The Portal of Wonderland - Chapter 562

Chapter 562: 562

Shi Mu did not ask anything . He released his spirit sense and started choosing his spirit land .

As soon as his spirit sense came into contact with the dark area, a more complete image of the map immediately formed in his mind .

Mountains, rivers, lakes… Everything was in front of him . This included information about the characteristics of these spiritual places .

Shi Mu observed the terrain of the second layer was entirely different from the first layer .

The first floor was basically full of forests while the second floor was mostly surrounded by mountains and rivers . There were many waterfalls around and each of the spirit sites had several waterfalls as well .

In addition, all these waterfalls looked a little different from ordinary waterfalls .

“Elder Hou, why are there so many waterfalls in this spirit land?” Shi Mu asked .

“These are not ordinary waterfalls, but spirit waterfalls,” Elder Hou said with a smile .

“Spirit waterfall?” Shi Mu glanced at them .

Elder Hou replied, “The spirituality of the second layer leans toward the water attribute which is very different from other places where their aura gathers . Over time, a spirit waterfall will form . These spirit waterfalls have rich auras which are highly suitable for building a cave residence or opening up a spirit land for planting . The quality of the land can be judged by the number of its waterfalls . ”

Shi Mu was stunned and nodded .

“It’s different from the first layer . This layer of spirit land can be expanded . In addition to the land, there are the waterfalls . If you want to expand your spirit range, you can also go to those wild areas, which are filled with waterfalls . However, most of them are occupied by monsters . You need to kill them in order to classify it as your own territory . ”

“I guess that’s the way it is…” Shi Mu muttered to himself .

Elder Hou’s face looked dignified as he explained, “Well, the higher-ups arranged such a situation to encourage one to develop more wild areas . If you’re able to gain a territory from a monster, it would be a huge achievement as those monsters in the wild areas are formidable . There were even beasts and monsters that reached their Saint Rank cultivation . ”

“Saint Rank cultivated beasts?!” Shi Mu took a cold deep breath . With the strength he currently possessed, he would definitely die in battle if he ever encountered one of them .

“In addition, between millennial disciples, the spirit waterfall can also be regarded as a kind of wealth . Some disciples would challenge each other and place their bets in an area within the range of the spirit waterfall . If they were to win, the spirit waterfall would be considered theirs,” Elder Hou said .

Shi Mu nodded . “I see . I understand everything now . Thank you for your teaching . ”

His spirit sense carefully explored the second-floor map . After half an hour, his eyes fell on a spirit land near the wilderness .

“Elder Hou, I’ve made up my decision . I choose this land,” Shi Mu said as he pointed his fingers at a spirit land surrounded by nine waterfalls .

With nine spirit waterfalls, the land he chose was a good location for meditation .

According to the information, this spirit land was left after a thousand-year-old disciple was promoted to a million-year-old disciple and thus sealed up by the Holy Land .

“Oh, this spirit land is so close to the wilderness . You have to be careful at all times . The monsters in the wild areas are feral and they often break into the spirit fields of the disciples,” Elder Hou reminded him .

Shi Mu heard his words and nodded .

“Yes, I understand . ”

He had chosen this spirit-land for other purposes . Since it was close to the wilderness, it was more convenient for him to explore the location of the treasure map left by the white azure ape ancestor . It would not easily attract the attention of the other disciples .

“Since you now have spirit land in the second-floor area, the residence on the first floor will be recycled for the sects according to the regulations . ”

“Yes, I understand,” Shi Mu said again, nodding .

Since Shi Mu made a choice, Elder Hou did not say anything more and began to wave a charm rune .

The bleak area suddenly brightened up and Shi Mu’s name appeared on it .

He also waved a blue light and fused it with Shi Mu’s Xuanling Wall . The mark from the first floor was erased and the proof of ownership for the new spirit land appeared .

After choosing a new residence, Shi Mu did not stay much longer and soon left .

…

Half a month passed on the second floor of the Holy Land in the Xuanjie region .

At the entrance to the Xuanling Tower, two or three hundred figures flashed as they appeared one after another .

The head of the group wore a green robe . He was tall and had distinct facial features . His eyes were golden and especially bright .

He stood with his hands straight . They were as pale as white jade . He gave the impression that he had mastered some unfathomable power . It was none other than Shi Mu .

About three hundred attendants followed close behind him, including Qi Feng .

All of them stood in front and looked forward, appreciating the scenery of the second floor .

In the middle of the sky, the white clouds were blossoming and huge mountain peaks rose from the ground . The mountains were green and there was a river running between them .

Above the peaks, a few huge silver waterfalls could be seen descending from the sky . The water rumbled and the mist rolled .

The Heaven and Earth qi were extremely rich here . It was definitely better than the first floor . Occasionally, a white mist came floating by from the mountains . There was a radiance flashing inside the mist . It was a kind of spirit fog that would apparently form when the qi of Heaven and Earth was incredibly rich .

“The Heaven and Earth aura here in the Xuanjie region is amazingly strong…”

“Look at the fog . It feels like it’s not of the mortal world . ”

“This is a fairyland…”

The attendants, who had limited knowledge regarding the second floor, were excited to witness such a scene with their own eyes .

Shi Mu had already seen the second floor, so he was not as surprised .

“In the future, you will all live here, so there will always be time to appreciate the beauty of the scenery . For now, let’s head over to our new cave residence,” Shi Mu said as a couple of floating clouds appeared to transport all of them .

A white cloud several tens of feet formed . At once, it rose high into the air and flew toward the new caving residence .

At his current level, his Qi Cloud Technique no longer had any time or distance restrictions, so he was able to fly for a long time . Although the speed was not as fast as his flaming wings, it was not slow by any means .

Most of the attendants were warriors . Many of them had never flown through the sky . As they sat on the white clouds, they had a little difficulty balancing themselves . After a while, they stabilized . They soon settled down and looked at the surrounding scenery with excitement, whispering among themselves .

The huge white cloud flew between the mountain peaks and deep into the Xuanjie region . The scenery on both sides was unparalleled .

Shi Mu stood on the cloud, but his eyes remained vigilant as he looked around him .

Not far from a spirit waterfall, a huge silver cascade fell from the sky . Clear white water and mist floated and flew around within a few dozen feet .

This mist seemed to be formed by the mixing of auras and it was everywhere around the waterfall . The aura of the Heaven and Earth qi was no doubt richer than any other place he had seen .

Beside the Spirit Waterfall, there were a lot of spirit plantations and materials around . It seemed that they were hundreds of years old .

Shi Mu let out a sigh of relief . This Xuanjie region was so much better than the yellow region . The aura was richer, the water vapor was abundant, and it was highly suitable for planting medicinal herbs .

However, he was not as close to the spirit waterfall and he had yet to pick one or two spirit herbs . Every spirit waterfall here had a lord of its own . All the property inside belonged to Qinglan, including the spirit lands without lords . It could not be claimed without prior permission .

The space in the Xuanjie region was extremely vast . With the Qi Cloud Technique, it had taken a full day before they finally arrived at his spirit land .

It was a vast expanse of mountains and several large rivers flowed through the middle .

There were five towering peaks in the mountain range, like five huge fingers pointing straight at the sky .

“This is indeed the spirit mountain on this blessed land . Such good terrain was faintly formed by a natural array . ”

This was the first time Shi Mu had been here . He could not help but look around him in satisfaction .

Qi Feng stood not far from Shi Mu and had to ask, “Young master, did any great battles happen here?”

“Look at the five peaks gathering together right there . The location is special as if the five fingers were closed . The aura from thousands of miles around gathers here . It will not leak out but become thicker by the hour . Such a formation cannot be easily found,” Shi Mu replied .

Listening to Shi Mu’s explanation, Qi Feng took a closer look and realized what he said was true . The aura of the five mountains was indeed richer than the outside which was quite a shock .

“However, this kind of natural phenomenon has many issues . It can only gather the aura of the Heavens and Earth to a certain extent . If it exceeds this limit, it will dissipate . It will be better if a barrier is placed around it . Unfortunately, it was probably arranged on the orders of the Holy Land . ” Shi Mu sighed as he shook his head . He waved at the crowd to continue their pace .

Nine spirit waterfalls were distributed among the five mountains . Some palatial buildings had been built near each of the waterfalls and much spirit land had been opened up, probably by the former master of the cave residence .

Currently, these facilities belonged to Shi Mu and he was able to utilize them .

“Qi Feng, you will still manage these spirit lands . The reward and punishment system is still the same and the attendants are to be assigned to the various waterfalls . Since there is much spirit land here, there’s no need to waste time . ” Shi Mu commanded .

“Well-said, young master!”

Qi Feng quickly nodded and immediately began to allocate all the attendants to their respective tasks .

Shi Mu had about three hundred attendants and he had no plans to add more into his service . If he divided thirty or forty of them to each of the spirit waterfalls, it would be enough .

Qi Feng then took out the seeds for all kinds of spirit herbs and arranged for the attendants to start planting .

Shi Mu looked and nodded his approval .

The way Qi Feng managed things was well-ordered and looked quite proper .

Qi Feng and others were busy with their tasks, and he was not idle either . He did a few laps in the mountains, going to every spirit waterfall and found that some barriers were set up .

These were prepared in advance and had cost him a lot of spirit stones .

His spirit land was close to the barren area . If a powerful monster were to appear, the barrier might be able to protect them .
