After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

"It seems that it is not just defending against foreign invasion, but more like it is doing its best to protect itself, or rather, it is determined to protect something hidden inside."

The middle-aged cultivator, who resembled a scholar, wore a blue robe and had a lean face, but at this moment his expression was so gloomy it could drip water.

A pair of eyes were fixed on the shimmering barrier, their depths churning with intense greed and fear.

"Who on earth is this person, possessing such extraordinary abilities, capable of not only reawakening the dormant spiritual veins of the Land of Absolute Spirit, which have been dormant for countless years, but also..."

"For the spiritual vein to evolve into such a profound and extraordinary protective barrier on its own, could it be... that someone truly has come from the upper realm?"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the other old monsters who stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world all shrank drastically.

They exchanged a glance, their expressions incredibly complex, their eyes revealing both deep apprehension and fear.

It was also mixed with a hint of undisguised fervor and excitement.

That's the Upper Realm!

The legendary immortal realm is said to be filled with abundant spiritual energy and teeming with powerful beings!

If it is indeed a person from the upper realm descending, then the secrets hidden in this desolate land are probably a hundred times more astonishing than they previously guessed!

"I'm afraid... only those legendary beings who look down upon all living beings in the upper realms possess such heaven-defying and fate-changing abilities, capable of transforming decay into wonder, and using their supreme power to enlighten spiritual veins, endowing them with intelligence and consciousness."

The gaunt old man took a deep breath, and for the first time, his tone revealed an uncontrollable awe.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian was at the very center of the spiritual energy vortex of the entire mountain range.

After the initial bewilderment and shock, a strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart that I couldn't quite explain.

Almost as if struck by inspiration, he sat down cross-legged on the spot without hesitation, formed a mudra with his hands, faced the sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

The instant his eyes closed, an incomparably mysterious and indescribable feeling surged into his mind like a tide.

Taking the small patch of ground beneath his feet as the origin, his senses spread and expanded wildly in all directions.

No, it wasn't just the land beneath his feet, but every inch of rock, every stream, and every ancient tree in the entire Fallen Dragon Mountain Range seemed to be clearly visible to him! No, the area was still expanding!

That perception was like invisible ripples, spreading outwards in concentric circles, faintly and indistinctly...

He was even able to vaguely perceive the mountain and river formations of the entire Spirit-Severing Land, as well as the distribution of the strength of life force in the underground spiritual veins.

Even the forces lurking deep within those silent lands... all of this seemed to transform into a picture, though still quite blurry...

A gigantic map, incredibly realistic and three-dimensional, appeared completely in his consciousness.

The feeling was as if... he had suddenly become the sole and unique master of this small world.

Possessing supreme authority that transcends everything, capable of controlling wind and rain, mountains and rivers with a single thought!

"What...what on earth is going on?!"

Lin Fengmian suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils filled with disbelief and horror.

He stared blankly at his outstretched hands, feeling the wondrous connection between them and the earth beneath his feet, a connection as natural as his own limbs.

Thoughts raced through my mind, and after a moment...

He managed to piece together a guess that even he himself found shocking and somewhat absurd.

"Could it be... that little golden dragon I rescued is not only the physical manifestation of the main spiritual vein of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range, but also... the primordial will born from this small world?!"

"Just like the little fox spirit that once lived inside the jade pendant."

She can move freely within the space inside the jade pendant and adjust everything at will. Could this little golden dragon be a similar being?

Is it the 'spirit' of this entire desolate land?

"And I, because I saved it from the brink of death with the spiritual spring water that contained mysterious life force, unexpectedly gained its original recognition."

And then, by a twist of fate... he directly took control of this entire world?

The more Lin Fengmian thought about it, the more intense the shock became, and at the same time, an uncontrollable ecstasy began to grow wildly.

If that's really the case, then this risky foray into the Land of No Spirits will definitely be incredibly lucrative, a truly incredible stroke of luck!

What does this mean?

This means that from now on, this place of absolute spirituality, which makes countless cultivators tremble at the mere mention of it, will be his backyard, his private territory!

In his excitement, he focused his mind and began to perceive everything around him with greater care.

He soon discovered that several extremely powerful auras, as dazzling as the sun, lingered in different locations on the outskirts of the Fallen Dragon Mountain Range.

It was those old monsters from the cultivation world who had come to track him down.

Although their auras were vast and powerful, they seemed somewhat helpless in the face of this barrier constructed from the essence of spiritual veins.

A mischievous smile unconsciously crept onto Lin Fengmian's lips. With a slight thought, his control over the outer area of ​​the mountain range instantly became even clearer and more precise.

He could even "see" how those usually arrogant and disdainful old monsters were now furious and filled with suspicion.

His face was a mixture of shock, greed, resentment, and hidden fear, making him look utterly ridiculous!

Hahahaha!

Lin Fengmian could no longer contain himself and burst into unrestrained laughter, which echoed through the valley.

He really has the power to control this mountain range!

So, from now on, this vast and mysterious land is under my control!

At that moment, he was like a child who had suddenly received the most precious and interesting toy in the world.

That kind of secret, bone-deep smugness.

And that sense of control, having everything in your hands, is an exhilarating feeling that is hard to describe in words.

Qin Lan and Xiao Ling'er, standing nearby, looked at him as he suddenly grinned smugly, oblivious to everyone around him. They were both completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

They didn't know what the man was laughing about, nor did they know that in just a short moment, the ruler of this world had quietly changed hands.

However, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became rich and vibrant, as if it had been abruptly awakened from its slumber, surging and converging wildly.

It is so real, there is no room for faking it!

All these earth-shattering changes were caused by the man in front of us!

Qin Lan's mind was subjected to an unprecedented and intense shock.

She gazed at Lin Fengmian's sharply defined profile, a profile radiating confidence and triumph as he seemed to control this world.

A bold and absurd thought involuntarily surfaced in his mind: Could it be... that Young Master Lin is actually the legendary person from the Upper Realm?

Lin Fengmian's senses were incredibly sharp, and he naturally noticed the two women's shocked, puzzled, and inquisitive gazes.
