The Mysterious Immortal Clan: Rising from the moment I died!

The wind follows the tiger! The clouds follow the dragon!

The wind howled in the sky, and the clouds seemed like an invisible giant hand stirring, slowly gathering into a huge vortex of spiritual energy.

At the very center of this vortex of spiritual energy are two intertwined vortexes. One vortex is as fierce and domineering as a roaring tiger, while the other vortex is as howling through the heavens as a giant frost dragon.

"Boom—!"

The two vortexes intertwined, intimately connected yet mutually repelling, like the yin and yang fish in a tai chi symbol.

As the cyclone slowly descended, it enveloped the entire mountainside.

Such a spectacular celestial phenomenon left everyone present speechless.

"They're here—!"

Ni Kun stared at the enormous vortex of spiritual energy, a surge of indescribable joy welling up within him: "It's here! I've finally waited for this day!"

"Congratulations!" Gu Nianci's eyes lit up. He turned to Ni Yongxiao, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Congratulations, Patriarch Ni! Today is a double celebration!"

The two male cultivators behind her were equally stunned by the scene before them.

After all, for a cultivation family at the county level, it is already extremely rare to be able to cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but now two have appeared at the same time. This is simply an incredible stroke of luck!

The thought that the Ni family might receive good fortune and divine protection made them exchange a glance and, as if by unspoken agreement, clasped their hands in a fist salute to the Ni family members, their congratulations loud and sincere.

Just then.

"Buzzing..."

A rapid, trembling sound came from the memory crystal, as if urging something.

Gu Nianci glanced helplessly at the two male cultivators, then clasped his hands in farewell to the Ni family members once more, saying, "Everyone, until we meet again!"

That's all.

The three of them leaped into the air, stepping lightly onto their flying swords like birds, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Walk!"

Ni Yongxiao waved his hand, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement: "Everyone, please join me in welcoming our two heroes!"

His words were like a bugle call to charge, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the crowd.

"Okay!"

With a shout of encouragement, the crowd followed Ni Yongxiao like a tidal wave, heading straight for the summit.

Seeing this scene.

Ni Kun smiled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the summit.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the summit was exceptionally tense yet enthusiastic.

All the members of the Ni family gathered in front of the two secret rooms, a dense, bustling crowd that made it impossible to move.

Anxiety and anticipation were written on everyone's faces. They prayed silently, hoped, and cheered each other on, hoping that the two people in the secret room could successfully break through.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if the entire mountainside was trembling.

In an instant.

The vortex above the secret chamber suddenly accelerated, roaring and baring its fangs like an enraged beast.

Followed by.

Two arms of spiritual energy slowly extended from the vortex, like two agile tentacles, dancing freely in the air.

Seeing such a breathtaking scene before my eyes.

"Knock knock knock!"

Ni Kun's heart was pounding like a war drum, his hands were clenched into fists, and his palms were already soaked with sweat.

Sudden.

[Ding! Two family members have successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment cultivators. Experience +20]

[Ding! The eerie ancient tree has reached level 5, unlocking the eerie martial art "The Way of the Devious"]

"It's done!"

Ni Kun was overjoyed; he had been waiting for this day for far too long.

His divine sense immediately entered the eerie ancient tree and quickly brought up the control panel.

Activate a bizarre cultivation technique to reshape your physical body once again?

This is undoubtedly a way to quickly gain experience and allow the eerie ancient tree to grow rapidly.

[Note: When the Mysterious Ancient Tree reaches level 10, it will possess an extremely special ability—Nurturing the Souls of the Dead, bearing the Fruit of Chance, which has a certain chance of granting talent bonuses and limited-time supernatural abilities.]

"Holy crap! A fruit of chance?"

Ni Kun stared at the annotations, his eyes surging with shock—the level ten ancient tree, nurtured by the souls of the dead, could actually produce such heaven-defying opportunities as talent bonuses and time-limited divine abilities, making his heart pound wildly!

at the same time.

The strange sapling had grown to three feet tall, and a small but dark hole had appeared in the center of the tree, which corresponded exactly to Ni Kun's dantian.

Visibility increased to three thousand feet at the same time, but strangely, the range of divine sense activity and exploration in the real world did not expand in tandem.

"Gurgle—!"

Black tree roots transformed into thousands of octopus tentacles, covered with sharp teeth and mouths, which wrapped around the entire area in the blink of an eye, waiting to hunt!

"To attain the Dao through demonic means, through evil, through madness... all these are paths to the Three Thousand Great Daos!"

As soon as Ni Kunfu finished reading the preface to "The Way of Deception," he roared, "The Way of Deception! Arise!"

Centered on the dantian tree hole, it's like a boulder being thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating powerful and mysterious ripples.

"Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!"

The black substance in the soil was swept over by the ripples, as if it had been tempered by an invisible force, forming a liquid like ink—black water.

"Gurgle! Gurgle—!"

All that could be seen were the countless mouthparts on the tree root tentacles frantically devouring everything.

As time passed by, second by second.

The tree trunk has shed its youthful immaturity and has instead developed a sense of ancient strength.

"Mmm! That feels good!"

Ni Kun's spirit, which had previously suffered severe damage, was completely restored under the nourishment of the black water, and became increasingly solid, just like a real human body.

"Gurgle! Gurgle—!"

As the black water continuously leaches from the soil, the color of the black soil gradually fades.

Just then.

"Woo-woo ...

The bizarre creature, shrouded in countless demonic flames, had barely revealed itself when it panicked and tried to flee deeper into the earth and into the chaos.

"Experience pack, where do you think you're going!"

Ni Kun's body jolted violently, causing the eerie ancient tree to sway and rustle loudly. Then, a loud shout echoed throughout the strange space: "First level of the Path of Deception... Strange Talisman! Activate!"

"Buzz!"

A blinding black light suddenly erupted from the tree hole in his dantian, unleashing a powerful surge of energy that instantly gave birth to countless mysterious and profound ancient runes.

These runes, though seemingly crude, are actually incredibly skillful, like cracks at the dawn of the universe, carrying a power that devours heaven and earth, sweeping across all directions and instantly enveloping the eerie atmosphere within a three-thousand-foot radius.

"Woo-woo ...

No matter how much they screamed and struggled, they could not escape the shackles of the runes and could only be torn apart and devoured little by little!

"Waaaah—!"

When the first strange creature was pulled in front of him, Ni Kun was instantly shocked and his pupils shrank sharply—although its face was covered by demonic flames and could not be seen clearly, its facial features were no different from those of an ordinary person.

At this moment.

Besides trying to understand the strange phenomenon, Ni Kun devoted most of his energy to sensing the strange cultivation level before him.

After all, the most important thing to him is how valuable these experience packs are!

Holy crap!

Ni Kun's face was filled with disbelief, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This eerie demonic flame aura is more than one level stronger than the illusory image of Haotian!"

The scene of the previous battle flashed through his mind like sparks, and a ruthless thought suddenly arose: "As long as I force Haotian into demonic possession, crushing him will be as easy as crushing an ant! The Ni family's dominance over Yue Kingdom will begin with taking down this old man!"

But how can one force a Nascent Soul cultivator to that point?

Before the thought had even formed...

The strange phenomenon within a three-thousand-foot radius has been completely swallowed up.

I looked up.

The eerie space was completely enveloped by dazzling golden light, and the black soil transformed into a shimmering, golden earth, so bright it hurt the eyes.

"Could this... this be the true face of this bizarre space?"

However, before Ni Kun could even get excited about this amazing sight...

"Splash splash splash—"

The eerie ancient tree suddenly withdrew its branches, and thousands of black waters, like giant hands, tightly wrapped around the unknown entity gestating in the tree's heart.

A heavy weariness suddenly washed over me.

"Sleepy--!"

Ni Kun felt his eyelids were incredibly heavy, his consciousness rapidly blurred, and he was eventually swallowed up by the boundless darkness.

He tried to open his eyes, but the heavy force was irresistible.

Followed by.

"Pop—!"

The eerie ancient tree unleashed an unprecedented and mysterious power, with ripples of energy spreading wildly from the tree's center, instantly engulfing the entire chaotic space.

Careful observation reveals this.

Each ripple contains a powerful energy fluctuation. They intertwine and merge to form a breathtaking scene, like an ancient altar welcoming some being.

next moment.

In the center of this magnificent scene, a small dot radiating dazzling golden light gradually emerges.

Over time.

The spot of light grew larger and larger, eventually resembling a dazzling star.

Suddenly.

A deafening roar followed—"Boom!"

Followed by.

An enormous corona erupted from above the point of light.

Against the backdrop of the corona, the interior of the spot of light was clearly visible—a tall and imposing figure was slowly emerging.

This figure exuded an indescribable sense of mystery and oppression, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

His eyes were closed, like a sleeping giant, silently suspended in the corona.

Her long, golden hair, like a blazing golden flame, danced in the wind, creating an unparalleled visual spectacle.

The exposed upper body shimmered with a strange golden light, which flowed freely along the skin like a flowing golden river, constantly changing shape, sometimes condensing into mysterious runes, and sometimes turning into specks of starlight that drifted away.

"Pop—!"

It was accompanied by a soft sound.

The man's figure suddenly appeared in the chaotic void like a ghost, and then sped away like a shooting star towards the bottom of the chaotic void.

"Bang—!"

A deafening roar shook the world as the man crashed directly into a mysterious and powerful barrier.

"Click-click-click—!"

A crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the barrier; however, when the man's body entered the space inside the barrier...

"Boom—!"

That once incredibly stable space now seemed to be being kneaded by an invisible hand, constantly twisting and deforming, even showing signs of collapsing and disintegrating.

"Boom—!"

When the whole world became shaky.

"Whoosh whoosh-!"

Countless divine figures appeared from the void, some wearing immortal armor, some wielding holy swords, and some standing on lotus platforms; all were celestial beings from the upper realm who governed the Heavenly Dao.

"not good!"

One by one, their faces filled with horror, they desperately unleashed their extraordinary powers and innate treasures in an attempt to protect the space that was about to collapse.

Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of these mythical figures, all their efforts were in vain before the man's terrifying physical power.

"Boom—!"

Immortal magic shattered, immortal treasures cracked, and immortal bodies trembled. The roars of the gods were drowned out by the deafening sound of space collapsing. They exhausted their life's cultivation, yet they couldn't even stop the golden figure by half a step.

It was on the verge of complete collapse, and the world was about to be overthrown.
