Chapter 1487: Heaven Capital Dragon King's Breakthrough, Storm Descends

Diewumeng, after obtaining the pill, quickly left Longshe Shan; no one knows she ever went to Longshe Shan, nor anyone knows her whereabouts, and the members of the Luotian White Snake Clan outside cannot detect her presence.

Qinglong Daoren obtained many fine items, but unfortunately his true body is temporarily of no use; he is still indulging among women, with two women by his side, reveling to the point of forgetting his home.

White Deer King was in seclusion; after entering Longshe Shan, he opened a cave dwelling and went straight into seclusion. Qinglong Daoren gave him some pills; White Deer King immediately went into seclusion and will not emerge for a short time. He had never had a chance to seclude before; this time he finally found an opportunity, and could not help but cultivate properly.

Inside Longshe Shan, only Qinglong Daoren remains. He does have matters to attend to; many tasks must be done, and he himself needs to cultivate to quickly catch up with his true body's level, lest he remain as weak as before. Within the Mangshan Mountain Range, there are many Strong Ones, while the weak have no right to live.

A few months later.

Tian Du Men, beneath Great River Peak.

Outside the Heaven Capital Dragon Palace, the silent Dragon Palace, there is no one except the Heaven Capital Dragon King. Outside, disciples of Great River Peak stand guard; each day there are disciples on duty. These disciples are not weak, protecting the Heaven Capital Lake below; anyone without permission is not allowed to approach.

Holy Maiden Bai Hang, as the chief responsible, oversees the surrounding security; the other disciples obey her orders. That day, as usual, she kept watch. This is her current task; she is the only one suitable for the entire Great River Peak, the other disciples are not fit for this work.

Her master specially assigned her this duty; she cannot shirk or refuse. She stays nearby, checking several times a day, and must ensure the safety below. She has countless tasks, unable to cultivate, unable to seclude, and even more unable to leave.

The matters of the transaction were also delayed; she had no recourse but to keep watch over the Heaven Capital Dragon King. The Dragon King's safety is more important than anyone's, surpassing everything. She dives into the lake bottom, inspecting its condition; this is something she must do daily, to ensure any movement inside the Dragon Palace.

If any movement occurs, she must immediately report to her master and others. When she arrived outside the Formation of the Heaven Capital Dragon Palace and had just stopped, a tremor came from within the Palace; the protective Formation showed signs of movement, and the Heaven Capital spiritual energy inside suddenly changed dramatically, causing the lake water outside to shift as well. Holy Maiden Bai Hang immediately flew out to the lake bottom, daring not to stay below.

Just after she left, a vortex appeared on the lake surface below—a massive vortex, drawing in heaven-and-earth spiritual energy to replenish what the Heaven Capital Dragon King needs. The Heaven Capital Dragon Palace's heaven-and-earth spiritual energy was insufficient, and the spiritual stones could not satisfy the Dragon King. Without waiting for Holy Maiden Bai Hang's report, the Heaven Capital True Person instantly appeared overhead, accompanied by several figures.

"Junior brothers and sisters, set up the Formation immediately."

At the Heaven Capital True Person's command, several people spread out, forming a Formation that enveloped the lake surface below, allowing no movement to leak out.

The action was swift; in an instant the Formation spread, covering everything, and simultaneously they began channeling true Qi toward the vortex at the lake bottom, extracting massive amounts of spiritual stones to transport spiritual energy.

With their transmission, the movement below finally stabilized.

The vortex continued, requiring a great amount of spiritual energy, still absorbing.

Holy Maiden Bai Hang looked up at the figures above, her heart trembling as she said, "Sect Leader Uncle, Elder Emei Uncle, Reverse Azure Dragon Uncle, they have all arrived."

Besides those, there were several people Bai Hang had never seen before; those individuals are the hidden forces of Tian Du Men.

Several Peak Lords arrived; these people are all Strong Ones of Tian Du Men, each a hegemon-like figure.

This time, they all emerged; normally it is very hard to see any of them, but now all have been seen.

Except for her master who was away, the other Peak Lords all arrived.

Tian Du Men has four peaks in total, namely Heaven Capital Peak; its Peak Lord is the Heaven Capital True Person, who is also the sect leader of Tian Du Men, the one who controls everything.

Emei Peak, whose Peak Lord is the Emei True Person, is the second Senior Uncle, whose sword cultivation is formidable.

There is also Dragon King Peak, whose Peak Lord is Reverse Azure Dragon, positioned fourth; his strength must not be underestimated. He is the youngest, yet his power is not the weakest.

Lastly is their Great River Peak, the weakest in power, weakest in all aspects, with few members, disciples of low cultivation, and mediocre talent. The main reason is that her master recruits disciples differently; regardless of talent, if he takes a liking, he will accept them.

The arrival of these Peak Lords shows how much they value the situation of the Heaven Capital Dragon King. Holy Maiden Bai Hang lowered her head, staring at the vortex; the dense heaven-and-earth spiritual energy was being sucked in, and they, within the Formation, could not absorb that spiritual energy.

The chaotic heaven-and-earth spiritual energy all entered the vortex, then flowed into the body of the Heaven Capital Dragon King. Holy Maiden Bai Hang kept watching; she knew that this Dragon King's breakthrough would determine Tian Du Men's arrangements for the next thousand years, should it fail.

For the Heaven Capital Dragon King, it would be... a massive injury; given his current condition, he cannot sustain another breakthrough.

A failed breakthrough would wound the body, and the Dragon King's body does not permit him to be injured again.

"Dragon King, you must succeed."

She knows that if the Heaven Capital Dragon King fails to breakthrough, Tian Du Men will also decline. Once Tian Du Men loses the Dragon King, they will be targeted by other sects, and the Mangshan Demon Palace will not spare them. At that point, they would be besieged from all sides; Tian Du Men cannot avoid collapse.

This is a true matter of life and death; how could the sect leaders not come?

The breakthrough continued, lasting three days straight.

By the third day, it could no longer be suppressed; the momentum of the breakthrough spread outward.

Beyond Tian Du Men, many eyes were watching their situation; in an instant, the surrounding sects all became aware.

Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace, the Mangshan Demon Emperor opened his eyes, popped a pill, and his strength recovered considerably. He sensed that fluctuation—the familiar fluctuation as well as the enemy's—and realized that his mortal rival was about to begin a breakthrough.

"Finally this day has arrived. Heaven Capital Soul, you have at last reached this point. To achieve a successful breakthrough, hm, impossible."

"How could I, the Emperor, tolerate your successful breakthrough? I will not allow you to breakthrough."

"This time, by any means, I will stop your breakthrough."

"Heaven Capital Soul, this time I will not stand by and watch you breakthrough. Previously you have blocked me many times; now it is my turn."

He stood up, immediately summoning the other Demon Kings; Diewumeng and the others rushed up the mountain at once.

The Mangshan Demon Emperor got straight to the point: "Three Demon Kings, this time the Heaven Capital Dragon King seeks to breakthrough; you must have felt it as well. He must not succeed. I need you to accompany me to Tian Du Men to stop the Heaven Capital Soul's breakthrough."

Diewumeng clasped his hands and said, "As you command."

Hei Hu: "No problem."

Feng Wang: "Demon Emperor, please lead the way."

The Luotian White Snake Clan, Bai Xinlan also received the order; this matter concerns the future of the entire Mangshan Demon Palace.

She could not act solely for herself.
