Chapter 245: Chapter 106: Earth Vein Dragon Qi (4/3, Vote for Monthly Tickets!)

The Divine Weapon Kanming Bell of the Earth Veins was forged from the Earth Vein Copper Mother selected from Yuanwu Mountain by Da Chen at Forge God Peak.

Since copper is the source of all currency in the mortal realm and also a material for many vessels and weapons, it is the best material to bear both the mortal aura and the energy of the Earth Pulse. Its four walls carry Dao Pattern Talisman Scripts and the scenes of the mortal world, while the inner wall is painted with Kanming’s delineation of the Earth Veins’ directions, serving as the central nerve for the defense of a territory.

Even without activation, the Kanming Bell acts like a heart, continuously siphoning Earth Pulse Energy from all directions. Then, with a series of consistent low hums, it spews forth the surging Earth Pulse Energy once more, refining it to an even purer and more condensed state.

And as the heart of a territorial Earth Vein Great Formation, in the process of ingesting and refining Earth Pulse Energy, and nourishing this piece of Heaven and Earth, the Kanming Bell is also constantly refining itself, elevating its fundamental quality.

The entire Earth Vein with Kanming City at its center pulsates like a living being with the ingestion and vibration of the Divine Weapon, as if the entire Earth Vein has come to life.

"Is this... an Earth Vein protected by a Divine Weapon?"

This was An Jing’s first time at the heart of a Great Earth Vein Formation, and also his first time within the core of a Divine Repository level Formation.

Upon entering, he immediately collaborated with Sword Spirit to imprint everything in his memory, waiting for the day he could replicate it in a Jade Slip and share these insights with Huo Qing and others: "We can’t waste it! We must make use of everything!"

Even though An Jing had not studied Formation Arts, he could keenly sense the difference between an Earth Vein protected by a Divine Weapon and one without such protection.

While the energy of the latter type of Earth Vein does circulate, it moves extremely slowly. If one were to plant Spiritual Objects in a place without the protection of a Great Formation and Divine Weapon, it’s likely that these plants would absorb Spirit Qi and Earth Pulse Energy faster than it could naturally replenish.

This would lead to the depletion of the Earth Pulse Energy, and once the Spiritual Objects matured, the area might become barren land, needing dozens or even hundreds of years to recover.

For Heaven and Earth, a hundred years is but a moment.

For humans, a hundred years is a lifetime.

If there is a Divine Weapon of the Earth Vein to assist and adjust, even if one plants Spirit Objects that consume a significant amount of Earth Pulse Energy, the overseer could still channel surrounding Spirit Qi to nourish them. Although it also expends a great deal of energy, it wouldn’t exhaust all the power of the area, and the coordination for recovery would be much faster.

Moreover, the Earth Vein Formation, with the growth of the Spiritual Objects, would generate even more vital energy, spawning many ordinary plants to assist in their maturity and form a complete ecological cycle.

In this way, even if Spiritual Objects are planted year after year, it would not cause the depletion of Earth Pulse Energy, with productive capacity increasing by more than tenfold or a hundredfold! —— With an Earth Vein Formation, do we even need fertilizers?

The first thought that flashed through An Jing’s mind was this somewhat peculiar idea, but he quickly shook his head.

Fertilizers can indeed enrich the land, but after all, the Embracing the Void realm is a world with extraordinary powers.

What fertilizers can do, Earth Pulse Energy itself can also achieve, and fertilizers may not necessarily be able to nurture Spiritual Plants or Spiritual Objects.

"Young Hero Jing, please wait, I’m granting you access," said Zheng Mo, fully focused as he operated the Great Seal, making various Earth Vein Runes rotate and converge to form a talisman — it was at this moment that An Jing’s eyes shone with a silver radiance, discreetly surveying his surroundings.

He covertly used his Sword Spirit’s Vision, sensing the details of this Earth Vein Great Formation with even greater precision and subtlety.

And indeed, he saw in the vast, mighty network of the Array Plate, which seemed like the bloodstream of the land, there flowed strands upon strands of an extraordinarily heavy and majestic aura, the color of Mysterious Gold.

This aura permeated all channels to varying extents. When An Jing saw them, he even had an illusion... the true protagonist of the entire Earth Vein Great Formation was not the Divine Weapon or the Earth Pulse Energy, but these strange auras.

What was that?

No need for anyone else’s answer, for in An Jing’s Divine Sea, a trace of Emperor’s Blood from Ruohui trembled slightly.

The answer was already clear.

Dragon Qi.

That was, indeed, Dragon Qi!

With eyes wide open, An Jing relied on the brief affinity brought by the Emperor’s Blood to discern the true essence of that wisp of mysterious golden Qi.

——The collective will of the people, the nurturing Qi giving rise to all spirits!

——Aligned with the Heavenly Sea, the vast expanse of clear Qi from the Nine Heavens!

——The mountains and rivers, the Qi borne by the Eight Desolates!

Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, the Triple Qi Unification... This is the essence of the Imperial Court Royal Dragon Qi!

And the center where the Dragon Qi gathers...

An Jing shifted his gaze to the Great Seal in Zheng Mo’s hand, as well as to the Divine Weapon.

Dragon Qi is stored in the Earth Vein, but it is also involved in the sanctification of the Great Seal and Divine Weapon—it’s no wonder that the longer a region has been under the Imperial Court’s rule, the stronger its guardian Divine Weapons and officials’ Great Seals become!

The Da Chen Imperial Court, it uses the power of all beings between heaven and earth to continuously enhance its foundation, strengthening its power!

Indeed... a formidable adversary.

"It seems that this is also the core of the Talisman Granting of Heaven and Earth..."

With the keen perception of Dragon Qi granted by the Emperor’s Blood, An Jing could see that there was also a wisp of Dragon Qi within Zheng Mo—an extraordinary one at that. If the Dragon Qi in the Earth Vein of Kanming City was gold dust beside a mine, then the Dragon Qi inside Zheng Mo was like ultra-pure gold with a purity of over ninety-nine percent!

This ultra-high purity Dragon Qi condensed into complex talisman shapes, merging with the Soul and Spirit of the Talisman Granting Official, guiding nature’s spiritual energy into the body.

"Heaven, Earth, and Man. Heavenly Mandate, Earthly Position, Personal Fortune."

The silver light in his eyes slowly faded as An Jing, having seen all the mysteries, nodded thoughtfully, "So it is. Compared to the Heavenly Mandate Fate Pattern, the Talisman Granting system of Da Chen relies more on the ’Imperial Court’ granting of positions through Dragon Qi, and the individuals’ own efforts."

"It’s done."

At the same time, Zheng Mo also condensed a talisman using the power of the Earth Vein. He turned around, presenting the talisman to An Jing with pleasant satisfaction, "With this, you will be able to get close to the Divine Weapon and observe its Divine Intention!"

An Jing noticed that the authority of the entire Formation had opened up slightly for him, and the constant constraints that had been upon him had disappeared.

And now, he could step forward and touch the Kanming Bell.

"Please observe."

Zheng Mo stepped aside to let An Jing pass, and after An Jing quietly expressed his thanks, he eagerly stepped forward.

Others might not know, but An Jing was well aware that he was not actually a yang attribute genius who had gained Enlightenment by witnessing the operation of the Kanming Bell, so he did not expect to truly learn anything from the Kanming Bell itself.

However, An Jing sensed something stirring within his ’Coalescing Qi into Soldiers’ Divine Skill.

The Qi of humanity, Earth Pulse Qi, Heavenly Qi, and the Dragon Qi that unifies all three, is also Qi!

Although the Divine Weapon has a physical form and is not shaped by Qi, the method of operation used by the Da Chen Imperial Court to refine Divine Weapons and official seals with Dragon Qi... is related to Coalescing Qi into Soldiers.

"If I consider my body as a Small World, then the Qi Soldiers merged into my body are essentially a form of ’Divine Weapon’!"

"Divine Skills are like Formations, and Formations are also Divine Skills. The Heavens and Earth as a furnace, refining all things, isn’t my body also a grand furnace, honing Divine Skills?"

An Jing felt that he could learn—as long as he learned it, then he could also imitate the Dragon Qi in reinforcing Divine Weapons. With his own Taibai Fiend Qi, or other various Spiritual Materials, he could ’Forge Soldiers’ within his own body!

An Jing had a premonition that as long as he could truly master this skill and elevate the forging of his body’s Qi Soldiers to a higher level... then his Taibai Divine Skill would also be awakened as a result!
