Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1409 Vajra Mountain, a Spatial Treasure

With the high-ranking combatants of the Golden Crab Clan either dead or fled, leaving the group leaderless, the remaining crab demons on the island were powerless to mount an effective resistance when the expeditionary force of the Great Han Dynasty set foot on Golden Ring Island.

The expeditionary soldiers, arrayed in battle formation, swept across the island as if it were empty, slaughtering the crab demons until their blood flowed like a river.

Just as his wife and children were leading the army to wipe out the remaining crab demons, Liu Changxu had already descended upon Crab God Mountain, where the ninth-tier spiritual vein of Golden Ring Island was located.

This mountain is located in the center of the island, with its towering peaks reaching into the clouds. It is often shrouded in misty clouds and is filled with strangely shaped pines and rocks. Waterfalls and springs cascade down the mountain, making the scenery extremely serene and magnificent.

At the foot of the mountain, a lake, like a bright mirror, is embedded in the earth. Its rippling blue waves reflect the majestic mountain shadows and swirling clouds, creating a picturesque scene where the mountains and water complement each other.

Liu Changxu stood atop Crab God Mountain, his robes fluttering in the mountain wind. His eyes were slightly closed, and an overwhelming divine sense suddenly spread out, sweeping across the entire Crab God Mountain like an invisible tide. The textures of the rocks, the veins of the vegetation, and the direction of the spiritual veins beneath the earth instantly appeared clearly in his mind.

In a short while, his divine sense precisely locked onto the mountainside, where there was a cave hidden by an array. Although it was well-concealed, it could not escape his detection.

The cave was faintly permeated with the pure spiritual energy unique to a ninth-order spiritual vein, and even contained a trace of the residual aura of the Golden Crab King, which was obviously the location of the Crab King's cave.

Liu Changxu's lips curled up slightly, and with a swift movement, he swept towards the mountainside like a streak of light, landing almost instantly in front of the cave hidden by the array.

After a brief examination of the formation in front of the cave, Liu Changxu immediately understood its intricacies. Although the formation was personally set up by the ninth-tier Crab King, it was only through his formidable cultivation that it was managed to do so. The formation base was arranged haphazardly, and the connections between the runes were riddled with flaws, clearly demonstrating the Crab King's crudeness in the art of formations.

His gaze swept across the core of the formation, and with a slight flick of his fingertips, a condensed beam of spiritual light shot out, striking precisely the weakest point of the formation. With a soft "crack," the light barrier enveloping the cave shook violently like ripples on water, then shattered inch by inch, completely dissipating without a trace.

The cave entrance suddenly opened wide, and a surge of pure spiritual energy, several times richer than that outside, rushed in. It carried the unique warmth of the spiritual vein and flowed into every part of the body, instantly making one feel refreshed and invigorated, and dispelling some of the fatigue from the fierce battles of the past few days.

Without hesitation, Liu Changxu strode into the cave.

Inside the cave was a completely different world. The interior space was extremely vast, resembling a magnificent underground palace.

The ceiling of the cave is inlaid with dozens of luminous pearls, each the size of a human head. As the pearls shimmer, they illuminate the entire hall as if it were daytime, and even the patterns in the cracks between the bricks are clearly visible.

The ground beneath my feet was paved with smooth, polished golden jade bricks. The bricks gleamed with a warm luster, and a faint golden light flowed between the brick seams. When I stepped on them, I could feel wisps of spiritual energy flowing into my body through the soles of my feet.

Around the main hall stood dozens of giant golden pillars that required two people to encircle, each pillar carved with reliefs of powerful crab warriors—some with their giant pincers outstretched, fighting against powerful enemies; some entrenched in the deep sea, breathing in and out spiritual energy; and some even with wings on their backs, seemingly about to soar into the heavens.

The reliefs are sharp and detailed, with even the patterns on the crab shell and the fierce glint in its eyes depicted vividly. From a distance, they seem as if they are about to break free from the stone pillars and burst out of the wall at any moment.

Deep within the cave, a spiritual spring about ten feet wide was gushing forth, with wisps of spiritual mist rising from its source, spreading out like a light veil, illuminating the surroundings in a hazy yet dazzling way.

This is the source of the ninth-grade low-level spiritual vein. Pure spiritual energy gathers and flows here, giving the entire cave a touch of ethereal fairyland.

Liu Changxu surveyed the area, his gaze sweeping over the treasures and carved pillars. He was quite satisfied with the layout and spiritual energy concentration of the cave. He then released his divine sense to investigate further, and suddenly, a rockery about ten feet high beside the spiritual spring caught his attention.

Although the artificial hill is exquisite and unique, it subtly reveals a faint spatial fluctuation.

"It's actually a high-level spatial magic treasure?"

Liu Changxu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stepped forward, bending down to examine it closely. His fingertips probed the artificial hill with magical power, and after a thorough examination, his smile deepened:

This artificial mountain is actually an eighth-grade top-quality spatial spiritual treasure, with its own universe inside, and its value far exceeds that of ordinary spiritual treasures.

Overjoyed by this discovery, he immediately sat down cross-legged, preparing to refine this innate spiritual treasure. However, just as his divine sense was about to touch the core of the treasure, the artificial mountain suddenly trembled slightly, and a childlike phantom emerged from the crack in the stone—it was the spirit of the treasure.

"Who are you? How dare you touch my true form!"

The spirit roared angrily in a childish voice, its body radiating a faint spiritual light. It actually charged into Liu Changxu's consciousness, clearly struggling to resist and try to stop his refining process.

Instead of being annoyed, Liu Changxu smiled, his divine sense enveloping the artifact spirit like a gentle yet irresistible tide:
"From now on, I am your new master. Behave yourself, and you will reap the rewards."

After saying that, he activated his cultivation technique, and a wisp of pure and powerful magic power slowly flowed into the artificial mountain, forcibly erasing the remaining crab roe aura on it.

The spirit initially put up a stubborn resistance, its childlike phantom baring its fangs and claws, trying to stop Liu Changxu from refining it.

However, it was facing a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage, and with its rank and strength, it was utterly powerless to resist. Moreover, its former master was dead, leaving it isolated and helpless, unable to hope for even the slightest outside help. Resistance was futile, and after several struggles, the artifact spirit finally withered, its phantom becoming dim, no longer able to resist, and could only allow Liu Changxu's divine sense to completely penetrate the core of the spiritual treasure and complete the refinement.

The instant the ritual ended, the scene within Mount Vajra clearly appeared in his mind:

It was a vast land, piled high with all sorts of high-grade spiritual materials, like small mountains.

“Master, the original master called me Mount Kumgang.”

At this moment, the spirit's voice carried a hint of timidity, clearly indicating that he had just been severely reprimanded by Liu Changxu!
"It was snatched from a human powerhouse by its original owner. It had accumulated high-level spiritual treasures for hundreds of years, and most of them were hidden here."

Liu Changxu's lips curled slightly as he gently stroked the surface of the artificial mountain. This Vajra Mountain was not only a rare eighth-grade top-quality spatial treasure, but the treasures inside were also an unexpected delight, enough to further enrich the foundation of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.

However, what he was most concerned about was the ninth-tier spiritual items inside. After a quick look, he found that the quantity of high-grade spiritual gold materials inside was quite considerable, enough to upgrade his remaining innate spiritual treasures that had not yet advanced to the ninth tier.

However, it was not the time to take stock yet, so he stored Mount Vajra in his dantian to nurture it.
