Eastern Province.
Above the firmament.
A streak of golden light dashed through the sky.
Upon closer inspection, one could see.
It was Chu Yuan.
At this moment, Chu Yuan was moving with extreme caution.
In his hand, he held a pot carrying something precious—it was the Zisu plant.
After some thought.
Chu Yuan decided to use a pot to uproot the Zisu with its soil and carry it away.
Thus the current scene unfolded.
Chu Yuan flew swiftly but always mindful of the Zisu, which greatly slowed him down.
However, Chu Yuan had also learned to protect the Zisu with his Invincible State, lest the plant be ravaged by the wind.
"How much farther?"
Chu Yuan glanced around, made a rough estimate, and knew he should not be far from the Wayless Sect.
Realizing he was not far from the Wayless Sect,
Chu Yuan silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He would be there soon.
He would soon be back at his Wayless Sect.
Once back at the Wayless Sect, he could rest easy about the Zisu.
Then he could truly prepare for the task of transforming the Zisu into human form.
A plan was forming in the depths of Chu Yuan’s mind.
He had a bold idea.
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
Before he could voice his audacious thought,
a strange wind burst forth suddenly.
Yes, in Chu Yuan’s eyes, a strange wind was blowing towards him.
This wind was oddly malevolent, as if it targeted Chu Yuan specifically, flapping against his face, trying to block his path.
With Chu Yuan’s divided attention affecting his speed, the strange wind actually managed to halt him completely.
"What is this thing?"
Chu Yuan frowned slightly, sensing the terrifying nature of the strange wind around him.
Then he looked down at the Zisu in his palm.
He was somewhat annoyed.
If the Zisu were to be hit by this strange gust,
he would be fine.
But the Zisu would likely be doomed.
Chu Yuan was well aware of how fragile the Zisu was.
A mere gust might knock it over.
Blown by a wind of this magnitude,
the Zisu would be left with nothing.
This wind...
Was too much...
Feeling the violent strange wind around him, a hint of anger rose within Chu Yuan.
Extending one hand, he condensed a Golden Halo, its terrifying power scattering the weird wind immediately.
"Begone," Chu Yuan roared as he hurled the Golden Halo.
Boom…
The Golden Halo was thrown.
Heaven and earth seemed to tremble briefly.
A natural force of the world seemed to accompany the Golden Halo, and upon its release, it was as if heaven and earth were oppressing everything. To oppose the Halo was to defy the heavens and the earth.
The surrounding strange winds were instantly torn asunder by the Halo.
A path was cut straight through.
Chu Yuan, looking at nothing else, leapt forward and continued toward the Wayless Sect.
As he proceeded, he felt a sensation and turned his head to glance at the area where the strange wind had been.
Just now, he seemed...
to have heard a voice amidst the strange wind.
What was that sound?
Chu Yuan inclined his head, straining to hear more clearly.
But no matter how intently he listened, he could discern nothing.
Had he heard wrong?
```
Chu Yuan furrowed his brows.
Forget it.
Sending Zisu back to the Sect is of utmost importance.
Chu Yuan shook his head, stopped overthinking, and continued flying towards the direction of the Wayless Sect.
…
In the midst of the strange winds,
four figures were staring wide-eyed at the space above their heads.
Above them, a Golden Halo hung high like a scorching sun.
The Golden Halo did not slash at them,
but the light it emitted formed a kind of suppression over them.
Even Taotie, who was a bit closer, was directly pressed to the ground, unable to move, and could only let out a mournful cry.
As the Golden Halo tore through the strange winds and departed, the terrifying atmosphere lingered for nearly the time it takes to brew a pot of tea before it finally began to dissipate slightly.
It was only after some of the atmosphere had dissipated that Hundun and the other three managed to barely move.
The suppressive force disappeared,
and all four felt a lightness in body and spirit.
It was as if a massive mountain they were carrying on their backs had suddenly been lifted.
"Huff..."
Hundun took a deep breath, staring bewilderedly at the receding figure of Chu Yuan.
After looking for a long time, he finally turned his head towards the disheveled Taotie.
"Taotie, you... are you certain that person is the target we were looking for?"
Hundun simply couldn’t imagine.
Such a powerful being.
It was actually the one they were meant to confront...
With such presence, if he really decided to make a move against them, he would probably simply raise his hand and squash them to death.
The shock from the Golden Halo just now was too great.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Could such a being truly exist in this new era?
The other two, upon hearing Hundun’s question, also looked towards Taotie.
Clearly, they too wanted to know the answer.
"Yes, yes, that person is the Great Human Expert I learned of from the information within the Heavenly Dao; these are the impressions of all beings, they can’t be wrong..."
Taotie swallowed his saliva, also feeling incredulous.
"Can such a being really appear in this era?"
Qiongqi’s eyes hadn’t narrowed at all.
"Impossible, it absolutely cannot be an existence from this era..."
Taowu outright rejected the idea.
He would never believe that someone as ’powerful’ as Chu Yuan could come from this new era.
If this new era could give birth to such individuals, then Taowu would eat... eat the other three on the spot.
"I also don’t believe this is an existence from the new era."
Hundun also shook his head in denial, he didn’t believe it either.
"But from which era could such a powerful existence come, able to make us feel a crisis of life and death with just a single attack?"
Qiongqi asked.
With that question,
the other three fell silent.
Clearly, they didn’t know either.
At this moment, the atmosphere became frozen.
The ferocity of the Four Great Beasts vanished without a trace.
All that remained was dead silence.
"Hundun, do we still give chase? It seems that this person lured the demons of the new era to compete, wanting to become his mount."
Taotie was the first to break the silence.
"Chase? You want to fall just after reviving? Let’s just let this go, the demons each have their own will; even if we are demons from the past, we can’t forcibly interfere with the demons now."
"Moreover, what does the demons’ strife for the position of mount have to do with that Great Human Expert? If we just go up and become enemies with that Human Expert, wouldn’t that make us ancient demons seem unreasonable?"
Hundun said somberly.
Taotie and the other two: "?"
Let me tell you a joke, ancient Great Demons talking about reason...
The three of them could see,
Hundun simply didn’t want to be an enemy of that being...
Since that was the case, they no longer had the desire to oppose him either.
It would be better to leave and find a place to understand this world first.
Just as the four were about to leave the Eastern Province, a familiar aura arose from Xiangdao Mountain, causing all four to pause in surprise...
