Chapter 435: Hidden Veins of Life
--- Chapter 432 ---
Yunlong walked to the small well surrounded by several ice mirror-like pillars. He saw Kaguya waiting at the well, observing the area with her Tenseigan.
"Did you find the key?" Kaguya asked. "I couldn\'t access the Hidden Veins of Life without the key... The person who made this mechanical formation is a genius."
"Unfortunately, he wasn\'t around anymore."
Yunlong raised his brow and casually replied, "I can bring him from the pure land to the living world if you want."
"No, that won\'t do." The Moon Goddess shook her head. "Although you can revive the dead to the living world, it costs a huge sum of your good karma."
"Yunlong, you\'re powerful. More powerful than I am. So, I want you to appreciate your potential more and not waste it on someone else."
"Although the mechanical genius who created this formation is one in a million, no one could replace you." She put on a stern look.
"It\'s not that bad," Yunlong responded with a wry smile. He has revived ten dragon kings and some other people so far.
"Hmph." Kaguya pouted unhappily at Yunlong, and he finally gave in.
"Fine, I wouldn\'t revive anyone without your permission."
"But this only applies to people outside our family."
Kaguya kissed Yunlong on the cheeks, "Good."
\'Aih, my wife is adorable.\' Yunlong sighed in his heart.
After some pampering, Kaguya finally let him be and asked for the key again. Yunlong handed the Kazahana\'s Inheritance Necklace to her, and she immediately put it inside the well.
One might think the hexagonal crystal pattern designed on the Crystal Necklace was an easy key to replicate, but the truth is different. The real key is none other than the natural energy stored inside it.
So even though other people tried to copy it, they couldn\'t access the Land of Spring.
Under Yunlong and Kaguya\'s watchful eyes, the energy inside Crystal Necklace collided with the crystal formation in the well and triggered a movement.
An enormous amount of natural energy beneath their feet unsealed and traveled to the ice mirror-like pillars, generating sun-like warmth to the surrounding ice and snow-covered land.
However, the miracle is far from over.
Like baptism light, the sun-light warmth exposed everything under the snow and revealed the land full of vitality. Grassland and flowers began to expand to the vicinity of the ice formation. Even some insects like butterflies and ladybugs appeared naturally.
With that, the Land of Snow has transformed into the Land of Spring!
Kaguya\'s eyes wandered through the land and thought, \'The barren and cold snowland has become a warm land filled with lives. The effect is just like Blue Silver Grass, but more potent on the life side rather than nature.\'
\'This kind of chakra is gentle in nature and wouldn\'t burden one\'s body.\'
\'As expected, the Hidden Veins of Life is similar to the Lake of Life inside the Star Dou Forest\'s core area. Unfortunately, the latter doesn\'t have Otsutsuki Clan\'s trash I can experiment with.\' Kaguya was so deep in her thoughts that she didn\'t realize Yunlong was playing around with running water nearby.
Yunlong tasted the water and mumbled, "Well, damn."
"It actually could nourish my body?"
[Ding! You have consumed the\'Hidden Veins of Life\'s Outer Water\'and received a life nourishment effect. All cells in your body are brimming with energy]
"Even such a thing is rare in the Douluo Dalu World." After all, he knows his physique better than anyone else.
Yunlong\'s physique is demanding when it comes to nourishment. And it\'s because of the Hidden Dragon Cultivation Technique that his Dragon God son-in-law imparted to him.
On top of that, Yunlong is also in the possession of the Primordial Lord of Hunger and Gluttony, Beelzebub. He\'s constantly hungry and merely kept it for himself.
Yet the water blessed with Hidden Veins of Life fulfilled the requirement, the base of it at least.
"And this is just the Outer Water." Yunlong stared at the collection of Life Energy beneath him. "What would happen if I drank the Inner or Core Water?"
Yunlong couldn\'t imagine the amount of improvement the life nourishment brought to his stagnant cultivation. After becoming a Godking of Miracle, he admitted that his cultivation hadn\'t improved much.
"It seems coming to the Shinobi World was the right decision..." He couldn\'t help but smile.
Yunlong turned around and asked, "Don\'t you think so, Kaguya?"
"Hmm, yes. Did you call me Yunlong?" Kaguya snapped from her deep thoughts.
"Haha, we are on our own worlds." Yunlong laughed heartfully.
He shared his discovery with Kaguya, and the Moon Goddess shared hers. Soon, they discussed how to use the Hidden Veins of Life to the fullest.
Yunlong wanted to train the Hidden Dragon Cultivation Technique with the Hidden Veins of Life\'s assistance. And Kaguya wanted to build the frame for her Husband\'s Kama Project.
Both activities prevented them from leaving the Land of Snows, which means this place would be one of their future bases.
Unknown to Yunlong and Kaguya, this also caused the Otsutsuki Clan to launch a full-blown incursion on the Land of Snow and fulfill Kazahana Koyuki\'s dream.
Yunlong and Kaguya are having a picnic break on the Land of Springs, but they suddenly detect someone trying to spy on them.
BAM!
Their superior Divine Sense exploded and destroyed the spying ability into nothingness.
"What was that?" Yunlong frowned slightly. It doesn\'t feel like they are attacking a \'normal\' mental probing. The other side seems to realize who they are and testing them instead.
Kaguya stared at the far ahead and said, "I can\'t track it. This person is very cautious."
...
Meanwhile, on the Land of Snow\'s border, a girl is screaming at the top of her lungs and clutching her bleeding left eye. The room she\'s staying in is dark, causing her appearance to be obscure. But the scream gradually stopped, leaving a sobbing and giggling noise.
"Hehe..."
"Hehehe..."
"I finally found you..." A bright blue eye with a dark moon ark mark shone in the room. "My love, Sword God~!"
"I know you\'d eventually return to this world..."
"Ah, I can\'t wait until we eventually meet~!"
"Yunlong, the Sword God~!"
...
Back to Yunlong and Kaguya. After using their divine sense a few times and finding no result, they gave up searching for the person who tried to spy on them.
They would meet that person when the Shinobu World became Yunlong\'s possession sooner or later.
Kaguya tapped her hand on the ground and stated, "Done. I\'ve placed several sealing techniques around the area."
"As long as there is no Godking-like existence, we shouldn\'t be worried about others entering the Hidden Veins of Life without my permission."
"We can start harvesting the Hidden Veins of Life." She added while pulling a small portion of Life Energy.
"Oh, also... I placed a space and time channel on the Hidden Veins of Life so you can dip your body in that basin over there."
Kaguya casually pointed at the three-meter-deep basin near the well that was \'strategically\' surrounded by big rocks. It looks more like a hot spring than anything.
"So fast?" Yunlong was amazed by her tactfulness.
"This is nothing." Kaguya smiled. "Hurry up and cultivate."
"Thanks." Yunlong kissed her forehead and giddily stripped before dipping his body into the basin. He could hear notifications ringing in his head non-stop because of it.
He began cultivating the Hidden Dragon Cultivation Technique and was \'continuously\' immersed in it for several hours. When it comes to cultivation, time always flies so fast.
Yunlong opened his eyes and saw that the moon was \'already\' hanging in the night sky. He stretched his arms and noticed that his Dragon\'s Blood had concentrated more strength.
[Ding! Hidden Dragon Cultivation Technique has reached Level 10]
"Level ten? That was faster than I thought. The Hidden Veins of Life is very effective." Yunlong grinned in satisfaction. He looked around for Kaguya and saw her meditating not far away.
"Kaguya, are you hungry?" He asked her out.
"Hmm, not really... But If you cook." Kaguya responded with high anticipation.
Yunlong chuckled because he sometimes forgot that Kaguya is a certified glutton, "Yes, I would cook anything for you."
"Then, I\'m hungry." Kaguya quickly smiled.
At the Kazahana Castle, Kazahana Koyuki is having dinner in a grave yet happy mood. She instinctively rubbed her soft cheek and mumbled solemnly, "How unbelievable."
"To think the Sword God would appear out of nowhere and make me young again."
"He also granted me this otherworldly power..." Kazahana Koyuki sighed and summoned her Martial Soul. It was a stunning silver hand mirror with a jeweled handle.
"Haa, I\'m going to become crazy at this point."
A portal appeared in the middle of the room and revealed Yunlong, who walked and stepped onto the carpet.
"Koyuki, let me borrow your kitchen!" Yunlong greeted Kazahana Koyuki like they were close friend.
"..." Kazahana Koyuki.
\'M-Maybe I\'m crazy.\'
Poor Koyuki, this is just the beginning of the wild ride Yunlong dragged her into.
