This Piece Is Called "Sinking Boat"

"Do whatever comes your way."

Lu Changzhi spoke with a smile.

Surprisingly, even the Iron-Armored Brown Ape became addicted to it.

Now they even save them the trouble of hunting, taking care of everything themselves.

Upon hearing Lu Changzhi's question, the Iron-Armored Brown Ape got up and walked outside.

For a moment, the ground rumbled and the trees and rocks shook.

A short while later, low growls and muffled thuds were heard.

The sound didn't last long before it subsided.

Then they saw the Iron-Armored Demonic Ape return carrying a large, muscular bull.

Xiao Ming opened his eyes and flashed to the unconscious bull.

He skillfully pecked open the bull's skull, extracted the spirit core, and ate it.

The rest was left to Luo Ling'er to handle.

Based on his experience over the past few days, Lu Changzhi discovered...

Preparing ingredients can also help Luo Ling'er develop some skill.

At this rate, it probably won't be long before her system level increases.

After a large meal.

The sky began to darken.

"It's time to go out."

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Changzhi summoned his External Avatar.

He used the aura of the Iron-Armored Brown Ape to envelop it, and then manipulated his External Avatar to rush outside.

The resources we acquired earlier should now be placed in suitable locations.

They drove off into the distance.

Now, there are signs that people have passed through this area.

We can only keep moving forward.

Thanks to the aura of the Iron-Armored Brown Ape, no demonic beasts or spirit beasts came to cause trouble.

The Heavenly Azure Ruins are very large.

There is more than one place with relatively dense spiritual energy.

Many other mythical beasts are also found in other places.

However, these spirit beasts had all been defeated by the Iron-Armored Brown Ape.

Only in this way can the spirit beasts here be subdued.

With the help of the system.

It was nearly midnight when Lu Changzhi discovered several sect elders.

They weren't particularly fast, but their search was clearly very thorough.

"Elders, you are truly dedicated."

With a sigh, Lu Changzhi walked in a huge circle before arriving before the elder.

"At this rate, we shouldn't have to wait long to find this place."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Changzhi simply put everything down.

The Formation-Breaking Disc, the Mind-Linking Killing Formation, and the Saint Rank spiritual herbs obtained earlier.

Having done all this, he controlled his External Avatar and decisively departed.

Not long after.

The elder's figure drew near.

Instantly, his attention was drawn to the aura of the spiritual herbs below.

"These... are all Saint Rank spiritual herbs?"

The elder was startled, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes the next moment.

"These medicinal herbs couldn't possibly grow together naturally."

With a muttered murmur, the elder, his expression wary, decisively called to the other elders.

Something unusual must be going on.

Not long after, several elders arrived.

After careful investigation and speculation.

An elder activated his technique, and a giant hand condensed in the void, grabbing the things on the ground.

"These things should all be Saint Rank. I wonder who could have done such a grand undertaking." An elder's expression shifted slightly.

As they spoke, a flash of light appeared, and all the items were stored in their storage ring.

"Take him back first and let the elders examine him to see if anything has been tampered with."

"Changzhi."

Xu Kun's voice echoed daily from within the communication stone.

"Now, the younger generations of various factions have arrived at the testing grounds and have begun hunting demonic beasts."

"Has it already started?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.

However, it was much slower than I had expected.

"Let them get busy first, we're not in a hurry to get involved," Lu Changzhi replied with a smile.

Hunting down monsters is only the first step.

There's still a lot to do.

Compared to joining the crowds, staying here is definitely more comfortable.

Heavenly Azure Ruins

Before the peak.

At the foot of the mountain stands a Nine-Story Tower.

Beyond the tower, a terrifying abyss lies, separating the mountain peak from the tower.

Above the abyss, there are nine long bridges connecting the two sides, called the Nine Azure Bridges.

Outside the Nine Azure Bridges, there were densely packed demonic beasts, surging like a tide.

Upon entering this place, the demonic beasts all seemed to be provoked, entering a berserk state, their eyes revealing a fierce glint.

"Kill!"

A teenager in the crowd shouted out.

Disciples from all sides fought fiercely against the ferocious beasts, leaving the ground littered with blood and the corpses of monsters.

Qin Jiuxiao stood amidst the crowd, surrounded by disciples of the Holy Land, who fought alongside the demonic beasts.

"As expected of a disciple of the Holy Land, they are indeed far beyond my capabilities."

Some disciples looked over, their eyes filled with envy.

The gap between the Holy Land and the various factions in the Eastern Region is almost astonishing.

The disciples from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land are all at least top- Supreme-Grade Heaven Rank, and Spirit Rank weapons are very common.

In contrast, in the Eastern Region, even the disciples of top-tier forces are mostly at the Heaven Rank.

The difference is self-evident.

Qin Jiuxiao stood among the crowd.

His gaze remained fixed on the distant mountain peaks from beginning to end.

As for the surrounding demonic beasts, they were not worth his attention.

"The speed is still a bit slow."

After a moment, Qin Jiuxiao murmured something and withdrew his gaze.

"The strength of the Eastern Region is no match for that of the Holy Land and the young master."

Beside her, Liu Qingyan spoke softly.

Qin Jiuxiao didn't speak, but judging from the slight upturn of his lips...

That's what I meant.

Very useful.

"Come, I'll teach you a song."

Qin Jiuxiao spoke, and a long zither appeared in front of him.

When his fingers touched the surface of the long zither, a precious light flowed around it, and its brilliance was revealed.

The aura of the Saint Rank zither was fully revealed.

"This piece is titled 'The Sinking Boat'."

As the sound faded, the piano melody began.

The sound of the zither was extremely penetrating, instantly enveloping the entire world.

Everyone was shaken to their core.

The music started slowly, but after a few breaths, it suddenly became high-pitched.

The younger generation present were instantly drawn into the world of music.

At that moment, the terrifying beast tide vanished.

The people in the Divine Qin Realm felt their blood boiling.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

There was no fear, no pain.

Highly motivated and fearless.

In an instant, numerous disciples from the Eastern Region unleashed astonishing combat power.

The pace of progress suddenly accelerated.

"That music!"

A disciple of the Mystic One Sect stood there, sword in hand, his expression furious.

The music, though seemingly passionate, was in fact incredibly domineering.

At one point, they tried to take control of his mind.

He wasn't the only one; many others noticed this and spoke out angrily.

The price of this rapid advance was the lives of their disciples.

However, their voices did not affect the music in the slightest.

"Using the zither to disturb the mind, this junior from the sacred land truly possesses remarkable skill in playing the zither."

In the void, an elder of the Five Symbols Sect spoke.

"Yes, even with the blessing of the Changqin, most people at this age cannot do it," another elder replied.

"My disciples of the Five Symbols Sect, do not let them be affected by the music."

"Don't worry, it's all protected."

"That's good. Also, have you identified which faction those people hiding in the shadows belong to?"

"I don't know, they're deliberately hiding it."

"Then let's keep waiting and see what their purpose is. As long as they don't threaten the younger generation of the sect, just keep a close eye on them."

The elders of the Five Symbols Sect were conversing.

On the field, the number of monsters is becoming increasingly scarce.

The ground was a scene of utter devastation.

At this moment, the people of Cloud Heaven Holy Land suddenly launched an astonishing offensive.

The horde of monsters ahead was instantly driven back, creating an opening.

At that moment, the music suddenly stopped.

Qin Jiuxiao took a step forward and his figure swept to the front of the bridge.
