Chapter 204: Borrowing Some Experience
Yun Jiao was taken aback. Following the direction Tang Chen was pointing, she looked over—and saw a burst of five-colored light flash across her vision, accompanied by crackling, sizzling sounds.
Not far ahead, several thin, serpentine strands coiled across the stone wall. They looked neither like lightning nor vines—something between the two—and they writhed as if alive, tangling and slamming repeatedly upward against the formation barrier, only to be forced back down each time, releasing bursts of strange noises and multicolored glows.
From that direction, a violent, indescribable aura of rage surged endlessly outward.
“This is…”
“Spiritual veins,” Night Abyss said suddenly.
Not just Yun Jiao—even the three soul bodies were completely stunned. Those glowing, twisting tendrils were actually spiritual veins?! No wonder the spiritual energy here was so thick and why the area teemed with spiritual plants. Judging by the number of those glowing strands, there were at least four or five veins trapped here!
That flood dragon was far too greedy—it had actually bound four or five spiritual veins in one place!
Spiritual veins weren’t things that appeared easily. It could take tens of thousands—if not millions—of years for one to form, and buried deep underground, they released a steady stream of spiritual energy. Most mystical sects built their temples directly above them so their disciples could cultivate twice as effectively with half the effort.
Almost no one ever tried to dig out and consume spiritual veins. First, their energy was too pure and overwhelming; second, the act itself was utterly wasteful. Only someone completely deranged would attempt it. Yet here, four or five had been trapped.
