The plane flew through the clouds, and the sky outside the window was a clear blue.
Li Jun sat by the window, holding a cup of tea, watching the surging sea of clouds outside.
His seat was surrounded by empty spaces, except for Jin Hao.
It wasn't that no one was sitting there; rather, it was a special arrangement by the Night Watchman so as not to disturb him.
Even so, countless eyes still fell on him from time to time.
Those gazes held awe, curiosity, excitement, and nervousness.
Li Jun ignored it and simply looked out the window quietly.
His mind was extending outwards along the earth's veins.
Soon, his "vision" crossed the ocean and arrived in the New World.
Deep within the Rocky Mountains, eighty-seven powerful auras, like eighty-seven volcanoes, could erupt at any moment.
They lie dormant deep in the mountains, maintaining a delicate distance from one another.
Li Jun's mind continued to delve deeper.
He "saw" the true nature of those spirits.
There were giant snakes, giant bears, giant eagles, giant wolves, and giant bulls—
Various kinds, in different shapes.
But each one exudes a powerful aura.
Even the weakest among them are at the Celestial Immortal level.
The strongest of them have even reached the level of Xuanxian.
"That's interesting."
Li Jun murmured.
He did not disturb the natural spirits, but simply watched quietly.
"It's best—everyone's here."
"It saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one."
He snapped out of his reverie and continued looking out the window.
The clouds outside the window have dispersed, replaced by a vast blue ocean.
Li Jun picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
The tea has gone cold.
But he didn't care.
I just quietly looked out the window at the boundless ocean.
at the same time.
New World, headquarters of the Bureau of Paranormal Research.
Jason stood in front of the big screen, staring at the dense array of light spots, his face ashen.
Eighty-seven statues.
This number was more than he had expected.
Moreover, it's still increasing.
"Chief!"
The assistant's voice came from behind, tinged with urgency.
"News has come from the Great Xia that Master Li's private plane has taken off and is expected to arrive in ten hours."
-
Jason's pupils suddenly contracted.
"real?!"
His voice was filled with disbelief.
The assistant nodded emphatically.
"real!"
Jason took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
But his hands were trembling.
Master Li is coming.
The being who single-handedly annihilated 100,000 gods is coming to the New World.
"Inform the President."
Jason's voice was hoarse but firm.
"At the same time, notify all departments to make preparations for receiving the guests."
"Specifications, raised to the highest level."
The assistant took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.
"yes!"
He turned around and walked out quickly.
Jason stood still, looking at the dots of light on the big screen.
A smile finally appeared on his face.
Ten hours later.
The Night Watchmen's private plane landed at KND International Airport in the New World.
The sunlight was perfect outside the porthole.
On the tarmac, a row of black cars stretched from the gangway all the way to the airport exit, numbering at least forty or fifty.
The car was surrounded by security personnel in black suits, with earpieces in their ears, watching their surroundings warily.
The leader was a burly Black man in a black uniform, with a resolute face and sharp eyes.
It was James Jensen, the director of the Bureau of Paranormal Research.
-
He stood beside the gangway, looking up at the slowly descending plane, took a deep breath, and tried to appear calm.
But his hands were trembling slightly.
"Chief."
The assistant stood beside him, speaking in a low voice.
"Are you alright?"
"fine."
Jason clenched his fist to suppress the trembling.
"I'm just a little nervous."
The assistant opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just nodded.
He was nervous too.
After all, that's Master Li.
A being who slayed 100,000 gods.
The existence of a sword stuck on the summit of Mount Olympus.
Throughout the entire transcendent realm of Earth, the mere mention of this name sends shivers down everyone's spine.
The plane came to a stop.
The gangway vehicle approached and docked with the cabin door.
The hatch opened.
A young Taoist priest dressed in a plain-colored robe stepped out of the cabin.
He stood on the gangway, the sunlight falling on him, turning his plain Taoist robe a pale gold.
Jason stared at the figure, his pupils contracting slightly.
This was not the first time he had seen Li Jun in person.
But at this moment, it felt completely different from before.
It was a feeling that couldn't be described in words.
The other person seemed very ordinary, with nothing special about them.
But for some reason, Jason had an urge to kneel down.
It's not fear.
It is reverence.
Awe from the depths of the soul.
Li Jun walked down the gangway.
Jason rushed forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and tried his best to keep his voice from trembling.
"Master Li, welcome to the new world."
Li Jun glanced at him and nodded.
"Director Jason, it's been a long time."
Jason was visibly shaken, almost bursting into tears of emotion.
"Taoist Master—please."
He stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.
Li Jun didn't stand on ceremony and strode towards the row of black cars.
Jin Hao followed behind, looking around curiously, finding everything new and interesting.
"This is the new continent, huh? The air isn't that great either."
He muttered something under his breath.
Jason's lips twitched, but he pretended not to hear.
The convoy left the airport and headed towards the city along the highway.
The car was quiet.
Li Jun leaned back in his chair, looking at the scenery outside the window.
The cities of the New World are very different from those of Great Xia.
The buildings are taller and the streets are wider, but they still give people a cold feeling.
"Master Daoist."
Jason sat in the passenger seat and spoke cautiously.
"We have arranged accommodation for you in the best hotel in the city. If you are not satisfied, we can—"
"Need not."
-
Li Jun interrupted him.
"Go straight to the Rocky Mountains."
Jason was taken aback.
"Master, why don't you rest for a while?"
"Need not."
Li Jun's voice was calm.
"The sooner you go, the better."
Jason opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
The Rocky Mountains.
There, eighty-seven natural spirits gathered.
The strongest of them are comparable in energy level to that of the angel from the Church of Holy Light.
He originally thought that Master Li would at least rest for one night before discussing the action plan.
Unexpectedly, this Taoist priest went straight there after getting off the plane.
This caught him somewhat off guard.
"Master Daoist."
Jason hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"The natural spirits in the Rocky Mountains are numerous and very powerful."
"Would you like to—find out the situation first?"
"Need not."
Li Jun remained calm.
"There's not much to know."
"Once we meet, we'll know what to do."
Jason was speechless.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but looking at Li Jun's calm face, he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
The New World, deep in the Rocky Mountains.
In the nameless valley, dozens of enormous figures were suspended in mid-air, radiating various colors of light.
Their auras converged, forming an overwhelming pressure that caused the trees around the valley to bend over and the rocks to tremble slightly.
At the very front, the three largest natural spirits stand suspended in a triangular formation.
On the far left is a giant emerald green snake, over a hundred feet long, with a faint glow flowing across its scales.
In the center was a giant wolf, pure white, with a shoulder height of over fifty feet and limbs as thick as pillars supporting the sky.
On the right is a being that is half human and half beast. Its upper body is that of a burly middle-aged man with ancient totem patterns covering his bare chest, while its lower body is that of a bear covered in black fur.
After these three, there are even more natural spirits.
A giant crocodile covered in black scales lay on the edge of the valley, like a small mountain, exhaling sulfurous smoke with every breath.
There was a giant fox with three colorful tails, its narrow eyes gleaming with cunning.
There was a humanoid creature covered in dark red magma, standing there like a volcano about to erupt, the surrounding air distorted by the intense heat.
There were also giant creatures formed entirely of condensed water, thunderbirds with wingspans capable of obscuring half the sky, and giant turtles covered in golden moss—
The number has exceeded ninety.
Their combined auras transformed this valley into a forbidden land that even ordinary immortals dared not approach.
"Gentlemen."
The white wolf spoke first, his voice deep and resonant, echoing through the valley.
"As of just now, six more companions have responded to the call."
The giant emerald green snake flicked its tongue, a hint of satisfaction flashing in its vertical pupils.
"Very good. Including them, we now have ninety-nine companions, enough to make any being dare not underestimate us."
"That angel is right, we do need to unite."
"Hmph! That angel is no good."
A low hiss came from the side.
The giant crocodile, its body covered in black scales, raised its head, its yellowish-brown eyes flashing with a cold light.
"He revealed those messages to us simply so that he could use us to deal with the one from Great Xia."
"We are nothing more than pawns in His hands."
After these words were spoken, the valley fell into a brief silence.
None of those who have become natural spirits and are still alive today are fools.
They certainly knew that Uriel harbored ill intentions.
The other side suppressed giant snakes, bears, and eagles outside the Rocky Mountains, and deliberately revealed to them that the Great Xia ley lines were devouring the New World, clearly intending to use them as cannon fodder.
"So what if I know?"
A sharp sound rang out.
The three-tailed fox flicked its tail, a hint of helplessness flashing in its narrow eyes.
"The earth veins of the Great Xia are indeed expanding eastward. We can all feel it. Every second, the earth veins beneath our feet are flowing away."
"That angel had ill intentions, but what He said was true."
Another silence followed.
All the spirits of nature could sense that a force from the west was slowly spreading deep within the earth beneath their feet.
That power was as vast as the sea and as heavy as a mountain.
Wherever it went, the ley lines of the New World were continuously assimilated and devoured.
Like a giant dragon, it is swallowing their very foundations, bite by bite.
"so."
The giant emerald green snake raised its head, a resolute glint flashing in its vertical pupils.
"We had no choice."
"As the Great Xia's earth veins continue to expand eastward, we will eventually be swallowed up, assimilated, and completely disappear."
It looked around, its voice growing even colder.
"Instead of waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative."
"At least, we still have leverage in negotiations."
"Negotiation?" The crocodile sneered. "What makes you think that the one from Great Xia would negotiate with us?"
"By the ninety-three nature spirits we have gathered here!"
The giant emerald green snake looked at it coldly.
"Because we've lived from before the end times until now!"
"Although the one from Great Xia is strong, he is ultimately just one person."
"Moreover, he left Great Xia and came to the New World."
"His strength will definitely be greatly reduced here."
It paused, then continued.
"We don't need to defeat him, we just need to let him know that if he wants to continue expanding eastward, he will have to pay a heavy price."
"At that point, he will naturally be willing to sit down and talk."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest flashed in the eyes of all the natural spirits present.
Yes.
With ninety-three natural spirits, why should they fear one person?
Even if the opponent is someone who has annihilated 100,000 gods, those cherry blossom gods are nothing more than a group of madmen who forcibly restored part of their strength through blood sacrifice and whose sanity was weakened by their own madness.
They are not on the same level as these ancient beings that have awakened from their slumber.
"Then it's settled."
White Wolf finally spoke, his voice still calm, but a hint of determination flashed in his icy blue eyes.
"Let's join forces and negotiate with that person."
Just then, the thunderbird suddenly let out a sharp, long cry.
Something's not right!
All the nature spirits turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the direction beyond the Rocky Mountains.
There, a faint energy fluctuation could be heard.
The fluctuation was very subtle and faint; it was impossible to detect unless one was consciously trying to perceive it.
But the expressions on the faces of all the natural spirits present changed at that moment.
Because they could sense that the fluctuation was moving towards the Rocky Mountains at a moderate pace.
and----
That fluctuation contained an aura that made even their very souls tremble.
"It's him—"
The voice of the giant emerald green snake trembled slightly.
"That one from Great Xia—has arrived—"
The valley fell into utter silence.
All the natural spirits froze in place.
All the confidence, determination, and fighting spirit I had just felt vanished in an instant.
All that's left is fear.
Because of that aura, though very faint and light, it gave them an extremely eerie feeling—
It was as if more than one person had come.
Rather, it was the entire land of the Great Xia Dynasty pressing down on them.
at the same time.
Deep within the estate where the Holy Light Church delegation was staying, in a council chamber shrouded in layers of holy light.
-
Uriel stood by the window, looking towards the Rocky Mountains, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
Sunlight streamed through the stained glass, casting a hazy glow on his exceptionally handsome face.
"Ninety-three statues."
He murmured, his voice so soft that only he himself could hear it.
"Not bad, very good."
This lineup is enough to cause trouble for that annoying mortal.
Even he himself had absolutely no chance of winning against the combined attack of ninety-three natural spirits.
Although Li Jun is strong, now that he has left Great Xia, his connection with Great Xia's earth veins has weakened, and his strength will inevitably be greatly reduced.
In this situation, facing ninety-three natural spirits—
He wanted to see if that mortal could continue to be so arrogant.
"messenger!"
Just then, the door to the council chamber was suddenly pushed open.
Alberto rushed in, his face filled with urgency.
