Chapter 133 Stealing the Immortal City's Spiritual Veins

"Zhua Ba! Go and investigate the reasons for the activation and stopping of the immortal city's formation." The sea monster said to the entrance of the hall.

"Yes, Lord Jian!" A voice came from outside the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and then fell silent again.

When Claw Eight Sea Monster led two teams of Foundation Establishment Sea Monsters to search around the South Sea Fairy City, Shi Chen broke the formation at the entrance of the underground palace and walked down along the white jade steps.

After walking up the hundred-foot-long white jade steps, you will arrive at a palace, which is magnificent with jade carvings and gold threads.

There is a jade platform in the middle of the underground palace hall, with runes, light and shadow, and jade pillars supporting the top. Along the jade pillars, there is a crystal spirit vein that is three meters long and four inches thick.

Third-grade spiritual vein!

The dome of the underground palace is inlaid with three three-meter spiritual veins, each guarding the third-grade spiritual vein in the middle.

The jade platform and jade pillars were swirling in formation patterns. Shi Chen could feel the forbidden formation even though he was more than ten feet away.

After three quarters of an hour of observation, various array patterns formed twelve forbidden arrays, with the fourth-level sealing array as the main one and the third-level array as the auxiliary one. However, they combined with each other to form a fourth-level top-level composite array. When encountering such an array, even a normal fifth-grade array master would shake his head and sigh.

The separation of the composite formation will produce formation dissociation vibrations, and the entire fairy city will have slight tremors, especially the City Lord's Mansion, which will shake violently. Any cultivator who knows the structure of the fairy city will realize that there is a problem with the underground palace.

Extracting the spiritual vein is a tricky problem. Shi Chen has been preparing for half a year, but he still underestimated the arrangement of the formation designer in the fairy city.

The spiritual vein can only be extracted by following the array inheritance and dismantling the compound array bit by bit.

"Lord Jian! I have investigated for two days and found nothing suspicious about the fairy city's formation. The formation was running before, and then suddenly stopped. I have taken the formation masters in my clan to investigate the whole city, but found no clues. The Star Sea Formation Master believes that the formation was accidentally connected, and then part of the formation was running." Claw Eight said while standing in the city lord's hall.

"Has Master Xinghai made any breakthrough in his research on human formations? Is there any way to crack the spiritual vein underground palace?" Lord Jian asked after thinking for a while.

"My lord, we are currently unable to break the forbidden formation of the human race. If you need, you can use forceful attacks. The forbidden formation can be broken in two to three months at most. Once the forbidden formation is forcibly destroyed, the backup plan left by the human race in the forbidden formation will be activated, damaging the spiritual veins." said the Star Sea Formation Master.

"Please continue to break the seal. If the negotiations fail, we may have to use force to break the seal. Master Xinghai, please use all your strength to break the seal." Lord Jian said.

"Yes, Lord Jian, I will continue to break the seal." The Star Sea Formation Master replied.

Shi Chen launched the last formation flag, one hundred and twenty-eight formation flags, forming a decomposition, division, and suppression compound formation, which was mainly arranged according to the formation method of sealing the spirit veins.

Release the flag that activates the compound formation, and start the formation, then you can unblock the twelve formations one by one.

After recovering his spiritual power and consciousness, six days had passed since he entered the underground palace. He spent one day exploring, two days researching, two days arranging the method to break the formation, and one day recovering.

Looking at the complex array pattern connecting the jade platform and jade pillars, supplemented by the fourth-grade spiritual materials to form the array, Shi Chen was a little hesitant. Using fourth-grade spiritual materials to form the array for a third-grade spiritual vein was a bit of a waste of resources.

With this formation, if a fourth-level formation master makes even the slightest mistake, the entire Immortal City Lord's Mansion will be destroyed by the sealed compound formation. Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage can escape, but the rest will be reduced to ashes along with the City Lord's Mansion.

Moreover, the Immortal City's compound formations are all based on the fourth order and complement each other. The spiritual source provided by the third-grade spiritual veins is insufficient and cannot exert 70% of the effect of the fourth-order compound formation. If the formation master who arranged this formation is at such a level, it is a bit out of place.

After two days of careful investigation, Shi Chen finally found some clues.

There is also a spiritual source transmission array pattern connected under the jade platform, but it is covered by the composite array pattern above. There is a sealing array that conceals the spiritual transmission array pattern.

After an hour, Shi Chen unlocked the forbidden formation under the jade platform. His spiritual sense detected the formation patterns and a surprise appeared.

One fourth-grade spiritual vein and three third-grade spiritual veins.

After the surprise, there was a sigh. Shi Chen had no way to draw out the several spiritual veins buried under the jade platform.

There are two compound formations. The upper one is designed to confuse those who steal spiritual veins. The third-grade spiritual vein on the top of the jade pillar is used to provide spiritual source for the compound formation of the fairy city. The four spiritual veins below are controlled by the formation, which can exert the power of the entire fairy city defense formation. The upper and lower spiritual veins are not connected to each other.

The prepared spiritual materials and the arrangement of the formation can draw out at most one fourth-grade spiritual vein and one third-grade spiritual vein.

Shi Chen just sighed in his heart without feeling any pain. His original goal was to obtain a third-grade spiritual vein, but now the harvest has exceeded his expectations. People are never satisfied, and greed is too strong, which will not benefit him.

He began to arrange the formation. He needed to ensure that when drawing out the spiritual vein, he would not destroy the entire underground palace's sealing formation, and he had to disguise himself well so that others would not notice.

Two days passed in a flash. Shi Chen waved his hand and wiped his sweat-free forehead. Huh!

Finally, it was completed. Five formations were used to replace the extracted spiritual veins and seal the spiritual veins to prevent the instantaneous explosion of spiritual energy. A self-destruct formation was also added to the arranged compound formation. If the person who solved the formation had mediocre attainments in formation, the self-destruct formation would be triggered, and the entire underground palace would be detonated by the self-destruct formation, linking the sealing formation and spiritual veins of the entire underground palace and destroying them together. The power was enough to harm a cultivator in the fusion stage.

To unravel Shi Chen's formation, it would probably take a sixth-rank formation master.

An hour later, the two spiritual veins were safely extracted and stored in the Xuanhuang World.

The seal on the spiritual vein was released and buried underground in the Xuanhuang world. The spiritual energy of the entire Xuanhuang world gradually became richer.

After refining the first layer of restrictions in the Xuanhuang World, the space of the Xuanhuang World was a hundred feet. The outside was gray, the spiritual sense could not perceive, and the vision was blurred. Now after burying the two spiritual veins in the center of the Xuanhuang World space, the space suddenly expanded. In a few breaths, the space of the Xuanhuang World expanded to three hundred feet in radius.

It seems that we still need to find some spiritual vein treasures and put them into the Xuanhuang World.

After refining for so long, the restrictions of the second layer of the world have not felt loosened. It was originally estimated to be three years, but now it seems that I underestimated the restrictions of the Xuanhuang world.

The space used by the Xuanhuang World has increased. Shi Chen has connected it with his spiritual sense and has felt the changes in the Xuanhuang World. The second layer of restrictions has also begun to loosen, making refining more efficient. As long as he works hard for one or two years, he should be able to unlock the second layer of restrictions. By then, the Xuanhuang World may have new functions.

This place is not a good place for refining, and Shi Chen’s current cultivation level is not good enough, so he should focus on improving his cultivation level.

After carefully inspecting the underground palace and finding no omissions or flaws, Shi Chen slowly walked towards the exit passage of the underground palace.

Before he even walked out of the underground palace passage, Shi Chen discovered that someone was trying to break the formation at the entrance of the underground palace. The technique was quite childish, like a child playing with a knife.

After observing with spiritual sense for an hour behind the stone gate at the entrance of the underground palace, the Siren Formation Master should be a formation master who has just reached the third level. He is having some difficulty getting started with the fourth level compound formation. Many formation patterns are ignored, and the formation rebounds are often triggered. There are some unnecessary restrictions and the formation base is arranged randomly.

All these situations indicate that this sea monster formation master is breaking the formation randomly.

While Shi Chen was inserting a formation flag, causing the formation at the entrance of the underground palace to rebound and vibrate, he threw out a formation flag.
