After testing the power of the Mountain-Protecting Array, Mu Jinyu slowly descended from a kilometer high in the sky and returned to the Secluded Valley.
Due to the commotion he had just caused, the group of women, who had been resting, were all awakened early.
"Was that commotion the completion of the Mountain-Protecting Array?"
Upon seeing Mu Jinyu descending from the sky, Su Zijin's eyes lost their surprise and curiosity as she asked.
"Yes," Mu Jinyu said with a radiant smile on his face. "The Mountain-Protecting Array that has been set up is even more successful than I had imagined."
"I don't know if this defensive array can withstand the bombardment of a Martial Artist from the Divine Realm Ninth Layer, but at least, Martial Artists from the fifth and sixth layer attacking us won't be able to handle it and will even die from their own attacks," he continued.
Saying this, Mu Jinyu sighed slightly, expressing some regret, "It's just a pity that there is still no clue about the repair of the Dragon Vein."
Currently, the Mountain-Protecting Array of Yinlong Mountain was merely constructed by numerous arrays linked together in sequence.
It was not like a true Mountain-Protecting Array that integrates with the local mountain's feng shui and spiritual energy, triggering changes in the terrain and feng shui situation, enhancing each other.
This was because the Dragon Vein in Yinlong Mountain was broken, giving rise to Dragon Resentment Evil Qi from one of the Dragon Veins.
If the Mountain-Protecting Array were connected to the local feng shui, not only would it not enhance the power of the Mountain-Protecting Array, but it would also contaminate the spiritual energy within Yinlong Mountain with the Dragon Resentment Evil Qi!
Currently, that Dragon Resentment Evil Qi was only temporarily isolated by the "Silent Qi Array" by Mu Jinyu, and not truly resolved.
Only by successfully repairing the broken Dragon Vein, allowing the nine mountains to completely intersect with the Mountain-Protecting Array, would it truly activate a massive scale Mountain-Protecting Array.
It would be like the finishing touch to a dragon painting, which could elevate the spiritual energy, defensive capabilities, and offensive powers of Yinlong Mountain by several levels!
"That's still not bad, then. Does that mean we can cultivate quietly in Yinlong Mountain for a long time from now on, without anyone disturbing us?"
Yu Linglong and Xu Qingya, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, could hardly contain their excitement and happily spoke.
"Yes, you guys should quietly cultivate for now, start on the Cultivation Technique I have passed down to you, and step into the Divine Realm so you will have the ability to protect yourselves in the future," Mu Jinyu said.
As for their mention of peace and no disturbance, Mu Jinyu chose not to comment.
But in his heart, he scoffed at himself with a wry smile. Peaceful? Ever since he became the Dragon King of the Dragon King Hall and the Tiance True Dragon, peace was something he could no longer expect.
The current peace was only temporary. Not to mention Ye Wushuang's vendetta, there was also the lineage of Wen Rou's mother, who seemed to have significant power in the Kunlun Ruins as well.
Back then, when he had angrily killed Chen Shuyi's guard in Capital City, the Chen Family would surely come looking for trouble with him one day.
Furthermore, there were deep-seated grievances from Xiang Mantang and the powers behind Jian Ruyan...
All pointing towards the Kunlun Ruins!
Although Jian Ruyan wouldn't clarify their situation, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly.
After all, Xiang Mantang, having gone alone to the Demon World to suppress and back the Ghostly Demons for the sake of bringing peace to Earth, had no time to settle personal grudges. But as Xiang Mantang's senior, before Xiang Mantang exits seclusion, he definitely had to help him gather detailed information.
So that when Xiang Mantang returns, he wouldn't waste any time and could directly seek revenge!
Mu Jinyu thought quietly to himself.
However, the situation in Kunlun Ruins was definitely complicated at the moment. Xiang Mantang had told him earlier that the combined forces of the world's top ten organizations, nine great organizations, wouldn't even match a single Heavenly Palace.
For now, he still lacked the power to settle scores in Kunlun Ruins.
He still needed to enhance his strength and properly settle his mother and wives so that he could set out for Kunlun Ruins and Heavenly Palace with peace of mind!
This was also one of the reasons why he was eager to set up the Mountain-Protecting Array and repair the Dragon Vein.
Shaking his head slightly to dispel the worries and pressures weighing on his heart, Mu Jinyu looked at Gu Xiyan and the others, who were chatting and laughing, joined them for a bit, and then went to have a meal.
After breakfast.
Mu Jinyu did not go to cultivate or sleep, but rather took out the plump and full seed from inside the Shennong Cauldron and began to contemplate its use.
"Activate!"
Since Wang Mao had said that neither burying it in soil nor soaking it in water could make the seed germinate, Mu Jinyu did not waste time, but directly employed the True Dragon Art to stimulate his Dragon Clan's bloodline, allowing his True Yuan, filled with immense Life Source Energy, to irrigate the seed to see if it could germinate!
"Chirp chirp chirp…"
The vast True Yuan continuously surged into the exotic seed, causing it to emit a verdant glow.
However, this was just the color of the Wood Attributed True Essence, not a real change in the exotic seed.
After infusing 1% of his True Essence Power into the exotic seed, Mu Jinyu stopped, only to find that its exterior remained pitch black, with no signs of germination whatsoever.
"How strange, I used so much True Yuan, but there's no reaction at all. Could it be a dead seed?"
Mu Jinyu muttered to himself in surprise.
He had tried it, his Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi could accelerate healing of injuries, and it could also hasten the maturing of Spiritual Medicine.
A just-flowering Spiritual Medicine, upon receiving 1% of his Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi, would directly speed up its growth, letting it quickly bear Spirit Fruits.
But now, after he had infused 1% of his Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi into this peculiar seed, it showed no reaction at all.
This made Mu Jinyu doubt whether this seed was indeed already dead.
But within it, there clearly still emanated a rich life aura.
It didn't seem like a dead seed at all!
Hmm? No, that's not right!
Mu Jinyu carefully felt it again and realized that the seed actually did experience some changes; its Spiritual Energy and life force had both improved to a certain extent before he even acted!
"Crap!"
Mu Jinyu noticing this change, slightly altered his expression, knowing the reason.
It seemed that this seed really could germinate, but it required a large amount of the Spring of Life to do so.
And Wang Mao, not understanding this, instead continuously extracted its Spiritual Energy for use as Spirit Stones to aid in cultivation, causing its Elemental Qi to deplete, making it even harder to germinate.
The consequence of Wang Mao's nonsensical actions was that he needed to continuously deplete Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi to make up for the life force deficit of this seed, in order to give it a chance to germinate.
But through this process, how much of his Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi would he consume?
Who knows!
And his Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi was not like normal True Essence Power that, after being depleted, needed only a period of meditation and cultivation to absorb enough Spiritual Energy and convert it back to True Essence Power, and all would be well.
His Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi was catalyzed by his blood!
If too much were depleted, his life could be endangered!
Mu Jinyu's countenance fluctuated as he considered whether or not to try expending a significant amount of Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi to stimulate this exotic seed.
After all, it could potentially be like filling a bottomless pit.
In the meantime, if there ever came a time when he desperately needed his Yi Wood Azure Dragon Qi to save someone, the situation would be dire!
"Forget it, the seed is so unique, it would truly be a pity to just ignore it. I might as well spend more time to slowly stimulate it."
