The countless flying energy swords that were flying around the nine mountains flew toward the Grand Mystic Hall in unison as though they had received an order. They converged in the sky, shining dazzlingly, before they flew toward the hall. Their light radiated out toward the other eight mountains. Finally, they shot into the vortex in the sky, forming a canopy-like barrier.

Vitality energy between heaven and earth, manipulated by the vortex, surged into Lu Zhou’s body, showing no signs of stopping.

Lu Zhou felt that this was beyond his understanding. He sat down cross-legged in the air without hesitation. At this moment, he did not pay attention to the changes of the nine mountains nor did he have time to worry about Little Yuan’er and Conch at this moment. Moreover, with Shang Zhang by their sides, he did not need to worry too much.

Lu Zhou’s body shone with a calming golden light immediately as the vitality energy from the mountains continued to surge into him like a tide.

Buzz!

Lu Zhou looked at his lifespan on the system interface that was increasing at an unbelievable speed.

10,000 days.

20,000 days.

Although Lu Zhou’s mathematical skills were quite good, he did not have the energy to calculate how much lifespan he had gained when he saw the numbers that were increasing crazily.

Lu Zhou closed his eyes and meditated on the Heavenly Writing. He used the divine power to cover his entire body, protecting his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Too much of a good thing might not always be good, after all. Based on how intense the surging vitality energy was, he had to make sufficient preparations to prevent his body from exploding and dying. Whether or not the vitality energy belonged to him, he had to be careful.

The divine mark robe rustled slightly as a long dragon circled him. It was the ancient Dragon Soul that he had subdued.

Roar!

The dragon’s roar resounded through heaven and earth.

Following that, light burst forth from the vortex about the Grand Mystic Hall, turning everything blindingly white.

…

“Master!” Little Yuan’er called out. She could sense her master’s aura from the light radiating from the Grand Mystic Hall.

Shang Zhang could not help but exclaim in surprise, “Such powerful vitality energy is very rare in this world! How can there be so much vitality energy at Grand Mystic Mountain?”

Xuanyi said, “In ancient times, the Unholy One set up the Grand Mystic Formation here to protect the nine mountains. Under every mountain is the source of life. After the Unholy One disappeared, the Sacred Temple and the ten halls tried to use various methods to break the formation. Alas, those powerful supreme beings managed to come to Grand Mystic Mountain, but they were unable to break the formation and obtain the power here,” Xuanyi said. Then, he looked up at the sky with a sigh before he said, “It’s fate that has been written in the dark…”

Shang Zhang said, “There’s something I’ve never been able to understand. With his strength, even if he can’t defeat those people at that time, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to escape. How did they defeat him?”

Upon hearing these words, Xuanyi scoffed. “Do you really think they were capable of that?”

Shang Zhang looked at Xuanyi, perplexed, before he said, “What do you mean?”

Xuanyi replied, “Humans are the first to come into existence in this world. We claim to be the most intelligent, but among living things, we have the most obvious weaknesses. Perhaps, due to our intelligence, there were many conflicts. As the most intelligent beings in the world, do you think if those people wanted to attack the Unholy One, they would attack him when he was at his strongest?”

“You mean to say he was ambushed?” Shang Zhang asked.

Xuanyi sighed softly. “In the end, he was the cause of his own defeat. He chose to pursue a lone path of cultivation all his life. It was a path that no one had ever walked on. That path is destined to be fraught with danger and filled with twists and turns.”

Shang Zhang nodded. “You seem to have a good relationship with him.”

Xuanyi answered seriously and honestly, “To tell you the truth, I’d received guidance from him when I was young. Hence, it’s not an exaggeration for me to call him teacher. No matter what the others say, I don’t care.”

“Well said,” Shang Zhang said.

As soon as Shang Zhang finished speaking…

Boom!

The Grand Mystic Hall exploded.

The rubble and debris flew into the vortex. Without the protection of the formation, the Grand Mystic Hall, which had completed its mission, finally collapsed. It was reduced to dust before it was scattered in the air.

Everyone looked up and saw Lu Zhou, who shone with a golden light, sitting cross-legged in the air as vitality energy surged into his body.

The commotion from the Grand Mystic Mountain spread for tens of thousands of miles in all directions.

…

In the Sacred Temple.

Ming Xin, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed south as he called out, “Zui Can.”

A figure appeared at a corner of the hall and said with a slight bow, “Your orders, Your Majesty?”

“Go and have a look at Grand Mystic Mountain,” Ming Xin said.

“Grand Mystic Mountain has been quiet for 100,000 years, and there’s an ancient formation protecting it. Why did Your Majesty suddenly want me to go there to have a look?”

“The scales have tilted. I suspect there’s movement from the ancient Frost Dragon there,” Ming Xin replied.

“Understood,” Zui Can replied with a nod before he flashed away.

…

Grand Mystic Mountain.

The commotion grew bigger and bigger as huge cracks appeared on the other eight mountains.

Shang Zhang swept two fingers past his eyes before they shone with a golden light. He looked at the foot of the mountain and said, “Follow me.”

Shang Zhang waved his hand, bringing Little Yuan’er and Conch with him. At the same time, a brilliant light appeared around him as though he was an immortal descending from the heavens.

Little Yuan’er’s eyes widened in shock. She knew the young attendant had been hiding his strength, but now that she saw the brilliant light, if she still truly could not understand what the brilliant light represented, she would be truly stupid. ‘Heavens! Is the little attendant Old Man Shang Zhang?!’

Little Yuan’er was no longer the unrestrained and naive girl from before. Through the passing of time, she had learned what to say and what not to say. She glanced at Conch from the corners of her eyes and found that Conch’s expression was normal. Then, she began to struggle internally, wondering if she should tell Conch about her discovery.

As the trio flew out, Shang Zhang’s protective energy blocked the rocks that were flying in all directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xuanyi, who was flying behind them, asked, “Is it really going to collapse?”

Shang Zhang said, “It seems like the Grand Mystic Formation has completed its mission now that a new master has appeared. Everything is returning to dust…”

The four of them turned to look at the eight mountains with a hint of reluctance. Only the Grand Mystic Mountain in the middle remained stable. After all, this was the cultivation ground of the Unholy One. It was once feared, respected, and admired by many people. How could they not feel the slightest bit of reluctance now that it was about to collapse?

Finally, Shang Zhang said, “The old has to leave to make way for the new…”

Xuanyi looked at Lu Zhou excitedly as he said, “You’re right!”

The four people were shrouded in protective energy as they hovered in the sky south of Grand Mystic Mountain as they continued to watch this exciting scene.
