Chapter 3464: Taichi Forbidden Light

Wang Changsheng's spiritual sense fully extended, detecting no anomalies. He released a humanoid puppet beast and sent it forward.

The humanoid puppet entered the cave. Less than fifteen minutes later, it emerged, holding a red ore with some golden patterns on its surface.

Wang Changsheng took the red ore, feeling as if he were holding a cluster of burning flames; it was quite heavy.

"This is Gan Jin Yan Jing!" Wang Changsheng carefully examined the red ore and identified its origin. Gan Jin Yan Jing is an eighth-tier refining material, typically found in volcanic regions, and can be used to forge fire-attribute treasures.

Wang Tun Tian understood immediately. His body glowed with yellow light as he submerged underground, intending to investigate the scale of the ore vein. In less than fifteen minutes, he returned to the surface.

"Master, it seems the ore vein is quite extensive," Wang Tun Tian said excitedly.

Wang Changsheng nodded. He chanted an incantation, causing the void to tremble and distort, and countless blue seawater to surge out. With a palm strike towards the peak, a sound like a tsunami erupted as the seawater coalesced into a colossal blue water mountain, ten thousand feet high, which then crashed into the red peak.

With a thunderous roar, the red peak shook violently, developing numerous cracks, and large quantities of rubble tumbled down the mountainside.

Wang Changsheng frowned, realizing that extracting this eighth-tier ore vein would not be easy.

He flew into the cave and soon reached its end. A cavern, over ten mu in size, appeared before him. Golden-red patterns were visible on its uneven stone walls, and the heat waves within were astonishing. Wang Changsheng raised his right hand, and the Violet Net Blade shot out, striking the stone wall.

With a clang of metal, a shallow hack mark appeared on the stone wall.

Wang Changsheng frowned. True to an eighth-tier ore vein, it was tough. With time pressing, they could only extract some Gan Jin Yan Jing.

Wang Ruyan and Wang Tun Tian flew in, and together they attacked the stone wall.

Wang Changsheng summoned his Dharma Idol, which merged with him. Holding nine Sea-Calming Beads in each hand, he swung his arms, smashing them against the stone wall.

With a deafening roar, the stone wall caved in, revealing long, deep cracks.

Ten breaths later, a millstone-sized piece of ore broke off the stone wall.

Even Mahayana cultivators found extraction difficult, let alone those below that realm. However, in the Profound Sun Realm, only a few major powers controlled eighth-tier ore veins, which were highly valuable resources and one reason why powerful factions could support multiple Mahayana cultivators.

"If only we had an eighth-tier Adamantite Worm or a Nine-Colored Worm, extraction would be much easier," Wang Ruyan sighed, noting that Wang Hui had consumed many seventh-tier ores and fallen into a deep slumber, which was why they hadn't brought it along. Wang Hui was only at the Integration stage and wouldn't be much help with an eighth-tier ore vein anyway.

"It's rare to encounter an eighth-tier ore vein. We should extract as much Gan Jin Yan Jing as possible to forge a fire-attribute treasure later, to serve as a family heirloom," Wang Changsheng said solemnly. The Wang family now had two Mahayana cultivators, and treasures like the Soul Devouring Blade and Illusion Moon Mirror were becoming somewhat low-tier. A true family heirloom needed to be a high-grade Spirit Treasure.

After saying this, Wang Changsheng's body glowed intensely with blue light. He smashed his arms against the stone wall, causing it to shake violently and develop long, thick cracks.

Wang Ruyan activated her Dharma Idol to attack the stone wall, and Wang Tun Tian also worked diligently.

The red peak subtly vibrated, emitting a series of explosive sounds.

If they had a fragment of a Profound Heaven Treasure, extracting the eighth-tier ore vein would be much easier.

In a continuous stretch of lush green mountains, a deafening roar echoed, and a striking cluster of azure lightning illuminated the high sky.

A sharp bird cry pierced the air as a colossal azure eagle, covered in blood, with many feathers torn from its wings exposing bare bones, flew out from deep within the mountain range, clearly heavily injured.

The void rippled, and a hazy yellow hand materialized, striking towards the azure eagle. Simultaneously, a hazy golden halo shot up from the ground, heading straight for the azure eagle.

The azure eagle gently flapped its wings, and countless azure electrical arcs surged from its body, shattering both the yellow hand and the golden halo.

The ground shook violently as tens of thousands of yellow spears burst forth from the earth, shooting towards the azure eagle. The lightning glow around the azure eagle intensified, and with a fierce flap of its wings, it vanished from its original spot.

Thousands of miles away, a flash of azure lightning appeared in the void, revealing the figure of the azure eagle.

The moment the azure eagle appeared, the void filled with countless golden threads, spreading across the space like a spiderweb.

The azure eagle touched the golden threads, its body instantly tearing into pieces, transforming into a rain of blood. As its spirit barely left its body, it collided with the golden threads and vanished without a trace.

A streak of yellow light flew from afar. After a moment, it halted, revealing Jin Lei's figure.

The golden threads slowly disappeared, as if they had never been there.

Jin Lei's expression was solemn. Before him lay a sea of white mist, obscuring what lay within. Surrounding the white mist were three towering, barren peaks, giving the area a desolate appearance.

He chanted an incantation, and the void surged with massive yellow light, instantly transforming into huge yellow boulders that plummeted towards the valley.

As the void rippled, delicate golden threads emerged. The yellow boulders, upon touching these threads, instantly shattered into pieces.

Jin Lei raised his right hand, and a short blade, shimmering with yellow light, shot out, striking towards the giant peak on the left.

As the yellow short blade approached within a thousand feet of the peak, it suddenly accelerated, then became adsorbed to the peak, unable to move, no matter how Jin Lei tried to control it.

Jin Lei took out a small mirror, shimmering with yellow light, and infused it with spiritual power. The mirror radiated a dazzling yellow glow, emitting a stream of yellow mist that shot directly towards the white fog. This Haoyuan Mirror could see through most restrictions and was a precious treasure passed down from his ancestors.

Jin Lei frowned deeply. Countless mysterious golden runes emerged above the two peaks, blocking the yellow mist and preventing him from seeing clearly what lay within.

"Taiyi Forbidden Light!" Jin Lei murmured to himself, his expression grave.

This restriction could only be set up using Origin Magnetic Treasures. Not only could it block spiritual sense and spiritual eyes from probing, but its destructive power was also immense, as evidenced by the fate of the eighth-tier Azure Thunder Eagle.

To set up an array using Origin Magnetic Treasures, and more than one at that—such a grand undertaking was clearly beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person.

"Could this be the control hub of the Dao field?" Jin Lei's face was filled with confusion. To enter the valley, one would need high-grade Origin Magnetic Treasures or mastery of Origin Magnetic Divine Light. He was certain there was something good here, but he wouldn't know what exactly until he entered the valley.

A deafening dragon roar sounded, and Jin Lei's expression slightly changed. A massive, conspicuous ball of crimson firelight appeared in the distance.

He took out a piece of azure beast hide, drew the scene before him, wrote "Profound Spirit" where the white mist was, and then departed.
