Soon.
Zheng Fang stepped forward and explained that these phenomena had been caused by the Sect Master cultivating in seclusion, telling everyone there was no need to worry too much.
Only then did the commotion finally settle down.
If Qin Shujian was cultivating...
Then a few unusual phenomena were nothing to be surprised about.
The thunderous drumming continued for an entire day before gradually falling silent.
On the seventh day...
The sky changed dramatically, and crimson clouds spread across three thousand miles in broad daylight, drawing every eye.
On the eighth day...
The endless roar of surging waves filled the air.
On the ninth day...
An enormous phantom spanned the void, blotting out the sky and sun, its features impossible to discern.
An ancient aura seemed to awaken little by little before sweeping across heaven and earth.
By now...
These phenomena were no longer confined to the Origin Sect. Their presence could be faintly felt throughout the Liangshan Spirit Domain, and even in other regions.
Within the Endless Mountains...
Many demonic beasts fled in panic.
Their instinct for seeking fortune and avoiding danger seemed to warn them of a devastating catastrophe.
In the Bull Demon Cave on the Lion-Tiger Plains...
Niu Dali lay sprawled on his side, his entire bovine body looking utterly listless. "How much longer? It's been days already. Why isn't it over yet?"
He was truly exhausted.
Ever since the phenomena had appeared, he had gone several days without sleep.
Whenever that overwhelming pressure swept through...
It shook his mind so badly that he could not even calm down, let alone sleep.
For Niu Dali, who loved sleep more than life itself...
Being unable to sleep...
Was worse than being killed.
In Liangshan City...
A great number of powerful cultivators had already arrived through the Teleportation Gate.
