In front of Fire Hole Mountain, Zeng Conglun invited two Daoists with unusually ancient appearances into the Cave Mansion. After a few pleasantries, he turned and walked out again.
Recently, various cultivators have been coming to his Fire Hole Mountain, all claiming to be invited by Wei Shuling. It seems this disciple of Little Cang Realm has made up her mind to call upon many fellow Daoists from the Nine Mountains and Four Seas to help.
Zeng Conglun knows that these people may not be sincerely here to assist, as most of them, like him, aim to ally with the Little Cang Realm to gain benefits. However, being acquainted with them ans his enemies would have to think twice before targeting him in the future.
At that mont, a beautiful female disciple rushed out to him, and angrily said, "Master, so many people have co recently just to freeload, especially the Yue brothers from Feng Gu Cave; they utterly disregard any boundaries, even sneaking all your Life Nourishing Elixirs refined in the Earth Furnace."
Zeng Conglun remained calm and said, "No harm, a little loss can be a bargain. The more I give, the greater the favor Wei Shuling will owe . Don’t worry."
The female disciple protested, "But what if Wei Shuling doesn’t acknowledge it? Surely, Master wouldn’t go and smash the Mountain Gate of Little Cang Realm?"
Zeng Conglun laughed and said, "My disciple, when have you ever seen your Master suffer a loss? Trust , go on."
At this ti, he noticed an old Daoist approaching swiftly on a Flying Boat, and imdiately flashed a smile as he hurriedly went forward, saying, "Oh, it’s Master Xing Cheng from Gourd Island. Pardon my distant welco, pardon my distant welco..."
The female disciple pouted, transford into a Fire Feather Golden Sparrow, and flew back into the Cave Mansion.
Several days later, Wei Daoist also returned from Little Cang Realm, riding the clouds to arrive here. Zeng Conglun, along with nurous fellow Daoists, greeted her at the door, inviting her into the Cave Mansion like stars clustered around the moon.
However, Wei Daoist had a cool personality and disliked socializing. After saying a few words, the crowd wisely withdrew, leaving only a few close acquaintances to accompany her, while the rest dispersed.
Being the landlord, Zeng Conglun naturally stayed by her side and said, "Although my niece hasn’t been around lately, I did send a disciple to Divine House Mountain to gather intel and heard sothing unusual that might be useful to you."
Wei Daoist asked, "What is it?"
Zeng Conglun didn’t speak directly but gave a mysterious smile and instructed a nearby maid, "Go and call Zeng Xun."
The maid bowed slightly and turned to leave the hall. Not long after, a neatly dressed and perceptive young cultivator walked in from the outside. Facing everyone in the hall, he perford a salutation and said, "Greetings, esteed elders; greetings, Master."
Zeng Conglun said, "Zeng Xun, tell us what you saw that day."
Zeng Xun respectfully acknowledged and then raised his voice, "Several months ago, on Master’s orders, I went to investigate news at Divine House Mountain. I discovered that recently, all sects in the West Divine House are moving eastward, even citizens from various countries are following suit, as if abandoning their original lands to seek new habitats."
Wei Daoist couldn’t help but take notice, frowning, "What is Han Yuan Sect doing?"
Moving the Han Yuan Sect elsewhere wouldn’t necessarily leave East Victory Continent, and Wei Daoist is confident she can find them, but this action is rather unusual.
Zeng Xun continued, "In reply to Daoist Wei, upon further inquiry, I heard it’s because of an impending flood tide, and the sects at Divine House Mountain are relocating to avoid disaster."
"Flood tide?"
Master Xing Cheng, who was knowledgeable, thought deeply and suddenly clapped the table before him, exclaiming, "Could it be the quadrennial tide vortex tribulation?"
Wei Daoist also seed to recall sothing, thoughtfully saying, "So it’s that matter."
Soone asked puzzledly, "What is this tide vortex tribulation?" Most people present hadn’t heard of it and curiously inquired.
Master Xing Cheng stroked his beard and explained, "There’s an Earth Sea Cave at Beimo Sea Realm, reputed to be the navel of this realm, where the mysteries of heaven and earth gestate. It erupts once every four hundred years, bringing tsunamis as tall as mountains that sweep away all lands and fields, turning them into marshes."
The audience suddenly realized, and soone sighed, "So our East Victory Continent has such a wonder in it, how co we never heard about it before?"
Zeng Conglun, sowhat gleeful, said, "Back when Da Mi Ancestor cared for the millions of lives in the continent, he specially left a Seven Star Tribulation Plate there to settle the sea vortex, and ordered his child disciple to guard it, preventing disasters in East Victory. Later, this duty fell onto Zhongtai and Xianluo Sects, but after Xianluo Sect was driven out, the treasure was taken away as well. Haha, looks like the Demon Tribe is going to suffer a disadvantage quietly."
