Chapter Fifty-Four: Heaven and Earth Spiritual Stone

  In the place where the disciples of the Knife Sword Sect gathered, the white-clothed youth was surrounded by many disciples of the Knife Sword Sect, just like a guard.

  "Young master, you said that red mineral stone, is it really a piece of the legendary Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit Stone?"

  With the disciples of Kensei as the center, an invisible boundary encloses them, and their conversations will not leak out.

  That proud and unruly pigeon was shocked, just now it was their young master, the white-clothed youth recognized the origin of that red mineral stone with a treasure sword inserted.

  This young master's identity is not ordinary, and even outside, no one can know. Only a few disciples within their sect who have received special training will know of the existence of the white-clothed youth. This time, the small change in the Flowing Sand Sea, they participated because they received instructions from above to secretly protect this white-clothed youth.

  "At least a 90% possibility."

  The young man in white nodded, and although he seemed calm on the surface, his voice had a slight tremble, revealing the turmoil and excitement within.

  He couldn't help but get excited!

  What is the Tian Di Ling Stone? I reckon very few people in this gathering know about it, and even if they've heard of it, it's just rumors. As for what the Ling Stone actually looks like, I'm afraid nobody knows.

  However, he has an extremely high status and possesses many invaluable letters of trust, among which is the Heavenly Spirit Stone, with very detailed descriptions and methods for identification.

  Between heaven and earth, there is a spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which is one of the sources of power for warriors and talismans.

  The practitioner opens up the true cavity, absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, uses the true lotus flower as the symbol's power, and stores it in the true cavity.

  It can be said that without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there would be no so-called martial artists or Taoist practitioners.

  However, the spiritual energy existing between heaven and earth is all free, extremely thin, and must be collected, absorbed, and refined by various means, with very low efficiency.

  Although there are also some special areas, such as the land of spiritual veins, where the density of spiritual energy is very high, it is still a free state of spiritual energy after all, and its density is limited.

  It is said that there are some spiritual springs that are even higher than the Lingmai, with spiritual energy almost liquefied. Such spiritual springs are extremely rare, and even the Knife Sword Symbol Sect, which is not a low-level sect in the Symbol Dao school, does not have the qualifications to occupy them. It is said that these spiritual springs are only available to a few top-level sects in the Void State.

  As for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Stone, it's even more advanced, that's formed after the spiritual energy crystallizes.

  The aura transforms from gas to liquid and then condenses into solid, the gap in between is simply too huge.

  The spiritual energy liquefies, crystallizes, and is not simply the liquefaction or solidification of gas. There are deeper mysteries and laws within it, and these mysteries and laws are what make the spiritual spring, heavenly earth spirit stone most precious.

  Why are there no strong practitioners beyond the Symbol Sect level in sects like the Sword Sect and the Knife Sect? The reason is that they cannot comprehend these profound principles, while the top-level sects have grasped all the profound principles possessed by the Spirit Spring.

  If this crimson ore is indeed a piece of Heaven and Earth Spirit Stone, its preciousness is beyond imagination, it's absolutely priceless. The Knife Sword Symbol Sect might be able to utilize this Heaven and Earth Spirit Stone to give birth to an expert surpassing the Symbol Sect level, thereby promoting them to a mid-grade Xuan-level sect, standing at the peak of the Void State, on equal footing with other top-tier sects.

  With such a precious Tian Di Ling stone, once it gets out, let alone the Wu Yuan Sect, even the top sects of Xū Zhōu will flock to it.

  After all, this is the Tian Di Ling Stone, which is one level higher than the Spiritual Spring, and the profound meaning and laws it contains must be even more perfect and dense.

  "For the rise of my Knife Sword Sect, this piece of Tian Di Huo Ling Stone must be taken into our hands. If we succeed, I will reward you all."

  A hint of madness appeared in the eyes of the young man in white clothes.

  In an instant, the many sword and knife symbol sect disciples around them were all excited and hot-blooded. As long as the sect prospered, these disciples would also benefit, let alone being meritorious, it was imaginable that they would receive the sect's key nurturing, and thus rise to great heights.

  "Master, what should we do? With that three-eyed sand snake around, it's hard to get the Tian Di Fire Spirit Stone, not to mention there are people from other sects."

  A senior explosive hole symbolist, Liu Minghui said.

  "Hmph, the people from other sects are nothing but mediocre, not worth mentioning. However, I still need to use them to tie down that three-eyed sand snake. As long as I can get within a zhang of the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit Stone, I can directly absorb it into my Su Mei Ring."

  The young man in white clothes, the young master, had sharp eyes and was extremely arrogant. His tone revealed a strong disdain for people from other sects, as if he was confident that he would obtain the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit Stone.

  "Young master, just give us your orders and we will go all out to assist you in obtaining the Heaven and Earth Fire Spirit Stone."

  The dove hastened to express its loyalty.

  If he could seize this opportunity and become the young master's confidant, his future in the Knife Sword Symbol Sect would be even brighter.

  Others also responded promptly.

  The young man in white was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

  There were three-eyed sand snakes present, and everyone gathered around the pit didn't dare make a move.

  At the time of the stalemate, a young man walked out of the Knife Sword Symbol Sect. It was that Ji Bu Ming. His expression was proud and his eyes were cold and sharp, revealing a sense of disdain for the symbol wielders of other sects.

  "Everyone, waiting like this isn't a solution. Why don't we join forces and get rid of that three-eyed sand snake first, then divide the treasures in the sand pit?"

  The gaze of the silent pigeon swept across the positions of several groups, including the Unspoken Symbol Sect and the Dream Fantasy Symbol Sect. As for those small sects, scattered cultivators, and warriors, he didn't even give them a glance. In his eyes, they were not worth worrying about. The only ones worthy of his attention were the people from those major sects.

  "That's no problem."

  The wordless Master Weng said.

  Although I don't know what that ore is, the treasure sword is extremely valuable. Even if it can't be used, it can be contributed to the sect and exchanged for a generous contribution value.

  Not to mention those three-eyed sand snakes worth 300,000 contribution points!

  The people of several other major factions also agreed.

  After all, the three-eyed sand snake is not something that a single sect can hunt and kill alone. Once attacked, it will definitely suffer heavy losses, and may even be completely wiped out.

  So unity is inevitable.

  "If we are to unite, then we should also elect a temporary commander; otherwise, everyone will be on their own, and it will be like a plate of loose sand."

  The pigeon didn't make a sound, its gaze swept around, and it proudly said: "My Knife Sword Symbol Sect has eight high-level Explosive Hole Symbol Masters, ranking first among all sects, with the strongest power. It's only natural that I become this temporary commander. You all shouldn't have any objections, right?"

  "Is it just a matter of having strong abilities to become a conductor? I, Xiao Han, also want to try being this temporary conductor."

  The young man in gray clothes who was silent all along suddenly said faintly.

  His voice was cold, as if the air around the sandy ground had become bleak and chilly, with a cold wind blowing, making people's hearts chill!

  "You're Xiao Han, aren't you? The ninth-ranked inner disciple on the Symbolic Sect's ranking chart. Very good, very good..."

  The dove did not make a sound, but suddenly the sword on its back moved violently, transforming into a strange sword light that rose up. The sword light shook and split into eighty-one paths, which then combined to form a mysterious symbol. This was the technique of turning sword energy into symbols, revealing that the dove had achieved great success in its cultivation of the sword path.

  The path of sword cultivation, apart from the realm of willpower, also has the realm of cultivation. At first, it is the layer of sword energy, purely controlling the sword energy, and then there is the layer of sword symbols, which transforms the sword energy into symbol attacks, true symbol attacks that can be either a combination of divided sword energies or intertwined twisted sword energies, etc. In short, this method of transforming sword energy into symbols is much more powerful than the layer of sword energy.

  With a gentle and smooth gesture like flowing water, one can see that he has already made great achievements in the art of sword energy transformation.

  Wow!

  The sword energy combined into a rune, suddenly pressed down on the gray-clothed young man Xiao Han.

  On this sword aura rune, there is a breathtaking aura, which is the sword intent. The sword aura rune that has merged with the sword intent has an even greater momentum and can exert immense mental pressure on the target.
