Chapter 465

Liang Qu dropped the anchor and rubbed his hands in excitement.

All the running around had been worth it after all.

Look at this.

He had snatched the best spot for himself!

Right in front of the tip of the cake.

The old toad, half-exposed above the water and half-hidden below, stared wide-eyed at Liang Qu.

Liang Qu cupped his hands in greeting.

The old toad's frog face was sullen, its webbed feet supporting its chin.

Seeing Liang Qu reminded it of the old turtle, and thinking of the old turtle made it angry.

It had thought that when it came to treasure hunting, it was invincible across the Great Marsh, never imagining there could be such a turtle in the world!

It had cost the frog race five hundred acres of pond expansion!

Penny-wise and pound-foolish!

Abominable!

It really wanted to drive him away!

Next time, it would charge double the rent!

No!

Ten times!

Overcome with emotion, the old toad angrily pounded the water surface, splashing a large spray, and the frog commander behind it hurried forward.

"Elder Toad, what are your orders?"

The old toad stared at the frog commander for a long while, then sighed.

The frog commander scratched his head.

On the right side.

Long Binglin and Long Eying stood side by side, with Long Yanrui behind them; none of the three occupied the tip.

At first glance, it seemed they couldn't decide on an order, so they had to leave a small space in front empty.

In reality, Liang Qu could feel that the Dragon-man race had voluntarily given up the tip.

Splash!

The deep blue old ice rose out of the water, undulating like an iceberg, and the cold air it emitted dispelled the summer heat.

The center of the old ice had been artificially hollowed out to serve as a container.

Scattered outside the floating iceberg were numerous pieces of floating ice.

Liang Qu had heard Xu Yuelong say on the boat that to collect Qi, one didn't need a million jin of old ice at all.

Bringing a few tens of thousands of jin and running back and forth around the phenomenon a few times was enough to guide and condense it.

The excess was mostly for safety.

Since the phenomenon would only appear for a short time, having multiple containers was like casting a wide net—it provided insurance, and in the end, one just needed to consolidate them all together.

This showed how much the Dragon-men valued this wisp of long Qi; they dared not risk the slightest accident.

The river was wide and the clouds were low.

Humans and demons gathered; water birds hovered but dared not land, startled by the momentum and afraid to get close.

The blue light in the center of the valley stopped flickering.

After midnight today, every time the blue water ripples appeared, it took several breaths for them to dissipate.

During this period, other ripples had already appeared to take their place.

Waiting until the hour of the Dragon (7-9 AM).

The flickering blue water ripples became so numerous that they flowed and overflowed from between the valleys.

The air above the water surface was also affected, with light mist rising straight up; looking up, it was like the Northern Aurora!

And unlike the green ribbons of the Northern Aurora, the shimmering blue water ripples were denser and brighter; it was as if two Great Marshes coexisted in the sky and on earth, which was extremely beautiful.

If Liang Qu hadn't heard from the old toad that this phenomenon was one of either the Xiandao Above the Clouds or the Sea Moon Tide, he would have truly thought the phenomenon had already appeared.

"In the daytime, it should be the Xiandao Above the Clouds, right?"

Liang Qu looked back at Xu Yuelong.

Xu Yuelong shook his head: "I'm not sure. I haven't encountered many phenomena. However, a phenomenon is a phenomenon, and it shouldn't have much to do with day or night. Besides, it's not like you can't see the moon during the day."

"That's true."

Liang Qu turned his head, and suddenly a touch of blue light shone down, flowing over everyone's bodies, reflecting everyone's faces in blue, as if they were wandering in some fluorescent, clear river.

Just as they were feeling the novelty.

Without any warning, a pale blue flame ignited in the sky, constantly jumping and changing, and in the blink of an eye, it erupted into an intense light that was almost white!

Whoosh!

A breeze blew by.

The blue light between heaven and earth surged suddenly!

The rich spiritual energy was like completely saturated water vapor, no longer able to remain invisible, condensing into white mist and even water droplets visible to the naked eye!

Liang Qu's breathing stalled; he felt the pain of a fish on land or a person drowning.

The spiritual energy all around was so abundant that it completely overflowed, pouring from his mouth and throat deep into his lungs!

He opened his eyes wide.

Light like golden threads shot out from between the clouds, the wind came suddenly, and the flowing clouds scattered and changed.

"Really had an unexpected harvest."

"Tell people to keep an eye on them usually, don't let people unhook them without knowing."

The misty blue light transformed into an illusory ladder to heaven, and a misty immortal island suspended above the high sky and sea of clouds appeared in the world!

The river wind rolled, the giant mountains sank, and the cloud waves surged and boiled, racing across the vast sky.

The Xiandao Above the Clouds!

The Galloping Horse martial artists and the soldiers left behind in the distance erupted in shocking exclamations.

At the same time, all the martial artists simultaneously triggered their True Steel, and various colors bloomed, not at all inferior to the blue waves rippling in the sky!

Golden light ignited in Liang Qu's pupils, and he exerted all his strength to drive his True Steel. The spiritual energy overflowing in his lungs finally found a place to go, surging and gathering without a moment's pause.

Clouds rolled on the immortal island, flowing down like cold mist.

The first to receive the scouring and baptism was naturally Liang Qu, who was closest, and then it dissipated and spread outward, raining dew on everyone equally.

Green Dragon, Bai Yuan.

The two True Steels were like balloons being blown up, expanding rapidly.

One zhang six, one zhang seven, one zhang eight...

Liang Qu's pupils shrank violently.

So fast?

He had trained painstakingly with his master and endured the malicious torture of the flood dragon underwater, yet in over half a month, he had only grown a few feet.

Even with the reason that his True Steel had just formed and progress was more obvious.

At this moment, just by watching a phenomenon, he could surge forward at a speed of one foot per breath!

Looking around.

Without exception, everyone's True Steel was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Even Wei Lin's hundred-plus-meter Red Demon Roc was no exception, but because its own foundation was too large, the change was not so obvious.

Further back, the effect within the Wolf Smoke range was almost half as much!

Liang Qu could grow one foot per breath, while they could barely manage half a foot, and those further back couldn't even manage that!

Green and white light intertwined, and the improvement of the True Steel further fed back into the physical body.

True Steel Body Refinement!

Liang Qu collected his mind, wholeheartedly accepting the scouring of spiritual energy, guiding them all into his True Steel, and experiencing the pleasure of rapid strength growth.

Awesome!!!

Fortunately, the Dragon-men left an extra tip for him; otherwise, it might not have been enough for two True Steels to absorb!

The Green Dragon True Steel swirled continuously, exceeding two zhang within ten breaths, and the growth momentum showed no signs of slowing down!

The improvement of the physical body stimulated more Qi and blood, which, through the scouring of the Chong meridian, gradually filled into the Heart and Hand meridians.

An unparalleled positive cycle circulated rapidly.

Taiqing Dragon Steel, two zhang one, two zhang two, two zhang three...

The Bai Yuan was not to be outdone, one zhang six, one zhang seven...

The green-scaled azure dragon over seven meters long and the white-haired giant ape approaching seven meters long could completely be called two terrifying giant beasts!

Clouds and mist swirled, hanging down and scouring.

In the center of the old ice scattered in all directions, a stream of hazy Qi circulated, and one could faintly glimpse a trace of blue flocculent matter.

In the sky, the image of the immortal island became increasingly concrete, with pavilions and towers appearing.

Liang Qu looked at the immortal island, and a sense of familiarity suddenly arose in his heart.

This Xiandao Above the Clouds...

Why was it somewhat similar to the pavilions and towers that flashed in the white mist when the Mirage Insect sprayed mist?

Liang Qu didn't know if it was a memory illusion caused by the two having the same color.

Not long after his thought was born.

A touch of faint white light emerged from the center of the Green Dragon, and streams of cold mist gathered and swirled. The spiritual energy flowing down from the immortal island seemed to crash into a vortex, and the absorption rate increased further!

Xu Yuelong, Wei Lin... the few great martial artists closest to him opened their eyes one after another.

On the right hand side, Long Binglin and Long Eying cast their gazes over one after another.

"This is... an Image?"

"At such a young age, how could he generate an Image?"

"Is his talent truly this terrifying?"

Yang Dongxiong behind him looked surprised.

True Steel Image manifestation required enlightenment; it was usually easier for people who were older and had more experience to generate one.

It was the same as sudden enlightenment.

After one sudden enlightenment, there was often a window period in the short term, making it difficult to have another one.

He had just soared on the wind not long ago.

Another one in a few days?

Liang Qu was equally puzzled; he could feel that his Image didn't seem to be produced by sudden enlightenment, but more like a seed had been buried long ago, and after being irrigated by the spiritual energy of the phenomenon, it had grown naturally...

The long-silent Ze Ding trembled.

【Obtained a wisp of Heavenly Water Morning Dew Qi; if fused with ten thousand water-marsh essences, it can produce a spirit fish with mysterious effects.】

Besides the scarlet long Qi and the gray-green long Qi, an extra treasure-blue long Qi shone brightly!
