Night.

Dark clouds churned, obscuring the stars and moon.

Longhu Mountain, Carefree Residence.

Lu Yuan emerged from his wooden cabin and checked the time.

It was almost midnight, and the surroundings were pitch black.

Not much light could be seen.

However, this was nothing to Lu Yuan. His physique had undergone a transformation, and his strength far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Although he couldn't see things far away as clearly as during the day, it wasn't much different.

With just enough focus, he could even spot tiny ants and insects in the grass.

"Almost time."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, looking towards the location of the Wordless Stone Tablet.

Tonight, he would move it and put it in his car.

There was no helping it; Longhu Mountain had regulations, and many things were forbidden to be taken away. Although the Wordless Stone Tablet currently looked like just a stone, he still didn't want to take any risks or attract attention.

Immediately.

Lu Yuan walked to the stone tablet.

This Wordless Stone Tablet was about knee-high, with an extremely smooth surface.

He estimated it weighed at least three to four hundred pounds. An ordinary person definitely couldn't lift it.

But in his hands, he lifted it with ease, using only one hand, without feeling much weight.

Next, he had to transport it down the mountain.

There's an old saying: it's easy to go up the mountain but hard to come down, especially when carrying several hundred pounds. Even several strong men would need to tread carefully along the mountain path, or they could easily get into trouble.

However, given Lu Yuan's personality, he obviously wouldn't take the usual route.

"It's time for this physique of mine to show its worth."

Lu Yuan smiled, found a few vines, tied the stone tablet to himself, and observed his surroundings.

Then, without any hesitation, he bent his knees and leaped high into the air, jumping off a rock.

The spot where he landed was at least tens of meters below, equivalent to the height of three or four stories.

An ordinary person jumping down would break their legs, if they survived. But Lu Yuan just jumped straight down.

BOOM!

Under the immense force.

The surface of the rock where he landed immediately cracked, on the verge of shattering.

But Lu Yuan didn't stop. He continued downwards, moving like a monkey across the rugged, treacherous terrain of Longhu Mountain.

Especially with thorns and weeds all around, it was an impossible feat for a human.

But in his eyes, none of it mattered.

Lu Yuan's skin was tough.

Even a blade would only leave a mark, let alone thorns?

In the darkness, under the hazy moonlight, a figure leaped continuously along the cliffs. Each landing kicked up clouds of dust, and the massive rocks beneath his feet exploded with a roar. This power surpassed human limits and was terrifying.

Just like that.

What would take an ordinary person over an hour to walk.

Lu Yuan traversed the cliffs by leaping and only took about ten minutes to reach the mountain entrance.

Ahead was the car he had parked during the day.

After placing the Wordless Stone Tablet in it.

He felt a little relieved. Tomorrow, he just needed to find an excuse to leave.

Then, Lu Yuan turned around, preparing to head back up the mountain.

But at that very moment, intense beams of light erupted from Longhu Mountain.

In an instant, myriad rays of light pierced the night, dyeing the clouds golden. The sky was filled with dazzling golden radiance, so bright that the area within a radius of several kilometers was transformed from night into day, as bright as sunlight.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, Lu Yuan's heart stirred.

He then looked closely and saw that all the light seemed to be emanating from the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Faintly, he could also see two colossal shadows appearing within the brilliant light, as if they could cover the sky.

It was a white tiger and a golden dragon, standing proudly in the void.

At the same time, there were faint roars.

Tiger Roar Dragon Cry!

For a moment, the birds on Longhu Mountain seemed startled and flapped their wings, trying to escape.

"Could it be... the anomaly is happening early?" Seeing such a phenomenon, Lu Yuan immediately began to speculate.

This phenomenon was astonishing, like something out of myth and legend.

It appeared right before his eyes.

But soon.

As he tried to investigate further, he found that the white tiger and golden dragon ascended to heaven at the same moment and disappeared. Simultaneously, all the light vanished, and everything calmed down as if nothing had happened.

"It's not an anomaly, but something big is definitely happening at the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself and, without further thought, began to climb the mountain.

Since there was no one around.

He let loose, covering dozens of meters in a single step.

He moved so fast that he returned to the Carefree Residence about twenty minutes later.

He then pretended to be nonchalant and lay down.

He knew.

Given what had happened, the Celestial Master's Mansion would surely react.

"Mount Tai and Jiuhua Mountain have also seen anomalies. As the Ancestral Court of Taoism, Longhu Mountain is naturally among them, just a little later. All of this is a prelude to the anomaly. When that day comes, everything will change, and a new era will begin."

Lying on the bed, Lu Yuan pondered. His experience from his previous life made him think of many things.

He also knew that besides that Wordless Stone Tablet.

Longhu Mountain possessed many divine objects and even powerful inheritances, which would allow it to stand firm in the new era and occupy an important position. If he could calm down and take his time, he would surely find many good things.

However, he didn't have that much time now, and even if he did, he didn't have many ways to find them.

The Celestial Master's Mansion was mysterious, like the Young Celestial Master Chunyang.

And True Person Yuyang, who seemed like an ordinary person despite being over ninety years old, possessed enduring stamina stronger than any young person. He was definitely not simple.

Not to mention the Old Celestial Master.

Therefore.

He had to act with extreme caution, at least until the anomaly arrived.

If he attracted attention, the trouble would be immense. Although he had surpassed ordinary people, he still couldn't withstand modern weaponry.

With these thoughts, Lu Yuan waited for time to pass.

Soon.

The next day arrived.

A young Taoist priest came and invited Lu Yuan to the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Manager Liu and others were also there, unsure of what was happening, but they had clearly noticed the anomaly last night. They inquired with the young Taoist priest beside them, but the results were unsatisfactory. The Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion remained tight-lipped about it.

Finally, True Person Yuyang arrived.

He first thanked Lu Yuan and the others for their donations, stating that the Celestial Master's Mansion would remember their kindness.

Then, he announced that starting today, Longhu Mountain would be officially closed to the public. All outsiders must leave the mountain as soon as possible.

This included those who had a Lay Disciple Dojo here. However, True Person Yuyang added that if conditions allowed in the future, the Celestial Master's Mansion would offer compensation, such as some form of protection.

This left Manager Liu and the others bewildered. Everyone present was a person of certain status and standing.

As long as they didn't engage in any illegal or immoral activities, what kind of protection would they need?

And even if they did.

Did the Celestial Master's Mansion have the capability?

So, these people had many questions. True Person Yuyang answered them earnestly, but when it came to the anomaly last night, he could only offer vague explanations, saying it was unclear.

Seeing this.

Lu Yuan knew that something major had happened on Longhu Mountain, related to the anomaly.

But they clearly didn't want to discuss it further, and there was no point in staying.

So, in the end.

Lu Yuan was the first to choose to leave.

The anomaly was about to descend, and his own pace should quicken.
