Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan stood on the top of Cangsong Pass, looking at the pass below. This pass stood between the mountains, towering and steep. The peaks in the distance were shrouded in clouds and mist, as if an endless chasm stretched across the earth. The mountain wind whistled past, carrying a faint thunderous aura, and the air still retained the tense atmosphere after the battle.

Cangsong Pass is backed by high mountains and in front of it is an endless plain. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Lin Fan looked around and saw that the walls of the pass were covered with ancient runes. It was obviously a defensive formation that had experienced the baptism of time. Although Luo Feng had been defeated, the might of Cangsong Pass still gave people a sense of oppression that could not be ignored. Especially the spiritual energy here was very strong, far exceeding the ordinary city passes they had seen. No wonder Luo Feng chose to stay here.

"This place is indeed extraordinary, the spiritual energy is so dense that it makes people's minds tremble." Lin Fan whispered to himself, with a trace of thought in his eyes. He could feel that the spiritual energy of Cangsong Pass was like a substance surrounding the air, which was not only suitable for cultivators to stay, but also of great help to cultivation.

Jin Buke and Jiang Shuiling stood behind Lin Fan and also noticed the difference between this area and other places. Jin Buke gently twisted a wisp of spiritual energy in the air with his hand and exclaimed: "This Cangsong Pass is indeed a spiritual treasure land. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe that there could be such a rich spiritual energy here."

Jiang Shuiling stood aside, looking up at the mountains in the distance, frowning slightly, and analyzed calmly: "It's not just the spiritual energy. The terrain here is steep. If you defend this pass, one man can block ten thousand men. Luo Feng was able to occupy this place because of the power of wind and thunder and the steep terrain. No wonder he is so arrogant."

Lin Fan nodded slowly, his eyes piercing through the thick clouds and mist, looking straight into the distance. He had realized that this was not just an ordinary pass, but a treasure land that cultivators dreamed of. The concentration of spiritual energy, the might of wind and thunder, and the blessing of the formation were enough to allow any cultivator to rapidly improve his strength here.

"How can I give up a place like this so easily?" Lin Fan said to himself, and then sighed softly.

"Brother Lin Fan," Jiang Shuiling suddenly spoke up and asked softly, "What should we do with Cangsong Pass next? Continue to advance or stay here?"

Lin Fan turned around, looked at Jiang Shuiling, and then looked at Cangsong Pass in the distance. He knew that Jiang Shuiling was testing their next plan. Cangsong Pass was indeed a place of spiritual energy, but the journey ahead was even more difficult and dangerous. Their goal was the capital of Yan State, and the road ahead was full of passes.

"Let's take a look at Luo Feng's residence first." Lin Fan said lightly, and then led everyone through the checkpoint and walked towards the main hall where Luo Feng once lived.

Entering the hall, the air was still filled with a strong spiritual energy, and the walls were covered with wind and thunder runes, as if the whisper of thunder was still echoing in the air. Luo Feng's residence was luxurious and simple, with a thick layer of bluestone bricks on the ground, and several decorations were full of strong spiritual fluctuations. The most eye-catching thing was a huge pile of spiritual stones in the hall.

Lin Fan walked to the pile of spirit stones, his eyes slightly focused. These spirit stones were of extremely high quality, and the spiritual energy fluctuations were almost several times that of the spirit stones outside. They were obviously precious cultivation resources. In addition to the spirit stones, there were also several weapons emitting powerful spiritual energy in the hall. Knives, swords, guns and other weapons were neatly placed aside, as if ready to welcome the next war at any time.

Jin Buke walked forward and casually took a long sword from the shelf. He held it in his hand and felt it for a moment, then smiled softly: "Although these weapons are not bad, they are not outstanding magic weapons for us."

Jiang Shuiling glanced at these weapons casually and said calmly: "Although they are not suitable for us, they are good for equipping the soldiers defending the city."

Lin Fan nodded in agreement: "Yes, although there are no overly powerful magic weapons in Luo Feng's collection, for the soldiers, these weapons are already an excellent improvement."

Jin Buke seemed a little puzzled. He put down his sword, looked at Lin Fan, and asked, "Brother Lin Fan, we have been fighting all the way and there are many checkpoints. Do we have to occupy every checkpoint? There are countless checkpoints along the way. Do we really have to station troops in every place?"

There was a hint of doubt in his tone, and he obviously didn't understand their next plan. It might not be difficult to break through a level, but if they had to attack and defend all the way, they obviously didn't have enough people, and this would undoubtedly delay their progress.

After hearing this, Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "These cities and passes all occupy places with the densest spiritual energy. If we just pass through them blindly without occupying them, these treasures will be recaptured by the enemy sooner or later, which will only add greater resistance to us."

His eyes were stern as he continued, "Not only that, occupying these passes will also be of great benefit to our own cultivation. You have also felt that the spiritual energy in Cangsong Pass is much richer than other places in the outside world. If we can garrison and cultivate at these passes, we will surely be able to quickly improve our strength. Especially in the future war, the importance of spiritual energy treasures is self-evident."

Jiang Shuiling heard this, a hint of agreement flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Brother Lin Fan is right, these spiritual treasures are indeed rare places for cultivation. If we can occupy and use them, it will be more beneficial for our future journey."

Jin Buke scratched his head. Although he was not very familiar with these principles, he always believed in Lin Fan's judgment. He nodded and said simply: "In this case, let's occupy Cangsong Pass and occupy all the passes we encounter in the future! If the troops are insufficient, we can slowly mobilize them."

Lin Fan smiled slightly, and felt a little warm in his heart as he looked at Jin Buke's bold appearance. He knew that although Jin Buke had a straightforward personality, he was never afraid of any challenge and was always his most solid comrade-in-arms.

"That's right. We must not only occupy these passes, but also use them." Lin Fan walked to the center of the hall, raised his head to look at the sky inside the hall, and spoke in a low but determined tone, "Next, there will be many passes, and the enemy will become stronger and stronger, but as long as we can control these spiritual treasures, we will have a foothold. In the future, whether it is training or fighting, we will take the initiative."

At this time, Zhong Ling'er suddenly came up from the back and said with a smile: "Brother Lin Fan, in addition to these spiritual stones and weapons in the hall, I also found some storage rings and talismans, all of which were Luo Feng's private collection. It seems that he has already left a lot of ways for himself."

Lin Fan looked at Zhong Ling'er, nodded, and said, "Then allocate these resources well and prepare for the next battle."

Zhong Linger smiled playfully, walked to the pile of spiritual stones, and began to pack up the storage rings and talismans one by one. Her movements were light and quick, as if she was already accustomed to this kind of scene.

Lin Fan looked far away, thinking about the next journey in his heart. Cangsong Pass was only the first pass, and the road ahead was still very long. He knew that the Yan State's defenders would not underestimate the enemy like Luo Feng did, and would definitely send out more powerful monks and formations to stop them.

However, Lin Fan was not afraid. He held the Qiankun Axe tightly in his hand, and the spiritual energy in his body gradually stabilized under the operation of the Star Art.
