The spirit veins rooted above the earth veins might also slowly disintegrate and vanish due to the scarcity of geographical advantages, failing to et the conditions for their existence.
Therefore, although earth veins are lengthy and profound, an excessive depletion can ruin an entire region.
Although it could recover in the future, that period would be counted in tens of thousands of years.
It was akin to mortgaging the future.
Of course, given the depth of the earth, even an Earth Immortal formation fully extracting from the earth veins each for more than a hundred years, would still struggle to deplete them entirely.
This sustainability is still quite reliable.
This is also why many formations choose earth veins as their energy supply.
The second type, the energy of spirit veins, is the purest and can maximize the power of the formations.
However, the spiritual energy in various blessed lands’ spirit veins, which cultivators usually absorb for cultivation, is still insufficient.
Using it to power formations makes it even scarcer.
Using this type of energy, formations often couldn’t last a few years before the spiritual energy was exhausted, the spirit veins depleted, and the formations destroyed.
Once the spirit veins are depleted, they’re gone for good.
For cultivators who absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, this essentially ans losing their ans of progress.
And for spirit veins to reappear, it would require Heaven and Earth to re-nurture them, which could take countless millennia.
Even then, they might not reappear at the original location but could surface anywhere randomly.
Thus, unless in an ergency, cultivators generally seldom use spirit veins as energy sources for formations.
Because by doing so, even if they win against their enemies, they’ve lost their future—a loss greater than the gain.
As for the third type, the power of the sun, moon, and stars, this causes the least damage.
Because for cultivators, only when practicing certain special techniques or refining specific magical artifacts do they need to collect the essence from these celestial bodies to aid their cultivation.
Normally, there’s little demand for it.
Moreover, the formations resonating with the stars and collecting their power essentially borrow the celestial afterglows, which are the dispersed energies naturally falling toward the earth, causing no harm to the stars themselves.
The role of the formation is rely to make the celestial afterglow that was evenly falling to the earth be slightly biased, opening a special channel directed specifically toward the location of the formation.
This thod of capturing energy is naturally harmless.
However, likewise, since it only involves collecting so dispersed energies, the energy obtained is relatively less.
Relying on the power of these celestial bodies to maintain the operation of an Earth Immortal formation is utterly impossible.
Unless you have stored enough power from the stars within the formation in advance to satisfy its operational needs for a period.
But even then, it’s only for a limited ti.
A normal formation, even with reserved star power, could generally only sustain one or two years, and not for a prolonged period.
This type of energy is more transient than that from spirit veins and is also not as pure.
Under normal circumstances, it can only serve as a supplentary source when the first two types of energy are insufficient—better than nothing.
In summary, activating an Earth Immortal formation, or even any formation, inflicts severe damage on the earth veins.
Therefore, in normal circumstances, Immortal Sects in various regions with any foresight would not permit maintaining any formation for long on their lands.
So more extre ones won’t even allow the establishnt of any formation other than their own protective formations.
Those who defy this rule, if discovered, face execution.
The Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, with its significant size and scope, would not go to such extres, but also would not waste resources casually.
Thus, previously, although there had always been conflicts with Qing Immortal Sect and even so localized battles had erupted,
even so, before officially launching a war, the Earth Immortal formation on the side of Tiann Country remained in a state of partial activation and partial operation.
It only ensured that in the event of a powerful enemy’s invasion, it could imdiately activate all defenses after taking damage and fight with full strength.
The energy required was only a tenth of its loaded state, which is the bare minimum.
However, this was just a standby status.
Now that the enemy had already arrived at the doorstep, maintaining this status was certainly not possible.
Therefore, Ding Wanxuan and ng Jianshan had issued orders for full activation of the formation, shifting to warti command.
As the two discussed, at that mont above the Tiann River, a figure stepped through the heavenly lights, walking in mid-air and landing before the two formations.
"Where is ng Jianshan, co out and face !"
But it was Yao Baojuan, the leader of Qing Immortal Sect, who called out across to the Tiann Country side, his voice booming and spreading across both banks of the river, heard for thousands of miles.
In the center of the river, the Purple Cloud Sect side naturally heard it imdiately.
"Junior brother, it seems this School Leader Yao still wants to say sothing before we start fighting," ng Jianshan turned his head upon hearing his old rival’s voice and smiled at Ding Wanxuan beside him, "Junior Brother should go and set up the formation first. I’ll go out to et him and see what he has to say?"
Ding Wanxuan nodded slightly, "Take care, senior brother."
"I’m off then!"
ng Jianshan laughed heartily, then his figure shifted and he transford into a wisp of purple mist, wafting up into the sky, heading towards the source of the voice.
Seeing this, Ding Wanxuan didn’t linger and imdiately turned to leave, summoning the other True Persons within the formation.
The Qing Immortal Sect had already made their move.
The senior brother was going to et School Leader Yao, which could perhaps delay them with a few words.
He needed to hurry and fully activate the entire formation.
Otherwise, once the enemy attacked, it would be too late to react, and if so parts of the formation were broken, they would stand to suffer so losses.
