[I accidentally uploaded chapters from the new book to the old one while I was still a bit dizzy. I had no choice but to split chapters 186 and 187 into three chapters. Those who have already read them don't need to read them again! Sorry!]
"The Immortal Venerable is 302 years old, making him the longest-lived person in the cultivation world!"
Yunhan spoke these words with a deep sense of admiration in her eyes.
"Wow, over three hundred years old, that's incredibly long-lived," Sheng Wanwan exclaimed, her longing for the path of cultivation growing stronger. If she could cultivate, could she live that long, or even longer?
"By the way, if you say that, then my elder brother and the Crown Prince must have already arrived at the Noble Immortal Sect. May I ask, Brother Yun, where are they? Why aren't they coming out to greet Wanwan?"
Sheng Wanwan continued to ask. Given how much her elder brother doted on her, he would definitely come out to greet her if he knew she was coming.
Since they haven't come, they probably aren't here.
As expected, Yun Han smiled and said, "Your elder brother, that Crown Prince, and the Immortal Venerable are not at the mountain gate. They went to the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom to search for the drought demon's whereabouts!"
"What? There really is a drought demon? And it even broke out of the seal?" Sheng Wanwan asked in surprise, her face turning slightly pale.
"Indeed, it did, and it almost broke free of the seal three hundred years ago. At that time, the Immortal Sect invited all the immortal sects in the world to work together to reinforce the seal."
But three years ago, the seal suddenly disappeared. When the immortals and elders went to check, the drought demon inside had vanished without a trace.
For years, the Immortal Sect and various reclusive immortal sects have been searching for the drought demon's whereabouts, but without success. Two days ago, a disciple reported finding a thatched hut on the outskirts of Liang Kingdom's capital. The area around the hut was barren, the ground cracked and parched, suggesting the drought demon may have been there. Therefore, the Ancestor and the Immortal Venerable set off overnight to search for the drought demon's tracks.
Yunhan said as she walked up the mountain.
"So drought demons really do exist! If they really do exist, what should we do? Brother Yun, does the immortal sect have any way to kill drought demons?"
Sheng Wanwan asked with a frown.
"No, we are just looking for the drought demon. Once we find it, the Penglai Immortal Sect will mobilize all cultivators in the world to discuss how to deal with it!"
"But if the drought demon is really as powerful as the legends say, even if all the cultivators in the world were gathered together, they might not be able to defeat it." Yun Han took over Sheng Wanwan's words and said with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wanwan's little face was full of worry. "What should we do? The drought demon is so powerful. If it really wreaks havoc on the world, wouldn't it become a calamity for the whole world?"
Yun Han sighed, "Yes, hundreds of years ago the seal loosened, and the drought demon's energy leaked out, causing a three-year drought in the Great Liang Kingdom."
The drought demon's power is indeed not to be underestimated. But for now, we can only do our best to find its whereabouts first, and then figure out a way to deal with it. Don't worry, our Penglai Immortal Sect and all the cultivators in the world will do everything in our power to protect the people.”
Sheng Wanwan nodded upon hearing this, but she was not optimistic.
As they were talking, the two arrived at the main hall of the Penglai Immortal Sect. As soon as they entered the hall, three old men with white hair and beards surrounded them.
"Hehe, you're the legendary little goddess of the Great Yan Kingdom with top-grade spiritual roots?"
One of the men, a short, elderly man with a long beard, looked at Sheng Wanwan with a smile and asked her a question.
Sheng Wanwan was taken aback by the enthusiasm of these elderly people, but she still nodded obediently, "Grandpa, I am Sheng Wanwan."
"Good! A year ago, an outer disciple reported that a young girl with a spiritual root had appeared in the capital city. I thought you also had an ordinary spiritual root. But recently, I've heard many rumors about you, and with the golden light of merit emanating from you, I can tell that your spiritual root level must be very high."
"Little girl, come here! Put your hand here, I'll test your spiritual root level..."
The old man warmly led Sheng Wanwan to a huge rock. The rock was entirely black, but its surface shimmered with a faint silver light, as if it contained stars.
It stands quietly in a corner of the main hall, silently telling the story of the vicissitudes of time and its mysterious power.
Sheng Wanwan looked at the boulder with curiosity and a little nervousness, and then, following the old man's instructions, gently placed her hand on the boulder.
The moment her hand touched the boulder, the shimmering light on its surface suddenly intensified, initially appearing silver. But slowly, the silver light transformed into a pale gold, growing richer and richer until it finally became pure gold. It shone brilliantly, illuminating the entire hall in a golden splendor, as if bathed in the sun's rays.
The golden light flowed between the boulder and Sheng Wanwan, like a golden ribbon tightly connecting her to the boulder.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. They stared intently at Sheng Wanwan and the boulder, their mouths agape in disbelief...
