Volume 4: Nan Yue Creates Wind and Clouds 0141 Beast King Opens the Mountain

  "Could it be a magical beast from the Trial Forest?" Fang Yue's face was shocked, but she remained relatively calm, secretly speculating in her heart.

  She knew that in the depths of the trial forest, there was a beast king of all beasts. If this aura was released by the beast king, it would be too terrifying.

  Just as the instructors were shocked, a huge black shadow flew out of the woods and directly knocked the nearest instructor flying.

  "Blood Python!" The crowd exclaimed in unison, turning their heads towards the Blood Python.

  The python's body was over twenty zhang long, its massive body comparable to a train, with a bloody aura emanating from its mouth and an ominous energy radiating from its eyes.

  "Awesome!" Fang Yue thought to herself, this Blood Python's strength was at least above 7th rank 5th class, it probably wasn't running out from the danger zone, but rather escaping from within the forbidden area.

  What is the concept of seven levels and five ranks? Although it's not considered a peerless ferocious beast, the blood python's formidable strength has already made these instructors look on in dismay.

  Standing in front of Blood Python was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but in an instant, three instructors were injured, two of them seriously.

  For most of the mentor's attacks, the Blood Python can ignore them, and even if there are enough attacks to hurt it, it can rely on its speed and terrain to escape quickly.

  "Fall back!" Fang Yue gave the order loudly. This was not a suitable moment to engage in a fierce battle with the Blood Python, even if their team had enough power to kill it, they would have to pay a huge price.

  This price is not what Fangyue hopes to see, and if they really fight, they may not have a full chance of winning.

  "Meng Xiu, Wu Yingqi, you two join forces with me to release the Great Seal Technique and temporarily suppress the Blood Python. The other instructors retreat and leave first!" Fang Yue gave the order.

  Now in order for the majority of people to safely retreat, there is only one way: let her join forces with the two strongest instructors and cast the Great Seal Technique together to buy time for a retreat.

  Three people at Canaan Academy are all top-notch magic instructors. The three quickly stood in the three corners, forming an array.

  The Great Seal is not a magic array, but a kind of magic. However, this magic cannot be completed by one person alone. Generally speaking, it can seal opponents who are much stronger than oneself, but the time depends on the caster's own magical endurance.

  An imprisoned enemy cannot launch an attack, but the same applies to being attacked. As long as it is subjected to external forces, the balance of magic will be disrupted.

  The blood python suddenly stopped moving, turned its head to look at Fang Yue, and on Fang Yue's body, it faintly smelled a familiar scent. This scent made it deeply resentful, making it unforgettable.

  The Blood Python suddenly ignored the attacks of the surrounding mentors and rushed towards Fang Yue, its massive body stirring up dust, causing the surrounding mentors to immediately lose their composure.

  Fang Yue didn't expect that the blood python, which had been attacking recklessly and hadn't shown much intelligence, would suddenly launch a brutal attack and charge towards her.

  "Be careful, Fangyue!" The other instructors exclaimed in surprise, worried that Fangyue would get hurt.

  Helpless, Fang Yue could only temporarily give up on the joint practical exercise of the Great Seal Technique. She pushed out with both palms facing outward, and a flame barrier appeared in front of her.

  The giant python's massive body crashed into the flame barrier with a loud crash, and the sound echoed throughout the forest, as flames shot up to the sky.

  A huge flame wave swept across an area of hundreds of feet, Fang Yue retreated tens of meters, a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his face turned slightly pale.

  Fortunately she retreated quickly, otherwise with that furious strike from Blood Python, she would probably have been smashed to pieces.

  Even now, she still has lingering fear, this blood python is too terrifying, even if the combat power of alien beasts is slightly lower than that of humans, and some masters can transcend ranks to fight.

  But that doesn't mean that humans can gain the upper hand by confronting them head-on, especially when faced with overwhelming power, no matter how beautiful the fighting skills are, they cannot be displayed.

  The blood python's attack, Fang Yue couldn't avoid it at all, but the blood python also appeared slightly dizzy after the impact, after all, Fang Yue's magic level was also considered one of the best.

  However, the Blood Python quickly regained its composure, and its bright red pupils locked onto Fang Yue once again. It let out a high-pitched hiss, and its massive jaws were already biting down towards Fang Yue.

  Fang Yue was unable to dodge at this moment, and the demonic energy in his body also lost control, unable to calm down in a short period of time.

  "Master Fangyue!" All the masters were shocked, staring at Fangyue, and didn't even have time to lend a hand. They couldn't believe that a genius would fall like this.

  Boom! Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down, and under the deafening crash, a massive electric snake struck directly at the Blood Python's head.

  The crowd didn't understand what had happened. The lightning bolt had already blasted a huge crater into the ground, and half of the Blood Python's body was charred black.

  And this flash of lightning was only a few feet away from the Blood Python, but for Fang Yue, even if she was strong, her hands and feet were cold, and she herself didn't know whether this was good luck or bad luck!

  "Even heaven cannot bear the death of Fang Yue's teacher!"

  "Has Master Fang Yue gotten God's approval? Otherwise, how could such a coincidental thing happen?"

  All the mentors were discussing and speculating, all of them were delighted that Fang Yue had narrowly escaped disaster, while also secretly being shocked by this coincidence which was almost a miracle.

  At this moment, a seven-colored light pillar suddenly shot up into the sky above the forest of trials. In the light pillar, there seemed to be a figure, but it was too far away for anyone to see clearly.

  All the instructors who witnessed this scene changed their faces slightly: "Is it a divine being?"

  "Was the lightning just now a punishment from God for the Blood Python?"

  Fang Yue, however, did not think so. Her gaze was fixed on the seven-colored light pillar, and she didn't believe that she had been saved by a god, because it wasn't just gods who could do something like this.

  Her mentor, who was also the principal of Canaan Academy, had once told her that a strong God-tier was already enough to turn the world upside down. Moreover, from various signs, it seemed that most legends and myths were left behind by strong God-tiers.

  So at this moment, she was guessing that the figure might be a strong God-level expert, and the lightning bolt was also his doing.

  Fang Yue didn't understand why this powerful deity would save her, and she clearly didn't think that she had any connection with this powerful deity.

  The python in the pit suddenly trembled all over its body, and its huge body jumped up. The lightning bolt surprisingly did not kill it.

  However, that flash of lightning was enough to make it split its liver and gallbladder, its entire body leapt up and rushed fiercely into the depths of the forest, and no one stopped it again.

  Under the cover of divine thought, Fang Yun's existence is almost like that of a god, and one can clearly feel everything that happens wherever divine thought passes.

  At this moment, in the high altitude of thousands of feet above Fang Yun's location, a seven-colored light enveloped him. The petals of the divine lotus of the hundred sages transformed into enormous objects that resembled mountain peaks, almost covering the entire trial forest within them.

  Fang Yun endlessly absorbed the spiritual energy, and the lotus petals were like an amplifier device, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to the maximum extent before converting it into Fang Yun's possession.

  Fang Yun's complexion had fully recovered, and the internal injuries on his body had vanished into thin air in an instant.

  And the greatest contributor to this breakthrough is none other than Baishi Shenlian. As Fangyun had expected, Baishi Shenlian appeared at Fangyun's most critical moment and protected him autonomously.

  Fang Yun relied on the power of the Hundred-Year Divine Lotus and broke through the biggest bottleneck in the Qi Gathering Stage, successfully advancing to the Condensed Spirit Stage.

  "Condense the power of the immortals, comprehend the vastness of the sky, with one finger guide it to heaven, and with one word penetrate the depths of the unknown."

  Fang Yun stretched out his palm, and the lotus petals, as huge as a mountain peak, slowly shrank and fell into Fang Yun's palm. The lotus petals faintly revealed mysterious Taoist patterns, and Fang Yun was contemplating the 'Tao' on the lotus petals.

  It wasn't until this moment that he truly recovered the lotus seed, although it had been hidden in his body for less than a year, bringing him a large amount of immortal energy. This immortal energy was also left over from his previous life, and while he had recovered it in this life, he hadn't recovered the insights he had gained on the lotus seed in his previous life.

  Each petal of the lotus flower has the Dao Xin (moral and virtuous heart) of Fang Yun Bai Shi's true cultivation, it can be said that each petal is special, unique and one-of-a-kind.

  Moreover, the enlightenment of Tao has no end, even if the lotus leaves left by Dao are what Fang Yun inherited from his previous life. However, at this moment, re-awakening to it again brings another harvest, and Fang Yun vaguely understood something once more.

  This feeling is obscure and difficult to express. Fang Yun gently grasped the lotus petals in her palm and let out a long sigh.

  At this moment, his cultivation had stabilized. Fang Yun retracted the lotus petals and the seven-colored halo dissipated into thin air. With a flash of his body, he vanished into the high sky.

  Below, Da Han was with Xiao Yue on the already collapsed slope, waiting for Fang Yun's landing. At this moment, Xiao Yue was completely filled with little stars. Even if she was foolish again, after the changes just now, it made her understand that Fang Yun was not an ordinary person, and even her own uncle who had been together for two days and two nights was not an ordinary person.

  Fang Yun nodded at Da Han, his gaze becoming even more profound. Even though he had advanced to the Condensing Spirit stage and his cultivation had increased tenfold, he still couldn't see through Da Han's true strength.

  "What should I call you?" Fang Yun asked for the first time as he faced Da Han directly. He couldn't determine his temperament, so he was extremely cautious.

  "Kai Shan, from as far back as I can remember, they've been calling me that." The big man replied.

  "Open the mountain!" Fang Yun smiled slightly and said calmly: "You can call me Fang Yun, you protect us for three days, I will give you a chance, I won't ask your reason, nor will I answer your outcome."

  "Fang Yun, what is called fate, what is cause and what is effect?" Xiaoyue asked curiously.

  "You, me, him, this is fate, at this moment it's cause and effect." Fang Yun looked at Xiao Yue.

  Xiao Yue furrowed her brow, lowered her head in contemplation. Fang Yun gently tapped Xiao Yue's forehead, Xiao Yue's expression slightly relaxed, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.

  "Let me see your true body." Fang Yun looked at Kaisan.

  The mountain opened its mouth, licked its lips and tongue, and a mad glint began to appear in its eyes. The sky turned dark, thunder rumbled, and the forest became murky and dimly lit.

  Kai Shan's face looked somewhat ferocious, yet extremely painful, half-kneeling on the ground, his mouth letting out a low growl like a wild beast, his fists pounding the ground one after another, causing the earth to shake for an instant, startling all the beasts and insects in the forest, which fled in fright.

  Roar!
