Chapter 306: A Glimpse of Thousands of Miles

The rock was not large.

In a landscape surrounded by mountains and bizarre stone formations, it seemed quite ordinary.

Yet, he had noticed this rock. It resembled the Eye of the Massive Stone, effortlessly locking onto the most extraordinary sights.

On the surface, the rock appeared unremarkable.

It occupied an unassuming spot, merely hidden deep within the Falling Star Mountain Range, which spanned thousands of miles from north to south, an expanse where great, boundless beasts roamed.

The surroundings of the rock were empty and silent.

Apart from the flowers and trees, there were no living creatures.

However, those flowers, those grasses, and those trees exuded a powerful illusion, as if the rock itself bestowed upon them an unnatural strength.

At that moment, the rock basked in the sunlight, trembling slightly, with faint cracks appearing on its surface, as if something mysterious was about to emerge from within.

Bathed in this light, the rock resembled an egg made of stone. Yet, it bore no characteristics of an egg at all; it was purely stone.

"Is it nurturing the essence of the Falling Star Mountain Range, giving birth to a special life?"

Zhang Yang was not surprised.

He had heard many times that, in the era before Eternal Night, even a single blade of grass could achieve immortality, a mere stone could suppress an entire world, and a grain of sand could drown an ocean.

Today, both Chi Zhenyi and Shui Lianyi had murmured that the unprecedented era to come might very well shatter the Eternal Night and give rise to countless mysteries.

He attempted to see through the rock, but an invisible force obstructed him, as though the rock possessed its own power.

He shifted his gaze.

The second thing that caught his eye lay within a mountain.

The mountain’s interior was hazy, seemingly filled with countless wonders, yet obscured from clear sight. At its center sat a treasure vase.

The vase had a slender neck and a rounded opening, from which tiny, glowing stars continuously poured forth.

Zhang Yang’s brows furrowed.

These glowing stars were far beyond mere holy light. Even compared to the Immortal Light wielded by the Thunder Saint Monarch, they represented a higher form of celestial radiance.

Merely witnessing a fraction of these stars left him in a trance. His subconscious yearned to see deeper into them, believing that even the slightest touch could bring him monumental benefits, yet he still could not see through.

Once again, he was blocked.

The third sight that entered his vision was another mountain.

On the face of a towering cliff, despite its rugged surface of rocks and trees, there was an image of a figure, hazy and indistinct.

The specific posture of the figure eluded him, but through the Eye of the Massive Stone that had been bestowed upon him, he discerned that this figure was slowly taking form, its presence accompanied by faint fluctuations of life energy.

The sight reminded him of the Daybreak Phoenix Ruins, where the white-haired youth had absorbed his blood to awaken.

Could this be a similar phenomenon?

If so, how powerful would this forming figure be? Would it be a saint upon emergence?

The fourth thing that caught his eye was an Ancient Tree.

Its trunk was as thick as a mountain.

Its crown resembled a floating castle.

But the most astonishing part was that the massive Ancient Tree was breathing.

"Incredible."

"The Falling Star Mountain Range conceals so many mysteries."

One after another, countless other wondrous sights entered his view, each bearing its own peculiarities and secrets.

The entire Falling Star Mountain Range was filled with scenes that had only existed in legends.

After observing for a while, he began to feel somewhat numb.

With a thought, he expanded his vision.

Then, the familiar blur reappeared, and his perspective shifted to encompass the entirety of the Falling Star Mountain Range, spanning two to three thousand miles outward.

It was as if the entire world had been compressed into his field of vision.

He then saw the Green Sparrow Palace.

As his desire to look deeper intensified, his focus shifted, and everything within the Green Sparrow Palace filled his sight, making all else fade away.

People gathered around the Green Sparrow Palace, mostly drawn there out of curiosity.

The people of the Southern Region regarded the Green Sparrow Palace with deep reverence, much like they did the Vast Forest.

Moreover, the palace’s forbidden laws were already in effect, making it nearly impossible for anyone other than saints to break through.

Inside the Green Sparrow Palace, the Ironback Blue Bull remained in deep slumber. Green light flickered around him, and his breath carried an overwhelming power—one typical of those in the Opening the Sky realm. His cultivation had reached an astonishing depth.

A third of the holy beast’s sacred pill had produced incredible effects on him.

The Ironback Blue Bull’s accumulated strength and latent potential had erupted all at once due to that fraction of the holy beast’s sacred pill, resulting in a truly meteoric rise in power.

He was on the verge of a significant breakthrough, not in realm, but in body, roots, potential, talent, and the limits of his future growth.

Of course, the Ironback Blue Bull was also nearing the point of emerging from seclusion.

Yuluan, however, remained in seclusion.

It had to be said, her growth had slightly exceeded Zhang Yang’s expectations.

Once she broke through her inner shackles, she underwent an extreme transformation, further propelled by the complete awakening of her Chi Dragon royal bloodline.

It was as if she had stirred the most mysterious, rare, and formidable lineage of the supreme Female Battle God. Though not fully awakened, this bloodline had surfaced following the total awakening of the Chi Dragon royal heritage, triggering a subtle yet profound transformation.

It was easy to imagine how much Yuluan would continue to evolve.

One could only speculate about the depth and might of the incomprehensible supreme Female Battle God’s bloodline, Yuluan possessed merely a thread of it.

Additionally, the Silver Dragon Holy Sword had already been fully refined.

Zhang Yang sighed. Some individuals truly made countless martial artists envious.

Speaking of Yuluan, in the grand scheme of the Southern Region, she was considered an ordinary genius.

However, thanks to her bloodline, she had not relied on talent, roots, or potential to rise. Instead, she ascended to the pinnacle of genius within the Southern Region purely through her own growth.

No one knew where her limits lay, as she still had that profound and mysterious bloodline left to explore, an inheritance that, under normal circumstances, would never awaken. And yet, it remained a beacon of possibility.

That was Yuluan.

Of course, Yuluan was much like Zhang Yang, Xue Feishuang, and even the Vast Forest, each representing a hidden card.

Ordinary, yet transformed into one of the top geniuses of the Southern Region.

This was the Vast Forest’s approach. It would not suppress anyone’s opportunity to defy fate but would offer a certain degree of support, everything else depended on the individual.

This philosophy starkly contrasted with that of the Southern Region and the vast world beyond.

Elsewhere, one needed status, position, background, and potential to advance.

Yet, it was those mortals who defied fate that most unsettled the world.

Yuluan accompanied Xue Feishuang on her adventures, often acting as a maid or an assistant, drawing little attention to herself.

However, thanks to Xue Feishuang, upon careful reflection, people would remember that Yuluan, too, was an extraordinary genius, undeniably so.

Of course, neither Zhang Yang nor Xue Feishuang had ever deliberately sought to elevate her. It had all happened naturally.

Many times, it was not about offering unwavering support to guarantee someone’s rise; it also depended on the individual’s own will and effort.

Zhang Yang felt immense joy at Yuluan’s progress.

His gaze finally landed on the most beautiful woman in the Southern Region.

Then, a strong sense of awe surged through him—along with the sudden urge to bleed from his nose.

He never expected that after being completely sealed underground, cut off from the outside world, Bing Yuyan would turn out like this.

She actually…
