320: Chapter 320 Opening up a secret realm and oppressing the human race!

...

At the summit of Yunjun Peak, the void twisted slightly.

White Crane sat cross-legged amidst the clouds. Floating before him were dozens of Void Gazer Stones, Void Crystals, and two pieces of pitch-black Boundary Void Wood.

The cloud patterns on his brow lit up brightly, and his Immortal Foundation [Lord of the Clouds] condensed behind him. A phantom of a White Crane soared through the sea of clouds, unpredictable, formless, shapeless, and elegantly ethereal.

"Refine!"

The cloud Qi transformed into a physical white True Fire, completely enveloping those Space Dao spiritual items.

Half a day later, the Void Gazer Stones and Void Crystals melted, turning into a pool of strange, shimmering silver liquid, while the Boundary Void Wood emitted a heavy aura under the refinement of the True Fire.

White Crane cast thousands of hand seals, mobilizing his Cloud Dao Immortal Foundation.

The silver liquid interwove in midair, condensing into a single point, as if a new world was brewing within.

"Open!"

White Crane shouted, pressing his fingers together like a sword and slashing forward fiercely.

*Tear!*

The void was violently torn open, revealing a hundred-zhang-long rift. Inside the rift was a chaotic void, and the ball of silver liquid was embedded into it.

The Boundary Void Wood followed closely behind, transforming into two sky-supporting pillars that slowly propped open the silver liquid as a void world manifested.

Immediately after, he activated his own Immortal Foundation.

The pure, flawless Cloud Dao Laws surged into the newly born chaotic space, branding the Cloud Dao aura into every corner of the space.

Rumble...

The void rumbled as the boundary of the realm manifested. However, looking around, it was only an independent space of three to four miles in radius. It was completely empty, with only cloud Qi drifting about, deathly still and silent.

White Crane frowned slightly.

"The space has been formed, but it is lifeless. Without a Spiritual Vein to suppress the earth Qi, this Secret Realm will collapse sooner or later. I still need to find spiritual items to fill it."

His gaze swept across the Myriad Demon Domain.

The Spiritual Veins within the mountains already belonged to others; forcibly extracting them would inevitably damage the Foundation of the Myriad Demon Domain...

Although Shi Jian was in seclusion, it would not be worth it to disturb him over such a minor matter.

Judging by Shi Jian's aura, he was likely already preparing for his Nascent Soul Breakthrough. He would not disturb him with the matter of creating the Secret Realm.

"Since I cannot touch those in the Myriad Demon Domain, I can always borrow some from the outside."

Thinking of this, White Crane turned his head, his gaze passing over the western border of the Myriad Demon Domain and landing on that barren wasteland...

Xuanzhen Kingdom, Yiqi Dao Sect.

...

Hua Prefecture, Falling Star Mountains.

This was where the Yiqi Dao Sect's mountain gate was currently located.

True Monarch Wenxuan and True Monarch Qingxiao had spent over a decade of painstaking effort to reorganize this depleted earth vein, finally cultivating a few Rank 3 spiritual veins and restoring some vitality...

Today, True Monarch Wenxuan was in the grand hall, discussing the creation of a new Spirit Medicine garden with several Golden Core Elders...

Suddenly, the sky turned dark.

Without any warning, a vast sea of clouds rolled in from the east, instantly blotting out the sky for thousands of miles over the Falling Star Mountains.

A suffocating Nascent Soul pressure crashed down like a falling meteor.

Inside the hall, several Golden Core Elders spat out blood simultaneously, collapsing to the ground.

"Demon Lord!"

True Monarch Wenxuan's face changed drastically, and his figure flashed as he rushed out of the hall.

True Monarch Qingxiao followed closely behind. The two stood in midair, staring intently at the churning sea of clouds above, their brows furrowed.

The sea of clouds parted, and White Crane, clad in a white feather cloak, stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down indifferently, high and mighty!

"Demon Lord White Crane!"

True Monarch Wenxuan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with wariness: "Demon King, you have crossed the line! This place is the territory of our Xuanzhen Kingdom. Our paths have never crossed with your Myriad Demon Domain. Why do you invade today?!"

White Crane ignored Wenxuan's questioning.

He raised his right hand, curved his fingers into a claw, and pressed down toward the Falling Star Mountains from afar.

"Rise."

Boom!

The earth trembled violently as a side peak of the Falling Star Mountains was forcibly pulled up by dozens of zhang.

Soil churned and rock layers shattered.

A white dragon-shaped phantom emitting a faint spiritual light was tightly bound by chains formed of cloud Qi and forcibly dragged out from deep underground.

It was precisely one of the few Rank 3 spiritual veins in the Falling Star Mountains!

Along with it, seven or eight surrounding Rank 2 spiritual veins were also pulled up into the sky like uprooted radishes.

"Stop!"

True Monarch Qingxiao's eyes nearly split open with rage. The longsword on his back unsheathed, and its Sword Qi soared into the sky, ready to slash at those chains of cloud Qi.

This was the very lifeblood of their Yiqi Dao Sect!

"Junior Brother, don't!"

True Monarch Wenxuan grabbed Qingxiao's shoulder, firmly pressing down on his hand that was drawing the sword, veins bulging on the back of his hand...

"Senior Brother! He is destroying our Sect's Foundation!" Qingxiao's eyes were blood-red.

True Monarch Wenxuan's face contorted, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth: "If you dare to draw your sword, he will dare to slaughter everyone in the Falling Star Mountains today!"

"Have you forgotten the tragedy of the North Sea back then?! Beware of the Yao Race surrounding and annihilating us again!"

Qingxiao's entire body stiffened, and his Sword Qi dissipated dejectedly.

He looked up at the high and mighty Demon Lord above, his eyes filled with humiliation and powerlessness.

White Crane swept the Spiritual Veins into his sleeve before looking down at the two.

"This Lord has been creating a Secret Realm recently and is a bit short of resources, so I have borrowed a few Spiritual Veins from you two. I trust you two Fellow Daoists wouldn't be stingy, would you?"

"Borrow?" Qingxiao laughed in extreme anger, yet did not dare to vent his rage.

"What, does the Yiqi Dao Sect have an objection?" White Crane's gaze turned cold, and the sea of clouds immediately churned. Thousands of clouds and mists converged between heaven and earth to form a phantom of a giant crane!

True Monarch Wenxuan took a deep breath, suppressing the grievance in his heart, and lowered his head slightly: "Since the Demon Lord has a need, please take them."

"I only beg the Demon Lord not to harm the Disciples of my Sect."

"Very well, then I thank you two Fellow Daoists. The mountains are high and the road is long, no need to see me off."

White Crane chuckled softly, turning to step into the void.

"This Lord has accepted the Spiritual Veins. Thank you for the gift, Xuanzhen Kingdom."

The sea of clouds then dissipated, and the sky returned to being clear and bright.

However, the Falling Star Mountains were left in ruins. The Spiritual Qi depleted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the few Spiritual Plants that had barely managed to grow withered instantly.

Thousands of Yiqi Dao Sect Disciples stared blankly at the sky, their faces filled with despair.

Both True Monarch Qingxiao and True Monarch Wenxuan closed their eyes, remaining silent.

"Endure..."

"As long as our lineage is not severed, there will be a day of reckoning."

...

Myriad Demon Domain, Yunjun Peak.

White Crane stepped out of the void and directly cast the several Spiritual Veins in his sleeve into the newly created Secret Realm space.

Rumble...

As the Spiritual Veins entered the ground, they instantly took root and sprouted. The space continuously expanded outward, and within the gray space, Spiritual Qi revived and sprouted, turning into wisps of white mist.

White Crane once again mobilized the Cloud Dao Laws to smoothly organize the earth veins of the entire Secret Realm.

Light rose from all directions, and the sea of clouds filled the air.

Spiritual Qi filled the world, turning into vitality to support the entire sky and earth. Its area also expanded as a result, reaching over twenty miles in radius.

"This Secret Realm shall be named: Yunxiao."

"All avian races under heaven may enter the Yunxiao Secret Realm to rest, recuperate, and guard this world. It shall be the Holy Land of our race!"

White Crane's voice echoed throughout the Myriad Demon Mountains.

Thousands of feathered demons let out long cries, and tens of thousands of birds flew grandly into the void rift above Yunjun Peak.

With the formation of the Yunxiao Secret Realm, the Foundation of the Feathered Clan surged dramatically.

Sitting on his jade couch, White Crane toyed with his wine cup, in an excellent mood.

The four nations of the Human Race were now nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered. As long as he did not push the Human Race to the brink of extinction, those old Nascent Soul monsters would never easily risk their lives against the Myriad Demon Domain.

This kind of boiling a frog in warm water, slicing meat with a blunt knife, was the safest way to expand.

"Brother Shi, oh Brother Shi, your seclusion has caused you to miss quite a few good shows."

White Crane chuckled softly. With a wave of his hand, several thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines emerged, which were precisely what remained from his Nascent Soul Breakthrough.

"With some Spiritual Materials left, I shall add another boost for you, Brother Shi!"
