World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Several days later, at the border of the Diancang Kingdom.

Zhang Xiaoman hovered above the high sky, looking down at the vast earth below.

This was a basin area, covered in yellow sand, within a radius of a thousand miles, not a single blade of grass grew.

"Is this Lao Mountain?"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the scene before him, and silently wondered.

After dispelling the resentment on his body, he had searched this land for several days and finally found a place suspected to be Lao Mountain.

In fact, he had learned about this place from the secret history of the Royal Family of the Diancang Kingdom. In gratitude for Saint Immortal Zhang’s help, the Royal Family generously opened all their secret reserves, fulfilling any request Zhang Xiaoman had.

According to the records, a great catastrophe occurred here 300 years ago. Ordinary people only knew it as a natural disaster, while the Royal Family’s secret room recorded another reason.

It is said that in the Lao Mountain Territory, 300 years ago, the Heavenly Gate opened, and Immortals descended from the sky, falling onto the earth below, causing tremors for seven days and nights without peace.

The entire Lao Mountain was shattered, and a 1000-mile radius became a sunken basin, a restricted area of life, with yellow sand still prevailing even after 300 years.

Zhang Xiaoman sighed, if this were true, then the Immortal’s fall 300 years ago destroyed the entire Lao Mountain; the Small Immortal Palace undoubtedly ceased to exist, no wonder he asked around most of the Diancang Kingdom without any results.

He extended his spiritual power to search, his powerful divine thought covering this land, and soon discovered an unusual place about 500 meters below the surface.

"There seems to be the remnant site of the Immortal Palace, it seems the place I need to find is here."

Zhang Xiaoman faintly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy, realizing this journey had finally yielded results.

However, he still felt uncertain inside; after all, the entire Lao Mountain was gone, the Immortal Palace buried so deep underground, the Array inside might still be a problem.

Earth attribute divine power, Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!

The earth began to surge, rocks rolled to both sides, and the Immortal Palace ruin was lifted upwards.

Actually, rather than calling it a ruin, it would be more accurate to say it’s a pile of building debris compressed into a mass by rocks, barely recognizable in its original form.

"The Array leading to the Guiding Immortal Road must be arranged with the finest materials; this level of compression shouldn’t matter much."

Ni Yang’s Divine Soul appeared beside him.

Zhang Xiaoman continued using magic to peel the Immortal Palace from the soil layer, ultimately discovering a small intact part surprisingly.

What was unexpected was that within the ruins of the Immortal Palace, a complete area still remained preserved; this seemed to be a large hall, and even as the entire mountain was pressed into the ground, this hall remained relatively undamaged, at least retaining its original shape.

Zhang Xiaoman cleared the debris inside, finally finding a well-sealed black box within.

This black box, forged of unknown materials, was extraordinarily solid, surviving this catastrophe.

Using the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, he split it open, revealing a small Space Ring inside.

"The material of this Space Ring is excellent; to preserve until now, it’s indeed rare."

After the final catastrophe, those rings that managed to preserve were considered exceptional treasures in the past.

Sending a trace of divine thought into it, Zhang Xiaoman’s face immediately lit with surprise.

"Goodness, has the Small Immortal Palace stored everything inside here?"

Inside the Space Ring was preserved a large batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Magic Secret Manual.

Though the spiritual elixirs lost effectiveness in the final catastrophe, some of the spirit stones contained a bit of spiritual power, and most importantly, all the secret books from the Small Immortal Palace were saved here.

They must have anticipated this crisis and stored all the heritage in this ring, preserving all the secret books in paper form, preventing the situation Tianyuan Sect faced with jade scrolls losing information.

Things turned out as Zhang Xiaoman expected, the Sect Leader of the Small Immortal Palace personally left a letter inside the ring, hoping future generations could use these resources to help the Small Immortal Palace restore its heritage.

Zhang Xiaoman thought about it, having taken all the sect’s treasures, assisting them seemed rightful.

After all, he had already planned to establish a sect on this continent, similar to the Tianyuan Sect, recruiting disciples with cultivation aptitude, nurturing a group of cultivators, offering people a chance for survival amidst future challenges.

Of course, the cultivation techniques from the Small Immortal Palace were no longer suitable; Zhang Xiaoman would improve them, transforming them into cultivation techniques for cultivators.

His sect did not need those emotionless Immortals; Zhang Xiaoman had always felt that these so-called Immortals were no longer the same as their original selves; their self-consciousness seemed to fade as their cultivation improved, leaving only the path of Immortal, eliminating any hindrances.

Upon ascending as Immortals, they were no longer living humans, but puppets manipulated by the Heavenly Dao, devoid of feelings, driven only by interests.
