Chapter 3390: Re-entering the Myriad Spirits Ruins

Ever since their last expedition to the Myriad Spirit Ruins, the Wang family had been diligently collecting maps of the area. After over ten millennia of dedicated effort, they had amassed a significant number of them. However, the Myriad Spirit Ruins were vast, with many areas rarely explored, so they had only managed to acquire partial maps.

"The Myriad Spirit Ruins are about to open," Wang Qingfeng announced, pointing to a specific location on the map. "We'll go in together to search for treasures. Our primary objective is to eliminate the seventh-tier Five-Thunder Beast, and our secondary target is the seventh-tier Ice Serpent. The Five-Thunder Beast is highly likely to be here; if it survived for ten millennia, its strength would have increased considerably, making it a formidable opponent not to be underestimated."

Wang Qingfeng, Dong Xueli, and Duan Tongtian, all at the Mid-Integration stage, were well-prepared. They had brought along multiple powerful treasures and several sets of seventh-tier formations, hoping to successfully eliminate the beast.

Wang Rumeng nodded and replied, "I'll follow your lead." Since advancing to the Integration stage, she had hunted seventh-tier demonic beasts and sparred with other Integration cultivators. As a seventh-tier talisman master, she had learned the art from Wang Ruyan. Upon learning that the Myriad Spirit Ruins would open, Wang Rumeng actively volunteered to join the treasure hunt. Wang Qingfeng also saw this as an excellent opportunity to provide her with valuable experience, as opportunities for the family's Integration cultivators to hone their skills were scarce with few conflicts on the Profound Spirit Continent.

A faint sound of footsteps heralded the entrance of a tall young man in a golden robe and Wang Shenfeng. The young man's eyes glowed with a faint golden light, clearly indicating he was not human. This was Wang Hui, a sixth-tier Nine-Colored Worm that the family had captured from a secret realm. After consuming a Spirit Enlightenment Pill, the Nine-Colored Worm successfully transformed into human form. Under the Wang family's dedicated cultivation, he had already advanced to the Integration stage.

Wang Hui would also be entering the Myriad Spirit Ruins. The Witch Tribe had previously captured a seventh-tier mid-grade Nine-Colored Worm there, suggesting there might be more. The Wang family sent Wang Hui into the Myriad Spirit Ruins for two main reasons: first, to search for other Nine-Colored Worms, and second, to consume high-grade ores found within the ruins. The Myriad Spirit Ruins contained seventh-tier ore veins, but due to time constraints, manual mining would be too time-consuming and inefficient. Therefore, Wang Hui could simply consume them.

Since advancing to the Integration stage, Wang Hui had consumed a considerable amount of seventh-tier ores and jade, but he had yet to excrete the Nine-Colored Divine Clay. A seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm was incredibly voracious; it was unknown how many seventh-tier ores and jade it needed to consume before excreting the Nine-Colored Divine Clay. Besides refining materials, it even ate Spirit Treasures. Currently, Wang Hui was only interested in mid-grade Spirit Treasures, having no appetite for low-grade ones.

Wang Shenfeng, currently at the Mid-Void Refinement stage, would also accompany Wang Qingfeng and the others into the Myriad Spirit Ruins, serving as a helper.

"Where have you two been? We're about to leave," Wang Yier asked casually. As the head of the Treasure Hunting Hall, Wang Yier was also participating in this expedition.

"We went for a stroll and found a Seven-Colored Glazed Crystal at the rogue cultivators' market," Wang Hui explained. He was highly sensitive to high-grade refining materials; even if they were concealed by other objects, they couldn't escape his detection.

"Let's go! Everyone's here. Time to depart," Wang Qingfeng said, waving his hand, putting away the map, and standing up to leave.

After exiting the market, Wang Qingfeng summoned a red-glowing flying boat and boarded it, with Duan Tongtian and the others following closely. "Let's go!" he commanded. With a low roar, the red flying boat emitted a dazzling red light and ascended rapidly into the sky, soon vanishing from sight.

Meanwhile, on Witch God Island, within a resplendent manor, a young woman in a white dress with delicate makeup sat in a green stone pavilion. Cui Yao and dozens of other cultivators stood in neat rows, their expressions respectful.

"I hope we can acquire a seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm this time!" the young woman in white declared solemnly. She was Wu Xue, an avatar of the Witch Tribe's Grand Ascension cultivator Wu Li, and possessed late-Integration stage cultivation. During the last opening of the Myriad Spirit Ruins, many factions claimed the Witch Tribe had obtained a seventh-tier mid-grade Nine-Colored Worm, which subsequently triggered a racial war. With the Myriad Spirit Ruins opening again, the Witch Tribe hoped to find another seventh-tier Nine-Colored Worm.

Cui Yao had already advanced to the Integration stage, thanks to the spiritual materials and treasures provided by her family. The high-ranking members of the tribe selected cultivators to enter the Myriad Spirit Ruins for treasure hunting, and Cui Yao volunteered to participate. She hoped that if the Witch Tribe acquired anything valuable, she would have the opportunity to know and then inform her family.

"Everyone is here. Let's depart," Wu Xue announced. She flicked her wrist, and a white light shot out from her spirit beast bracelet, revealing a completely white centipede with four wings on its back and spewing cold air from its mouth. Judging by its aura, it was clearly a seventh-tier spirit insect. Wu Xue stepped onto the white centipede's back, followed by Cui Yao and the others. She performed a hand seal, and the white centipede let out a piercing shriek. With a gentle flap of its wings, it stirred up a cold gust of wind and and soared into the sky, departing Witch God Island.

Multiple factions from the Azure Glaze Sea Region sent their cultivators into the Myriad Spirit Ruins for treasure hunting, leading to a convergence of various powers at the site.

At the entrance to the Myriad Spirit Ruins, a red light appeared on the distant horizon. Soon after, it stopped. The light faded, revealing a shimmering red flying boat. Wang Qingfeng and the others stood aboard, their expressions solemn.

"Is this the Myriad Spirit Ruins?" Wang Yier asked, his face full of curiosity. It was his first time visiting the Myriad Spirit Ruins.

Wang Qingfeng nodded, performed a hand seal, and the red flying boat glowed with a blinding red light as it flew into the Myriad Spirit Ruins. After a momentary blur, they found themselves hovering above a lush mountain range, where spiritual energy was abundant.

Wang Qingfeng performed a hand seal, and the red flying boat slowly descended into a crimson bamboo forest. As far as the eye could see, there were dozens of feet tall red bamboo stalks stretching endlessly, with numerous withered yellow bamboo leaves scattered on the ground.

Wang Shenfeng flicked his finger, sending out a purple light that struck the ground, blasting a large pit. A completely yellow python appeared; judging by its aura, it was merely a fifth-tier demonic beast. The purple light hit the python's abdomen, leaving a clear bloodied hole. The yellow python struggled violently but soon ceased its movements. As its essence spirit left its body, it was immediately collected. As a poison cultivator, Wang Shenfeng effortlessly eliminated a fifth-tier demonic beast.

Wang Qingfeng put away the red flying boat. They each cast defensive spells upon themselves and walked forward together. Soon after, the group disappeared deep within the bamboo forest.

In a narrow, elongated valley, three Integration cultivators—two men and one woman—advanced slowly, their faces full of vigilance. Leading them was a plump old man in a red robe with a round face and small eyes. Judging by his aura, he was clearly a Mid-Integration stage cultivator.

"I hope we can find True Monarch Jin Hong's meditation cave!" the red-robed elder muttered to himself. They had obtained a legacy orb left by True Monarch Jin Hong. According to the orb's records, True Monarch Jin Hong had entered the Myriad Spirit Ruins for treasure hunting and died there. True Monarch Jin Hong had indeed not appeared for over ten millennia, and rumors claimed he had perished, but the Seven-Colored Cloud Sect did not acknowledge this.

"I hope it truly is True Monarch Jin Hong's meditation cave, and not some evil cultivator's trap," a plump young woman in a green dress said gravely.

"Who would set a trap in the Myriad Spirit Ruins? With the three of us working together, there shouldn't be any major problems," the red-robed elder dismissed, quickening his pace.

Soon after, the trio vanished into the vast mountains.
