A mountain range that was hundreds of meters tall was like a giant dragon crawling in the "Shadow Dark Swamp". It stretched endlessly from the distant horizon, but was suddenly cut off dozens of kilometers in front of it. A wide river rolled out from the bottom of the first half of the mountain range, and then flowed in from the bottom of the second half of the mountain range.
The river was an underground undercurrent. It was unknown where it came from or where it flowed to. Only the tens of kilometers between the mountain ranges were exposed on the surface. On both sides of the river, there was a wide beach covered with black sand. It was all brought out by the underground undercurrent and left here.
This was the reason why the "Lengsha River" was named.
The river was about ten miles long, and the middle section was completely golden. Upon closer inspection, it was countless golden leaves that were as large as disks floating on the surface of the river. Between the leaves, there were fist-sized golden flower buds. Through the gaps between the flower buds and the leaves, one could see the black water flowing below.
Not only was the sand as black as ink, even the river water was as black as ink.
After discovering this, Tang Huan, who had already arrived at the riverside, could not help but click his tongue in wonder. However, his attention was quickly attracted by the leaves and flower buds on the river surface.
"Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower!"
Tang Huan muttered this name in his heart, his eyes flashing.
Along the way, Tang Huan had already captured a lot of information from the discussions of the cultivators by the river.
Every once in a while, eight or ten years, this "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" would appear in this area of the Lengsha River. Once it bloomed, it would bear fruit, and the fruit would be a "golden cicada". Regardless of whether the fruit was picked or not, the "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" would wither in a few breaths of time.
Every "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" would have nine "golden cicadas".
For a first transformation Heaven Man, a "Golden Cicada" could condense two Dao Crystals; for a second transformation Heaven Man, a "Golden Cicada" could condense one Dao Crystal; for a third transformation Heaven Man, two "Golden Cicadas" could condense one Dao Crystal; for a fourth transformation Heaven Man, the use of a "Golden Cicada" was rather ordinary.
Because of this, the majority of the people gathered here were Heaven Men below the fourth transformation.
There were definitely more powerful Heaven Men. Of course, they wouldn't come here to snatch the "Golden Cicada" for their own use. Most likely, they wanted to sell it, or help others snatch it.
Tang Huan secretly estimated that there were at least a thousand flower buds in the Lengsha River, which could produce ten thousand "golden cicadas". However, the number of Heaven Realm cultivators gathered on both sides of the Lengsha River had already reached tens of thousands of people, and there were still groups of people gathering on the beaches on both sides of the river.
This meant that once the "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" bloomed, an intense battle would break out on the riverside due to the "Golden Cicada".
Now, the most suitable position to seize the Golden Cicada had already been occupied.
Those people would probably be able to pluck the "Golden Cicada" at the first possible moment. As for the others, they could only fight with their lives on the line. At that time, it was unknown how many people would die here, and there would definitely be a large number of Heaven Realm cultivators who would return empty-handed.
Tang Huan's mind raced, his mind raced. Since he had encountered a good thing like the Golden Cicada, he definitely could not miss it.
On the way here, he had already secretly experimented with the two transformations of the "Yin and Yang Void Method" and the "Heavenly Invisibility". For the time being, he was still unable to use them. Using divine abilities in the lower realms required a large amount of true essence, and using divine abilities in the lower realms in the Heaven Realm also required a large amount of Tian Yuan.
The Sky Origin Stage contained in the two Dao Crystals was temporarily unable to support the power needed to use the divine ability.
Fortunately, although he was unable to use any divine abilities, after his true essence was converted into Tian Yuan, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" would be able to be activated. When he fought for the "Golden Cicada", the two sides of the Lengsha River would definitely be in chaos. At that time, he could take the opportunity to activate the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and absorb some of the "Golden Cicada". The reason why he could rely on the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" this time was because after transcending the heavenly tribulation, not only could the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" expand, it could also contract greatly.
As long as he didn't rush too far forward, he believed that no one would notice its existence.
While thinking, a smile surfaced on Tang Huan's face, he quietly moved to the back of the crowd, calmed his mind, and carefully distinguished the sounds that came from his surroundings from time to time, obtaining some useful information.
"Hmm?"
After a long while, Tang Huan suddenly raised his eyebrows, and his gaze suddenly looked to the left.
Just a moment ago, it seemed as if someone was spying on him. However, as far as his eyes could see, he did not find anything unusual. This was the result of the Perception Ability being greatly weakened! If it was in the lower realms, even if someone was spying on him from a thousand meters away, he would be able to lock onto them in an instant.
Just as Tang Huan was about to carefully search the crowd, a loud noise suddenly rang out.
On the riverbank a few hundred meters away, there was actually someone arguing.
There was a beach that extended more than ten meters into the middle of the river. It could be said that the two sides of the river were the most suitable places to seize the "Golden Cicada".
The water of the Lengsha River was extremely terrifying. Once touched, it would melt, and no one dared to enter the river. If one were to fly through the air, even a Heaven Realm cultivator would not be able to maintain it for too long. Only when the flowers bloomed would someone rush into the sky to avoid wasting Sky Yuan.
Under such circumstances, the deeper one went into the river, the more convenient it would be to snatch the "Golden Cicada".
Previously, the ones who occupied that small area were more than ten abnormally tall and sturdy men. All of them were more than three meters tall, but after a short period of commotion, the group of sturdy men actually slipped out with their faces covered in dirt. Replacing them was another group of cultivators, about twenty of them.
The leader seemed to be a young man wearing a white robe. He was tall and straight, and was surrounded by the others like a star surrounding the moon.
However, that person was facing Tang Huan, so he could not see his appearance clearly.
Previously, those strong men were able to occupy the best position, so their strength was definitely not to be underestimated. However, now that they were easily chased away, the white robed man either had overwhelming strength, or his identity was extraordinary. However, this had nothing to do with Tang Huan, and after a while, he retracted his gaze.
Not long after, the noise in front of them rose again. It was the group of strong men who had stolen someone else's position.
In the lower realms, the strong were respected. In the upper realms, it was the same. If one's strength was inferior to others, no matter where they went, they would not be able to avoid the fate of being bullied. Tang Huan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Inside the Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the "Dao Nascent Soul" continued to circulate, carefully sensing the movements in their surroundings.
The number of cultivators on the banks of the Lengsha River continued to increase.
Unknowingly, night had fallen. The "Shadow Dark Swamp" and the two mountain ranges that had been cut into two were completely shrouded in darkness. Only the "Bodhisattva Golden Cicada Flower" in the middle of the Lengsha River bloomed with a faint golden luster, illuminating the riverbank area like a dream.
