Volume 1, Chapter 36: Laying the Foundation

As these words faded, Madara Uchiha’s imposing figure slowly stepped up beside Fengtian.

The demonic cultivator now viewed Liu Dingtian as a chance to change his destiny, so he held nothing back, revealing everything he knew without reservation.

The Blood Cloud Cavern consists of one main vein, with eight longitudinal and five lateral branches—a configuration meeting the criteria of the "Ninety-Five Supreme," forming the prototype of an underground dragon vein.

Before long, Yu Jintian slumped over the table, the two sheets of paper bearing the lyrics and musical score lying right there. The man walked over to Yu Jintian’s side, feigning concern as he asked if he was alright, while simultaneously using his body to shield the movement of his hand as he snatched up the papers.

Furthermore, there is a key difference: humans undergo the tempering of the Heavenly Dao to earn its recognition, as only those who have survived a heavenly tribulation can command the powers of heaven and earth. Beast-kind, however, is different; they require not only the recognition of the Heavenly Dao to wield its power, but also the tribulation itself to temper their physical forms and achieve evolution.

Du Qiuguang’s mind was in total chaos, unable to think clearly. Though he told himself he ought to indignantly denounce the bandit, his body betrayed him. As he saw Jiang Anyi approaching, he simply rolled his eyes, slumped to the side, and fainted.

The basement was akin to an underground plaza; the lighting was sparse, though the general outlines remained visible. The surrounding walls were covered in totems.

Of course, this "reality" was merely a three-dimensional projection perceived by the human eye; if one were to reach out and touch her, Jessica would still prove to be non-existent.

By now, the succubus Luo Ya had engaged the God of Courage and the others, and by the looks of it, she held the upper hand.

After walking for a while, Du Yuan was suddenly struck by a question. "Senior, what are the origins of the demon snake and the mountain spirit in this place?" He knew that to win a hundred battles, one must first know oneself and the enemy.

"What is it? Why are you staring at me in a daze?" Yukana asked, noticing that Rhine had been fixated on her.

"Yes, as soon as they die, the entire Lin family will be mine. I provided the information to that important figure," Lin Guobiao replied, his gaze remaining vacant.

Jinzi’s form had become solid, and her strength had recovered significantly; she was no longer the shadow of her former self from when they first met, though she still found it difficult to truly break free from the golden sword.

"Big brother, why are you losing your temper at me? The old man is clearly nearing his end; these matters must be settled clearly. Or are you planning to hoard it all for yourself?" Han Jing shrieked.

Following the official commencement of construction on the public infrastructure in the Dongshan district, Chen Li directly raised the average price of the first phase of Guobang Garden to 1,400, yet sales increased rather than declined.

He waited in anticipation, watching the carriage draw closer, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was there no suona music playing? It was far too quiet.

However, even if one filed a report, if the other party had a high reputation score, it would hardly cause a ripple.

"This... is this inside the body of the Imperial Dragon Beast? How is it a canyon!" The Rain King hovered in mid-air, looking around in bewilderment. The place was lush with hills and clear waters, and he had no idea where the light was coming from; how could this be the interior of a savage beast?

No, this guy is even more detestable than a ghost! He’s just too good at acting; Xie Tianlong even began to wonder if Xiao Nan had once been a professional actor.

"Where the hell did you crawl out from, acting all high and mighty?" The middle-aged fat man looked fair-skinned, but his face was twisted with arrogance, his spit nearly landing on Chen Li’s face.

The others looked at classmate Qiu, thinking, "Is this really necessary?" After all, it takes two to tango.

Pei Xu and Jing Ziyan exchanged glances, blinking in mutual understanding. A look of relief finally appeared on Pei Xu’s face; perhaps he had been overthinking it. Pei Fengqi was not like his father, Murong Yun.
