A spirit vein was the acc.u.mulation of energy and momentum of the world. It contained the energy veins, providence, and other natural laws.

　　This particular one beneath the capital was called a “Dragon Vein” because it was the largest in the dynasty and contained a ma.s.sive amount of providence. It allowed the capital to have peace and prosperity. Thus, those who came to the capital could enjoy the thickest spirit energy for cultivation. 

　　The Dragon Vein flowed beneath the ground like a surging golden ocean.

　　More than thirty cultivators from Beauty’s Smile were led by their lord, Wan Huazhu. They sat on top of a millennium spirit beast with a protective barrier. The beast jumped into the Dragon Vein and swam through this ma.s.sive wave of energy.

　　It was powerful enough to withstand the maelstroms in this vein. The other beasts living here hastily made way for it.

　　The cultivators within this barrier could hide their presence so the imperial experts could sense them at all. A glance or using their divine intent would only spot the beast, not the riders on top.

　　The beast was escaping far away but the Feng and Destruction experts were nowhere to be found. Feiyun did a risk a.n.a.lysis and took the risk. He summoned his vessel and jumped into the Dragon Vein.

　　The power of the vessel has yet to be activated so it floated on the raging current like a regular boat.

　　The old and melancholic boat with its eighteen broken sails continued forward through the waves.

　　The diagram of the Dragon-horse floated above in order to protect the s.h.i.+p from the murderous gales in this place.

　　“Pavilion Lord, Feng Feiyun is after us.”

　　An old woman at the back of the beast spotted Feiyun.

　　Wan Huazhu turned back and was quite surprised to see the guy. There were many dangers in the vein so without this beast, she wouldn’t dare to enter it. Feiyun was only at second-level yet he was fine and well right now? Truly shocking.

　　She quickly realized that the s.h.i.+p was the thing protecting him. It had an aura that even the Dragon Vein was afraid of.

　　“He’s suicidal going by himself.”

　　“That’s perfect, our pavilion is destroyed because of him. Blood for blood then.”

　　A beautiful woman wearing a moon robe with rippling eyes and breath as sweet as the orchid took out an ancient sword. She drew more than one hundred sword mantras and unleashed a ray towards Feiyun.

　　Feiyun was leaving marks behind for reinforcement and suddenly, he felt a terrifying sword slash coming for him.

　　His eyes narrowed as a plume of fire issued a phoenix cry. Two blinding rays came out like fiery chains and shattered the sword slash.

　　His Heavenly Phoenix Gaze had reached a high enough level to unleash rays capable of contending against a spirit treasure.

　　“Pluff!” The rays struck the woman and shattered her sword mantras. Blood began dripping out of her eyes.

　　“Xinlan, back off. You’re not his match.” A hunchback old woman blocked before her and raised her decrepit finger to unleash another ray.

　　The old woman was far stronger than the young girl earlier. The ray was able to gather the energy of the Dragon Vein to culminate in incomparable sharpness.

　　Feiyun used his Samsara Steps to dodge it. The ray struck the vessel and its power got absorbed, unable to damage the s.h.i.+p in the slightest.

　　“Bang.” Feiyun landed back on the vessel and slowed down.

　　The cultivators on that beast were immensely powerful. The majority was at Heaven’s Mandate while Wan Huazhu was a Giant. Feiyun was relying on his speed to stay alive or she could destroy him with one move.

　　The other old women were quite amazing too, infinitely close to being half-step Giants.

　　“Hall Lord, if we don’t take him down, he’ll lead the army right to us.” One old woman said.

　　Huazhu also attacked but inside this Dragon Vein, the power of a Giant still became weaker. Plus, she couldn’t cause a big commotion or the experts from the royal clan would figure it out right away.

　　“I’ll go kill him, everyone, go on ahead.” A fifth-level old woman took the initiative and flew above the Dragon Vein to attack Feiyun.

　　A fifth-level was no joke, she could reign an entire domain by herself or take up a high position in a great power.
