The golden dragon paused, then continued telepathically, "Not only that, but the Yin-Yang Mountain, which was originally incredibly cold and gloomy, has actually begun to become hot and dry. In the past, even in the height of summer, the mountain was cool and pleasant, filled with a chilling aura. But now, this hot and dry atmosphere permeates the entire Yin-Yang Mountain—this is an unprecedented sign!"

The Golden Flood Dragon, after a long period of cultivation and evolution, has now successfully advanced to the level of Beast King.

Its divine sense is much stronger than before. It can not only perceive changes in the surrounding environment more clearly, but also convey its thoughts and feelings more accurately.

What caused this?

Upon hearing Jin Jiao's words, Fang Han's heart tightened, and he quickly pressed for an answer.

He knew the importance of Yin-Yang Mountain to the Yin-Yang Tree and the Golden Dragon. Now that such an abnormal situation had occurred at Yin-Yang Mountain, the cause had to be found out as soon as possible before appropriate measures could be taken.

“The reason is unknown.” Jin Jiao shook his head helplessly and continued to transmit information with his divine sense. “I tried to investigate with my divine sense, but I did not find any abnormal energy fluctuations or external interference factors. The sudden surge of the earth fire is really puzzling.”

Fang Han frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "If this place is no longer suitable for you to hide and cultivate, then you can only go to Taihu Lake in the Southern Region. Taihu Lake in the Southern Region has a vast body of water, abundant spiritual energy, and a relatively strong yin and cold energy, which should be a good place for you to cultivate."

"It seems that the reason why the monsters of Yin Yang Mountain have been leaving Yin Yang Mountain recently is directly related to the sudden surge of the earth fire in Yin Yang Mountain."

Fang Han thought to himself, recalling the unusual behavior of the monsters in Yin Yang Mountain recently.

These monsters are extremely sensitive to changes in the environment. They can sense the dangers that are about to occur in Yin Yang Mountain in advance, which is why they all choose to leave and find new places to live.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fang!"

The golden dragon said gratefully, "Now I can fly through the clouds and go directly to Taihu Lake in the Southern Region. However, I will miss you, Mr. Fang."

Fang Han smiled slightly and comforted him, "When you truly transform into a dragon, we will naturally be able to meet often."

"You stay here and cultivate diligently. I'll go check on the Yin-Yang Tree."

After Fang Han finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the Yin-Yang Tree.

Surrounding the Yin-Yang Tree is a powerful and mysterious array. This array was meticulously set up by Fang Han and Xiang Wantang, incorporating various profound array principles and mysterious runic power.

For anyone else, even a peak Yuan Dan realm expert, passing through this formation would be no easy task. It would inevitably consume a lot of energy and time, and they might even become trapped in the formation, unable to extricate themselves.

However, Fang Han, as one of the arrangers of this grand formation, was thoroughly familiar with its structure and operating principles and was fully capable of easily controlling the formation.

He muttered incantations, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and mysterious runes flew from his fingertips, merging into the great formation.

Suddenly, the array flashed and a gap appeared. Fang Han moved swiftly and passed through the array smoothly.

After passing through the formation, Fang Han finally saw the Yin-Yang Tree.

From a distance, the Yin-Yang Tree still appears vibrant and lush, with a thick and upright trunk.

However, when Fang Han approached and observed it closely, he discovered that the Yin-Yang Tree had some subtle differences.

Its leaves are no longer as lush and green as before, but are tinged with yellow and the edges are slightly curled; the patterns on the trunk have also become somewhat blurred, as if they are being eroded by an invisible force.

"It seems we need to set up a chilling formation here to gather the chilling energy on the mountaintop."

Fang Han's heart stirred, and an idea suddenly came to mind.

He knew that the Yin-Yang Tree depended on the Yin-Yang energy, and now that the Yin-Yang energy in Yin-Yang Mountain was gradually dissipating, measures had to be taken to protect the Yin-Yang Tree.

So, Fang Han began to get busy at the top of Yin Yang Mountain, setting up the Yin Cold Array.
