A sudden change occurred, but Lu Qing’s expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated this all along.
He opened his palm, and a gigantic multicolored Magic Giant Palm condensed in mid-air, slapping towards that figure.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar that shook the earth and mountains, that huge figure was slapped away by Lu Qing, crashing into another mountain wall and rolling in pain.
"Settle."
However, as Lu Qing uttered a single word, the enormous figure immediately froze, entirely enveloped and suppressed by a layer of yellow light, unable to move.
"So it was a White Flood Dragon."
When Lu Qing saw clearly the appearance of that figure, he was a bit surprised.
He had long sensed a faint yet elusive aura in the deep pool.
He wasn’t too surprised, after all, this valley was the Array Eye of a terrain formed by the convergence of mountain ranges extending a thousand miles around, a true cultivation treasure trove. It would be more peculiar if no living creatures occupied it.
However, what he didn’t anticipate was that the occupant of this valley turned out to be a White Flood Dragon.
Moreover, this White Flood Dragon appeared rather unusual, with exceptionally beautiful Scale Armor, four claws under its belly, and a pair of jade-like horns on its head, clearly not an ordinary spiritual beast.
Out of curiosity, Lu Qing couldn’t help but activate his Superpower and gazed at it.
Soon, several strips of information emerged from the White Flood Dragon.
After reading the pieces of information, Lu Qing was even more astonished.
"Ice Frost Jade Serpent, an Ice Element Serpent with True Dragon bloodline?"
Lu Qing did not expect that the White Flood Dragon, at the late stage of the Demon Core realm, still possessed a True Dragon bloodline.
Seeing the plea in the White Flood Dragon’s eyes, Lu Qing pondered for a moment.
He considered whether he should take over someone else’s cultivation ground, or whether it might be better not to be too cruel.
So he casually flicked a strand of Divine Soul Power, letting it sink into the Forehead Acupoint of the White Flood Dragon.
"I want to meditate here for some time. You will protect the perimeter for me, and you’ll be rewarded naturally afterward. If you try any tricks or attempt to escape, you should know the consequences."
The White Flood Dragon, feeling the immense and awe-inspiring Divine Soul Mark in its Forehead Acupoint, grew even more fearful and nodded repeatedly.
"As long as you understand, now go back and heal."
Lu Qing casually lifted the Sealing Power from the White Flood Dragon, dismissing it back.
The power of his earlier slap was not small.
Even with the White Flood Dragon’s strong Physical Body, it was still hit with a cracked skull, and nearly half its head was about to shatter.
Now more golden-tinged white blood flowed continuously from its mouth, dripping to the ground and forming patches of frost.
Sensing the removal of the Sealing Power from its body, the White Flood Dragon was initially delighted, but Lu Qing’s words made it shudder.
It nodded continuously at Lu Qing, expressing submission, only then did it slide slowly back into the deep pool under Lu Qing’s approving gaze.
This time, it was seriously injured, and it might take several years to fully recover.
Watching the White Flood Dragon’s figure disappear into the deep pool, Lu Qing smiled.
He wasn’t afraid of the White Flood Dragon escaping; the Divine Soul Mark he left in its Forehead Acupoint wasn’t easy to dissolve.
If it harbored any treacherous intent, he could detonate the Divine Soul Mark. Even if he couldn’t completely annihilate it, it would undoubtedly suffer severe Divine Soul damage.
This White Flood Dragon wasn’t lacking in spiritual wisdom, and he trusted it knew how to choose wisely.
Not only had Lu Qing smoothly resolved the matter of the White Flood Dragon, but he also unexpectedly gained a guardian, which was a pleasant surprise.
After this little episode, Lu Qing began to get busy again.
Primarily, he intended to take advantage of this terrain and set up an Array around the valley.
This valley, as the Array Eye of the Heaven and Earth Formation spanning a thousand miles, was rich enough in spiritual charm, but its defense capabilities were almost nil.
Since Lu Qing planned to meditate here, he needed to prepare adequately.
Instantly, in the time that followed, he eventually spent several days setting up a grand Array around the valley to protect his secluded meditation site.
Whiz!
He flicked a Jade Talisman deep underground, connecting it with a vein of the earth.
The next moment, as the Jade Talisman gently trembled, an invisible wave spread out.
Soon after, among the dozens of miles around, many of the Jade Talismans Lu Qing had set up in the past few days began vibrating simultaneously, linking with one another.
In an underground space invisible to outsiders, countless circulating flows of earth energy suddenly became orderly, forming an extremely powerful Array.
Feeling these changes, Lu Qing smiled, "Mission accomplished."
This Array was what he recreated by utilizing the natural formation spanning a thousand miles and combining it with the Circulation Star Array.
With this Array, even those in the Primordial Spirit Realm, Great Powers under the Third Tribulation, wouldn’t easily break through the formation and disturb his cultivation.
After arranging the grand formation, Lu Qing transformed into a stream of light and quickly returned to the valley, flying into the cave.
Then he activated the Array to seal the cave, preparing to officially enter secluded meditation.
