Gaze and you will become stronger: starting from Doupo

"A small tower and a stone." Jiang Han stopped talking and deliberately kept the topic a secret. His words seemed to contain endless secrets, which made the little guy even more curious. He secretly guessed what this "a small tower and a stone" was.

----

Duankong City, this ancient and mysterious city, is remote and sparsely populated all year round. The streets are deserted, and only the occasional passing caravan breaks the silence. However, every time the Baiduan Mountains are opened, this city will usher in its most glorious moment.

At this time, the streets of Duankong City were bustling with people coming and going. The hawkers' cries, the pedestrians' laughter, and the sound of carriage wheels intertwined to form a lively symphony. The shops on both sides of the street were lined up, filled with all kinds of treasures and cultivation resources. The monks shuttled among them, selecting the items they liked, and the sound of bargaining continued.

"Have you heard? This time, the Baiduan Mountains are different from the past. There are no restrictions on cultivation!" A cultivator squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly. His voice was full of excitement and anticipation, as if he had already seen the scene of himself obtaining treasures in the Baiduan Mountains.

"No wonder, I was wondering why so many powerful monks came to this city! It turns out they all want to enter the Baiduan Mountains." Another monk suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

"Hey, according to my news, this time the Baiduan Mountains will gather all the top masters in the region! Among them are old monsters who have lived for thousands of years and woke up from seclusion!" A mysterious voice came, attracting the attention of the people around. Everyone gathered around, curiously asking for details.

At dusk, a hazy and mist suddenly rose outside Duankong City. In the mist, there was a faint light flickering, as if some mysterious power was awakening. Then, there was a loud noise that shook the earth, and a ray of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire sky. The light was like the eyes of a god, majestic and sacred, and people dared not look directly at it.

At this moment, everyone in Duankong City was alarmed.

"The passage to the Baiduan Mountains is open!" A powerful cultivator was the first to react and exclaimed loudly. His voice was full of excitement and eagerness, and before he finished speaking, he turned into a long rainbow and flew towards the direction of the thousands of rays of light.

Outside the city, the originally flat ground shook violently with the explosion, and some vague shadows gradually emerged, like a mountain range rising up, looming. That was the Baiduan Mountains. At this moment, tens of thousands of monks had already gathered around it. The cultivation levels of these monks were uneven. Some were as powerful as the Venerable, exuding an awe-inspiring aura; some were as weak as the Blood Moving Realm, but their eyes were full of desire and determination. They were all quietly waiting, waiting for the moment when the Baiduan Mountains were completely formed and the last layer of light film was broken.

"There are many familiar faces." In the sky above the Baiduan Mountains, the Human Emperor and the Venerable Qianxi glanced around and couldn't help but sigh. They looked at the dense crowd below, with both anticipation for the upcoming adventure and a hint of worry in their eyes. After all, the Baiduan Mountains were filled with powerful people, and the danger would be greater than any other time. Jiang Han stood quietly aside, his eyes deep, as if he had seen through everything that was about to happen.

"Brother Huo, long time no see." The Emperor of the Stone Nation stood above the Baiduan Mountains and nodded to the middle-aged man in a fiery red dragon robe not far away. His voice was steady, with the calmness of years. In the Wilderness, the Stone Nation and the Fire Nation were the two most prominent ancient nations. The red-robed man in front of him was the Emperor of the Fire Nation—a child of destiny from the same era as him. He had entered the realm of the Venerable several years ago and was very famous in the Wilderness.

Behind the Fire Emperor, three old men stood side by side. They were hunched, but their aura was restrained. Ancient runes were faintly visible around their bodies. One could tell at a glance that they were old masters who had gone through countless years. The Fire Emperor turned his head upon hearing the voice, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes: "It's been nearly ten years. I didn't expect that this catastrophe would still come. After all, we will disappear in this catastrophe like our ancestors." His voice was low, with helplessness and unwillingness to fate, and he looked up at the sky, where dark clouds were rolling, as if foreshadowing the impending disaster.

The Emperor of the Stone Kingdom pointed at the Baiduan Mountains that were about to open, and a smile appeared on his face: "Isn't this Baiduan Mountain an opportunity? Maybe we can find a magic weapon from it." There was a hint of expectation in his words, and a light of desire flashed in his eyes. At this moment when the catastrophe is approaching, a magic weapon may be the key to turning the tide.

After the Fire Emperor nodded to Venerable Qianxi, King You and other venerables, his eyes finally fell on Jiang Han, his eyes full of confusion. From the beginning, he noticed this mysterious young man. Shi Huang, Venerable Qianxi, these famous figures in the wilderness, were standing behind this man at this moment, with him as the leader. This abnormal situation filled him with doubts. "Brother Shi, who is this person next to you?" The Fire Emperor couldn't help but ask.

"A senior who has lived for tens of thousands of years." The Stone Kingdom Emperor answered briefly.

"Ten thousand years?" The Fire Emperor took a breath, his eyes full of disbelief, "Hasn't he... experienced a catastrophe before? Or did he survive a catastrophe?" The three venerables behind him were also shocked, looking Jiang Han up and down. In their opinion, those who have survived ten thousand years are all extremely powerful and terrifying.

The Emperor of the Stone Nation gave the Emperor of Fire a look, suggesting that the hidden truth should not be revealed. The Emperor of Fire understood, and although he still had doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions, but looked at Jiang Han with more vigilance.

"Qianxi, I didn't expect you to be alive!" A hoarse and deep voice suddenly sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a strange snake flying in the air. It was red all over, with two bodies forked below its head. Its six strong legs were paddling in the air, and its four wings were flapping, bringing up gusts of wind. Its scales were flashing with a cold light, and it looked strange and ferocious.

"You fat creature are not even dead yet, how could I possibly walk ahead of you?" Venerable Qianxi snorted coldly, the aura around him suddenly rising, and he was full of fighting spirit.

A cold light flashed in the pupils of Venerable Fei Yi: "Do you want to have a fight?" Its tail danced in the air like a spirit snake, and its red shadow was like lightning, instantly tearing through the void, and a sharp scream sounded in the air.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Venerable Qianxi took a step forward, spiritual energy surging around him, and a battle was about to break out.

"So many years have passed, don't fight and kill each other as soon as you meet. The catastrophe is coming, and everyone won't live for many days. Can you put aside the past grudges and chat and laugh?" A stream of light flashed, and a huge butterfly flew over. It was more than one meter long, and when its wings were spread out, it was full of light and radiated brilliant light. Wherever it passed, people avoided it. The butterfly was covered with natural runes, flowing with mysterious mysteries, as if it contained the truth of heaven and earth.

"That's the Sky-Splitting Demonic Butterfly! It's said that with a flap of its wings, it can tear the sky apart. This is recorded in ancient books!" Someone in the crowd whispered, with fear on his face.

"This shouldn't be a pure-blooded demon butterfly from the ancient times, right?" "Even if it's not pure-blooded, judging from its aura, it must be a veteran!"

……

King You looked at the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly and exclaimed, "Venerable Demon Butterfly, your aura has become even stronger! Could it be that you are about to break through that layer of confinement?"

The Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly shook its head slightly and sighed, "It's not far away. It's a pity that the catastrophe is approaching, and we may not be able to wait until that day." Its voice was full of regret, and its wings trembled slightly, causing a heart-pounding space fluctuation.

"The Nine-Headed Lion is here too." The Fire Emperor suddenly spoke, his eyes looking towards the west.

A roar like the roar of a divine bell resounded through the sky, making everyone's ears buzz. A lion with nine heads came in the air, its body golden, as dazzling as the sun. Each head was majestic, and the flames spewed from its mouth burned the void. When the nine tails swung, the heaven and earth trembled. Wherever the nine-headed lion passed, the space was distorted, as if it could not bear its pressure.

"It's a bunch of familiar faces! When we were young, we competed for supremacy. We are probably the only ones who survived from that generation. I never thought that now that the catastrophe is approaching, we would meet again and step into the Baiduan Mountains to look for opportunities." The voice of the nine-headed lion was like thunder. It swept its eyes over the Fire Emperor, the Stone Emperor and others. Its body was full of golden light, instantly suppressing the fluctuations of everyone's breath. The mountain in the distance shook violently at its roar. Many cultivators felt their hearts and minds trembled and they could hardly stand.

……

At this moment, above the Baiduan Mountains, 80% of the venerables in the wilderness gathered here. In addition to the powerful human beings who had been in seclusion for a thousand years, there were also many descendants of ancient creatures. These ancient creatures had different forms, some had a single horn, with mysterious runes flashing on the tip of the horn; some had two heads, with ancient wisdom in their eyes; and some had human heads and snake bodies, with scales emitting strange precious light. Each of them had a monstrous aura and was so powerful that it made people's heart palpitate, as if they had walked out of ancient myths.

"Master, look, it's Xiao Hong!" The little one suddenly shouted excitedly, pointing his little hand excitedly. A red bird flew from the west, glared at the little one, but still landed on his shoulder and rubbed his cheek affectionately.

"The aura has become much stronger." Jiang Han looked at Suzaku with a gentle smile on his lips.

"Thanks to you, senior." Zhuque nodded respectfully to Jiang Han, his eyes full of gratitude. Not far away, Zhuyan, Tianque, Qiongqi and other ancient beasts also appeared here. Although they did not approach, they glanced at Jiang Han from time to time, with fear and curiosity in their eyes.

Click!

The light film outside the Baiduan Mountains below suddenly shattered, roaring like a surging wave and sweeping towards the sky. The moment the light film shattered, powerful energy fluctuations spread out, crashing into the entire world and causing a roar. The scene was extremely shocking.

"Baiduan Mountain is open, you can go in!" Excited cheers echoed around the outer edge of the Baiduan Mountains. In an instant, thousands of monks poured into the Baiduan Mountains like a tide, and all kinds of brilliance flashed. The light of magic weapons and the spiritual light of the monks intertwined together, illuminating the entire sky. In the sky, dragons swooped down, golden birds flapped their wings and flew high, the sky-breaking magic butterfly cut through the sky, and the nine-headed lion roared to the sky... All the great masters took action and rushed towards the Baiduan Mountains impatiently, hoping to find an opportunity in this ancient battlefield to fight against the impending catastrophe.

"Brother Shi, I hope we can all survive." The Fire Emperor nodded to the Stone Emperor again, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and then he left with the three venerables behind him.

"Senior, we..." Shi Huang and Venerable Qianxi turned their gaze to Jiang Han, waiting for his instructions.

"This is an ancient battlefield, and there are indeed many treasures. Let's go and explore." Jiang Han put his hands behind his back, speaking calmly. After that, he took the lead and flew towards the Baiduan Mountains. At the same time, his observation Haki spread like a tide, sensing all the movements around him. Shi Huang and others followed closely behind him and stepped into this ancient battlefield full of mystery and opportunities.

"It's really worthy of being called the Baiduan Mountain Range. This small world is full of treasures! If I can practice here, it will be twice as effective with half the effort!" As soon as a cultivator stepped into the Baiduan Mountain, he was shocked by the spiritual energy that was so rich that it almost turned into substance. He breathed in greedily, feeling the comfort of the spiritual energy flowing into his body.

"Spiritual herbs, so many of them! These precious plants are rarely seen in the outside world, but can be found everywhere here!" another cultivator shouted in surprise. In the valley, all kinds of spiritual herbs and herbs grew luxuriantly, some exuded an alluring fragrance, some flashed strange light, and even a few plants were surrounded by auspicious rays of light, which made it clear at a glance that they were extremely precious.

"We got rich, we got rich!" Everyone was so excited that they rushed towards the elixir, their eyes full of greed and desire. However, they did not notice that in the dense jungle and deep valley, pairs of eyes full of vigilance and murderous intent were watching them. The danger in the Baiduan Mountains had just begun...

Compared to the ordinary cultivators' fanatical pursuit of the spiritual plants in the mountains, the masters of the Venerable Realm seemed calm and aloof. To them, these spiritual plants were just ordinary things and could not satisfy their needs to fight against the catastrophe. They had only one goal in mind - to find the supreme treasure. Therefore, once they entered the mountains, these Venerables ran to the deepest part without hesitation, their figures were as fast as lightning and disappeared in a flash.

The central area of ​​the Baiduan Mountains is like a forgotten ancient battlefield. Looking around, all you can see are ruins and bones scattered everywhere. Some bones still have mottled bloodstains, telling of the fierce battles of the past. When the breeze blows, you can faintly hear the shouts of the ancient fighting spirits and the clanging of weapons. The sound seems to have traveled through endless years, bringing a chill that makes people's hearts tremble and frighten their souls. (End of this chapter)
