The two flood dragons obeyed the order and arrived in the sky above the Gushing Spring State.
The two brothers exchanged a few words in the sky and then separated. One of them shook his body and transformed into the appearance of the demon toad; while the other went down to the lake and activated his mana. Not long after, the river below turned around and started to make a ruckus.
However, the leading flood dragon looked at it and said unhappily, "Second brother, what are you doing? Did you not eat your fill last time?"
The Flood Dragon below was also depressed. If it was somewhere else, it only needed to stir up the wind and clouds, and any kind of huge wave could be set off. However, the Western Continent was sparse in spirit vigor. Even though he had increased his supernatural power by several times, it was still not enough.
For a moment, he felt that he had lost face. He was also naturally arrogant. He roared angrily and said, "Big Brother, just watch."
He let out a deafening dragon roar and dived into the depths of the water. The surface of the sea was calm at first but not long after, there was a faint sound of water gushing.
After a while, dark clouds surged in from the sky. The waves of the Thousand Instant Lake rose up and down and the waves rolled angrily.
The flood dragon in the sky was satisfied, "That's more like it. Brother, hold on here. I'll go greet the people from the Gushing Spring State."
When he finished, he turned around and flew into the state.
Although he didn't know the way, he didn't need to guess to know that the place where the king of a country lived was the most prosperous place in the country. Thus, he stared at the flood dragon's eyes and lay on the cloud to discern the aura. Then, he found a city in the south. At this moment, the sky was drizzling and the water was misty. There were thousands of palaces and bridges. The bridges were connected to the water and the pavilions were endless.
He was in the form of a demon toad now so he did not avoid anything. He flew into the air and entered the palace wall. He saw that there was a Taoist temple at the top of the mountain, with a small hill to the north, and a star platform was built on top of it. At each of the four corners were fully-bellied copper toads squatting on guard. Wisps of green smoke floated out from their mouths, sometimes gathering and sometimes gathering. It was a place that was meticulously arranged to nourish spiritual energy.
He knew that this was not the work of a mortal. It was most likely the work of the demon toad. Hence, he floated down and landed on the platform.
There were hundreds of soldiers guarding the platform. The leader of the military academy sensed the commotion and rushed up to the platform. He recognized the Mountain Deity and quickly knelt down to pay his respects. He said, "May I know why the Great Deity is here? Are you going to perform a ritual today?"
The flood dragon asked, "Is the king here?"
The military academy was startled. He said, "I don't know. Perhaps he is refining his Qi in the pill room."
The flood dragon sighed and said, "I'm outside the sky, and I've discovered that there's going to be a flood wave coming soon. It's so powerful that it's hard to control it, and it could drown my continent."
The military officer was shocked and said, "What should we do now?"
The flood dragon said, "I can open the altar and cast a spell. They only resisted slightly because they suspected that there was a demon behind the flood. However, if they fought, they would not be able to fight. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect all of you. Go and inform the king that we need to find a way to move to another continent to avoid disaster. "The demon toad's clone had been in the Gushing Spring Continent for more than a hundred years. After four dynasties, the fate of this country had never declined. Hence, the king believed his words without a doubt. He couldn't help but be at a loss of what to do. He immediately gathered his officials to discuss the matter of moving.
However, the signs of disaster had yet to appear. Not everyone was willing to abandon their families and leave their homes just because of a sentence. Suddenly, there were many voices of doubt.
However, after half a day, a never-before-seen storm appeared in the southwest direction. The flood wave was more than a hundred feet high. However, it was blocked by a formless mana, which was why it didn't invade the continent. For a moment, everyone was silent.
However, there was another problem. There were close to a million families in the country, and they couldn't leave just because they wanted to. Even if they abandoned them, they would have to prepare a boat for the officials and nobles. It wouldn't be something that could be done in a short period of time. Ten days to half a month was considered a minimum.
The king had no choice but to send someone to seek advice from the star platform.
This was exactly what the Flood Dragon wanted; it was convenient for him to appear in his dreams that night, saying that he would send them to the other continents, and later when the matter was settled, he would move them back here. He ordered everyone to stay at home and close the doors, not to panic.
The night passed peacefully, and on the second day, when everyone awoke from their dreams and opened their doors to take a look, they noticed that they were already on another continent. At the same time that they were endlessly surprised, every household erected the Mountain God's memorial tablet, praying for blessings.
There was no land or farmland in the new continent. Other than storing food, the millions of families could only hunt and fish for a living. They definitely wouldn't be able to last long.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan's move was only to prevent the demon toad from retaliating before its death. After this matter was settled, he would naturally move these people back.
The flood dragon's spell also consumed most of its mana. After resting for a while, it met up with its younger brother. It turned around and reported to Zhang Yan that the matter was settled.
Zhang Yan listened to the process and gave a few words of praise. The two flood dragons were also proud of themselves.
At this moment, there was no trace of anyone in the continent. He could do whatever he wanted. He rode on the flood dragon carriage and circled around the island. After a while, he confirmed the location of the forbidden land. He then said, "Zhang Chan, follow me inside. The two of you guard the outside. Without my permission, don't leave without my permission. If there's anything that comes out, stop it immediately."
The two flood dragons responded loudly.
Zhang Yan waved at Zhang Chan. The latter immediately turned into the original form of the blood worm and went into his sleeve.
Then, he used the Earth Escape Technique and went straight down.
After about a thousand feet, he saw an underground river. At the end of the river, there was an echo from the distance.
He followed the sound. After a few miles, the front suddenly widened. He had entered into an empty underground space. It was about a hundred feet tall and occupied about a mile. Inside, there were hundreds of natural stone pillars. The two ends of the pillars were big and the middle was narrow.
However, the surroundings were empty. There was nothing out of the ordinary and there was no sign of the demon toad.
After muttering to himself for a while, he walked towards the center. Below him, he saw half of a broken monument. The rest of the monument had long since been broken into pieces, forming a low mound. Presumably, it was used to seal the Sky Demons in the past.
There were some indescribable mysterious pictures on the tablet. They seemed to be related to the stars in the sky.
His heart was moved. He wanted to take a look at the technique of the Great Underworld Patriarch. Unfortunately, the Spiritual Vigor Talisman on it had already dissipated. After looking for a while, he did not see any clues. He smiled and did not persist on it. He waved his sleeves and moved the gravel to the side, revealing a hole the size of a fist.
A white gas shot out from his eyes and went straight down.
After looking at it for a while, he had a clear idea of what was going on. He immediately retracted the light and pointed with his finger. With a rumbling sound, the soil under his feet collapsed, revealing a slope that extended down into a deep cave. No one knew where it led to.
With his feet firmly planted on the ground, he strolled forward. In less than a thousand steps, he saw a large building deep underground. In front of it was a row of jade stairs, and in front of the main hall was a bronze tripod and incense burner. Above the jade plaque, the words "Xuanyou Palace" could be vaguely seen. On both sides of the rock walls were cave niches, and there were many statues of deities inside. Each of them had different expressions and looked lifelike.
Zhang Yan's eyes flashed. He did not think that the Great Underworld Patriarch would use his mind power to suppress a demon.
If his guess was not wrong, these should have been buried directly into this space from the surface of the earth when the restriction was sealed that day. Therefore, these buildings were very likely the ruins of some Daoist sect in the past.
However, the matter at hand was more important. After this was over, he could take a look around and see if there were any remnants of the Etched Tablets.
He stood in front of the temple. This was close to the heart of the sealed Demon Toad. If there was any trap, it must be here.
He had always treated this Heavenly Demon as a formidable foe and did not underestimate it just because he had easily destroyed its doppelganger earlier. A thought flashed through his mind and he said, "Zhang Chan, send the golden bug inside to investigate."
As soon as he said this, a golden bug flew out from his sleeve and landed on the ground. It transformed into a pale young man. He bowed and said, "Master, please wait."
He let out a low whistle and a large swarm of bugs flew out from his body. They crawled up the stairs and rushed into the temple like a tide.
These bugs were only connected to Zhang Chan's mind. After a while, he revealed a happy expression and quietly reported a few words.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly. His body swayed slightly and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in front of a large stone pit.
The pit was surrounded by a pile of soil about ten feet high. It was half buried and half buried. There was an object inside. The outline of the object was extremely large. Upon closer inspection, it was a Jade Toad about ten feet long. It had red eyes and a round mouth. Its limbs were thick and short. There was a short horn on its forehead and there were thousands of bumps on its back. It looked like a bead curtain. If one looked closely, they could see that it had many tightly closed eyes. Although it was only an empty shell, it was crouching on the ground. Its eyes were wide open and it looked like it was alive.
Zhang Chan curled his lips and said, "Master, is this the Thousand-Eyed Flower Toad? It looks normal. It's just that it's a little bigger. "
Zhang Yan said calmly, "This monster is different from the other ferocious beasts. Its ability lies entirely in its thousand pairs of eyes. Legend has it that when it fights, it can release thousands of rays of light that can weaken spirits and absorb souls. When it goes out, it can illuminate hundreds of miles of land and when it comes back, it can be restrained by a hair's breadth. Unless you're in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, be it human or demon, human or beast, you'll die upon contact with it."
Zhang Chan was speechless and said, "It's that powerful?"
When he fought with others, he mostly relied on the thousands of insects under his command. He was most afraid of such methods.
Zhang Yan sensed for a long time but did not notice anything strange. His mind turned. When he arrived here, he thought that there would be a conflict. Therefore, he was cautious. He did not expect that there would be no movement even after he found the body.
He did not think that everything would be fine after he captured the spirit in the golden talisman. With such a Sky Demon, it was impossible that it did not leave something behind. It was most likely hiding somewhere else.
He praised in his heart. This Great Demon was decisive. It left as soon as it said it would. It did not even care about its own body.
However, even if it escaped with the blood essence, as long as it was still in the West Continent, there was no need to worry about it. The most important thing now was to keep this body.
He said in a deep voice, "Zhang Chan, I need to use my divine art to convey his words. Retreat outside and protect me."
Zhang Chan responded. He immediately called the thousands of golden insects and flew in all directions.
With a flick of his finger, Zhang Yan released several formation flags and inserted them around the hole. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a celestial sound suddenly rang in his ears. A ray of spiritual light flew out like a wisp of smoke and floated into the nose of the monster toad.
