"Co back in a month!"
Another handso middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Yes, let’s go again and see. I don’t believe they truly have such treasures!"
"Senior Brother Luo, would you like to join us?"
"...Alright."
"Then, Senior Brother Luo, how about we invite a few more senior brothers to join us?"
"Exactly, even if they anticipate it, so what? We’ll just reap the benefits!"
"That’s right. After all, Biyuan Heaven is a lower-tier heaven, with limited power. Previously, we were caught off guard, but now that we know, dealing with them should be a piece of cake, shouldn’t it?"
"Correct, so what if they anticipate it? We’ll crush them with sheer power!"
"I estimate that if all nine of us go together, they’ll only be able to avoid us and keep their distance!"
"Unfortunately, we can’t have more than nine people."
"The limitations of the Array are unavoidable, but nine is enough. We should choose elites, Senior Brother Luo?"
"Yes, I will select three capable individuals."
"Good, including you, Senior Brother Luo, that’s four, plus the three of us, we’re missing two. We’ll find two more capable people!"
"Let’s have a grand showdown and show them what strength truly ans!"
"These bumpkins from the lower-tier heaven should really gain so insight!"
"It’s a pity we couldn’t achieve our goal this ti and didn’t reap any benefits. Otherwise, I could have advanced further."
"Junior Brother Lu, you’re just a step away, aren’t you?"
"Yes, just a tiny bit more to break through, what a pity!"
"Next ti, we’ll definitely harvest a wave of souls!"
"Indeed!"
...
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head after reading this, knowing it was useless to listen any further.
So he drifted back and exited the valley, arriving atop a nearby mountain peak.
Beside one peak was another peak, and then another, with majestic peaks linked together, forming a grand dragon-like mountain range.
This magnificent mountain range stretched between heaven and earth, dividing north and south.
The wind from the north was cold, but blocked by the mountains, its chill could not cross over.
Thus, the land south of these mountains was warm like spring, lush with vegetation and full of vitality.
On the mountaintop, his figure suddenly appeared.
The Ascension Technique served as an anchor point, allowing the Earth Origin Technique to easily transport him.
As soon as he appeared, he retracted his aura.
Then, he closed his eyes.
Super Sensing Illumination spread outward, covering a range of two hundred miles, revealing everything clearly.
The area within the range was all mountain forests, with towering mountain ranges and dense trees, seemingly endless.
Only a few places were shrouded in shadows.
His attention was drawn to these shadowy areas, one of which was the opposite valley.
Besides this valley, there were four other shadowed areas, all located within the towering mountain forests.
And within this two-hundred-mile radius, there was an abundance of various Spirit Grass and Spiritual Objects.
The Spirit Grass rarely seen in Biyuan Heaven was everywhere here.
The animals roaming the forest possessed vigorous Essence Qi, far surpassing those in Biyuan Heaven.
There were even two Giant Demons hiding in the dense forest, one of which, a Leopard-shaped Giant Demon, was hunting a group of humans.
This group of human experts consisted of eight individuals, struggling fiercely with the Giant Demon, retreating while fighting.
Six human bodies already lay on the ground.
Their breaths were faint, holding onto their last gasps.
But they could succumb at any mont.
Like candles flickering in the wind.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head silently.
This Giant Demon resembled a leopard, but its body was larger.
With leopard spots all over, its four hooves were snow-white, as if treading on snow.
Its speed was like lightning, and its movents were agile, its eyes shining with a tangible brilliance.
As things stood, these eight people would be dood—they might not last another quarter of an hour.
He didn’t rush to save them; he first observed the operation of their ntal thod, then studied their attire.
These experts were clearly not from the Flower God Sect, but from another faction.
However, their ntal thod relied on the strange light patterns within their bodies.
But these patterns didn’t form the shape of roses; they ford bamboo.
The bamboo ford by the light patterns within each expert varied in number of segnts, so had eight, so nine, and varied in thickness, so thick, so thin.
The level of their Cultivation was closely related to the bamboo ford by these light patterns.
Those with higher Cultivation had more segnts, and among those with the sa number of segnts, the thicker ones were stronger than the thinner ones.
The experts lying on the ground often had fewer segnts, and those segnts were thinner.
Chu Zhiyuan observed this and was deep in thought.
It seed that the path of Cultivation in Dan Yang Heaven differed from those in Biyuan Heaven, Little Outer Heaven, and Outer Heaven.
These light patterns were fundantal; they were the manifestation and source of power.
His mind stirred slightly.
The next mont, Zhu Lingyun appeared.
He flickered into the air, lightly appearing behind the Leopard-shaped Giant Demon, silently pointing a finger.
He seed like a phantom; the Leopard-shaped Giant Demon didn’t even react before being tapped on the back of the head.
The Wanxiang Returning to God Technique ignored defenses, concealing its aura and blending seamlessly with the world.
This Demon, which harmonized with the world, couldn’t sense any aura fluctuations and didn’t detect him.
A strong force was instantly injected into the Giant Demon, causing it to freeze montarily.
The eight experts seized the opportunity, attacking with all their might, their palms emitting a shimring erald light that condensed into a bamboo leaf, fluttering onto the Giant Demon.
The Leopard-shaped Giant Demon was suddenly lifted into the air.
It roared in the sky, sending out a ring of red light that collided with the drifting erald bamboo leaf.
"Boom boom boom..."
The erald bamboo leaf and red light collided, producing a thunderous muffled explosion.
The Leopard-shaped Giant Demon was sent flying backward, continuing to emit rings of red light.
The eight experts strained, light patterns surging from within their bodies, gradually converging and growing brighter, forming a light bamboo.
The light bamboo swayed gently, making their palm force even greener and more vibrant.
Its power was stronger, making it nearly impossible for the Giant Demon’s red light rings to hold back.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
This was already a desperate move, using the last of their strength.
If this wave couldn’t repel the Giant Demon, they would lose the ability to fight back.
The Giant Demon surely saw this as well.
So, they were making a last-ditch, life-and-death effort.
The Leopard Giant Demon glared fiercely at Zhu Lingyun, ignoring the fierce attacks of the eight, and lunged at Zhu Lingyun.
Zhu Lingyun drifted backward, retreating into the forest in a blink.
The Leopard Giant Demon roared and pursued, quickly leaving the range of the eight’s attacks.
The eight experts no longer pursued but stopped their actions, hurrying to aid the six on the ground.
They fed the six Spirit Pills and took Spirit Pills themselves, then prepared to leave while carrying the six on their backs.
As for Zhu Lingyun, they paid no more attention.
Zhu Lingyun’s Qinggong was superb; it was evident he could escape the Leopard Giant Demon’s pursuit.
The imdiate priority was to get as far away as possible before the Leopard Giant Demon returned.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
Even in such dire situations, they didn’t forget to take their companions—these experts had comndable character.
The Golden Sword suddenly shot out, lightly piercing through the heart of the Giant Demon.
With strong spiritual power, along with vast rit and Faith Power, the Golden Sword’s power was even more impressive.
To kill this Giant Demon, there was no need for the Demon Suppressing Saber or Guanghan Palace’s secret technique.
The Golden Sword passed through the Giant Demon, returning to Chu Zhiyuan’s waist.
And Zhu Lingyun drifted over to the group of experts.
A burly middle-aged man cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir, for your assistance. I am ng Qingchuan of the Green Bamboo Sect, may I know your na..."
"Zhu Lingyun," Zhu Lingyun replied frankly, "May I ask where this place is?"
"This is Azure Dragon Mountain."
"Azure Dragon Mountain... Where is Azure Dragon Mountain?"
"Sir, where are you from?"
"Wanxiang Cliff," replied Zhu Lingyun.
"Wanxiang Cliff..." The eight shook their heads as they ran.
None of them had heard of it.
Chu Zhiyuan had already appeared near another shadowy area.
