From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 485 The storm is coming
The vast Zhenshan Mountain, like a sleeping giant beast, lies between heaven and earth.

Beneath the mountain lies endless darkness.

From a macro perspective, the area beneath Zhenshan is pitch black, an intense, impenetrable darkness that accumulates all the negative thoughts and evil thoughts that have been gathered since the dawn of intelligent life.

Every thought that arises in the human heart may contain subtle evil or malice, but humanity suppresses these thoughts by using morality and law.

But suppression is not the same as disappearance.

These evil thoughts and wicked intentions have always existed somewhere in the universe.

And as more and more of these thoughts converge, they form a negative force in the world.

If Zhenshan had not suppressed these forces deep within the earth, they would likely have run rampant throughout the world, inducing darkness in people's hearts and causing more and more people to develop tyranny and darkness within them.

If that were the case, the world wouldn't be the way it is today.

However, perhaps because these evil thoughts were suppressed under the earth, they merged and devoured each other, eventually transforming into... evil spirits.

Evil spirits devour each other, transforming into demons or evil gods.

This is similar to raising a venomous insect; almost every few years, some powerful evil gods will be born, causing considerable trouble for the Mountain Guardian King.

But the King of Zhenshan was not without a countermeasure.

Every autumn, he would hold the "Autumn Hunt to Suppress Evil Spirits," inviting a large number of gods and cultivators to the mountain to suppress evil spirits.

Regularly purging evil spirits weakens the growth of dark forces underground, naturally delaying the birth of evil gods.

……

The darkness beneath the mountain is not emptiness.

Instead... it's a sea.

To be precise, it is a sea composed of countless evil spirits.

Clumps of shadows rolled deep within the earth's veins, like ink staining the land, like a tide of blood. Their shapes were bizarre and indistinguishable; some resembled withered bones, some resembled beasts, some seemed like faceless beings, and others were like serpents with a thousand eyes, winding endlessly.

These malevolent spirits tear at each other and devour each other, giving birth to new malice through overlapping and merging.

These malicious acts, crowded together, are like a boundless ocean, with waves rising and falling in layers, creating a magnificent sight.

Only when this "wave" rises to a certain height will the vast, towering mountain release magnificent golden light and crimson energy, sweeping across the entire sea of ​​evil spirits with an irresistible force.

In just a moment, countless evil spirits were swallowed up.

Of course, at this very moment, countless new evil spirits will also be generated.

The evil spirits and the mountain guardians are locked in a stalemate, neither able to defeat the other, and thus forever remain locked in this deadlock.

"Liu Wangshu, have you gone mad?"

"You actually want to break the mountain's seal and release the endless evil spirits in the darkness."

"If you keep doing this, you'll be instantly killed by the Heavenly Dao. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Above this wave-like darkness, two figures suddenly appeared.

One was a handsome young man, and the other was a blood-red pangolin.

The pangolin looked around at its surroundings. Although its face could not be seen, its words alone revealed that it was extremely angry.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the layers of darkness rolled into waves, and countless evil spirits intertwined into enormous phantoms, transforming into countless illusory faces and hands that reached out to grab the two of them.

Once touched by them, it will be contaminated immediately.

The pangolin felt a chill run down its spine and instinctively tried to dodge. But the young man simply smiled, and with a light wave of his fan, purplish-red smoke billowed out, instantly enveloping the two of them.

Although their appearances remained unchanged, their auras instantly became identical to those of the evil spirits, and they even transmitted a wisp of power from a high-ranking evil spirit, causing the dark tides to recede.

"Brother Kan, you're the best at surviving under the laws of Heaven, that's why I came to you."

"If we want to compete for enough fortune, we must take a risky path."

"Furthermore, human unrest is an inevitable trend, and we are merely following the will of Heaven."

Liu Wangshu simply smiled; a faint smile remained on his face, exuding a strong sense of confidence.

Kan Kun still had a chance to argue. Although he had a way to sneak out of the Heavenly Dao's hands, the prerequisite was that he wouldn't be blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao.

Good heavens, if you really pull this stunt, even if I have the most powerful methods, it will be useless.

However, at this moment, Liu Wangshu suddenly reached out and grabbed Kan Kun, and the two of them plunged headfirst into the ocean composed of countless evil spirits, continuing to head deeper and deeper.

……

"Wow."

Youming gave his fishing rod a slight twitch, but the hook remained empty.

But now he has experience; when the bait on the hook disappears, it means the fish has taken the bait.

He opened his mind and carefully felt the difference in front of him.

In his daze, he seemed to see a bird, its body seemingly formed from the wind, its wings spread, as if it were about to take flight at any moment.

"Another Lucky Bird! This is the thirty-second one already."

Youming has been staying in Meixi for more than half a month.

The Mountain-Suppressing King left more than half a month ago, leaving You Ming alone to fish here.

However, it must be said that this is truly a fishing paradise for anglers. You can catch something no matter how you cast your line, and you can be sure it won't be any random junk.

"call."

You Ming, with practiced ease, blew at the bird, and in an instant, the bird scattered, as if turning into countless invisible feathers.

The next moment, these feathers fluttered and flew towards You Ming, instantly merging into his body.

The moment the feathers landed on him, a strange feeling of sudden enlightenment arose in You Ming's heart.

A slight sense of pleasure, happiness, and relaxation.

It's a very faint and subtle feeling; you just feel that everything in the world is beautiful.

"This is……"

You Ming didn't know where this feeling came from, but he quickly realized something and directly activated the cheat code [Equal Quantity Adjustment].

容貌：5、意志：7、灵性：5、悟性：6、福运：8。

Over the years, as You Ming's strength has continuously improved, his innate stats have also been constantly changing.

He immediately noticed the numbers following "good fortune".

Fortune 8!

Just as he had guessed, because he had been catching "lucky birds" frequently these days and had incorporated them into his body, his good fortune had finally broken through its limit and reached a new level.
