The Transcendent Immortal

“Why, why do you have to keep one person by my side?”

These faint words caused the 12 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance to tremble. Qingluan quickly cupped her hands together and said, “I was just thinking that I would leave one of Levitating Dark Fragrance by your side. Once you run into danger, the rest of us will be able to catch up with you as soon as possible.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, “I’m just asking. Let’s go.”

Along the way, the 12 people kept silent. Huangfu Xin’er did not say anything as well. After they left the Blue Water Altar for more than 10 kilometers, they gathered together to discuss the next destination.

Yi Tong said, “I wonder if you have noticed that there was a strange energy fluctuation on the way when we were chased by the Immortals’ League that day?”

Xiao Chen frowned. When he was chased that day, he was in a hurry. How could he notice this? He asked, “Brother Yi, what did you find?”

“Are you talking about the place that’s 250 kilometers west from here? There’s a mountain range with the terrain of the dragon vein there,” Gui Xian suddenly said.

Yi Tong smiled and said, “Senior Gui Xian is very attentive. That’s the place, but the source of power doesn’t seem to come from the mountains. It seems to be coming through the mountain range. That’s how the terrain of the dragon vein was formed after a long time.”

The rest of the company had a rough idea of what was going on. They said no more and headed straight for the place Yi Tong was talking about. This time, everyone had recovered from their injuries and regained their strength. Naturally, they were flying on their swords. In less than an hour, they would be able to travel 250 kilometers.

The crowd stepped on the flying swords and looked down. They saw a meandering mountain range, which was really like a dragon from ancient times. The place opposite the dragon head was in the direction of everyone. Xiao Chen could faintly feel that the dragon head seemed to have sent out an ‘unusual force’, but this did not seem to be an unusual force. Instead, it seemed more like a mutated spirit energy.

“Do you feel it?”

Xiao Chen looked at Qingluan and the others and asked. Qingluan frowned tightly. Ziyun’er held the Koo-chee in her arms and asked blankly, “What? It’s just an ordinary mountain range, isn’t it?”

Yang Qing and the others looked at each other with questions. Even though their cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they could not sense any strange power at all. It was clearly just an ordinary mountain range with a terrain similar to that of a divine dragon. That was why it was called the Dragon Meridian Mountains.

In fact, there was really a force fluctuation here, but not everyone could feel it. The Gui Xian’s soul perception was extremely strong, so he could feel it. Xiao Chen, like him, had a strong soul perception ability, so he could also feel it, and so could Yi Tong.

So among the twenty over people here, only three of them could feel the power. Yi Tong looked at the endless mountains and said slowly, “The power seems like the power of the Earth Spiritual Meridian but it’s not. Let’s go. Let’s go through the Dragon Meridian Mountains and have a look.”

Immediately, they rode their swords to the south again. The Dragon Meridian Mountains below, one after another mountain, was as though boundless. Finally, after a quarter of an hour, they crossed the Dragon Meridian Mountains. But Xiao Chen could feel that the force had not disappeared yet, which was enough to show that the source of the force was not from the Dragon Meridian Mountains.

After moving for hundreds of miles, they suddenly saw dark clouds in front of them with purple lightning rolling in the clouds. The scene was terrifying. Xiao Chen immediately called everyone to stop, “Stop! Get down quickly!”

However, before he could finish his sentence, a bolt of purple lightning with a radius of thousands of feet suddenly came at them. Everyone’s face changed, and they immediately joined forces to support the defensive Barrier. With a loud boom, the Barrier supported by the twenty over people was broken in an instant. Everyone was shocked, their bodies were numb, and they quickly fell to the ground.

When they landed on the ground, everyone still felt scared. The purple lightning just now was comparable to the Heavenly Punishment. Even if a cultivator in the Apotheosis Realm was hit, his body and soul would be destroyed. “But why is this place full of thunder and clouds? It is too weird.”

Yang Qing and the others looked at each other in shock. The faces of the 12 people in the Levitating Dark Fragrance Under the Moon turned grave. Qingluan asked, “Lord, what should we do now?”

Xiao Chen looked to the front and saw that countless scorched soil, large rocks had fallen, and many trees were burnt. But since it used to have trees here, it meant that there were no thunderclouds in the past. This strange thundercloud should have only appeared recently, and it was very likely that it had been pulled by some kind of force.

“Be careful. When going through this place, put away all the flying sword weapons and other items.”

At the moment, everyone put away the flying sword and other metal objects before they carefully walked to the front. The Koo-chee monster lay in Ziyun’er’s arms, blinking its big eyes and did not dare to move. Everyone also walked separately. When they walked for 1.5 to 2.5 kilometers, they only saw that their surroundings were charred and there were flashes of purple lightning coming down from time to time. Each time the lightning fell, it was accompanied by booming thunders. The impact was very strong.

Everyone could feel that the air was vibrating, so they were careful. Although the lightning that fell on the ground was much weaker than the lightning in the sky, it also had a destructive force that could not be withstood by one or two people.

Finally, after walking for more than five kilometers, they gradually left the thunderclouds. The flowers and plants in front of them gradually flourished, but because of the thunderclouds nearby, there were no birds or beasts, so it looked dead silent. Everyone looked back and saw the black clouds and purple lightning rolling. At this moment, they still felt a little shocked. If a cultivator could use such a powerful magic spell, it would be amazing. Perhaps only a Genuine Immortal had this ability.

Xiao Chen frowned. There would not be such a large area of thunderclouds here for no reason. It must have been pulled by the strange force. It was easy to explain. Just like the cultivators who could control the wind and rain, freeze the ice and call upon thunder, in fact, they only used their own strength to lead the power between heaven and earth. Cultivators used powerful thunder magic, such as the Five Thunder Bombardment of Sky. In fact, they only used their own strength to pull the power between heaven and earth, not by themselves.

“That strange force seems to still exist. Brother Xiao, why don’t we take a closer look?” Yi Tong said as he looked at him.

“Sure.” Xiao Chen nodded. He had the same idea. If he wanted to establish his own power now, he would need a huge amount of it. This power included manpower, as well as the Force of Nature. Both were indispensable.

The company continued their journey for another 10 kilometers until they reached a river. The wind howled and grass and trees flew in all directions. Ziyun’er looked at the river in the distance, her eyes wide open with shock. The rest of the company also revealed shocked expressions at this moment.

“Nine Dragons Drawing Water!”

Yang Qing could not help but exclaim. The man next to him was even more shocked and his voice was trembling, “Oh my god, it’s the Nine Dragons Drawing Water. I could actually see such a peculiar scene with my own eyes in my life! It’s incredible!”

Nine white water columns rushed into the sky. Each of the water columns was as thick as a palace pillar as if they were going to break through the clouds. There was no end to it. The momentum was horrifying and frightening.

“What, what’s going on…” Ziyun’er said in a daze. She could not believe what she saw.

Xiao Chen frowned. It was very rare for Nine Dragons Drawing Water to occur. Normal people would think that there was a Demon or the Dragon King had raged. Some cultivators believed that there was a dragon that appeared or a Dissimilated Man had born. In fact, the reason for the appearance of most of the Nine Dragons Drawing Water peculiar scenes was that the power of heaven and earth was attracted by some kind of force.

“Nine Dragons Drawing Water is a rare sight that appears once in a thousand years. Brother Xiao, there might be something good waiting for you in front,” Yi Tong said with a faint smile.

Xiao Chen gradually relaxed his brows and said with a smile, “I dare not covet the boundless power of heaven and earth easily.” Then he looked at the people behind him and said, “Let’s go, cross the river. Be careful. Remember to leave a thousand feet away from these water columns.”

They took out their flying sword again and flew to the opposite bank of the river. When they were about to reach the opposite side of the river after leaving the nine water columns, they saw many deep blue vortexes in the center of the river below. Each whirlpool was more than 100 feet wide and was deep. It made people felt chills on their backs.

“Nowadays, there are frequent strange phenomena in all parts of Violet Manor. It seems that something big is going to happen.”

They arrived at the opposite bank of the river. There were reeds growing on the bank that rose and fell with the wind. The scene on the other bank was completely different as if they had entered another world.

“It seems that the faint strange power has disappeared?” Xiao Chen said with a frown.

Gui Xian looked grave and shook his head. “No, it had not. The other side of the river should be the place where the power leaked. That’s why there’s a strange phenomenon. But the source of this power should be…” He turned to look in the southeast direction.

After a moment of silence, Gui Xian turned back to look at him with a faint smile on his face. “Kid, God never helped you in the past. This time, it seems that God is finally helping you.” In the end, he raised his head and smiled. “Let’s go!”

Xiao Chen did not quite understand what he meant, but he was very experienced. If he said so, it must be not a bad thing. He relaxed a little, and then everyone continued to ride on the sword to the southeast direction.

This time, the speed of everyone on their swords was not very fast. They carefully observed the mountains and rivers below. When they flew hundreds of miles away, Gui Xian suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, “Stop!”

Everyone immediately stopped and looked down. They saw that there was a big city below, but there was no one in the city. Many houses had collapsed, weeds were everywhere, and the streets were full of thistles. The buildings were covered with vines, and some animals with strange shapes could be seen passing through the streets.

Everyone was a little surprised. Although the ancient city below had been turned into ruins, the outline of the buildings could still be seen clearly. The architecture of these buildings was different from that of the present five continents of the Violet Manor. Moreover, judging from the age, it should have been from a long time ago, at least more than 3,000 years ago.

Everyone looked at each other and felt very strange that no one here had ever discovered it. Yang Qing murmured, “Could it be… an ancient relic?”

Xiao Chen did not speak. His brows were slightly furrowed. The ancient city below was at least a few thousand years old. Could it be the city of his era? Looking at the ruins below, and many buildings that had been buried in the soil, Xiao Chen could not help but feel a little sad.

Yi Tong smiled and said, “That’s right. If I’m right about the source of that strange power, it’s right below this city.”
