The night was as dark as ink, boundless and vast, quietly shrouding the entire world in a deep gloom.

Fang Han stood on a flying sword, his posture as upright as a pine tree, riding the wind above the majestic Yin-Yang Mountain.

His cultivation level is no longer what it used to be, and his strength is now vastly different. Naturally, he no longer needs to deliberately hide his whereabouts and act discreetly as he used to.

In this way, he can use his methods more freely and investigate in depth what kind of changes have occurred in Yin-Yang Mountain.

Yin Yang Mountain—the very name itself exudes an indescribable eeriness and mystery.

At this moment, layers upon layers of dreamlike mist surged through the mountains, as if a corner of the world's oldest secret was being quietly unveiled.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the mountains stretched endlessly, and the strange cries of monsters rose and fell, adding an ominous atmosphere to the quiet night.

Even with Fang Han's extraordinary eyesight, it was difficult to completely penetrate the layers of fog and see the true situation deep within Yin Yang Mountain.

However, with his powerful divine sense, he could vaguely sense where powerful demonic beasts were lurking in the mountains. Their existence was like a light in the dark night, subtle yet not to be ignored.

"The sheer number of demonic beasts in Yin-Yang Mountain is astonishing. Why would these beasts leave Yin-Yang Mountain, which they consider sacred, in the dead of night?"

Fang Han pondered to himself. As far as his eyes could see, groups of demonic beasts were pouring out of Yin Yang Mountain and heading towards the outskirts of Tianyi City and the surrounding hills.

For these monsters, Yin-Yang Mountain is undoubtedly their paradise and blessed land.

This place is rich in spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for cultivation. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here, the demon beasts can grow stronger day by day.

Moreover, the mountains also contain countless rare and precious materials, which can greatly benefit the growth and evolution of monsters.

Therefore, for many years, Yin Yang Mountain has been a sacred place where monsters dwell, breed, and multiply, and their numbers have been increasing day by day, and their power has become increasingly great.

However, this unusual phenomenon filled Fang Han with doubt and curiosity.

He did not rush to land on Yin-Yang Mountain, but chose to continue hovering in the air on his sword, carefully observing all the changes in the mountain.

This observation led him to discover many astonishing secrets.

It turned out that Yin Yang Mountain not only had countless beast soldiers, beast generals, and lord-level monsters, but also many powerful beings at the beast king level. In fact, he vaguely sensed a terrifying aura belonging to the beast emperor level, which made him secretly alarmed.

After hovering over Yin-Yang Mountain for a long time, Fang Han noticed a subtle but significant change. Yin-Yang Mountain used to always give people a feeling of being cold and biting, and even in the height of summer, there was a cool breeze in the mountains that made people feel refreshed.

However, now, a warm atmosphere permeates the area, as if an invisible force is quietly changing this ancient mountain range.

All of this fueled Fang Han's curiosity and desire to explore the strange changes that had occurred at Yin Yang Mountain.

During his flight on his sword, Fang Han keenly sensed something unusual.

The closer he got to the highest peak of Yin-Yang Mountain, the more clearly he could feel a surge of intense heat rising from the mountain, as if an invisible furnace was burning fiercely inside the mountain, constantly pushing out rolling waves of heat.

It was the dead of winter, and in some areas outside of Yin-Yang Mountain, the biting wind swept across the land like a knife, creating a desolate scene.

Logically speaking, Yin Yang Mountain is towering into the clouds, and its summit is covered with snow all year round. Even if it doesn't snow occasionally, the streams and lakes in the mountain will surely be covered with thick ice, creating a scene of ice and snow all around.

However, the Yin-Yang Mountain in front of us is completely out of place with the atmosphere of this cold winter.

The temperature here has not only not dropped, but is actually much higher than in autumn.

A warm atmosphere permeated the mountains, making the plants and trees that should have been sealed by ice and snow faintly reveal a trace of vitality, as if spring had arrived on this mountain ahead of schedule.

"With such high temperatures, won't the Yin-Yang Tree suffer any problems?"

Fang Han's heart tightened suddenly, and a sense of worry welled up in his heart.

It is important to know that the Yin-Yang Tree is an extremely special spiritual plant with very demanding requirements for its growing environment. It can only grow and thrive in a place where extreme Yin and Yang intertwine and reach a delicate balance.

Yin-Yang Mountain is such a unique and blessed place. The earth fire and the cold yin energy in the mountain restrain and depend on each other, creating a unique environment suitable for the survival of the Yin-Yang Tree.

But at this moment, Fang Han clearly felt that the Yin and Yang energies in Yin Yang Mountain had lost their former balance.

The earth fire and the cold yin energy, which were originally in a state of mutual restraint, now seem to have gained the upper hand, causing a huge change in the climate of the entire Yin-Yang Mountain.

Soon, Fang Han flew to the top of Yin Yang Mountain on his sword and landed steadily near the small lake where the golden dragon was hiding.

This small lake, usually sparkling with clear water, is surrounded by lush trees, like a bright pearl set on the mountaintop.

However, at this moment, Fang Han could clearly feel that the air here had become hot and dry, and a thin layer of water vapor was rising from the surface of the lake.

Whoosh!

Just as Fang Han was about to use his divine sense to search for the golden dragon, suddenly, a clear sound of water rang out, and then the golden dragon's huge body suddenly emerged from the small lake.

Its two horns on its head have grown quite a bit, making it look majestic.

"Master, I was just looking for you!"

Upon seeing Fang Han, the golden dragon immediately transmitted its thoughts to him through divine sense, its voice filled with anxiety and worry, "Something has happened at Yin Yang Mountain! The subterranean fire beneath this lake is burning brighter and brighter for some reason. The temperature of this small lake where I'm hiding is also rising, and the water is becoming scalding hot. I estimate that in another half month, this place will be completely unsuitable for my cultivation. Moreover, the Yin Yang Tree will probably have to be transplanted, otherwise, it will wither sooner or later in such a scorching environment."
