Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, Divine Mountain.

This Divine Mountain that was surrounded by the three holy cities emitted a rumbling sound, accompanied by golden light.

The light of the Divine Mountain gathered at the top of the mountain and finally formed a beam of light that rushed toward the sky.

The sky rumbled, creating layers of ripples that spread in the sky.

As the ripples spread, the surrounding void was illuminated by this golden light. There were also waves of teleportation fluctuations rising in the surroundings.

After sensing this scene, many figures quickly rose into the air from the three holy cities around the Divine Mountain and looked at the sky.

There were close to a million of them.

Most of them were cultivators from Flame Moon and its affiliated races who hadn’t participated in the Grand Hunt.

Among them, there were many experts of the older generation of the various races.

There were also many who were related to the participants.

Now that they saw the intense energy fluctuations from the Divine Mountain, they all focused their attention on the sky, wanting to see if among the returning cultivators, those who are relevant to them or valued by them had obtained impressive mounts.

“The second segment is ending.”

“This time, if nothing unexpected happens, Flame Mystic’s mount will definitely get the first place.”

“There’s also Ji Dongzi. As the second-ranked heaven’s chosen of the Flame Moon, the mount he obtained must be extraordinary.”

“I wonder if there’s an unexpected dark horse. Also, I wonder how the harvest of that human, Xu Qing, is.”

“Xu Qing? Although he’s also a heaven’s chosen, he obtained the first place in the first segment only because the great heaven’s chosens of my Flame Moon Race didn’t care. In this second segment, even if he didn’t die, he should have learned the gap between him and our great heaven’s chosens.”

Waves of discussion rang out from the crowd in the three cities.

They clearly had no idea what was happening in the Mountains and Seas Region.

After all, the isolated existence of the Mountains and Seas Region was like a seal, isolating everything.

Hence, to these waiting people, everything that would happen next was unknown.

It was also the unknown that made them even more curious and expectant.

Just like that, time flowed by. An hour later, when the beam of light from the Divine Mountain became increasingly resplendent and the rumbling between heaven and earth reached the extreme, the teleportation fluctuations churned intensely. After a loud rumbling sound, a huge vortex appeared in the sky.

As the vortex rumbled and rotated, the figures of cultivators who had been teleported back could be seen faintly.

The gazes of the million spectators from the three holy cities quickly gathered over.

Under these countless gazes, one could see that in the vortex in the sky, there were almost thousands of figures that rapidly turned from blurry to clear.

When they were completely revealed, one could see that all of their faces were pale. Some of their expressions were filled with loneliness, some were filled with horror, and some looked like they had survived a calamity.

They were all different but what was similar was that they didn’t subdue any mounts in the second segment.

As the first batch of people to be teleported out, they couldn’t leave on their own. They could only leave after the Divine Mountain’s teleportation was completely over.

“According to the rules of teleportation in the past, the earlier one is teleported out, the lesser the harvest. The last batch to be teleported out is the best of all cultivators.”

“But it looks like there are many failures in the Mountains and Seas Region this time…”

These failures had no value in the hearts of the surrounding spectating cultivators. Hence, most of them only swept their gazes over and didn’t pay too much attention to them.

Hence, no one noticed that after one of the failed cultivators had returned, a blue light flashed in his eyes. After that, he hid himself and put on a lonely expression as he scattered in the surroundings with everyone.

“Why isn’t there any movement from Junior Brother in the Mountains and Seas Region?”

This cultivator was none other than Erniu.

Because he had been fleeing for his life and being chased for the past few months, he didn’t know much about the matters happening elsewhere. However, after he swept his gaze across the surroundings and discovered that Xu Qing wasn’t around, he felt a little smug.

“Junior Brother didn’t look for me, nor was he teleported out in the first batch. Looks like he gained something. This is even better. If there’s no comparison, I won’t be able to highlight my excellence as Eldest Senior Brother.”

Erniu sighed, picturing in his mind the scene where he presented the shanchi egg to Xu Qing and Xu Qing looking at him with shock and gratitude.

“Sigh, I’m so envious of Little Qing. What kind of luck is this? He actually has a big senior brother like me to back him up. Other than being moved, it’s only right for him to give all the flesh of Crimson Goddess to me.”

Erniu licked his lips and the anticipation in his heart grew. He took out a peach and bit it proudly.

He had been thinking about Xu Qing’s share of the Crimson Goddess’ flesh for a very, very long time.

Usually, he couldn’t find an excuse to ask for it, but this time, he felt that his chance had come.

Just like that, time flowed by.

As the Divine Mountain’s teleportation fluctuations erupted, one figure after another was teleported back from the vortex in the sky. Some chose to conceal their mounts and remained unseen, while others showcased their mounts, sparking discussions among the onlookers from the three cities.

“Chen Lingzi from the Cloud Glutton Race has actually tamed a mountain sparrow, quite impressive!”

“And then there’s Zhou Xian from the Thought Spirit tribe, judging by the floating figures around him, he seems to have acquired something rather eerie.”

“Something’s not right. Why are the expressions of these people who were teleported out a little strange?”

Amidst the discussion, someone quickly saw some clues.

These returnees who had gained something didn’t leave after their figures were teleported out. Instead, they all looked at the vortex in the sky with complicated expressions.

It was as though they were waiting and confirming something.

This caused the spectators to be surprised. They wanted to ask, but the teleportation array in the sky continued to be activated. It wasn’t over and they couldn’t transmit their voices. They had to wait for the array formation to close before they could transmit their voices.

As they stared at each other, more and more figures teleported back from the vortex in the sky. The mounts they revealed were clearly getting stronger and stronger.

This lasted until two familiar figures appeared in the vortex.

They were Tuoshi Shan and Fan Shishuang!

The appearance of these two people immediately attracted the attention of everyone. On Tuoshi Shan’s side, he was sitting on a giant ape. This ape’s entire body emitted black miasma and it was incomparably sinister with an astonishing aura.

As for Fan Shishuang, his face was pale and his expression was complicated. Behind him was also a giant ape.

“It’s the demon ape ranked behind the ghost carriage!”

“This Tuoshi Shan actually subdued a demon ape. To him, this harvest is enough, but why is Fan Shishuang’s mount also a demon ape?”

“According to their rankings, I originally thought that Fan Shishuang’s mount should be ghost carriage…”

Amidst everyone’s discussion, Tuoshi Shan and Fan Shishuang looked at each other and fell silent. After that, like the others who had teleported out, they turned and looked at the vortex.

This scene caused a huge commotion among the spectators. Doubts rose in their hearts.

“Almost everyone is looking at the vortex. What are they waiting for?”

Erniu’s heart also raced. Just as he had a bad feeling, a rumbling sound rang out from the vortex in the sky. A figure rapidly became clear from within. The moment he stepped out, all eyes gathered.

“Tian Mozi!”

“The mount behind him… That’s…”

“Ghost carriage!”

The person walking over was none other than Tian Mozi.

His expression was calm. After he appeared, he didn’t look around but faced the vortex with a solemn expression.

Immediately after, the vortex in the sky rumbled again. This time, it was even more intense than when Tian Mozi came out until Flame Mystic’s figure walked out.

Behind him was a ferocious beast that seemed to have been born from flames, emitting a monstrous pressure. It was shanchi, who was ranked second and was above ghost carriage!

The moment he appeared, Flame Mystic’s expression was gloomy and filled with killing intent. He looked around and swept his gaze across everyone in the sky, as though he was searching.

The captain blinked. He believed in his concealment, so he allowed Flame Mystic’s gaze to sweep past him. However… the uneasiness in his heart grew increasingly intense with Flame Mystic’s appearance.

“Junior Brother hasn’t come out yet… Unless he’s dead, he can only be teleported out after shanchi. This…”

The captain had a suspicion brewing in his mind, and when he was shaken by his own conjecture, the scene presented by Flame Mystic with shanchi immediately caused a stir among all the onlookers.

“Shanchi!”

“Looks like these participants were waiting for Flame Mystic.”

“With shanchi, he is the first in this segment!”

“However, why don’t 1 see Ji Dongzi?”

“Moreover, the teleportation isn’t over. Look, the vortex is still spinning!”

“That’s not right. Take note of these participants. Other than Flame Mystic, most of the others are still staring at the vortex. They seem to be waiting!”

Everyone in the Holy City sensed the abnormality and their hearts trembled.

In the sky, Flame Mystic also saw some clues. He noticed that everyone around him was staring at the vortex, so he frowned and turned his head.

The vortex in the sky emitted an earth-shattering sound. As it rumbled, it gradually gave off a feeling of difficulty.

It was as though an incomparably huge existence was borrowing the power of this teleportation vortex to arrive.

Its body was too large, so the teleportation was having difficulties.

This lasted until wisps of gray fog that carried the ancient vicissitudes were drawn out of the vortex. They lingered in all directions, forming a pressure that filled the sky.

In an instant, waves of emotions surged in the hearts of all the spectators from the Flame Moon Race in the three holy cities.

They could sense the resonance from their bloodlines.

This was especially so for those experts from the Flame Moon Race. Their gazes were even more solemn. Many of them suddenly flew up and sensed the gray fog with disbelief on their faces.

“This is…”

Under the attention of everyone and the moment the bloodline fluctuations spread in all directions, a figure finally appeared in the vortex in the sky.

His long hair fluttered in the wind as he walked step by step to the human world!

Outside the vortex, all the subdued ferocious beasts instantly let out wails and immediately prostrated.

Tian Mozi had an excited expression as he spoke loudly.

“Tian Mozi welcomes the future Grand Mystic Heaven of the Flame Moon, returning triumphantly, shaking the eight directions with unbeatable might!

With that, he bowed.

The captain’s eyes were wide open and the peach in his hand almost fell off. He stared blankly at the familiar figure in the vortex that was becoming clearer and clearer.

The emotions in his heart churned uncontrollably as he muttered.

“He really knows how to posture!”
