Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 44: Spring Space Opening

"Yes, clan leader, the East China Sea spring suddenly began to surge today, the water volume increased, and the water is rich in spiritual energy, with an inexplicable energy fluctuation. In addition, I also felt a strong breath of the dragon clan, which seems to be gradually recovering." Cangyue described the changes in the spring in detail. There was a hint of excitement in her voice. Obviously, this change made her feel surprised and delighted.

Meng Zheng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He was well aware of the importance of the East China Sea spring, and knew it contained dragon essence, making it an extremely precious cultivation resource for creatures with dragon blood. The sudden change in the spring could mean the dragon essence was reviving, or perhaps it indicated the spring's space was nearing completion.

He needed to go there in person to check out the actual situation of the spring.

"Let's go, let's go to the spring together and see what the reason is." After Meng Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and went to the East China Sea spring with Cangyue.

On the way to the East China Sea Spring, Meng Zheng kept thinking about possible situations in his mind.

When he arrived at the spring, he was shocked by what he saw.

The water flow of the spring is indeed more turbulent than before, and the water is clear and transparent, as if it can wash away all the dust in the world.

Moreover, the energy fluctuations emanating from the spring made him feel an unprecedented pressure.

Meng Zheng took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and began to carefully sense the energy fluctuations.

He discovered that a rich dragon essence was gushing out from it, constantly merging into the surrounding waters and transforming them.

The spring in the East China Sea has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The spring has now expanded a lot and is almost more than one person tall. If it gets bigger, maybe we can enter it and mine spiritual stones.

Gazing at the constantly surging water that exuded rich dragon essence, at this moment, the spring suddenly burst into an even brighter light, and an unprecedented energy wave gushed out from the spring and rushed straight into the sky.

Meng Zheng was shocked by this force and took a few steps back, but he quickly stabilized his body and continued to watch the changes in this force.

As the light faded, the waters surrounding the spring began to undergo dramatic changes. Ripples began to form on the previously calm surface, as if some mysterious power was brewing within. Meng Zheng knew this was a sign that the spring's space was about to fully open.

Meng Zheng and Cangyue stood in front of Dong Haiquan, witnessing this series of shocking changes, their hearts filled with both anticipation and nervousness.

Meng Zheng opened the East China Sea Spring attribute panel and finally saw that the East China Sea Spring progress bar jumped to 100%.

The spring burst out with strong light again. This time, the light seemed to contain some ancient and mysterious power, which made the entire space tremble.

After the light dissipated, the space around the spring seemed to be redefined. Powerful waves of spiritual energy rippled around, forming a natural barrier that isolated the spring from the outside world. Meng Zheng opened his eyes and found a vortex in the center of the spring. A faint dragon-shaped light and shadow could be seen swimming within it. It eventually transformed into a water mirror before completely calming down.

"Let's go, come with me in and take a look." Seeing that there was no more change in the East China Sea Spring, Meng Zheng couldn't wait to call Cangyue to go in together.

"Chief, there won't be any danger, right?" Although Cangyue trusted the chief very much, she was still a little hesitant considering the chief's safety.

"It's okay, this is the most precious treasure of our clan, there is no need to worry about any danger." Meng Zheng didn't care about Cangyue's worries.

The East China Sea Spring is an important building funded by the Dragon Clan. How could there be any danger there?

Slowly walking towards the water mirror that appeared from the East China Sea spring, Meng Zheng took a deep breath, and then stepped into the water mirror without hesitation.

As Meng Zheng entered, the water mirror rippled for a moment before returning to calm. Meng Zheng found himself in a space filled with spiritual energy and mystery. This vast space was filled with rich water spirits and dragon essence.

Meng Zheng could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy here was far greater than that of the outside world. For practitioners, it was simply an excellent treasure land.

Meng Zhengcai watched for a while, and then Cangyue rushed in.

"Cangyue, sense the concentration of spiritual energy in this spring space." Meng Zheng was not very clear about the sensing of the concentration of spiritual energy. He had to rely on specialized spiritual practitioners like Cangyue to fully grasp the concentration of spiritual energy in the East China Sea spring.

When stepping into this mysterious space, Cangyue's eyes began to flash, obviously shocked by the concentration of spiritual energy here.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and began to carefully sense the spiritual energy around her.

"Chief, the concentration of spiritual energy here... is simply incredible!" Cangyue's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief. "I have never felt such rich water spiritual energy. This place is simply a cultivation paradise for my mermaid clan!"

Meng Zheng was also excited when he heard this.

He knew very well what such a training environment meant to the Canghai tribe.

If the resources here can be fully utilized, the strength of the mermaids in the entire tribe will be greatly enhanced.

Looking around, I found that this space was not only rich in spiritual energy, but the water elements around it seemed to have life, swimming freely in the space, and were about to condense into dripping water droplets.

"Cangyue, how many people do you think can practice here?" Meng Zheng asked. Although the spring space has such a high concentration of spiritual energy.

But people cannot be allowed to enter here without restriction. No matter how high the concentration of spiritual energy is, there is a limit.

Not to mention that practitioners at different stages have different efficiencies in absorbing spiritual energy.

If there is no arrangement of practitioners to control the spring space, it is easy to cause the spiritual energy of the entire spring space to become unbalanced, causing unnecessary losses.

Cang Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "Clan leader, in my opinion, the spiritual energy in this spring space is rich enough to support the simultaneous cultivation of hundreds of clansmen of low to mid-level cultivation. However, considering that high-level cultivators consume a greater amount of spiritual energy, and that the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption varies significantly at different stages of cultivation, I suggest that we adopt a strategy of tiered management and time-limited cultivation."

"Hierarchical management?" Meng Zheng asked curiously.

Cang Yue nodded and explained, "Yes, we can divide the spring space into different cultivation areas based on the cultivation level of the clan members. Low-level cultivators will cultivate in the outer areas where the spiritual energy is relatively thin but stable, intermediate cultivators will cultivate in the middle areas, and advanced cultivators will cultivate in the core areas where the spiritual energy is the richest. This will ensure a relatively stable supply of spiritual energy in each area while preventing advanced cultivators from over-consuming the spiritual energy and causing an imbalance in the spiritual energy of the entire space."

"As for the time limit for cultivation," Cang Yue continued, "it's to balance the cultivation needs of cultivators of different levels, while protecting the spring space from damage caused by over-exploitation. We can set a limit on the cultivation time for each area. For example, low-level areas can cultivate for four hours a day, mid-level areas for three hours, and high-level areas for two hours. This will ensure that the clan members have sufficient opportunities to cultivate, while also ensuring the sustainable development of the spring space."

Meng Zheng's eyes flashed with approval when he heard this. He knew that Cang Yue's suggestion took into account both current needs and long-term interests, and was indeed a wise move.

"Alright, let's do as you say!" Meng Zheng made the final decision. "Immediately formulate a detailed training plan and arrange for the tribe members to enter the Spring Eye Space for training. Also, from now on, you will primarily guard the Spring Eye Space, and all matters within it will be handled by you."

Upon hearing this, Cangyue's eyes lit up with fighting spirit: "Yes, Patriarch! Just leave it to me!"
