North Suburbs of New Sea City, Azure Mountain.

Noah appeared in the air, looking down.

His manor was still under construction, but it had already begun to take shape.

Without disturbing the construction team, Noah flew further outward. There was no need to place the Small Spirit Vein and the micro spirit veins in the same location. As long as they were not too far apart, the diffused spiritual energy in the surrounding area would not be weaker than at the core placement point.

If the spirit vein could not be relocated after being placed, he would definitely consider moving the micro spirit veins instead.

After nearly a month, Noah already had a clear understanding of the range of influence of the micro spirit veins.

With the placement point as the center, the spiritual energy concentration was highest within a radius of one hundred meters. Within one kilometer, the concentration dropped by one level, and beyond that, within ten kilometers, it dropped by another level.

The maximum effective coverage of spiritual energy extended to roughly a twenty-kilometer radius.

Beyond this range, the spiritual energy became so faint that it was nearly nonexistent. For people in those outer areas, it was, at most, comparable to breathing slightly fresher air.

At present, about half of New Sea City was enveloped in spiritual energy. Within this area, vegetation thrived, growing lush and vibrant, full of vitality, forming a stark contrast with the rest of the city.

People living within this environment could feel their bodies improving day by day. Illnesses became less frequent, their energy increased, and even their efficiency in cultivating the Body Strenthening Skill improved significantly.

Housing prices in this area had also risen significantly as a result.

All these changes were brought about by a single micro spirit vein.

Now, Noah was about to place a Perfect-grade Small Spirit Vein.

He suspected that its range of influence would extend across a large portion of a province, greatly increasing the spiritual energy density throughout New Sea City and turning it into a geomantically auspicious land in the eyes of ordinary people.

Naturally, Azure Mountain and Noah’s manor, being the closest, would benefit the most.

At the foot of Azure Mountain, he found a scenic location with clear waters and lush surroundings, about eight hundred meters from his manor. With a slight movement of his hand, Noah placed the Small Spirit Vein.

The Small Spirit Vein transformed into a dense, earthy-yellow stream of energy and sank deep into the ground.

"Rumble..."

As the Small Spirit Vein merged with the earth, the entire Azure Mountain trembled slightly. Anyone standing on the ground could clearly feel the vibration.

The construction team at the manor thought an earthquake was about to occur and immediately halted their work.

Fortunately, the tremor was minor, and aside from the initial shock, no damage was caused.

The ground continued to shake for a short while before gradually settling down. Soon, an incredibly rich surge of spiritual energy spread outward from beneath the earth, and the concentration in the surrounding area rose rapidly, quickly surpassing the limits of the micro spirit veins.

Taking a deep breath, Noah felt a sense of comfort wash over his entire body.

"A place of famous mountains and flowing rivers, a true land of fortune... it’s probably nothing more than this."

A satisfied expression appeared on Noah’s face.

Although a high concentration of spiritual energy wasn’t particularly useful to him, living in such a geomantically blessed place was undeniably pleasant.

[You have placed a Small Spirit Vein, granting Blue Star an inexhaustible source of world spiritual energy and allowing it to step into the Extraordinary. You have gained a large amount of favor from the world will (Incubating).]

[You have obtained a temporary authority: Specified Reward (Fourth-Order) ×1]

[You have obtained a temporary authority: Specified Reward (Third-Order) ×3]

[You may choose one authority to upgrade.]

"I choose Refinement."

As Noah made his choice, the Refinement authority finally changed, advancing to Level 9.

"As expected of a Perfect-grade item."

Looking at his gains, Noah felt deeply satisfied.

The rewards from a Perfect-grade item were far superior to those from a Rare-grade one.

Not only did it grant Specified Rewards for the Third Order, but it also provided one for the Fourth Order. Although it still couldn’t compare to the Nine Provinces Cauldron, it was significantly stronger than both world shards and world origin.

Compared to the Rare-grade micro spirit veins, it was on an entirely different level.

Back when the micro spirit veins were placed, there hadn’t even been a single authority granted, let alone a Specified Reward.

"The gap is too large. It’s almost as if the micro spirit veins weren’t Rare-grade, but merely Excellent-grade," Noah said with a hint of emotion.

Regarding this, Noah understood that only Perfect-grade Small Spirit Veins could truly be considered genuine spirit veins, capable of continuously generating world spiritual energy.

In contrast, the micro spirit veins originated from the Challenge: Showdown at the Forbidden City Instance. That world was essentially a martial arts setting, and the micro spirit veins formed within it were inherently flawed. Given enough time, they might even wither away, making the presence of world spiritual energy only a temporary phenomenon. This explained the vast difference in effect.

This time, even the system prompt was different.

It stated that Blue Star had stepped into the Extraordinary.

This meant that, even without considering the factors of being an Awakened World, Blue Star had undergone a fundamental transformation, evolving from an Ordinary World into an Extraordinary World.

Noah clearly understood that an Extraordinary World and an Awakened World were not strictly separate concepts.

The Supreme Will not only transformed selected Ordinary Worlds into Awakened Worlds, but also incorporated certain Extraordinary Worlds into that transformation.

These Extraordinary Worlds, once transformed into Awakened Worlds, became exceptionally powerful. Regardless of their Civilization Index or Race Potential, they far surpassed those that originated from ordinary worlds.

An Awakened World that evolved from an ordinary world could also continue to strengthen its foundation and eventually advance into an Extraordinary World.

This allowed Awakeners to grow stronger through cultivation, progressing along two paths simultaneously.
