Although they all knew the blessed land was close at hand,
this area still consisted of dozens of interconnected mountain peaks.
The exact location of the blessed land needed to be carefully investigated.
While other sects were trying their luck everywhere, Li Shuang already had a specific direction.
"Earth-grade Spiritual Spring: 5 million value points! In this natural spiritual spring, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth condenses, and the spiritual energy is ten times that of other places!"
Li Shuang's eyes lit up.
5 million value points!
This was a huge treasure!
She immediately spent some value points to have the Heaven and Earth Smelter pinpoint the exact location.
Then,
Li Shuang led the Sword Sect disciples to an unremarkable mountain peak with a clear objective.
Generally,
the more treacherous the mountain peak, the more likely it was to hide treasures.
So, the disciples of the other two sects largely went to higher mountain peaks.
The peak Li Shuang chose was only average in height, and its appearance showed no abnormalities.
Li Shuang circled the mountaintop.
The Heaven and Earth Smelter said the spiritual spring was here, so it must be here!
But at the moment, there was no sign of the spiritual spring, which could only mean that it was hidden.
Hidden?
Who would hide a spiritual spring here?
Considering that this place was specifically chosen for them by Yu Jin,
Li Shuang probably knew.
This spiritual spring was likely personally relocated by the City Lord.
Hiding the spiritual spring was both a test and a reward.
Whichever sect could find the spiritual spring would find the true blessed land.
Li Shuang carefully looked at the red dot marked by the Heaven and Earth Smelter.
Her current position seemed to overlap with this red dot.
However…
Perhaps not.
This position and the red dot seemed to have a slight spatial偏移.
Li Shuang couldn't help but glance at her feet.
Could it be…
It should be so.
Li Shuang said without hesitation, "Everyone, please follow me and cleave this mountain peak!"
Cleave the mountain?
Luo Mingyue, who was yawning, immediately perked up: "Good, good, good, finally something exciting to do!"
"Then let's split it!"
"My sword is ready."
Li Shuang suddenly proposed cleaving the mountain, but the Sword Sect members all responded with smiles, no one raising any objections.
"Then! Cleave the mountain!" Finally, Lin Qingling made the definitive decision.
The Sword Sect members floated into the air.
Then, they all struck the same point simultaneously.
In the sky, sword gleams crisscrossed immediately.
The people from the other two sects were stunned.
"What are the Sword Sect people doing?" Yun Qingyu was surprised: "Cutting down a mountain peak for no reason?"
"Is there anything special about that mountain peak?"
"Let's check first!"
People from other sects also looked over.
In an instant,
rocks flew, and the entire mountain peak split open from the middle!
At the moment it split!
A new mountain peak actually emerged from within.
Extremely rich spiritual energy surged into the sky!
Everyone's pupils suddenly constricted.
"This... this is..." Yan Fan looked shocked.
He vaguely heard the sound of water!
After the debris and dust disappeared, amidst the lingering mist, a waterfall cascaded down a cliff into a crescent-shaped pool. Every drop of water released pure spiritual energy!
"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" The elder of the Qianji Sect trembled with excitement, stroking his beard: "The main peak is like a black tortoise bowing its head, the ridges on both sides embrace it like a green dragon and white tiger, and the three peaks in front form the posture of a phoenix spreading its wings! The spiritual spring gushes out precisely from the Qian position, conforming to the secret art of opening and closing the gates of heaven. The rising water vapor condenses with the Xun wind, perfectly aligning with the 'Qi disperses when encountering wind, and collects when encountering water' pattern of gathering wind and accumulating energy described in the 'Dragon Shaking Sutra'!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! What kind of divine being could hide an entire main peak? Originally, the feng shui here was not apparent. But once the true main peak emerged, it became a true blessed land!"
After the Qianji Sect elder finished speaking, he looked at the Sword Sect members with an expectant face: "What do you all think of this blessed land?"
The Sword Sect members fell silent.
For a long time,
Luo Mingyue lightly coughed and said, "My opinion is the same as the elder's."
"Me too." Jiang Rongyi followed up.
"Me too, me too."
Everyone expressed their agreement.
Even Lin Qingling merely nodded without offering any opinions.
The former Qianji Sect elder fell silent.
He now had reason to suspect that the Sword Sect members were uncultured and couldn't articulate anything…
"Alright, let's establish the sect gate with this spiritual spring as the core!" Lin Qingling quickly changed the subject.
Everyone immediately felt invigorated.
The next moment,
the disciples of Cangyuan Sect and Yuan Sect also descended.
Yun Qingyu looked at the spiritual spring with some jealousy: "It's actually an Earth-grade spiritual spring, you all truly have good fortune."
She looked at Li Shuang with some annoyance.
Is this the power of a heaven-chosen woman?
Lin Qingling chuckled and said, "You can't be envious of this! We only need these three middle mountain peaks; you can choose the other peaks yourselves."
The people from the other two sects all sighed.
Yun Qingyu said, "We don't have much choice. We'll just choose a place close to this spiritual spring."
The best position belonged to the Sword Sect.
They would choose the next best positions around the spiritual spring.
"Oh."
Yu Kui appeared in the air with a smile: "It seems someone has completed the test given by the City Lord. Then this main peak, and the two side peaks, will belong to the Sword Sect."
"You honor us, you honor us." Lin Qingling clasped her fists.
Yu Kui smiled and said, "Everyone, please wait in the air."
Everyone obeyed and waited in the air.
Then, Yu Kui took out a carving knife from his hand.
He wielded the carving knife, and his robes flapped loudly in the surging spiritual energy. He lightly picked at it with his fingertips, and the crisp sound of crumbling rocks echoed like ripples.
Under his carving knife, the entire mountain peak became his work-in-progress.
Crushed stones.
Vegetation.
Rivers.
Land.
Every single thing, under his carving knife, shifted and changed.
Everyone watched, mesmerized.
The higher one's cultivation, the more their heart trembled.
Although Yu Kui was only a puppet, his strength…
was probably even greater than that of ordinary Tribulation Transcenders!
When Yu Kui finally stopped, the three mountain peaks had been sculpted into a single theme, and this blessed land increasingly emanated an aura of celestial grandeur.
Yu Kui nodded contentedly: "Alright, you can proceed with the next step of construction. After the other two sects have chosen their locations, they can also come and find me."
The disciples of Cangyuan Sect and Yuan Sect quickly responded.
While the disciples of the other two sects were busy, the Sword Sect disciples also began to set up their sect.
This time, when they came to the Central Continent, they brought everything they could.
The entire Sword Sect was practically dismantled by them.
Now, it was time to reassemble it here.
This feeling of building a new sect from scratch filled everyone with motivation.
Li Shuang also joined the others in building the new Sword Sect.
Of course,
it was probably impossible for it to be exactly the same as the original sect.
There were old traces, but also new companions.
The new Sword Sect would be rebuilt here!
