Months continued to pass quietly but peacefully for Shun Long and his group inside the protection of the 'Five-elements protective formation', and yet everything else seemed to remain mostly the same.
Large groups of Dao Kings would often wander through the scorching sands of the 'Endless Desert' as they traversed through it, some of them on the backs of powerful rank 6 magic beasts while others as parts of large groups, but none of them would ever disturb Shun Long and his own group, mainly due the concealing effect of the protective formation that covered them.
Occasionally, gusts of warm wind would often find themselves gently caressing Shun Long's face, carrying with them a faint scent of blood whenever nearby Dao Kings clashed with each other or with any wandering nearby magic beasts that blocked their way, but even those warm breezes would be quickly refined into streams of pure immortal qi by the 'Heaven Swallowing vine' soon afterwards.
