Han Xiangzi's Astonishing Search for the Immortal Herb's Source

"That's right! We have to get out of here!"

A powerful aura surged forth from Ao Changsheng once again.

"Not good!"

"Oh no, my body seems to be unable to take it!"

"How... how is this possible?"

"Run! This Ao Changsheng is terrifyingly strong!"

When these people saw Ao Changsheng rushing towards them, they were so frightened that they almost lost their souls. They immediately used their respective Divine Ability and their figures quickly flew away into the distance.

"Hahaha, try to escape? You think you can get away?"

Seeing the group's reaction, Ao Changsheng burst into laughter and then chased after them.

In an instant, the continent was thrown into chaos, with everyone fleeing in all directions. Ao Changsheng's strength was too great; they simply couldn't resist him. Moreover, these guys' ability to escape was far too poor; they couldn't outrun Ao Changsheng at all, which left them feeling quite helpless.

"This is just a reminder: the Great Dao is supreme, and Heaven is the most honorable; no one can change that." Ao Changsheng coldly left these words behind before taking Tieguai Li and departing from the Heavenly Palace.

"Boom!"

Just then, a sudden, deafening clap of thunder rang out, a sound so loud it sent shivers down one's spine.

Everyone turned their heads in unison to look up at the sky.

The dark clouds in the sky grew thicker and denser, as if they were about to crush everything. Within the clouds, streaks of lightning flashed and crackled, leaping and striking the sky repeatedly.

These crimson lightning bolts resembled thunder serpents, constantly leaping and tracing arcs across the sky before crashing down into the sea below.

"Boom!"

Bolts of lightning slammed into the sea, instantly creating wave after wave of giant waves.

Those streaks of lightning were like bolts of lightning, each bolt like a sharp sword, slashing fiercely at the sea surface, stirring up endless waves. In the blink of an eye, the layers of seawater were split into water vapor, rising into the air, and then blown away and disappeared without a trace.

"Boom!"

Bolts of lightning continued to strike, crashing heavily onto the sea, creating an even more terrifying roar, and the giant waves surged even more violently.

Streaks of lightning and towering waves, like Jiaolong, surged across the sea, sweeping outwards in all directions.

Streams of water shot into the sky, tearing a huge hole in the dark clouds and revealing the white moon.

"Oh no! This Ao Changsheng is going to kill us all! What should we do?"

"Yes! What should we do? Are we really going to die here?"

"Ah!"

Meanwhile, Tieguai Li was brought back to the dojo by Ao Changsheng, and he became much more silent.

"Dao Ancestor, what exactly is the true path?"

This was the second time he had asked Ao Changsheng this question.

Ao Changsheng sighed softly. There were still some days before the two immortals discussed Daoism at Mount Hua, and Tieguai Li's fortuitous opportunity had not yet arrived.

"In the Primordial World the Unseen, everything is preordained. Go to Mount Hua, and you will surely encounter your destined fortuitous opportunity."

After he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Ao Changsheng's mind again.

"Great Tribulation of the Eastern Journey, he chose to go into seclusion and obtained the power of the Eight Immortals."

"Emerging from seclusion, losing the system, and becoming the sole leader of the Dragon Race."

Even an idiot would know that; he'd definitely go into seclusion!

"Dao Ancestor, this disciple takes his leave!"

Tieguai Li bowed and took his leave.

Ao Changsheng did not speak again, but simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Tieguai Li turned and left, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Ao Changsheng: "Dao Ancestor, I want to know who those two people are? Are they closely related to you? Did they cultivate with you? Did they jointly govern the Six Paths of Reincarnation with you?"

Ao Changsheng was taken aback, not expecting Tieguai Li to ask such a question. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, Tieguai Li, how could you ask such a foolish question? One of those two is Yuding True Person, a disciple of the Grand Pure One Sage, and the other is Long-Armed Gibbon, the third-generation chief disciple of the Chan Sect under the Cult Master Tongtian Sect Master. Both of them are from the Heavenly Court. As for their close relationship with me? That goes without saying. I have an excellent relationship with Brother Yuding and Brother Tongbi."

Upon hearing this, Tieguai Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although these two were not people from the Daoist Sect he knew, they were on good terms with his master's disciples. His master had also told him that the two were his benefactors.

Since they are Master's disciples, I don't need to worry about those two competing with me for merit or trying to harm me!

Tieguai Li thought to himself.

Ao Changsheng, however, looked at him with a smile, having already guessed Tieguai Li's thoughts.

"Haha, Tieguai Li, you're really too funny. I think you should go find your own fortuitous opportunity first, and complete your merits. Once you've completed your merits, then come find those two kids. They won't compete with you for merits."

Ao Changsheng said this.

Tieguai Li had no doubts, but he secretly remembered the words, then turned and left, disappearing into the horizon.

"This Tieguai Li is quite interesting!"

Ao Changsheng murmured to himself as he watched his retreating figure.

Meanwhile, Han Xiangzi was already on land in the middle of the East Sea, admiring the wonders of the underwater world.

The ocean is home to all sorts of fish, water monsters, Demon Beast, Devil Creature, and Demon Race —things Han Xiangzi had never seen before.

The underwater world is filled with all kinds of seaweed, corals and other plants, and many of the corals are even more beautiful than the underwater corals in Dragon Pearl.

"As expected of the underwater world, these things are absolutely gorgeous!"

Han Xiangzi observed the underwater scenery while admiring the coral trees.

"Huh, what's this?"

Suddenly, Han Xiangzi exclaimed in surprise.

Among the seaweed, a small plant was quietly sprouting and growing rapidly, seemingly destined to become a towering tree.

"It looks like a medicinal herb!"

Han Xiangzi observed carefully and indeed found something unusual.

"That's not right!" Han Xiangzi frowned.

"This herb is extraordinary; it's a Law Treasure!"

As he spoke, Han Xiangzi slowly reached out and grabbed the small blade of grass.

"Huh? This little grass is actually a living grass! What is this thing?" Han Xiangzi's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Could it be...?"

Han Xiangzi's eyes widened suddenly, she was momentarily dazed, then suddenly snapped back to reality, "Could it be that the herb has taken human form and developed sentience?"

Holding the blade of grass in his hand, feeling its vibrant life force, he closed his eyes to sense the powerful spiritual energy emanating from it, and said, "It seems my guess was right. This blade of grass has indeed taken human form, gaining not only intelligence but also a trace of Divine Ability. However, I still need to observe it further to see what kind of plant it is!"
