Qin Chen knew that in the ancient heavens, the Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely dense, some of which infiltrated into the ground, settled, and combined with countless underground crystals to form a Saint Vein.
Now, however, the Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth in the heavens has begun to thin, making it difficult to form such a top-level, gigantic Saint Vein.
However, for major forces to develop, they must have large Saint Veins to sustain themselves. Otherwise, relying solely on disciples to absorb the free-floating Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth would take countless years to cultivate. It's manageable to break through from Human Saint to Earth Saint, but to ascend from Earth Saint to Heaven Saint requires endless Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth. Simply breathing it from the atmosphere wouldn't accumulate enough in a lifetime.
Therefore, the competition among some top-level forces often involves seizing each other's ancient Saint Veins. Only with ancient Saint Veins can they have a chance for survival and growth.
In Qin Chen's view, the most valuable thing in the entire Yan Luo Secret Realm is this ancient Saint Vein underground. Although this Saint Vein has been mostly consumed over millions of years, leaving less than ten percent of its original power, it is still incredibly formidable.
He now intends to use great magical powers to extract it, uproot it entirely, and store it in the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Disc to prepare for his future breakthrough to Heaven Saint.
The Spirit Vein beneath the Yan Luo Secret Realm is the largest within the Wan Hua Mountain Range of Yunzhou. It contains endless Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth and even possesses its own spirituality.
It requires the magic corpse of the Yan Luo Holy Master to suppress it, using magical power to bind it, slowly extracting its Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth, refining it to become the power that operates the entire Yan Luo Secret Realm.
Of course, ancient Saint Veins aren't composed solely of ancient Holy Qi. They also contain underground forces, various terrifying attributes, and residual thoughts from countless Demon Tribe members who fell in ancient battles.
After absorbing the Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth from this ancient Saint Vein, it must be further refined to transform into pure Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth for absorption or into elixirs.
Refining and purifying Holy Qi is also a complex process and is an essential skill for every martial artist.
However, the method Qin Chen uses to refine ancient Holy Qi is beyond what ordinary strong individuals can compare to.
By extracting and sealing this gigantic ancient Saint Vein into the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Disc, and using the Sky Patch technique and the power of time, he can completely refine it into a torrent of Holy Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Moreover, the growth of the Ten Thousand Worlds Demon Tree also requires such an ancient Saint Vein for nourishment; the one collected before was simply insufficient.
Without Qin Chen even needing to act, the loss of the Yan Luo Holy Master's magic corpse's suppression has made this ancient Saint Vein eager to transform into a giant dragon and soar into the sky.
"Collect!"
Qin Chen's gaze was cold and piercing as he struck the ground with hundreds of hand seals. Countless Earth Saint origins penetrated underground, beginning to seal the ancient Saint Vein. The earth trembled, mountains crumbled, rivers broke, and the entire Yan Luo Secret Realm seemed like it was facing the apocalypse.
"Chen Shao, let us assist you!"
Ao Lie and others took action, roaring as each of them made powerful strikes.
Boom! Eighteen top-level experts striking together was an incredible scene, and Ao Lie was a half-step Heaven Saint. This immense power suppressed the ancient Saint Vein, yet it remained unmoved, still flying upwards to leave. What terrifying power is this?
"Hmph, submit to this Young Master."
Qin Chen snorted coldly, divine light burst from his eyes, and within his body, his lungs vibrated as the virtual shadow of the Sky Patch Hammer shook lightly.
