Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 305 Immortal Flower Blossoms
Watching everyone busy at work, Shi An really wanted to get a piece of the pie, but he knew he couldn't do it now, or rather, his current status and position didn't allow him to.

As a Daoist disciple of the Heavenly Immortal Academy, his every word and action represents the reputation of the Heavenly Immortal Academy. If he were to do the same things as those minor sects or even rogue cultivators, he would undoubtedly be tarnishing the reputation of the Heavenly Immortal Academy.

A disciple of the esteemed Heavenly Immortal Academy, swarming around this desolate area like a locust, scavenging for opportunities—if word got out, wouldn't people laugh their heads off?
Thinking of this, Shi An couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Boom!"

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a deep, vast, and enormous drumbeat resounded, and at the same time, a grand sound spread throughout the entire entrance to the Immortal Ancient City, reaching the ears of everyone.

"In this Three Thousand Continents Genius Battle, a total of fifty million Venerables passed the test and reached the No Man's Land."

This is the leaders transmitting their voices, also announcing some information and warning all the venerable ones who enter this area.

Naturally, as a Daoist disciple of the Celestial Immortal Academy and having read the original work, Shi An was aware of these things. Therefore, he did not focus his attention on this, but instead kept his eyes on the Immortal Flower Bud from beginning to end, waiting for it to bloom.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night had passed.

On this day, a series of carriages billowing with auspicious clouds appeared out of nowhere. They were all the vehicles of important figures, some even accompanied by chaotic energy, which made the celestial elders feel fear and flee in all directions.

Looking at the bronze palace that was being pulled by nine-headed dragons and was surrounded by chaotic energy, Shi An felt a chill in his heart. That was a celestial palace.

However, to his temporary relief, the other party did not come to cause him trouble directly, but hovered quietly in the sky, as if they were just there to watch the battle.

In addition, top-level figures from various Taoist sects, such as the Patching Heaven Sect, the Intercepting Heaven Sect, the Underworld, and the Five Elements Mountain, also appeared.

Time flies, and before everyone knew it, the third day had arrived.

During this period, some of the cultivators who were searching for opportunities did obtain considerable opportunities, causing quite a stir. However, they were quickly intercepted and killed by many Venerables, and in the end, they had no choice but to use the Domain-Breaking Talisman bestowed by the sect to escape in a sorry state.

"Boom!"

At the same time, on this very day, a drumbeat resounded once more from the distant horizon, followed by colorful clouds rising into the sky and celestial light illuminating the heavens, making the entire landscape appear even more sacred and peaceful.

Without anyone needing to remind them, everyone understood that this was the Immortal Flower Bud... about to bloom!

"Boom!"

Another deep, resounding boom, like the sound of a drum, shook the soul; this was the great Dao contained within the immortal flower bud resonating.

In the distance, the colorful clouds on the horizon are like smoke, filled with a misty haze, dazzling and boundless, making this whole world seem sacred.

In the hazy distance, the buds of the immortal path appeared, faintly visible there, their ethereal aura flowing throughout the entire landscape.

"So comfortable!"

Feeling this aura, many people couldn't help but murmur softly. For a moment, they felt that no matter how tired they were or whether they were injured, everything was swept away at this moment, as if they had experienced a sacred baptism.

The mountains and rivers, and all things in nature, were shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making them even more hazy.

The grass and trees are fresh, the tender leaves are greener and glossy, the medicinal herbs glow, and the fragrance of the herbs is so rich that it cannot be dissolved. The active power in the bodies of some creatures has greatly increased, and all things seem to be getting stronger, with an added vitality.

"Be careful, this is a dangerous time. Unidentified creatures may appear. Watch your path!"

Just as everyone was unconsciously immersed in the moment, a grand voice suddenly rang out, reminding them that this was something that people from all over the past had experienced.

The blooming of the immortal flower buds brings peace to this desolate area, dispelling vicious creatures and resolving various strange dangers. However, it also attracts some incredible beings, especially when the immortal flower is in bloom.

Originally, when the immortal flower blooms, all the Daos resonate, which would suppress species and powerful beings that exceed the Venerable Realm. However, it is too sacred and extraordinary, and some beings will always be drawn to it like moths to a flame.

Most of the participants knew these things because they were told by their elders in their clans, but some were not aware of them because they were independent cultivators or had irresponsible elders, such as Shi Hao.

Perhaps sensing the worries of the crowd, the giant smiled slightly and reassured them, "Don't be nervous, those are just a few creatures. Just be careful."

"Okay, let's get going!"

Finally, under the command of the giant, all the Venerables moved at once and headed towards the Immortal Flower Bud, which transformed into a rainbow.

"Ow!"

Suddenly, a huge roar, like thunder, came from afar, shaking the mountains and rivers, causing many Venerables to experience a surge of qi and blood, and alarming the entire no-man's land.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the sky. The figure was covered in red fur, which concealed its entire body, so that outsiders could not see its true appearance, or even whether it was human or beast.

It was malevolent and had an astonishing aura. Never before had any creature given people such a bad feeling as it, eerie and ominous, making one's soul tremble.

As soon as it appeared, all the plants and trees below turned dull and eventually withered.

Many venerable ones were even suppressed to the point of being unable to move, feeling a tightness in their chests, as if they were about to suffocate and die.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, the creature with its red fur flowing freely and its body wreathed in ominous blood-red light opened its blood-red maw towards the Immortal Flower Bud, intending to devour it.

At this moment, not only the participants, but even the venerable ones in the distance couldn't help but change their expressions drastically. This thing is so powerful, so evil.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the sound of flower buds blooming rang out, followed by a soft ray of light shining from within, like sunlight illuminating ice and snow, instantly dispelling the eerie aura.

"Roar!"

With a howl, the enormous creature opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, then retreated unwillingly and disappeared.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This thing was too outrageous; once it unleashed its power, it would surely cause a great disaster!
"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a soft sound came from the sky again, and more petals bloomed. Peaceful and colorful light soared into the sky, enveloping the world and making the place even more magnificent and extraordinary.

This time, however, people remained silent and moved forward in quiet vigilance, fearing that the red-haired monster from before might reappear.

Surprisingly, this time it was very quiet. For a full half hour, only the sound of flowers blooming could be heard, and the red-haired monster never appeared again.

The buds of the Immortal Path bloomed one by one, with a total of three thousand petals, representing some of the Great Daos of the heavens.

At the same time, raindrops fell in abundance, crystal clear, and though you tried to touch them, you couldn't catch them; you only felt a warm, comforting sensation.
