Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

464 Waiting for Daybreak

The sky slowly lit up, and everyone’s spiritual energy could not be used again.

After two days, the deep pit was finally dug. Dong Xi took advantage of the night to choose a low gap in front of the mountain and looked like she was going to cut it.

After Tie Zhu saw this, he immediately walked forward and said, “Junior Brother, let me do it.”

Dong Xi saw Tie Zhu put on his boxing gloves, put away her sword, and stood aside.

After being restrained for so long, he could finally use it now.

Spiritual energy gathered on his entire set. With a punch, the entire mountain trembled.

Tie Zhu did not show any signs of stopping after this punch. He continued to punch.

After a set of fist techniques, each punch landed on the same place, and the mountain wall was also penetrated.

Cui Liu and Long Wei moved the remaining gravel and piled it on the original path of the flood.

If Dong Xi remembered correctly, there was a city in the distance.

After everything was done, Long Wei sat on the stone pile. The white clothes on his body were also extremely dirty.

Long Wei looked at Dong Xi and said, “Fellow Daoist, is this all? Do we still need to do anything?”

Dong Xi raised her head and looked into the distance. “Wait for daybreak.”

After daybreak, the cycle started once again. The flood was drawn into the lake. Today, they would know if it was really as Dong Xi had guessed.

The flood surged again. After the volcanic eruption, the solidified lava had already raised the riverbed by a large margin.

Dong Xi and the others were also prepared. They covered their faces with a handkerchief to avoid choking on the volcanic ash.

Dong Xi and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the flood water enter the lake through the gap in the mountain.

Now that the first step had been achieved, she did not know if the lake could hold the flood.

Dong Xi brought everyone to the highest mountain peak. Seeing the flood entering the huge pit and the water flow slowing down, everyone instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

Long Wei subconsciously looked at Dong Xi and said, “Looks like it will work?”

“Let’s go see the volcano,” said Dong Xi.

As he spoke, Dong Xi looked at Long Wei. Dong Xi said, “Are you guys going?”

Long Wei said without hesitation, “Yes.”

Long Wei felt that Dong Xi must have discovered something, which was why she went to the volcano. Long Wei naturally followed along.

He did not need to get huge treasures, but he could at least benefit a little. Ever since he came here, he hadn’t gotten anything.

Long Wei also had a flying magic tool. Two days ago, he took it out when there was spiritual energy. Naturally, he did not need to give Dong Xi spirit stones.

Everyone was lying on the volcano. Long Wei was very surprised. There was actually a street below?

Dong Xi casually picked up the stone and threw it onto the street.

When the others saw Dong Xi’s actions, they immediately became nervous.

The stone moved in and landed on the head of a person who had just walked out of the house.

This person immediately looked up at the sky and cursed angrily, “Which bastard hit me? Come out if you have the guts.”

The others immediately retracted their heads, but Dong Xi jumped out and stepped on the protruding rocks, rushing towards the street.

When the man saw a young man suddenly appear in front of him, he frowned and said, “You hit me?”

Dong Xi immediately took out a token. That person immediately said, “Are you the one who hired me?”

His initial anger immediately dissipated after seeing the token. What was the big deal about getting hit by a stone? This was his sponsor who had given him 1,000 best-grade spirit stones!

“Can we talk in private?” Dong Xi asked with a smile.

“Let’s go to the restaurant.””

Seeing Dong Xi and that person enter the restaurant, everyone was stunned for a moment before jumping down one by one.

The person who was talking to Dong Xi was called Yu Wei. Yu Wei ordered a pot of wine and poured it for Dong Xi himself.

“Fellow Daoist, are you from the Secret Realm?” asked Dong Xi.”

“That’s right.” Yu Wei nodded.

“What have you found after such a long time?” asked Dong Xi. “Is there only one street here?”

“No,” Yu Wei said. “I heard these people say that there’s no exit in the outside world. I heard that there was a disaster here, so I came here to hide.”

“The fire spiritual energy here is very dense, and it’s very unfriendly to other cultivators.” Dong Xi frowned.

When Yu Wei heard Dong Xi’s words, he rejoiced. He finally found someone to talk to. Yu Wei said, “Speaking of which, you might not believe me. I have three spiritual roots, water, wood, and metal. My cultivation speed is already slow to begin with. The spiritual energy here is basically all fire element. The more spiritual energy we consume, the less we will be able to make up for it. The only way is to use spills or spirit stones, but all those cost resources…”

“It’s the same for everyone, right?” Dong Xi said softly,

Of course, Dong Xi was not like that. She had the fire spirit root, so he was like a fish in water here.
