Chapter 639

Not long after.

Jiang Daoxuan smoothly returned to Cangwu Mountain.

He swept past the Shanmen and entered the interior.

Yuwen Feng gazed at the scene below, sensing the aura radiating from each clansman, and could not help but be greatly astonished!

Compared with the intelligence gathered two months ago.

The average cultivation base of the clansmen within the Cangwu Jiang Clan had now been raised to an utterly terrifying level!

In terms of sheer number of cultivators, it was still temporarily incomparable to those Myriad Manifestation-level factions.

But one had to consider how long the Cangwu Jiang Clan had risen from the small town of Wudan City!

This growth speed, fast to the point of being inconceivable, was what shocked him the most!

Just how were these people cultivating?

And how had Clan Leader Jiang accomplished it?

Beyond his profound shock, Yuwen Feng could not help but feel immense bewilderment!

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan's figure paused slightly as he flew down toward the Spirit Beast Hall below.

Seeing this, Yuwen Feng could no longer spare a thought for the doubts in his heart and hurriedly followed.

When Jiang Daoxuan landed at the entrance of the Spirit Beast Hall.

An invisible force spread outward, slowly pushing open the heavy hall doors with a grating sound.

Hu Li and Yang Li, hearing the commotion, instinctively turned their heads and looked toward the hall entrance.

Seeing that it was their master who had arrived, they were startled in their hearts, dared not be careless in the slightest, and hurriedly paid their respects:

"Hu Li, greets Master!"

"Yang Li, greets Master!"

While paying their respects, they felt puzzled.

On ordinary days, Master was always in closed-door cultivation and had never once come to the Spirit Beast Hall; even those little white cranes were sent over by servants.

If he wished to see them, it was always done through a formal summons — so why would he choose to come in person?

Could it be that there was some extremely important matter he needed to convey face to face?

Thinking of this, the two beasts' hearts grew even more uneasy.

At the same time, the extremely lively little white cranes all around, upon seeing Jiang Daoxuan, were instantly cowed by the dense majesty and the rhythm of Heaven and Dao radiating from his body; their bodies stiffened in unison, standing frozen on the spot, not daring to move even a fraction!

At this moment, under the gaze of the two beasts.

Jiang Daoxuan raised his hand and waved, tearing open the void, and took Lu Li out from within Bai Yu!

In an instant, a massive figure appeared out of thin air within the hall.

It slammed onto the floor tiles, producing an exceptionally heavy, muffled thud!

Seeing this, the surrounding little white cranes were instantly startled, all retreating in unison, pressing themselves against the wall, utterly daring not to approach!

As for Hu Li and Yang Li, they were no better off.

They were both thoroughly frightened!

This monster looked so strange, and the aura faintly emanating from its body was exceptionally powerful.

This had probably reached the Myriad Manifestation level, hadn't it?

Just as the two beasts were marveling, Hu Li suddenly detected something slightly off about the other party.

He furrowed his brow, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Not entirely certain, he immediately looked at Yang Li beside him and said in a low voice:

"Third Brother, do you feel it? Something's off about this big fellow. I keep feeling a sense of familiarity........"

Hearing this, Yang Li's heart suddenly cleared, and he immediately understood that his big brother felt the same as he did: "Big Brother, I feel it too."

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Li's body once more, a hint of thought in his eyes: "Big Brother, does he look like... Second Brother?"

At these words, Hu Li was stunned.

Immediately after, his mind was utterly shaken, his pupils contracting sharply, and he finally realized where this inexplicable sense of familiarity had come from!

He turned his head to look at Lu Li.

He could not help but size him up a few more times.

Gazing at the other's body.

He truly felt an ever-growing, boundless sense of familiarity!

However, he still could not quite bring himself to believe it in his heart.

"That's not right! Back then, Second Brother was only at the third layer of the Sun Wheel realm, a whole layer lower than me!"

"And it's only been how long since then? Even if he had the greatest luck in the world, at most he'd have gained two or three more layers — that itself would be a blessing from the heavens — so how could he possibly have reached Myriad Manifestation?"

Hearing this, Yang Li also felt something was rather odd: "That's true, but still... I feel something's off......"

The two beasts truly could not understand, and could only look at their master in unison, waiting for him to resolve their confusion.

Seeing this, Jiang Daoxuan said offhandedly: "That's right, it is Lu Li."

At these words.

Both beasts felt as if struck by a heavy hammer, falling into utter disbelief!

What?

This thing is Second Brother?

Hu Li could not help but cry out in shock: "How could this be possible?! Why did Second Brother suddenly become Myriad Manifestation? And how did he end up in such a state?"

He had too many doubts in his heart.

As a Sun Wheel realm spirit beast, his experience was naturally not too poor.

One could fully see that Luli's current condition was extremely dire!

Yangli was no different.

The three beasts shared deep brotherly bonds—how could they bear to watch each other suffer?

It hurriedly looked toward Jiang Daoxuan and pleaded, "Please tell me, Master, what exactly happened to my second brother?"

Hearing this, Jiang Daoxuan said nothing more.

At a thought, he drove his Taiyin spiritual sense into the minds of the two beasts, where it transformed into a scene—precisely the moment when Heishan Old Ancestor had described experiencing Luli's situation not long ago!

Listening to Heishan Old Ancestor's account.

The two beasts' hearts first burned with anger, then with fear, then with joy, and now with worry.

They had never imagined that Luli had actually gone through so many things out there.

And encountered such an enormous fortuitous opportunity!

Not only had a certain saint consumed his own essence to forcibly raise his realm from the third layer of Sun Wheel realm to the third layer of Ten Thousand Phenomena realm,

but at the moment of peril, he had also been encountered by his own master, rescued, and brought back to Cangwu Mountain to recuperate!

It was just that his true spirit had fallen into silence, and no one knew when he would wake and meet with them again.

At this moment, Jiang Daoxuan looked at the two silent beasts and instructed:

"For now, you two shall be responsible for looking after it. You may tell it of past experiences often, and see whether you can awaken it ahead of time."
