Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 208 Repairing the Cave, Achieving a Breakthrough

[Tomb - 2 stars]

[Building Introduction]: A place where the power of death converges, wisdom is gathered and knowledge is stored. Wise men among the undead are reborn here, transforming into liches skilled in magic.

I recruited a dragon lich, and it even came with the blueprints for the [Tomb]. What a profitable deal!

"Next, you will be responsible for building a mausoleum in the territory. Whatever materials you need, the territory will do its best to collect them for you!"

Lu Feng assigned the task of building the tomb to the Dragon Lich and the Demon Witch.

Since Gwitch had just joined Blackrock Territory and was not yet familiar with his old subordinates like Beverly, having him oversee the construction of the tomb would allow him to quickly integrate into the territory's affairs and also enable him to get to know his other undead subordinates through cooperation, establishing basic relationships and avoiding any gaps in coordination during subsequent battles.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, my lord!"

The witch immediately patted her withered chest and assured him, the soul fire in her eye sockets flickering.

He has lived for hundreds of years and is not only proficient in necromancy, but also once worked in a vast undead territory, so he knows the construction process of undead buildings like the back of his hand.

For him, overseeing the construction of a 2-star [tomb] was not difficult at all.

It depends on whether there are enough undead materials in Blackrock Territory. If not, the wizard will need to find a way to obtain the resources needed to build the [Tomb].

The dragon lich, Gewu, accepted Lu Feng's mission, and the hero Ironwall also took the initiative to chat with him, helping Gewu familiarize himself with everything in Blackrock Territory.

Lu Feng nodded in agreement. With Iron Wall and Dragon Lich helping each other, he should soon see a new [Tomb] building added to the Bone Spire.

At that time, Blackrock Territory will have another lich warrior, and the strength of the undead army will be further enhanced.

The Dragon Lich and Ironwall left together, while Lu Feng stayed behind to inspect the Green Dragon's abandoned cave.

This is indeed the heart of Roland Forest. Standing in the center of the cave and taking a deep breath, you can feel the rich natural elements flowing around you. The freshness of the grass and trees, the weight of the earth, and the moisture of the water vapor intertwine, making even the air feel fresher than in the surrounding forest.

Even more astonishing is the underground, where the earth's veins surge beneath your feet, and you can vaguely sense the surging power of the earth's veins converging here, forming a natural energy node.

These uniquely favorable conditions are comparable to the renowned blessed lands and grotto-heavens of the Liang Kingdom in the world of cultivation.

If a cultivation cave is built here, the speed of cultivation will definitely be twice as fast.

However, these favorable natural conditions have now been destroyed beyond recognition.

Lu Feng's gaze swept over the pile of bones on the ground and the six-pointed star array in the center, and his brows furrowed slightly.

It was when the dragon shaman, the demon shaman, and the witch occupied this place that they used a large number of monster corpses to build a magic circle, drawing in the death energy to erode the cave day and night, making the death energy in the cave so abundant that it was like a solid black fog, and the eerie atmosphere overwhelmed the original natural vitality.

The stone walls that once shone with spiritual light were now stained black with deathly energy, and the flow of earth vein power became sluggish. If the core earth vein had not been broken, this treasure land would probably have long since become a lair of the dead, and not a trace of natural spiritual charm could be found again.

Lu Feng summoned Jade Cicada Daoist and several cultivators under his command. As soon as they stepped into the cave, they were astonished by the sight before them.

The Jade Cicada Daoist stroked his beard, circled the six-pointed star formation, and looked at the stone walls polluted by death energy and the stagnant earth veins. He couldn't help but sigh with heartache:
"This treasure land, comparable to the blessed lands of Longhu Mountain and Jingang Temple in Liang Kingdom, has been ruined by a single undead creature! Look at how badly the ley lines have been disturbed; it will probably take at least ten or eight years of purification to restore its former vitality. It's such a pity, such a waste!"

The others nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with regret.

Such a natural haven for spiritual practice has fallen into such a state; it would break anyone's heart to see it like this.

“Indeed, I’ve recently been looking for a good place to cultivate my supernatural powers. Take a look, do you think this place has a chance to be restored to its original state?”

Lu Feng nodded, affirming the analysis of Daoist Yu Chan and the others.

They also sought solutions from Daoist Yuchan and others.

After a moment of contemplation, the Jade Cicada Daoist said:

"There is a way to restore it, of course, but before that, we need to move this skeleton array away, clean up the accumulated death energy here, and then set up an array to gather natural vitality, along with planting some spiritual plants to slowly nurture it. It will take some time to restore this place to its original state!"

The Jade Cicada Taoist's proposal was logically clear and highly feasible.

Lu Feng pondered for a moment, then decided that this matter could both repair the sacred site and regulate the facilities for the undead, and immediately took action:
"Let's do as the Taoist priest says!"

Lu Feng summoned the dragon lich, Ge Wu, who had just left, back. Although Ge Wu did not know the reason, he did not hesitate to obey the lord's order and took the initiative to cooperate with everyone to dismantle the bone magic array.

The group dismantled the skeletal magic array in the abandoned cave of the Green Dragon, and moved it, along with the witch's coffin, to the lower level of Lu Feng's skeletal spire.

The lower level of the Bone Spire had long been transformed by necromantic energy. The deathly aura permeating the air was as thick as ink, several times more intense than the deathly aura gathered by the magic array in the Green Dragon Cave. Moreover, the energy was stable, making it a more suitable "resting place" for the dead.

As Gewu followed the others into the lower level of the spire to investigate, the soul fire in his eye sockets instantly flared up a bit.

The death energy here can not only accelerate his cultivation, but also help him operate the bone array better and nourish his half-dragon body.

Without further ado, the witch readily summoned undead creatures to carry the coffin and other belongings into the lower level of the spire.

Following the wizard's instructions, the skeleton was reassembled into a six-pointed star magic circle, with even the placement of the death crystals exactly the same as before.

Once the skeletal magic circle was restored within the tower's interior, the dragon lich Gewu lay down in the coffin at the center of the circle, feeling the even more intense aura of death within. The dragon lich Gewu's soul fire danced merrily in his eye sockets, and his bony teeth involuntarily parted at the corners of his mouth, extremely satisfied with this.

After emptying the belongings of the dragon lich and the witch, Lu Feng held the Bone Spire and unleashed bursts of suction force, like an invisible vortex, drawing in all the death energy in the abandoned green dragon's lair. Even the death energy condensed in the cracks of the stone walls was pulled out and flowed into the Bone Spire with the suction force.

Lu Feng's gaze swept across the ground, taking in all the soil and rubble in the cave that were stained with death energy. With a wave of his hand, he used his spiritual power to wrap them up and put them into the lower level of the spire, turning them into the soil foundation of the tower's interior space.

After this repeated cleaning, the chilling, deathly aura that had permeated the abandoned Green Dragon Cave was completely swept away.

The black, deathly filth on the stone wall gradually faded, revealing the light gray rock beneath with some wood grain patterns. Even the air became fresher, and one could vaguely sense the earth's vein power beginning to flow smoothly again.

After Lu Feng finished his work, Yu Chan Dao Ren persuaded the Old Dragon King of Honghu to ask for his help.

The old Dragon King cherished this precious land and immediately nodded in agreement.

He raised his dragon claw and unleashed his divine power, instantly causing a surge of water vapor to seep into the cave, gathering into showers of rain that poured down with the fresh power of nature, washing away the last trace of filth from the stone walls and the ground.

Raindrops fell on the rocks, making a soft, pattering sound, like a prelude to the rebirth of this precious land. After the rain subsided, Daoist Yuchan summoned several colleagues skilled in feng shui. They took out compasses and measuring tapes and personally measured the dimensions inside the cave. Sometimes they bent down to check the slope of the ground, and sometimes they walked to the cave entrance to observe the direction of the mountains outside. Clearly, they were meticulously surveying the terrain and feng shui of this place in preparation for setting up the spirit-gathering formation.

However, setting up the magic array and repairing the Green Dragon Cave is not something that can be done overnight; it will take quite some time.

Seeing this, Lu Feng immediately recruited a group of human soldiers skilled in construction to build watchtowers, simple barracks, and storage sheds, among other ordinary territory buildings, near the Green Dragon Cave.

Although these buildings are not as sophisticated as military buildings, they can quickly establish defensive and supply outposts, officially incorporating this fertile area into the territory of Blackrock Territory.

After making the arrangements, Lu Feng handed over the subsequent repair work to Daoist Yu Chan and others, and returned to his territory to handle other matters.

Time flies, and three or four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Daoist Yuchan never slacked off, leading the other Daoists into the cave to work before dawn every day.

They disassembled and replicated the Green Serpent Entangling Wood Formation and the Yellow Dragon Suppressing Earth Formation, which were the most suitable for this location among the Five Elements Suppressing Spirit Formations.

It took nearly a month to refine two sets of magical artifacts using century-old spiritual wood and underground yellow dragon soil.

A set of eight flags is made of green snakes entwined on wood. The flags are woven with emerald green snake patterns, and tiny pieces of spirit jade are inlaid among the snake scales. When a breeze blows, they make a soft "rustling" sound.

Another set of Huangjiao Town flags consists of six flags. The flags are a heavy earthy yellow color and are decorated with a spiraling Huangjiao totem. When the copper bells at the corners of the flags shake, they can resonate with the earth's veins.

Once the ritual implements were made, the Taoists carefully planted the flags at various nodes along the earth's veins in the cave.

The green snake-entwined wooden flag surrounds the cave, gathering the natural spiritual energy of the Roland Forest, while the yellow dragon-suppressing earth flag is placed in the center according to the direction of the earth veins, gathering the earth vein energy.

In addition to setting up magic arrays, the Taoists also carefully cultivate spiritual plants every day.

Plant moss ferns and dew grass near the Green Snake Entwined Wood Flag, allowing the emerald green leaves to climb along the stone wall; scatter spirit grain seeds around the earthen flag of Huangjiao Town, and the seedlings that grow will further stabilize the soil.

The once abandoned, dilapidated, and lifeless Green Dragon Cave has been transformed almost daily thanks to their hard work.

The earth's veins are becoming increasingly abundant, and the natural spiritual energy lingers in the cave. Even the wood grain on the stone walls has regained its warm luster. Such rapid changes are truly delightful.

After finishing his work on the construction of the mausoleum and the training of the legion in Black Stone Territory, Lu Feng took some time out of his busy schedule to visit the Green Dragon Cave with a sense of anticipation, wanting to see for himself the masterpieces of Jade Cicada Daoist and the others.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, he was amazed by the sight before him.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the air far exceeded expectations, several times denser than the mage tower in the territory, comparable to a famous blessed land in the world of cultivation.

He walked slowly, and a clear energy pulse emanated from the ground beneath his feet, with the power of the earth veins surrounding him like an invisible wave.

The environment, where the earth's power and natural energy intertwined, stirred something within Lu Feng.

"If one cultivates the Jade Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique here, with the help of the earth's veins and spiritual energy, one will surely be able to break through the bottleneck and progress by leaps and bounds in cultivation!"

The moment this thought crossed Lu Feng's mind, he couldn't suppress his eagerness to cultivate. His gaze swept across the cave, wanting to find a place with the richest spiritual energy to meditate and cultivate.

At this moment, the voice of the Jade Cicada Daoist came from behind:
"My lord, when we were renovating the cave, we thought that the spiritual energy here was abundant and suitable for cultivation. Therefore, we built several secluded meditation rooms next to the nodes of the earth veins with the most abundant spiritual energy."

Yu Chan Daoist and others also considered the use of this Green Dragon Cave and built several quiet rooms for closed-door cultivation in places where the spiritual energy of the cave was abundant.

The most crucial and best-equipped one was specially built for Lu Feng.

Lu Feng stepped into the quiet room, where the floor was paved with warm chalcedony, the door frame was carved with lotus patterns, and there was a yellow jade bed in the room, with an incense burner next to the bed, burning incense to calm the mind.

These are all the sentiments of Daoist Yuchan and others.

Sitting cross-legged on the jade bed, Lu Feng adjusted his breathing, formed hand seals, and activated the supernatural power, Bright Jade Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique.

The moment the thought arose, the natural spiritual energy filling the quiet room and the surging earth vein power from beneath the ground rushed into his body like guided tides, surging and flowing through his limbs and bones.

He could clearly feel that the efficiency of the technique was nearly 50% higher than in the territory, and the bottleneck that was originally sluggish was gradually loosening due to the nourishment of abundant energy.

A hint of joy flashed in Lu Feng's eyes, and he became increasingly satisfied with the meticulousness and transformation results of the Jade Cicada Daoist.

He immediately focused his mind and completely immersed himself in cultivation, forgetting all the disturbances of the outside world. He only focused on circulating his supernatural powers, guiding the spiritual energy and the power of the earth veins within his body, slowly absorbing and refining them, and transforming them into his own cultivation.

As his cultivation deepened, a faint halo gradually emanated from Lu Feng's body on the yellow jade bed, and a delicate jade-like luster slowly appeared on his skin, spreading from his fingertips to his cheeks and then to his entire body. He was like a meticulously sculpted white jade statue, pure and translucent, and even his breathing became long and even.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps a day, perhaps three days, a soft "click" sound suddenly came from the quiet room.

The "white jade statue" on the yellow jade bed trembled slightly, and a fine crack slowly opened from between Lu Feng's eyebrows, from which a trace of purer spiritual energy could be faintly seen.

The crack between his brows began to slowly expand outwards, spreading like a spider web.

First, it crawled over the smooth forehead, then slid down the cheek to the jaw, then extended down the neck, through the chest covered by the clothes, and finally spread all the way to the extremities, dividing the entire "white jade statue" into countless small pieces.

"Crack!"

Another crisp, light sound rang out, like the signal that ice and snow were melting. The jade shell covering Lu Feng's body shattered instantly, turning into countless shimmering white specks of light. These specks of light did not dissipate; instead, they circled in the air before merging into his body.

The glow faded, revealing a figure dressed in white.

With skin as smooth as jade, hair falling gently over his shoulders, and a gentle and refined temperament, he possessed the composure of a strong man, making him a handsome and elegant gentleman.

"call!"

Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

'This period of secluded cultivation has finally lived up to expectations, allowing me to cultivate the Bright Jade Spring and Autumn Cicada Technique to its third transformation, and successfully break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage!'

Lu Feng sensed the changes in his body and concluded.
