The Luofeng River flows mightily, seemingly mocking their wasted efforts.
Ji Guangqi, a Transcending Tribulation Saint of the Taixu Sect, originally thought that with the Beast Taming Sect's strength weakened, the Phoenix Divine Beast was his for the taking.
Little did he know that he not only failed to obtain the phoenix divine beast, but also, because he was the fastest running underground and was at the forefront, he was bitten by the fire snake.
With his cultivation level as a Transcending Tribulation Saint, a small fire snake naturally couldn't harm him.
But his pride was hurt by this little fire snake.
Several Transcending Tribulation Saints from other sects walked past him, all laughing loudly and telling him to be careful. They said that with his old bones and slow reaction time, he shouldn't rush forward too much and should leave the opportunity to charge into battle to the younger generation.
This made him extremely angry.
He knew that it was cultivators from other sects provoking and mocking him.
He put in a lot of effort to suppress his anger, thinking that he would settle accounts with them slowly after he found the Phoenix Divine Beast and formed a contract with it.
They didn't find the Phoenix Divine Beast, but they heard that it was very likely stolen by a cultivator or a demon beast.
He and a group of old fellows who had undergone tribulation angrily rushed to the ravaged valley and carefully extracted the aura.
But nothing was extracted; all that remained was the stench of decaying soil and fallen leaves.
Ji Guangqi was filled with hatred. He was indeed the oldest among all the Transcending Tribulation Saints, nearly 100,000 years old.
If he doesn't ascend soon, his life force will begin to decline.
By then, he would have no chance of ascending to heaven.
Originally, the phoenix mythical beast brought him hope.
Just like the Venerable Qingyang back then, who was able to advance all the way through the cultivation of the divine beast Black Dragon and finally ascend to immortality.
He had it all planned out. In the early stages, his cultivation was high enough to help the phoenix advance. Later, as a member of the divine beasts, the phoenix had greater potential than him and could carry him to ascension.
He had planned everything so perfectly, yet the Phoenix Beast was stolen.
So far, it is still unknown whether it was stolen by a cultivator or a demon beast.
Anyway, the teleportation talisman eventually disappeared in that damned river.
Unable to contain his anger, Ji Guangqi slapped Luo Fenghe with his palm.
The Luofeng River surged with towering waves, sending countless fish, shrimp, and other river creatures soaring into the air before shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight as they fell back into the river.
In the middle of the Luofeng River, a huge crater appeared because of Ji Guangqi's palm strike.
The Luofeng River appeared to have been dammed, with towering waves hundreds of feet high rising upstream.
The giant wave crashed down, plunging into the huge pit and splashing up even higher sprays that spread in all directions, causing the upstream river water to flow backward and churn up even higher waves.
All the cultivators standing by the river took to the air.
At this moment, no one laughed at Ji Guangqi.
Everyone's thoughts were on Luofeng River.
Two days and two nights had passed between when they received the message and when they arrived at the Luofeng River.
In the past two days and two nights, those cultivators or demonic beasts that teleported into the river must have already traveled eight hundred miles.
What a pity about the phoenix eggs; I wonder if they'll ever be able to find them again.
This damned Luofeng River, why did it have to flood at this time of year, making their search even more difficult?
Even if it's difficult, they have to search.
They searched with that one in ten thousand chance.
Soon, the cultivators discussed and devised a search plan.
The Zixia Sect, Chaoyuan Sect, and Qingyun Sect searched downstream.
The Taixu Sect and the Beast Taming Sect searched upstream.
On the other side of the river, the downstream area is divided among various associations and the alliance of independent cultivators, while the upstream area is where the evil cultivators, after years of struggle, have finally gained a place in the Immortal Spirit Continent, so let them search for it.
Soon, a large search net was spread along both banks of the Luofeng River.
Even when the Luofeng River is in its flood season.
The divine senses of the numerous Mahayana cultivators who had transcended tribulations could penetrate the water.
They quickly demarcated the areas and each went into their respective search zones.
Zhong Lingxin knew as soon as she fell into the water that the searching monks would soon catch up with her.
As soon as she fell into the water, she swam quickly downstream in the direction of the current.
The further downstream you go, the flatter the terrain becomes, the wider the water surface becomes, and the more aquatic creatures there are.
She was looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to get inside the water monster's belly.
In the rushing river, a group of golden carp are battling two black pythons.
Two black pythons coiled at the bottom of the water, their mouths wide open, biting at one golden carp after another.
Every year during the flood season, it's a prime time for them to eat golden carp.
Although the golden carp are not large, they are full of spiritual energy, especially their two red whiskers, which contain pure spiritual energy and are the black python's favorite.
Every year during the flood season, the goldfish migrate upstream and fight the black python once a year.
They were already prepared for battle.
As soon as the black python appeared, the two golden carp leading the way leaped out of the water and shot two jets of water at the black python.
The golden carp behind them all leaped out of the water, and countless water arrows shot towards the black python's eyes.
The black python was forced to close its eyes and hide.
This is the moment the golden koi have been waiting for.
Countless small goldfish rushed downstream.
Seeing this, Zhong Lingxin also rushed through the black python's blockade with the little golden carp.
At this moment, she didn't want to clash with any demonic beasts; she just wanted to rush over as quickly as possible.
The black python didn't sense any cultivator rushing past; it opened its eyes and spewed out a giant wave.
The giant wave carried countless water jets, shooting towards the golden carp that had just fallen back into the river.
The two largest golden carp discovered Zhong Lingxin.
One of them opened its big mouth and bit at Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin darted forward and entered the golden carp's mouth. Then, with a quick movement, she slipped the Nine-Layered Pagoda into the golden carp's cheek and disappeared into the pagoda.
The Nine-Story Pagoda is not yet fully open, so Zhong Lingxin cannot see the outside from inside the pagoda, but she can hear the sounds from outside.
Hanging it near the golden carp's gills allowed her to hear outside sounds while also making it easy for her to slip out at any time—it was the best option she could have.
The golden carp is big enough, and its gills are also big enough.
The tiny nine-tiered pagoda hung on the golden carp's gills like a small grain of sand, completely unnoticed by anyone in the swollen and murky river.
Even the golden carp itself didn't realize that something like sand had been stuffed into its cheeks.
It's just that it's gotten too clogged these days; rinsing it with river water a couple of times will clear it up.
The Mahayana cultivators who had come from both sides of the river searched for cultivators and demonic beasts in the river with their divine senses, while continuously harvesting spiritual herbs and minerals from the river.
Although the golden carp had fresh meat and abundant spiritual energy, it was still not worth their time compared to the spiritual herbs and minerals that filled the river.
Zhong Lingxin clung to the golden carp's gills, feeling the carp swim frantically again and again, only to calm down once more.
Time passed day after day.
The flood season on the Luofeng River is finally over.
The water in Luofeng River has finally become clear.
The group of cultivators, having gained nothing, finally retreated unwillingly.
Only a few cultivators stubbornly continued their search along both sides of the Fallen Phoenix River.
