Chapter 1854 Spiritual Power

After a while, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang came to a cliff and looked down. They saw misty clouds, almost turbid, subtle and mysterious, and unfathomable. Even though they were on the top of this cliff, they did not feel the danger. , this is the first place in Canglong Qisu, and it is also the Taoist resort of Canglong Hall and the location of Jiaoxiu Palace.

Jiaozi Palace is divided into two parts, Qianji Pavilion and Qingfeng Valley. Qianji Pavilion is where Elder Qianji is, and Qingfeng Valley is where Elder Duanmu is. At this time, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang are visiting Qingfeng Valley, where Elder Duanmu is. There are palaces below, as if hidden in the mist.

Xiao Chen suddenly arrived at Spica Palace today. Soon, disciples came to greet him in the misty clouds. The visitors were sixteen boys and girls of similar age. Seeing that the master of Canglong Palace came to Spica Palace today, the disciples They were all very polite and invited him into the valley.

When we arrived at Qingfeng Valley, we saw luxuriant grass and clear springs in the valley. Although it was full of vitality, there were some inconspicuous places, and it was inevitable that the flowers and plants would wither.

"Master Canglong Palace, why did you come suddenly today?"

Hearing that Xiao Chen suddenly came today, seven or eight elders in the valley greeted him. In addition to these elders, there were many other young disciples. When they heard that the Master of Canglong Hall was coming, they all came to watch.

"Elder Canglong...Elder Canglong!"

The disciples of Spica Palace were very enthusiastic. They all ran up at this moment. There were also some girls hiding behind the trees and secretly looking at this one, the youngest Canglong in history.

"Is he Elder Canglong?"

"Hehe...you're not old at all."

"Is the person next to him the descendant of Canglong?"

The disciples were chattering in the distance, but here, Xiao Chen looked around and saw no sign of Elder Duanmu. He asked the elders of Qingfeng Valley in front of him, "Where is Elder Duanmu at this moment?"

"Elder Duanmu..."

After hearing that the other party was looking for Elder Duanmu, several elders had some hesitation on their faces, but they were still very polite. After a while, one of them said respectfully, "Elder Duanmu is in the inner valley, what's the matter with Master Canglong Hall?"

Today's Xiao Chen is no longer what he was when he first came to Canglong Palace. During this Eight Desolations Trial, everyone looked at him with admiration. No one in the entire Eight Desolations League dared to look down upon him anymore.

"It's okay. When I passed by just now, I noticed that the spiritual energy flow nearby was abnormal, so I came to take a look."

"That's it, Palace Master, please..."

At that moment, several elders from Qingfeng Valley took him to the inner valley. When they arrived, Elder Duanmu happened to come out. Xiao Chen looked around and saw that there was faint power of the formation here, and asked "Elder Duanmu, is the formation here different?"

"Palace Master, why are you here..."

Elder Duanmu did not expect that he would suddenly come out of the Canglong Secret Realm today. At this time, he walked forward and said, "The formation nearby is a little loose. I just... went inside to reinforce it."

"oh?"

Xiao Chen looked into the depths of the inner valley and said, "Elder Duanmu, can you take me in to have a look?"

"this……"

Elder Duanmu looked at him and asked, "Does the master of the palace... have something to do today?"

"It's okay, I just happened to be passing by and found that the spiritual power nearby was a bit unstable, so I came to take a look."

"That's...ok."

The inner valley is where the forbidden area is, and the disciples stopped there. Only Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang went in with Duanmu and the elders. When they arrived, they saw that the formation inside was still there, but there were withered grass and trees nearby. elephant.

"Elder Duanmu, what's going on?" Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back, looked at Elder Duanmu, and asked.

"this……"

Elder Duanmu looked at the scene in front of him and didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, an elder next to him said with a bitter look on his face, "Master Canglong Hall, it's not that we intentionally deceive, but...the Hall Master doesn't know something. Starting many years ago, I don’t know which year it was, the spiritual power of Canglong Realm gradually began to decline... We really can’t find the reason.”

"Spiritual power decline..."

Hua Weiyang's eyes narrowed and she looked at the valley in front of her. She had been in Canglong Palace for so long and had naturally explored it. The spiritual vein in Canglong Realm was very strong. How could the spiritual power decline for no reason?

At this moment, she couldn't help but remember that when she and Xiao Chen were in the ancient realm of Xianbei, they went to Tianling Sect to ask for "Dieffenbachia Seeds". At that time, Tianling Sect's spiritual power was declining and even in danger of drying up. That was because of Tianling Sect's spiritual power. There are cracks in the spiritual power that need to be repaired.

But now the spiritual veins in Canglong Realm are in good condition and no problems can be seen. How could the spiritual power decline? This is absolutely unjustifiable.

"It's such a big deal, but no one has ever said a word to me."

Xiao Chen looked at the people behind him, but those people did not dare to look directly at him. Only Elder Duanmu walked up at this time, looked at the bleak scene in front of him, and said, "I originally planned to do this. I'll tell the palace master after a while..."

"Forget it, I'll go back and ask Elder Liu about this." Xiao Chen walked out. There is no need to go to other places for the next few nights. It must be the same as the Heart Palace and the Spica Palace.

Returning to Canglong Peak, Xiao Chen did not find Liu San. After asking two disciples, he heard that he had gone to the "Red Leaf Valley" behind Canglong Peak early in the morning and had not returned until evening.

…

"The formation over there still needs to be stable...wait a minute, remove the formation over here and set it up again."

The maple leaves in the valley are as red as fire. In a maple forest, Liu San is instructing some disciples to set up formations. There are about three to four hundred disciples, and they are all sweating profusely from exhaustion.

"Elder Liu, I'm afraid that after removing this formation, the spiritual power will be dispersed. Otherwise, let's do it this way first..."

"No, this formation blocks the flow of spiritual power from other formations and must be removed."

"But, this... okay."

"Elder Liu, what is the formation here used for?"

Just then, Xiao Chen's voice came from outside the maple forest. Liu San was startled and turned around to see Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang walking inside.

"Palace Master, you, when did you come out..." Liu San was obviously a little surprised, and the disciples stopped immediately when they saw the Palace Master coming.

Xiao Chen walked up slowly, looked at the nearby spiritual power formation, and said, "If I don't come out, is Elder Liu planning to gather all the spiritual power of the entire Canglong Land into the Canglong Secret Realm?"

"Palace Master, you..."

Liu San's face changed slightly, and he looked around. Then he came to Xiao Chen and said in a low voice, "Palace Master, I will tell you about this slowly later..."

"Wait."

Hua Weiyang looked at the spiritual gathering formations around her and the hundreds of disciples who were sweating profusely. At this moment, her expression became extremely solemn, and she said, "The spiritual energy of the Canglong Secret Realm was condensed by you... from other places? No wonder the spiritual energy in those places is so thin..."

"This..."

For a moment, Elder Liu's face was full of bitterness. The spiritual energy of the Canglong Secret Realm was so abundant that there was no need to condense spiritual energy outside. However, since many years ago, the spiritual power of the entire Canglong Land has been declining. The current spiritual power is not enough to maintain the spiritual energy of the Canglong Secret Realm.

At this time, the disciples also came up, each with a miserable look on their faces, saying, "Palace Master, don't blame Elder Liu for not telling you about this. In the past hundred years, the Xuanwu Palace has been plundering our spiritual energy. Now there is not much spiritual energy left in Canglong Peak. Only in this way can we ensure that the spiritual energy in Canglong Secret Realm will not decline..."

"You..."

This time, Hua Weiyang finally understood why the spiritual energy in Canglong Secret Realm was always so abundant, allowing her to practice the Taigu Bahuang Jue to the Di Zi Jue in just half a year. So that's it...

It was them who took a share from every place. Part of the spiritual energy goes to the Canglong Secret Realm, so as to ensure that the spiritual energy in the Canglong Secret Realm will not decline, and ensure that she and Xiao Chen can practice in it, but the spiritual energy in other places will decline, making it impossible for them to continue to practice. Even if this continues, they will be in a state of spiritual energy deficiency for a long time, which will eventually lead to their cultivation regression...

At this moment, all the disciples lowered their heads. Xiao Chen looked at them and said after a long time, "You go back first."

"But..." A disciple raised his head and said, "There are still a few formations over there that have not been stabilized. Now..."

"Go back."

"Yes..."

Hundreds of Disciples left the Maple Leaf Valley one after another. Xiao Chen looked at Liu San motionlessly for a long time before saying, "When I first came to Canglong Palace, you told me not to care about the affairs of Xuanwu Palace and arranged for me to practice in Canglong Secret Realm. You planned to do so at that time."

"This... Alas."

Liu San wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed softly, lowered his head and remained silent. After a while, he raised his head with an unspeakable bitterness on his face. "Only in this way can the spiritual energy of the secret realm be preserved..."

Hua Weiyang said, "But other people can't practice because of me and Your Majesty, and even in the long run, There is a risk of regression in cultivation..."

"Wait, you... you just called..."

Liu San looked at her strangely, and Hua Weiyang reacted immediately, she almost let it slip, and immediately said, "What's wrong? The Palace Master is my Master, is there anything wrong with me calling him Master?"

"No, no..."

Liu San lowered his head silently again, Xiao Chen said, "Forget it, let me go back and think about this matter, anyway, these formations, remove them first."

...

That night, the entire Canglong Peak was very quiet. In the Canglong Palace, Xiao Chen sat quietly, and in his mind, he was still thinking about the situation in the Red Leaf Valley during the day.

When he first came to the Canglong Palace, he saw the disciples kneeling to Wei Yueyan, and at that moment he was indeed a little disappointed, but now, in order to keep the spiritual energy in the Canglong Secret Realm, these disciples work hard every day to condense the spiritual energy from other places into the Canglong Secret Realm through the formation, but they themselves cannot practice because of this.

"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and replenish the deficiency. The way of man is to reduce the deficiency and increase the surplus..."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Obviously, the spiritual energy in other places of Canglong Peak was insufficient, but he still took the spiritual energy for his own use, using it for him and Wei Yang to practice in the secret realm, although he was unaware of this matter from beginning to end.

Now that he knows, he must stop Elder Liu from continuing, otherwise what is the difference between him and sucking human blood?

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of light footsteps came from outside, and then Wei Yang walked in, muttering something as she walked, "The Xuanwu Palace is so abominable. In the past hundred years, it has taken away most of the spiritual power of Canglong Peak, causing the spiritual energy of Canglong Peak to decline so much now..."

When she finished speaking, she had already arrived at the palace, looked up at Xiao Chen and said, "It must be Elder Xuanwu who is behind this, but it doesn't matter, it will be over soon..."

Before she could continue, Xiao Chen interrupted her, "Wei Yang, with your spiritual awareness, how could you think that this was done by Xuanwu behind the scenes?"

"You..."

Hua Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she whispered, "So, you already know..."

In the evening this evening, she went to check the spiritual veins near Canglong Peak, and did not come back until late at night. Even Xiao Chen could detect that the spiritual veins in Canglong Realm had been tampered with, so how could she not notice it?

It's just that she was afraid that if she told it, it would only increase Xiao Chen's troubles, so she didn't tell the truth just now. She wanted to use Xuanwu Hall to cover it up for the time being, but she didn't expect that the other party had known about it for a long time.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and walked to the window sill. He looked at the night outside the window and remained silent. After a long time, he said, "Thousands of years ago, who was it that secretly controlled the spiritual pulse of Canglong Realm?" The manipulation was done, and no one noticed it for thousands of years..."

After hearing this, Hua Weiyang was also silent. To be able to hide this secret from others for thousands of years without letting the people of the Bahuang League notice it, this person's methods must be very powerful...

Now Canglong Peak's spiritual power is facing exhaustion. The disciples thought that the Xuanwu Palace had robbed the spiritual power. However, the elders could not find the reason. In the end, they could only think that the spiritual veins were naturally exhausted. The man's powerful method was able to hide his purpose from everyone. Why exactly?
