Chapter 1218 Falling short of success

Chapter 1218: Failure at the Last Moment

"Didn't they transfer the fourth-order spirit veins and a part of the third-order spirit veins to the chaotic land a long time ago? Why are they moving the first-order and second-order spirit veins now?" A god from outside the domain couldn't help but ask.

Another foreign god sneered and said disdainfully: "These Great Wilderness Realms are short of resources. These local gods have never seen the world and are afraid of poverty. They even treat such low-level spirit veins as treasures. It's too cheap."

"Hmph, when we complete the merger of the two worlds, these local gods will be like fish on the chopping board, ready for us to slaughter." Another foreign god sneered.

After half a month of unremitting efforts, hundreds of thousands of spiritual veins of all sizes in the surrounding area were continuously integrated into the spiritual network.

The Wanxiang Guizhen Cauldron was running at full capacity, and the Candlelight Eye totem on the cauldron exuded a mysterious black charm.

As the cauldron swung, the spiritual energy in these hundreds of thousands of spiritual veins was drained once again.

With the support of powerful energy, the tentacles of the spiritual net continued to extend forward, expanding towards the ice field with difficulty.

After consuming the spiritual energy of hundreds of thousands of spiritual veins, the spiritual network finally succeeded in extending another 10 billion miles.

However, even though so many spirit stones and spirit veins were consumed, the distance extended by the spirit network was less than half.

It is still very far away from the ice field stronghold.

The 20 gods were all frowning and filled with melancholy.

They never expected that after such tremendous efforts, they would ultimately fail.

"Now the cultivators in the Land of Chaos have been allocated so many spirit stones that their lives have become even more difficult. We promised before that we would compensate them double once we have extracted enough spiritual energy and restored the spirit veins. But given the current situation, I'm afraid we can only break our promise." Long Xinghe said helplessly.

"This Wanxiang Guizhen Cauldron is simply a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy you put in, it will be swallowed up completely. I don't know whether this Wushen City is a blessing or a curse for us." The exiled fairy also sighed.

Everyone looked at the tentacles of the spiritual network that extended to less than half the distance in front of them, and felt disappointed when they thought that the huge resources invested before had been wasted.

This allegation not only consumed a large amount of spirit stones allocated by the cultivators, but also required the transfer of many large and small spirit veins from the Great Wilderness Realm. However, the final result was still a failure, which was really frustrating.

"No, I absolutely cannot give up!" Zhang Xuan was determined, "No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I must successfully connect the spiritual network to the ice field."

Henry Zhang made up his mind.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind—in the Divine Realm Daozang, there was a broken fifth-level spiritual vein.

The origin of this spiritual vein is not simple. It was originally captured by the corpse of the Samadhi Emperor and used to supply energy to the entire Bone Desert Illusion.

Later, the Bone Desert Illusion was included in the Divine Realm Taoist Canon. The Ancient Desert Illusion Array in the Divine Realm Taoist Canon started to operate automatically, absorbing the power of the terrifying existence of the Yin-Yang Face, thereby gaining enough energy. This broken fifth-level spirit vein seemed to have disappeared.

“If we can find this broken fifth-order spiritual vein from the Divine Realm Taoist Canon and use it as fuel for the All Things Returning to Truth Cauldron, the tentacles of the spiritual network will surely be able to extend further and successfully complete the rest of the journey.” The more Zhang Xuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. With an excited heart, he immediately stepped into the Divine Realm Taoist Canon again.

As soon as he entered the Divine Domain Taoist Canon, what caught Zhang Xuan's eyes was still the endless river of blood that exuded a strange aura.

He moved forward along the blood river and soon arrived at the gray snowy mountain area.

Continuing to go deeper, we arrived at the Bone Desert Illusion.

At this time, the Bone Desert Illusion had become much quieter due to the suppression of the body of the ancient powerful man from the Burial Sky Mausoleum.

“I don’t know who this ancient powerful man in the Burial Sky Mausoleum is. Even the corpse of the Samadhi Emperor treated him with great respect and didn’t dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.” Zhang Xuan was full of curiosity.

It is precisely because of the suppression of the corpse of this powerful man from the Burial Sky Mausoleum that Zhang Xuan's safety here is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan is now in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even if the Bone Desert Illusion becomes active again, he has enough ability to escape.

At the edge of the Bone Desert Illusion, Zhang Xuan activated the Tianshu Dharma Eyes, and in an instant, a vast natural formation appeared before his eyes.

I saw lines in the formation flowing continuously like wriggling worms, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

"Once this natural formation is formed, its power may reach above level eight. After all, this is the formation left behind by the corpse of Samadhisatta." Zhang Xuan marveled inwardly.

Through the Tianshu Dharma Eyes, he could still see the shadow of the Samadhi Emperor, with his feet facing the sky and his hands facing downwards.

He inserted his hands into the mysterious creature with yin-yang face, continuously drawing energy from it.

Zhang Xuan's Tianshu Dharma Eyes carefully observed the hands of Samadhi Human Emperor.

He clearly remembered that the last time he saw Samadhi Emperor's hands, he was holding the broken fifth-order spiritual vein in them, and this was exactly the purpose of his entering the Divine Realm Taoist Canon this time.

However, at this moment, the broken fifth-level spiritual vein disappeared.

Zhang Xuan activated his Tianshu Dharma Eyes and began to search carefully around.

"This fifth-level spiritual vein must have taken the opportunity to escape when the corpse of the Samadhisatta was fighting with the terrifying Yin-Yang-Faced Being. Moreover, it must not be far from here."

Therefore, Zhang Xuan started searching within billions of miles around the Bone Desert Illusionary Realm. During these ten days, he worked tirelessly and did not miss any corner.

Finally, on the edge of the Divine Realm Daozang, he discovered the curled up and broken fifth-order spiritual vein.

Zhang Xuan immediately took out the fifth-level black chain formation, instantly locked the fifth-level spirit vein that was about to escape, and then quickly brought it out of the Divine Realm Taoist Canon.

When the other Divine Transformation cultivators saw the fifth-order spiritual vein locked by Zhang Xuan, shock was written all over their faces.

"The Taoist can actually take out a fifth-order spirit vein?! This is simply incredible!" A Divine Transformation cultivator widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"No way? Could it be that he went to the spiritual land of the Lord of the World and dug out the fifth-level spiritual vein of the Lord of the World?" another Divine Transformation cultivator guessed.

"Impossible. The restrictions set up outside the territory of the Lord of the World are extremely powerful. Even a great cultivator of the Void Refining Realm may not be able to break them easily. How is it possible for the Taoist to enter the territory of the Lord of the World?" A Divine Transformation cultivator immediately retorted.

"Well, take a closer look. The spiritual vein in the hands of the Taoist is indeed different from the spiritual vein in the territory of the World Lord. The fifth-level spiritual vein in the territory of the World Lord must be complete, while the fifth-level spiritual vein in the hands of the Taoist is obviously broken. The remaining power is less than one tenth of that of a complete fifth-level spiritual vein." An observant Divine Transformation cultivator analyzed.
