"Rumor has it that there will be a volcanic eruption on the Spinning Top Mountain every once in a while."
At this moment.
At the foot of the Spinning Top Mountain, the troops from the Eastern faction had stopped. There was still some time before the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, so they were not in a hurry. They had come all the way here to attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, he paused here.
Qiu Yunhai was telling Li Wuyou about the rumors of the Spinning Top Mountain.
"It's a wonderful mountain."
Li Wuyou was not interested in what he heard. In his mind, other than things related to the Great Way of Immortality, everything else was tasteless.
He only glanced at the mountain indifferently. He had no other intentions and closed his eyes.
Qiu Yunhai knew Li Wuyou's character, so he didn't say anything more at this moment.
He cupped his hands slightly and left respectfully.
Together with Shen Lianxin, he made arrangements for the soldiers from the Eastern faction to rest.
Li Wuyou was immersed in his thoughts.
During this period of time.
His strength had completely stabilized at the sixth level of the Vajra Realm.
Whether it was his physical body or his Spirit, they had both reached a state of perfection.
He wanted to improve further.
However, he still did not find any news about the Nine-Scaled Teng Snake.
Therefore, he was a little anxious in his heart.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. If he could not find the Nine-Scaled Teng Snake, he could not continue cultivating. He could only wait patiently.
The only thing he could do was to improve his condition as much as he could.
Let his physical body and Divine Soul reach their best condition.
When he found the Nine-Scaled Teng Snake in the future, he could absorb and refine it at the fastest speed.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
The sunset glow stretched across the sky. From afar, it looked like someone had lit a flame in the sky. Then, the flame began to weaken and extinguish.
The temperature between heaven and earth also began to cool down.
The wind in the forest blew and landed on people's bodies. It felt very light.
Li Wuyou was completely immersed in his thoughts.
He even sealed off his facial features.
At this time.
With the three thousand grandmasters of the Eastern Faction, as well as the two Vajra Realm experts, Qiu Yunhai and Shen Lianxin, there was no need for him to worry about anything. Therefore, he could relax.
The 3,000 Grandmasters surrounding Li Wuyou were not idle either.
They were cultivating.
Although everyone had reached the Grandmaster Realm, the medicinal power in their bodies had not been completely consumed. Therefore, they had to work harder and try to absorb the remaining medicinal power before the 5th of August, when they had to go to the Land of Endless Suffering.
In this way, people's strength would be able to reach a higher level.
As for Qiu Yunhai and Shen Lianxin, they stood at the two sides of the area.
They seemed to be sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, but their divine senses were vigilantly watching everything around them.
They couldn't let anyone affect Li Wuyou.
There were also the three thousand Grandmasters who were cultivating.
Crack!
Suddenly, a slight sound came from the depths of the Gyroscope Mountain when the world was relatively quiet.
It felt as if a huge rock in the depths of the Gyroscope Mountain had been shattered by something.
Then, there was another sound of crashing.
Countless gravel rolled out in all directions.
At this moment.
Qiu Yunhai and Shen Lianxin opened their eyes at the same time.
This was because they felt something strange from the sound of the gravel shattering. It seemed as if some kind of power had suddenly erupted in the mountain and caused the entire mountain to shake.
"Is there something in Gyroscope Mountain?"
"Is it awakening?"
"Is it a sign that the volcano is about to erupt?"
The two of them looked at each other from afar. A trace of unconcealable seriousness appeared on their faces.
"No, it's not just an explosion of power. There is a faint sound coming from inside."
Shen Lianxin was the first to react. She frowned slightly.
Her cultivation method made her more sensitive than ordinary people and Vajra Realm experts of the same realm.
He was also able to sense things that others couldn't.
She heard a somewhat suppressed roar.
The sound was very soft, but it was real.
"I heard it too!"
"The sound is getting louder and clearer. It's also getting more violent. It seems like something is crawling out from inside!"
After a short moment of silence, Qiu Yunhai suddenly frowned.
This was because he also heard the sound coming from inside.
Boom!
Just as the two of them were talking to each other, a deafening sound came from the top of Gyroscope Mountain. Then, the entire mountain seemed to shake slightly.
Then, he slowly twisted his body.
Something seemed to have cracked at the top of Gyroscope Mountain. Then, countless gravel poured out in all directions. In an instant, it formed a stone waterfall.
Countless gravel kept falling, almost covering the entire land.
As the gravel fell to the ground, there was a rumbling sound at the foot of the mountain. A large amount of dust flew up.
Crash!
Qiu Yunhai and Shen Lianxin stood up. They looked at each other and saw the obvious nervousness and worry in each other's eyes.
Everyone in the world was watching the journey to the Endless Hardship Land. Nothing must happen on the way. If there was an accident, it would be a great blow to the reputation of the Eastern Depot.
Nothing must happen.
"I'll go and take a look. You stay here and guard. Don't let anything happen to anyone. Don't disturb the Superintendent!"
"Those bastards who are watching us secretly. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to come over, kill them!"
Qiu Yunhai's eyes flashed with a trace of unconcealable savagery as he said to Shen Lianxin coldly.
"Don't worry."
"Leave this to me."
"You have to be careful too. Something that can cause such a big commotion is definitely not something simple. Don't get hurt!"
"If there is any danger, the Eastern Depot will work together to eliminate it. Don't take the risk alone!"
Shen Lianxin cupped her hands at Qiu Yunhai and said softly.
The two of them had fought side by side for many years. They had developed a tacit understanding and care for each other.
"Don't worry!"
Qiu Yunhai didn't hesitate at all. As soon as he finished speaking, dense aura surged out from his body. After that, the aura transformed into a pair of piercingly cold black wings that carried him up into the sky.
Boom!
His figure turned into a stream of light and flew towards the peak of the Spinning Spiral Mountain.
At the same time.
On the peak of the Spinning Spiral Mountain, there was a gloomy and ferocious roar. Then, a huge black shadow slowly revealed its head from the crack on the peak of the mountain.
It was a huge head.
It looked like it was as big as a person.
The entire head was pitch-black, as if it was dyed with ink. On top of the head, there was a sharp horn that was flashing with black light.
The horn was exceptionally sharp. The ominous aura that it emitted seemed to be able to tear the entire world into pieces.
It was unparalleled.
What was more terrifying was the shape of the head. There were no edges or creases. It looked like it was completely wrapped up by something. Only its two eyes were flashing with a ferocious light.
If one could take a closer look, they would realize that its head was really wrapped up by something. Even its two eyes were wrapped up.
However, because the light in its eyes was too bright, only a part of it was revealed.
It was indescribable.
Whoosh!
Following the emergence of the head, the body of the enormous creature also began to slowly emerge from the mountain.
Its body was also wrapped by something completely black. Then, there were sections of it.
It looked like a stick insect.
Whoosh!
The first section of its body drilled out. It looked exactly the same as the head. It was also wrapped up by something. There was no gap or anything else.
It was a perfect whole.
Then, the second section of its body drilled out. Then, the third section …
In a short period of time, it drilled out several sections of its body. More than half of its body was exposed, spiraling outside the crack at the peak of the mountain.
It was only then that one could clearly see the shape of the monster.
It was a snake.
At the very least, it could be said to be a snake-shaped monster.
There was nothing else on its body. Scales, color changes, mouth, nostrils, and so on. It was a monster that was completely wrapped up by a few black scales.
It was the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent.
When it was born, only its head was complete. Its entire body had yet to be born. At that time, only a single scale would grow out of its body.
The scale would cover its entire head and protect it from harm.
It was unable to eat or drink. It was also unable to move. It would exist like a rock in the place it was born. Then, as time passed, it would grow by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth between heaven and earth.
As it grew a second section of its body, it would also grow a second scale. This scale would also completely wrap its body.
It would not leave any trace or gap.
However, its body would move.
It could leave the place it was born and go to other places to continue absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and continue growing.
That was the basic growth process of the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent.
After about nine thousand years, it would finally grow all nine scales. Then, it would become a real snake and be able to move freely between heaven and earth.
That was the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent.
At that very moment …
The Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent had drilled out of the crack in the ground. However, its entire body had not drilled out. This meant that the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent had not fully matured.
It could be seen from its scales. There were only eight simple scales on its body. The ninth scale had yet to grow out. It was only a hard shell that had just formed.
Therefore, it did not dare to fully expose its body from the mountain. It was very dangerous.
The Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent had a fatal flaw.
It was its physical body.
Its body was very fragile. Without the protection of its scales, even a simple ordinary person could cause it great pain and injury.
If it was not stopped in time, its life could be in danger.
That was the reason why the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent refused to leave the ground. It had stayed in the depths of the ground for almost nine thousand years. It was because it was afraid of death.
It was also afraid of getting hurt.
Only when all nine scales had fully matured would it be able to resist the dangers of the outside world.
That was because its scales were indestructible.
It was really the kind that was indestructible.
In this mortal world, apart from the magma in the depths of the earth that could leave marks on its scales, there was nothing known that could pose a threat to it.
In other words, once its nine scales were fully matured, the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent would be almost unkillable.
Not only was it unkillable, but almost no one could hurt it.
That was unsolvable.
The Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent that appeared at this moment happened to meet Li Wuyou's needs.
That was because the Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent was almost fully grown. The energy contained in its body and spirit had basically met Li Wuyou's cultivation requirements.
However, it had not fully matured yet.
There were still flaws and openings that could give Li Wuyou a chance to kill it and refine it.
It seemed to have been specially prepared for Li Wuyou.
Hiss!
The Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent lifted its head slightly. Its eyes, which were covered by scales, looked into the distant sky. There seemed to be something in the indescribable depths of the sky that made it fearful.
Or perhaps, something made it feel something.
In fact.
The Nine-Scaled Soaring Serpent did not want to wake up today. It was cultivating slowly in the depths of the ground, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth. In another five hundred years, the ninth scale would be fully matured.
It would then be completely immortal and indestructible.
At least in the mortal world, no one would be able to hurt it.
However, as it was training, it suddenly sensed something strange.
That thing seemed to be transmitted from the distant depths of the sky and struck the depths of its soul, making it unable to continue cultivating quietly.
In order to get rid of that stimulation, it crawled out from the depths of the ground.
Then, it wanted to find the source of that stimulation. Who was it?
However, it did not find the source of that stimulation.
Instead, it saw a figure breaking through the air. It was Qiu Yunhai …
