474: Who is the breakthrough player?

As the blood-Red Rain poured down and flowed incessantly, more and more players began to research the historical records of Nascent Soul Breakthrough phenomena.

Eastern Region East was a barren and bitterly cold land; there were very few recorded Nascent Soul Cultivators, and almost no accounts of Breakthrough phenomena had been passed down.

Fortunately, the map had been opened, allowing everyone to enter areas like Yanwang Prefecture for exploration, which was how they came to understand the general circumstances of a Nascent Soul Breakthrough.

The Immortal Foundation Golden Core Dao Lineage, also known as the Five Elements Dao Lineage, had a cultivation Foundation based on gathering the world's Five Elements spiritual energy within oneself and then resonating with heaven and earth.

Therefore, every Breakthrough would trigger a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, appearing particularly astounding and often envied by Cultivators of other Dao Lineages.

The higher the Realm of the Breakthrough, the more astounding the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon it would trigger.

At the Nascent Soul level, it could trigger a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon covering tens of thousands of miles and lasting for decades.

The vastness of its range and its long duration shocked all the players.

Some players who had originally settled in the Green Emerald Mountains looked at each other in dismay, their faces showing bitter expressions; feeling somewhat helpless, they began to complain one after another:

“In other words, this Red Rain will continue for decades?”

“Won't the Green Emerald Mountains turn into a Great Green Emerald Lake then?”

“Damn it, I just borrowed money to build a Sect here, and I haven't even started running it yet. How can it all be destroyed?”

The Green Emerald Mountains were originally called the Efeng Mountain Range; the name was changed after it hosted the fall of the Green Emerald Grotto-heaven, and it thus became a precious training ground for a vast number of new players.

In order to better develop this mountain range and gather more new players, many Veteran Players had invested in establishing Sect forces here.

Furthermore, since the Green Emerald Mountains were located in the central part of Eastern Region East and connected the eastern and western plates, they were favored by many large player forces, who set up Branch Sects here.

No one expected that a mysterious Heaven and Earth Phenomenon would suddenly submerge the entire mountain range with Red Rain, completely destroying countless businesses.

Besides the Green Emerald Mountains, the players on the Southern Bank of the Great River within the borders of the former Great Jiang Dynasty were also full of sorrow.

After the Red Rain poured down, the Great River immediately flooded, submerging both banks and continuing to spread, destroying everything in its path.

By the time it reached Great River City, the state-stabilizing seal finally took action, constructing a Formation to resist the flood; only then was it stopped, saving the most important major city for new players.

Seeing that the flood could be stopped, some Immortal Foundation and Golden Core Playerss also took action out of curiosity, setting up Formations at various key points to resist the flood.

At first, this was indeed effective, but as time passed, the flood became increasingly turbulent, actually breaking through the Formation platforms and carving out riverbeds directly into the mountains; it then roared down like water from the heavens, smashing into the plains and creating a great lake.

Only then did the players realize that this Red Rain was not a technique used by a Cultivator, but a phenomenon triggered by resonating with heaven and earth.

If they wanted to block the flood, they would have to oppose the momentum of heaven and earth, something only a Fourth-Rank Cultivator like the state-stabilizing seal could barely manage.

After understanding this, the players became increasingly alarmed by the person behind the phenomenon, growing more certain that this was not a phenomenon of failure, but rather one of success.

Wen Xinghai and others also had similar suspicions.

The various measures originally aimed at Duan Kong Cave were temporarily halted, and some Golden Core Playerss who had already moved into the interior of Duan Kong Cave were withdrawn.

Wen Xinghai suspected that this was very likely the Breakthrough phenomenon of the Ancestor of Duankong Cave.

He personally flew above the surging flood to investigate the specific situation.

The Red Rain was not simple rainwater; it contained Blood Fiend Qi. Mortals touched by it would become irritable and crave slaughter, Qi Refining Cultivators would very likely suffer from Qi Deviation, and even Mortal Foundation Cultivators would find their energy circulation impeded.

Immortal Foundation Cultivators could hold out in the Red Rain for a while, but depending on their Dao Cultivation, they would still be affected after a certain amount of time, manifesting as blocked breathing and unstable state of mind; staying in the Red Rain for a long time would even lead to Qi Deviation.

Only a Golden Core True Person could rely on their abundant spiritual energy to protect their entire body and avoid being affected by the Red Rain.

But this was already enough to shock Wen Xinghai.

Not long ago, he had just finished his secluded cultivation and mastered a Divine Ability, which also resonated with heaven and earth and brought down a phenomenon.

At that time, heavy rain poured down, covering the entire Dragon Seeking City, and its corrosiveness could even affect Qi Refining Cultivators.

At that time, some players even speculated whether he had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, all being awed by the phenomenon.

Although he himself did not believe a Nascent Soul phenomenon would only be like that, he also thought it shouldn't be too different.

Now, he realized he was wrong.

Because the state-stabilizing seal had been showing goodwill for a long time and Feng Chuan had been victimized by Sacred Emperor Mountain, the players' awe of the Fourth-Rank had been diminishing.

“Still too arrogant...”

Wen Xinghai looked at the Green Emerald Mountains, which had turned into a Red Marsh, and squeezed these words out from his throat, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

The situation in Eastern Region East was finally about to settle down, with players becoming completely dominant.

If a Nascent Soul True Lord were to pop up at this time... “This is a big problem...”

Wen Xinghai rubbed his temples and paused for a while. Seeing that the phenomenon was still stable, he intended to head back.

But just then, a burst of dazzling white light suddenly appeared to the east of the Green Emerald Mountains, clearly someone casting a spell to set up a Formation.

He was suddenly startled and hurriedly flew out.

“Wang Long?!”

He saw that Wang Long had found a commanding peak; a stone bed was placed in front of him, surrounded by Formation platforms and piled with various spiritual resources.

Other players like Ye Chun were also around, all gathered nearby.

Wen Xinghai slapped his head, finally understanding.

They were going to guide the fall of a Grotto-heaven!

This matter had always been led by Wang Long, Ye Chun, and others; he knew about it and had a share in the interests, but he hadn't followed up on it constantly, thinking it was still early.

But he never expected that today, of all days, Wang Long would be Guiding the Grotto-heaven.

“What's going on? Didn't you say it would take a few more years to prepare? Why the sudden action?”

Hearing his inquiry, Wang Long looked up and replied:

“Now is the best time. We can utilize the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon to forcibly guide the Grotto-heaven; the success rate won't be low.”

Wen Xinghai frowned: “Utilize? But is it the same Dao Lineage?”

Wang Long nodded: “Although it's a branch that took an evil path, it can be considered to have the same origin, so it can be utilized.”

Wen Xinghai was momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat at a loss.

How could the Dao Lineage practiced by the Ancestor of Duankong Cave have the same origin as the Void Gazer Dao Lineage?

Unless... unless... “The one breaking through isn't the Ancestor of Duankong Cave?”

Wen Xinghai couldn't help but ask aloud, looking curiously at the other players around him, only to see that they were also surprised, clearly unaware of this.

They must have just been keeping an eye on Wang Long at all times, which was why they arrived immediately, but they didn't know the inside story.

At this moment, Ye Chun thought for a moment and asked, “Was it something Immortal Master Moon Abyss inside you said?”

Another player exclaimed, “Moon Abyss? If he said so, then could it be that the one breaking through isn't someone from Duan Kong Cave, but that Star Fiend who went missing long ago?”
