CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 139: THE COUNTERACTION OF URBAN CELESTIAL DAO

Actually, when Lu Yan first obtained the Spirit Marrow Ore, he considered initiating a Spiritual Energy Revival in the urban version to validate the ideas in the "Heavenly Dao Discussion."

However, Lu Yan’s initial idea was to secretly create a Spirit Vein in the urban version for daily cultivation.

Once he entered the Xianxia version again, Lu Yan planned to rely on his strength and wealth to purchase Spirit Marrow Ore extensively, and then in the next urban version, plant Artificial Spiritual Veins on numerous famous mountains using the Spirit Marrow Ore.

The simultaneous birth of Spirit Veins on famous mountains would lead to a Spiritual Energy Revival, completely changing the direction of the urban version and pushing its variation value to the peak.

The main reason for doing this was that Lu Yan only had one piece of Spirit Marrow Ore, making a single Artificial Spiritual Vein too rare, affecting only the Spiritual Qi concentration in that area.

Once it spread to the outside world, that bit of Spiritual Qi would be rapidly diluted to nearly zero, unable to truly initiate the Spiritual Energy Revival.

However, with the Heaven-Defying Foundation Establishment method proposed by the Giant Spirit God, Lu Yan realized that his opportunity for Foundation Establishment lay in the Spiritual Energy Revival.

Therefore, Lu Yan decisively abandoned the original plan and chose to fully promote the completion of the Spiritual Energy Revival in this urban version!

Compared to the other two Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment methods, Spiritual Energy Revival has unparalleled advantages.

First is that Spiritual Energy Revival differs fundamentally from technological development and initiating war, as the latter two involve too much causality, leaving traces that Lu Yan would inevitably have to hide.

But Spiritual Energy Revival can be viewed as a natural evolution, and as long as Lu Yan does not actively reveal traces, no one would realize there is a mastermind behind the Spiritual Energy Revival, thus favoring Lu Yan to develop discreetly without worrying about being targeted by powerful beings after updates.

Secondly, the Spiritual Energy Revival stands apart from the urban version.

In a version devoid of Extraordinary Power, initiating a Spiritual Energy Revival undoubtedly transcends the scope of the Urban Celestial Dao.

In Lu Yan’s view, whether aligning with the Celestial Dao or defying the Celestial Dao, both have inherent limitations by confining oneself within the Dao framework from the outset.

Just like the Giant Spirit God, even when walking a path of omniscience, possessing the ability to understand the Dao, they are still trapped by a lack of understanding within the world’s concept, unable to transcend and observe from above.

Rather than being confined within the Dao, it’s better to ignite the momentum of Spiritual Energy Revival, using it to reconstruct the world and establish a Supreme Dao Foundation!

The arrangements for Spiritual Energy Revival have progressed to this day, and things have gone even smoother than Lu Yan anticipated.

Casting another seed of non-grade Earth Spirit Ginseng, he accelerated growth using the "Hastening Growth Technique" and then swiftly departed.

Using the Hastening Growth Technique to cultivate non-grade Spirit Plants consumes Spirit Stones; just one Earth Spirit Ginseng requires half a Spirit Stone, yet placing one on the market wouldn’t even fetch that price, making it a losing endeavor.

Only Lu Yan, in order to initiate the Spiritual Energy Revival, is willing to pay such a high price to use the Hastening Growth Technique to create these Spirit Plants.

Throwing down the last seed, Lu Yan turned to look at the Spirit Land he crafted.

Amidst fog-covered mountains, countless points of Spiritual Qi gathered, all planted by Lu Yan.

Some are embedded in rocks, while others are deeply buried in the soil like Jade Iron Ore and Golden Spirit Ore.

These non-grade Spirit Plants and Spirit Ores, combined, may not be worth fifty Spirit Stones but for the entire urban version, they were priceless.

Calculating the concentration of Spiritual Qi in his mind, Lu Yan mused privately.

"After three days, I can dissipate the fog and open this Spirit Land to the outside world.

Then, when Spirit Plants and Spirit Ores are divided among various forces, if any of them discover the existence of Spiritual Qi, the prelude to this Spiritual Energy Revival can truly begin."

"However, as the area affected by the Spiritual Energy Revival is restricted to just this place, its impact is too limited, further measures might be needed.

Scatter Spirit Stones to the outside world? Spread cultivation techniques?

Or perhaps use this Spirit Vein to produce mass pills similar to the Nine Dragon Power Potion, creating greater widespread influence?"

While cautiously pondering, Lu Yan’s gaze penetrated through the swirling fog to look beyond Beimang Mountain, at the gathering crowd below the mountains.

But with that mere glance, Lu Yan’s gaze froze.

Heer, outside Beimang Mountain, many content creators with selfie sticks were loudly arguing with security personnel, seemingly questioning something.

Not long after, these individuals seeking fame began to gradually disperse, leaving Beimang Mountain and heading towards Luocheng.

Not only these individuals but other tourists also began leaving in succession, and in just half a day, the gathered tourists under Beimang Mountain decreased by a third.

This unusual scene immediately caught Lu Yan’s attention, and he opened his personal device in an attempt to find out the reason.

Yet upon opening the device, Lu Yan was surprised to find it unable to connect to the network.

Personal devices are not dependent on service providers but directly connect to satellites via signals, and the network disconnection made Lu Yan realize the problem.

"Large-scale signal jammers!"

Large-scale signal jammers were blocking signal transmissions, disconnecting personal devices from the network.

If personal devices are affected, it’s needless to mention the tourists under Beimang Mountain.

Especially those content creators, who came for live streaming and making money from popularity, only to find their phones couldn’t connect to the network, they naturally didn’t want to stay.

Choosing to return to Luocheng, perhaps to quickly post short videos denouncing the misdeeds of the Beimang Mountain scenic area in hopes of gaining the first wave of traffic.

Besides them, other tourists mostly came to join in the excitement, and without internet access, a large number were naturally deterred.

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes, manipulated his personal device, and easily bypassed the signal jam to reconnect online.

With such high interest in Beimang Mountain, Lu Yan expected to find trending titles related to signal blocking, yet there wasn’t a single trending topic related to Beimang Mountain, nor any information about Luocheng.

Browsing through short video platforms, searching for Beimang Mountain yielded blank results.

Over the past few days, related videos about Beimang Mountain numbered in the billions at least, yet such massive attention was forcibly suppressed online, with no indirect mentions in videos or articles, leaving a sense of the unusual.

"Has the Eastern Federation Government intervened?"

Lu Yan frowned, perplexed.

The Spiritual Energy Revival is not necessarily a bad thing for the Eastern Federation, at least not yet, forcibly suppressing it should trigger adverse effects.

There’s no reason or necessity for the Eastern Federation Government to do this.

Lu Yan again operated his device, entered the United States’ network and began searching for information.

Similarly, forums and video websites showed no information about Beimang Mountain.

This shocked Lu Yan somewhat.

The media in the United States is controlled by several major financial powers and political families, who rarely act in unison, even the Congress would find it difficult to quickly obtain a consensus to block information about Beimang Mountain.

The issue is so unusual that Lu Yan could only think of one possibility.

Lu Yan looked up at the sky, where he faintly sensed an invisible malevolence.

"This is retaliation from the Urban Celestial Dao."
