Chapter 952 - 300: A Drop of Treasure Blood (Part 5)

The others on the shore didn’t need any orders; the cultivators skilled in water element techniques began using their techniques, siphoning off the river water from this central section.

The grand commotion outside the city naturally drew the attention of Shen Wen’an and several others within.

At Yunshui City’s South City Gate, Shen Wen’an and three others quietly stood on the city walls, watching the scene above the Laishui River where numerous outer world cultivators collaborated, all unable to stifle their sighs.

"These outer world cultivators indeed have a far superior understanding of the Hundred Skills of Cultivation compared to Yangnao Land."

"Various magical artifacts and treasures possess all sorts of bizarre powers, greatly enhancing their own strength, more than just a small degree."

Shen Li remarked.

Beside him, Shen Wenxing and Shen Wen’an both nodded affirmatively.

Compared to these major sects from the outer world, Yangnao Land seems like a group of primitive people living in a remote area, still engaging in slash-and-burn agriculture.

The others have already developed various farming implements and discovered numerous methods to improve and irrigate land.

The difference between the two is evident.

"Xu Zhan, do you think they will really manage to excavate the ancient city at the river bottom?"

Shen Wenxing suddenly spoke with a serious expression.

Xu Zhan scoffed at these words: "Master, rest assured, their efforts will be in vain."

"Though I don’t know what’s inside the ancient city at the bottom of the Laishui River, I’m certain it is linked to the Cangmin Realm of the past, and not something a small world should possess."

"Moreover, with that skeletal elder there, they will undoubtedly gain nothing from their endeavors."

Shen Wenxing nodded, pondered a moment, then continued, "We can’t be careless either."

"Your grandfather mentioned that our destiny lies within the Laishui River; if these people continue their meddling, who knows if it will affect our fate."

Just as Xu Zhan was about to nod, his gaze suddenly tightened.

In the next moment, before they could react, all of Yunshui City and the surrounding terrain abruptly began to quake!

The violent shaking caused terrifying cracks to appear in the land and neighboring soil and rocks within a hundred-mile radius of Yunshui City, followed by the whole piece of land beginning to slowly rise.

Roar!

At the instant the land was lifted, a deep and majestic roar suddenly echoed from the depths, as if some monstrous being was suppressed beneath this area.

On the city wall, Shen Wen’an and the others’ faces were aghast, their bodies rising to hover in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhan quietly surveyed his surroundings, his expression somewhat peculiar.

The alarming commotion in Yunshui City naturally attracted the attention of those outer world cultivators on the opposite bank, causing them to halt their actions, their eyes fixed on the Yunshui City, elevated nearly a hundred feet.

"What’s beneath the city walls?"

"Could some terrifying giant beast be slumbering under that piece of land?"

"Impossible, I don’t sense any fluctuations in the aura!"

"I smell a fragrance mixed with a faint scent of blood; have the fellow Daoists noticed?"

"Rather than speculate here, fellow seniors, why not go have a look?"

Amid the crowd, a young Purple Mansion Realm cultivator with a delicate appearance suddenly spoke politely.

Many Nascent Soul elders on the shore exchanged glances upon hearing his words.

"Haha... This junior speaks wisely; if it’s something valuable, a look will tell!"

"I refuse to believe anything in the Cangmin Realm can threaten my life!"

A figure in a brown robe laughed aloud and flew straight towards Yunshui City.

Above Yunshui City, Qi Buyu squinted his eyes slightly, feeling torn internally.

He knew if he didn’t stop this old man now, those on the riverbank would follow suit.

But if he intervened and got entangled with the old man, others might take advantage and also join in.

Just as he hesitated, another anomaly occurred below in Yunshui City!

Roar!

Another deep and majestic roar emanated from the crack, followed by a dense fragrance mixed with a faint scent of blood spilling from the fissure, causing everyone who smelled it to feel a shiver!

"What is this!?"

"Such fragrance! Inhaling even a trace, I feel my blood boiling and my physical body growing much stronger!"

"Such extraordinary, is this the treasure blood of some exotic beast!?"

"I understand why I didn’t sense any powerful aura!"

"Beneath might be the treasure blood of some Ancient Divine Beast!"

"The terrifying cry just now probably stems from the unyielding will contained within that treasure blood!"

An elderly cultivator with thinning white hair and near-missing teeth said gravely.

"What!?"

"That cry was only the sound of unyielding will in a drop of blood?"

"I almost got scared to death earlier..."

"Same here, when the cry sounded, my Divine Spirit was completely intimidated!"

"Elder Xue, could you have guessed wrong? If a drop of blood possesses such power, how strong must its owner be? Incomplete Great Dao Laws in the Cangmin Sea Region can’t produce such a powerful entity."

A young Purple Mansion cultivator frowned, questioning the Nascent Soul True Monarch’s words.

The elder known as "Elder Xue" showed clear tolerance, not angered by the junior’s doubts, but sighed and said, "It’s impossible for such existence to appear in the Cangmin Sea Region."

"But don’t forget, young ones, our Cangmin Sea Region used to be called Cangmin Realm; it was once a complete world of Great Dao Laws."
