The Mountain, The Sky, The Dragon

White Tiger Abyss.

"Can't you climb faster?!"

"Stop rushing me! Can't you see my arms are trembling from exhaustion?"

"You're so weak! What a useless waste!"

"You have the nerve to say that? Who made me this weak in the first place!"

Yin Hu and Chen Feng argued as they climbed.

However, as the light from above grew larger, revealing the blue sky, both of them visibly became more spirited. The outline of the exit was now clearly visible.

With their continuous climbing, they finally neared the edge of the exit.

Suddenly.

A prompt sounded in Chen Feng's mind.

[Congratulations on achieving the Master Teacher accomplishment.]

[Third disciple has established a well-known faction/organization and become its leader.]

[Reward Master with 400 points of Qi and Blood.]

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment.

"According to the system's judgment, isn't the third disciple Weiwei?"

"What kind of organization could she establish?"

"It couldn't be like Su Yan's, could it?"

After all this time, Chen Feng had unraveled many puzzles.

First was the issue of Su Yan.

He had already guessed that Su Yan might have lied.

The older Su Yan was likely the younger Su Yan.

There was no mother-daughter pair at all.

He just didn't know what method Su Yan had used to change her appearance so drastically before and after.

However, he also knew Su Yan definitely harbored no ill intentions towards him.

She had just used some underhanded means.

To get him.

Chen Feng's heart was now filled with concern.

"I wonder how my disciples are doing."

"Have the Flood Dragon and the Ancient Clans wreaked havoc on the outside world?"

The sudden increase of four hundred Qi and Blood points prompted Chen Feng to check his own panel.

[Martial Arts Level: Grandmaster of Martial Arts]

[Dragon Subduing Nineteen Palms, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Ten Forms of Tathagata Palm, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Ten Forms of Heaven Crippling Leg, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[North Profound Divine Skill, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Seven Absolute Zither, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Thirteen Deadly Swords, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Indestructible Golden Body, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Realm: Unity of Heaven and Man]

[Qi and Blood Value: 6400]

The sudden increase in Qi and Blood also reminded Chen Feng of something.

Over these years, his disciples had completely refrained from participating in any Martial Arts Tournaments.

Otherwise, his Qi and Blood might have even broken through to the Martial Venerable level.

Not participating in the tournaments was the best-case scenario.

The worst-case scenario might be that no Martial Arts Tournaments had been held at all these years.

That would mean the outside world might have encountered major problems.

...

Yin Hu now refused to stop for even a moment.

To climb out faster, she even reduced her exploitation of Chen Feng.

It showed just how much she yearned for freedom.

Her powerful sense of smell allowed Yin Hu to clearly catch the fragrance of flowers, plants, and trees from the outside world.

As they continued climbing, the steep stone wall suddenly turned into a slope.

Feeling the incline, Yin Hu couldn't help but look up at the sky above the slope.

At the end of the slope were ranges of mountains.

"I'm finally going to get out!"

Yin Hu felt.

This was the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen in her life.

She never thought she would see the outside world again in this lifetime.

And all of this was because of the man before her.

Because of this man's encouragement, she regained her confidence.

Because of this man's companionship, she was no longer alone.

Because of this man's cultivation technique, her strength greatly increased, making her climb faster than before.

Because of the Qilin meat this man brought, she didn't have to worry about supplies, although in the end, Chen Feng ate all the Qilin meat.

But because this man fell down, his disciples would throw down a lot of snacks every year.

These more than nine years passed at twice the speed of her first climbing attempt.

The first time, the more she climbed, the more despair she felt.

But the second time, with Chen Feng, it felt like every day was filled with hope.

It felt like even if she couldn't climb out in a lifetime, she wouldn't be afraid.

As long as this man was by her side.

Chen Feng was also looking at the slope covered entirely in rocks, without any vegetation.

He knew he was about to leave the White Tiger Abyss.

He could already be considered as having climbed out of the White Tiger Abyss.

It was just that this slope was still within the pulling force range of the abyss.

Once they climbed out of this slope, they would truly be free from the White Tiger Abyss.

He estimated the distance to be about four or five hundred meters.

As Chen Feng climbed the final five hundred meters.

In the Holy Capital, the funeral of an Ancient Clan Elder was beginning.

At the same time.

In a high-end villa in Immortal Capital.

Mi Chuan watched the TV news and cursed:

"Liars! Liars! They're all damn liars! You big swindlers!"

"Weren't you supposed to grant immortality?"

"How can someone who practiced the Everlasting Youth Skill still die of old age!"

"Aren't you just bullying honest people!"

Mi Chuan had broken down.

Tears streaming down his aged face, he pointed at the news on the TV, cursing in a furious rage:

"I immigrated to the Western Continent, cooperated with Zhang Bowen, risked my life in the Martial Saint war."

"And now I still have to hide from over three hundred Ancient Clan Martial Saints just to survive."

"For what?"

"Isn't it to practice the Everlasting Youth Skill and then live forever?"

"And now you suddenly tell me an Ancient Clan Elder who practiced the Everlasting Youth Skill died of old age?"

"What kind of international joke is this!"

"What I want is immortality, eternal life!"

Mi Chuan felt utterly deceived.

What he wanted was eternal life, the kind that would never end.

Not just an extended lifespan.

He still wanted to see what the future world would be like.

To see dynasties change.

To see what future people would look like.

He wanted his footsteps to still be remembered hundreds of millions of years later.

If he could only live for a few hundred years, what difference was there from dying young?

Unfortunately, no one knew Mi Chuan's thoughts.

Otherwise, they'd probably laugh themselves to death on the spot.

Hundreds of millions of years? Even gods would see dynasties rise and fall by then.

Mi Chuan plopped down on the floor.

Watching the live broadcast of the funeral on TV.

Suddenly, the live broadcast's image shifted.

A video recording appeared on the screen.

Mi Chuan couldn't help but be stunned.

The scene showed an urban ruin.

Dozens of masked individuals faced the sea and shouted:

"By order of the Kunlun Ancient Clan, we present tribute to the Flood Dragon Lord."

Then, the Flood Dragon was seen rising from the sea surface.

The dozens of masked individuals placed ten pairs of bound young boys and girls before the Flood Dragon.

The children varied in age.

The older ones were eight or nine, the younger ones just two or three.

Most had blond hair and blue eyes, with a few having dark skin.

None had East Asian features.

The next moment, the Flood Dragon opened its mouth.

The twenty children, big and small, were sucked into its maw.

"What is this!"

"The Ancient Clans are actually feeding the Flood Dragon with young boys and girls!"

Mi Chuan's eyes widened, not understanding why the TV would suddenly broadcast such a thing.

Yet, it wasn't just him seeing this.

This video appeared on major platforms across the internet as well.

Once released, massive funds pushed it onto the trending searches.

And not just that.

The Ancient Clan members who were originally holding the funeral.

Now couldn't help but look up.

At the large screen on the Wei Corporation's central building.

It was playing the very same footage of the sacrificial feeding of the Flood Dragon.

Gu Yang also looked up. Seeing the contents of the screen,

His body couldn't help but tremble, his eyes widening in shock.
