Above the source of Tao

Yun Chang'an pushed open a house in the center. This must be the City Lord's Mansion. He walked in and saw a statue standing in an open space in the front hall. However, the statue only had the lower half, and the upper half had been shattered, and the stone was missing.

"This should be the city lord."

Yun Chang'an looked at the stone sculpture which only showed the lower half of its body, turned around and walked into the main hall. Yun Chang'an was horrified to find that there were actually more than a dozen eggs here.

"Isn't this the anaconda's egg?"

I was still confused, and then Xiao Xuan said, "What a good thing! If it is roasted, it will be delicious. Hurry up and pack it up."

Yun Chang'an listened to this with a dark face. Let's not talk about whether this is the boa constrictor's egg or not. You are a woman and you always talk about eating. If it is the boa constrictor's egg, and she comes back and finds that her child is missing, she will definitely come after us and fight us.

"This is the anaconda's egg. If it is discovered that I stole its child, it will fight me to death, but I can't defeat it."

Let’s leave here quickly, Yun Changan thought.

"It's useless. He doesn't even dare to fight a small spiritual beast."

Xiao Xuan was making sarcastic remarks on the side, and Yun Changan suddenly went crazy and wanted to go up and argue.

"Who are you calling useless? I am a fearless person. How can that anaconda be my opponent? I just took its eggs. If it wants to take revenge, I will kill it without leaving a single piece of armor."

Yun Chang'an was provoked by Xiao Xuan's words. He took the dozen eggs and put them into the Siyang Gourd Lamp.

"See? I'm not afraid at all."

After taking the egg, Yun Chang'an did not forget to retort. He walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and went to meet up with his senior brothers.

"Junior brother, where are you going? Don't run around. The anaconda will probably break through the seal and chase after us soon. Let's finish what Master has asked us to do first, and then leave quickly."

"Okay, Senior Sister, but I found more than a dozen eggs in the City Lord's Mansion, and I don't know if they belong to the anaconda."

"Hmm... I hope not. Let's hurry up and look for the Nether Flower, pick it, and leave here."

So, the group of four came to the garden in the east, and saw a dead tree in the center of the garden. There were three withered petals on the tree. Each of the petals had six petals, and the color of the petals was a bright purple with some withered yellow on them.

"This must be the Nether Flower."

Yun Chang'an stared at the petals for a long time and felt a pain in his head, which made him dizzy.

"Grab it now and get out of here."

Gu Jin walked closer and stretched out his hand to take the flower, but was bounced back by a strange force. He was confused but continued to try. After trying several times, he found that there seemed to be something on the tree that was blocking him from picking the flower.

"There's something strange about this tree. I tried several times but couldn't touch it. I was bounced back by a force."

Yun Chang'an stared at the tree and studied it. This strange power reminded him that Fairy Shichen had told him that it was very difficult for people to pick some spiritual objects when they were immature. If they were to pick them by force, it would only make the tree withered, and thus lose its value.

There is only one way, which is to uproot the tree and the land under the tree, and use a formation to nourish them in a suitable place.

Yun Chang'an happened to have the beads of the Five Elements Runtu Formation in the Siyang Gourd Lamp. These five beads were left for him by Fairy Shichen before she fell into a deep sleep to nourish the wasteland. She left them to him because she was afraid that the formation she had cast before would lose its original vitality due to insufficient Five Elements vitality.

Using it in this place can be considered as making good use of it. Yun Changan found the five beads from the Siyang Gourd Lamp and held them in his hand.

"Big Brother, let me give it a try."

As he said that, the eldest senior brother made way. Yun Changan took the five beads, chanted the incantation taught to him by Fairy Shichen, and scattered the beads in the direction of the tree.

After a moment, a formation flashed and surrounded the dead tree. Then the dead tree showed some reaction. The trunk was no longer as dry as before and had some luster.

"It's done."

Then, Yun Chang'an grabbed the dead tree by its roots and pulled up the soil underneath it, and put them into the storage bag. This storage bag was given to him by Master Zhao Xian together with the map before he entered the secret realm.

It was the first time that Yun Changan saw anything other than his own Siyang Gourd Lamp that could be used to store items.

"Let's go. We have completed what Master Zhao Xian asked us to do."

After taking the Netherworld Flower and preparing to leave, everyone heard a roar from afar.

"Oh no, hurry up, it's that anaconda."

The eldest brother hurriedly urged the others to leave. Yun Changan's heart tightened. Could it really be the egg of the anaconda? That would be really bad.

So the four of them quickened their pace and ran towards the other side of the city. After a moment, Lin Yuan'er saw the boa constrictor chasing after them.

"It's catching up."

"Damn it, there's a big hall over there. Let's go in and hide first, and then think of a solution."

Everyone entered the hall, locked the door, and ran to the back of the hall. They began to look around to see if there was anything that could resist the Yuan Beast.

"Come quickly, there is a secret room here."

Lin Yuan'er's voice came from a corner. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Yuan'er moving a stone door made of a huge stone. The eldest brother saw it and hurried over to help. Yun Chang'an stared at the door of the hall and saw a shadow coming towards here from outside the door.

"Oh no, that anaconda is coming."

Yun Chang'an ran to the secret passage and told everyone that these people entered the secret passage. Yun Chang'an and Gu Jin closed the stone door together. Senior Sister He took out torches in the secret passage, lit them up and distributed them to several people.

The four men held torches and walked towards the depths of the secret passage. The secret passage was very long and narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. The four men walked forward in a line, and soon they came to a stone gate. There was a plaque on the top of the gate with three big characters engraved on it, but Yun Changan did not recognize these characters.
