Chapter 985 - Retrieving the Spiritual Vein
The sudden appearance of the Heaven-Curtaining Red Luan cast a heavy shadow over everyone's hearts. They didn't fear the destruction of the sacred ground itself but feared not making it out alive. If the sacred ground collapsed, they would perish along with it.
Lu Liang pulled out his compass and immediately sent a message to Ruan Ying, urging her to return quickly to the surface.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted in the underground world. Many cultivators stood by the side, waiting to snatch spirit stones the moment someone excavated them, which sparked several bloody incidents.
In minutes, Qiao Bian had collected over ten thousand spirit stones, and Liu Wuxie was stunned by this scene.
Luan Tianzhi and the others weren't slow either, and they had each gathered five to six hundred. Even so, they still lagged behind Qiao Bian.
Thousands of cultivators had excavated part of the spiritual vein, but more than half was left untouched.
"Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, can you swallow the entire spiritual vein?" Liu Wuxie muttered as a wild idea began to take shape in his mind.
He planned to take the entire spiritual vein—keeping some supreme-grade spirit stones for himself and burying the rest in the desolate world to nourish it. Even Liu Wuxie didn't expect himself to come up with such a wild idea.
A low hum came from the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron as a response.
"Good. Let's do this," Liu Wuxie decided to go with the insane idea.
With a deafening rumble, a terrifying vortex appeared in the underground world, alarming everyone. As Liu Wuxie began forming seals with his hands, a powerful suction force surged out, causing the entire underground world to creak and crack.
