Chapter 75: Reentry


    "The current Flood Spirit has not yet ended. So far, Sweetwater Oasis will have at least five or six more spiritual energy nodes."


    "When the Flood Spirit ends, there will be even more spiritual energy nodes appearing in the oasis."


    "After these newly appeared spiritual energy nodes connect with the existing ones, they will form a new spirit vein."


    Based on his observations, Meng Zhang made his judgment.


    "It will take about three to five years for the new spirit vein to form within the oasis."


    Meng Zhang''s words delighted everyone present. The appearance of a spirit vein on Sweetwater Oasis meant a significant improvement in the entire oasis''s environment. Not only would the spiritual energy be more abundant, but the oasis itself would also expand greatly. In the future, Sweetwater Oasis would be able to amodate more cultivators and mortals, which was equivalent to gaining an additional sect entrance for the Taiyi Sect.


    As instructed by Meng Zhang, the news about the Sweetwater Oasis Flood Spirit should be kept as confidential as possible. First, to prevent anyone coveting this new spirit vein. Second, to prevent enemies from secretly sabotaging and hindering the formation of the new spirit vein.


    After giving the instructions, Meng Zhang hurriedly returned to Taiyi Sect with Tian Zhen.


    Upon returning to Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang ced the Fifth Earth Essence he had obtained into the underground spirit eye in the Sect Master''s quiet room. Then, without much conversation with Daoist Clear Spirit, he left Taiyi Sect alone. Riding on the wind chasing horse, Meng Zhang''s destination this time was Singing Sand City.


    Upon reaching Singing Sand City, Meng Zhang went to the Flying Swan Building and purchased a First Rank Formation called "Earth Wood Illusion Array." This Base Formation had rtively weak power, but it had the ability to seal spiritual energy and gather spiritual energy. Moreover, it could use the power of earth and wood to generate illusions, concealing various situations within the area covered by the Formation.


    After purchasing the formation, Meng Zhang did not stay in Singing Sand City but immediately returned to Sweetwater Oasis. Although Meng Zhang had acquired a lot of knowledge about formations in the Trial Ground, this was his first time actually setting up a Formation. Fortunately, the Earth Wood Illusion Array was a low-level Formation, making its deployment rtively simple. Additionally, the shop owner also provided a formation manual when Meng Zhang made the purchase, which contained detailed information about the Formation, including specific deployment methods.


    After reading the manual and studying the actual Formation, Meng Zhang roamed around Sweetwater Oasis to determine the specific positions before starting to set up the formation disk and ce the formation gs. The most crucial aspects of this Formation were the formation disk and formation gs. As long as the positions were correct, there would be no other issues.


    Meng Zhang''s first attempt at activating the formation failed, but after adjusting the positions, the formation sessfully activated. Once the Earth Wood Illusion Array was activated, its power enveloped almost the entire Sweetwater Oasis. Meng Zhang entrusted the control of the central formation disk to Li Baofu, who would be responsible for managing the entire Formation on a daily basis. Simrly, the First Rank Formation required a significant amount of spiritual energy. Until the spirit vein in Sweetwater Oasis fully formed, relying solely on a few spiritual energy nodes wouldn''t suffice to meet the consumption.


    With no other choice, Meng Zhang took out many low-grade spirit stones from Taiyi Sect''s treasury and ced them in the Formation in advance. Luckily, because of the great merits Meng Zhang earned when being summoned by Twin Sess Valley, Taiyi Sect was exempted from supplying offerings for three years. Otherwise, continuously consuming low-grade spirit stones to supply the Formation for 35 years would have been a considerable burden for Taiyi Sect.


    The Earth Wood Illusion Array not only concealed the situation within Sweetwater Oasis and blocked outsiders'' prying eyes but also gathered spiritual energy, which could elerate the formation of the new spirit vein. By sealing the spiritual energy, it prevented any waste due to energy leakage.


    After dealing with matters in Sweetwater Oasis, Meng Zhang returned to Taiyi Sect. During this trip, Meng Zhang encountered some dangers, especially when facing the Foundation Building stage cultivator Xiao Shenqiang. If it weren''t for the effectiveness of the Cold Poison Yin Thunder, Meng Zhang might not have escaped unscathed. With lingering fear, he rested in Taiyi Sect for a few days topletely calm his mind.


    At night, Meng Zhang''s Divine Soul left his body and took out the spirit tool "Concealment Gauze Cloth," which had been hidden using Soul techniques. After refining the Concealment Gauze Cloth with his Soul, Meng Zhang''s Soul could freely use this spirit tool. Once familiar with the use and understanding of its functions, Meng Zhang prepared to enter the Trial Ground again. He had already traversed almost the entire Trial Ground, except for that mysterious gorge, which he still had no confidence in entering.


    Fortunately, with the Concealment Gauze Cloth, Meng Zhang did not need to force his way in directly. One night, afterpleting the ritual, Meng Zhang''s Soul entered the Trial Ground again. This time, Meng Zhang did not waste time and directly put on the Concealment Gauze Cloth, stealthily approaching the mysterious gorge from outside. Based onst night''s experience, Meng Zhang sessfully bypassed the guarding yin soldiers at the gorge''s entrance and entered the gorge. Whether it was the yin soldiers guarding the entrance or the archers lurking around the surrounding hills, none of them detected Meng Zhang''s presence. Even the patrolling yin soldiers, as long as Meng Zhang did not run into them, remained oblivious to his existence. As a floating Soul, there was naturally no trace of footprints to be left behind. With the Soulpletely concealed, Meng Zhang quietly delved deeper into the gorge.[Read at /maxnkoga , without ads and support the work.]
