Sovereign to Immortality

On the west mountain, there were many spring streams. These streams rushed out from the mountain, forming a flat open land at the foot of the east mountain, which was known as the most important settlement area in the two villages. Seven to eight out of ten Ling Tian s in the two villages were also distributed on this open land.

The streams flowed out from the mountains to provide water for the irrigation of the fields, but they also divided the open area into a few areas. Afterwards, these streams gradually converged, until they were about seven to eight miles away from the two villages, where all the streams meandered eastward through half of the Mengyu County. Along the way, they converged with a few tributaries, nourishing more than ten thousand acres of land on both sides of the road.

This place was originally a fertile land for cultivation. Under the guidance of Tuqiu Village’s Yang Tiangang, the three acres of Ling Tian that Tuqiu Village was currently cultivating, were right next to a small stream at the foot of the western mountain. Under the guidance of Tuqiu Village’s Yang Tiangang, it took the Tuqiu Village more than three years to grow this field of Ling Tian to the point where it was about to mature.

The three mu of Ling Tian were highly regarded by everyone in Tuqiu Village, especially when they saw that the Ling Tian was about to mature. As the Spiritual Farmers was guarding the three acres of Ling Tian, day and night, Yang Tiangang and the other two Martial Realm Cultivatolso cooperated sincerely on this matter, and mutually agreed that before the Ling Tian matured, at least one Martial Realm Cultivator would be guarding the village.

After looking past the three acres of Ling Tian, the Tuqiu Village’s village was not far away, and the location where Yang Junshan and the Ling Tian were standing, just happened to be in a straight line. In fact, when Yang Junshan was near the Western Mountain, he vaguely saw a spirit spring water flowing out of the water, which was around the same location, but Yang Junshan had already searched back and forth three times, but he did not find any traces of spring water.

Once he returned to the mountain, Hu Niu immediately gave off a vitality that far surpassed the peaceful times at home. The might of the Mountain Lord gradually emitted from Hu Niu’s body, because in the Western Mountain, there were no large sized ferocious beasts, and even if there were wild boars or hyenas, as long as Hu Niu did not take the initiative to provoke them, they would not be in any danger. Thus, after Yang Junshan entered the mountain, he no longer restricted Hu Niu.

There were a lot of prey in the Western Mountain. Even though Yang Junshan entered the mountain just to find the spring, in this half a day of hard work, Hu Niu had already brought back two fat wild rabbits, a pheasant in the eye of a feather, and an undead earth badger. Looking at her round stomach, it was likely that there was already a prey that entered her stomach.

Right now, it was still late summer’s weather, the sunlight was rising higher and higher, the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Under the helplessness of this generation’s searching, Yang Junshan had no choice but to go into the pomegranate forest to avoid the sun.

This piece of pomegranate forest should have been grown naturally, its branches were twisted and even the branches of two or three trees were intertwined with each other. In the shade of the tree, huge pomegranate fruits were hanging from the branches, most of them had already turned yellow and red.

But now that he thought about it, although the pomegranate was not fully cooked, and the grain also had a sweet taste, and although the forest was cool and breezy, Yang Junshan could still feel a bit of heat that he could not hide, and seeing the huge pomegranate fruit, he immediately felt his tongue salivating, and was even more salivating.

After walking a few steps through the forest, he found the thickest pomegranate tree, the fruit on it was the fullest and the biggest. He jumped onto the tree trunk in a few steps to peel off the best piece of pomegranate, the slightly reddish seeds of the pomegranate were like sparkling gems.

Unable to wait any longer, Yang Junshan broke off dozens of grains and stuffed them into his mouth, letting a little cool and sweet taste gather in his mouth. Instantly, Yang Junshan felt as if all the heat in his body had disappeared.

Yang Junshan who was sitting on top of a tree, was contentedly eating a pomegranate seed while looking out from the gaps between the lush green leaves. Half of the Western Mountain caught his eye.

The western mountain was lush with trees. Looking around from the pomegranate tree, one could see patches of dark green. When the mountain wind blew, the treetops would sway with the wind, causing the waves on the sea to rise and fall violently.

Looking at the shaking forest and trees around him, Yang Junshan was slightly startled, he forgot about the magnificent scenery, and started thinking: This pomegranate forest is only halfway up the mountain, the ground is uneven, why does it feel like he has reached the highest point?

His heart was filled with suspicions, Yang Junshan no longer cared about the delicious pomegranate in his hands, he anxiously stood on top of the tree branch and looked around, only to realise that it was not the surrounding forest that had a higher ground, but the pomegranate forest under his feet was taller and stronger than the surrounding forest!

In addition, the branches of the pomegranate tree would easily distort during its growth, making it difficult to grow taller. However, the number of pomegranate trees Yang Junshan resided in seemed to be even thicker and thicker than ordinary trees, especially the pomegranate tree that Yang Junshan was currently sitting on, it was the tallest one in the entire pomegranate forest.

Yang Junshan thought about the Spirit Spring first, he suspected that the pomegranate forest was nourished by the Spirit Spring Water, which made it even more abundant compared to other trees.

He placed all the pomegranate seeds in his hand into his mouth to chew, almost filling Yang Junshan’s mouth up. At the same time, he focused on sensing, a large amount of juice gathering, and it was indeed discovered that there wainy amount of spirit energy.

Yang Junshan was even more assured now. After jumping down from the tree, he brushed away the dried up leaves on the ground and then ran towards other trees to compare them. He discovered that the soil on the surface of the pomegranate forest was even more moist than the soil in the other trees.

However, after carefully searching through the pomegranate forest once more, finding nothing, Yang Junshan finally made up his mind. He went to the thickest tree that he had previously picked up pomegranates from, and started to dig at the ground near the forest with the shovel that he had prepared earlier.

Compared to before he had entered the Banyan Mountain, Yang Junshan’s strength had almost doubled. In just a short moment of effort, he dug a pit around one foot wide and two feet deep near the pomegranate tree roots. The soil at the bottom of the pit was even more moist, but there were still no signs of spring water.

Hu Niu had a good time in the nearby mountains, and went back to the pomegranate forest to watch Yang Junshan dig. Her eyes flickered with curiosity, as she did not know what Yang Junshan was doing.

After spitting a mouthful of saliva at his palm, Yang Junshan first widened the hole by a foot, then jumped into the pit and continued to dig. After an incense worth of time, the hole once again went down by two feet, and by this time, half of Yang Junshan’s body was already inside the pit.

After resting for a while, Yang Junshan continued to widen the hole and dig down, but this time, the soil was much harder than before. Usually, when he dug down, he would only be able to dig down half a spade, but if he continued down, he would only be able to dig down 3 inches, and another inch …

Yang Junshan was already exhausted and perspiring, but his expression became more spirited, and the harder the soil was, the happier he would be.

Looking at Yang Junshan’s expression, Hu Niu was first suspicious, but after she sniffed at the hard soil Yang Junshan dug out from the bottom of the pit, she also started to laugh.

If the earth was nourished by spiritual energy, it would definitely become hard. Moreover, the soil that contained more spiritual energy would become even tougher. Sometimes, it would even become as hard as stone.

Why can only the Spiritual Farmers cultivate the Ling Tian, it was not just because all the people of the Spiritual Farmers knew how to cultivate with their own cultivation, more importantly, only cultivators could cultivate hard Ling Tian, and normal people, even cultivators with less than the third stage of cultivation, would find it extremely difficult to cultivate a lower tier Ling Tian.

Just think about it, a stone board the size of an acre would be crushed into pieces and then turned into foam. Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators below the third level would not be able to do this.

Of course, they could also borrow the help of Mighty Ox Beast, who had a gentle and easy to tame nature, to cultivate their Ling Tian. However, in the entire Tuqiu Village, there were only a few of this kind of large livestock, and it was even harder to control ordinary people or those with a low cultivation.

At this time, the deeper Yang Junshan dug, the harder the soil became, which meant that the more rich the spirit energy contained within the soil was, and it also proved that Yang Junshan’s guess was right.

‘s entire person was already inside the pit, and at this moment, the soil at the bottom of the pit had already started to exude traces of spirit energy. Yang Junshan could only break a layer of the soil with every shovel he dug.

He was leaning on his shovel and gasping for breath in the pit, when he suddenly heard Hu Niu’s “Hu hu hu” sound above her head. Yang Junshan looked up, only to see that Hu Niu’s front half of her body was already falling into the pit, ready to jump.

Yang Junshan immediately shouted, “Don’t jump, don’t jump! The pit won’t hold you!”

But it was too late, as soon as he said that, Hu Niu pounced onto his body.

Yang Junshan anxiously hugged onto the 30 to 40 jin cub that was already heavy, his body suddenly sank. It seemed that the cub had gained weight again.

Just as that thought flashed through his mind, Yang Junshan heard a “Kacha” sound coming from beneath his feet.

Immediately after, another series of “cha-cha cha” sounds rang out, causing Yang Junshan to suddenly relax his legs, and not even enough time to let out a scream, he subconsciously hugged Hu Niu tightly, and his entire body dropped down.

Crash * The sound of dirt falling to the ground was like gravel being smashed, followed by a muffled “dong” sound. Yang Junshan’s “aiyo, aiyo” sound came out from the darkness.

Hu Niu, who was in his embrace, broke free from Yang Junshan’s embrace the moment he landed. Her pair of tiger eyes even emitted a faint glow in the darkness.

Yang Junshan sat up on the ground, and heard the sound of water flowing in his ears, causing him to be surrounded by darkness. He was unable to determine where he was, but immediately, a series of heart-tearing and lung-splitting coughs allowed Yang Junshan to be sure that his surroundings were filled with dense Spirit Qi, because he was choking.
