48: Vision of Dan

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

And the celestial phenomenon above the Floating Cloud Sect in Yue Country grew increasingly dense.

Seeing this scene, the Cultivators of Yue Country couldn't help but be overjoyed.

During these ten years, Cultivators from the Three Great Countries had continuously harassed the borders of Yue Country, and numerous rumors flew everywhere.

This caused many Cultivators in Yue Country to feel extremely panicked.

Initially, they didn't believe it, until the spiritual energy across the entire Yue Country suddenly dropped significantly. They then knew that the only Jie Dan Cultivator in Yue Country, Floating Cloud True Person, had died!

If a Jie Dan Cultivator could not emerge in Yue Country within ten years, then Yue Country would become prey for other countries.

And the numerous Cultivators of Yue Country would become vassals of other countries, and Yue Country would cease to exist.

"Lord Cloud Maple of the Floating Cloud Sect is our savior!"

"Only if Lord Cloud Maple achieves Dan Formation can our Yue Country survive!"

Throughout Yue Country, Cultivators constantly looked towards the direction of the Floating Cloud Sect.

In their eyes, Cloud Maple was now the lifeline of Yue Country. If Cloud Maple failed to achieve Dan Formation, they too would become mere dogs.

Outside the National Lockdown Formation, the Cultivators from the three countries were also standing by, fully prepared.

There were only three months left until Luo He's ten-year agreement.

Yuan Yi stood high in the sky, looking down upon Yue Country, her gaze fixed on the Floating Cloud Sect, where the monstrous spiritual energy anomaly was occurring, yet her expression remained emotionless.

Several Disciples beside her watched this scene and began to speculate.

"Revered Master, looking at this anomaly from the Floating Cloud Sect, it seems someone from the Floating Cloud Sect is about to achieve Dan Formation!"

"Doesn't that mean we'll return empty-handed?"

"Dan Formation? Heh heh!"

Who would have thought that Yuan Yi would actually laugh, seemingly completely dismissing this possibility.

This caused the Disciples beside her to look at each other in dismay. If even such an anomaly couldn't lead to successful Dan Formation, then how difficult must Dan Formation be?

"Observe carefully, but whether this anomaly can lead to Dan Formation is still a matter of debate!"

Yuan Yi had experienced the matter of Dan Formation herself, and the process of Dan Formation was still vivid in her memory.

The final hurdle of Dan Formation wasn't about having stronger spiritual energy; the ultimate key lay in the formation of the core!

Indeed, after a few hours, the anomaly showed subtle signs of instability.

Moreover, it was constantly losing ground, and the entire spiritual energy vortex even showed signs of collapsing.

The numerous Cultivators of Yue Country immediately turned pale upon seeing this scene.

"Is Lord Cloud Maple's Dan Formation going to fail?"

As time passed, the Dan Formation anomaly gradually dissipated.

However, not a trace of Dan Formation aura was emitted from the Floating Cloud Sect.

The Cultivators of Yue Country were instantly terrified and disheartened by this scene.

"Failed!"

"Lord Cloud Maple's Dan Formation failed!!"

"What should we do now!"

Compared to the wails of the Yue Country Cultivators, the Cultivators from the Three Great Countries revealed looks of wild joy.

"Hahaha, no one in Yue Country can attempt Dan Formation anymore, and they are about to become our prisoners!

At Lingmiao Market, Water Lingmiao watched this scene, unsure whether to feel happy or regretful.

Although she might not suffer retaliation from the Floating Cloud Sect in the future, the price was becoming a slave of a conquered nation.

A hint of sadness in her eyes, she looked towards the distant mountains and rivers, seeing only a hazy expanse, and murmured.

"Xu Qi'an, are you still in Yue Country? Why has there been no news for ten years..."

Upon seeing Cloud Maple's demise, the Disciples beside Yuan Yi showed deep admiration when they looked at their True Person.

"Revered Master is too amazing!"

Yuan Yi chuckled, as if everything was within her grasp.

"Ten years? What if we gave Yue Country another ten years?"

"They still wouldn't be able to produce a decent Jie Dan Cultivator!"

At the same time, the two Jie Dan Cultivators, Daoist Wu and Chu Wu, also arrived before Yuan Yi.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, in my opinion, no one in Yue Country can attempt Dan Formation anymore, so let's make our move!" Daoist Wu was the first to speak.

Chu Wu clenched his fist and said with full certainty, "I also think there's no need to wait any longer. There are only three months left. Although it hasn't reached the envoy's deadline yet, I believe the envoy won't blame us!"

Yuan Yi was silent for a moment, not answering, but she had the same thought in her heart. At this point, who else could achieve Dan Formation?

"Then, without further ado, let's break open this National Lockdown Formation."

However, at this moment, a powerful spiritual energy vortex unexpectedly emerged from an inconspicuous small mountain in Yue Country.

Yuan Yi and the other two were greatly startled, all showing surprised expressions: "What is happening!"

"Someone is actually achieving Dan Formation!"

Such a situation was not only confusing for the Cultivators of the Three Great Countries but also for the Cultivators of Yue Country, though joy soon followed.

"No matter who this person is, as long as he succeeds in Dan Formation! The disaster of Yue Country can be resolved!"

At this moment, the Cultivators of Yue Country were more united than ever!

"Although I don't know who you are, please keep going!"

"You must succeed in Dan Formation! The lives of tens of millions in Yue Country are in your hands!"

"Keep going!"

"You must keep going!"

Water Lingmiao, Shui Ling'er, and others were among them, silently praying.

Lingmiao Market, Lingmiao Pavilion.

Water Lingmiao stood by the window, gazing into the distance. That place was an extremely ordinary location.

Not only was the spiritual energy sparse, but it also had no fame whatsoever. Not even Mortals would live there.

But now, someone was achieving Dan Formation at that very spot!

"Revered Master, do you think the Cultivator who is currently achieving Dan Formation could be Chu Senior!"

Water Lingmiao didn't know how to answer, because when she talked to Xu Qi'an before, he told her he was from another country.

But the aura emanating from the current Dan Formation clearly belonged to Yue Country.

"Xu Qi'an, you really tricked me badly!"

She then took Shui Ling'er's hand and smiled, "Since we don't know, why not go and take a look? Then we'll understand, won't we?"

Immediately, Water Lingmiao and the other person transformed into two streaks of spiritual light and disappeared from the pavilion.

That's right, the one currently achieving Dan Formation was indeed Xu Qi'an.

Meanwhile, more and more Cultivators were rushing towards Xu Qi'an's location.

But when they arrived, they discovered that there was actually a Foundation Establishment Peak stage Black Water Spiritual Flood Dragon here!

The Spiritual Flood Dragon was dozens of feet long, coiled on the mountain Peak, constantly spitting out water barriers to cover the area.

Just the water waves it emitted were comparable to Foundation Establishment Early Stage Spells, which caused the faces of the Cultivators who came to investigate to change dramatically.

"As expected of a powerful Cultivator who can achieve Dan Formation, he actually has such a Spiritual Flood Dragon as a pet!"

"That's right, that's right!"

And as soon as Water Lingmiao and the others arrived, their faces immediately bloomed with joy.

"It's that Black Water Spiritual Flood Dragon!"

"Then the one in seclusion attempting Dan Formation must be Chu Senior!"

Shui Ling'er spoke first, and these words also resonated in Water Lingmiao's heart.

"It seems it must be Xu Qi'an!"

"But didn't Xu Qi'an give away the Dustfall Pill?"

"How can he still achieve Dan Formation?"

"Xu Qi'an has too many secrets!"

The aura of Dan Formation grew stronger and stronger, the spiritual energy vortex piercing through the entire mountain like a funnel.

Finally, the spiritual energy stabilized and all fell into the mountain.

Then, to the surprise of everyone present, a powerful aura of a Core Formation Stage Cultivator surged forth.

Everyone present knew that the Cultivator in the mountain had achieved Dan Formation!

And as this Cultivator stepped into Dan Formation, the overall spiritual energy of Yue Country completely returned to its previous level.
