figures, the Emperor of Qinling! Such masterful puppetry, the same puppet formation. Though Lu Xia Tian had never met the Emperor of Qinling himself, he'd never seen anyone wield puppets to such a deg..."Time is of the essence. If Zhao Qifeng truly wants to capture me, he must have other tricks up his sleeve. We need to make haste." Lu Xiaoteng said.

“Follow me.” Lin Fang nodded, gestured with his hand, and the green vines that clung to the mountain wall and trees rolled up, transforming into strands of green vine artifacts that disappeared into Lin Fang’s body.

"It's been a few days since we last met, and Lin Dao-you's strength has noticeably increased." Lu Xiaoxiao took another look at Lin Fang. Although he had set restrictions on the Qingteng Immortal Artifact, it seemed that even without being able to fully unleash the artifact's power, Lin Fang's overall combat strength had not diminished but rather increased. To have made such progress in such a short time was truly impressive; this Lin Fang possessed remarkable comprehension."

"I gained quite a bit from sparring with the Eastern cultivator recently. However, the slight increase in my strength pales in comparison to his." Lin Fang shook his head as the two of them disappeared into the distance.

...The distant, liquid-like mountain of heavy water burst open, transforming into a sudden, massive female form. Just the turquoise heavy water hitting the ground and trees caused continuous corrosion and smoke. Ordinary monsters shrieked incessantly, many dying on the spot.

"Zhao Qifeng shouldn't have given up just yet, Eastern friend, please try not to make a move." Lin Fang stretched out his palm, several vines growing from between his palms. The vines twisted in mid-air and in the blink of an eye formed a giant canopy, shrouding the two beneath it. Heavy water poured down from the sky, hitting the vines. The vines seemed unable to withstand the corrosive power of the heavy water, rapidly turning yellow. However, once corroded by the heavy water, a section would detach on its own and new vine shoots would grow.

A large amount of heavy water emerged from the shattered mountain, converging into rivers at their feet. The forest's color shifted, and Lin exclaimed, "Not good, this heavy water has an extremely strong adsorption capacity. Even if a celestial being fell into it, it would be difficult to escape."

"There's no other way, we can only grit our teeth and bear it." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. He immediately reached out and patted the empty space below him. A Buddha's seal pressed down, colliding with the immense suction force below. Immediately, a wave of force pushed back, allowing Lu Xiaotian and Lin Fang to fly a distance. However, the huge Buddha's seal disappeared into the water below which had become a vast ocean, without even creating a ripple.

Lu Xia Tian also turned pale with fright. This was such powerful heavy water. His previous strike, even a common immortal would find it difficult to withstand. It had plunged into the heavy water and was directly absorbed! He didn't get much of a rebound force either. The suction force from below grew stronger and stronger. Lu Xia Tian wanted to surge upwards, to fly out of this peak completely.

"It's useless. The heavy water eruption broke through the mountain body. This kind of situation only happens once or twice every hundred years. Every time it happens, there's a strange binding force in the Heavy Water Peak domain. Even true immortals would find it difficult to break free from this binding force without shedding their skin. We're lucky this time." Lin Fang advised with a wry smile.

As Lin Fang said, the moment Lu Xiaotian flew a thousand zhang above the ground, the immense suction force beneath him grew stronger. Every zhang he ascended, the immense pulling force seemed to increase exponentially. To stubbornly resist it would only deplete his celestial energy. To engage in a consumption battle with this heavy water peak domain was suicidal.

Lu Xia tian, accepting reality, didn't force himself to hold on. He naturally fell to the same height as Lin Fangping. The suction force lessened slightly, but it still existed, requiring him to constantly circulate his immortal essence to counter it.

"Is there any way At this rate, the two of us will eventually collapse." Lu XiaTian looked at Lin Fang, the familiar face in this place.

"For now, the only option is to keep looking for places to borrow strength, gaining respite in the process. We must be extremely careful around those mountains; if we're unlucky and encounter a landslide or geyser eruption, even an immortal would find it hard to survive. Let's aim for trees that haven't fallen yet as our landing spots." Lin Fang said as he flew and walked simultaneously.

“Anything poisonous has its antidote. Even though heavy water is terrifying, there are creatures that have lived here for generations and developed resistance to it. If we can coerce one or two of these creatures, we can rest easy.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Xia Tian nodded and immediately began searching with Lin Fang for any place that could provide shelter or leverage. As for those mountains, which appeared to be either tall or short and flowed like liquids, the two of them, being cautious, chose not to approach them.

On their journey, the two also encountered other monsters or immortals who, due to exhaustion of their immortal essence, had to choose to live in some uncollapsed mountains. As a result, two demons and one immortal were engulfed by the surging heavy water within the mountain. In a short moment, they were corroded into skeletons by the heavy water, rolling on the waves before even their skeletons vanished.

If we are only talking about flying, even some low-ranking cultivators, let alone immortals, could fly without stopping. However, resisting the pull of heavy water while doing so is extremely difficult even for immortals. As for crossing tribulation or those below that level of cultivation, they wouldn't be able to withstand it for even three or five moments.

A multitude of trees lay felled in the watery expanse created by the deluge.

A giant turtle, nearly a zhang in size, floated on the heavy water. Standing upon it was a middle-aged lama wearing a chicken-crest-shaped utensil hat, a crimson robe, and with both elbows exposed outside the garment.

In a more distant location, a woman in white was finding it increasingly difficult. Seeing the old lama riding on the mystical tortoise, her face lit up with joy. She didn't even consider the two figures of Lu Xiaotian and Lin Fang further away. Instead, she flew directly toward the middle-aged lama, "Master, this heavy water is too formidable, I hope I can borrow the tortoise's landing. Please grant me permission!"

“This sacred turtle is already overburdened and cannot carry anyone else. Please seek another place, kind sir.” The middle-aged lama refused without even lifting his eyelids.

"You, a lama, are so unreasonable! Since that's the case, I can only resort to force." The white-clad woman opened her eyes wide, rubbed her hands together, and a swirling mist rose around them. Within the white mist, six spinning blades whooshed and whirled, hurtling straight towards the middle-aged lama's vital points.

This is a simple request.

The middle-aged lama flung his sleeves wide, and a surge of red flames erupted. In an instant, the flames soared into the sky, revealing a gigantic fire pit within. The two spinning knives at the front didn't even react before being swallowed by the fire pit. The other four spinning knives were also held back at the edge of the fire pit, locked in a stalemate. Just as they were struggling, a giant hand suddenly shot out from within the fire pit. With a sweep through the air, it snatched the remaining knives into its grasp.

At their first encounter, the white-clad woman's several magical artifacts were restrained by the middle-aged lama. This showed that the gap between the two sides was more than a little bit. It could also be that the white-clad woman had previously consumed too much fairy luck, and facing the middle-aged lama who had been accumulating energy for a long time, she fell into a disadvantage as soon as they fought, which was normal.h of Yu Xuan Heavenly Court, wanting to find a celestial strongman, and Lu Xia Tian had lost many of his previous methods, if he could escape, it would be rather strange." 。Even so, Lu Xia Tian still...
