92: Like a fairyland
After the spirit gathering stone was integrated into the array foundation, Lu Yu didn't hesitate at all. He took out the zi xuan crystal from his wings and suspended it above the array.
With the appearance of the zi xuan crystal, much of the increasingly dense Spiritual Qi in the world merged into the zi xuan crystal.
Immediately, the power contained within the zi xuan crystal was further activated, refracting a thin purple mist that gradually spread out.
As the mist diffused, the light shining down from the heavens was tinted purple, making the entire Jiangzhou City look like a dreamlike wonderland.
Afterward, countless array patterns appeared in the sky, connecting with the nine peaks surrounding the edge of Jiangzhou City, forming a semi-circular purple protective shield, like an inverted giant bowl.
The Spiritual Qi attracted by the spirit gathering stone surged within the protective shield, becoming denser and denser, like pure white silk.
The Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array was officially activated!
Whether it was the array foundation composed of countless ferocious beast skeletons, or the spirit gathering stone and zi xuan crystal, all were exerting their utmost to emit dazzling light, interweaving and reaching a certain balance.
And Jiangzhou City, encompassed by the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Array, also underwent tremendous, earth-shattering changes at this time.
First, under the nourishment of the dense Spiritual Qi, the plants and trees in the city grew rapidly, and a touch of emerald green appeared on the roads and the reinforced concrete walls.
It brought vibrant life to the monotonous, dull city.
Many ancient trees over a hundred years old greedily absorbed the Spiritual Qi here, gradually evolving towards the direction of spirit trees, with more developed root systems and leaves emitting a faint glow like jade.
Many herbs, nourished by the pure Spiritual Qi, underwent a certain transformation and evolution, becoming spirit herbs that could only be found in wondrous or dangerous places.
In addition to the significant impact on the plants in Jiangzhou City, the citizens living in Jiangzhou City were also greatly affected.
Bathing in the Spiritual Qi was like being immersed in a hot spring.
Frail and sickly elderly people suddenly found that they no longer coughed, and some minor colds simply disappeared.
Relatively healthy adult men grew taller, became more robust, with increased muscle density, looking strong and powerful, reaching their peak physical condition.
Moreover, as time passed and Spiritual Qi continued to gather, people also discovered that staying here not only strengthened their bodies.
They actually developed a certain affinity with Spiritual Qi!
The Spiritual Qi Revival had been going on for some time, and they all knew that ferocious beasts were powerful and terrifying precisely because they could absorb Spiritual Qi for cultivation.
However, humans seemed to be naturally repelled by Spiritual Qi and could not cultivate by relying on it.
At most, they could only rely on Gene Serum to undergo physical mutation before slowly cultivating.
However, in the increasingly dense spiritual mist of Jiangzhou City, they gradually gained hope for cultivation!
Many warriors stationed here were moved to tears, crying with excitement.
Amidst the rampant ferocious beasts, they had witnessed too many partings of life and death, whether it was their relatives and friends, or comrades they fought alongside daily, all died in the mouths of ferocious beasts.
And they could only watch the bloody scene, powerless.
They had always longed to be able to absorb Spiritual Qi and improve their strength, and now, this wish was gradually becoming a reality.
Zhao Xin and other wealthy individuals who paid to re-enter Jiangzhou City were also beaming, increasingly feeling that their previous decision was correct.
Li Changan, emerging from the bunker, surveyed the dense Spiritual Qi in the sky, increasingly feeling Lu Yu's power and mystery.
While other ferocious beasts were still searching for Spiritual Qi treasure grounds, Lu Yu had, without anyone knowing, transformed his occupied territory into a treasure ground!
The density of Spiritual Qi even surpassed those treasure grounds occupied by ferocious beasts that he already knew about.
Most importantly, as the purple light shield in the sky gradually faded, he vaguely felt that Lu Yu's transformation of Jiangzhou City was not that simple; there were still things they didn't know!
Compared to the people within Jiangzhou City, the ferocious beasts gathered in Jiangzhou City were even more excited.
They were all greedily inhaling the Spiritual Qi in the air.
Their expressions were unprecedentedly joyful, and they roared from time to time, both expressing their excitement and showing their submission to Lu Yu.
Although most of the ferocious beasts were not Tier C Ferocious Beast, their intelligence was already quite high. Following Lu Yu not only gave them a great sense of security.
They could also absorb such dense Spiritual Qi for cultivation, which was simply like being in paradise.
Just by breathing and absorbing some Spiritual Qi, they felt invigorated and their physiques became much stronger.
A very small number of ferocious beasts even underwent mutation or atavism under the massive Spiritual Qi surge, with their strength greatly increasing.
Firebird and other ferocious beasts clearly felt that the Spiritual Qi here was becoming denser and denser.
Their cultivation speed increased several times over.
If they could stay here for a long time, their advancement to Tier B would be much faster.
Their efforts in hunting ferocious beasts these days had finally yielded huge returns... Meanwhile.
As Jiangzhou City underwent earth-shattering changes and a large amount of Spiritual Qi gathered within the city, many countries and acutely perceptive ferocious beasts sensed this change.
Especially those Tier B Ferocious Beasts who had already taken control of Japan and South Korea, they looked down at Jiangzhou City through satellite views, their eyes filled with intense covetousness.
After breaking through to Tier B, their strength had indeed greatly increased, but to advance further, they needed more and more Spiritual Qi!
However, the places with dense Spiritual Qi on Blue Star were already occupied by major top-tier ferocious beasts.
Although they also occupied some.
But compared to the dense Spiritual Qi in Jiangzhou City, the treasure grounds they occupied had at most only half the Spiritual Qi density, with no comparability whatsoever.
The Spiritual Qi in Jiangzhou City could accelerate their cultivation, allowing them to advance by leaps and bounds and not be surpassed by other ferocious beasts.
The further one cultivated, the greater the strength difference at each realm, almost like insurmountable natural barriers.
Being stronger by just a small realm would allow one to easily defeat ferocious beasts of lower realms.
However, wanting to quickly advance realms was not an easy task.
One either relied on powerful bloodline talent, smoothly ascending without any bottlenecks.
Or one relied on a large accumulation of resources and assistance, forcibly raising one's realm.
Of these two methods of improvement, breaking through with bloodline talent was undoubtedly the most important.
But this was not something they could control or change; it was decided at birth.
The only thing they could control and change was to acquire massive resources, and among them, treasure grounds with dense Spiritual Qi were of paramount importance.
"Lu Yu is nothing more than a Golden Eagle. Such a bloodline, breaking through to Tier B is already its limit. He is not worthy of controlling a treasure ground like Jiangzhou City!"
In Japan, a six-headed giant snake, half-submerged in the sea, narrowed its dark, deep vertical pupils, staring at Jiangzhou City on the satellite image.
