When Li Heshan and several disciples of Hundred Beasts Mountain rushed to the area, they saw that the mountain range within a radius of hundreds of feet had been blasted by thunder into a bottomless deep crater!
The mountain rocks had turned to scorched earth, and the ancient trees hundreds of years old around were burning fiercely!
"Elder Ji!"
"Elder!"
"Master!"
He and the group from Hundred Beasts Mountain carefully searched this area.
"Cough! Cough, cough!"
From not far away in a pile of chaotic stones came a faint, familiar coughing sound.
Li Heshan flashed to the front, stirred his Spiritual Power, and with a wave of his hand, all the huge stones weighing hundreds of pounds were overturned, finally finding Ji Yan among the pile of rocks.
At this time, Ji Yan's hair was disheveled, his whole body charred black, and the magic robe at the Magical Artifact level on his body was in tatters, with blood continuously spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Elder Ji!"
"Senior Brother!"
Pei Yuwan, who rushed over afterward, also came nearby.
"Over here!"
Li Heshan called out, carefully removing a few fragments of stone from Ji Yan's body and bending down to help him up.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Ji Yan's breath was weak, and his whole body limp, clearly having sustained very serious injuries.
Pei Yuwan came forward, and the two of them supported him as they walked out.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, several disciples of Hundred Beasts Mountain also gathered, blocking their way.
"Dare I ask Elder Ji, do you know how our elders of Hundred Beasts Mountain are now?"
Ji Yan slightly shook his head, seemingly having no strength even to speak.
Feeling the disorder in his Spiritual Power, Li Heshan immediately looked at the few from Hundred Beasts Mountain and said, "Elder Ji is severely injured; I must quickly take him back for healing, so please step aside."
The few disciples from Hundred Beasts Mountain exchanged glances but did not step aside.
"Elder Ji and our elders of Hundred Beasts Mountain broke the formation together, and now that such a change has occurred, please do tell us what has happened to the elders!"
They had searched around for a long time, but the elders of Hundred Beasts Mountain were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor in corpse form.
As soon as the person's voice fell, Ji Yan, who was being supported by Li Heshan, suddenly turned pale once again, and a large amount of blood erupted from his mouth!
"Go… quick… take this old man out of Yangnao… land…"
Ji Yan's expression was in pain as he managed to utter a sentence with great effort.
Feeling his aura gradually weakening, Li Heshan was anxious in his heart. Without further ado, he directly waved his sleeve and unleashed a surge of Spiritual Power, blasting away the few disciples of Hundred Beasts Mountain in front of him!
Picking up Ji Yan, he flew towards the foot of the mountain!
Seeing this situation, the other disciples from the Immortal Sects who had rushed over looked at one another.
"How could Elder Ji from Qiyun Valley have sustained such severe injuries?"
"Could it be that he was hit by the thunder just now?"
"Impossible, the power of that thunder was too terrifying; if Elder Ji was directly hit, there wouldn't even be a body left!"
"However, this sudden change in the world, could it be because the hidden place of the Flood Dragon corpse has been found?"
"Very likely! Let's hurry over and take a look!"
With this speculation, the disciples from the Immortal Sects all hurried towards the huge crater blasted out by the thunder!
"Senior Sister, should we go over and take a look?"
Behind Wei Qiuling, Yu Jin and other disciples of Luoxia Mountain were eager.
Afraid of being late and having the good things stolen by others.
Wei Qiuling did not speak.
Her gaze turned to the distance, noticing the flying magical artifact, the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, from Qiyun Valley transformed into a stream of light heading towards the barrier.
"Senior Sister?"
Yu Jin came forward with a soft cry.
Wei Qiuling returned to her senses, turned to look at the many disciples from the Immortal Sects rushing forward, and after pondering for a moment, shook her head and said, "Let's not join the hubbub."
"The thunder just now seemed a bit strange, let's leave first and talk about it."
The people of Luoxia Mountain looked at her, with some reluctance in their eyes.
But as Wei Qiuling, the senior master sister of Luoxia Mountain and the Sect Leader's personal disciple, her intentions were something they dared not disobey, thus they could only follow her to walk down the mountain.
As the group reached the foot of the mountain, they felt the oppressive increase of dark clouds overhead!
In an instant, a large number of dense thunders descended from the sky, all striking the place from before.
Upon seeing this scene, Yu Jin shrank his neck in fright.
The others also had faces filled with lingering fear.
With such a dense degree of thunder, everything from that place would likely be pulverized into nothing!
If not for Wei Qiuling telling them to come down… the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This time, those Immortal Sects are probably going to feel heartbroken."
Yu Jin somewhat gleefully watched as the dense thunder continued to fall, seemingly already envisioning the current predicament of the other Immortal Sect disciples.
It was known that the Twelve Immortal Sects had set a rule prohibiting Fetal Breathing Realm experts from interfering with Yangnao Land's affairs.
On the one hand, the Twelve Immortal Sects feared others would gain an advantage, and on the other hand, it was for the disciples' training.
Most Immortal Sects had sent disciples in the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm from the younger generation.
Among them were some candidates for successor Sub Leader positions, like Wei Qiuling and Li Heshan.
Barring any unexpected events, it would not take long for these disciples to break through to the Fetal Breathing Realm, becoming the backbone of the sect.
But now, apart from Li Heshan who left early and those few, it seemed that other ten Immortal Sects, nearly a hundred disciples, had met with trouble.
"This time, thanks to Senior Sister, otherwise we..."
The disciples of Luoxia Mountain quickly bowed to Wei Qiuling.
Before they could finish speaking, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly resounded through the sky from deep within Hidden Dragon Mountain!
The next moment, the dark sky seemed like a net unable to hold back, and a torrential rain suddenly poured down!
Everything around was quickly shrouded in mist.
Wei Qiuling and the others didn't care about anything else and hurried into the temporary tents, looking towards the direction of Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Amidst the vast world, the deep dragon roar came again!
Following that, several people seemed to see a huge black shadow soaring from Hidden Dragon Mountain, flying towards the sky full of dark clouds!
In an instant, the gloomy, terrifying sky seemed like a hot pot of oil with a drop of water, instantly exploding!
Countless dense electric sparks rapidly darted between the clouds!
A massive and terrifying force of Thunder Power rapidly gathered in the cloud layers over Hidden Dragon Mountain.
"Overcoming the tribulation..."
Wei Qiuling's pretty face was stunned, and she couldn't help but murmur the words.
She had once read descriptions in the Sect's ancient texts about the Celestial Tribulation encountered by Purple Mansion Great Powers when breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
The scenes described in the books were extremely similar to what was unfolding before her eyes.
Recalling something suspicious that had just surged into the dark clouds, a frightening thought immediately emerged in Wei Qiuling's mind!
The treasure Hundred Beasts Mountain had been plotting for so long might not be a Flood Dragon Corpse at all, but a living flood dragon!
The moment this thought arose, she was so startled that she leaped in fright!
Not to mention Yangnao Land, who would have thought that in such a place with scarce spiritual energy in the whole of Danzhou, there would be a terrifying flood dragon hidden!
As Wei Qiuling was in a daze, she suddenly realized a domineering Divine Sense was sweeping over her from above!
As her body was scanned by this Divine Sense, goosebumps instantly appeared on her arm!
What a terrifying Divine Sense!
Wei Qiuling felt as if she had been thrown into an ancient Profound Ice Cellar.
Even if the owner of that Divine Sense had a slightest intention to kill, a single thought would be enough to obliterate her soul!
Fortunately, she was not the target.
When Wei Qiuling came to her senses, the pouring rain continued to fall, but the thunder in the distance had clearly weakened a lot.
The pressure in the clouds above seemed to be slowly dissipating.
Combined with the Divine Sense she sensed earlier, she realized that the mysterious flood dragon might have successfully overcome the tribulation.
Flood dragon species also belong to the category of Demon Beasts, and having passed the Celestial Tribulation this time, it is unknown what level it has reached.
As Wei Qiuling pondered, the rain was gradually lessening outside the tent.
Yu Jin came to the tent's entrance, looked at the smoke-shrouded path of Hidden Dragon Mountain, and said, "Senior sister, it seems like everything is over."
"Should we take this chance to check it out, maybe we can pick up some overlooked treasures."
After pondering for a moment, Wei Qiuling nodded.
Flood dragons have a dragon's nature and love to hoard treasures.
Now that the flood dragon has overcome its tribulation and left, perhaps there really are some good things left in its hiding place.
A treasure collected by such a terrifying existence, even a negligible piece, could significantly boost Luoxia Mountain's strength.
A group of several people left the tent, braving the light rain, and flew towards Hidden Dragon Mountain.
Black Water Pool.
Inside the Black Water Pavilion, Shen Yuan and his four sons sat around with Lu Zhiyuan.
Although He County and Black Water Pool are far apart, the commotion just now was so immense that, not to mention Shen Yuan and them far away at Black Water Pool, it is likely that half of Yu Country could clearly feel the terror of the thunder and hear the startling dragon roar.
"This world is going to change."
Lu Zhiyuan was the first to "speak," his voice carrying a faint undertone of gravity.
"What is your take on this, sir?"
Shen Yuan contemplated for a moment before speaking.
Lu Zhiyuan slightly shook his head, "Even I cannot see clearly, but flood dragons cultivate for a millennium, navigate waters, transform into dragons."
"The land of Yu Country could be considered a place where hidden dragons dwell in the future."
"Younger Brother Shen, as an Immortal Dao Cultivator, you should be able to sense some changes happening around us."
Shen Yuan nodded slightly.
Indeed, he felt the surrounding air's Spiritual Qi became more active, denser.
He even suspected that it wouldn't take long for other places beyond Black Water Pool to slowly appear with Spiritual Qi.
By then, the saying "Yangnao land, scarce in Spiritual Qi" might no longer hold true.
"Ah Die, should we start preparing beforehand?"
Shen Wenxing asked.
As a steward of the Ascension Pavilion, he knew some of the actions and trends of the Immortal Sect's immortals, and he could guess why Li Heshan and a group of immortals gathered at He County, orchestrating something.
Now that such a drastic change has occurred in He County, it is uncertain what actions those Immortal Sects will take next.
Should our family make preparations in advance?
Shen Yuan thought for a bit and said, "I remember you said before, there are many Spirit Seeds within the Ascension Pavilion, including quite a few Spirit Rice seeds."
"Take some money with you tomorrow, buy all those Spirit Rice seeds, and buy as many Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruit seeds as you can."
Based on the current situation, it may not take long before most places within Yangnao Land begin to revive slowly.
By then, the surrounding lands and properties could very well become Blessed Lands suitable for Spirit Seed growth.
By acquiring those Spirit Seeds in advance, the Shen Family might be able to gain an advantage during this upheaval.
"Buy them all?"
"That would cost a lot of money."
Shen Wenxing hesitated for a moment and responded.
The Spirit Seeds in the Ascension Pavilion are invaluable, especially some Spirit Medicine and Spirit Fruit seeds, sold by the grain. Though the Shen Family has saved some money in recent years, spending it all on Spirit Seeds still seemed somewhat risky to him.
"No matter, worldly gold and silver are easy to earn."
"But this opportunity for cultivation is not so easily obtained."
"If the family's money is not enough, go to Yunshui Town to ask Wenping for more, just tell her that your father sent you to get it."
Shen Wenxing didn't say much more and immediately got up to prepare for this matter.
"Take this with you."
Shen Yuan stopped him and tossed over his Storage Bag.
Shen Wenxing's eyes lit up at the sight of it.
He knew the use and function of this item, and with the Storage Bag, things would be much more convenient.
"Younger Brother Shen, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave."
"Should you need anything from me, just have Ah Nu come find me."
Lu Zhiyuan stood up, nodded slightly in salutation, and prepared to leave.
Shen Yuan saw him to the door, watched him walk into the distance, and then returned to the pavilion.
Looking at Shen Wen'an and Shen Wenyan, he contemplated briefly, then slowly headed to the third floor of the Black Water Pavilion.
A moment later, he came down holding a Copper Pot that could gather Spiritual Qi into the lower floor.
The Copper Pot accumulated Spiritual Qi too slowly, and within it, there was less than ten drops of Spiritual Liquid left, which he was previously reluctant to use.
But now, with the world drastically changing once again, he couldn't care less about these things.
He decided to prioritize enhancing the family's strength before worrying about anything else.
