Chapter 136 The Power of the Earth's Eye
1000...
7000...
14373...
The data for Immortal Source Points is soaring!
The 30,000 catties of immortal essence, including the exotic essence he had cut out, contained an ocean of essence energy.
As he absorbed the energy, he also rapidly channeled it into the Great Dao True Eye Technique.
His eyes were tightly closed, but various lights kept shining through his eyelids, as if countless starlight were twinkling and intertwining in his eyeballs beneath his eyelids...
In reality, even though his eyes were closed, countless lights and shadows flashed before his eyes.
He seemed to see a speck of dust explode and form a vast and boundless universe. He saw stars in the universe come into existence from nothing, and he saw the ever-changing world above the stars!
The slow rise and formation of a mountain range, the nurturing and birth of a surge of earth energy, the connection and interweaving of mountains, rivers and lakes... At this moment, countless insights flashed through Li Lan's mind. In just a moment, his understanding had already undergone a completely new change.
The interconnected land is like a chessboard, with crisscrossing mountains and rivers resembling grand formations. The origins and development of these formations are fully understood, allowing one to perceive the variability of geography and discern the origins of acupoints and burial sites.
"Is this the secret of the Earth's Eye?"
His Great Dao True Eye realm has already leaped from the Dharma Eye to the Earth Eye!
He slowly opened his eyes, and in that instant, he felt a resonance and harmony with the entire Northern Emperor City. He seemed to hear a stream flowing through the entire Northern Emperor City, passing through major cities such as the Sun Moon Sect, the Sword Sect, and the Li Clan. When it passed the Li Clan, something seemed to obstruct it, and the river water became icy cold before continuing onward...
He instantly understood that this was the most important ley line in the Northern Emperor City, upon which all the major powers were established.
Besides this main vein, he also sensed many crisscrossing earth energies, complex and diverse, converging from all directions and flowing through a long-abandoned ruin...
Ancient legends say that a peerless cultivator once attained enlightenment and became an emperor in this place in ancient times. It seems that this legend is not unfounded. From Li Lan's perspective now, these crisscrossing energies look like they were forcibly plundered from other places.
Millions of years have passed, and the name of that powerful figure known as the Northern Emperor has vanished into the annals of time, but the traces he left behind continue to benefit this great city.
He also sensed that every raw stone market on the main street was built at a point where the earth's veins converged, which could nourish the raw stones. Clearly, the major powers had carefully considered their site selection and had received guidance from experts.
"Hmm? Someone's tampering with it?"
Suddenly, Li Lan noticed some subtle changes. On the earth veins of the original stone market street, someone was clearly guiding it in secret, seemingly constructing a large array.
At this moment, his Earth Eye is newly formed and is extremely sharp; otherwise, even if he were on the main street of the Yuanshichang during the day, he would not have noticed!
“By harnessing the power of the earth’s veins, once activated, it can seal off the entire street… The method is insidious and ruthless, unlike the lineage of the Ancient Source Masters.”
Li Lan whispered that the person who set up the formation was clearly using Origin Dao techniques, and they were extremely sophisticated, far surpassing those of Xue Lianyuan, Gu Shengtian, and others.
I've heard that there's an old Blood Master in the Bloodline who hasn't made a move yet. Could it be him?
"Is this an inescapable trap prepared for the Divine Source?"
He couldn't help but sneer. The Li family and others had vowed to wage a stone gambling war against the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect to determine the winner, but they had secretly made many moves!
First, they had the Bloodline lineage search their own mines, then they secretly set up a large array...
"It seems that the Primordial Divine Source is most likely located in the mines of the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect..."
Li Lan pondered that the Bloodline had already investigated the Li family's mines, and the Zhu family, Qin family, and other forces had likely done the same.
It was precisely because they couldn't find it that they engaged in a stone gambling war with the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect.
"We must be wary, otherwise even if I eventually find the Primordial Divine Source, there is still a risk that this formation will take it away."
Li Lan pondered, but he wasn't too worried. If he only possessed the Dharma Eye realm, he wouldn't be able to see through the enemy's plans and would be caught off guard.
Now... he can sense the earth's veins, and every arrangement the enemy makes that is related to the earth's veins cannot escape his perception.
"The Earth Eye... is truly too powerful."
Li Lan couldn't help but sigh again.
This even transcends the level of eye techniques; he seems to have become one with the earth.
"How wondrous must the Heavenly Eye be?"
Spiritual Eye, Dharma Eye, Earth Eye, Heaven Eye, Dao Eye!
However, it would be extremely difficult to advance to the Heavenly Eye realm in the short term.
One reason is that he doesn't have enough immortal energy. Just entering the Earth Eye consumed more than 25,000 catties of immortal energy.
It should be noted that the number of people who go from spiritual eyes to Dharma eyes is only a few thousand.
The growth rate is terrifying.
Secondly, there's the limitation of his cultivation level. He had only just activated his Earth Eye, and he already felt inexplicably exhausted, indicating that his eye technique was extremely depleted.
In fact, there are similar classifications among Source Masters, such as Source Mage and Source Earth Master. They also have the concept of Source Earth Eye, but it is extremely dependent on their realm. For example, a Source Earth Master can only be cultivated and maintained by at least a "Transcendent One" Mystic Immortal.
Three-Flower True Immortal, Escape-One Mysterious Immortal, Carefree Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Hunyuan Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal!
Once one enters the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, one can be called a great power; Hunyuan Golden Immortal has another name – Immortal Saint!
The strongest among the Primordial Golden Immortals, who have touched the edge of the Great Luo realm, are called Great Saints, while Great Luo Golden Immortals are considered supreme!
Immortal Venerable!
As for the Immortal Emperor... only those Immortal Venerables who are in harmony with the Heavenly Heart Mark and have entered the Primordial Chaos can be called this title.
Li Lan's Earth Eye far surpasses that of the Origin Earth Master, but his cultivation level isn't even that of an Immortal yet; being able to use it is already a stroke of luck.
"There are still several thousand kilograms of immortal essence left..."
Li Lan infused it into the three methods that Mingzun had passed down to him!
The Heaven-Splitting Technique, Earth-Standing Technique, and Sun, Moon, and Stars Technique are all extremely superior combat techniques. Previously, due to limited resources, he had never had the opportunity to cultivate and improve them.
The immortal energy points provided by the several thousand catties of immortal energy were also considerable. At this moment, they were all poured into the Sun, Moon and Stars Technique. He immediately seemed to see the evolution of thousands of stars, and various insights emerged in his mind.
His panel then changed:
Name: Li Lan
Realm: Harmony with the Dao
Cultivation Techniques: True Dragon Technique (Dao Integration), Great Dao True Eye Technique (Earth Eye), Sky-Splitting Technique (Not yet learned), Earth-Standing Technique (Not yet learned), Sun, Moon and Stars Technique (Minor Success)...
Xianyuan: 0
All used up!
"As expected of the creation of the Venerable One!"
Li Lan sighed. Although the Sun, Moon and Stars Technique was a combat method, it contained a lot of the essence of the Great Dao, insights, and so on. It could be cultivated as a mental cultivation method.
When one reaches the final stage of mastery, their attack will unleash a spectacular phenomenon of countless stars filling the sky, demonstrating their immense power.
Being able to perform "Lone Star Hanging in the Night" is the entry level, "Seven Stars Gathering" is the minor achievement, "The Four Directions Shine" is the major achievement, and "Ten Thousand Stars Rising and Falling" is the perfection!
Although Li Lan's True Dragon Technique is very powerful and contains many combat skills, it cannot be used easily and is often hampered in battle. Now that he has the Sun, Moon and Stars Technique, it is much more convenient.
After all, the methods of the Bright Venerable have never disappeared in the Immortal Realm. For example, the Sun Moon Sect still preserves the legacy left behind by the Great Sage Luo Tian in the past.
……
The next day.
Today, the mining street is packed with people and incredibly crowded!
"The final strike!"
"Which is stronger, luck or strength? Can Zhan Yiyuan defeat the Blood Origin lineage?"
"I've placed my bet! Blood Refining Source has the highest odds of winning..."
The city was bustling with activity. Some people even set up betting games to see who would win between Li Lan and Xue Lianyuan, and many people participated!
"The leader of the Sun Moon Sect has arrived!"
Leaders of various factions appeared one after another, the first to show up being Luo Yan, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect.
She wore a moon-white long dress, dignified and elegant, radiant and beautiful, with a stunningly beautiful face and an aura of authority. The Grand Elder Changsun Jiuye, Cao Yueshu, Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and the Holy Maiden Yu Linglong, among others, followed behind her.
"The leader of the Luo Yan sect has actually come in person."
"This battle is truly of great importance."
"Has she not appeared in the world for many years?"
This has sparked a lot of discussion.
"The Sword Immortal, a powerful figure from the Sword Sect, has arrived!"
People from the Sword Sect also arrived, and a great swordsman made a personal appearance. However, his appearance was different from that of other forces. The Broken Sword Immortal was dressed in plain clothes, looked disheveled, had gray hair, a large wine gourd hanging at his waist, and a broken sword on his back. He did not look like a great immortal at all, but rather like a down-on-his-luck swordsman in the secular martial arts world.
The wooden sword immortal followed behind him.
Only these two!
"The Li, Zhu, and Qin families have arrived!"
The Li family has also arrived, and today's leader is also a great man—Li Cangwu!
Li Daoling, Fairy Lanxia, Zhu Donglai, and others followed behind him. The powerful figures from the Qin and Zhu families were not present, but everyone knew that if anything happened, the powerful figures from these two major forces would definitely arrive immediately.
After all, each of the major powers has a powerful figure in charge of the Northern Emperor City!
"May I ask which member of your sect will be representing you today?"
Li Daoling asked the question calmly.
"Of course it's Young Master Zhan!"
Cao Yueshu walked to a carriage, lifted the curtain, and said, "Young Master Zhan, please!"
Li Lan then walked out from there.
"Heh, someone who relies on external tools actually represents the Sun Moon Sect and the Sword Sect in the Source Technique competition..."
Li Daoling sneered, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.
Thinking about what happened yesterday, he felt like tearing Li Lan apart.
"With such a foul mouth, it seems you enjoyed the rare treasure I left behind from that rough stone yesterday?"
Li Lan smiled leisurely.
"you!"
Anger flashed in Li Daoling's eyes!
"All right!"
Li Cangwu spoke up, saying, "Now that everyone is here, it's time to begin."
Blood Refining Source immediately stepped out from behind him.
"A limited number of mine areas will be open to the public today. Gentlemen, please—"
Cao Yueshu spoke!
Li Lan and Xue Lianyuan took the lead, with the others following closely behind.
The major mining areas of various powerful forces are generally off-limits to the general public. On ordinary days, only the most seasoned gamblers and celebrities from these forces have the opportunity to enter.
The entrance fee alone requires 500 catties of immortal essence.
Compared to the Huang and Xuan mining areas, this place has a stronger earth vein energy. A stream meanders through it, and the mining area is like a garden, with raw stones of various shapes and sizes scattered throughout, each one with its own unique characteristics.
Even the cheapest raw stones are worth two to three hundred catties of immortal essence, with the average price approaching a thousand catties!
A thousand catties of immortal essence are needed to exchange for one raw stone, which is an astronomical price.
"Rough stones outside the red line can be selected, but those inside cannot."
Cao Yueshu spoke up, explaining that the area within the red line could potentially disturb the Primordial Divine Source if alerted, while the area outside the red line was safe.
There are only a dozen or so raw stones around the entire red line, all distributed on the outer side of the garden.
Have you ever heard the saying?
Xue Lianyuan looked at the mining area in front of him, smiled slightly, and looked at Li Lan.
"what?"
"Luck cannot override cause and effect!"
After finishing his explanation, Blood Refining Source stepped into it.
Li Lan calmly followed him inside.
But it is at this very moment—
A dark cloud suddenly drifted over from above Li Lan's head and obscured him.
At this moment, the sun was shining brightly, and the entire garden was bathed in golden light. Only Li Lan was in the shadows, and within these shadows, there seemed to be some mysterious and unpredictable aura flowing...
Li Lan seemed to be shrouded in something indescribable!
"what is this?"
"Does Blood Refining Source use Source Techniques to attack alien sources?"
"How peculiar!"
Almost none of the people in the room had ever seen such a scene before.
"Reversal of cause and effect?!"
Elder Changsun Jiuye of the Sun Moon Sect exclaimed, “This is bad! He’s being targeted by a master from the Heavenly Mystery Sect who wants to break his luck… His Heavenly Mystery Coins are probably useless now!”
These words shocked everyone present!
