Li Yuhuan pursued the shifting Immortal Mansion Ruins, eager to uncover the cause of its strange mutation.
Fortunately, the ruins' movements were relatively slow, allowing her to barely keep pace.
Her pursuit led her to the western region of Giant Deer Prefecture, where the ancient city of Giant Deer City stood.
Any cultivator familiar with the Great Wilderness Domain would know that this city housed the Giant Deer Terrace, from which the entire prefecture derived its name.
The Giant Deer Terrace was the site where a peerless demon cultivator had shattered the void and ascended. This legendary figure, a Yanghorn Deer with an unremarkable bloodline, had risen step by step to the late-stage divine transformation, a tale steeped in legend.
Each year, countless ambitious cultivators flocked to the terrace to pay homage and glimpse the legacy of this extraordinary demon cultivator.
The Immortal Mansion Ruins' sudden halt just outside Giant Deer City was undeniably peculiar.
Alas, Li Yuhuan remained oblivious to the underlying mysteries, assuming the ruins' movements were merely part of its natural shifting patterns. She breathed a sigh of relief when the ruins finally came to a stop.
But at that very moment, thick clouds suddenly coalesced in the sky, swirling relentlessly toward the heavens above Giant Deer City.
The primordial energy between heaven and earth began to stir restlessly. Li Yuhuan, caught in the midst of this strange mutation, felt a faint unease but couldn't discern the exact nature of the change.
She instinctively retrieved a jade talisman from her robes, preparing to ignite it with her mana at any moment.
Boom! Boom!
A gale howled, the sky's colors shifted violently, and a figure materialized in the center of the heavens.
It was a young man with a slender build, clad in a black, form-fitting robe.
The raging winds whipped his garments into a frenzy, yet the youth's expression remained utterly calm, his face betraying no emotion.
The slender young man pointed a finger toward the earth below, and a beam of spiritual light shot downward from his fingertip.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently as the Immortal Mansion Ruins, hidden deep within the Earth Vein, began to rise, gradually emerging onto the surface.
The colossal Immortal Mansion Ruins stretched across the land like a majestic city, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
This was the first time the Immortal Mansion Ruins had revealed its full grandeur above ground. Its vast expanse was shrouded by a mysterious restriction, preventing any external observation of its inner workings.
The commotion drew many cultivators from Giant Deer City, who gazed in astonishment at the ethereal, mysterious Immortal Mansion Ruins hovering outside the city walls. Their voices trembled as they exclaimed:
"Isn't that the Immortal Mansion Ruins? How did it appear outside Giant Deer City?"
"What's happening? I thought it was anchored within the southern Earth Vein. Why is it here now?"
"I wasn't planning to join the fray, but now that the Immortal Mansion Ruins has come to us, I have no choice but to investigate!"
The ruins' sudden appearance was so captivating that almost no one noticed the young man in black robes standing in the sky above.
His hands formed an intricate magical seal as he closed his eyes and chanted continuously.
The man paid no attention to the cultivators from Giant Deer City who rushed into the Immortal Mansion Ruins, seemingly indifferent to their actions.
However, Li Yuhuan, who had felt a growing unease, instinctively ignited the jade talisman in her hand.
Though she didn't know what was happening, she sensed that this could only spell trouble.
The young man was utterly enigmatic. Though he exuded no discernible aura, his casual actions triggered such a cataclysmic event—a feat far beyond the capabilities of any ordinary cultivator.
In the next instant, the entire immortal mansion erupted with boundless spiritual light, dimming even the heavens above.
Within the Immortal Mansion Ruins, countless cultivators seeking fortune sensed the disturbance.
"What's happening? Did the mansion just move?"
"It must have. Otherwise, such a violent reaction would be impossible."
"Something's off. Look at the restrictions around us—they've all materialized, no longer seamlessly integrated with the mansion."
"Incredible! Does this mean we can bypass the restrictions without fear of triggering them?"
The cultivators within the ruins, driven by greed, descended into a frenzy.
The first to act was a late-stage core formation cultivator. His figure blurred through the mansion, deftly avoiding the materialized restrictions as he raced toward Medicine Garden Peak on the eastern side of the ruins.
"Head for the spirit peak where the spirit herbs grow! The restrictions there have been lifted too!"
In an instant, nearly everyone lost their composure, frantically rushing toward the spirit peak where the Spirit Herb Garden was located.
This spirit peak was riddled with layers of restrictions so formidable that even Nascent Soul cultivators working together couldn't breach them. Anyone who entered could only stare helplessly at the ancient spirit herbs planted on Medicine Garden Peak, their mouths watering in vain.
But now that the restrictions had manifested, some cultivators couldn't contain themselves. They immediately attempted to ascend the peak, eager to harvest the ancient spirit herbs at the earliest opportunity.
Previously, they could only gaze longingly at the peerless holy medicines from the foot of the mountain, but now they finally had a chance to ascend!
If they could obtain a ten-thousand-year treasure medicine, or even a sacred medicine over a hundred thousand years old, their dao path would undoubtedly become incomparably brilliant. They might even achieve immediate ascension!
However, while the restrictions had manifested, they hadn't disappeared or lost their potency. Their power remained terrifyingly formidable.
"Ah!"
Within moments, dozens of overconfident cultivators perished on their ascent, obliterated by the terrifying restrictions.
Only a handful managed to evade the layers of restrictions with exceptional agility and movement techniques.
Among them were several elders nearing the end of their Lifespan, some even on the brink of death with less than a year remaining—their great limit was truly at hand.
At this final moment of life, they naturally refused to accept death peacefully. The saying "rest in peace" was merely a comforting platitude. If there was even a sliver of hope for survival, they would gamble everything to seize it.
