The life force of the Azure Giant Flower surged out relentlessly.
After absorbing the earth's energy for a full sixty years, it had finally reached the end of its life.
Even from a li away, the Cultivators could feel the powerful current of its fading vitality.
An instinctual unease stirred in each of their hearts.

"This surge of life force is so powerful, not even all of us combined could withstand a sliver of it. What can we use to receive it?"
Li Dao, who had come up the mountain with the group, walked over.
"To tell you the truth, my body has all sorts of problems. My back is strained..."
"So why don't I give it a try? We can see just how much a Cultivator of my generation can handle!"
Liu Tong shooed him away.
