The outskirts of the Rocky Mountains.
A winding dirt road stretches out from the end of the highway and disappears into a dense coniferous forest.
At the edge of the woods, several black cars were parked, their New World Paranormal Research Bureau badges gleaming coldly in the setting sun.
Jason got out of the passenger seat, looked up at the rolling mountains in front of him, his palms sweaty.
Behind him, several fully armed superhumans also got out of the car and nervously watched the mountains ahead.
The air was quiet, so quiet it was unsettling.
There were no birdsong, no insect chirps, and even the wind seemed to have its throat blocked by something, only emitting suppressed sobs.
"Master, we are already on the outskirts of the Rocky Mountains."
Jansen walked over to Li Jun, his voice a little dry.
"The road ahead is impassable for cars."
Li Jun nodded without saying anything.
Jansen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then said, "Taoist Master, I'll go in with you."
Li Jun glanced at him.
His gaze was calm, but Jason felt as if something had seen right through him, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"No need."
Li Jun shook his head.
"You wait here."
"But, Master—" Jansen wanted to say something more.
"No buts," Li Jun interrupted him. "You'll only get in the way if you go in."
Jason was silent for a moment, then lowered his head.
"Yes."
Li Jun turned around and looked at the gravel road leading into the depths of the mountains.
The road was narrow, with dense coniferous forests on both sides. In the twilight, the outlines of the trees were blurred, like rows of silent soldiers.
Without hesitation, he stepped out.
The pace was neither too fast nor too slow.
With each step, the earth trembled slightly.
The tremor was so slight that Jason and the other superhumans could barely feel it.
But deep within the mountains, the dormant spirits of nature simultaneously opened their eyes.
Jin Hao stood by the car, watching Li Jun's figure grow smaller and smaller, and couldn't help but take two steps after him.
"Taoist priest! Watch out!"
He shouted.
Li Jun didn't turn around, he just waved his hand.
Jin Hao stopped and stood there, watching the tall figure disappear into the twilight.
the other side.
In the nameless valley, ninety-three natural spirits floated in mid-air, radiating various colors of light, illuminating the entire valley as if it were daytime.
"They're here."
The emerald serpent suddenly let out a sharp hiss, and all the nature spirits turned their heads at the same time, looking towards the direction beyond the Rocky Mountains.
There, a figure is walking on the horizon.
It's very far.
But every natural spirit can see it clearly.
He was a young Taoist priest, dressed in a plain-colored robe, walking at a leisurely pace, as if strolling in the mountains behind his home.
With each step he took, the earth trembled slightly.
The giant emerald green snake hovered in mid-air, its vertical pupils fixed on the figure.
Above its head, the Holy Flame Sword trembled slightly, and the golden flames on its blade were even more intense than before.
"Don't panic."
The white wolf spoke, his voice low and steady.
"Proceed according to plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white wolf raised its head and let out a long howl.
The whistling sound pierced the clouds and echoed through the mountains.
The next second, all the natural spirits simultaneously released their auras.
Ninety-three powerful auras converged, forming an overwhelming pressure that spread in all directions.
Wherever it passed, rocks crumbled, trees broke, and the clouds in the sky were completely dispersed.
The oppressive aura continued forward, meeting the approaching figure.
Then----
Disappeared.
Just like waves crashing against rocks, the rocks remain unmoved, while the waves are shattered to pieces.
The figure continued walking without pausing.
He didn't even look up in this direction.
They just walked at a leisurely pace.
With each step, the sense of oppression grew stronger.
The white wolf's pupils suddenly contracted.
"This is impossible—"
It murmured.
The oppressive aura of the ninety-three natural spirits is something even a Golden Immortal descending to earth could not completely ignore.
But this mortal actually—
"He is drawing upon the power of the earth."
The voice of the giant emerald green snake came from the side, trembling slightly.
"Every step he took resonated with the earth's veins of the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Although he is no longer in Great Xia, his connection with the Great Xia's ley lines has not weakened much at all."
As they spoke, the giant emerald snake stared intently at the approaching figure.
It can sense it.
A wave emanating from the depths of the earth grew stronger and clearer.
It's like an ancient behemoth is awakening underground.
And that Taoist priest was the incarnation of that giant beast.
at the same time.
On a mountain peak on the edge of the Rocky Mountains, Uriel was hiding in the shadows.
He could see the figure moving forward and feel the fluctuations coming from the depths of the earth.
"Even stronger than I expected—"
Uriel murmured, his voice carrying a hint of apprehension that even Lianxiu himself was unwilling to admit.
He originally thought that Li Jun's strength would at least be halved after leaving Great Xia.
But now it seems—
He was wrong.
This mortal's connection to the earth's veins was far closer than He imagined.
It's not about dependence, it's not about borrowing.
Instead—
Fusion.
He is like the embodiment of the earth's veins in the Great Xia.
Wherever it goes, the earth veins of the Great Xia extend there.
"fortunately----"
Uriel took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and muttered to himself.
"Fortunately, I had made two preparations."
Xiu turned her head and looked eastward.
That's the direction of the major pantheons.
"Come quickly—"
He murmured.
"Otherwise, those nature spirits won't last long."
Outside the valley.
Li Jun finally stopped.
He stood at the entrance of the valley and looked up at the natural spirits floating in mid-air.
-
Ninety-three statues, each with a different form.
Some are as large as mountains, some as agile as the wind, some as ferocious as demons, and some as beautiful as immortals.
But they have one thing in common—
At this moment, everyone is watching him.
In his eyes, there was wariness, apprehension, fear, and also a deeply hidden murderous intent.
Li Jun looked around, taking in all those faces.
Then he spoke.
"This humble Taoist priest is Mr. Li."
The sound wasn't loud, but every natural spirit present could hear it clearly.
"I've come here today for only one thing."
He paused.
"The Great Xia's geological veins must continue to extend eastward."
"You all, either retreat, or—"
He didn't finish speaking.
But all the spirits of nature understood his meaning.
Either retreat or die.
The valley was deathly silent.
All the spirits of nature fell silent.
They had anticipated this situation.
But when faced with this choice, they realized they were not prepared at all.
retreat?
Where should we retreat to?
This continent is their foundation.
If they retreat to other places and lose the nourishment of the earth's veins, they will also slowly weaken and eventually disappear.
"Master Li."
White Wolf spoke first, his voice low and deep.
"We know why you've come."
"but----"
It paused, a resolute glint in its eyes.
"This continent is our home."
"We cannot retreat, and we will not retreat."
Li Jun looked at the white wolf, his expression remaining calm.
"So there's no room for negotiation?"
The white wolf remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"There's nothing to discuss."
Li Jun nodded.
He wasn't angry, he wasn't furious, and he didn't even have any extra expression.
He simply said one sentence —
"Then let's fight."
The words fell.
He took a step forward.
