However, even though He Song now had a solid background, his personal strength was not weak either.
But when he used the Mountain Wind Riding Skill, he always kept himself close to the treeline, or sprinted across flat ground.
He hovered above the ground, always no more than a few meters high.
He didn’t move flamboyantly through mid-air.
In this way, he could reduce the chance of being discovered, while also making his advance more covert.
So, in case of any sudden situations, he would have more reaction time.
His form threaded through the treeline, He Song’s gaze swept over the forests that constantly receded around him. As he felt the strong wind that faced him, there was a sense of thrill in his heart.
The Wind Riding Skill.
Outdoes the Light Body Skill.
It’s far more practical.
The Light Body Skill, only makes the body lighter, allowing rapid dashes on the ground.
But the Wind Riding Skill? Manipulating the wind, it allows one to hover in mid-air for a long time.
Take a step, and you are hundreds of meters away.
And the speed is extremely fast.
Most importantly, you can fly!
Although not like a Foundation Establishment Master, who can use tunneling skills to travel thousands of miles, or ride a spirit boat in high flight.
However, when his body left the ground, and he was advancing forward at a high speed, this feeling still gave He Song a moment of intoxication.
But, since he was on his way, He Song quickly pulled himself together and continued to rush forward.
A few days later.
After a long, arduous journey, He Song finally appeared near the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
However, when he arrived at the valley where he had opened the spirit field, the scene before him made him frown.
A few hundred miles from the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
In the valley where He Song’s twenty-mu spirit field is located, all the arrays have failed. Due to the exhaustion of the spirit stones, they had become effectless.
Only the Illusion Array was barely maintaining the illusions of the place.
He Song, who had concealed his aura and tunneled underground to this place from far away, watched as the scene before him turn grim.
The Spirit-Gathering Arrays had all failed due to the exhaustion of spirit stones.
The Spirit-Gathering Arrays, which used to gather the spirit Qi from around, now looked like empty shells, devoid of any spirit gathering effects.
The Five Phases Array, which served both attack and defense, also seemed to have suffered some damage. He Song even saw a crack appearing in the base of the array.
The arrays set up here, at this moment, only the Illusion Array was left, maintaining a faint illusion, preventing this place from being discovered by other cultivators.
However, although the scene in front of him made He Song instantly realize that this place seemed to have been invaded by cultivators.
But, as there was no one around, and his own strength was enough, moreover he was a disciple of the Thick Earth Sect.
If attacked, even if he couldn’t win, he could quickly rush to the Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion for help.
Therefore, He Song didn’t rush to leave this place, instead, a light flashed in his eyes, and he looked towards the center of the valley.
At first glance.
He Song’s eyes immediately saw a scene different from before.
This place, where spirit Qi had dispersed and the spirit Qi gathered by the Spirit-Gathering Arrays had completely disappeared, leaving only a bit of sparse spirit Qi still lingering around.
However, in this place where the spirit Qi was sparse, He Song saw a scene of spirit Qi soaring in a certain place.
This anomaly almost instantly caught He Song’s attention.
After pondering.
He Song wielded his Red Gold Sword and Thick Earth Shield, and a few high-grade Thick Earth Amulets also appeared in his hand.
Only then did he cautiously leave the valley and came to a high mountain not far from the valley.
Atop the high mountain.
He Song hid his body under the ground, revealing only one eye,looking towards the place where the spirit Qi soared.
This glance, immediately made He Song’s eyes fill with utter astonishment.
In the valley.
Through the illusion of the Illusion Array, He Song quickly spotted the remains of a monk.
The bones were severely damaged, as if slashed by blades and axes or burned by fierce flames, making them look extremely battered.
Judging from the state of his death, it seemed as if he was killed by the Five Elements Array.
When He Song had just used his Spirit Vision Skill, the location of the surge of spirit Qi was exactly where the remains lay.
Seeing this, He Song examined the surroundings once more. After confirming there were no ambushes, he moved fully armed into the valley.
The moment he entered the valley, He Song cast several Array Foundations to completely repair the Five Elements Array.
After the Five Elements Array was fully repaired, he cast several more Array Foundations to reestablish the Illusion Array.
After completing these steps, and operating the two Arrays to envelop the entire valley, he detected no presence and finally let out a sigh of relief. His gaze then turned to the location of the remains.
Remaining vigilant, He Song soon arrived at the site of the remains.
A monk’s remains.
They contained a substantial amount of spirit Qi.
After a monk’s death, the spirit Qi in their bones gradually dissipates, returning to the heavens and the earth.
This is what causes the surge of spirit Qi.
However, if the person was killed and their body burned on the spot, the contained spirit Qi would quicky dissipate and there would be no surge of spirit
The remains before He Song were indeed those which had not been damaged after death.
“This person… I clearly set up the Illusion Array outside the Five Elements
Array. How could someone forcefully break in and get killed by the Five Elements Array?”
Staring at the remains before him, He Song was utterly perplexed.
Looking back at the twenty acres of spirit field full of dried up spirit rice, He Song let out a sigh.
If you’re going to die, just die.
And yet he ruined my twenty acres of spirit rice.
That’s over two thousand spirit stones!
If this person hadn’t forcefully intruded, the Five Elements Array wouldn’t have been activated.
It wouldn’t have been trying to kill this person, draining its own spirit stones, then forcefully drawing the spirit Qi from the Spirit-Gathering Array.
When the spirit stones in the Spirit-Gathering Array are exhausted and it becomes ineffective, the spirit rice naturally dies as well.
However, thankfully the Five Elements Array forcefully killed this person and didn’t allow him to escape. Otherwise, what He Song would have come upon would probably have been a completely empty valley. Though it didn’t differ much from that now.
But at least… he could loot the body.
To recoup some losses.
With a simple summon, the storage bag next to the remains fell into He Song’s hands.
After a brief sense-check, an array of items appeared before He Song.
Spirit stones.
Books.
Clothes.
Artifacts.
He Song was dazzled by the variety.
But upon a thorough search, he found that these items were only worth a little over five hundred spirit stones.
The wealth of a Qi-refining mid stage cultivator probably amounted to this.
Seeing this, He Song silently cursed his bad luck.
Then, with a spit of spirit Qi from his fingertips, a huge fireball suddenly appeared before him.
The next moment, the fireball fell, and the monk’s remains were instantly burned to ashes. Without hesitating, he gathered the ashes into the storage bag, and let out a sigh.
“Alas, I wonder if I can still use this spirit field… and if this person has any friends who might come here.”
His gaze sweeping over the twenty acres of spirit field behind him, a struggle flashed through He Song’s eyes..
