Chapter 553 Spiritual Vein, Profound Yang Crystal

Ling Wanqing saw this and said, "Alright, I am just concerned for you. Be careful when the time comes."

"I know, but there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"There won't be. Even if the Old Ancestor can't handle it, I am still here, so rest assured."

The group arrived near their destination, and the Elders of the Star Sea Sect were fully prepared and ready for the upcoming battle.

They were quite confident about this battle; the Demonic Path Cultivators would have to pay the price for daring to do something like this.

The Demonic Path Cultivators were currently gathering the resources inside, feeling that the people from the Star Sea Sect would likely come by.

However, they likely wouldn't make a huge fuss. It was said that the Star Sea Sect hadn't had any conflicts with Demonic Path Sects for a long time, and that was exactly why they had targeted this place.

Furthermore, the resources here were truly abundant. This was a Spiritual Vein, which had immense value and could significantly bolster the Sect's foundation.

How could he possibly give up something like this?

They hadn't bothered to investigate the rumors about the Star Sea Sect, as those were actually events from many years ago.

They assumed the Star Sea Sect was still the same as before, with their Sect Old Ancestor also being at the Body Integration Stage.

If that were the case, they would still have quite an advantage.

Plus, the Star Sea Sect would surely have to consider the bigger picture and wouldn't have the energy to drag things out with them here; that was the confidence they held.

They hadn't expected that a Spiritual Vein would actually be hidden beneath such a place; logically, this shouldn't have been the case.

But it had indeed happened.

"Hurry up, everyone. The people from the Star Sea Sect won't let this go easily. Finish the preparations quickly."

"Prepare to meet their attack. As long as we defend this time, this Spiritual Vein will basically be ours."

Su Yu and the others were still on the road, but they were not far from the location.

High above, the Old Ancestor, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

His gaze grew sharper. "I can sense the aura over there."

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen right after I achieved a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage. I will head over first."

In an instant, the Old Ancestor disappeared from everyone's sight at an unimaginable speed.

Seeing this, the group remarked, "The Old Ancestor went ahead alone. It seems he already knows the basic situation."

"If the Old Ancestor is taking the lead, it seems we won't even need to make an appearance."

"Indeed. I thought the Old Ancestor came to back us up, but I didn't expect we would be the ones backing him up. Still, this can be considered a good thing."

Yun Niang felt it wasn't bad. "It seems I can take it easy for a while again."

Ling Wanqing said, "The difference between the Mahayana Stage and the Body Integration Stage is immense. The Old Ancestor alone is enough to crush all of them."

"This is also why it was said back then that the Twelve Super Sects must have a Cultivator at the Mahayana Stage overseeing them."

"Otherwise, they would never be able to withstand such situations."

Yun Niang nodded. "That's true. I wonder what will happen by the time we get there."

Su Yu said, "We will know when we get there. Let's just rest assured."

Su Yu and the group continued to move forward.

Just then, the Demonic Path Cultivators noticed the person who had suddenly appeared, along with the Mahayana aura on his body.

It had already rendered most of them unable to move, and those with weaker cultivation had already fainted on the ground.

Some were lying on the ground, drenched in sweat with twisted expressions, while others were half-kneeling, struggling to hold on.

There were still some standing, but their expressions were extremely grim and terrified.

"How could a Mahayana Cultivator come here?"

Moreover, the words 'Star Sea' on his attire were exceptionally dazzling.

"Damn it! How could this be? How could the Star Sea Sect produce a Mahayana Cultivator? It is nothing more than an average Sect!"

"Today, I will let you witness exactly what kind of strength our 'average' Sect possesses."

At this moment, the group rushing to the scene felt the Old Ancestor's aura ahead, as well as the aura from the Demonic Path side.

The aura of one person on the Demonic Path side seemed to be expanding rapidly, to the point where the group could sense the two auras colliding with each other.

Knowing this situation, the group realized they needed to hurry over and see.

Everyone rushed toward the battlefield.

Before long, they arrived at the battlefield. By then, most of the enemies had already been dealt with by the Old Ancestor, and the Demonic Path side was essentially routed, with no desire to fight.

However, they were still making a final struggle.

That Demonic Path Cultivator used a secret technique to briefly elevate himself to a level capable of contending with the Mahayana Stage, but it was obviously futile.

He could hold out for a while, but it wouldn't change anything, and he didn't have much time left.

Seeing this, the group knew the matter was settled. This was the Old Ancestor's first battle after his Breakthrough to the Mahayana Stage, and it was over so quickly.

They only needed to be responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.

In truth, it didn't matter who handled this; even the Disciples could do it, as there was no danger.

Perhaps the Sect Master had considered that there might still be a possibility of unexpected events in this place.

While everyone was watching the battle in the sky, Su Yu looked at the Spiritual Vein below.

No wonder others couldn't discover this Spiritual Vein. Not only was the location remote, but it was also barren; it didn't look like it had a Spiritual Vein at all.

However, this Spiritual Vein was different. There was actually a Profound Yang Crystal inside it, which explained everything.

This Profound Yang Crystal happened to be one of the rare Materials he needed.

Taking it away wouldn't cause any issues; in fact, it would allow the Spiritual Vein's function to be released. The reason this Spiritual Vein was like this was because this object had absorbed most of its Spiritual Qi.

As a result, although it looked like a Spiritual Vein and felt like one, its actual effect was useless.

Removing it would instead help the Spiritual Vein recover.

With that said, Su Yu employed the Space Law, and the Profound Yang Crystal moved into his own space.

Done. Now the Spiritual Vein would slowly regain its function.

The battle in the sky had also ended by this time.

Everyone had been unable to look away; to them, it was simply a visual feast.

The Sect Master saw this and said, "The Old Ancestor has won. Let us clean up the battlefield and take care of the remaining Demonic Path Cultivators."

The group then dispersed.

As time passed, the battlefield was soon tidied up, and the Star Sea Sect's flag was planted once again.

Looking at the Spiritual Vein underground, the group realized that with it, they could significantly increase the Sect's foundation. This place could be considered the Sect's second Holy Land.

Over the next few days, Su Yu and the others acted as movers.

The place now looked completely different from before; many houses and pavilions had been built.

It already had quite a considerable scale.

After confirming that no one else would come to cause trouble, the Sect also finished carving the Teleportation Formation here. Now, they could finally return.

They just needed to send people to garrison here. Moreover, since there was a Spiritual Vein underground, living here could speed up their cultivation.

It could also be used as a reward for some outstanding Disciples.

The group prepared to return to the Star Sea Sect.

Su Yu returned home and looked at the item in his space. How should this thing be used?
