I picked up the scattered attributes

"I can't refuse."

Feng Xia narrowed his eyes, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Within this area of ​​a thousand miles, there are various precious materials and minerals buried underground, as well as many valuable spiritual plants growing. If Qianqiu Valley wants to develop and grow, it will inevitably need a large amount of resources."

This was also the main reason why Feng Xia finally agreed.

Considering the potential risks, he was also very willing to refuse—but the benefits were simply too numerous!

"No matter what, development is the only way forward. If Qianqiu Valley becomes strong enough, Yuan Dan will be everywhere and Dao Platforms will be worthless. Why would we need to worry about those threats?"

"That……"

Zhu Youniang nodded as if she understood, then suddenly leaped from mid-air and landed lightly in Feng Xia's arms. She breathed softly in his ear and whispered, "Xia, if you can't handle this, I can kill you~ That way you won't feel pain."

Feng Xia: "..."

……

"How have things been going these past few days?"

After sleeping soundly for several hours in the carriage and meditating for a long time, Mo Zian finally opened his eyes again and looked at Qingyue Xiaotong: "With your Heavenly Dragon Spirit Eyes... you should be able to see quite a few things, right?"

"Hmm...of course!"

For some reason, Qingyue's voice trembled, and she replied somewhat flusteredly, "Qianqiu Valley... is indeed as described in that book, with many incredible aspects, but it has also exposed many flaws. Whether it can ultimately join that plan... perhaps it still depends on His Majesty's decision."

At this point, Qingyue paused suddenly, shook her head and said, "But before that, the one in Canglan Mountain should wake up."

Mo Zian's expression also looked somewhat strange. He sighed, "His Majesty is indeed His Majesty. Without lifting a finger or firing a single shot, he has caused Qianqiu Valley to slide into another abyss."

"It's such a pity about Mo Yuanlong. No matter what, he was a Yuan Dan cultivator, and he died so inexplicably." Qingyue shook her head with a hint of regret.

"It's just a pseudo-Yuan Dan, so it's no big deal if he dies."

Mo Zian chuckled and shook his head, showing little respect for the former number one in Xuanwu: "In my opinion, perhaps His Majesty wants to see if Qianqiu Valley can survive this calamity, then it will truly be qualified to participate; otherwise, it will be completely eliminated."

The two looked at each other and both saw the smile on each other's faces.

The threats in the Canglan Mountains have never been the main concern of those sects!

“In the past, every ten years, the imperial court would handle the situation secretly. But this time, it’s Qianqiu Valley’s turn to face the lords of Canglan Mountain on its own.”

……

Roar--

Deep within the Canglan Mountains, a muffled roar suddenly resounded, startling countless creatures. In an instant, an atmosphere of restlessness gradually spread through the mountains and forests.

After an unknown amount of time, the tall trees swayed and suddenly rose from the ground, beginning to move slowly forward.

It was a terrifying, enormous shadow, filled with oppressive and suffocating atmosphere. Just one glance at it could make a person's heart stop and make them forget to breathe!

"Roar……"

The enormous creature slowly moved forward.

At one point, it suddenly let out an extremely angry roar:

"Who destroyed my nest—"

……

Chapter 0123

It was a colossal beast that was awe-inspiring, with a massive body that was nearly a hundred feet tall. Even when it was lying on the ground, it was still several tens of feet tall.

An ordinary person standing in front of it looks like a tiny ant!

From a distance, it didn't look like a monster moving; instead, it resembled a majestic mountain, rumbling through the lush forest. With each step, a terrifying tremor spread outwards, causing the trees to rustle and raising countless clouds of dust.

However, it's far from over.

Not long after, the enormous figure suddenly paused, its body trembling slightly. Then, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth:

"Who... destroyed my lair?!"

slam-la-

In that instant, a terrifying aura twisted and spread.

One piece of rock after another exploded, and some of the nearby mountain creatures didn't even have time to react before they were instantly turned into clouds of blood mist under that terrifying pressure!

As you can see, a pair of copper bell-like eyes slowly opened, flickering in the void, filled with a terrifying blood-red color, locking onto a devastated valley in the distance.

That was its hidden nest, not only used to store food and treasures, but more importantly, it was also the crucial place for it to incubate its offspring!

At this very moment, the entire valley seemed to have been drained of its vitality; the vegetation withered, the rocks turned to ash, and even the aura of its offspring had become so faint as to be almost imperceptible.

Boom——

The enormous figure surged forward, crashing through the rock layers and appearing in a magnificent underground palace.

The underground palace was very empty, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. It was unknown when it was built, but it had stood there for countless years long before the birth of the giant beast.

"Damn it—"

The next moment, the behemoth roared again!

Its scarlet eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent. The first thing it saw was a huge stone egg that had broken open on the altar at the end of the underground palace. The eggshell was broken into several pieces and scattered at the top of the altar.

Some egg liquid trickled down from between the eggshells and dripped onto the surface of the altar.

As you can see, the once abundant egg liquid has almost disappeared, and there are still some traces of licking left, as if some unknown entity came here, broke the stone egg on the altar, and ate everything inside the egg clean.

no doubt……

The life inside the egg is its offspring!

"who is it--"

"Who is it?!"

A roar filled with terrifying rage instantly echoed through the underground palace. The giant beast roared and charged to the altar, staring intently at the broken stone egg. Unbeknownst to them, an unprecedented oppressive aura spread and gradually filled the entire underground palace!

"Xuanwu Kingdom... Xuanwu Kingdom!"

"Those humans definitely know something; we absolutely cannot let them get away!"

The giant beast let out a deep roar and suddenly raised its head. In the sunlight that peeked into the underground palace, it could be seen that it was an extremely thick green python!

It twisted its body, about to leave this underground palace, when suddenly, an impatient voice rang out:

"Shut up! Shut up! When will this ever end?! Can't the dragon get any sleep?!"

The giant python abruptly stopped, turning its head in disbelief toward the source of the sound.

The instant that sound rang out, it could clearly sense it...

The aura flowing with the same blood as himself, which was almost too faint to be perceived, suddenly grew stronger and became full of life, as if a dead creature was coming back to life!

"You...no...this is impossible..." the giant python stammered incoherently.

"You, you, you, what do you mean 'you'? What's impossible? Haven't you ever seen such a handsome old man like Grandpa Long before?"

The moment the words fell, a round object flew out from behind the altar and floated in mid-air, staring at the giant python's scarlet eyes across the distance.

The giant python unconsciously opened its mouth wide, and its crimson tongue slid crookedly from the corner of its mouth, momentarily forgetting to retract it.

It was still a stone egg.

However, it was a size smaller than the one on the original altar, and the patterns on its surface were more intricate and complex, as if they were constantly twisting and changing. Even a glance at it would produce an indescribable sense of dizziness.

"You...are my...child?"

After several breaths, the green python finally spoke, still in a daze.

A connection to its bloodline told it that the creature inside the egg was indeed its child, yet its beastly instincts made it think it was unlikely—

How could such a thing possibly be produced?!

"Could it be that that stinky snake did something to make the eggs I laid... become the offspring of other snakes?" it thought to itself with a gloomy expression.

Sure enough... not a single male snake is any good!

"your child?"

Stone Egg was clearly stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "So that's it! No wonder your aura felt so familiar. You're my mother!"

As it spoke, it muttered to itself, "What's wrong with this guy? He seems a little dim-witted? Wait, damn it, I'm actually a snake?!"

The green python hurriedly corrected it: "It's the Sky-Swallowing Python!"

Stone Egg immediately let out a disdainful sneer: "Swallow my ass! With your meager bloodline, you're more suited to swallowing a python, not the heavens. Putting aside everything else, if you can swallow this mountain, I'll acknowledge you as my father today!"

Green Python: "...I am your mother!"

Stone Egg jumped three feet high: "What the hell? You're my mother? I'm your mother... Wait, you really do seem to be my mother, this is a bit troublesome, such a rotten bloodline..."

Green Python: "???"

Can anyone tell it what happened?!

And its offspring... how did they turn out like this?

An unprecedented sense of bewilderment completely enveloped this lord-level demon beast in the Canglan Mountains.

At that moment, the intricately patterned stone egg leaped into the air, like a meteorite falling from the sky, and slammed hard into Qingman's forehead.

"Very well, whether you are a Sky-Devouring Python or a Zero-Devouring Python, I have decided that from today onwards, I will train you properly until you become an outstanding dragon!"
