128: Transformed spiritual wasteland

After traveling for a while.

The three finally stepped out of the invisible, oppressive cage of Shuiyue Peak, traveling swiftly and soon arriving at the precious land Lu Yang had purchased—the Five Spirits Immortal Cave.

As soon as they stepped inside, Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain frowned simultaneously, a hint of unconcealable bewilderment and disappointment flashing in their eyes.

Within a mountain hollow shrouded in dense Spiritual Qi, a grand Immortal Cave was built into the mountainside.

The Immortal Cave was situated in a mountain hollow with peculiar terrain. Its main body was carved out of the mountain, and the entrance was simply constructed with coarse, bluish-black boulders, exuding an unadorned sense of wildness.

Although the Spiritual Qi in the space surrounding the Immortal Cave was exceptionally dense, it was very chaotic. Streams of Spiritual Qi of various attributes, such as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, swirled around the entire hollow.

"This place... is actually a rare 'Spiritual Power Wasteland'?" Spring Breeze couldn't help but whisper, her tone carrying a sense of disbelief as she confirmed it.

Transforming Rain also looked enlightened, followed by deep confusion: "No wonder... no wonder Senior Brother Lu Yang could purchase this place!"

"A 'wasteland' like this, where the disadvantages for cultivation outweigh the benefits, is something ordinary Cultivators avoid like the plague. Naturally, its value is extremely low!"

"But... what did he buy this place for?" The sliver of expectation that had just risen in their hearts due to the "dense" Spiritual Qi instantly shattered, replaced by utter confusion.

However, as they approached the Immortal Cave for a closer look, their minds were instantly seized by the sight before them, leaving them shocked beyond measure!

On the mountain where the Immortal Cave was located, as well as on the extending ground and stone walls, countless profound and complex Formation runes shimmering with five-colored spiritual light were densely layered! The sheer number of these runes, the exquisiteness of their combinations, and the breadth of their coverage were enough to make one's scalp tingle!

Sensing something unusual, Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain suppressed their shock and focused their attention to observe closely.

Upon looking, their minds were shaken to the core, and they could hardly contain themselves!

It was precisely these dizzyingly complex Formation groups that, like countless invisible giant hands, were sorting and guiding that chaotic Spiritual Qi!

Although the Spiritual Qi on the outskirts of the hollow remained violent and chaotic, just by standing at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain could clearly sense that the nature of the Spiritual Qi stream being drawn inside had undergone a world-shaking transformation!

The Spiritual Qi, processed layer by layer through countless Formations and finally harmonized and released by the core grand array, had its chaos and conflict completely smoothed over. The remaining Impurities were refined away, making it gentle, pure, stable, and imbued with balanced Five Elements vitality!

Its purity was even comparable to the Celestial Qi in the core area of Shuiyue Peak!

How was this a "wasteland"? It was clearly a cultivation treasure land created through forced remodeling and seizing the natural order of heaven and earth!

At the same time, the massive network of runes and Formations, operating at high speed and covering the sky and earth, itself constituted an impregnable Absolute Domain hidden with killing intent, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

At this, Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain stood frozen in place, the shock in their hearts surging like a tsunami!

It felt as if they were witnessing a craftsman with heaven-reaching skills...

Lu Yang's handiwork... was actually to carve out and maintain a sanctuary of pure and stable internal Spiritual Qi upon a natural Spiritual Power Wasteland, relying on shocking Formation attainments and unimaginable resource investment!

This ability to turn decay into magic, and the profound application of the Dao of Five Elements Mutual Restraint... was truly unfathomable and admirable!

...Inside the Immortal Cave, Lu Yang had just sent off Gu Yingying, who left with a heart full of complex emotions—more accurately, he had let her leave on her own, carrying shock and a bit of embarrassment.

At this moment, Lu Yang was feeling complacent as he sensed the boundless power surging within him, even greater than before.

The profound effects of the Flood Dragon Transformation and Essence Art far exceeded his expectations! He casually stretched his limbs, his muscles bulging with explosive power, and faint streams of light seemed to flow beneath his skin, emitting a primal and powerful Aura.

Mu Wanqing was like a curious fawn, circling around him with her bright eyes filled with unconcealed wonder.

She reached out her slender fingers, cautiously poking Lu Yang's arm, which was as solid as refined iron, then touched the sharp contours of his abdominal muscles, clicking her tongue in admiration:

"Master! This... this Cultivation Technique is just too miraculous! How long has it been? I feel like you've... you've completely transformed!

"These muscles... this sense of power..." She subconsciously swallowed, feeling her cheeks grow hot, her eyes practically glued to Lu Yang, "You look even more formidable than those Body Cultivators!"

Lu Yang was amused by her blunt and somewhat infatuated appearance. A playful arc curled at the corner of his mouth as he deliberately leaned in close to her, his low voice carrying a hint of seduction: "Oh? What's the fun in just looking? Wanqing, do you want to... try how 'formidable' I am for yourself?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "formidable," his voice rising at the end, filled with ambiguous suggestion.

Mu Wanqing was flustered by his sudden proximity and hot breath, her pretty face turning beet red like a ripe apple.

She both looked forward to experiencing those powerful muscles and feared ending up like Gu Yingying. Her eyes darted away, and her small hands nervously twisted the corner of her clothes.

Just then, a slight, rhythmic ripple came from the Restriction at the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

Lu Yang's eyes shifted slightly, and his powerful Divine Sense instantly spread out like water, easily penetrating the Restriction.

When he "saw" clearly the three figures standing outside the Immortal Cave, his interest was instantly piqued, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
