After that great battle, there was no longer the top-tier Immortal Sect, Yunzhong Valley.
However, strangely, after breaking through the Yunzhong Valley, the eighteen Immortal Sects that raided it all left the valley in tacit agreement after plundering it.
No one mentioned claiming the treasure of the Yunzhong Valley for themselves.
The reason was that since that day, all the Unity Realm cultivators who led the siege on Yunzhong Valley had mysteriously disappeared.
It was rumored that they were all killed by a tall crystal-armored figure and died in Yunzhong Valley. Many people spoke of it as if they had witnessed it firsthand.
But there weren’t many who truly believed it. Everyone wasn’t foolish; there were dozens of Unity Realm cultivators besieging Yunzhong Valley. Could they all have died?
It must be that they either obtained some treasure, killed each other, or found a place to hide.
As for being killed by that crystal-armored figure, it was just a joke to listen to, and whoever believed it was a fool.
Sometimes it’s like this—faced with the truth, they act as if they’re foolish, refusing to believe it, while casually fabricated lies are taken as truth. Perhaps, this is the reason why rumors spread far and wide.
Most people tend to believe in the “facts” they want to believe. Once actions don’t conform to “common sense,” they’re considered foolish.
However, there are always some people who have special channels to know the truth of things.
These messages convey facts without adding subjective factors.
Deep in the mountains of Lingshan Continent, in a palace, Lin Mei said with a serious expression, “Master, reliable information: Left Hall Master Shi Huan incited the eighteen Immortal Sects to besiege Yunzhong Valley. After the eighteen Immortal Sects launched their attack simultaneously, a crystal-armored figure suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack, killing all fifty-four Unity Realm cultivators present.
All the attacked Unity Realm cultivators were no match at all, beheaded within one round, instantly killed on the spot. There were also inexplicable explosions, which severely injured all the Unity Realm cultivators, who were then individually slain by the crystal-armored figure. Left Hall Master Shi Huan was also confirmed dead.”
The Immortal Master widened his eyes suddenly, disbelief written all over his face. “Is the information true?”
Lin Mei nodded. “Disciples spread the news, and what they saw was real.”
After pondering for a moment, unable to figure out where this crystal-armored figure came from, and how they could slaughter Unity Realm cultivators like chickens and ducks, he asked the most important question: “What about the bodies of those Unity Realm cultivators?”
Lin Mei shook her head. “Accurate information: They were all taken away by the crystal-armored figure!”
“Bang!”
The Master suddenly slapped the table, shattering it!
The same scene was happening in many places, where real information was laid out on their desks.
Their first reaction was: “Beyond the Unity Realm!”
For some reason, they all had the same feeling: “A change is coming!”
The pattern of the cultivation world might have quietly shifted in another direction after this incident, and when looking back thousands or even millions of years later, it would be known as a signal of earth-shaking changes.
……
As the cultivators in the cultivation world speculated and imagined who the crystal thief could be, Su Hao led the group across the vast Guangming Sea, flying towards Lingshan Continent.
Over a month later, Su Hao finally settled on a place to stay, a coastal port.
The coastal port was extremely vast, with a mountain range extending from the mainland into the sea, then curving back like the outstretched claw of an eagle, grabbing hold of a corner of the deep blue sea.
Despite the strong winds outside the harbor, it was calm and peaceful within.
Golden sands and white waves, the sea and sky blending into one, white gulls circling, seabirds chirping, schools of fish swimming freely, and dolphins frolicking.
Seeing such a breathtaking place, Su Hao decided to stay here for the time being.
Standing at the highest point overlooking the entire bay, Su Hao seemed to inform everyone, as well as speak to himself, “Exploring the universe and seeking the mysteries of life, let’s call this place Starry Bay!”
The name of this place was thus decided.
From some unknown point, everyone around began to defer to Su Hao, even the eldest senior, Feng Hua, was the same.
Whatever decision Su Hao made, no one dared to object.
None of this mattered to Su Hao; he did what he wanted, and if anyone disagreed, they could go their separate ways.
Feng Yan asked curiously, “Brother Feng Wei, are we going to live here in the future?”
Su Hao nodded, “That’s right. We don’t know what the situation is like elsewhere for the time being, so we’ll stay here temporarily.”
Then he turned to Yashan and said, “Junior Brother Yue Ying! I’ll send you the design plans, and we’ll work together to remodel Starry Bay.”
“Don’t worry, Boss Feng Wei!” Yashan’s eyes flashed with excitement. He could team up with Boss Wei again to unleash their combined technique!
With the help of Little Light, the plan to remodel the mountainside of the harbor was quickly designed. Then it was divided into two parts, with Yashan responsible for the part extending into the sea, and Su Hao responsible for the inner side!
Once Yashan confirmed his understanding, Su Hao said, “Let’s begin!”
Then the two of them, to the astonishment of Feng Ling and others, transformed into [Child of Fate] and [Earth Lord], respectively, and flew to their designated positions, unleashing the ‘Blood Flesh Assimilation’ technique with all their might.
“Joint Technique – Super Large-scale Base Manufacturing Technique”!
The land beneath Su Hao and Yashan’s feet visibly turned into crystal, one transparent and the other brown-black, spreading outward at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, the entire land of Starry Bay turned into crystal, undulating and wriggling slowly, like the earth coming to life, transforming into a coiled and sleeping earth dragon, now slowly awakening.
The mountain walls wriggled and transformed, layers of buildings emerging. Platforms extended from the foot of the mountain, and railings, stone terraces, and pavilions gradually formed, more awe-inspiring than the largest palaces and buildings in the world.
Once the overall structure was in place, the details were gradually carved out. Dragons, phoenixes, kylin, and fierce tigers appeared on the pillars, while carved flowers blossomed on the walls. Eaves and tiles on the attic took shape, neatly arranged like fish scales…
Feng Ling and Feng Hua flew in mid-air, their mouths gaping round, their eyes gradually becoming confused, their minds blank.
“What is this?”
In the past, whenever Su Hao caused a commotion, she could still be on the sidelines shouting and exclaiming in shock, but now she couldn’t utter a single word of profanity.
What happened today truly overturned her understanding of this world and of cultivation.
If she saw Su Hao using techniques to construct buildings and pavilions bit by bit, she could still accept it, but to directly run up and almost turn the entire mountain range into crystal, freely creating the scenes he wanted… that was just too unbelievable.
In half an hour, Su Hao and Yashan had constructed according to the model on the design drawing, not exactly the same, but very close.
In just half an hour, they had completely transformed the entire harbor, and it gave off a feeling of seamless integration, extremely delicate and coordinated.
If they were to start a real estate company in another world, they would undoubtedly be able to use ultra-low costs to defeat all competitors and become the richest in the world.
After Su Hao and Yashan withdrew their transformations, the entire mountain range returned to its rocky appearance. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the cracks in the rocks had all merged into one, seamlessly combined.
The grass and trees on the mountain range had been moved to specific locations and turned into potted plants in the harbor…
After Yashan finished his work and returned to his normal state, he ran to Su Hao’s side, panting with excitement, and said, “Boss Feng Wei, how was my cooperation? I specially practiced the ‘Ten Rooms and One Hall Technique’ before.”
Su Hao also took a rare breath and smiled, “Not bad, but you still need to continue to work hard. Let’s see if we can transform the entire continent in the future. Hahaha!”
Yashan’s eyes widened, indeed, compared to Senior Brother Wei’s boldness, he was still far behind!
Feng Ling and Feng Hua, along with others, also landed next to Su Hao, wanting to ask, but not knowing where to start.
Su Hao saw their confusion and immediately smiled, “As you know, Master, I am a genius! For geniuses, this is all trivial.”
Feng Ling had a skeptical expression, then pointed to Yashan beside her and whispered in her ear, “What about Yue Ying? How can he do it too?”
Su Hao said, “As for him, he’s also a genius!”
Feng Ling, Feng Hua, Feng Yan, Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping: “…”
Only the two of them are geniuses, while the rest are just normal people, right?
