…
After leaving the dark whirlpool, Zhu Minglang, Nan Lingsha, and Ming Ji appeared in a dark whirlpool that was close to West Earth.
They walked along the east, and when they reached the Qi Gorge, they started to wonder if they had taken the wrong path.
Even though the Qi Gorge in the past was considered steep and undulating, it wasn't as magnificent and strange as it was now.
The continuous mountains and gorge were disorderly and exaggerated, as though they were two completely different worlds. They were either towering into the clouds or bottomless!
The Heaven Sha Dragons flew above the Qi Gorge, and from time to time, they could hear strange low growls coming from the depths of the mountain gorge. They were filled with extreme hostility. As long as existences like the Heaven Sha Dragons dared to get close to their territory, they would be torn to pieces!
Zhu Minglang also sensed an extremely terrifying aura. It wasn't just the creatures of the night, it was more like the creatures that had originally resided in the Qi Gorge had become ferocious and powerful in a single night!
The entire Qi Gorge gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. It was no less dangerous than some of the ferocious mountains and rivers that Zhu Minglang had crossed in Tianshu Shenjiang Four Desolates Territory back then!
After passing the Qi Gorge, they arrived at the vast plains of Li River. In the boundless wilderness, they could see tall and strong figures wandering around from time to time.
Not long later, Zhu Minglang saw the river vein of Li River. The river of Li River had suddenly widened by ten times. Even the narrowest part of it was equivalent to a huge canal.
Zhu Minglang subconsciously looked toward the northernmost side of the plains. Through the night mist, he could faintly see an indistinct and distant outline. However, for some reason, this outline had climbed to the horizon and was pointing toward the blue dome of heaven!
That was North Extremity Ridge …
However, it was already standing between heaven and earth like the impregnable pass of Heaven Gate!
After leaving for less than half a night, the entire Li River had changed. There were many times when Zhu Minglang suspected that the dark whirlpool he had passed through had brought him to a foreign land. This was because everything here looked like a foreign land, giving off a barbaric and primitive feeling. It was like a magnificent and crude scene from millions of years ago.
They returned to Ancestral Dragon City.
Ancestral Dragon City was brightly lit. Under the mysterious and dreary night sky, the city appeared solemn and noble. If one looked closely, they would discover that the greyish-white city walls were glowing with a gentle light like jade. It blended with the lights of the city and was completely isolated from the darkness.
Zhu Minglang didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he did feel the tranquility and uniqueness of Zulong City. It was as if the gods were really protecting it.
In fact, they had passed by several cities that night. The residents of those cities were miserable. They had never seen the creatures in the dark before, and they had no idea how to resist them. They had no idea how long they could survive in a city without any protection.
The Ancestral Dragon City's rare tranquility did not seem to be much different from usual, but it was extremely precious in this world that had undergone great changes.
…
After returning to his residence, Zhu Minglang heard Fang Niannian's Stove Dragon snoring in the courtyard.
Zhu Minglang was about to rest when he heard footsteps outside the door.
"It's so late. Why aren't you sleeping?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Only he and Fang Niannian, the general manager of Dragon Rations, lived in this house. Naturally, only Fang Niannian came.
"I've heard a lot of news. God's Kingdom, God's Army, God's Clan, they're pouring in from different places. They'll kill us like animals …" Fang Niannian's voice sounded a bit worried and scared.
Zhu Minglang had already taken off his boots. He had no choice but to put them back on.
After opening the door, he saw a young girl wearing a large cotton-padded coat. This reminded Zhu Minglang of the dream he had in Sparrow Wolf City. Fang Niannian had helped him a lot by finding the Midnight Dream Demon, even though it was just a dream.
"Do you still remember the wish I made?" Zhu Minglang glanced at Fang Niannian. He felt that she must have just had a nightmare. She looked uneasy and scared.
In fact, many people in the Ancestral Dragon City were like this. They did not know their own fate. They were like small leaves that fell into the water. They could only drift with the current.
"Peace and prosperity?" Fang Niannian subconsciously said Zhu Minglang's wish.
There was too much uneasiness and fear. Not only the Ancestral Dragon City, but the entire Extreme Court was in this state.
Fang Niannian was different from most cultivators. She was closer to ordinary people. She felt like the sky was about to collapse. She did not have a trace of security.
"In fact, I'm not making a wish to anyone. I'm just telling myself that there is a very peaceful city here with a group of interesting people. I hope they are all safe. Compared to those unreliable wishes that I don't know which god received the lantern, I believe in myself more. After all, as long as it's what I wish for, I will do my best to achieve it, "Zhu Minglang said.
In Zhu Minglang's philosophy, making a wish was not to just spread out one's hands and lean back to wait for the wish to come true. Instead, it was to step towards the wish without any regard for anything else.
Even though Zhu Minglang's wish at that time was not "peace and prosperity", but he already had this expectation in his heart.
Fang Niannian had just woken up from a nightmare. Her mind was a bit chaotic. She was stunned by Zhu Minglang's words.
"Between me and the unknown god, who do you think is more reliable?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"I don't know. Is the god really that powerful?" Fang Niannian said.
"In short, you just have to take good care of everyone's food. With me and your sisters here, the Ancestral Dragon City will only become more and more prosperous. You will have your favorite lantern festival every year," Zhu Minglang said.
"Mm, mm."
"After tonight, Li Chuan will undergo tremendous changes. You should pay more attention to the spiritual items in the hands of the spiritual farmers. You might find some treasure," Zhu Minglang said.
"Don't worry about it. As long as the sky doesn't fall, I can guarantee that we'll be able to purchase good stuff. By the way, I bought a piece of this from an old mountain man a few days ago. It feels very similar to the snacks that Little White usually eats." Fang Niannian took it out from his big cotton-padded jacket.
"Moon Glazed Stone!" Zhu Minglang's eyes widened.
Wasn't this the tribute that Mi Zhongyun and the others had worked so hard to collect?
Fang Niannian actually bought it from someone else!
"The old man sold it at a high price. I clenched my teeth and bought it all. There's still a small box of it in my room. I think it looks like Little Bai Qi's snack. I wonder if I bought the wrong one," Fang Niannian said.
"You didn't buy the wrong one. It's the Moon Glazed Stone. Buy as many as you can. It's the treasure I mentioned … keep an eye out and see if there's any Moon Glazed Jade. If it's, don't frown and buy it all!" Zhu Minglang said.
"I've prepared the dragon food for next month!" Fang Niannian smiled.
"I have some Sacred Soul Orbs. Sell them on the market and replenish our funds," Zhu Minglang said.
"Got it!"
They had prepared enough dragon food. They did not have to worry about the dragons running out of food even if they had to go out for a trip.
However, after the Time Wave swept across the city, a lot of Heavenly Essence and Earthly Essence would be produced. The quality of the dragon food would improve significantly, too. The cultivation of the dragon herders would also improve rapidly!
…
The change of day and night in Ancestral Dragon City did not change too much. The people of the city lived in peace as long as they hid inside the city.
As the morning light scattered down, Zhu Minglang opened his eyes. He knew that most of the idle forces and god organizations in Dubhe Divine Border had already arrived at Li Chuan. Therefore, today was going to be another incomparably cruel battle. They couldn't afford to be the slightest bit negligent. Otherwise, Ancestral Dragon City might be destroyed by this flood!
As expected, before noon, countless groups of various sizes showed up at Lichuan Plains one after another.
What Zhu Minglang didn't expect was that the idle forces of the Tianshu Divine Border heading to the Ancestral Dragon City-State were unusually united. They seemed to be prepared to tear a piece of meat from the God Organization. Even when they saw the Oracle Flag on the Lichuan Plains, they still pressed forward.
For a moment, Ancestral Dragon City was surrounded by many Tianshu cultivators. Zhu Minglang stood on the city tower and glanced around. He could see more people gathering in the distance.
"What's going on? They're all rushing to Ancestral Dragon City all of a sudden. Why do these idle factions look like they've been gathered together?" Mi Zhongyun asked in confusion.
Ancestral Dragon City had already raised the flag of their Xuange Divine Nation.
Were they trying to provoke the Divine Nation's might?
"Someone must be behind this. They're using these idle factions," Qi Xun said.
Zhu Minglang frowned.
It seemed that there were quite a number of Tianshu forces that really wanted the Ancestral Dragon City. Originally, they thought that after getting rid of the Ming Shen Clan's army, the number of enemies that the Ancestral Dragon City had to face would decrease. However, they didn't expect that after a night, large groups of Tianshu cultivators would rush over!
"It's most likely that the news of this city being protected has spread outside," Mi Rong said.
A city that was not afraid of the darkness. This was no less than a god city or a god mountain protected by a god. In order to occupy a seat here, the cultivators of Tianshu Shenjiang rushed here with red eyes!
"What should we do?" The members of Xuange Divine Nation were at a loss. After all, they were such a large group.
The idle factions were actually the main force that invaded the Extreme Court's lower realm this time. The god organizations only had a certain amount of prestige that made the idle factions afraid. In terms of numbers and strength, the idle factions were far stronger than any god organizations.
"We have the Oracle Flag. Hmph, I knew these mortals would not back down. We should teach them a lesson and let them know the difference between the gods and mortals!" Mi Zhongyun was disdainful of the idle factions.
This time, Zhu Minglang chose to stand back a little. He could not possibly charge into battle all the time.
It was time for Xuange Divine Nation to show their might as a Divine Nation!
