Chapter 3104: 30.86 Million Swords Return to Origin

A ripple in the void appeared, and a small tower, shimmering with blue light, materialized. As the runes on its body brightened, its size surged, transforming into a massive blue tower over a hundred zhang tall. The moment the blue giant tower appeared, Wang Huanyu spat out a beam of golden light, enveloping the hundred-zhang void around it. The blue giant tower remained perfectly still.

Qing Chi frowned. Just as he was about to cast a spell to attack Wang Qingshan and his two companions, a man's loud shout echoed. Their brows furrowed tightly, and their bodies trembled slightly, feeling as if their spiritual consciousness was about to be torn apart.

Flying sand and rolling stones, trees, weeds, and even seawater transformed into tens of thousands of flying swords, all rushing directly towards them. After a series of thunderous roars, smoke and dust billowed, and shockwaves surged like tides. After a while, the shockwaves dispersed. Long Tianyan and the other four were covered in dust and grime, with several bloodstains on their bodies, looking very disheveled.

"Myriad Swords Return to Origin! This is a unique divine ability from the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture. Could it be a disciple of the Seven Sword Palace?" Long Tianyan's eyes were filled with apprehension.

The Seven Sword Palace is one of the foremost human forces in the Azure Glaze Sea Domain. Its Grand Elder, True Master Seven Swords, is a Mahayana cultivator and a sword cultivator. Most disciples of the Seven Sword Palace practice sword manipulation techniques, including the Myriad Spirit Sword Scripture. The Seven Sword Palace's territory borders the Nine Dragon Palace, leading to constant conflicts. Several elders from the Nine Dragon Palace had suffered losses at the hands of Seven Sword Palace Integration stage cultivators, so Long Tianyan recognized the origin of the divine ability Wang Qingshan used at a glance.

Besides Myriad Swords Return to Origin, the opponent's spiritual sense attack was also very powerful, making Long Tianyan extremely wary. Most importantly, he didn't know what the other party had taken. If it was just a few mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasures, there would be no need to pursue them, but if it was a high-grade Tribulation Transcending Treasure, they would naturally have to pursue relentlessly. Wu Xin, who possessed spatial divine abilities, was killed, which indicated the immense power of the opponent's divine abilities.

"Myriad Swords Return to Origin? Is it that formidable?" Qing Chi asked doubtfully. The territory of the Azure Carp Tribe did not border the Seven Sword Palace, so while he had heard of this divine ability, he had never experienced it.

Long Tianyan snorted and pressed further. "Hmph, if he had a mid-Integration stage cultivation, we would be fleeing for our lives. If he were in the late-Integration stage, it would be quite good if we could even escape. It seems his sword intent has not reached mastery, otherwise he wouldn't need to run. What exactly was inside that immortal's cave?"

When True Master Seven Swords first entered the Integration stage, his sword intent reached mastery. He consecutively slew two mid-Integration stage elders of the Nine Dragon Palace, making his name known throughout the Azure Glaze Sea Domain. However, True Master Seven Swords had not appeared for over ten thousand years.

"There's a mid-grade Heavenly Spirit Treasure called the Myriad Beast Bell, which can command demon beasts below Tier 7," Qing Chi explained. "This treasure was refined by the Myriad Treasure Divine Lord and is said to have been passed down to his disciple, True Monarch Hundred Puppets. True Monarch Hundred Puppets is a Tier 7 artifact refiner, capable of refining Tier 7 puppet beasts. Perhaps there were other valuable treasures too."

"The Myriad Beast Bell? Perhaps? Hmph, I have no interest in puppetry," Long Tianyan snorted, immediately dismissing the idea of pursuing Wang Qingshan. He had thought there might be a high-grade Tribulation Transcending Treasure; who would have thought it was just the Myriad Beast Bell and puppetry?

"Fellow Daoist Long," Qing Chi asked, his eyes narrowing and his expression turning cold, "how did you know we were coming here to seek treasure?" Just as Long Tianyan was wary of Wang Qingshan and his two companions, Qing Chi was equally wary.

"We killed a Shaman race cultivator, and through soul-searching, we discovered they had spies among your Azure Carp Tribe," Long Tianyan replied. "The news of your treasure hunt had already leaked. By the way, the Shaman race and the Han family are currently contending for a Tier 7 Nine-Colored Worm. If we block the exit, we might have a chance to obtain it."

They had just fought fiercely over the treasure, but now, for their own benefit, they could also cooperate.

"A Tier 7 Nine-Colored Worm! Is that true?" Qing Chi exclaimed, his breathing quickening.

Long Tianyan raised his right hand, and a red jade box flew out, heading towards Qing Chi. Qing Chi's spiritual sense scanned it several times, finding no abnormalities. He flicked his sleeve, and the jade box shattered into pieces, revealing a miniature Nascent Soul before him, with a silver talisman affixed to its body. He performed soul-searching on the miniature Nascent Soul, confirming that Long Tianyan had not lied.

"Since we can't obtain True Monarch Hundred Puppets' legacy, it wouldn't be bad if we could get the Tier 7 Nine-Colored Worm instead," Qing Chi mused for a moment. "Let's do it!" With only their side's power, they couldn't obtain the Nine-Colored Worm, but if they joined forces, there was still a chance.

The five of them left the area and rushed towards the exit of the Myriad Spirit Ruins.

In a hidden underground cave, the stone walls were uneven, with many profound runes visible. In a corner of the cave was a teleportation array over ten zhang in size. The teleportation array suddenly lit up brightly. A dazzling spiritual light flashed forth, and Wang Qingshan and his six companions appeared.

Wang Xiangrong had prepared a contingency by setting up a small teleportation array here, capable of teleporting them tens of thousands of miles away. While Wang Qingshan and Duan Tongtian were seizing the treasure, Wang Xiangrong found a spot to set up the array, testing it several times without issue before they teleported over. Outside, Wang Xiangrong could set up teleportation arrays capable of covering millions of miles. But here, in the Myriad Spirit Ruins, there were many restrictions, so he didn't dare set up an array with too long a range. A distance of tens of thousands of miles was enough to shake off their enemies, as their enemies wouldn't dare pursue them recklessly.

Duan Tongtian's face was pale, and he had lost a significant amount of vital energy. After they teleported over, they immediately destroyed the teleportation array to prevent their enemies from following them.

"Fellow Daoist Duan, are you alright?" Wang Qingshan asked with concern. If Duan Tongtian hadn't pushed him, he might have been sucked into the black hole too. Even if Duan Tongtian had only bought them a moment, it was still remarkable, as a single moment could decide many things.

During this trip to the Myriad Spirit Ruins, Wang Xiangrong and the others played significant roles. Wang Qingfeng's warning puppets and treasure-hunting puppets were very practical, Wang Tunyan's eyes could detect enemies in advance, Wang Xiangrong could set up teleportation arrays for escape, and Wang Huanyu could tear open a temporary space to help them avoid danger. Relying solely on Wang Qingshan's strength, he wouldn't have been able to snatch treasure from the Azure Carp Tribe and the Nine Dragon Palace, like taking food from a tiger's mouth.

"I'm mostly fine," Duan Tongtian said, a lingering fear on his face. "Thankfully, Huanyu acted in time, otherwise I might have died in the spatial turbulence." Against an Integration stage cultivator who controlled spatial divine abilities, he had no power to resist. At least Wang Qingshan could use the Spirit Quelling Roar to interfere.

"This was my duty. Senior Duan, you flatter me," Wang Huanyu said with a smile.

Wang Qingshan took out a golden demon core, handed it to Wang Huanyu, and said, "This is his inner core; it should be helpful for your advancement." Wu Xin's true form was a Tier 7 low-grade Golden Flame Crow, possessing a Heavenly Phoenix bloodline and spatial divine abilities. Wang Huanyu also possessed spatial divine abilities, so Wu Xin's inner core would be somewhat helpful for her advancement, making it not an issue for her to advance to the late Void Refinement stage. Wang Huanyu thanked him repeatedly and accepted the inner core.

"Seventh Brother, what good things were in the immortal's cave? Was it really True Monarch Hundred Puppets' cultivation cave?" Wang Qingfeng asked, his face full of curiosity.
