Chapter 32 Cave Heaven and Paradise
【Xiao Xi, use a spirit object to recognize its master, and form a blood pact with it.】
Ning Xiaoxi forced out a drop of her own blood essence and dripped it onto the Spirit Crystal Heart, shouting, "With my blood, I pledge myself to the Spirit Crystal, to become one with it, and to embark on this journey together!"
After shouting, Ning Xiaoxi suddenly felt like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) and secretly decided that she would never shout slogans again.
The drop of essence blood quickly reached the core of the spirit crystal through the spiritual energy channel she had just opened. It seeped into the core of the spirit crystal little by little, and the struggle of the spirit crystal heart lessened a lot as the essence blood seeped in. Slowly, a clear "契" (qi, meaning contract) character appeared on the core of the spirit crystal heart, and the spiritual energy barrier around the spirit crystal heart suddenly disappeared.
Ning Xiaoxi saw a beam of spiritual light shoot into her heart, and on the spiritual crystal vein within the blessed land, the spiritual crystal heart was beating joyfully in the center of the vein.
Sensing the joyful emotions emanating from the Spirit Crystal Heart, Ning Xiaoxi also felt changes within her body. Just after the Spirit Crystal Heart entered her body, the spiritual veins that had been solidified like spirit crystal ore suddenly softened, no longer remaining stagnant, but transforming into living spiritual veins, exceptionally vibrant, with their spiritual energy contained and no longer dissipating.
Only then did the spiritual power feel like it was her own, rather than something imposed on her by the system.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the vast, empty cave and didn't rush back. Since arriving in this world, one thing after another had happened, and with Tuanzi's madness, she had suddenly gained many skills, which she wanted to learn about.
I found a large, relatively flat rock to sit on. [Tuanzi, let's take a look at my lucky spot!]
Ning Xiaoxi calmed herself down and entered the blessed land.
Passing through the mountain of spirit crystal ore, a large gate slowly appeared before them. The gate was cast in bronze and looked very dignified and imposing in the darkness. However, the gate was empty, with nothing on it, as if something was missing.
The door seemed to be right in front of her, and Ning Xiaoxi involuntarily reached out to push it.
The door looked heavy, but it was easy to push open, as if it knew that its owner was about to enter.
Upon entering this place, I felt that the space was very large but very clean, shrouded in mist, with nothing in sight.
Then, just like setting up a room, the spirit crystal ore that was originally lying outside the door automatically appeared in front of it, using spiritual power to create a world belonging to the spirit crystal.
As the white mist dissipated, a dreamlike spiritual lake came into view. The water was crystal clear, yet shimmered with an unusual seven-colored light, as if countless spiritual crystals slumbered at the bottom. Every ripple emanated a rich spiritual energy. Due to the surging spiritual power, a few drops of spiritual liquid occasionally splashed onto the lake's surface, forming a thin layer of spiritual mist, creating a truly enchanting scene.
Then, in the center of the lake, a small, exquisite island appeared. On the island, wondrous flowers and herbs, formed from spirit crystals, vied for attention, their blossoms as large as bowls, their colors vibrant and luscious, their petals even shimmering with starlight, as if fallen stars. The spiritual energy emanating from these flowers and herbs slowly permeated the entire space; inhaling it brought a sense of refreshment, as if the meridians of the body were being cleansed by the spiritual energy. At the center of the island was a massive cluster of spirit crystals, like a phoenix alighting on a parasol tree, overlooking the world with domineering presence. Spiritual energy flowed across its radiant surface, brimming with vibrant vitality.
As she stepped forward, a jade path winding along the lake unfolded beneath her feet, flanked by towering, spiritual trees that blocked out the sun. These trees reached for the clouds, their trunks covered in mysterious runes, their branches and leaves lush and verdant, each leaf like a meticulously carved piece of jade, swaying gently in the breeze and emitting a clear, melodious sound, as if they were softly chanting ancient songs.
Passing through the spirit wood passage, I felt the massive amount of spirit crystals flowing faster, and a magnificent spirit palace slowly appeared before my eyes.
The spirit hall was built from a single massive piece of spirit crystal stone, radiating a dazzling light. The hall's entrance was tall and wide, but it remained empty and undecorated. Inside, the floor was covered with soft spirit silk carpets, and the walls were inlaid with countless glowing spirit beads, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
Inside the hall, a massive spirit crystal fountain gushed forth spiritual liquid, which formed a dazzling mist in the air before dissipating into specks of spiritual light as it fell. The spirit crystal heart floated above the fountain, and at its very center, a drop of crimson blood was slowly spreading, as if forming its own veins.
Looking around, Ning Xiaoxi noticed that the only structures here were made of spirit crystals. Even the exotic flowers, rare herbs, and tall spirit trees were all formed from spirit crystals and lacked life. The entire hall was still empty; it seemed she needed to collect some good items to decorate the place.
Passing through the main hall, there are two spirit fields on each side. The boundaries of the spirit fields are surrounded by spirit crystal pillars that emit a soft light. Ancient runes are engraved on the pillars, as if telling mysterious stories of the past, or as if guarding this magical land.
Looking at the engraved runes, Ning Xiaoxi quickly turned her head back. Damn it, she had already awakened a mid-level rune ability, but she still couldn't understand it! She quickly looked down at the spirit field.
The soil of the spirit field is not ordinary mud, but a kind of spirit soil that exudes a dark luster. Its texture is delicate, like the finest silk, and each grain contains surging spiritual power, as if it were concentrated spirit crystal powder. Occasionally, tiny starlight will flicker in the spirit soil, just like stars falling from the night sky, or like the spiritual veins hidden deep in the earth breathing quietly, resonating with the spiritual energy in the outside world, forming a unique and stable spiritual energy circulation system.
Although they are currently empty, Ning Xiaoxi believes that they will soon become lively.
Further into the blessed land, there is a spirit crystal vein. The vein stretches out like an undulating mountain range, its surface covered with dense clusters of spirit crystals.
These clusters of spirit crystals come in various shapes, some like sharp swords, some like blooming lotuses, and some like mysterious compasses. They intertwine and exude a suffocating spiritual pressure. Within the mineral vein mountains, the power of the spirit crystals flows slowly like a tangible river, emitting a deep rumble, as if it were the heartbeat of this blessed land.
Ning Xiaoxi stood at the foot of the Spirit Crystal Mountain Range, looking back at the grand hall and the open bronze gate in the distance. This was her own blessed land. The fact that this mine contained so many spirit crystals, undiscovered, showed how well it had been preserved. In this era of gradually depleting spiritual energy, such abundant spiritual energy should have been enough to give birth to a great demon or demon lord, right? And this was after the spiritual source had been destroyed! Before the spiritual source was destroyed, it had produced so many great demons, demon lords, demon emperors, and countless powerful human beings. It was unimaginable how teeming with talent and how vibrant the Extreme Continent must have been back then!
Pulling back his wandering thoughts, he felt the almost overflowing spiritual energy. This Spirit Crystal Mountain and Water Palace would be even more perfect if it had some real mountains and trees, fragrant flowers and plants, and the sounds of insects and birds.
[Tuanzi, can animals live in this space?]
[System upgrade in progress...]
【Holy crap!】 Ning Xiaoxi looked at this familiar operation and suddenly didn't know how to complain.
