Chapter 61
The legends of the Classic of Mountains and Seas are certainly not true, but dinosaurs did indeed exist in ancient times, and they were the apex predators of the Earth's food chain back then.
Although her cousin always came up with some rather strange requests, she agreed to them solely for the sake of delicious food.
"Ha ha! It has been so long since I felt this carefree," the Seventh Ancestor laughed heartily. At this moment, he no longer bore the appearance of an old man; his head of black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his brows were shaped like swords, and his eyes were bright, making him look like a man in his forties.
Although they had not yet reached the Monarch realm, they had nonetheless comprehended the power of laws. Wielding various Primordial supreme treasures in their hands, they were able to unleash a might comparable to ordinary Monarchs, barely enough to affect the Sons of the Sky and the others.
By doing so, cotton threads could be obtained. Of course, to make usable thread, it had to be twisted together with hemp to increase its tensile strength, a process very similar to twisting hemp ropes.
"Oh my!" Having grown up in a duke's mansion, Su Xuerou had naturally seen her fair share of fine things and could be considered knowledgeable.
Once a lantern entered the river, the paper would inevitably soak in water—what good end could possibly await it? A strong gust of wind, or even the slightest ripple on the river's surface, would easily destroy it.
Moreover, the golden light was interspersed with some imperceptible black specks of light, which were eroding the golden light bit by bit. The two forces counteracted each other, causing the golden light to slowly grow dim and scattered.
"There is supporting architecture above, so we can still climb up. Listen carefully: hold tightly to my shoulders and don't let go under any circumstances. I am shifting from a hold to carrying you on my back, so stay obediently on my back," Chu Yun instructed, then leaped upward toward the overhead space.
Zhang Junbao assumed the demeanor of an elder brother and spoke with a grave and serious air. Afterward, at the young man's nod, he led the youth to find an inn, requested a superior guest room, and settled in.
Chen Xi had lost count of how many times he had struck, nor did he know how much longer it would take for that hole to reach the surface.
While Chen Xinlei was still harboring doubts, Sophia took the initiative and began washing vegetables by the riverbank.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged wildly, and visible rivers of spiritual energy converged toward Chen Xi's body.
When Lang Feng found Mo Dongli, the latter was teaching his students some basic martial arts.
Unawares, another five days passed. Over these five days, all members of the Yale tribe had completely integrated into the Black Mountain tribe.
Unbeknownst to everyone, when Cheng Nuo used his Star-Pointing ability, the twelve celestial constellations in the sky had each flashed once. This strange phenomenon went completely unnoticed by anyone. After finishing off the Hellish Flame Monster, Cheng Nuo approached Bai Ling'er and spoke.
Wang Hao's reputation had reached legendary proportions; possessing the strength of the second tier of the Source Emperor realm, he had slain two experts at the half-step Immortal Emperor level.
The earlier maneuver had dazzled Jiang Xinyao's eyes, yet recalling Meng Luo's actions toward her, she still inexplicably felt an urge to tease him.
However, facing Xiao Yiyun's open admission that he was Wang Kai's disciple, both the aged Chancellor and Ji Rusheng wore looks of utter shock, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Meng Luo could not help but think that no matter the world, beautiful people were always popular. As long as one carefully cultivated oneself, one could reap many rewards.
This celestial phenomenon seemed to have attracted people's attention long ago; at least ten Extraordinary-stage experts were standing guard here, alongside youths in different attire who were waiting anxiously, their eyes shining with excitement.
Mo Yu muttered to himself. When the three of them walked out of the great formation, the Netherworld Origin bowed to Mo Yu and Anya before instantly vanishing.
Upon returning home, Kong Miaoyu and Su Zhengping took one look at her exhausted face and immediately urged her to take the children and rest.
Amidst the violent shaking, I struggled to maintain my physical balance. Suddenly, the water in the nether spring behind us shot up like a geyser, violently blasting all the way to the ceiling. Without a moment's hesitation, Dao Yi and I fled out of the secret chamber.
No one would question whether Shen Yuan was merely putting on a show. In the current era, where the human race's sorcerers flourished, the status of extraordinary beings was inferior even to that of a household pet. The moment Shen Yuan bowed his head to them, they had no choice but to lift their own heads in submission.
Just as Ming Jin had said, possessing the Daoist power of nine lives and nine rebirths made accomplishing all this naturally simple. My previous failure in casting Daoist arts was solely due to my complete ignorance of them back then; now, after receiving a series of pointers, executing this formation had become a very simple task.
As he spoke, he waved his right hand to and fro. The Cold Moon Fairy watched his current demeanor, and upon recalling the talking posture of "Divine Hand" Zhan Fei waving his folding fan, she could not help but burst into a chuckle.
Upon returning to Changyuan, both of them somewhat deliberately avoided each other, leaving all handover matters to be handled by their subordinates.
The Ying fish shook its body anxiously, but Jiao Zhi leaped up with a kick, using her fingernails as blades to effortlessly slice through the soul-barrier set up by the soul-path student, arriving right opposite Shenyuan.
Yima picked up the dagger she always kept at her waist and neatly carved three characters onto the originally flat white jade plaque. The previously nameless jade plaque instantly gained its owner's name: Yang Qiu'er.
Now, this Third Master He had actually come to Chuanzi, and by the looks of it, he had discussed a great deal with He Chuan; otherwise, Xiao Mo would not have felt such a strong sense of irritation toward He Chuan.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged several blows. The sounds of impact generated by their colliding fists and feet quickly echoed around the onlookers. After the initial clash, both retreated simultaneously. However, it was evident that Zhou Bingran had the worst of it, retreating by a wide margin with his arms even trembling slightly.
He Chuan stated his intentions, making it clear that he had not the slightest hidden motive. Even if he did, he had no desire to rely on this Third Master He.
Just as Lu Junyi and Li Zhi were locked in a fiercely deadlocked battle, Xie Ning in the city learned that Li Zhi had come to the rescue and hurriedly led the brothers Hu Xian and Hu Shi to sally forth from the city, launching a simultaneous attack from within and without. Caught unprepared, Lu Junyi suffered a crushing defeat.
Following Tao Zhaohua and her group, He Zilan waited in a private second-floor room of the Liuhu Restaurant on East Fourth Street, gazing unblinkingly through a monocular spyglass at Tao Yunong as she gracefully walked past outside.
"Mr. Gongsun must not panic! As long as Lin the Instructor and the others capture the rebel Tian Hu alive, the food supplies will naturally arrive along with them!" Zhu Wu said, hastily instructing his attendant soldiers to gather the various chieftains and prepare to rendezvous with Lin Chong and the others.
Catching that mellow fragrance, and watching as Tao Zhaohua unceremoniously unfastened her cloak to hand it to Qiluo, then smilingly seated herself right beside Noble Consort De's seat, Imperial Noble Consort Xie's heart was already overgrown with thorns.
