Clouds Stir in All Directions
Outside Yucheng City, it was still morning, but the sky was pitch black, and the dark clouds looked like two huge landmasses colliding and pressing down.
When they came into contact, the energy that erupted was terrifying; the thick, emerald-green lightning was blinding, like a vast, majestic Congling Mountains stretching across the sky.
Everyone was astonished. What a strange sight! A massive, emerald-green lightning bolt, as thick as a mountain range, stood majestic and powerful in the sky, seemingly suppressing the world!
"Something's gone wrong, everyone! Have you seen the news? A once-in-a-millennium celestial phenomenon has occurred in our Yucheng City. Lightning is like a mountain stretching across the sky, it's terrifying!"
Someone leaked the information online.
In fact, some platforms had already followed up and reported the strange celestial phenomena in Yucheng City immediately. First, there was blood-red lightning, then ball lightning, and then thunderous mountains appeared.
Some experts interpret this as normal; multiple dark clouds with lightning are so dense that there are occasional moments when the lightning overlaps, giving the illusion of a mountain.
"Which expert said that? Come and see for yourself. The emerald green Thunder Mountain hasn't disappeared yet. This is not just a fleeting scene."
High in the sky, two blurry continents seemed to collide once again, thunderous mountains collapsed, and lightning in one area poured down like a waterfall.
Boom!
It was truly a cataclysmic event. The famous scenic spot, Golden Peak, was completely destroyed by a waterfall that cascaded down from the sky, leaving only a broken section of the peak!
The scene was so stunning that everyone was stunned.
"Expert, come out here and walk a few steps. You still dare to say this is an illusion? I'll shove you into a thunder cave!"
The pitch-black sky outside Yucheng City resembled the shadow cast by a floating, extraordinary continent, casting terrifying energy that sent chills down people's spines. News reports immediately flooded the internet.
Huang Kun stared at the sky. When the magnificent thunder roared across the heavens, he saw far more of nature than ordinary people. One plant was particularly splendid and sacred.
"Tell Wang Xuan not to rush over. He still has time to prepare. What he sees now is not the real Heavenly Medicine, but just an illusion reflected by the lightning."
He asked Huang Xinghai to relay that the Heavenly Medicine was rooted in a higher spiritual realm, and few people could see it. Only through the illumination of immortals could one vaguely see its traces.
At the Zhong family residence, Wang Xuan looked at the screen and nodded after receiving the message from the Huang Family.
Chen Yongjie said, "Old Huang is quite sincere; he didn't deliberately hide anything in order to urge you to set off."
Zhong Cheng, also in the monitoring room, learned part of the truth and was extremely excited, wishing he could participate in it personally. He said, "The celestial medicine of the Higher Mental World? The Transcendent Immortals will compete for it behind the Great Curtain, and they can also compete for it in the mortal world. They can... fish for the celestial medicine? What a grand scene!"
"This is none of your business!" Zhong Qing glanced at him, telling him to be quiet.
Old Chen and Wang Xuan were very cautious, fearing that the extraordinary beings might overhear their conversation using Secret Treasures or other means. They communicated in the spiritual realm.
"Are you going to fish for the Heavenly Medicine? With great opportunities come great risks, all sorts of calamities, spiritual Heavenly Fire, and so on, all of which must be taken into account," Chen Yongjie said.
Wang Xuan stroked the shimmering silk thread with his hand. An ancient fishing hook had already been tied to it. This was a relic left by the Oath Keeper, and it could penetrate the Mental World.
"To be honest, I've considered a lot and have some good contingency plans, but after thinking about it, the lineup there is just too big, with Transcendent Immortals and celestial medicines. I'll just watch quietly and not get involved."
He thought for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to go, then give up everything, return the silk thread to Huang Kun, and let him find another partner. You can lend him the fishing hook."
In Yucheng City, at the Huang Family, Huang Xinghai was somewhat lost in thought after receiving Wang Xuan's call.
"He's a decent person; he was willing to lend the fishing hook directly to the Huang Family. He said he was too weak to participate in such a big event," he told Huang Kun.
"That's such a pity," Huang Kun sighed. He asked Huang Xinghai to relay his hope that there would be an opportunity to cooperate in the future.
At Wangyue Cliff, ancient osmanthus trees, some over a thousand years old, bloom in abundance, their fragrance permeating the air and refreshing the soul. A white-clothed woman uses extraordinary means to send a message outward.
"The Huang Family is making a big move; it seems they're trying to lure out Tianyao!"
Clearly, there are more than just one or two extraordinary beings on New Star connected to the behind the Great Curtain forces; there may even be an underground circle involved. This communication has caused quite a stir.
In a certain Underground Palace, after three months of recuperation, Zhou Chong's physical condition... was still very poor, mainly because his true bones had been broken!
The bone fragment, which represented his immortal destiny, was directly broken, resulting in the loss of a significant amount of Immortal Dao substance within it. This caused him immense pain, making Mech Number Five to the core.
The only thing that could bring him comfort and excitement was that the Soul Locking Bell was now in his hands!
Just then, a glowing butterfly flew in, fluttering and carrying a message.
He looked surprised and said, "With the emergence of Higher Mental World, the celestial medicine may fall. If I can obtain it, the regeneration of broken immortal bones and the perfect reconstruction of flesh and blood will not be a big problem!"
In the area known to the indigenous people as Demon God Ridge, a blurry figure moved as it stepped out of a lake, treading on the water.
On Source Pool Mountain, a hazy figure muttered to himself, "My followers Christine and Hansolo both died here. This is the clash between technology and mythology. This is just the beginning. Is the present world already this intense? Oh, even the celestial medicine has appeared."
In the ancient Daoist temple of a certain tycoon, the silent, blood-red true bones were disturbed by the abnormal fluctuations in the outside world; someone was calling to him.
"Please forgive me, but I have no choice but to report this. A celestial medicine has been created that can reshape an immortal body!"
In other cities, the slumbering phantoms in ancient temples have also been disturbed, and on more than one occasion, they have temporarily awakened.
Kangning City, at the Sun family's mothership base, the Mech Number Five's eyes were flashing various information symbols frantically. In a sense, it could monitor various places and collect information at a speed far exceeding that of others.
It is infiltrating various secret networks, collecting information about the Huang Family, Tianyao, and Yucheng City, and constantly switching monitoring screens.
"The Heavenly Medicine, a product of the Higher Mental World, is of immense benefit to my 'spiritual spark'; it can even restore me!"
It is verifying, monitoring, and assessing whether to take action.
Then, it transformed into a fanatical robot, recklessly invading Sky Net and searching for information everywhere.
In this era, almost all human activities are under the watchful eyes of the sky and detectors; if you really want to trace the traces, there are no secrets to speak of.
Mech Number Five was very efficient and naturally tracked down the scene of Wang Xuan entering the Huang Family hall. Then, a beam of light flashed violently deep in its eye sockets.
A moment later, it transformed into a shuttle-shaped flying machine, soared into the sky, and quickly disappeared.
"This station reports that a severe thunderstorm has struck the mountains outside Yucheng City, destroying the main peak of Golden Peak Mountain!"
At this moment, the entire internet was focused on the scene. Never before had they seen such terrifying lightning, as if a mountain had crashed down from the sky and a long river had rushed down.
"Which fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation? Next time, please give me a heads-up. I was so startled when I went to the toilet just now that I shivered and soaked my feet!"
This rare phenomenon is impossible to ignore. Whether people are genuinely terrified or just making jokes, it demonstrates the enormous sensation caused by the lightning strike on Golden Peak Mountain.
Soon, someone posted a photo of a young man with a buzz cut and wrote, "This humble monk is undergoing tribulation at Golden Peak Mountain!"
Old Chen saw it immediately and almost smashed the screen. Who posted this? They posted a photo of him during the Battle of Mu City, where he was radiant with golden light and a hint of Buddha's halo.
At first, the crowd cheered, but soon they remembered that now that extraordinary people had appeared, it was not impossible for myths to become reality.
Was that a naturally occurring thunderstorm? It was far too magnificent and terrifying!
Zhong Qing, Wang Xuan, and Chen Yongjie were all staring at the big screen, watching the thunderstorm outside Yucheng City, which was becoming increasingly astonishing.
"Aren't you regretting giving up the Heavenly Medicine like this?" Old Chen asked Wang Xuan.
Suddenly, the Zhong family's supercomputer emitted a piercing alarm; it had been hacked.
"Who did this? They're incredibly audacious!" Zhong Changming roared in fury.
However, the problem was resolved in a short time.
As for the secret vault, the Super Material was so dense that a pool of grayish liquid spilled out, making the place extremely quiet and devoid of any unusual activity.
"The items we just delivered have been intercepted!" someone reported, and some footage was sent back as feedback.
A small spaceship belonging to the Zhong family was originally intended to deliver silk threads and fishing hooks to Yucheng City, but it was infiltrated by a mysterious flying machine en route, which intercepted the extraordinary artifacts.
"This is outrageous! Where did this robot come from? It dares to rob our home spaceship!" Zhong Cheng slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
In Yucheng City, Huang Xinghai was stunned, then quickly told Huang Kun that the fishing hook that could penetrate the Higher Mental World had been stolen.
Huang Kun frowned and said, "It's alright. The person who made the move is definitely interested in the Heavenly Medicine. He will appear at Golden Peak Mountain soon."
Wang Xuan thought for a moment and asked Zhong Qing if they could rent a small to medium-sized warship.
Zhong Qing looked at him strangely. Her family naturally had all sorts of new ship hulls. What was this guy up to? He seemed to be keeping a low profile today.
"Old Wang, do you want to steal the Heavenly Medicine?" Zhong Cheng perked up, not afraid of making things worse.
Wang Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I'm only going to protect myself, but I don't want to use your Zhong family's warships. I prefer the kind that can't be traced."
Zhong Qing said, "It's very simple. Find the Gray Blood organization. They take on all sorts of jobs, such as assassinations and lending warships. If anything happens, it has nothing to do with you."
Outside Yucheng City, lightning flashed and thunder roared. The shadows, as vast as two continents, met, and a waterfall of electricity cascaded down, the astonishing lightning like the Milky Way falling straight down from the heavens.
Some mountains and great peaks actually fell from the sky. What a strange sight! Were they also lightning?
The New Star are causing a stir on various platforms. The shapes of these lightning bolts are unscientific and definitely have a problem.
"Everyone, that's not lightning, it seems to be... the celestial realm, a scene from another world illuminated by lightning."
"Look! Someone is undergoing tribulation!"
Countless people are now discussing it and watching the latest news on the platform.
"Have the beings behind the Great Curtain begun vying for the celestial medicine?"
The superhumans have arrived at the scene, revealing their presence and gazing at the dark sky.
"The Transcendent Immortals have made their move in the world behind the Great Curtain, attempting to enter the Higher Mental World to harvest celestial medicine!" a blurry figure exclaimed.
The Supernatural Practitioner in the shadows knew that time was running out, and even Transcendent Immortals was only a fleeting opportunity. Once missed, they would be forever barred from obtaining the celestial medicine.
The symbols in the eyes of Mech Number Five flashed wildly, ready to pierce the dark sky with a fishing hook at any moment.
