Chapter 669: Breaking the Formation
The following day, the sea of clouds churned above the Xuanzhao Terrace. Chen Qing called the Golden Feather Eagle forward and shot off through the air toward the Hall of Merit.
The Hall of Merit was located in the core zone of the Jingyang Blessed Land. This was the first time Chen Qing had set foot here.
The moment he entered the core, the density of heaven and earth elemental qi surged sharply upward, several times richer still than the inner circle.
Chen Qing's gaze swept over the surroundings. In the embrace of mountains on all sides, a towering peak rose from the earth. That was the main peak at the very center of the entire blessed land.
The peak was enveloped throughout in a faint pale blue-white halo of light, and the mountain's surface was covered in dense rows of ancient inscriptions, each one slowly flowing and radiating a surging, abyss-deep resonance.
At the peak's summit, a torrent of qi more than a hundred zhang across shot straight up into the sky.
That torrent carried a bizarre seven-colored hue, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet intertwining and coiling around each other like a divine ribbon stretching from earth to sky, slowly revolving in the void.
Wherever that torrent passed, space itself subtly distorted. The clouds were churned into an enormous vortex, and at the vortex's center, faint flashes of lightning were dimly visible.
This was the spirit vein of the Jingyang Blessed Land, the foundation on which the entire blessed land rested, and the most fundamental reason the Jingyang Palace had gathered sixteen Dao traditions here.
