27: Empty Xianjue Mountain

Inside the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower, Long Aotian's expression was extremely grim.

The Lei Family had lost three Nascent Soul Realm Experts, and Lei Zhen had also lost an arm. He originally thought that the punishment for the Lei Family was enough and planned to let them off.

After all, provoking two Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City at once put a certain amount of pressure on Long Aotian. The Lei Family had not truly taken action against the Long Family, so a slight punishment would have resolved the conflict between the two sides.

However, he didn't expect that old man Lei Yunshan would actually want to report this matter to the Imperial Family of the Eternal Leaf Dynasty, asking the Imperial Family to gather the Five Great Cultivation Families of the Imperial City, and even involve the Cloud Palace and the Three Great Cloud Sects, to come to Immortal Severing Mountain and stir up trouble.

Damn it, if the Imperial Family and the Cloud Palace were involved, and a Mahayana Realm Expert casually arrived, could he still protect this place?

He couldn't!

Even if he upgraded the Void Formation to level six, he still couldn't protect it.

A level six Void Formation could only contend with Spirit Division Realm Experts for a bit. If a Mahayana Realm Expert came, they could shatter the Formation with just one punch.

Long Aotian believed that if Lei Yunshan really reported the situation here to the Imperial Family, the Imperial Family would absolutely send a Mahayana Realm Expert to Immortal Severing Mountain.

The Imperial Family had nearly ten Mahayana Realm Experts.

This was also why people speculated that the Imperial Family might possess a Tribulation Realm trump card, stronger than a Mahayana Realm Expert.

With so many Mahayana Realm Experts, wouldn't it be natural to have a Tribulation Realm Expert?

"Damn Lei Yunshan, you're ruining my big plans. I originally intended to let your Lei Family off, but I didn't expect your Lei Family to provoke me again and again.

Since your Lei Family is courting death, then I, your young master, will fulfill your wish in the future!"

Long Aotian gritted his teeth, hating Lei Yunshan.

If his Divine Sense hadn't been constantly released, knowing Lei Yunshan's plans after leaving Immortal Severing Mountain, once the Imperial Family's experts arrived, wouldn't he be handing over the Heaven And Earth Treasure here for nothing?

Now, after learning of Lei Yunshan's plans, he no longer had the mood to Cultivate properly.

With a thought, he exited the Treasure Pagoda and came outside the Immortal Fall Cave, frantically transplanting the Heaven And Earth Treasure from Immortal Severing Mountain into the Treasure Pagoda's spatial world.

The first, second, and third-floor spatial worlds of the Treasure Pagoda were all the same size, currently two li in radius, and still empty. There was simply too much space to store Heaven And Earth Treasure.

Long Aotian's transplanting method was also very simple and crude. As long as it was Heaven And Earth Treasure, he even stripped the nearby topsoil bare, using his Divine Sense to wrap the roots and directly bringing the soil along with them.

Because of this, under Long Aotian's transplanting, Immortal Severing Mountain quickly became riddled with pits, one large hole after another. Many areas were completely devoid of vegetation, having been entirely stripped bare.

The three layers, each with a spatial world two li in radius, were completely filled with Heaven And Earth Treasure that Immortal Severing Mountain had nurtured for thousands of years, so much that the three spatial worlds couldn't hold it all.

However, after fully stripping bare the three spatial worlds, over ninety percent of Immortal Severing Mountain's Heaven And Earth Treasure had essentially been plundered by Long Aotian.

Although there was a lot of Heaven And Earth Treasure in Immortal Severing Mountain, it wasn't everywhere. The Heaven And Earth Treasure was mainly concentrated within a ten-li radius centered around the Immortal Fall Cave, which was the core area.

The small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain was also mainly concentrated in this core area.

Under the nurturing of abundant Spiritual Qi, the Heaven And Earth Treasure in this area was not only plentiful but also uniformly high-grade and valuable.

For the Heaven And Earth Treasure in the core area, Long Aotian almost stripped it bare in large patches, transplanting it with roots and soil.

The remaining less than ten percent were basically Heaven And Earth Treasure from the outer periphery, very common and not very high-grade.

But even so, Long Aotian still didn't let them go.

The three usable spatial worlds of the Treasure Pagoda were now full, but didn't he still have an Immortal Lord's storage ring with a radius of thirteen thousand li?

How much Heaven And Earth Treasure couldn't fit?

He plundered all the Spirit Medicine that couldn't be transplanted. Wouldn't it be great if he could sell them to a Pill Pavilion later or use them himself when learning Alchemy?

Therefore, on Immortal Severing Mountain, Long Aotian plundered every single Spirit Medicine that could sell for at least one Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

After he had plundered the entire hundred-li radius of Immortal Severing Mountain, it looked as if it had experienced a level twenty hurricane, leaving behind a scene of unbearable devastation.

After plundering the Heaven And Earth Treasure on the surface, Long Aotian immediately began to frantically mine the small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath the ground.

Ordinary Spirit Stone miners were usually commoners who couldn't Cultivate, because if cultivators were allowed to mine, they might embezzle and secretly use Spirit Stones to Cultivate during the mining process.

Long Aotian personally entered the mine, directly using his Divine Sense for reconnaissance combined with Spirit Power attacks, precisely and quickly mining. His efficiency was comparable to hundreds, even nearly a thousand, ordinary miners.

A continuous stream of Top-Grade Spirit Stones was frantically extracted by him and stored in the Immortal Lord's storage ring.

One day, two days, three days... ten days, day and night, the small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain was essentially completely mined out by Long Aotian.

There were hundreds of thousands, even millions, of standard Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

In addition, there were also small mountains of Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Long Aotian didn't extract them one by one but directly chiseled out entire piles of small Top-Grade Spirit Stone mountains and put them into his storage ring.

There were nearly ten thousand small Top-Grade Spirit Stone mountains five meters in radius, over a thousand small Top-Grade Spirit Stone mountains ten meters in radius, and over a hundred small Top-Grade Spirit Stone mountains dozens of meters in radius.

It was precisely because Long Aotian frantically and precisely mined in large, mountain-like patches, day and night, that the small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain was completely mined out by Long Aotian in just ten days.

Of course, there was another reason: the Spirit Stones in this small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein were relatively clustered, concentrated in a very small space underground, making them easier to mine.

In general Spirit Stone veins, the Spirit Stones are very dispersed, scattered in piles over hundreds of li, making them more difficult to mine.

The Spirit Stones in the small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain were basically concentrated within a ten-li radius near the Immortal Fall Cave, very concentrated. Perhaps this was also the fundamental reason why Ao Zhan chose to hide in Immortal Severing Mountain?

After all, there was definitely more than just this one Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain in the Sky Ruins Continent. There were also definitely not a few Top-Grade Spirit Stone veins larger than this small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain, yet Ao Zhan chose this one beneath Immortal Severing Mountain.

Aside from the fact that the Spirit Stones in this small Top-Grade Spirit Stone vein beneath Immortal Severing Mountain were relatively concentrated, Long Aotian really couldn't think of any other reason why Ao Zhan chose to hide in Immortal Severing Mountain...
