Chapter 55 Xiong Zhou causes trouble, and Su takes the blame.
"Is this an untouched, unspoiled natural paradise?"
"This feeling of being both sturdy and fragile is strange. Let me take another look."
Xiong Zhou stood on the icy river, his eyes darting around as he looked at the void rifts that appeared from time to time.
Just now, he passed through a void rift on the hilltop that flashed with five-colored lightning, and stepped across the void into this secret realm of heaven and earth with a single step, all very smoothly.
But in the next instant, something unexpected happened.
Here, one can only invoke the most basic principles of the Five Elements. If one invokes even a tiny bit more, the surrounding space seems to be on the verge of collapsing.
It can accommodate his very existence, yet cannot bear his abundant legal principles; the contradiction is inexplicable.
"I merely subconsciously activated a tiny bit of the abundant magical principles within my body, and the surrounding space actually cracked open with void fissures... It's unbelievable..."
'
"The structure of the entire space is practically like a sandcastle built of gravel," meaning that any seawater would be shattered by its impact, making it completely incomparable to the Azure Sky Realm, an outer realm that can exist for a long time in the Void Sea.
"What's even more amazing is that the Five Elements are exceptionally abundant within this secret realm, at least a hundred times more abundant than the small hills outside, and at least a thousand times more abundant than some areas of the Azure Sky Realm. With a mere thought, one can stir up a vast expanse of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and the power generated by a casual strike might reach ten times that of the outside world."
Such a mysterious spatial structure and such a rich concentration of the five elements truly amazed Xiong Zhou and broadened his horizons.
These are contents that are not mentioned in the standard teaching materials of the Tai Li Immortal Sect. They may only be recorded in the biographies or secrets of some powerful individuals who like to explore the Void Sea.
Or perhaps this peculiar secret realm environment is unique to the world of the Mountain and Sea Realm, which is a relatively new place.
Xiong Zhou seemed to be deep in thought as he took in all the void rifts that had been torn apart by the abundant laws and were now slowly healing.
Then, compare the manifested Five Elements principles with what you are currently learning and practicing, and sort out the differences.
About five days later, five strands of abundant Dharma principles, forming their own cycles, rose from Xiong Zhou's inner world, preventing the current secret realm from tearing apart again.
Progress bar stacking progress, +5.
This progress isn't from Shan Hai Ruo Mu's AFK progress tracking; it's entirely Xiong Zhou's own work, which is truly commendable.
"By the way, where is that enlightenment-related resource that suits my needs?"
"After coming in, why did I feel even the slightest bit of excitement, and not even the slightest sense of urgency?"
"Has it not been born yet, or has it already been taken away by some unknown being?"
Just as Xiong Zhou was puzzled, a five-colored torrent rose into the sky from the very center of the secret realm, sweeping up the five elements that the secret realm was rich in, and reflecting the billions of spatial fragments within the secret realm that emitted a translucent silver light.
He suddenly realized, "So this secret realm was formed by the aggregation of billions of shattered fragments of space through various opportunities and creations."
Xiong Zhou clicked his tongue in amazement, "No wonder the space of this secret realm is so special, appearing both solid and fragile."
He then mentally scoffed, "Who would have thought this really is a sandcastle 'built from gravel,' and these gravel 'are' fragments of space, while the 'waves' are tidal phenomena from the Void Sea."
"This strange combination, so-called sturdiness, is only because it is within the protection range of the Mountain and Sea Realm; it would be a lie if it weren't brittle."
Suddenly, one fierce roar after another erupted from the center of the secret realm, mixed with the most common Five Elements principles at the subtle level.
The wind and clouds changed color, and the five-colored clouds swirling in the sky were scattered by the roar.
The orderly flowing, icy river stirred up huge waves, and the bone-chilling water droplets pounded against the banks, shattering one after another the thriving, crimson maple trees.
The rolling hills cracked open, and the thick, fertile soil and metallic minerals buried deep in the earth were all turned up.
One terrifying crack after another, along the wolf claw-like marks on the ground, covered the entire secret realm, making this "sand castle" built of "gravel" look like it was saying, "I'll show you right now."
The tremors did not stop, but instead intensified. An unbelievably thick and bloody stench exploded from the center of this secret realm, and dark blood-red mist seeped into the depths of the earth, defiling the pure veins of the earth.
The soaring, multicolored torrent underwent a change; the pure and flawless spirituality of the five elements was tinged with a darkening, as if a thick layer of gray light was spreading out, carrying a hint of calamity.
Suddenly, a small ape, whose life essence was close to the fourth level of Qi Refining, with dark golden fur on its body, and seemingly having just undergone a metamorphosis, leaped up and reached out to grab the five elements spiritual energy that was emitting a gray light.
"How dare you!"
"This is what the Wolf King has his eye on, put it down!"
"Those who attempt to seize the Wolf King's possessions, even if they undergo their fourth transformation within the secret realm, will perish once they return to the outside world and the Yin Fire subsides!"
"Kneel down immediately, and let us brand you with the mark of slavery, making us the war slaves of Moon Wolf Mountain. Only then will we have a sliver of hope!"
A series of wolf howls rose up, carrying terrifying sound waves and brutality, shaking the entire secret realm.
The little golden ape smirked.
Giving up the opportunities and good fortune at hand, kneeling down, having their consciousness etched into the slave mark in exchange for a chance to live?
He could fool other senile beings who haven't undergone a transformation, but if he actually did that, he would be courting death, with no chance of survival whatsoever.
What was gained from offering up opportunities and good fortune in exchange for Moon Wolf Mountain was not a chance to survive, but a fatal blow from the wolf's claws.
After death, he will surely be devoured by a pack of wolves, who will consume his essence, blood, flesh, and bones, leaving not a trace.
Winner takes all!
This has always been the way things are on this land.
At present, only by possessing enough power to survive the Yin Fire and still inspire fear in all beasts can one have a glimmer of hope.
To increase one's strength in a short period of time, one needs to seek opportunities and good fortune.
The five elements' spiritual energy, glowing with a gray light, seemed to sense the dark gold ape's thirst for power, its yearning for life, and its anticipation of the outside world.
It changed on that furry hand, bursting forth with a profound mystery involving the void, evolving into a true meaning of creation, in harmony with the ever-evolving and constantly evolving forces of heaven and earth, which are constantly developing and generating different laws.
The secret realm, originally built from billions of spatial fragments, resonated with the surroundings and underwent a terrifying transformation.
This secret realm began to collapse, remaining as a whole, all plummeting towards the surface of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"What did you do?!"
"You want to take us all down with you?!"
A ferocious beast, whose essence was similar to the fourth level of Qi Refining, roared, and, fearing the consequences, loudly questioned.
The dark gold ape remained silent, its eyes growing ever brighter.
"boom!"
One spell after another bombarded the pixelated moon screen, tearing the moonlit blocks into cracks.
However, in the next instant, at the moment the spell ended, these shattered patterns vanished completely, as if the broken marks had never appeared at all.
A dozen or so beasts that had never entered the secret realm had dark faces. They looked at the same moonlit sky as always, and began to grind their teeth.
"Damn you, Wolf King! What kind of weird effects did you add to the moonlit canopy?"
"They said you need permission to enter this secret realm. What was that big dog from a few days ago?"
"There must be a reason why Moon Wolf Mountain cannot leave this area of hundreds of millions of miles."
After the wolf king intervened with his claws, those flesh and blood medicines that were originally meant to be consumed after the secret realm dissipated, to enhance their foundation and nourish their bloodline, have now all turned into phantom images—visible but unattainable.
This is no different from a cooked duck flying away.
This stark contrast drove them absolutely crazy.
One after another, blood-soaked beasts manipulated the laws of heaven and earth, circulating their own primordial energy as they frantically attacked the moonlit curtain, spewing out whatever insults and vulgarities they could find.
The result remained unchanged; the pixelated moon covering the hill remained unbroken.
Outside the small hill, a dozen or so beasts were cursing angrily. On Moon Wolf Mountain, the wolf king and the two giant wolves beside him also had extremely ugly expressions.
They tried to manipulate the power of the divine realm to erase the altered moonlit curtain, but all their efforts were in vain.
Moreover, when they used their moonlight to attack the reconstructed moon screen, the power extending from their divine realm was actually absorbed by these moon screens surrounding the hills, becoming part of them and making their size, mass, and strength increasingly terrifying.
"Splash..."
'
Once again, when the laws of Moon Wolf Mountain permeated the reconstructed lunar canopy, they were instantly pixelated, emitting a sound like flowing water, becoming part of the lunar canopy's cubes, incorporating their volume, mass, and...
Strength, adding bricks and tiles.
"No, the assimilation ability of that unknown law is too strong, and we are completely unable to analyze this strange power of heaven and earth."
The giant wolf, its body entirely black and round, sighed softly and shook its head dejectedly.
"What exactly is that creature, which looks like a dog?"
"When did this unknown being appear in this vast land?"
"We do not know when he arrived, nor do we know how he dismantled and rebuilt the Moon Curtain of Moon Wolf Mountain."
The slender, moon-white giant wolf had droopy eyelids and muttered to itself.
What he finds most annoying and detestable is this kind of situation where he knows nothing, and can't even figure out the intervention point for solving the problem, so how can he come up with a solution?
Wolf King remained silent. The lack of such information, coupled with the unexpected situation that followed, reminded him of a certain nine-tailed white fox.
"Qingqiu totem, You Su, is that you?"
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Qingqiu Mountains, his eyes filled with a fierce light.
Tens of thousands of years ago, he weighed the newly succeeded Qingqiu totem.
The ensuing counterattack was a series of troubles and unexpected events with no end in sight, leaving Moon Wolf Mountain in ruins, with most of the giant wolves in the mortal realm killed or wounded, shaking the foundations of the divine realm and faith.
Now, when Wolf King encounters this unexpected turn of events, his first thought is of the Qingqiu totem. He highly suspects that the canine creature with unknown background who easily broke and reassembled the moon curtain is the one who plotted against Moon Wolf Mountain.
Suddenly, thousands of miles away, the Wolf King saw a nine-tailed white fox on the highest peak of the Qingqiu Mountains, with a bright smile on its face, looking back at him.
"There's Su!"
"Is it really you?!"
The wolf king's gray fur bristled, a low growl escaped his throat, and his tranquil wolf eyes were filled with a crimson hue.
The highest peak of the Qingqiu Mountains, the summit.
Su sensed a probing gaze directed at him. He instantly retracted his Azure Sky Authority, revealing a smile as he met the gaze of its owner.
"Boom!"
Like bolts of terrifying lightning flashing by, the vast powers of heaven and earth clashed with their respective strengths.
In an instant, the Qingqiu Mountains were plunged into darkness, and a phantom moon slowly rose higher.
The next instant, it transformed into a clear, bright day, with a misty, high sky hanging above all living beings.
Amidst the interplay of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, a deafening roar shook the very soul. The fox of Qingqiu looked up and could vaguely see a nine-tailed white fox and a moon-reflecting gray wolf locked in a fierce battle, disrupting the laws of heaven and earth.
Three breaths later, everything returned to normal, and the vast, strange phenomena that had filled the sky all fell silent.
"You, Su, are much stronger than you were tens of thousands of years ago."
With a bloody coldness, it echoed across the Qingqiu Mountains.
Su Qing laughed and said, "How could I not improve?"
"I am the most outstanding totem of Qingqiu throughout history. Whether in terms of strength or talent, I am number one."
The cold, blood-stained voice ceased to ring out, and the Moon-Reflecting Authority that had lingered over Qingqiu vanished without a trace.
As the wolf king retreated, You Su's expression became subtle.
Su knew perfectly well why this ruler, whose domain spanned hundreds of millions of miles, had come to find him, since this heavenly secret information was neither concealed nor encrypted.
However, what happened to Junior Brother Xiong Zhou was not actually him plotting against the Wolf Lord of Moon Wolf Mountain; he was wronged.
As a true disciple of Tai Li and a second-generation immortal, that junior brother possessed a multitude of things that could shield him from heavenly secrets, making it virtually impossible to uncover his true information.
Furthermore, he had already prepared for his advancement to the fifth level of Qi Refining and the fifth level of Spirit Refining. He would just need to slow down and prepare to break through to the next level and overcome the calamity that directly blew into his consciousness. He really didn't have the time to scheme and plot.
"Tsk, a mythical beast that can bring abundance, cunning..."
'
"This is no auspicious beast; it's clearly a creature in human form. It goes into that thorny corner, and that's where the problem arises."
Su shook his head and complained.
"Now, I'm the one taking the blame for Junior Brother Xiong Zhou."
You Su looked at the tribulation materials in front of him that had turned into a pile of ashes and sighed softly.
"Never mind, preparing one more set won't take much more time."
"Once the Dao of Azure Sky truly reaches the level of practice, preparing materials for the fifth level of calamity relief is much easier than simply using the Azure Sky authority blessed by the divine realm."
