, bright or dark. What shocked Luo Xiu even more was that the distribution of these points of view was especially interesting, and from the distribution of these light spots, Luo Xiu actually discovered that the distribution of these radiation sources seemed to form a special array, and this array was even more mystical than the Great Xuanyuan Array.
"System, is there something you didn't explain clearly? Why do I feel that the radiant energy fluctuations you pointed out seem to be the nodes of some kind of formation? However, in the memories I obtained from Xuan Ming, why didn't I have any impression of a formation made up of these energy nodes?
What makes me even more surprised is that with the strength of the Qiankun Sect's elders, it is impossible for them to not notice such obvious energy fluctuations. However, this spirit stone mine has been under the Qiankun Sect's control for more than ten thousand years and they still haven't discovered the location of these innate objects. This is somewhat thought-provoking!
Could it be that these radiant energy nodes were concealed by the Xuanyuan Formation? Now that the formation has been broken, they are revealed. Tsk tsk, if that is the case, then the Qiankun Sect's waters seem to be deep! "Luo Xiu couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the twelve energy nodes.
Compared to the memories he obtained from Xuan Ming, this scene gave him a strange feeling. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for the Qiankun Sect's experts to not notice these dozen or so special energy rich regions. Moreover, they really didn't discover them before. This was enough to explain many problems. More importantly, Luo Xiu even suspected that the secret here might be the result of the Qiankun Sect's ancestors using a formation to hide it.
"Whether it is deep or not, does it have any effect on you?
It doesn't at all, okay? You are just too careful. In this situation, with your current strength, it would be no problem for you to sweep through half a plane. The only thing you need to pay attention to are some ancient sages. As for the others, with your strength, you can completely ignore them. Therefore, to the entire Qiankun Sect, you are their savior. Therefore, you don't need to worry about your strength being exposed and arousing their suspicions! "
When the system heard Luo Xiu's words, it couldn't help but sneer and explain in a speechless manner. At this moment, Luo Xiu's moaning for no reason was even more speechless.
"Hehe, it would be great if it were as simple as you say. Regardless of whether I admit it or not, the current Qiankun Sect really isn't of much help to me. Although Situ Lingyun and the others might be scheming against me, I am truly tired of it!
If this matter continues to fester, the entire situation of the world will obviously change. This is completely different from what I previously imagined. It will only make things worse!
In addition, conflicts break out in the entire area from time to time. If the secret hidden here is discovered by outsiders, it will be a disaster for the Qiankun Sect! "Luo Xiu wasn't as optimistic as the system and explained cautiously.
While chatting with the system, Luo Xiu flew around the entire array formation. He specially checked the energy nodes that the system had given him. Luo Xiu realized that the positions of the energy nodes seemed to overlap with the remnants of the Xuanyuan Great Array that the Qiankun Sect had left behind. Due to the existence of the Xuanyuan Great Array, these energy nodes were completely covered. The best observation field was also completely hidden by the fluctuations of the Xuanyuan Great Array.
It was no wonder that the secret of this huge spirit stone mine could be so well preserved. Although the resources of the Eldritch World were still abundant, there weren't many natural treasures left. The fact that there were more than ten natural treasures left in this spirit stone mine was enough to prove that there was a big problem.
Moreover, Luo Xiu was sure that the secret of this spirit stone mine was probably the result of the ancestors of the Qiankun Sect deliberately concealing it. As for the reason, it was probably very easy to understand. When this spirit stone mine was discovered, these natural treasures were probably still in the process of being nurtured. Now that 10,000 years had passed, some of these natural treasures were about to blossom and bear fruit. For the entire Qiankun Sect, once these natural treasures were discovered and used reasonably, these natural treasures would extend the lifespan of the Sect for 10,000 years.
Moreover, Luo Xiu believed that with these natural treasures hidden in the spirit stone mine, even if he didn't help, Situ Lingyun and the others would most likely be able to successfully break through to Sage-to-be just by taking out these natural treasures from the spirit stone mine and swallowing them whole. Of course, now that he had discovered this secret, he should repair the Xuanyuan Formation as soon as possible and completely conceal the secret here again.
However, Luo Xiu was not stupid enough to reveal this secret. Luo Xiu even suspected that the previous attack by the disciples of the Holy Church was likely to massacre the human cultivators here. This was only part of their purpose. From the traces of energy left in the blood pools in the underground mine, it could also be seen that this array had been broken. It was very likely that it had been forcefully torn apart.
These disciples of the Sacred Religion were here for these Connate Objects. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely grateful for his decisiveness. Otherwise, if these guys from the Sacred Religion really succeeded, who knew how great of a loss he would have to suffer.
"Regarding this matter, the System doesn't have any good suggestions. I'm just reminding the Host not to lose the watermelon after picking up sesame seeds. Moreover, I think that if you can really help Situ Lingyun and the others to advance to Sage-to-be, they will be able to protect the Qiankun Sect!
Moreover, if you're still worried by then, you can leave the Scarlet Spotted Sail in the Sect. In this way, you won't have to worry about external pressure and you can leave with less worry. Of course, the more important reason is that the Qiankun Sect is now a target that you must firmly protect. Only by managing the Sect well can many of your plans be realized. Moreover, after collecting information during this period of time, the System has discovered that the Qiankun Sect has great potential in the future. Although it is severely lacking in top battle strength, the number of experts in the middle and lower levels far exceeds that of the other forces. This is actually your most perfect assistant! "
In response to Luo Xiu's worries, the System straightforwardly pointed out the key points of the problem.
"Of course I understand what you're saying, but what I'm thinking about is the problem of the spirit stone mine. If I really have to give up on these things in the spirit stone mine, I'm still a little unwilling. But if you want me to spend so much time waiting for them to mature, I really don't have that much time. Hence, maintaining the stability of the Qiankun Sect's position is the most important thing. But in my current situation, I really don't have any good ideas. Let's just take it one step at a time!" Luo Xiu said helplessly.
"That's true. Don't be too pessimistic. Things haven't reached that stage yet!
Moreover, I actually don't agree with the host wasting too much time. Although this world seems to have a huge amount of cultivation resources, the martial strength of cultivators is still too strong for you. To you, you simply don't have the kind of crushing strength that you have in other worlds. Therefore, many times, you can't do things as you wish like before. This is the biggest problem you need to face! "The system seemed to understand Luo Xiu's thoughts and spoke in a somewhat comforting manner.
"We'll discuss this later. I seem to have discovered something incredible. Tsk tsk tsk. These fellows are really cunning. They hid it so well!"
After saying this, Luo Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked up at the mountain peak. He saw that there was a violent spatial fluctuation in that space. Luo Xiu couldn't help but be vigilant.
Therefore, Luo Xiu no longer hesitated. Relying on his powerful strength, he was fearless. Deep in his heart, he was even a little curious. He tapped his foot on the ground and his body flashed. He directly came to the place where the spatial fluctuation was. Light flashed in his hand. He directly used the Hand of Heaven and instantly tore apart the violently tumbling space in front of him. The moment he tore apart the space, Luo Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was because there were more than ten injured fellows hiding here. Looking at the vigilant faces of these people, Luo Xiu let out a deep breath and relaxed. This was because he recognized Xue Wuming standing in front of the crowd.
However, these people's behavior at this moment surprised Luo Xiu. Everyone looked at Luo Xiu in a daze. They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Especially Xue Wuming and the others, when they looked at Luo Xiu, who was surrounded by Qi, they didn't hide their surprise at all. More importantly, even Yuan Shuo and the others were stunned when they saw the powerful Qi that Luo Xiu revealed at this moment.
After all, the strength that Luo Xiu revealed at this moment was too terrifying. If they remembered correctly, two years ago, Luo Xiu's cultivation was only at the peak of the Gold Immortal Realm. In less than two years, Luo Xiu actually showed the powerful strength of a Sage in front of them. How could they not be shocked by such a situation?
Luo Xiu noticed that the space everyone was in seemed to be a little unstable. This was an extremely large space with a radius of about ten kilometers. Although this place was barren, it seemed to be a special space array that had opened up a place to avoid disaster. Luo Xiu did not notice any abnormalities in this place before, which should be related to the fact that the formation here was still providing energy to this space. The reason why there were such intense spatial fluctuations was probably because the Great Profound Formation had been destroyed and was unable to provide energy to this place for a long time, causing the fulcrum of this space to become unstable, which was why it was revealed to him.
Looking at the embarrassed looks of the dozen people in front of him, Luo Xiu didn't know what kind of expression he had at this moment. The two sides looked at each other awkwardly. Neither side took the initiative to break the silence. Instead, they were on guard against each other.
After all, Luo Xiu had the identity of a Xuan Ming expert, but his strange cultivation and extremely powerful aura had a great impact on these people, so they didn't dare to act rashly. In particular, Luo Xiu's shocked expression at this moment fell into their eyes. It was as if he wanted to eat them. How could they not feel a little uneasy?
Luo Xiu couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he looked at this enclosed space that was constantly shrinking. He knew that he had to think of a way to persuade these people in front of him as soon as possible. It just so happened that he had been having a headache about how to repair the Xuanyuan Formation. These guys in front of him were labor that had delivered themselves to his doorstep.
Moreover, these people had been stationed in the spirit stone mine for a long time. Their understanding of the Xuanyuan Formation was probably better than the people brought by Situ Lingyun. In this way, he could take advantage of the time when Situ Lingyun wasn't around to repair this formation. As long as he could hide the specific location of the dozen or so innate treasures, Luo Xiu could put everything else aside first.
