"How many days have passed since we had peace? Are those elders on Jilong Road really so belligerent?"
"They're all cultivating immortality, why do they still think about expanding their territory every day?"

Thinking back on the many years of upheaval, he had already formed some concept about the changes in vital energy.
For some unknown reason, the changes in the Earth's veins of Yunzhou caused the Earth Spirit Vital Energy to change with it.
Mountains with spiritual veins might become barren of vital energy, unsuitable for cultivation, like Jilong Mountain.
