Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 827 - 415: The Fallen Heavenly Fire of Old Days in Chang State (Part 2)

"Section 13, the observation of the Earth Sea..."

Old Sect Leader Li, "..."

He suspected Qin Lang was doing it on purpose.

And Qin Lang was indeed doing it on purpose.

Ignoring Old Sect Leader Li's resentful gaze, Qin Lang put away the jade conch.

Qin Lang said, "Spirit Fusion Technique, apart from you, no one is better at it. You could teach me, but I wouldn't learn it quickly anyway. It's better for you to do it directly."

"Hmph." Li Wenzhou snorted arrogantly.

After placating the old guy, Qin Lang brought up the main topic.

He took out the photo of Da Tou Cai captured by Zhang Ze.

"Before the blood moon, the Firefly Spirit has emerged. You think... Hmm, you don't know?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Qin Lang was halfway through speaking, but seeing Li Wenzhou's shocked expression, it seemed he had just learned of it.

'Didn't I tell Fuji to inform him? What's wrong with this old guy?'

"Didn't Fuji tell you?" Qin Lang asked.

"No." Old Sect Leader Li replied.

"Then why did you come?" Qin Lang asked again.

"I heard Fuji say something happened in Chang State, and since you were waiting here for me, I came. What else would I do?" Old Sect Leader Li answered again.

Qin Lang, "..."

One couldn't entirely blame Fuji; this old guy was trying to put on airs and missed half of what was said.

"Clearly it's not the blood moon, so why have those Firefly Spirits appeared again?" Old Sect Leader Li continued the conversation.

Old Sect Leader Li had been to Chang State several times before, curious about its creatures just like Qin Lang was about the Mother Tree of Chang State.

But the creatures here were strange; they couldn't reproduce once they left Chang State, and their individual potentials would inexplicably decline.

Even the hybrid method couldn't solve this problem, sometimes resulting in a situation where one plus one is less than two.

Spiritual beasts from elsewhere kept here would, after a long time, mostly be assimilated or mysteriously die.

It was as if there were some rules here repelling anything foreign.

Old Sect Leader Li had tried to forcibly intervene with personal power, but the results were subtle.

Once, he planned to use an array to carve out a small area in Chang State, refine the Floating Mountain and rivers into objects he could control, then study them slowly.

When everything was ready and the casting was about to begin, he suddenly saw many Firefly Spirits emerge from the Floating Mountain.

Those Firefly Spirits weren't strong, at least not in his eyes; even a hundred or a thousand of them posed no threat to him.

Yet, Old Sect Leader Li was stopped by these Firefly Spirits.

After they appeared, Old Sect Leader Li distinctly felt an emotion, and at that moment, he felt the entire Chang State 'looked' at him.

They were threatening him, and the bargaining chip was themselves.

The meaning was clear: if you dare cause chaos in Chang State, we'll explode together with you, turning Chang State into wasteland and everyone perishing together.

This tactic might not work on a scoundrel, but it worked perfectly on Old Sect Leader Li.

He didn't dare gamble on whether it was true.

A gentleman can be deceived with reason.

With no choice, Old Sect Leader Li abandoned this idea and upon returning to the Beast Taming Sect, advised the elders not to mess around in Chang State and withdrew almost all missions related to it.

Much later, upon learning Qin Lang had ideas about Chang State's Mother Tree, he immediately wanted to stop him.

But before he could leave, Qin Lang had already returned.

And with the Reversed Heavenly Gang warned him not to target Chang State lightly.

The two fought, then exchanged information, realizing both were threatened by those Da Tou Cai's suicidal tactics.

Because Qin Lang stayed longer, he brought back more information about those Da Tou Cai.

For instance, those Da Tou Cai would usually appear near Luoyu Mountain during the blood moon; when people acted like demons, they would decide based on the opponent's strength whether to attack in groups or explode together.

But saying those Da Tou Cai were Chang State's Guardian Spirits or Earth Vein Spirits was inaccurate.

Because when Qin Lang tried to take away the Mother Tree, he once had a deep encounter with them.

Even for him, it was difficult to describe that feeling.

If he had to say anything, it felt like a nightmare, the nightmare of the entire Chang State. Although it flashed by quickly, he saw many unpleasant things.

After Qin Lang shared this with Li Wenzhou, the old man frowned.

"Why didn't you tell me then?"

Qin Lang, "You never asked, plus what would I tell you? What if you got weird ideas again?"

Old Sect Leader Li, "You petty man..."

Saying so, Qin Lang waved his hand, indicating not to dwell on these old matters. He recalled the observation methods taught by Tang in the recent video and signaled Li Wenzhou to follow him.

"Please, Elder Zhu Luo, keep an eye on my two disciples." Qin Lang said as he left.

Soaking in the sea, Zhu Luo nodded, implying he was good at caring for them.

...

Instead of going directly to Luoyu Mountain, Qin Lang and Li Wenzhou sought a root vein of the Mother Tree.

Although Qin Lang remembered the general location, the above-ground part of the Mother Tree was hidden, requiring some searching.

While exploring, several explosive frogs, a specialty of Chang State, suddenly leaped from the nearby stream, staring at Qin Lang, their bodies swelling as if ready to go boom.

Without any visible action from Qin Lang, the explosive frogs' movements suddenly halted; their bodies petrified in an instant, flowers bloomed and withered on their heads, fungi were stimulated by Spiritual Qi and sprouted from the petrified frogs' bellies, beginning to consume them.
