24 Spirit Gathering Formation, Spirit Suppressing Stele!

After storing the Immortal Ginseng into his spatial ring, Li Changsheng turned to Chang'e and asked, "Chang'e, do you find anything else here? Please help me take a look."

If it weren't for Chang'e, Li Changsheng might have failed to discover the treasure and returned with an empty hand. He was sure that if he missed this holy medicine, he might not be able to sleep soundly for a long time in regret.

So, instead of searching aimlessly by himself, he decided to request Chang'e's assistance. By doing so, he might be able to find another hidden treasure in this place.

Chang'e nodded lightly and pointed to the place where the Immortal Ginseng was hidden previously.

"There's a weird pattern over there."

There used to be a wall standing there before, but it was now broken—destroyed by Li Changsheng's attack. Behind the wall seemed to be another path, but it was obscured by a thick layer of fog, limiting his vision.

But strangely, Chang'e seemed to be able to see through it even though Li Changsheng, who was now at the peak of the Spirit Gathering realm, failed to do so.

Despite so, Li Changsheng didn't doubt Chang'e's word. He had experienced her peculiarity firsthand, so he knew that Chang'e told him the truth.

"Okay, let's take a look." Without second thought, Li Changsheng took Chang'e's hand and led her through the hole in the wall.

Entering the fog, Li Changsheng felt slightly disoriented but still pushed forward along the path, while Chang'e quietly followed from behind.

Not long after, they seemed to be arriving at the end of the road; the fog started clearing up, and what greeted them was a completely different scenery, as if they were transported into a different world.

What was originally a dark and gloomy hidden maze-like structure had turned into a vast expanse of forest garden, full of life and vitality.

In the center of the garden was a large, empty space with a mysterious and complex pattern carved on its surface.

The spiritual energy in the surrounding area seemed to be rushing from all directions towards that place, forming what looked like a whirlpool of energy with a strange pattern as its core, like a hungry beast opening its jaw and devouring all the spiritual energy nearby in one big gulp.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng gasped in shock, and his eyes stared greedily at the pattern on the ground.

"This is actually the center of a massive Spirit Gathering Formation!"

Li Changsheng wasn't unfamiliar with this kind of formation; it served a purpose for condensing spiritual energy into one specific spot, creating an area with a spiritual energy density a dozen times denser than the area outside the range of this formation.

However, not everybody could afford to set up a Spirit Gathering Formation, as it required an enormous amount of resources.

A small-scale Spirit Gathering Array was enough to swallow a decade worth of resources for a small sect. The larger the scale, the higher the consumption rate would be.

That was why only a few forces in Eastern Desolate possessed a large-scale Spirit Gathering Formation, despite its significant benefit for their cultivation.

Even the Great Desolate Kingdom only had three large-scale spirit gathering formations, and one of them was installed in the palace.

Moreover, the largest Spirit Gathering Formation in the kingdom only covered a radius of ten kilometers; the further the location from the center, the less the effect would be.

"From the look of it, it might be able to cover an area more than a hundred kilometers in radius! When compared to this formation, the kingdom's Spirit Gathering Formation looked like a defective product!"

Li Changsheng sighed deeply, imagining how many resources were spent to set up this formation and which prodigal rich man was insane enough to actually turn this enormous gold eater into reality.

From his estimation, even if the treasury of the Great Desolate Kingdom were to be swept clean, it still wasn't enough to complete this prodigal project.

If the Great Desolate Kingdom learned of the existence of such a large spirit gathering array, it would be impossible for them to leave it alone for such a long time.

Fortunately, no one but Li Changsheng could trespass the life-sucking formation outside safely, so this precious treasure ultimately ended up in his hand; otherwise, it wasn't his—a mere Spirit Gathering cultivator—turn to obtain this fortune!

"Since the Spirit Gathering Formation is here… so where's the Spirit Suppressing Stele?"

The Spirit Suppressing Stele was the core of a large-scale Spirit Gathering Formation.

Through the Spirit Suppressing Stele, it was possible to directly withdraw and release the spirit gathering formation, control the speed at which the spirit-gathering formations absorb spiritual energy, and even arrange killing formations in the spirit-gathering formations.

Only by obtaining it would he be able to completely put this formation under his control and become its master.

So, Li Changsheng started to search in the nearby area with the expectation of finding this crucial treasure, but after searching for a while, he still didn't manage to find the Spirit Suppressing Stele.

At this moment, Chang'e suddenly asked, pointing at one particular inconspicuous corner with her gaze. "Changsheng, are you looking for that thing?"

Li Changsheng looked over; narrowing his eyes in scrutiny, he finally noticed a trace of spatial fluctuations in that area, albeit faintly.

'The Spirit Suppressing Stele must be there!'

Li Changsheng suppressed the joy in his heart and hurriedly went over; upon arriving at the spot where the trace seemed to be most visible, the Ancient Desolate Demon Saber hummed, sending a ripple of energy through the air.

Soon, a palm-sized stone stele fell from the void.

"This is the Spirit Suppressing Stele!"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng was overjoyed and immediately extended his hand to catch the stone tablet.

"Chang'e, you're really my lucky star!"

Excited, Li Changsheng suddenly caught Li Changsheng by her waist, lifted her with his two hands, and their bodies spun together a few times in the air before pulling her into an embrace and pressing his lips into hers.

If it weren't for Chang'e, Li Changsheng might not be destined to obtain this precious treasure at all.

"Mm... Mmm!"

As Li Changsheng kissed her more vigorously, her muffled moans became more and more arousing.

Finally, he released the young woman from his embrace, and she fell back onto her feet.

Her stoic face showed a slightly flushed complexion, and her breath was slightly ragged. She lowered her head, seemingly too embarrassed to meet Li Changsheng's gaze directly.

Seeing her timid appearance, a big grin spread on Li Changsheng's lips. This little fairy was too adorable.

His eyes once again set on the small stone tablet, which was now resting on his palm. With the Spirit Suppressing Stele, the Spirit Gathering Place in this place finally fell into his hand.

He immediately channeled his spiritual energy into it, and in the next second, the surrounding space trembled and the spiritual energy in the air started to boil.

A gust of wind blew by, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

In a blink of an eye, Li Changsheng and Chang'e returned to the original spot back in the mysterious ruin once more, as if what they experienced previously was just a dream or illusion.

However, the stone tablet emitting a brilliant light in his hand proved otherwise.
