This trip to the Dead Sea allowed Qin Di to pick up more than fifty relatively intact grotto-heavens, twenty slightly damaged grotto-heavens, and hundreds of Grass of Immortality. He was already somewhat numb to these grotto-heavens. He threw them all into Fangcun Mountain and thought of a way to deal with them in the future.
After returning, he handed over the twenty damaged grotto-heavens and dozens of Grass of Immortality to the sect.
As for the fifty or so intact grotto-heavens, he called over Miao Yunjuan and the others, as well as Shen Yunyi, Fan Yao, Long Jin 'er, and their disciples to search for them. They picked out the most valuable treasures and gave them to him for safekeeping. Then, he let the four disciples each pick a grotto-heavens to refine.
Then, Qin Di picked out fifty of the hundred and fifty grotto-heavens with the most abundant resources and let the little peach tree extract a spirit vein from each of the remaining hundred grotto-heavens to strengthen itself. Then, he placed these grotto-heavens in the Immortal Cultivation Palace on both sides of the Skyfall River.
He reminded every disciple that if the flood came, as long as someone climbed up the mountain, they could hide in the grotto-heavens.
Because every main city had many commoners, and although the mountain where the Immortal Cultivation Palace was located was raised, there weren't many places for commoners to stand. Now that there were grotto-heavens, there was no need to worry about not having a place to hide.
These disciples guarding the grotto-heavens were all Qi Refinement Great Perfection disciples who had trained in the grotto-heavens on Scarlet Flame Island. Thus, they were very excited to see the grotto-heavens again, especially with the abundant resources inside.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Grand Master, what if the spiritual materials inside are taken away by the commoners?"
Qin Di shrugged and said, "Go in and take a look first. Put away the useful ones. As for the commoners taking them away, don't worry too much. If you're not satisfied, why don't you check them carefully when they leave. "
Qin Di had no choice but to take out nearly a hundred grotto-heavens at once.
To be honest, he didn't have much use for these grotto-heavens at the moment. They couldn't be eaten or drunk, and he couldn't exchange them for spirit stones because he didn't lack spirit stones.
Since he took them out, he didn't plan on taking them back quickly. Because the nine peaks of the Spirit Mountain collapsed one after another, the flood might happen nine times. If he took the grotto-heavens back every time, it would be too troublesome. If he took the grotto-heavens back every time, it would be too much trouble. As for whether or not someone would stop him, he didn't really care. With the improvement of his cultivation, even Perfected Cultivator Xu of the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm was no match for him. What was there to be afraid of?
If there was anything that he was worried about, it would just be that he would be coveted by others. If he did not give so many Grotto-Heavens to the sect, it would not be good for his reputation.
But he already had so many grotto-heavens. However, he didn 'Dao Sect Of Di didn't care. Sect Golden Sect Pill Sect, Grotto-Heavens, and Sect of Sect. Grotto-Heavens, Dao, and heavens, and Heav.
Dao Dao, Spiritual, Di, and Sect, Dao, Di Groto-Heavens, and Immortal, Dao Saved people, Grotto-Heavens. Those who are rescued should burn incense and thank Immortal Qin, and report to the Heavens. "
Qin Di didn't know if there was a system of public morality cultivation in this world, so the original intention of writing these words was not to let the common people thank him, but to shut the mouths of the Jindan Sect cultivators. The meaning was: This is my Heavenly Abode, you brats should stop thinking about it! One day in the future, I, Daoist Master Qin, will take back these heavenly passages!
He walked around the mortal world and found that although the government had mobilized, many people did not take the flood seriously.
Some of them were poor and couldn't afford to buy a boat. Some of them felt that it didn't matter. If they died, they'd be left with their heads facing the sky.
Some people had prepared boats, but when the flood did not come for a long time, they threw the boats to the side, and some even dismantled the rafts to start a fire.
For this reason, Qin Di had to instruct the disciples guarding the Immortal Cultivation Palace to spread the news and put up notices everywhere, reminding the common people to escape to the Immortal Cultivation Palace when the flood came.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Di built two Altar of Time. One was placed on Heavenly Star Island, which could accelerate the effect of cultivation by three times, and the other was placed in the Grotto-Heavens, which could accelerate time by five times.
These two altars were relatively large, and could accommodate at least 30 people.
Therefore, he called Miao Yunjuan and the others back, and together with his four disciples, they could go to the Altar of Time on the island to cultivate. As for the few disciples, not everyone could go to the altar. They needed to be inspected once a year, and only those who had the value of cultivation could go up.
In the blink of an eye, more than four years had passed since the warning to mobilize people to prepare for the flood was issued. Many people had forgotten about this matter, and both sides of the Tongtian River were filled with songs and dances.
However, what should come would come! Those who should die would die!
One day, the head of the Golden Pill Sect, Zheng Tianping, suddenly received news from Tianbao Hall. "The first peak of the Spiritual Mountain has collapsed! The flood will arrive in three days. According to the amount of water brought by the collapse of the snowy peak of the Spiritual Mountain, and the collapse of the water system along the way, it is estimated that the water level on both sides of the Tongtian River will rise by 500 feet! "
"Ha! 500 feet! All the big cities on both sides of the Tongtian River will be submerged under the water. We need to retreat for 3000 miles to reach the position where the water level will be submerged! "
Zheng Tianping hurriedly released the news to the north and south countries on both sides of the river.
The King of the Yue Country quickly sent people to warn all the places. However, the mortal world was vast, and there were no immortal methods, televisions, computers, cell phones, or phones. By the time the news reached the places, it would be too late!
Therefore, the Golden Pill Sect and the other sects also used their identity tokens to summon their disciples to fly out and inform the common people to evacuate!
The Immortal Cultivation Palace near the major cities also started to get busy, sending out disciples to notify the local authorities and to issue notices.
Even at this time, more than half of the people did not care.
"Hmph, where did the flood come from? It's a lie! It's a lie! I'm not leaving! "
"Don't pull me! I'm not going anywhere. If I die, then I die. What's the big deal? "
However, there were also people who dragged their families, carrying cloth bags of rations on their backs, and started to climb the nearby mountains.
Some people hurriedly took out the boats that they had prepared four years ago, repaired them, and found the oars, preparing to escape.
There were even some who did some calculations, and then called their clan members over to join them. Then they mounted their horses and sped away from the Heavenspan River.
Of course, there were still people who were hesitant. "Aiya, why is there another round of trouble? Should I leave this time or not? Don't tell me I have to stay in the mountains for another two years? That will not be a good time! "
"En, I'd better leave. The commotion this time is not small, and it seems to be real."
Although it was said to be three days, the Yue Country was too big. Even if all the disciples of the Golden Pill Sect went out, they would not be able to notify every city, not to mention the many villages.
Qin Di also personally went out, driving the Tongtian Boat and scattering leaflets in the various villages, calling people to leave their homes and rush to higher ground.
Some villages received the leaflets, believed it, and started to prepare to escape. Some villages did not believe it, and they were seeking their own destruction, and no one could save them.
Three days passed quickly, and the great flood covered the sky and earth, like a collapsing mountain, razing the cities on both sides to the ground!
In an instant, it was unknown how many people were killed by the flood.
Countless people regretted the moment they died. "Why was I so numb, why didn't I escape earlier?"
Qin Di returned to Ning City at the last moment of the flood, and used a self-made immortal formation to protect the courtyard of the Qin Residence. Although many houses had sunk to the bottom of the water, they were protected by the formation membrane, and were not destroyed by the flood!
The Spiritual Immortal Apricot Tree also raised its head from the flood and turned into a towering tree. Its branches stretched out to support the immortal array's membrane, making the immortal array's defense more stable.
As for the people of the Yue Country's royal family, they had already been rescued by Lan Xing Chang and other Perfected Cultivators.
However, there were still countless people who died. Although Qin Di tried his best to save them, it was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.
This great flood lasted for three whole years!
After three years, even those who escaped to the nearby mountains died of starvation!
Only those who escaped to the Immortal Cultivation Palace survived. Because the grotto-heavens had spiritual grains, spiritual herbs, and prepared food, they barely did not starve to death.
Of course, there were also many people who survived. They were all in the cities three thousand li away from the Tongtian River, and there were still many commoners there.
After three years, the flood subsided, and the two sides of the Tongtian River were in ruins!
Many commoners walked out of the grotto-heavens, and looked at the ruins, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Some people wanted to rebuild their homes on the ruins, but they received further information that such a great flood could happen eight more times! The time span was as long as three thousand years!
Some people were afraid, and so they led their families and fled to places far away from the Tongtian River to settle down.
Someone calculated, "Eight times in three thousand years, an average of three hundred years! Hmph, it's still early! I'm going to live here! After all, this place is rich in spiritual energy, and the production of food is high. It's easy to make a living! If we go to the southern mountains, where the land is barren, how can we survive? "
Thus, some people rebuilt the cities and opened up wastelands.
As expected, the great flood brought down from the spiritual mountains, not only did it bring disaster, but it also brought rich spiritual energy. The cultivated wastelands could quickly grow to half a person's height, it was really too fertile!
The population increased day by day, and in less than a hundred years, the two sides of the Tongtian River would be flourishing again!
Some people who survived returned to the Immortal Cultivation Palace, and based on their imagination, they carved a statue with the words "Immortal Qin, the savior!" From time to time, they would burn incense to express their thanks.
When Qin Di saw this, he felt a little numb. He didn't know whether this was a good or bad thing for him.
According to traditional beliefs, only the dead were worthy of being worshiped. However, this was the world of immortal cultivation, and many great immortals were also worshiped in the mortal world. For example, in the Golden Pill Sect's Ancestral Hall, at least one-third of the people with memorial tablets were not dead. These people might have gone to the spiritual mountains to cultivate, or they might have climbed up the spiritual mountains and entered the spiritual world.
