Chapter 3729: River
nor flaw. At that time, all this old man could think about was that Foundation Establishment Pill, and he also had some selfish intentions. He didn't explain it at the time. Qian Dali initially obtai...In the Jiau City territory, a wisp of smoke lingered in a valley on a piece of floating land. This floating land spanned tens of thousands of miles and was considered middling in size among the various lands under Jiau City's jurisdiction.

Like other landmasses, this place boasts towering trees, majestic mountains, and winding rivers. A branch of the Heavenly River flows through here, rippling and surging within the void, connecting this land to the rest of Jiuyang City's territories.From the endless sky downwards, the Heavenly River cascades like a celestial waterfall, a breathtaking spectacle. The main branch of the Heavenly River flows through the void, traversing the three celestial courts of Honghao, Yuxuan, and Nandantian. This side of Jiuyang City is merely one branch of this magnificent river system.
The surging water currents infused Jiuyang City with boundless vitality. The immortal denizens of this land bustled about as usual, frequenting taverns and trading houses. Across the countryside, vast fields thrived with diverse immortal flora, while shimmering lakes teemed with captive spirit fish – a vibrant tapestry of life unfolded.
At Lu Xia Tian's level, he primarily encounters people at the level of Dan Saints, Xuan Immortals, and those above the Xuan rank.
But in fact, throughout the entire fairy world, a vast number of true immortals, countless fairies, and even more cultivators who have not yet reached the level of even Lianxian are the majority.
Even in Jiuyang City, the void is filled with all sorts of dangers that even immortals cannot resist. Even if a True Immortal wants to traverse the void and reach other lands, they often risk losing their lives in the process. As for cultivators below the level of immortals, they are considered common folk who rely on the protection of the immortals.
These immortals in the mortal realm, for the most part, never left their native lands throughout their lives. Only after achieving cultivation success and ascending to a higher realm, could they enter the Immortal Army or govern the entire Jiuyang City's immortal ranks, thus breaking free from the constraints of their original abode. This marks their ascent to a higher level.
At this time, the immortals on this land were managing their immortal fields as usual, driving away some wild beasts and birds. Those in better condition would come and go from taverns. Some who were diligent in cultivation were in their own caves or in deep mountains and vast marshes, contemplating their techniques.
Jiuying City is a transcendent existence beyond even the upper realms of Xianyu. On each individual landmass, the proportion of immortals and true immortals is significantly higher. At this time, these individuals cultivating on their own are still unaware that a crisis is stealthily approaching.
As usual, a branch of the Heavenly River flowed across this land. In its turbulent currents, black spheres rose from the riverbed, some being swept onto the shore by the water while others were carried away by the rushing current. The impact of this Heavenly River varied in strength; where its power was strongest, even celestial beings dared not directly face its edge.
Hiss...
These black orbs shattered, and from within emerged figures with gaunt faces and crimson tongues. Their serpentine heads protruded like demonic beings emerging from their shells.
These creatures, with serpent heads and human bodies, manifested in various forms. Some appeared as humans, while others shimmered within a black light, transforming into gigantic black pythons that ranged in size from several dozen feet.
Several fishing boats were dredging for fish and crabs in the Tianhe tributary, making their way through this relatively calm river. When they arrived here, a black mass of celestial beings shocked them, causing one middle-aged true immortal inside the boat's cabin to be roused from slumber.
“Immortal, look over there, what’s going on” Several immortals pointed to the black pythons that were constantly breaking out of their shells on the shore, already occupying swathes of forest. They were a mix of terrified and bewildered. Some of the black pythons had already noticed them, along with snake-headed human demons.
"This, this is the demon from Luoyang Prison that has arrived here." The middle-aged True Immortal saw the swarms of demons on the shore, and those black spheres continuously emerging from the riverbed, he couldn't help but shiver. Unlike most immortals who had never left this land for generations, the middle-aged True Immortal was also a prominent figure on this land. He had accompanied his master to other places several times and had heard about the chaos caused by demons in Luoyang Prison.
It is said that a large number of True Immortals have been killed and wounded in the Luo Yang Prison. Even powerful figures like Xuanxians and Heavenly Immortals have suffered casualties. There are even rumors that the deputy city lord of Jiuyang City, a figure so powerful that it was impossible to even see him if you wanted to, was seriously injured inside the Luo Yang Prison.
The city of Jiuyang City mobilized a wide range of power from its domain. This land was then requisitioned by many immortals, including true immortals. Such events had happened before, but the scale was not as large as this time.

Throughout the entire fairy realm, due to these various islands of land floating in the void and unconnected to each other, many low-level immortals and beings below immortals, even while relying on immortal citizens, could only contact a relatively limited number of things within their lifetimes. Coupled with the fact that Jiuyang City was intentionally blocking news from Luo'ang Prison at this time, although there were quite a few people on this land who had been conscripted, there were not many who knew about the situation in Luo'ang Prison.
And the middle-aged True Immortal was just someone who knew the inside scoop. Seeing the current situation, the middle-aged True Immortal was also extremely terrified. He directly took to the air and wanted to abandon the fishing boat and the immortals on it, fleeing by himself.
When the immortal and cultivators saw this great figure of a True Immortal in his prime, they all fled in terror. At this moment, who dared to stay Before they could even move, a huge black shadow rose from the river. The black python opened its mouth wide, appearing to have the power to swallow rivers and spit out seas. This fishing boat, hundreds of meters long, seemed extremely small compared to the python’s maw.
The aforementioned immortal cultivators, along with the fishing boat, didn't have time to react before being swallowed whole. Several other fishing boats met a similar fate. Immediately after, the black python spat out only a scattering of wooden debris.
The seasoned Immortal was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He fled at high speed. Seeing these hordes of black demons, the seasoned Immortal understood that he wasn't the only one in danger. The mortals on this land didn't know how many would die and be injured. At least before the army sent by Jiuyang City arrived to suppress them, countless people were likely to perish here.
But this middle-aged True Immortal had not flown far when a serpent demon below drew its bow and set an arrow, shooting several arrows into the void, chasing after the middle-aged True Immortal.
Several magic arrows came first, and the middle-aged True Immortal had no choice but to sacrifice his immortal sword to block them. Clang clang clang, a burst of sound echoed in the void. The immortal sword did not suffer any losses, but another rain of arrows covered below. The demons below formed an army, and the middle-aged True Immortal felt a chill in his heart. His immortal sword flashed, forming a large swathe of sword energy, blocking all these arrows. However, one arrow was unusually sharp. Taking advantage of the fact that he blocked the rain of arrows, it directly broke through the sword energy and pointed straight at his body. Although the middle-aged True Immortal dodged, his shoulder was still shot.
Before he could react, another volley of arrows rained down upon him. Then, a single, sharp arrow, cunningly concealed within the barrage, struck his core. This repeated several times, and after numerous attacks, dozens of arrows pierced the mature immortal's body, sending him plummeting into the raging river.
