When the golden house landed steadily on the ground, Nüxi, holding the little white rabbit, immediately ran out of the house and leaped onto the rooftop.
"What a beautiful Bai Mang Lake!"
Nüxi exclaimed with her hands clasped over her chest, genuinely amazed.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan's eyes suddenly opened.
He noticed the cranes circling the top of the tower and his eyes lit up.
Weren't these the cranes he had discovered in the spiritual realm of the desert oasis?
He hadn't expected them to enter the space along with the spiritual energy from the spiritual realm.
The little white dragon was captivated by the cranes' dance.
It immediately flew from the surface of the lake to the top of the golden tower, coiling around it and dancing with the cranes.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the little white dragon, the cranes were not startled at all. On the contrary, they showed a welcoming attitude and quickly merged together.
Thinking of the ferocious appearance of the cranes in the spiritual realm, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle.
So these incredibly overbearing cranes also had such a gentle side.
At this moment, he noticed Nüxi standing on the rooftop, gazing at her surroundings with enchantment. He immediately stood up, shifted his body slightly, and floated towards the golden house.
"Mr. Cheng, it's so beautiful here!"
Nüxi said with a smile as radiant as a flower, seeing Cheng Xiaofan float before her.
Cheng Xiaofan gently put his arm around her slender waist and said, "As long as you like it here, that's all that matters!"
"In a while, I'll introduce you to some friends who have lived here for a long time!"
Nüxi said excitedly, "Okay, then I'll have friends if I live here in the future."
Just then, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth evolved into a giant eggshell.
The entire Bai Mang Lake and the surrounding undulating mountains, including Cheng Xiaofan and the others, were enclosed within this eggshell.
The air inside suddenly became thin.
"What's going on?"
When Kinōe Mieko noticed this phenomenon, she became a little flustered.
Even the Earth God felt something was amiss: "Ah, why do I find it difficult to breathe?"
Ye Shisan also felt an intense sense of suffocation.
After all, he had experienced all sorts of hardships and torment, so his mind was still somewhat clear.
He said, "Everyone, please remain calm and don't panic. Mr. Cheng will surely find a way to solve this."
Nüxi frowned slightly and said, "Why has the spiritual energy suddenly disappeared?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "The spiritual energy hasn't disappeared. It has simply solidified into a state, appearing as a giant eggshell to our naked eyes."
"This is like the labor pains that occur before a woman gives birth; it's just a process."
"It won't be long before this giant eggshell explodes."
As soon as he finished speaking, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the giant eggshell.
As the cracks appeared, the air inside the eggshell suddenly formed a colossal vortex, visible to the naked eye, slowly rotating, and its speed increasing.
Boom!
When the vortex reached its maximum speed, with a deafening thunderclap, the entire eggshell exploded.
The explosive force surged skyward, making it seem as if the moon and stars in the night sky were shattered by the blast and vanished from above.
A sky full of brilliant light enveloped the surroundings of Bai Mang Lake.
The surroundings of Bai Mang Lake were verdant with overlapping mountains, shrouded in mist, appearing both real and ethereal, like a dream.
Auspicious clouds drifted across the lake, and cranes cried out in formation. A rainbow spanned the golden tower, leading into the clouds.
The wind came gently from the empty valley,
The mist was dense, and smoke rose from the deep ravines.
Colorful radiance shimmered all around, and the wind whistling through the trees sounded like celestial music.
It was a scene of transcendent purity, detached from the mundane world.
"Too beautiful!"
Nüxi exclaimed excitedly, "This is truly a paradise on earth!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Nüxi, once the spiritual energy settles, the scenery here will become even more perfect!"
Nüxi suddenly frowned slightly and said, "I have a premonition that with the appearance of this paradise, it might alert some ancient martial arts practitioners."
"They might come from all directions to seize Bai Mang Lake!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I had already anticipated this; it's inevitable."
"However, with the golden tower guarding this place, and eighteen petrified demonic beasts protecting the four directions, it will certainly be difficult for those practitioners to break in."
"If they truly insist on forcing their way in, I will have no choice but to unleash a slaughter to protect this paradise."
Nüxi said, "Yes, my husband. I will fight alongside you. No matter how many evil cultivators come, we will send them back without a return!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Good, I know your capabilities."
"Come, I'll introduce you to some friends!"
...
Boom!
On an unnamed island in the Mediterranean, a massive explosion suddenly occurred.
Amidst the explosion, a pillar of dense smoke rose into the sky, forming a colossal mushroom cloud.
After a while, when the mushroom cloud dissipated, an ancient tomb was revealed in the crater created by the explosion. A wisp of blood-red smoke drifted out of the tomb.
The smoke gradually solidified, transforming into a young beauty with long blue hair.
The beauty's name was Sà'ērnà, a vampire witch.
Sà'ērnà had been sleeping on this unnamed island for thousands of years. This time, she suddenly sensed a mysterious power that awakened her from her slumber.
She looked up at the moon in the night sky and murmured to herself.
"I sense it, this mysterious power comes from Eastern Huaxia."
"A paradise on earth has appeared there, which is exactly the cultivation holy land I've always dreamed of."
"After thousands of years, this holy land has finally appeared, Hahaha..."
"This is too good, too good!"
As she spoke, Sà'ērnà waved her hand, and a streak of mystical light flew towards the distant coastline.
In a flash, that mystical light swept up a young man who was fast asleep.
She raised both hands, caught the young man, brought her mouth close to his neck, revealing her sharp fangs, and suddenly bit down.
"Ah, God..."
The young man awoke in pain.
But before he could react upon seeing Sà'ērnà's face, he had already breathed his last.
Sà'ērnà drained the boy's blood in one go, a ferocious yet incredibly beautiful smile appearing on her face. Her lips, stained with blood, shimmered with a vibrant luster.
"How long has it been since I've tasted such exquisite blood!"
She licked her lips with great satisfaction and said proudly, "This world is truly wonderful!"
"Eastern Huaxia, a holy land brimming with immortal energy!"
"This is the place I yearn for the most!"
Sà'ērnà slowly stood up and addressed her surroundings, "Sisters, it's time for you to wake up. Follow me to Huaxia!"
As soon as her voice fell, she waved her hand and clapped it forcefully towards the surroundings.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
With a series of explosions, over a dozen plumes of smoke shot into the sky.
