Food System in Cultivation World-Chapter 361 - 348:

Another student raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and also stammered, shivering in response:

"Yes, yes, that’s how it is... I also, I also saw it!"

"That dragon seems to be struggling."

"But it can’t break free! It’s unable to escape the restraint of that hand, its front neck has retreated from the Dragon Gate!"

"Its fish tail is being pressed into the river, the black mist around it is dissipating in the rain..."

"No, you saw it wrong, the black mist is not dissipating in the rain, but is returning to the river water."

"You’re talking nonsense, how could the black mist return to the river? If that were the case, wouldn’t the river water be tainted with resentment again?"

"You, you, you’re all wrong! The black mist is neither dissipating in the rain nor returning to the river, but is being dispelled by the sunlight..."

The students were arguing non-stop when suddenly someone exclaimed:

"Look, everyone, the rain, it’s stopped!"

Yes, the rain had indeed stopped.

The storm had stopped at some point, but everyone was too focused on watching the person and dragon in the distant sky to notice the rain stopping at first.

And even more amazing changes were yet to come.

The rain stopping was just the beginning.

With the sudden stop of the rainstorm, in the sky, the hand that seemed lightly floating but was as heavy as a mountain, had completely pressed the evil dragon’s body out of the Dragon Gate, leaving only the dragon’s head still resisting.

The giant dragon roared continuously, seeming to want to create greater waves to shake off the person above.

But although its roar was loud, the originally boiling river instead gradually calmed and slowed as its body, retreated.

The waves became smaller and smaller.

Even the torrential water that had already surged into Pingyang City seemed to be gradually receding.

At some point, Yu Zhi stood up from the water with a splash, looking around in confusion.

He saw that the water, which had previously almost submerged half of the city, suddenly receded on its own at some moment just now.

He had been swimming with all his might in the storm, having already disregarded life and death, determined only to save people.

But now, where was the wind? Where was the rain? Where was the great flood?

The water receded so quickly that what could just now submerge a person was soon only ankle-deep, and now, the water was shallow enough to barely cover Yu Zhi’s ankle.

He lifted a foot, splashing water around.

At this point, he finally heard bursts of exclamations from above: "The water has receded! That evil dragon has even more than half withdrawn from the dragon water!"

"It’s reached the dragon’s eye, soon, soon..."

What’s soon?

Yu Zhi didn’t understand what exactly was happening when suddenly he heard the crying of a child.

"Waaah! Mom, I’m so scared, I’m so scared..."

He turned his head and saw at the corner of the street where the water had receded, beside a broken wooden plank, the woman from before was sitting up, holding her child.

The child was crying loudly, while the woman looked around with a mix of astonishment and joy.

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, my dear, everything’s okay now, the water has receded, the rain has stopped..."

The next moment, a man stumbled up from the ground, also jubilantly rushing toward them.

"Qin Niang! The water has receded, you’re okay, the little one is okay, we’re all fine!"

The family of three reunited quickly, overjoyed, and weeping with relief.

Yu Zhi stood alone to the side, unnoticed by anyone.

His heart, however, was pounding rapidly, joy spreading from his heart, engulfing his entire body, and rushing to his head.

A strong sense of dizziness hit him, and Yu Zhi feared all of this was an illusion, he couldn’t help but reach out, suddenly pinching his thigh hard.

"Ouch!"

Yu Zhi jumped up in pain.

He then banged hard into the column next to him, causing the house to tremble, prompting classmates on top to finally remember him, hurriedly leaning over to look.

Only to see Yu Zhi clutching his head, grimacing in pain.

His classmates burst into laughter, about to mock him, but couldn’t bear to look away from the wondrous scene happening afar.

"Look quickly, that evil dragon’s eyes are about to be fully withdrawn from the Dragon Gate, only the dragon horns at the top are left!"

"A single hand subduing a dragon that has turned the entire Pingyang Prefecture upside down, this person... no, what kind of Immortal can do this?"

"Why does he look so relaxed, as if the evil dragon isn’t resisting?"

"How do you know it’s not resisting? Perhaps this Immortal is too powerful, rendering the evil dragon’s all resistance futile?"

"Precisely, precisely, just like if you step on an ant inadvertently while walking, do you think the ant resisted, could it even?"

Comparing the ant to the evil dragon that once stirred massive tsunamis highlights the strength of the one subduing the dragon even more.

Yu Zhi listened below, his heart stirred, dizzy with amazement.

He somewhat understood why the water receded, he felt his heartbeat was not just about to jump out of his throat, but was about to shock him to death completely.

Yu Zhi had too many questions he wanted to ask, but he was so excited that he couldn’t say anything, only scrambling frantically to find a ladder, hurriedly climbing back onto the roof.

Asking anything more is not as good as climbing to the rooftop now to see with his own eyes.

On the rooftop, people were still debating animatedly.

When shocked to a certain extent, the only feelings left in people’s hearts are admiration and yearning.

"Quick, look, that dragon horn is also starting to withdraw from the Dragon Gate!"

"It’s unimaginable, what kind of figure, what kind of status does this Immortal have. If we could befriend this Immortal..."

"Are you dreaming?"

"Alas!"

As the dragon horns were about to fully exit the Dragon Gate, suddenly a light sigh was heard.

This sigh didn’t come from anyone present but resonated from the distant sky, the same resentful woman’s voice that had previously brought disaster to countless civilians.

It was "Lady Xie"!

Xie Jiang, the imperial envoy for water control of Celestial South Dao ten years ago, daughter of Xie Huaizheng.

The tone of the woman’s voice was sorrowful, each word filled with accusation:

"You single-handedly subdued the dragon with such mighty power, yet why do you stand against my orphan and widow?

If you possess such abilities, why don’t you govern this decaying land?

Why don’t you open your eyes and see the struggles of all living things!

You, with such power, choose to bully us orphans and widows without anyone to back us. My child and I, we only seek revenge..."

Before the words were finished, a voice echoed saying: "No, you are not alone. Xie Jiang, turn around and see."

Above the mighty Yuan Cang River, Chen Xu felt the wondrous power of [Binding the Dragon, Returning the Waves].

The wild waves in the city completely receded under his control, the water level of Yuan Cang River was rapidly returning to normal.

And under his palm, the evil dragon that couldn’t escape no matter how much it struggled was on the verge of being completely pushed out of the Dragon Gate—

At that moment, Xie Jiang, who had only been heard but not seen, finally sprang from the water into the air.

Her long white hair fell straight to her ankles, and when she soared into the sky, her hair fluttering behind did not resemble hair, but rather seemed like a thousand strands of water weeds.

No, it didn’t resemble water weeds, it looked more like countless wailing spirits!

The moment Xie Jiang appeared, the whole sky seemed to dim briefly.

As she began to speak softly,
