Chapter 81: Ancient Mutant, Golden Roc Assault

In the Xuanzhen Abode, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged by the side of that spiritual spring, streams of black and white mysterious light flowing around his body.

Faintly visible, each time the black and white mysterious light flickered, the Dao Fruit mysterious light above his head became a bit more profound and mystical. Inside, there was a terrifying anomalous phenomenon, sometimes like purple lightning destroying the world, sometimes like the Heavenly One transforming life, and occasionally like the universe of time and space flickering into nothingness.

Whether it was the purple lightning destroying the world, the Heavenly One transforming life, or the universe of time and space flickering into nothingness, they all seemed to be manifestations of Yin and Yang changes, with a vast and mighty power emerging within them.

Amidst such mystical commotion, a divine talisman gradually materialized within the mysterious light, appearing as the Heavenly One Long River. The mighty and vast Heavenly One Long River soaked into the mountains, rivers, and earth veins surrounding the Xuanzhen Abode.

During the day, it gathered the fiercely hot Sun True Fire from above, purifying the savage power of the Sun True Fire. At night, it collected the power of the sun, moon, and stars to bolster the strength of the Heavenly One Long River, pushing the creative power of the Heavenly One to its limit.

Only Lin Yuan’s terrifying Primordial Divine Demon Dao Body was completely unafraid of the savagery of the Sun’s fire. Instead, he used the Sun’s fire to forge his Primordial Divine Demon Dao Body.

This commotion naturally grew larger day by day. Lin Yuan already had other plans at this point and completely disregarded such a grand display.

However, this commotion greatly surprised many Inner Sect Disciples and True Inheritance Disciples of the Yuanling Grotto-Heaven. Such a frightening cultivation anomaly was simply too astonishing.

Especially the function of that Heavenly One Long River, carrying with it the vast continuous spiritual energy that was transforming the Spiritual Mountain Blessed Lands. Even Inner Sect Disciples and True Inheritance Disciples cultivating in several nearby Spiritual Mountain Blessed Lands benefited greatly.

The Heavenly One True Water was the mother of all waters, its creative power endless. It could cleanse the marrow and purge impurities. Even internal hidden injuries or damage to the Dao foundation could, over time, be repaired!

At this moment, atop a spiritual peak where countless spiritual herbs and exotic species vied in splendor, several Daoists enveloped in immortal light looked toward the direction beneath the layers of white clouds, where the Lingyuan Lake and the Xuanzhen Abode were located.

One of the Daoists held a precious mirror in his hand. An extremely mysterious and wondrous aura flowed on the mirror’s surface, as if an aura deeply hidden in the spacetime of the past was being forcibly dragged out and captured into the mirror. A stream of immortal light flowed in the Daoist’s hand, faintly carrying the aura of life, death, and reincarnation.

“Abandoning skill and artifice, the mind merges with the mysterious transformation, and things reside in the spiritual mansion, not the eyes and ears… The profound wonder of creation is nothing greater than this!” one of the Daoists exclaimed with wonder flashing in his eyes, unable to hold back a sigh.

“Discarding the craftsmanship of Dao methods, the will seamlessly joins with the Heavenly One’s creative power. Such skill already resembles the style of people like us!” Another Daoist stroked his beard and smiled.

The several Daoists all nodded slightly. This level of cultivation was no weaker than those favored sons of heaven among the Twelve Dharma Lineages.

The gazes of the several Daoists looked out. It wasn’t just them; many cultivators who had come one after another to attend the Yuanling Grotto-Heaven’s True Inheritance Banquet also stopped to observe this scene, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Among them were many Immortals with profound cultivation.

Right at this moment, a mysterious light shot up into the sky from the Lingyuan Lake. The several Daoists looked toward it.

A towering giant wave rose from the Lingyuan Lake. Faintly, a massive creature was rolling within the lake, with streams of peerless mysterious light flowing inside, its immense power surboundlessly.

It was a mutant white whale. It had clearly broken through now, its body actually covered in pieces of ice-blue dragon scales. It also had another aura of cold, biting chill that would be difficult for ordinary Yang Spirit True Lords to withstand.

“Mysterious Nether Heavy Water power!”

Many accomplished Daoists recognized the origin of that chill. Mysterious Nether Heavy Water was an extremely fearsome water-based divine ability.

“What a great opportunity! Having received the marrow-cleansing, impurity-purging benefits of this Heavenly One True Water, it has fully awakened its ancient dragon whale bloodline. As long as it cultivates diligently from now on, it might very well achieve the status of an Earth Immortal!”

On the Spirit Cliff, a handsome blue-robed Daoist watched this scene and gave a light smile.

Quite a few mutant beasts and exotic species lived in this great marsh. With the power of the Heavenly One True Water, the beneficiaries were probably not few.

Just then, the expressions of the many Daoists suddenly changed as they looked up.

Screech!!

Like rolling thunder, the clouds suddenly tore apart. Accompanied by an extremely sharp eagle cry, a golden gale swept across the horizon. It seemed like a streak of golden light swept past the many Spiritual Mountain Blessed Lands of the Yuanling Grotto-Heaven and, under the gazes of the many Daoists, headed straight for the Lingyuan Lake.

More precisely, for the little white whale in the lake undergoing its bloodline transformation!

“Such a huge spiritual bird?”

“An ancient mutant, the Dragon-Eating Golden Roc!”

“Is this the mount of some esteemed guest?!”

…

The faces of the Daoists all changed drastically as they watched this scene. The Dragon-Eating Golden Roc was an ancient mutant. Though this Dragon-Eating Golden Roc was not yet mature, the vast spiritual pressure it emitted far exceeded that of ordinary Primordial Spirit Great True Lords!

Its speed was also extremely fast. Even the several Chengyuan Immortal Sect Immortals witnessing this scene wanted to intervene, but it was already too late!

“What a pity for this little dragon whale!” Some displeasure flashed in the eyes of many Immortals.

Down in the Lingyuan Lake, that little white whale was already trembling. After reaching maturity, the Dragon-Eating Golden Roc could feed on true dragons. How terrifying! It was currently at the critical moment of bloodline transformation. How could it withstand the iron claws of the Dragon-Eating Golden Roc!

In the Xuanzhen Abode, Lin Yuan opened his eyes. Hearing the pitiful crying of that little white whale in the lake, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Ever since delivering him to the Xuanzhen Abode, this little white whale had lingered in the Lingyuan Lake, unwilling to leave, unable to be driven away. Over time, having its bones and constitution tempered by his Heavenly One True Water, its magical power had greatly increased. Now it was undergoing a complete transformation, clearly with hope for the Immortal Dao.

Now its luck had run out, attracting a great nemesis.

But this little white whale did have some connection with him after all. Moreover, the area within several hundred miles of this Xuanzhen Abode was, after all, his forbidden territory. If he let this Dragon-Eating Golden Roc succeed today, wouldn’t it make him look incompetent!

Sensing the vast golden light flying overhead, Lin Yuan slightly furrowed his brow. He raised his hand and waved, sending a Five Elements Divine Thunder, shimmering with five colors, shooting into the sky. A magnificent radiance spread across the sky above the Lingyuan Lake.

That Golden-Winged Roc clearly saw the five-colored divine thunder. A flicker of disdain passed through its golden pupils. It was an ancient mutant, its physical body strong to the extreme, even capable of wrestling with true dragons. A mere Five Elements Divine Thunder wanted to hurt it? A golden light flashed on its wings, seemingly splitting the clouds, as it prepared to break through the divine thunder and dive down.

“Screech!”

The next moment, accompanied by sky-shaking thunderclaps, the Golden-Winged Roc let out a shrill, miserable cry. The vast five-colored thunder light, blazing with lightning, broke through the golden light on its wings, blasting it until its whole body was charred black, nearly knocking it down!

The five-colored divine thunderclaps shook the heavens. Many Daoists felt the surging five-colored aura and their expressions changed drastically, feeling their very Primordial Spirits tremble.

“Such a formidable Five Elements Divine Thunder?”

The faces of several Chengyuan Immortal Sect Immortals also showed moved expressions.

The physical body of an ancient mutant Golden-Winged Roc was incredibly strong, its speed also extremely fast. This Five Elements Divine Thunder not only hit this fierce Golden-Winged Roc, but also broke through its protective golden light.

Although it didn’t actually injure the Golden-Winged Roc, it was still unbelievable!

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, his expression unchanged and impassive. The Five Elements Divine Thunder had integrated part of the mysteries of the Dutian Divine Thunder, naturally greatly increasing its power. What was displayed now was merely superficial.

The next moment, Lin Yuan raised his eyes. Seeing the Golden-Winged Roc approaching with renewed fury, a trace of chill entered his heart. It seemed the person who kept this Golden-Winged Roc was determined to let this ancient mutant run wild.

Did they truly think he couldn’t deal with this Golden-Winged Roc?
