Chapter 696
Pangu Continent was absorbing chaotic energy from the void and expanding all the time rapidly .
It was said that during the period when the Great Saint Pangu had just turned his body into Pangu Continent, it expanded by a centimeter in a day and a night . But, after countless Aeons, as the continent grew larger, the chaotic energy it absorbed each day and night caused it to expand by a million miles! If the continent were a disk, its radius was increased by a million miles in just a day and a night . This was a very horrible concept; in other words, the area it added every day was equivalent to the land size of dozens of provinces .
Because of this, although Great Yu was the master of Pangu Continent, it did not fully occupy the whole continent .
The Human Emperor had once decreed that all the people of Great Yu had the innate responsibility to reproduce more offspring . That was to say, the Human Emperor encouraged his people to reproduce as many children as possible! In response to the emperor's call, all direct descendants of noble clans in Great Yu had at least thirty to fifty wives and concubines, and at most three hundred to five hundred, or even more than two thousand wives and concubines . Relying on their strong and healthy bodies, they worked very hard every night to plant seeds; therefore, the large clans of Great Yu usually had a large number of members .
Every eighteen years, Great Yu would gather a large number of descendants from large clans and let them take soldiers and people to build new provinces, counties, and cities in all directions . Even so, their efforts could not keep pace with the expansion of the continent . The edge of Pangu Continent was still filled with billions of miles of undeveloped land . In those regions, there were no people, only the newly formed hills and mountains, tenacious plants, and all sorts of natural treasures directly produced in the chaos .
Wu Qi and the others were now near a mountain that was born just three years ago .
The mountain was very far from King Yang Qiu's field headquarter in Mingu Province . Even if Wu Qi flew with all his power or ran without a rest with Kuafu Steps, it would take him at least a thousand years to reach here, a place on the edge of Pangu Continent . Luckily, King Yang Qiu had Yu Gu, a Supreme Oracle, at his service . With the ability of his Supreme Tower to shatter through the void, it took them only three days to get here .
Standing in their current position and looking into the distance, one could see the dark sky and flickering stars, as well as a thick layer of grayish white gas that blanketed the sky . That was the legendary energy of chaos, which Pangu Continent absorbed directly from the void and turned into its own mountains and rivers . Occasionally, when some essence of the chaos energy condensed together, it turned into all sorts of spirit herbs that Immortals cultivators had always dreamed about .
Because it was only about three years old, the weather in the region ten billion miles around the mountains was very unstable . Spring, summer, autumn, and winter were not obvious here . There would be thunderstorms pouring down from the sky at one moment, and the next moment would have it be replaced by a heavy snow . Frequently, in just less than a quarter of an hour after the snow fell, hailstones as big as hills would rain down with deafening roars .
When Wu Qi arrived here in Yu Gu's Supreme Tower, they were struck by a terrible hailstorm .
Although Wu Qi was a man of wide experience, and he had even witnessed countless terrible natural hazards in the high altitude, he was still stunned and rendered speechless by the magnitude of the hailstorm . The smallest hailstones were about a thousand feet in diameter, and although they looked like hailstones, they were actually highly concentrated forms of Acquired Water-elemental energy . Each hailstone was like a meteor, falling from the sky with a long bright tail . As soon as they hit the ground, they erupted into huge mushroom clouds . It was like millions of nuclear warheads were being detonated simultaneously in this area . The terrible force of impact made the land billions of miles across tremble violently .
But, all that they could cause was the trembling of the ground . The rocks and dirt on Pangu Continent were exceptionally strong, especially on fresh land like this which had just been born from the chaos . It was so strong that even ordinary Gold Immortals could not dig a hole on the ground . So, despite the incredible power of the hailstorm, not even a small stone fell from the mountain . Instead, the hailstones burst into thick and cold liquids that poured down from the thousands of miles tall mountaintops and rushed into the plains like waterfalls .
Each drop of the liquid, which was the physical shape of acquired water-elemental energy, weighed ten thousand pounds; and when they came pouring down from the top of the mountain in the form of waterfalls, the strength and momentum they showed made the few military officers, all of whom were in the realm of the Second Pangu Heaven, take a few steps backward in awe .
"No wonder His Majesty imposed a ban on anyone below the realm of Second Pangu Heaven from approaching new lands that have not been solidified for more than ten thousand years!" A general shook his head and said, "Without the overall strength equivalent of ours, the only consequence when someone is caught up in this waterfall is death!"
Wu Qi nodded in agreement . A place like this was indeed dreadful, but it was also a true land of natural treasures . The extremely rare acquired water-elemental energy had almost flooded the whole land! If an immortal were to conjure all kinds of water-elemental Yin thunder here, he did not have to worry about the raw materials running out!
Suddenly, a strong light caught Wu Qi's eyes; it was from a spirit plant on the mountaintop which had only seven leaves, but twenty-one green-and-blue fruits . Like a black hole, the spirit plant absorbed every drop of liquid, that was the acquired water-elemental energy, around the mountain . Wu Qi clearly saw that the blue in the fruits was getting darker now . Then, the plant flickered and sank into the mountain, leaving Wu Qi no time to pick it .
Hiding in his ear, Ao Buzun sighed and said in a low voice, "What a pity, that's an excellent treasure! It's called 'Taixuan Water-elemental Fruit', or 'Water Dragon Ascending Fruit', an innate spirit herb . If an average flood dragon consumes it, he will immediately become a water-elemental white dragon, and have the innate divine abilities to control water . Well, well, it's a priceless treasure to both the dragon clan and flood dragons!"
Wu Qi's eyes lit up . He let out a loud cry as his body began to spin like a top . Shrouded in a dense layer of purple mist, he shot out like a meteor from the entrance of the Supreme Tower, smashing his fist heavily on the surface of the mountain . He wanted to break the mountain and get the Taixuan Water-elemental Fruits .
