Chapter 3701: Three Hundred Million Kilometres of Spiritual Qi
“T-that’s the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens?”
The new disciples did not recognise the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, but some of the old disciples were extremely familiar with them. Immediately, they recognised the mountains and cried out in surprise.
“That’s right, they are the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, and it’s not just one, but a total of three.”
“It’s said that our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens possessed a total of eighteen Energy-gathering Divine Mountains. When we left the sect, we didn’t take that one with us, yet three have appeared here. Don’t tell me the sect master has found the lost Energy-gathering Divine Mountains?”
“Hmm? Look, isn’t that the sect master between the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains?”
Many disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens discussed the matter among themselves below, but they gasped when they noticed Jian Chen sitting between the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains. They felt that the situation was suspicious.
“It does look like the sect master, but his presence is slightly off. The sect master has only just reached Immortal Monarch recently, so why is his presence so tremendous?”
“That’s no presence of an Immortal Monarch. I think even Immortal Emperors don’t necessarily have such tremendous pressure.”
“That looks like an Immortal Emperor? Do you think he actually is the sect master?”
……
…
The core disciples gathered down below glanced at one another. They were filled with doubts.
Jian Chen sat in the air sternly. He said to the empty space there, “I am about to activate the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains. There are far too many low-level disciples in the sect. They won’t be able to bear the pressure of high quality god artifacts, so be prepared to isolate this space, artifact spirit.”
“Yes, master!” the Primeval artifact spirit answered. In the next moment, the space inside the Primeval Divine Hall rippled. At that moment, the space had already been severed like it had been split into two separate worlds.
None of the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could sense the pressure of high quality god artifacts anymore, but they could still clearly see what was going on above.
Without any qualms, Jian Chen no longer hesitated. He produced a series of seals with his hands and energy began channelling into the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.
At that instant, the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains shone brightly as if they had been awakened from their slumber. The pressure of high quality god artifacts permeated the sky.
At this moment, the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains seemed like three glowing suns. They were extremely resplendent, illuminating the entire space. Many of the disciples down below were unable to stare at them directly.
Jian Chen controlled the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains according to the method passed down through the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He constantly varied the seals he formed with his hands, sending imprints into the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.
These imprints were the true method to controlling some of the core functions of the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains. Only they could unlock the true power of the mountains.
The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants did not possess the corresponding secret technique, so they were forced to use the three Skyfire Volcanoes as energy sources. They powered the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains after a series of arrangements.
But right now, the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains formed a formation with one another under Jian Chen’s control. An obscure connection formed between the three mountains. As a result, not only did they share their energy, but they could also absorb the spiritual Qi around them to maintain their function.
It took several days before Jian Chen finally completed the formation of the three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.
The moment the formation was completed, an invisible suction force seemed to spread out from the mountains. The suction force impacted the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens below, which made its spiritual Qi decrease at an unbelievable rate.
The Energy-gathering Divine Mountains were furiously devouring the surging spiritual Qi and energy in the spiritual veins throughout the entire sect. Rapidly white, thumb-sized beads condensed between the three mountains.
Each white bead had been formed from spiritual Qi after reaching a certain density. Their quality was so high that even supreme grade immortal crystals paled in comparison.
The white beads took shape one after another. The rate they gathered spiritual Qi left even Jian Chen astounded.
But at the same time, the spiritual Qi in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens rapidly plummeted. All of it was being drained by the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains.
“I’ve got it wrong!” Jian Chen slapped his forehead and quickly produced some more seals, controlling the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains with the secret technique.
Immediately, the rapidly-flowing spiritual Qi in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens stopped. The white beads condensed by the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains turned back into tremendous energy that returned to the surroundings.
At the same time, the Primeval Divine Hall also experienced some small changes. Under the artifact spirit’s control, the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains’ function to absorb spiritual Qi directly penetrated the divine hall, extending into the space outside.
In the vast sea of stars, tremendous amounts of spiritual Qi gathered from all directions. The Primeval Divine Hall seemed to reside within a colossal swirl of spiritual Qi, furiously devouring all of the spiritual Qi in the surroundings.
Seventy percent of the spiritual Qi absorbed by the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains was allocated to the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, nourishing millions of heavenly resources and providing for the disciples of the sect. This distribution lightened the burden on the spiritual veins.
Only the remaining thirty percent went to the Primeval Divine Hall.
“The three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains can actually gather all the spiritual Qi within three hundred million kilometres!” Jian Chen sensed the situation from the Primeval Divine Hall and nodded in satisfaction.
The Energy-gathering Divine Mountain left in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could absorb all the spiritual Qi within ten million kilometres once activated.
Now that he had assembled three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains into a formation, their effective range was not simply additive. Instead, the effects compounded, reaching three hundred million kilometres.
“If I assemble all eighteen Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, the range will probably surpass ten billion kilometres.” Jian Chen struggled to imagine just how grand of a sight that would be. He only knew that if he assembled the eighteen Energy-gathering Divine Mountains, the sect would no longer require a single spiritual vein. As long as he had the formation, both spiritual veins and immortal crystals would be produced in endless supply.
Jian Chen formed another seal. The three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains in the air began to revolve slowly. A pitch-black hole thirty metres across appeared between the three mountains.
The black hole did not have any devouring capability. Instead, spiritual Qi surged out of it endlessly.
When the black hole appeared, the spiritual Qi outside the Primeval Divine Hall stopped gathering over.
This was another function of the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains. They could project their energy-gathering function into the sea of stars. The endless spiritual Qi could cross an immeasurable distance and emerge from the black hole before him.
In other words, Jian Chen could directly absorb the spiritual Qi of other heavens through the Energy-gathering Divine Mountains when he resided on the Reverent Observance Heaven.
Of course, he would have to assemble all eighteen Energy-gathering Divine Mountains to accomplish that.
The formation assembled from three Energy-gathering Divine Mountains had nowhere near as great of a range.
