Su Wen arrived at a steep mountain peak, overlooking the trends of the mountains and rivers below.
Sea of Consciousness.
The sky above, originally filled with books flying around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's spring, was now completely filled with records of what Su Wen had seen and heard.
The spring transformed, as if the books were turning page after page, displaying scene after scene of mountain and river topography.
Besides the topography, there were also the many spirits Su Wen had understood and replicated.
Visualizing these many spirits into the book pages was an attempt Su Wen made to alleviate the pressure of his fourth spirit skill's replication. Currently, it was still in progress step by step. Those blurry images only showed the spirits, and the specific spirit skills hadn't been clearly visualized yet.
Su Wen outlined a scene and integrated it into a new page.
"And this."
The reason he insisted on observing the major mountain ranges wasn't just to perfect his visualization method, but also to develop his earth element control.
In his palm, earth-attribute heaven-and-earth energy gathered, and a mountain peak condensed.
The peak expanded, instantly turning into a small mountain, landing in the distance with a rumbling sound.
Having observed so many real mountains, Su Wen had also grasped a certain artistic conception. Integrating it into his control of the earth element, he condensed this small mountain peak.
Su Wen changed the form of the peak.
The heaviness and oppressiveness didn't decrease, but the shape of the peak changed, becoming a large seal.
BOOM!
"This is much more pleasing to use."
Su Wen's heart stirred, condensing it again.
This time, the shape of the seal changed. As its shape changed, the heaviness and oppressive force it emitted became stronger.
He integrated the Great Stone Formation into it.
The seal was divided into three major plates, blending together to form a whole, yet the three parts were independent while vaguely stacking on each other, releasing a terrifying oppressive force.
The seal rose into the air, emitting a powerful oppressive force.
Even before it fell, it made people's hearts tremble.
BOOM!
Dust flew.
The earth cracked.
"This move shall be called the Mountain-Overturning Seal!"
Su Wen's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with vigilance. At the same time, he fully activated the Phantasmal Spirit Eye, only using the simulation spirit skill to cover the vertical eye on his forehead.
A sense of crisis struck.
At this moment, Su Wen only felt his brow swelling, as if some huge threat was approaching.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Another function of the Phantasmal Spirit Eye.
At this moment, Su Wen had no time to ponder this effect of the Phantasmal Spirit Eye. Instead, he held his breath and focused, thinking about the possible source of the crisis and escape strategies.
He didn't think a threat capable of triggering a sense of crisis in the Phantasmal Spirit Eye was something he could solve.
After all, even the Mirror Image Beast back then hadn't made Su Wen feel such a crisis, stimulating the Phantasmal Spirit Eye's warning.
So, his first thought was to plan an escape route.
Su Wen stood on the mountain peak, waiting for the crisis to arrive.
He needed to figure out the root of the crisis; otherwise, even if he escaped, he might still be targeted, and next time he might not have the convenient escape conditions he had now.
Time passed.
One second, three seconds.
One minute.
Three minutes.
Su Wen opened his eyes, looking at the burly figure in front of him.
From the other party's face, Su Wen felt somewhat familiar.
"Are you from the Elephant Armored Sect?" Su Wen sensed a similar temperament to the Huyan Brothers from the person in front of him.
Having replicated the Diamond Mammoth spirit, he knew this was the aura released by the Diamond Mammoth spirit, and a certain facial similarity caused by close blood relations.
"Su Wen?"
In the past few days, the Elephant Armored Sect had also found out Su Wen's name.
Su Wen fully activated the Phantasmal Spirit Eye, perceiving the opponent's spirit power realm.
"Stronger than Uncle Yang. It might be the Elephant Armored Sect's Sect Master, Huyan Zhen." His heart sank, wondering where he had offended the other party.
"It's fine if you don't speak. Hand over the spirit bone." Huyan Zhen didn't waste words, already pressing towards Su Wen with spirit power while completing his spirit possession.
No Spirit Avatar used.
Just spirit possession.
But compared to the Huyan Brothers, the current Huyan Zhen was already quite close to a Diamond Mammoth. The huge figure and aura were very little different from the Diamond Mammoth itself.
Spirit bone?
Su Wen's pupils constricted.
He naturally thought of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone on him first.
But in just an instant, he was certain that the spirit bone Huyan Zhen mentioned shouldn't be his Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
However, he only had two spirit bones on him.
One was the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and the other was his Phantasmal Spirit Eye External Spirit Bone.
The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was impossible, and the other party couldn't possibly know about the Phantasmal Spirit Eye.
"According to my guess, you have at least two spirit bones on you." Huyan Zhen stepped forward one step at a time, bringing increasing pressure on Su Wen.
"However, just now, I questioned my own guess." Huyan Zhen sighed, seemingly admiring Su Wen very much.
"I never thought that the many spirit skills you displayed in the Great Spirit Arena, as well as the foundational spirit skills of Raging Fire Heavenly Sun, would be self-created spirit skills, because I didn't believe such an illogical existence would exist on the continent."
"But just now, I had to admit that your spirit skills might all be self-created."
Su Wen's heart sank.
Damn it, it was actually because of my own shallow knowledge and blind guessing.
At the same time, he also understood that Huyan Zhen might have sensed from his reaction just now that he really might have a spirit bone.
"However, your reaction just now makes me rejoice. You definitely have a spirit bone on you."
Su Wen took a deep breath.
"Since Senior knows my identity and the origin of my Raging Fire Heavenly Sun, you should know that I'm not without backing."
"But if I kill you here, who would know?" Huyan Zhen said in a deep voice. "You were the one who left the team and ran so far off."
"No need to struggle. You are just a Spirit Elder. Under my spirit power suppression, you cannot break free."
Huyan Zhen looked like victory was in his grasp.
"I regret to inform you that I don't have a spirit bone." Su Wen sighed.
Huyan Zhen indeed had the power to crush him, but he got one thing wrong.
"I am a Spirit Ancestor."
A Spirit Ancestor with spirit power as high as level forty-eight!
Su Wen took out an Earth Ginseng from his storage spirit tool. This was the corpse of the Earth Ginseng left after Old Jack absorbed his second spirit ring, preserved by Dugu Bo and given to Su Wen.
Huyan Zhen frowned, not understanding why Su Wen took out such a precious Earth Ginseng at this time.
Su Wen stuffed the Earth Ginseng into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
The consumption of maintaining replicated spirit skills, which was originally sustained by his own spirit power, was now offset by the continuous medicinal power of the Earth Ginseng turning into spirit power. At the same time, Su Wen's spirit power recovered rapidly.
Even the Source Spirit Power circulating in his spirit space was mostly drawn out by Su Wen.
In an instant, Su Wen's spirit power recovered to its peak state of level forty-eight.
BOOM!
He instantly erupted all his spirit power, broke free from Huyan Zhen's suppression, and fled towards the rear.
Behind him was a cliff.
Huyan Zhen's expression changed slightly, not expecting Su Wen to break free.
He directly released his spirit skills. Outside his body, the third and fifth rings, one purple and one black, shone.
"Third Spirit Skill, Pressure Kill!"
"Fifth Spirit Skill, Gravity Squeeze!"
