aside from entering or exiting the Danyuan Secret Realm, the disciples were forbidden from setting foot there at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, unlike the lush, cultivated slopes and foothills tended by the disciples, the summit retained a primitive desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi halted and turned to look at Yu Fu and Jia Lu behind her, a glint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: \"You happen to be here at just the right time today; come with me and witness the miracle of 'a spring forming upon landing.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her voice fell, she raised her right hand, where a light quickly ignited in her palm, revealing a warm, translucent emerald bead within which tides seemed to pulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely the Spring Eye Bead retrieved from the bottom of the Dan Spring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Hua Changxi's gaze sharpened slightly; with a gentle flick of her right hand, the Spring Eye Bead transformed into a streak of emerald light and landed precisely in a desolate depression on the eastern side of the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no violent impact; the instant the Spring Eye Bead touched the soil, it dissolved silently, like a drop of water merging into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's divine consciousness had enveloped the entire Danyuan Peak the moment she produced the Spring Eye Bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, within her clear perception, that bead dissolved upon landing, disintegrating into a brilliant green radiance that, like an awakening earth dragon, carried surging vitality through Danyuan Peak and burrowed frantically deep into the earth veins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, a strange gurgling sound rose from underground, resembling rolling spring thunder or the prelude to ten thousand galloping horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, ripples suddenly spread across the previously barren soil where the Spring Eye Bead had landed; a spiritual liquid glowing with faint green fluorescence burst forth from the earth, initially winding like a drifting thread, then instantly surging into a pillar that coalesced into a pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the spiritual spring overflowed the depression and rushed down the steep mountainside; wherever it passed, withered stones grew moss and tangled grasses turned green again, forcibly carving a brand-new green riverbed into the mountain body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's divine sense acted like an invisible giant hand, precisely guiding this rampaging spiritual flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever the spring water was about to crash against jagged rocks, she manipulated her divine consciousness to make it detour skillfully; whenever the flow passed spiritual fields cultivated by disciples, she diverted streams for irrigation, letting the sweet rain soak every inch of soil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her control, the water flowed singing joyously, splashing up myriad pearls and emitting crisp sounds like zithers harmonizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This heavenly melody of flowing water echoed over the entire Danyuan Peak, lingering endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, this newly born spiritual river merged at the mountain foot with a waterfall cascading from the void, flowing together toward Jiujie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly was a spring forming upon landing; the water gushed from the spring eye and raced down to the foothills, all happening in the span of an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene left Yu Fu and Jia Lu, who had watched from start to finish, gaping in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other disciples on the peak, before they could even realize what had happened, the spiritual spring had already coalesced into form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the spiritual spring was established, changes swept across the entire peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steaming water vapor swirled and lingered above the mountain, refracting the skylight to condense into a magnificent seven-colored rainbow bridge spanning the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the spiritual spring passed, spiritual plants and herbs that had previously grown poorly due to thin spiritual energy instantly straightened their stalks, their leaves becoming glossy and vibrant green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain air grew moist and sweet; every breath felt like washing the lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely dense spiritual energy enveloped the entire Danyuan Peak, even diffusing outward so that neighboring peaks felt a burst of moist, clear breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples on Danyuan Peak looked at the river that had appeared out of thin air, both bewildered and awestruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such dense spiritual energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could this be the spiritual spring recorded in some books?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the heart-penetrating coolness and abundant spiritual power in the air, the disciples on Danyuan Peak instantly erupted into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unusual phenomenon on Danyuan Peak was too massive; the rainbow above the summit and the ripples of spiritual energy so dense they seemed tangible could not be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very quickly, the attention of the entire Sacred Land was drawn over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several powerful auras soared into the sky from the Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, Jiujie, and other locations, their eyes filled with shock as they gazed upon the spiritual spring on Danyuan Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Changxi truly obtained the Spiritual Spring Bead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Shouren displayed astonishment on his face, yet in his heart, he felt little surprise. Since Hua Changxi had repeatedly catalyzed the revival of the Dan Saint Hall, he could now calmly accept even greater disturbances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dan Saint Hall had grown quiet after the departure of the various Secret Realm Masters, but now, due to the spiritual spring appearing out of thin air on Danyuan Peak, it became lively once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples discussed fervently, their gazes toward Danyuan Peak filled with longing and aspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look quickly, Peak Master Hua has gone to Danding Peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surely Peak Master Hua isn't going to create another spiritual spring on Danding Peak as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples of the entire Sacred Land boiled over, surging toward Danding Peak; even if they could not enter the peak, it would be good enough to witness the miracle of a spring appearing from nowhere just outside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the disciples of Danyuan Peak actively joined the spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no help for it; the appearance of the spiritual spring on Danyuan Peak had been so abrupt that they hadn't even reacted before it had already coalesced into form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the miracle of 'a spring forming upon landing' that had occurred on Danyuan Peak was reenacted on Danding Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of the Sacred Land witnessed the entire process, feeling both awestruck and deeply satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Hua Changxi, who had created these miracles, her image in the hearts of the disciples grew several times taller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Lingjing Pavilion, Xia Zhen, who remained on duty, sighed powerlessly; he had noticed that many disciples of the Sacred Land now looked at Hua Changxi with a hint of submission in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at Danyuan Peak and Danding Peak, which under the nourishment of the spiritual springs radiated unprecedented vitality, lush and dripping with green amidst rising clouds and rosy mist, Hua Changxi felt an indescribable sense of fulfillment and joy surge within her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of the auction to be held at Jiuguan, she instructed Yu Fu and Jia Lu to guard the two peaks well, then departed via the teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she teleported back to Lingguang Hall, Hua Changxi's previously relaxed brows instantly knitted tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That feeling of panic... had returned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since seizing the Wutong Forest, a faint trace of unease had quietly entwined around her heart like a disease clinging to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made her most suspicious and unsettled was that this inexplicable panic and unease seemed to exist only when she was within Nanxiang County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, while at the Dan Saint Hall, that uneasy feeling had vanished inexplicably, leading her to once believe it was an illusion; yet now, the moment she set foot in Lingguang Hall, the panic swept over her entire body again, even stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi concentrated and looked inward, her gaze falling upon her Nascent Soul, where the black flame remained, dark and unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the black flame causing this unease?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi pondered silently, then immediately dismissed this conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black flames were linked to desire; though she could not yet achieve a heart still as water, she certainly harbored no surging desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it does not stem from the black flames, then where exactly does this unease originate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi strode out of the main hall, soared into the air, transformed into a crimson shadow, and swiftly darted across the skies above Nanxiang County, her divine sense sweeping over every inch of the land below like a radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down upon the seemingly tranquil Nanxiang County, her gaze profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The unease arises only when within Nanxiang County; could this be some form of warning? Is it hinting that some calamity is about to befall Nanxiang County?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1475,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","1c1ef1e8f1a233d576a956918056a429415894851070092e75f967c25390b42f","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-489","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-487",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
