The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

A lot of content was added in the previous chapter. If you haven't read it yet, please go back and take a look. (If you have already read it, you can ignore it.)

"Fellow Daoist Lei, we are about to leave this secret realm, yet you are still cultivating so diligently here! I wonder if you have packed all your things?"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Chentian walked briskly to the center of the sea of ​​thunder. He looked at Lei Yuan who was sitting on the ground and practicing quietly, and asked.

Hearing Zhang Chentian's voice, Lei Yuan, who had originally closed his eyes, slowly opened them, a bright smile appeared on his face, and responded:

"Hahahaha, Brother Zhang, please don't call me that. Just call me Lei Yuan.

Considering that after we leave this place, we will still have to work together for three hundred years, if we become too unfamiliar with each other, won’t it be inconvenient for us to get along with each other in the future?

Besides, I have always been alone and don’t have much to pack.

There are some magical objects here, but they are of no use to me, so I'd better let Brother Zhang take them back and give them to the younger generation in my family."

After saying that, Lei Yuan stretched out his hand and waved it, and several storage rings appeared out of thin air in his palm. Then he gently pushed them and handed them to Zhang Chentian.

Zhang Chentian couldn't help but feel moved when he saw those storage rings flying towards him.

He could naturally tell at a glance that these storage rings were all made by humans. As for how Lei Yuan obtained them, everyone knew it and did not delve into the issue.

When the storage rings fell steadily into Zhang Chentian's hands, he couldn't wait to release a trace of spiritual consciousness and quietly probe into them to investigate.

You don’t know until you see it. Once you see it, even with Zhang Chentian’s temperament, he couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.

It turned out that these storage rings were filled with a large number of rare spiritual objects of the fifth, sixth, and even seventh levels, as well as high-quality minerals and other treasures.

Restraining his inner excitement, he bowed to Lei Yuan and thanked him:

"Since Brother Lei is so generous, I will not refuse. I will remember this generous gift in my heart. After leaving the secret realm, if you need anything, just let me know. I will do my best."

After putting away the storage ring, Zhang Chentian looked at Lei Yuan with a smile. These cultivation resources were indeed not of much use to Zhang Chentian now, but they could definitely bring a lot of improvement to the Zhang family and enrich the spiritual medicines in the family's spiritual medicine garden.

These are all family heritage and are extremely important.

Lei Yuan waved his hand with a smile and said generously, "Hahaha, why are you being so polite to me! You helped me escape from this damn place. I don't know how to repay you for this kindness!"

At this moment, Zhang Chentian suddenly changed the subject and asked directly, "By the way, Lei Yuan, do you know where the mineral veins in the Tianyuan Realm are specifically distributed?"

He told the purpose of his coming here.

Hearing this, Lei Yuan thought for a moment, then reached into his arms and took out a yellowed parchment map.

He gently unfolded the map, pointed at the densely packed markings, and began to introduce it to Zhang Chentian:

“This is a map of the Tianyuan Realm, and the locations of various mineral veins are clearly marked on it.

You just need to follow this map and you should be able to find those mineral veins."

After saying that, Lei Yuan waved his arm vigorously, and the map slowly floated towards Zhang Chentian like a light feather.

Zhang Chentian caught the map flying towards him.

When he looked closely at the content marked on the map, a glimmer of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that this map actually had detailed markings of more than twenty mineral vein locations!

Such detailed and accurate information is undoubtedly a great gift for Zhang Chentian, who is determined to explore the mineral veins.

Unable to contain his inner joy, Zhang Chentian quickly bowed deeply to Lei Yuan and thanked him gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Lei Yuan, for your generosity in giving me this painting. I am truly indebted!"

Facing Zhang Chentian's sincere gratitude, Lei Yuan just smiled slightly, waved his hand nonchalantly and said:

"Haha! It's just a map, nothing to worry about! But you still need to be careful when exploring these mineral veins!"

Lei Yuan laughed loudly, but then his expression straightened as he earnestly warned, "Although most of the ores in the Tianyuan Realm are of little use, aside from a very small number of monsters that feed on them, they are basically dispensable items.

However, some of the indigenous people here are quite capable! They can forge those stones into weapons, and if you accidentally anger them, you could be in big trouble. Their sacrificial methods are quite impressive."

At the end of his words, Lei Yuan's originally relaxed expression disappeared, replaced by a face full of solemnity and seriousness. It was obvious that his reminder was not just a casual remark, but came from the heart.

Hearing this, Zhang Chentian's heart trembled, and he nodded vigorously and said:

"Well, thank you, Brother Lei, for telling me! Even you, Brother Lei, find it difficult. I'm sure those natives must have some extraordinary methods. I must be fully prepared to deal with them."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave first. When the secret realm opens, we'll meet at the place we agreed on before."

After saying that, Zhang Chentian didn't delay any longer. He turned around and followed the marks on the map, rushing towards the location of the first mineral vein like lightning.

After all, there are more than twenty mineral veins, and these veins are scattered in different locations and are far apart from each other.

Even though he already possessed the terrifying cultivation level of the peak of the Emperor Realm, if he wanted to travel to all these places, he would still need to spend a lot of time on the road. After all, the Tianyuan Realm was not small.

Time is of the essence and the task is arduous! He dares not delay even for a moment.

After all, this search for mineral veins is not just about restoring Xiaota's strength, more importantly, it concerns their own lives and safety!

Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhang Chentian galloped all the way without stopping.

In the following days, Zhang Chentian almost never stopped, he was either flying or on his way to fly.

"Hmm? Meteorite iron ore? It's only of the lower grade Xuan rank. Ore of this quality isn't very valuable. Forget it, I don't want it!"

When Zhang Chentian arrived at the location of the first mineral vein, he just glanced at the mine in front of him, without even stopping, and turned around without hesitation to continue flying towards the next target point.

In this way, he quickly passed through one mineral vein after another...

Hard work pays off. After searching for eight mineral veins in succession, Zhang Chentian finally discovered a mineral vein above the earth level!

After careful observation, he confirmed that this was a top-grade earth-grade black thunder stone vein.

Looking at this mineral vein, Zhang Chentian couldn't help but reveal an expression of joy that was hard to conceal:

"Haha, great! We finally found a decent mineral vein!

"Xiaota, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go guard the surroundings first to prevent other people or monsters from suddenly breaking in and causing trouble."

After saying that, he was seen flashing and instantly turned into a stream of light rushing into the air, and then began to pay full attention to the movements around him.

At the same time, the small tower happily pounced on the huge vein containing the top-grade earth-level black thunder stone...

"Damn it! Who on earth did this? They dug up the entire vein without leaving even a single scrap for us!"

After Zhang Chentian left, he saw two monks in black robes standing there in a daze.

Looking at the empty and devastated scene in front of me, my jaw almost dropped to the ground.

The shorter monk in black robes looked up at his tall companion with suspicion and asked hesitantly:

"Brother, this must have formed naturally, right? Being able to dig out an entire mineral vein so cleanly and neatly, like pulling out a carrot, root and stem, is something even those who have entered the realm of the Supreme cannot do."

When the tall black-robed monk heard this, he was so angry that he reached out and hit the other man's forehead hard, cursing:

"Idiot! Are you out of your mind? What do you mean by naturally formed? Open your eyes and take a good look. Can't you sense the rich spiritual energy fluctuations still lingering here? It's obvious that it was excavated not long ago!"

The short black-robed monk who had been beaten covered his head with his hands and rubbed it gently with a look of grievance, while he opened his eyes wide and observed carefully again.

After a moment, he suddenly exclaimed as if he had discovered a new world, "It is indeed so! Big Brother, you are right, there is indeed some residual spiritual power!

So, could it be that this mysterious place is hiding some legendary saint?"

Hearing this, the tall black-robed monk's expression instantly became extremely solemn. He lowered his voice and warned:

"I dare not make a conclusion as to whether there is a saint here, but we must not take it lightly.

Otherwise, if we’re not careful, we might lose our lives without knowing why! Hurry up, we can’t stay here for long, we should leave as soon as possible.”

Before he finished speaking, he flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing away into the distance.

……

In a mysterious corner of the Shenxuan Continent, a strange purple-red mist permeates the air.

The fog was as thick as a ball of ink that could not be dissolved, quietly covering everything. In this fog, there would be flickering lights from time to time, appearing and disappearing, as if hiding countless pairs of eyes peeping into the outside world.

Walking into the mist, one can see a scene of jagged rocks. Those sharp peaks stand tall, as ferocious and terrifying as the bared fangs of a giant beast. They intersect and are arranged in a crisscross pattern, forming a terrifying scene.

At the bottom of the valley, boiling magma is flowing slowly, emitting scorching heat and a pungent smell of sulfur.

When the magma flows, it makes a low and dull sound, like the heavy breathing of the earth.

Occasionally, magma would suddenly erupt, forming pillars of blazing fire that shot straight into the sky, instantly illuminating this dark and deep space.

The blazing flames seemed to be the incarnation of an ancient legend sealed here, telling the world the horror stories that had happened and sternly warning people not to easily approach this dangerous place full of evil forces.

And this is one of the seven forbidden areas in Shenxuan Continent that is famous yet feared by everyone - the Demonic Abyss!

"Hahahaha... A great era is about to begin. This time, my demon clan will surely be able to flatten the Shenxuan Continent in one fell swoop, turning this world into our paradise!"

A burst of wild laughter echoed in the Demon Abyss, the voice full of arrogance and confidence.

"It's almost there! It's almost there! The demon army is gathering and will arrive at the Shenxuan Continent in the near future.

By then, all of humanity will become nutrients for our own growth!" another voice echoed.

At this moment, a low and slow sound seemed to come from ancient times, echoing slowly in the deepest part of the endless darkness of the Demon Abyss.

The sound was like muffled thunder. Although it was not loud, it carried an irresistible sense of majesty and oppression.

"Alya, has the sleeping demon general on the Shenxuan Continent awakened?"

As this voice spread, the entire Demon Abyss seemed to tremble slightly, as if expressing awe to the mysterious speaker.

Almost at the moment the sound reached his ears, a figure with a huge body and a hideous face appeared in the abyss.

This being named Alya had two thick and knife-sharp black horns growing on his head, emitting a terrifying aura.

His body is as majestic as a mountain, with muscular body and every muscle containing infinite power.

Its skin was a strange dark red, covered with twisted runes that flickered with a dim light.

Facing the inquiry from the depths of the Demonic Abyss, Arya did not dare to be negligent. He quickly bowed and replied in an extremely respectful tone:

"Reporting to the Saint Demon Emperor, the demon generals in various places are gradually waking up.

According to your previous instructions, they are hiding in various corners of the Shenxuan Continent, waiting for your next order.

Moreover, after hundreds of thousands of years, these demon generals have successfully subdued many demons.

I believe that at critical moments, these forces will be able to play a significant role and lend us a helping hand."

Alya's voice was extremely hoarse, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell. Just hearing it made people feel creepy and got goose bumps all over their body.

"Arya, this operation is the last chance for our demon clan. If we fail, you should know what kind of outcome awaits us!"

The words of the Holy Demon Emperor rang out again, this time the voice was heavier than before, and the pressure contained in it made the surrounding air become stagnant.

As his words fell, the demonic clouds in the Demonic Abyss began to roll and surge violently, forming surging black waves that continuously hit the surrounding rock walls.

At the same time, a powerful gust of wind swept out with the force of a tidal wave, causing flying sand and rocks and creating a mess wherever it passed.

"We have endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens, lingering on until now, all for this moment.

I hope you will not disappoint me, the great demon god is watching us!"

The last words of the Holy Demon Emperor echoed in the Demon Abyss for a long time like a huge bell, deafening.

As the Holy Demon Emperor's voice fell, all the demons of the Demon Abyss shouted in unison: "We will do our utmost! Create a pure land of bliss for the demon race!"

Although the sound in the Demonic Abyss was deafening, no sound could be heard from the outside world.
