Chapter 27: The Dark Side of Heavenly Dao, Lin Xiuqi''s Family Head''s Orders
"Ran''er, don''t worry, take your time and exin," Lin Xiuqi looked at Lin Ran with a concerned expression.
Lin Ran nodded and said, "Father, Grand Ancestor said that this ck rain is not right. He wants you to immediately activate the mountain-guarding array and prevent this ck rain from entering."
Hearing this, Lin Xiuqi''s expression changed slightly.
"Indeed, why didn''t we think of this? Family Head Lin, quick, activate the mountain-guarding array. It might make Azure Heaven Mountain safer."
Inside the grand hall, everyone reacted after hearing this, shaking off their initial panic.
Buzz!
Lin Xiuqi''s hand emitted a brilliant light, and in the next moment, a massive blue light barrier enveloped the entire Azure Heaven Mountain,pletely isting the ck rain from falling.
"Notify Jinshan near the market. Open the array," Lin Shanhai instructed one of the Lin family members behind him.
Once everything was in ce, silence fell inside the grand hall. It was everyone''s first time encountering a Heavenly Dao Tribtion, and no one dared to act recklessly. If they left the protection of the array, their safety would be uncertain.
As for the Lin family''s Grand Ancestor, everyone present understood that he was merely a Second Rank Mystical Python. The Lin family had initially gained fame due to the Mystical Python, but in the Foundation Establishment initial stage, nobody had taken it too seriously.
"Daoist Zhuge, do you know the origin of this Heavenly Dao Tribtion?" Lin Shanhai suddenly turned to Zhuge Wuyi for answers.
Zhuge Wuyi fell silent for a moment and then responded, "I''m not entirely sure about the specifics, but I''ve seen a spection in an ancient text. All things in the world have yin and yang, and the Heavenly Dao is no exception. However, the Heavenly Dao, being impartial, doesn''t allow for any darkness within it.
"Periodically, the Heavenly Dao will release its internal dark energy, and these energies are what we call Heavenly Dao Tribtions. This is why, when a Heavenly Dao Tribtion arrives, spiritual energy disappears, and thews are not evident.
"Of course, Heavenly Dao Tribtions are not without benefits. It''s said that those who sessfully pass through a Heavenly Dao Tribtion will experience rapid growth in their cultivation in a short period. Their innate talent and understanding will also improve.
"Especially in the area where the Heavenly Dao Tribtion urred, after the Tribtion dissipates, the region experiences a tenfold increase in spiritual energy and the manifestation of thews. It truly bes a cultivation paradise."
Zhuge Wuyi finished speaking and added, "Of course, this is under the premise that the Heavenly Dao Tribtion is sessfully resolved."
"This Senior Zhuge, can''t all of us Foundation Establishment seniors here join forces to see if we can leave Renhuai County?" A Foundation Establishment cultivator inside the grand hall raised a doubt.
Zhuge Wuyi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "If it were that easy, it wouldn''t be called a Heavenly Dao Tribtion. Even the smallest scale of Heavenly Dao Tribtion corresponds to the realm of a Golden Core cultivator. If we forcibly break through, it''s no different from seeking death.
"Moreover, the dark energies of the Heavenly Dao are incredibly troublesome. Even Golden Core cultivators typically avoid getting too involved with them."
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Just as Zhuge Wuyi finished speaking, three deafening booms echoed from the sky.
The crowd''s expressions changed slightly, and they quickly stepped out of the grand hall to look outside. The ck rain had stopped!
However, countless dark energies were rising from every inch of Renhuai County''snd. Thanks to the activation of the mountain-guarding array on Azure Heaven Mountain, the concentration of ck energy was noticeably reduced.
Buzz!
In the sky, ck energy quickly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, humanoid creatures covered in ck scales stood on the ground. Their bodies were covered in ck scales, and their red eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, surrounded by a faint ck aura. Each creature varied in size, with most standing around two meters tall.
Bang!
Lin Xiuqi struck out casually, and one of the ck-scaled humanoid creatures outside the grand hall burst into pieces.
Lin Xiuqi sensed for a moment and said with a somewhat troubled expression, "Qi Condensation Fifth Layer."
In terms of cultivation levels, this was low for everyone present. They were easily capable of killing hundreds of beings of this level with a single strike. However, no one could find any joy in the situation because a single nce outside revealed that Renhuai County''snd was densely filled with these ck-scaled creatures.
Two meters was merely their lowest tier, with three meters and four meters being far from umon. asionally, even hundred-meter-tall ck-scaled creatures could be spotted in the midst of forming. At a nce, there were probably over a hundred of them covering the entire territory of Renhuai County.
The moment everyoneid eyes on such beings, they understood immediately: Foundation Establishment!
Foundation Establishment level ck-scaled creatures. In just an instant, a sense of despair began to pervade the hearts of everyone present. How could they possibly contend with over a hundred Foundation Establishment Realm monsters formed from the dark energies of the Heavenly Dao?
Escape was not even an option.
"Lin Family cultivators, heed mymand!" Suddenly, Lin Xiuqi stepped out, standing in the sky above Azure Heaven Mountain, his expression solemn.
"From this moment on, with the utmost speed, we will eliminate all the monsters within Azure Heaven Mountain. Then, together, we shall break through the barrier and protect Renhuai County. I, of the Lin Family, am the ruler of Renhuai County and must bear the responsibility of guarding thisnd. The hundreds of thousands of human beings in Renhuai County need the protection of my Lin Family!"
Lin Xiuqi''s resolute voice resonated across the entire Renhuai County through Foundation Establishment magic. At this moment, countless ordinary people, who were enduring ughter, seemed to have glimpsed hope. They looked up at Azure Heaven Mountain with excited faces.
