Peerless Taoist

He was searching for living beings in Emerald Cloud Mountain, mercilessly killing them.    

He had slaughtered over ten thousand people, and blood stained the ground. There were broken corpses everywhere. Lu Yu broke through the defensive formation of the hidden sects and arrived at the depths of Emerald Cloud Mountain.    

As for the experts of the hidden sects who were killed, Lu Yu did not show any mercy and directly searched their souls.    

In the shattered memories, Lu Yu also knew the purpose of these people.    

They were actually here for a high-level spirit vein. In order to dig it back, they did not hesitate to expose Penglai's trump card.    

After reading all the memories, Lu Yu immediately understood what was going on.    

These people were all the subordinates of the Emperor.    

Ever since Lu Yu beat the Emperor to a pulp, although he had been restored by the Mysterious Emperor, his status in Penglai had fallen.    

Penglai was the Heavenly Court, so it was impossible for him to only have one heir.    

The other seed-level young masters also started to chase after him and threatened the position of the Emperor.    

If it was in the past, the Emperor could have suppressed them all, but after he was beaten to a pulp by Lu Yu, not only did his cultivation level suffer damage, even his Dao Heart was affected. He no longer had the strength of the past.    

In fact, when the Emperor was fighting with another young master, he actually lost.    

This was a devastating blow to the reputation of the prince.    

After that, he was also ordered by the Xuan Emperor to withdraw the Eastern Penglai Palace that he had previously owned and move into a relatively ordinary palace. The luxurious conditions that he had previously lived in were instantly gone.    

The prince was unwilling to accept this. He inquired about it and finally found a high-rank spirit vein. Thus, he immediately rushed over.    

A high-rank spirit vein was no small matter. Even in this Kunlun Mountain, there were only a few of them that could reach this level.    

Back then, Lu Yu had snuck into the Buddhist Spirit Mountain and seized one of the tributaries of the spirit vein, which was enough to offset the expenses of the Hidden Dragon Army. It was obvious how vast and abundant the spirit vein was.    

The prince wanted to seize this spirit vein to repair his injuries and develop his power, hoping to rise again.    

"So that's how it is. It's not because of the Eight Trigrams Furnace."    

Lu Yu could not help but heave a sigh of relief.    

However, he quickly understood that since Li Xinghe could stay in the Eight Trigrams Furnace for tens of thousands of years without being discovered, he must have his own methods.    

A mere prince of Penglai would not be able to discover the location of such a treasure.    

The only possibility was the Eternal Night Sky behind Penglai. However, it seemed that the Eternal Night Sky had not discovered the location of the treasure either.    

"After all, this treasure is a hidden danger. I will take this opportunity to kill your prince first and then take the treasure away!"    

Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light. With a flash, he disappeared into thin air.    

In the next moment, Lu Yu went deep into the ground, his body continuously moving underground.    

"Hmm? The geology here seems to have changed!"    

Lu Yu continued to move underground. Suddenly, he felt that the pressure that he was enduring had changed.    

The entire ground seemed to have been modified by someone using a formation. The soil was extremely thick, and every layer was even stronger than marble.    

"Someone set up a formation here, as if it was to prevent others from discovering this place!"    

Lu Yu could feel the dense earth attribute magic power from the soil.    

However, Lu Yu quickly sneered, "If you didn't do anything, perhaps I wouldn't have noticed anything strange. But you changed the geology here, turning it into a situation where there was no silver. You are smart."    

This kind of soil was extremely sturdy, but it was unable to stop Lu Yu.    

Soon, Lu Yu broke through the layers of soil and arrived at the depths of the ground.    

But at this moment, Lu Yu was suddenly blown by a violent storm of spirit energy. It was as if he had fallen into a turbulent sea of spirit energy. If he could not stabilize his body, he would be blown to the side.    

"The spirit energy here is actually so vast!"    

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.    

Right now, he did not need the spiritual energy of this world. Instead, he sought for a higher level of the primeval energy.    

However, places with abundant spiritual energy would grow many rare and precious treasures. In some places with abundant spiritual energy, geniuses would be born. Even if a mortal lived in such a place, he would be able to prolong his life.    

In the universe, there were many realms that were still in the primitive and desolate state. There was no magical power in them at all. Ordinary people usually lived about a hundred years old, and they could not fly or escape. They could only live in the primitive state.    

The reason why the Holy Land was so prosperous was because of the attack of the Transcending Heaven Cultists, causing the spiritual energy in the entire realm to disappear. In the end, everyone in the realm lived in a muddle-headed state.    

This was the foundation of cultivation. To the current Lu Yu, it was also an extremely important thing.    

"It seems that this is a branch of the Kunlun Mountain. This prince is indeed vicious. Does he want to make the Kunlun Mountain withered?"    

A cold light flashed across Lu Yu's eyes.    

Looking around, the boundless spiritual energy gathered into a long river that surged and crashed onto Lu Yu's body.    

It was also because Lu Yu's strength was so strong that if it was another ordinary cultivator, he would not even have the strength to approach this place. He would be directly pushed out by the surging spiritual energy.    

Lu Yu had already seen many thick and heavy chains that were as thick as a big tree on this spiritual vein.    

These chains were the Dragon Lock.    

This was a magic tool that was used to trap the Dragon Vein and capture it.    

Because the cost of refining the Dragon Lock was quite high, many sects would find it difficult to directly take it away even if they knew where the spirit vein was. Instead, they would establish a sect on top of the spirit vein.    

Once this spirit vein was lost, everything within a thousand miles of the Green Cloud Mountain would wither and disappear, and everyone would be unable to cultivate.    

This was a disaster. If such a thing really happened, it would be very difficult to recover even after so many years.    

"Humph! This thing, you Penglai Heavenly Court actually dared to do such a thing!"    

Lu Yu raised his hand and grabbed. The Dragon Lock shattered.    

Boom!    

The moment Lu Yu made his move, a violent rumble suddenly came from the surrounding void.    

"How dare you! You're courting death!"    

The void suddenly shook violently. An old man dressed in brocade clothes, holding a green longsword in his hand, came over with a vast aura.    

"This is the treasure of our Penglai Heavenly Court! You dare to destroy it? You're simply courting death! Kneel down and die!"    

The moment the old man appeared, he did not hesitate at all and slashed at Lu Yu's head.
