Chapter 2481: Leaving the Wilderness

Wang Yingjie collaborated with a fifth-tier Void-Splitting Beast to ascend to the Xuanyang Realm. He ended up in the barren lands, and the Void-Splitting Beast became separated from him.

Wang Changsheng's gaze fell upon more than a dozen jade boxes. He opened them one by one, finding that most contained millennium-old spiritual herbs, eight in total. One jade box held two cyan porcelain bottles. Upon careful inspection, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that both bottles contained the Water of Creation, over two hundred drops in all.

With so much Water of Creation, the Wood Demon might recover, and there was hope of lifting the seal on half a page of the Heavenly Void Jade Tome.

One of the jade boxes contained the nascent soul of a Lizard clan member, with a shimmering golden talisman affixed to it.

Wang Changsheng performed soul-searching on it, gaining much useful information.

The Lizard clan had sent a Body Integration cultivator to lead a team of over ten Void Refinement cultivators into the barren lands to search for materials to condense Dharma Idols. Along the way, they discovered a sixth-tier Void-Splitting Beast. Four Void Refinement cultivators teamed up to kill the beast, obtaining four spiritual beast eggs. Later, they encountered the Yaksha clan.

Wang Changsheng's gaze landed on the black spiritual beast egg. It appeared to be a Void-Splitting Beast egg, perfect for Wang Ruyan to raise, as he already had enough spiritual beasts.

One of the jade boxes contained two crystalline white stones, exuding a bone-chilling coldness, causing numerous white ice shards to appear in the air.

"Ice Soul Crystal!"

Wang Changsheng was overjoyed. The Ice Soul Crystal was a material for condensing Dharma Idols, which could be used for Wang Qingxiao.

There were eighteen Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures, including one mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Myriad Ghost Seal. The Myriad Ghost Seal still contained many ghosts, making it an excellent supplement for the Soul Devouring Golden Cicada to advance to the sixth tier.

It was merely a mid-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, and Wang Changsheng could already refine such items, so he wasn't particularly concerned about it.

Once the Soul Devouring Golden Cicada advanced to the sixth tier, it could provide more divine sense feedback to Wang Changsheng, further increasing the power of his Divine Suppressing Roar.

When the two of them performed the Nine Revolutions Divine Cultivation Art, their combined divine sense reached the early Body Integration stage, capable of directly stunning late Void Refinement cultivators. This could be considered a trump card, and as their cultivation and divine sense improved, this divine ability would become even more potent.

There were over two thousand high-grade spirit stones, seven top-grade spirit stones, and a cyan beast hide. The hide was clearly a topographic map, with the characters "Myriad Spirits" prominently displayed on it.

"Could it be a map of the Myriad Spirit Abyss?"

Wang Changsheng was both surprised and uncertain. The Myriad Spirit Abyss was a dangerous place in the Xuanling Continent, an ancient battlefield left behind from a battle between Celestial Venerable Xuanling and a foreign Grand Ascension realm cultivator, where seventh-tier demonic beasts roamed.

The border between the human race and the Yaksha clan was very long, and the Myriad Spirit Abyss was located somewhere along this border.

Wang Changsheng took out the purple-robed man's nascent soul and performed soul-searching on it, experiencing both surprise and delight.

This topographic map was indeed a partial map of the Myriad Spirit Abyss. The purple-robed man had once entered the Myriad Spirit Abyss to search for treasures, and the Myriad Ghost Seal was something he had obtained from there.

"Husband, did you acquire anything good?"

Wang Ruyan's gentle voice sounded.

Wang Changsheng turned his head and saw Wang Ruyan emerging from a grotto, her face slightly pale.

If Wang Changsheng hadn't refined the Tribulation-Substitute Bead, Wang Ruyan would have perished this time. Her early Void Refinement cultivation was too low. With the true spirit origin and the assistance of the Heavenly Sound Pendant, her cultivation speed would greatly increase.

Wang Changsheng recounted everything truthfully, without any concealment.

"Wife, you can raise this Void-Splitting Beast! I have enough spiritual beasts already."

Wang Changsheng suggested.

This time, Wang Ruyan did not refuse.

The Lion-Kirin Beast and the Green-Eyed Cold Silkworm had both passed away, leaving her with only the Soul Devouring Golden Cicada.

The Twin-Pupil Rat and the Kirin Turtle both possessed considerable divine abilities, especially the Kirin Turtle, which could serve as a defensive treasure in critical moments. It wasn't that Wang Ruyan didn't want to raise spiritual beasts; it was just that she looked down on ordinary ones, as they were often inferior even to Nascent Soul-stage talismanic soldiers!

The Void-Splitting Beast mastered spatial divine abilities, and once it matured, it would undoubtedly be a great asset.

Wang Changsheng put away the materials on the ground and conjured a shimmering yellow metallic orb. He struck it with a magic incantation, and the orb immediately lit up, transforming into a yellow giant python over a hundred zhang long. The yellow python was over two zhang tall, with dull eyes. This was a fifth-tier puppet beast.

It was safer to travel underground; on the surface, it was easy to encounter foreign races or high-tier demonic beasts.

Wang Changsheng struck a magic incantation, and several scales on the yellow python's belly shifted, revealing a large entrance.

Wang Changsheng put away the formation, and he and Wang Ruyan walked inside. As he changed his incantation, the entrance closed.

The yellow python emitted a bright yellow light from its body, effortlessly burrowing into the rock wall and swiftly moving forward underground.

On a vast, boundless green grassland, there were numerous giant pits on the ground.

Wang Dafei was engaged in a magical battle with a tall young man in a yellow shirt. The young man had a pair of yellow feathered wings on his back, long ears, a high nose, a green face, and tusks.

A giant's phantom wildly attacked a Yaksha phantom. As the giant's phantom moved its arms, dense fist shadows smashed towards its opponent.

The Yaksha phantom spat out a hazy yellow sound wave, shattering the incoming fist shadows.

A fierce glint flashed in the yellow-shirted young man's eyes. With a gentle flap of the yellow feathered wings on his back, he vanished from his spot.

A yellow light suddenly flared behind Wang Dafei, and the yellow-shirted young man reappeared.

Wang Dafei reacted quickly, clenching his right fist and turning to strike at the yellow-shirted young man.

The yellow-shirted young man showed no fear, his right fist glowing brightly as he met the blow.

The two fists collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave. Wang Dafei's face flushed red, and he was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Just as the yellow-shirted young man was about to deliver a fatal blow, a cyan lightning flash suddenly erupted behind him, and Ximen Yue appeared, holding a cyan lightning spear.

She swung the cyan lightning spear, thrusting it towards the yellow-shirted young man.

With a dull clang, the cyan lightning spear seemed to strike an impenetrable copper wall.

Ximen Yue snorted coldly. The cyan lightning spear immediately flared brightly, unleashing countless cyan electric arcs that engulfed the yellow-shirted young man's figure, followed by a scream.

A hazy yellow fist flew out from the cyan lightning, striking towards Ximen Yue.

The lightning around Ximen Yue's body surged, and she vanished.

A tremendous roar came from high in the sky, as thousands of silver lightning orbs descended, crashing successively into the cyan lightning field.

With rumbling roars, the dazzling lightning engulfed an area of several dozen li.

Hundreds of li away, a cyan light flashed in the void, revealing a charred yellow-shirted young man covered in bloodstains, his eyes filled with terror.

"Wind Escape Art! Faster than my Lightning Escape Art?"

A cold female voice rang out.

As soon as her voice faded, a cyan light flashed, and a shimmering cyan giant pagoda suddenly appeared above the yellow-shirted young man's head, emitting a hazy cyan glow that enveloped him.

The yellow-shirted young man's body uncontrollably flew towards the cyan giant pagoda. Just as he was about to activate his Dharma Idol to escape, Ximen Yue opened her mouth and spat out a four-colored lightning beam of cyan, gold, blue, and red, striking the yellow-shirted young man, who screamed in agony.

The cyan glow suddenly rolled, sweeping the yellow-shirted young man into the cyan giant pagoda.

At this moment, Wang Dafei also arrived.

"I am Wang Dafei. Many thanks, Immortal Ximen, for your rescue."

Wang Dafei expressed his gratitude. He didn't know Ximen Yue personally but recognized the Ximen family crest.

"It was nothing. By the way, have you encountered the Azure Lotus Immortals? Or do you have any news about them? They are being hunted by a Yaksha clan cultivator at the Void Refinement Grand Perfection stage."

Ximen Yue asked, having been drawn by the sounds of battle.

"The Azure Lotus Immortals? Do you mean True Person Taihao and Immortal Tianqin?"

Wang Dafei asked curiously. He had fought alongside Wang Qingshan and Lan Fukong before and knew that the Azure Lotus Immortals referred to True Person Taihao and Immortal Tianqin.

"Precisely. Have you encountered them?"

Ximen Yue asked, puzzled.

"No."

Wang Dafei shook his head.

Ximen Yue looked somewhat disappointed and said, "You should leave this place soon! The Yaksha clan seems to be frantically searching everywhere for the Azure Lotus Immortals. If you happen to meet them, tell them to be careful."

After saying this, Ximen Yue transformed into a ball of cyan lightning and vanished.

"The Azure Lotus Immortals are being hunted by a Yaksha cultivator at the Void Refinement Grand Perfection stage. What did they do? Never mind, I'll leave this place first."

Wang Dafei wondered, but unable to figure it out, he stopped pondering and left the area.

All Void Refinement cultivators of the Yaksha clan in the barren lands had received orders to intercept and kill the Azure Lotus Immortals. Simultaneously, human cultivators led by the Ximen family had received orders to rescue the Azure Lotus Immortals, and they also knew the news that the Azure Lotus Immortals had escaped from a Yaksha cultivator at the Void Refinement Grand Perfection stage.
