Chapter 5: The Rain Keeps Falling
Suddenly, it began to rain.
The Sovereign-level figures looked up at the void above them, their faces filled with confusion.
With many holes opened up, the void had been shattered. Where could this rain possibly come from? How could there be rain?
The rain fell gently, drop by drop, cooling the faces of the Sovereigns. Then, the downpour intensified, turning into a torrential rain.
Pitter-patter...
The large raindrops fell heavily, causing some trouble for the Sovereigns' vision.
"How can there be rain? Where is this rain coming from?" Fire Vein exclaimed in surprise. This was certainly not ordinary rain; otherwise, how could it obscure the vision of such powerful beings?
"This is rain formed from Vital Energy," Helan Mountain said, frowning slightly, his expression serious.
"So, the people from Divine Ruins have arrived?" Fire Vein felt a twinge of fear; the name Divine Ruins was too renowned, almost unattainable in the Cultivation World.
The torrential raindrops gathered and fell upon Lin Feng and his companions. The area around them fell silent, with no sound except for the falling rain.
The Sovereign figures also paused momentarily, watching the void above as if facing a formidable enemy.
Vital Energy rain could naturally replenish others' depleted cultivation. However, only Lin Feng and his companions understood that this was not just simple Vital Energy rain; more accurately, it was spiritual energy rain.
Vital Energy was the foundation of cultivation. Spiritual herbs absorbed Vital Energy day and night, transforming it into their own spiritual power. What fell now was a rain of spiritual medicine.
As the raindrops landed on Lin Feng and his companions, they felt their blood cease to flow.
After a long drought, the gentle rain brought a sense of comfort that was beyond words.
Lin Feng understood Miaomiao better than anyone else, so he guessed the origin of this rain. He never expected Miaomiao to emerge from her cocoon and achieve such extraordinary heights. Lin Feng softly said, "Miaomiao has arrived."
"Wow, Sister Miao is finally here! I'm so excited, thrilled, and happy!" Wind Spirit chuckled. For her, the joy brought by Miaomiao far outweighed the rain.
Whether she could be with Lin Feng depended on Lin Miaomiao, the one in charge. Wind Spirit pondered how to flatter Lin Miaomiao later.
Throughout her life, others had flattered her. Now that she needed to flatter someone else, she truly didn't know how.
"Ethereal Body? How could it have such marvelous uses?" Guan Family was puzzled.
Lin Feng suddenly recalled Miaomiao's immunity to all poisons and her knowledge of various spiritual herbs and their effects. He said, "Perhaps Miaomiao is more than just an Ethereal Body."
"That makes sense now," Guan Family realized.
Lin Miaomiao had not yet appeared, and the rain continued to fall.
Helan Mountain looked up at the empty sky and asked, "Is anyone here Dugu Po?"
The void was silent; no one answered.
"Could it be Master Da?" Li Jing's face was heavy with concern.
The raindrops fell incessantly, still no response.
"Playing tricks. It seems the people from Divine Ruins haven't all arrived. Let's gather our strength and take down a few of them," Ghost Map spoke ominously.
Several Sovereign figures felt a lingering fear. Although rumors suggested Market was missing and Master Da was merely from the Legendary Realm, rumors were still just rumors. Until they confirmed the arrival of those from Divine Ruins, they remained uncertain.
Lin Feng watched as the wounds of several individuals healed at a terrifying speed, their cultivation recovering at an unimaginable rate. This rain had come specifically for them. Others were not able to benefit.
The members of the Guan Family gradually moved from a state of near exhaustion to the peak of their cultivation.
"I’m back to full strength; I can battle for three hundred rounds," Wind Spirit declared, filled with fighting spirit. She felt an endless surge of energy within her. If Miaomiao was up there making it rain, she would definitely want to showcase her abilities in battle. It would be best if something could be thrown at Lin Feng to block the attacks; the use of a feigned injury should work well.
"Why hasn’t Second Senior Brother come?" Guan Family asked, puzzled, as she could not sense Dugu Po's presence.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's face filled with concern. "Has something serious happened in the Divine Ruins?"
"This place is not suitable for us to linger. We shouldn’t get caught up in fighting; let’s leave here and return to the Divine Ruins quickly," Guan Family decided firmly.
"Alright."
Guan Family and Wind Spirit flew in a specific direction, exerting all their strength to break through the encirclement formed by the Sovereigns. Lin Feng remained trapped inside the Blood Devouring Cauldron, bound by his own hair.
"Oh no, they’re escaping."
"Chase them."
Seeing them flee, the hesitation of several Sovereigns vanished instantly as they pursued with all their might.
"At this point, do you really think that those from the Divine Ruins will let this go easily?" Ghost Map fanned the flames nearby, eager for chaos.
Buzz...
The Azure Cloud Cauldron suddenly appeared ahead, towering like a mountain and blocking their path.
"To the left."
The Guan Family took the lead, guiding the Wind Spirit to escape towards the left.
"Do you still think you can get away?"
The Purple Gold Gourd and the Primordial Tower appeared. The two fire path Sovereigns, Fire Vein and Dan Lai, emerged in front of them.
"Come and take your life."
Behind them, Li Jing, clad in War God Armor, radiated a blinding Divine Radiance as he rushed forward. All the Sovereigns unleashed their full power without holding back.
Lin Feng and his companions found themselves blocked again, with nowhere to escape.
"What should we do?" the Wind Spirit asked.
The Guan Family fell into a state of contemplation. Fortunately, the rain from the Void continued to follow them, providing an endless supply of spiritual energy.
Lin Feng looked up; although he couldn't see where Lin Miaomiao was, he sensed that Miaomiao was in a precarious situation. "We need to break through quickly. I don't think Miaomiao can hold on much longer."
The Guan Family remained in a defensive stance. If they were to engage in a full-blown fight, no one would be left to protect Lin Feng. With the Divine Ruins facing such a predicament, dragging things out in a defensive state was not a wise strategy. What should they do? The Guan Family couldn't come up with a solution at that moment.
At that moment, a streak of light shot through the air like a meteor and landed in Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng caught it and exclaimed joyfully, "It's a message from my Second Senior Brother."
"What happened to him?" the Guan Family asked anxiously.
Lin Feng read through it and said, "Second Senior Brother didn't mention the Divine Ruins. Instead, he talked about Master Uncle Formation's methods. What does this mean?"
After pondering for a moment, the Guan Family suddenly realized, "Shishu is the Five Element Ancient Body; all five types of Spiritual Roots are complete. Junior Brother, you have also cultivated into the Five Element Body."
"That is to say, the residual power of the formation left behind by Master Uncle can be borrowed."
"What? That's great! If we can harness the residual power of Master Uncle's sealing formation against Tao Tie, it would be enough to slay them," Lin Feng exclaimed, filled with excitement.
"There's no time to waste; we need to hurry back to that Ancient Cave."
"But the Mountain has been sunk. Where is the Ancient Cave now?"
"Master Uncle's divine might still lingers; the Ancient Cave should not have been submerged."
With their minds made up, they headed back along the path. Before long, they indeed spotted the Ancient Cave. Thanks to the lingering power of Master Uncle's formation, the Ancient Cave had not been submerged, while the surrounding mountains had all turned into depressions.
"Lin Feng, quickly comprehend Master Uncle's formation; we will buy you some time," said the Guan Family.
"Alright."
Time was of the essence, and Lin Feng dared not delay. He immersed himself fully in understanding Master Uncle's formation.
"Why have they returned?" Li Jing asked in confusion.
Helan Mountain pondered, "This place is where Master Uncle sealed Tao Tie. They might have some way to borrow its residual power."
"That can't be possible. If so, we would be in grave danger," Dan Lai said, alarmed.
Ghost Map nodded in agreement. "What Helan Mountain said is absolutely right. Everyone, act quickly! We must eliminate them before they can activate this residual power."
"Understood."
The Sovereign-level figures once again unleashed their full strength. The three members of the Guan Family defended with all their might. Their current state was better than before. With an endless supply of spiritual energy, they maintained their peak condition. Meanwhile, the cultivation of the Sovereigns on the opposing side was rapidly depleting.
The members of the Guan Family had just stepped into the Legendary Realm, lacking both understanding and combat experience in this new world. They were still unable to withstand the pressure. The hole they had opened was shaking violently, showing signs of collapse. The power of the Holy Armor they wore was gradually being overwhelmed.
Their recently restored bodies were bleeding once again. Fortunately, it was raining, allowing their wounds to heal.
"This is ridiculous! How can we fight when we get hurt and recover instantly?" Fire Vein exclaimed angrily.
"I think we should take out the one causing the rain first," Dan Lai suggested.
Helan Mountain shook his head. "The presence of Sky Above is elusive and almost indistinguishable from the ground. We can't locate him at all. We should focus on eliminating these few people. Even with the rain aiding them, they won't last long."
Lin Miaomiao stood in the void above, her entire being radiating a white light, resembling a moonlit figure. The earth's spiritual energy from the land of Jiuzhou rose up, converging towards her.
Lin Miaomiao formed hand seals, appearing almost divine.
The gathered spiritual energy was transformed by Lin Miaomiao into rain that fell upon Lin Feng and the others below. Although Lin Miaomiao had just awakened, her true divine power had not yet manifested. At that moment, utilizing Earth Spirit Energy caused her immense pain.
On the surface, Lin Miaomiao appeared calm and composed, neither sad nor happy. Yet inside her, she endured endless torment from Spiritual Power. Unlike Lin Feng, she did not possess his formidable physique and had not spent her life enduring Spiritual Power torment as he had.
This was Lin Miaomiao's first experience with such overwhelming Spiritual Power torment, surpassing all the pain Lin Feng had ever endured combined.
With a sudden gasp...
Lin Miaomiao could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her delicate hands trembled in pain.
The ethereal rain abruptly ceased.
"The rain has stopped! Everyone, take this chance to kill them!" Helan Mountain urged.
The members of the Guan Family looked up at the sky, each revealing deep concern on their faces.
“Miaomiao, you must not be in danger.”
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, casting aside all distractions as he continued to immerse himself in the comprehension of the formation.
The Guan Family, worried about Miaomiao's safety, spoke loudly, “Friends above, we can hold on for a moment. Thank you for your assistance; please take a rest for now.”
The Guan Family did not mention Lin Miaomiao's name, not wanting the Sovereigns to know the identity of the person above.
“So they are not from the Divine Ruins.”
The Sovereigns understood. Helan Mountain spoke up, “Friends above, why do you help the Disciple of the Divine Ruins against the entire Jiuzhou Continent?”
“Exactly. Let this rain fall upon us and help us eliminate these few people. The Shoushan Bronze Cauldron and Divine Monkey have your share.” Dan Lai chimed in, hoping to win over the powerful figure above. (To be continued)
