Chapter 2115: Small Fortune, Couple Reunited

A hundred miles away, in a dense forest, the ground suddenly swelled into a mound, and a young man in a yellow shirt emerged from underground, his eyes filled with terror.

A certain weed emitted a dazzling blue light, transforming into a gigantic blue flower.

The young man in yellow dared not linger, knowing his enemies would soon catch up. With a flick of his wrist, a yellow light shot out, revealing a heavily scarred giant yellow python with a broken golden horn on its head.

This was his life-bound spirit beast, the Golden Horned Python, skilled in earth-element abilities. It had been injured recently.

He planned to use his life-bound spirit beast's abilities to escape, hoping it would allow him to evade disaster.

Just then, a huge thunderclap echoed. A blue thundercloud, over ten miles wide, suddenly appeared above the dense forest. The sky instantly darkened, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, creating a heavy sense of oppression.

After the roaring thunder, hundreds of blue lightning orbs flew out from the thundercloud, pouring down.

Terrified, the young man in yellow stomped his right foot firmly on the ground. The ground shook slightly, then turned from soil to sand. Countless yellow sand particles flew up, forming layers of sand screens to protect him.

The dense blue lightning orbs descended, tearing through the yellow sand screens as if they were thin paper.

The young man in yellow felt a powerful spiritual pressure heading straight for him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. The spiritual light on his body surged, and he merged with the Golden Horned Python. The python's aura dramatically increased, reaching the level of a late-stage Soul Transformation cultivator.

A whooshing sound pierced the air, and a nine-colored arrow shot forth, enveloped by countless electric arcs.

The gigantic blue flower's bud blossomed, revealing a hideous gaping maw. It sprayed out a pungent blue venom, striking towards the nine-colored arrow.

As the blue venom approached within ten feet of the nine-colored arrow, it was shattered by the dense electric arcs.

A piercing shriek rang out. The gigantic blue flower's bud was pierced by the nine-colored electric arcs, and then burst open.

The Golden Horned Python quickly sprayed out a yellow mist, enveloping the nine-colored arrow. The arrow seemed to be frozen, unable to move.

Rumbling thunder echoed again, and a blue lightning net, a hundred feet wide, descended from the sky, engulfing the Golden Horned Python.

The Golden Horned Python let out an excruciating roar, its massive body writhing incessantly.

Specks of blue light emerged from the void, and the Lin Turtle appeared. It opened its gaping maw and let out a sharp, piercing shriek. A hazy blue sonic wave swept forth, causing the void to vibrate and distort wherever it passed. Towering trees exploded, turning into countless fragments.

The blue sonic wave struck the Golden Horned Python, sending it flying backward. Large numbers of its scales fell off, and blood flowed continuously.

Hundreds of blue lightning spears descended from the sky, successively striking the Golden Horned Python. The python was engulfed by blinding blue lightning, and the powerful shockwave snapped many towering trees in half.

The nine-colored arrow's spiritual light greatly intensified and plunged into the blue lightning. A miserable male cry then rang out.

A miniature Nascent Soul, clutching a shimmering yellow command banner, flew out from the lightning. It had only flown a few miles when a deafening male shout rang out.

The miniature Nascent Soul trembled, and the yellow command banner in its hand dropped.

A hazy blue miniature pagoda suddenly appeared above the miniature Nascent Soul, emitting a stream of blue mist that drew it inside.

Wang Changsheng flew over from a distance and landed in a giant pit. Inside the pit were two mangled corpses.

Countless green thorns emerged from the ground, encasing a fist-sized green crystal.

“They actually raised so many Fifth-Stage spirit beasts, and even a Fifth-Stage flower demon,” Wang Changsheng said, somewhat surprised, wondering if his Wood Demon could advance to the Fifth Stage by refining the Fifth-Stage flower demon's crystal core.

This time, the Lin Turtle played a significant role in eliminating the two Soul Transformation cultivators. Not only was it proficient in water evasion techniques, but its lightning abilities were also formidable.

Wang Changsheng quickly tidied up the battlefield and left the area.

A short while later, Wang Changsheng appeared inside an unmanned cave.

He held a Nascent Soul in each hand. Dozens of blue iron chains bound the true essence of both Nascent Souls, making it difficult for them to self-destruct.

Wang Changsheng put away the two Nascent Souls and took out a red and a yellow storage ring. With a gentle flick of his wrist, two streaks of mist swept past, and a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

Most of them were bottles and jars, along with many spirit insect eggs, ores, spirit herbs, and more, as well as over ten blank jade slips.

This was not surprising. Before Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan entered the Profound Spirit Grotto-heaven, they also left behind jade slips containing cultivation methods and secret arts at their residence, as per sect rules.

It was unlikely to obtain the cultivation techniques and secret manuals of an enemy sect by killing a powerful opponent. Some core disciples who cultivated important techniques would even set up restrictions to prevent soul-searching.

These two were clearly not core disciples; otherwise, Wang Changsheng's soul-searching would have triggered the restrictions.

Among the items were four Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, one Sixth-Stage evasion talisman, seven three-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, thirteen Golden-Beard Jade Sun Fruits to assist Nascent Soul cultivators in breaking through to Soul Transformation, forty-five thousand-year-old spirit herbs, and two Myriad Beast Pills to help spirit insects advance to the Fifth Stage.

As the saying goes, 'a horse doesn't get fat without night fodder, and a man doesn't get rich without a windfall.' These two Myriad Spirit Sect disciples had intended to kill and seize treasures, but they hadn't expected to bite off more than they could chew.

Wang Changsheng performed soul-searching on them and learned a great deal of information.

“The Seven-Hued Sparrow's nest, and the Void Essence Fruit!” Wang Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and an expression of interest appeared on his face.

An ancestor of the Myriad Spirit Sect had discovered the Seven-Hued Sparrow's nest, which contained a Void Essence Fruit tree. The Void Essence Fruit was a rare heavenly and earthly fruit that could assist Soul Transformation cultivators in breaking through to the Void Refinement stage.

The Seven-Hued Sparrow was a descendant of the Five-Colored Peacock, inheriting some of its formidable divine abilities.

The last time Myriad Spirit Sect cultivators discovered the Seven-Hued Sparrow, it was already at the late Fifth Stage. So many years had passed; it might have already advanced to the Sixth Stage, making it extremely troublesome.

Wang Changsheng possessed a set of Fifth-Stage formations, which could trap the Seven-Hued Sparrow for a period. However, it wouldn't be easy to obtain the Void Essence Fruit by himself. He wished he could reunite with Wang Ruyan.

Suddenly, a dazzling green light emanated from Wang Changsheng's chest. His eyes filled with deep joy.

He took out a pale blue spherical bead from his robes. The bead shimmered with spiritual light. He cast a spell into it, and the blue bead immediately shone brightly and flew outwards.

It was a Spirit Tracking Bead, a tracking spiritual treasure that could sense a target's location within a certain range.

Wang Changsheng collected the items on the ground and pursued it.

Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng stopped. In the distance, a golden streak of light, moving exceptionally fast, was visible across the horizon.

Behind the golden streak were over ten red streaks of light.

Wang Changsheng's divine sense detected over a dozen Fifth-Stage demonic birds pursuing Wang Ruyan.

Wang Ruyan also noticed Wang Changsheng and quickly sent him a telepathic message: “Husband, retreat quickly! Those are over ten Fifth-Stage Human-faced Vultures. These demonic birds hold grudges fiercely.”

Wang Changsheng wasn't afraid of the Human-faced Vultures, but there was no need to engage them. It would be bad if they attracted Sixth-Stage demonic beasts or other enemies.

Wang Changsheng took a deep breath and let out a loud roar, causing the void to vibrate and distort.

The over ten Fifth-Stage Human-faced Vultures suddenly stopped, with a few even falling from high in the sky.

Seizing this opportunity, the Golden Eagle Puppet Beast, carrying Wang Ruyan, landed before Wang Changsheng.

After a dazzling yellow light erupted from their bodies, they drilled into the ground and disappeared.

A moment later, the over ten Human-faced Vultures arrived. Unable to use earth evasion techniques to pursue Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, they vented their frustration on the dense forest, destroying a large number of towering trees before finally leaving.
