To Walk The Mist Chapter 59

Ed had absorbed all the astral energy dry . But for some reason, he could still feel a far away core astral well he could not reach . The well seemed to be filling the dry vein up . He stopped absorbing the energy . Even though he could not feel much of a change to his cultivation after that much energy, he understood why and knew it was best that he absorbed all the energies at rather the same pace . He was not in a hurry . He got up and walked out of his cave .

He had completely destroyed all his swords in the battle field, but he had gained many more . He had taken time to search for treasures on the bodies of those he had killed in the battle field . He gained himself many weapons and spatial rings filled with wealth .

He wanted to explore the spatial rings he had taken, but he understood that most of these cultivators were from large sects and clans . Their elders would have protected the spatial rings from entering unknown hands . Afterall, he had felt a sliver of the old pervert's will in his ring . If something happened to him, he was sure the old thing, would know . His ring would be protected . Anyone who wished to look inside would have to suffer a lot and may get killed by the will of a soul realization grandmaster like the old pervert . This was the same for him . He was not arrogant enough to forget that no matter his special const.i.tution, he was still a spirit picking junior .

If he opened a spatial ring protected by the killing intent of a powerful grandmaster, he would be in mortal danger . He had heard of body inscriptions . These were activated unto one's body to protect him from a mind attack . He needed something like that . Or even a s.h.i.+eld to help handle a bit of the unleashed will .

He stepped out of his cave and was met with chaos . People were everywhere, many of them looking in the same direction . He was sure that the first section was occupied by the top ten, and the top ten were individual cultivators, not factions with a lot of members . There is no way the first section would be this crowded .

"Another energy vein dried?" someone asked .

"Of course they tried to keep the first one silent but, it has happened again . "

"Do you think we are under attack?"

"By who? Even great sects outside the demon lands cannot dry an energy vein that fast . And a major vein at that . This seems like a natural phenomenon . "

"I agree . "

"It seem like the great spill it running out of juice . Even so, it should not be this fast . "

"A major vein, doesn't this mean that other veins are in danger?"

"This could be bad . "

"If this continues we will be left with no energy to absorb . "

"As if that is even the issue," another snorted, "if the veins are drying, doesn't that mean something is happening there?"

"That will be bad . "

"Loosing an astral vein is one thing . If if something happens there, we will all loose out!"

"The demon lands must already be considering this . If they loose that place, they become insignificant . "

"They will be nothing more than a barren land . "

"Who cares about the demon lands? That place is important for my cultivation!"

Ed picked up on this discussion and turned solemn . He was right . There must be more to the demon lands . The reason people come here . That cursed old pervert did not say anything about this . Ed had absorbed all the astral energy dry . But for some reason, he could still feel a far away core astral well he could not reach . The well seemed to be filling the dry vein up .
