Chapter 248: Prepare Yourself!

"A major disaster has occurred!"

"An Avatar of an Evil Spirit is holding a sacrificial ceremony in the Ten Thousand Mountains; it intends to sacrifice the entire Ten Thousand Mountains!"

"Quickly pack your valuables and flee for your lives!"

"An Immortal Boat? What Immortal Boat would take us in now? I fear even an Old Ancestor couldn't secure a spot!"

"Hurry!"

In one Immortal City, the residents were slow to react; by the time the upper echelons of the Immortal City had already mobilized to head toward the Ten Thousand Mountains, the small and medium-sized families only received the news—which had passed through who knows how many hands—via their personal connections.

Then, they were struck with panic and wanted to flee.

Just as there was chaos in many estates and quite a few people were preparing to leave the city,

suddenly, a Golden Talisman flew into the sky above the Immortal City and emitted an announcement that resounded throughout the entire city:

"The matter of the Ten Thousand Mountains has been settled. All residents of the city need not panic and should continue to fulfill their respective duties!"

"Settled? Who are you trying to fool!"

"The thirty-six Immortal Cities combined can only rely on the Heavenly Net formation to protect themselves; entering the Ten Thousand Mountains where an Avatar of an Evil Spirit resides is nothing but seeking death, isn't it?"

"They are definitely trying to deceive us, wanting us to stay and defend the Immortal City with them until we die!"

Some Cultivators were full of disbelief, and the more they understood the foundation of the Immortal City, the less they believed it.

However, the caster of that Golden Talisman was clearly aware of this point.

Soon, the Golden Talisman emitted light once again, projecting various scenes of the current Ten Thousand Mountains into the sky.

Among them, a particularly important scene was the appearance of the Baiyuan Yaohuang scolding the others.

Seeing that Baiyuan Yaohuang.

The Cultivators within the city immediately gasped in shock.

The World-Confusing Demon Emperor, Baiyi Shanjun!

A top-tier, rare-breed Demon Beast that is hard to see even once in a thousand years among Demon Beasts!

With heaven-defying comprehension, heaven-defying aptitude, and even more chivalrous qualities that put them, the Cultivators, to shame!

Seeing such a Baiyuan Yaohuang actually become a guardian deity, listening to someone's commands.

The Cultivators could not help but believe the previous announcement.

They turned to become curious about the identity and background of that Old Ancestor.

They had heard it clearly from the projection.

Whether it was the Evil Spirit of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Demon Emperor, or those contaminations, they were all wiped out by that Old Ancestor!

An Old Ancestor possessing such great power... what kind of divine being is he!

The thirty-six Immortal Cities have always had the strength to conduct business with one another.

Among them is the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion.

After reporting to their Pavilion Master, those Shopkeepers of the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion stood up at this time and informed everyone of the background and various miraculous experiences of the Xueshen Laozu.

At the same time, they took the opportunity to promote the in-depth cooperation between the Old Ancestor and their Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion.

Many cultivation families and even sects, upon hearing this, immediately made plans to bring gifts that very night to go and have a good chat with the other party.

There were also those who had heard of the Spirit Herbs in the Auction, who self-conceived many guesses, both true and false, and quietly told their friends and family, telling them not to spread it further.

As for what happened afterward, those who heard the secret also quietly told people they trusted, and then it spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred.

The rumor that Xueshen Laozu was actually an Immortal descended to the mortal world, with a True Immortal backing him, unknowingly gained the most recognition and spread the furthest.

Consequently, except for the Immortal Cities near the Jinzi Domain, the other Immortal Cities and even the various forces under the influence of the Immortal Cities all had the thought of sending people to work under that Old Ancestor and to probe the truth.

And Su Ping did not yet know that, unknowingly, he would be able to gain a large number of talents who would come to join him for free, thereby accelerating his various constructions of the Blood God Secret Realm...

"Sigh!"

When the Baiyuan Yaohuang finished its task and flew back to Su Ping's side, it also scanned the land along the way with its Divine Sense.

Looking at the devastated Ten Thousand Mountains, which were almost unrecognizable, even it could not help but feel a sense of sorrow in its heart.

When it returned to the Immortal Boat, the Baiyuan Yaohuang saw that Su Ping had an additional small mountain peak in his hand.

That object, which looked like a miniature bonsai, was in fact a treasure from the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Like the Blood God Seal, it could also be considered a spatial wonder containing a Secret Realm within.

It was just that the Secret Realm inside was not very large, only about a hundred miles in radius.

It had a continuous mountain range and a small plain.

A long time ago, it was a place used by the Ten Thousand Mountains to nurture talented young Demon Beasts.

As for now, it naturally became the spoils of war for the Old Ancestor before it, and he took it out to house those surviving young Demon Beasts.

Su Ping stayed in the Ten Thousand Mountains for a full week.

He used this time to search as much as possible for the Secret Realms and ruins exposed in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

While looking for survivors, he also took the opportunity to see if there were any ownerless items in need of a new master.

As for the original land of the Ten Thousand Mountains, because of the previous Evil Qi pollution and the destruction caused by the Evil Spirit-corrupted Demon Beasts.

Apart from the land itself, it no longer had any value.

A week later, after searching through thousands of Secret Realms and dozens of ruins, Su Ping decided to return.

On the deck, the Baiyuan Yaohuang hesitated for a moment before asking:

"How many Secret Realms are there in the Ten Thousand Mountains? Even we Demon Emperors cannot see the full picture."

"The secrets in the ruins are also countless; there are many places where even we Demon Emperors dare not stay for long."

"Master, are you really not planning to continue exploring?"

"It's too much of a waste of time, and most of these Secret Realms and ruins have been polluted by Evil Qi; there really isn't much of value left."

"Leave some for others; if there are truly good things that I need, I believe those people will be sensible."

Upon hearing these words from Su Ping, Baiyuan Yaohuang trembled slightly before grasping the profound mystery within, and hurriedly nodded.

In the eyes of Baiyuan Yaohuang, this Old Ancestor might be the most likely path to survival for the Cultivators of the Cultivation World in the future.

As long as he offered this retreat as a reward.

Even if the major powers obtained some important item from the ruins of the Ten Thousand Mountains, they would take the initiative to hand it over for this... If it were too precious, it might even trigger countless bloody storms!

Not long after Su Ping left the Ten Thousand Mountains in his Immortal Boat.

After confirming that the Old Ancestor had already taken the first pick and left in satisfaction.

Every power with a Golden Core expert sitting in command could not help but rush into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Then, after entering the region, these powers that entered the Ten Thousand Mountains would all receive a message left behind by an Avatar of Baiyuan Yaohuang.

Xueshen Laozu pities the tragic state of the Demon Beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains and cannot bear to see the diversity of the Demon Beasts suffer such heavy losses.

Anyone who finds surviving young Demon Beasts in these Ten Thousand Mountains may send them to the Old Ancestor's place of cultivation to receive a reward!

In addition, the Old Ancestor is offering a heavy bounty for space-type curios that contain a Secret Realm.

For those who possess such curios, everything is negotiable!

Seeing this message, the Golden Core Cultivators of the various powers silently noted it in their hearts, then began to search every space in detail, attempting to discover an unsearched Secret Realm entrance!

…………

In the Pot Heaven, Baiyuan Yaohuang, having obtained an Invitation Letter, was able to enter.

It arrived directly at the location of the Inheritance Stone Stele.

While sensing the abundant Spirit Qi in this special space.

Baiyuan Yaohuang noticed the Immortal script on the surrounding stone walls, and its expression changed wildly once again.

"These... are all inheritances from the ancient era!"

"Is the Old Ancestor really related to the Immortal World?"

"Is he truly an Immortal who descended from the Immortal World?"

Baiyuan Yaohuang suppressed the excitement in its heart, and cherishing the opportunity before it, it scanned the surrounding stone slabs.

Suddenly, two stone slabs emitted Golden Light.

Meanwhile, in the Fuhua Rumen Temple outside, Su Ping, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing mental cultivation with the illusion of Tiannv Mowan, suddenly twitched his brow.

He had received an honest report from Baiyuan Yaohuang.

This Baiyuan Yaohuang had actually gained the recognition of two inheritance stone slabs.

The first was the Law Heaven Earthly Aspect divine ability.

The second was the Jingang Undying Shenggong.

Baiyuan Yaohuang had heaven-defying comprehension, and it had already achieved Entry into both great inheritances with ease.

Su Ping could not help with the Law Heaven Earthly Aspect divine ability; it relied entirely on Baiyuan Yaohuang's own aptitude and effort.

As for the Jingang Undying Shenggong, external forces could be used to help accelerate it.

Besides Spirit Pills and medicines, especially the help of Purification Potion to clear the side effects produced during cultivation.

Another method to speed up cultivation was to provide external force.

After carefully reviewing the requirements.

Su Ping had already thought of several places suitable for Baiyuan Yaohuang to cultivate.

Aside from the ancient Demon Sealing Tower.

Heading to the deepest seabed of Water Blue Star to endure the ultra-high water pressure, or flying into space to face the Sun directly without the protection of an atmosphere...

These were cultivation environments that could not be created by a Small World like the current Cultivation World.

Yet Su Ping was already capable of doing all of them.

And having thought of it, he acted, beginning the preparations.

At the same time.

The black flood dragon Ao Li, having received Su Ping's consent and obtained the entire share of this False Dragon Blood.

Suddenly opened its eyes, which were emitting Golden Light, within the Spirit Light Fish Pond.

It swooshed out of the Spirit Light Fish Pond.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed from over ten meters into a thousand-meter-long black giant dragon.

Amidst summoning wind and rain.

The black flood dragon Ao Li was just about to break through its Golden Core to produce a Demon Soul Avatar equivalent to a Cultivator's Nascent Soul.

But it got stuck at the critical step.

"Master!"

"What is it?"

"This little dragon is using a dragon clan secret technique to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and needs to receive recognition from the World Will and congratulations from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth..."

"Why can I not sense the World Will of the outside world?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Su Ping replied indifferently:

"This place is my Forbidden Land, isolating all information from the outside world; even the World Will cannot penetrate through."

Hearing this, Ao Li was shocked, yet the thought that it was indeed so arose in its heart.

Even the Blood God Secret Realm could actually be influenced by the World Will of the Cultivation World.

Unless... this place was not in the Cultivation World at all, but was... a world outside the world!

But!

The black flood dragon Ao Li suddenly thought of a problem and, not daring to delay, hurriedly asked in distress:

"My Lord!"

"The Cultivation World is riddled with holes now; the World Will, the Great Dao... I do not know if they can still respond to my call and help me break through to the Nascent Soul realm!"

"If I were to abandon the dragon race's inheritance and restart my cultivation with another technique..."

"It is no matter, just prepare yourself."

Su Ping knew exactly what Ao Li was planning the moment he heard her.

At the same time, Su Ping also wanted to see if his homeland had a World Will.

According to the memories he saw in the Void.

Every world should have a World Will.

It is just that some are quiet, some are lively, and most are dormant, only reacting on instinct.
