Chapter 3473: Change

If this is indeed a fragment of the Immortal Realm, then the presence of so many eighth-rank demon beasts and such abundant spiritual energy makes perfect sense. A single fragment of the Immortal Realm is larger than the entire Thousand Spirit Continent. The Immortal Realm must be truly immense!

The Dragon Subduing Axe is indeed the treasure of Fú Longzi. A jade slip records this, noting that Fú Longzi was a good friend of True Immortal Bì Hǎi and a rogue cultivator who made a name for himself using the Dragon Subduing Axe, a damaged Xuantian treasure.

If it's a fragment of the Immortal Realm, why did major powers like the Heavenly Moon Clan claim it was Heavenly Venerable Xuan Ling's cultivation ground? Were they mistaken, or was it intentional? Wang Changsheng pondered this and leaned towards the latter explanation. Information itself is a cultivation resource, and ordinary cultivators, unaware it's an Immortal Realm fragment, could easily make incorrect judgments, as Wang Changsheng himself demonstrated. If he had known it was an Immortal Realm fragment, he would not have brought so many clan members here to seek treasures. In terms of both cultivation resources and danger, a Grand Ascension cultivator's cultivation ground pales significantly in comparison to an Immortal Realm fragment.

Another jade slip documented a case where an Immortal Realm fragment appeared on the Qianyuan Continent. Several smaller clans dispatched a large number of masters, hoping to find the control hub and thus take charge of the cultivation ground. They entered to search for treasures but suffered heavy casualties. Before dying, one cultivator from a small clan left a message stating that the number of eighth-rank demon beasts here was unusually high. Somehow, this jade slip fell into the hands of True Immortal Bì Hǎi. Those cultivators from the smaller clans likely believed until their dying breath that it was a cultivation ground, fantasizing about finding the control hub to master it. This included Immortal Qian Yang and Jin Lei; their maps, marked with "Xuan Ling," indicate they mistook places with powerful restrictions for the location of the control hub.

No wonder the major clans maintained a unified stance, publicly claiming it was Heavenly Venerable Xuan Ling's cultivation ground. Uninformed individuals entering to seek treasures would easily suffer significant losses. Of course, there were also those with heaven-defying luck who obtained major cultivation resources, such as Xuantian treasures.

"If it's an Immortal Realm fragment, containing Xuantian treasures and true spirit descendants, could there also be true spirits and immortal artifacts?" Wang Changsheng had a bold conjecture.

If not for their mastery of the Golden Cicada Escaping Its Shell technique and the Demon Seeker Mirror, they might have been caught by that eighth-rank Heaven-Devouring Rat.

With the Demon Suppressing Zither and the Dragon Subduing Axe, both damaged Xuantian treasures, he and Wang Ruyan found it much easier to eliminate those two shapeshifting demon beasts.

With the cultivation methods for Xuantian treasures, the Wang family would be able to grow Xuantian Blood Vines and Xuantian Immortal Vines with far fewer detours.

Wang Changsheng collected the items on the ground and walked out.

He arrived at the entrance of the fourth stone chamber, took out a square silver token, and with a slight flick of his wrist, a silver light shot out and vanished into the door. The door swung open, revealing a stone chamber hundreds of feet wide. Wang Changsheng walked in, and a surge of pure spiritual energy rushed out as a cave hundreds of feet in size appeared before him.

In the lower-left corner of the cave stood a tall golden fruit tree, bearing thirty-two golden fruits.

"Ten-Thousand-Jun Fruit!" Wang Changsheng's gaze burned with excitement. Ye Xuanji had given him one Ten-Thousand-Jun Fruit previously, greatly increasing his strength. Now, with over twenty more, his strength could be further enhanced.

Wang Changsheng carefully picked over thirty Ten-Thousand-Jun Fruits, then released Wang Liao and instructed her to transplant the Ten-Thousand-Jun Fruit tree.

Leaving the stone chamber, Wang Changsheng went to the second chamber, collected the Spirit Gathering Divine Crystal and spirit stones, and the restriction ceased functioning.

Soon after, Wang Ruyan came up. When she saw the statue of the Star River Divine Lord, she was stunned. "Uncle Mingren?" Wang Ruyan's face was filled with confusion.

"I don't know," Wang Changsheng said nonchalantly. He added indifferently that since a powerful restriction like the Aurora Borealis could manifest here, there must be magnetizing objects present.

Wang Ruyan activated her Lihuo True Eyes and began searching meticulously.

"Oh, he refined the magnetizing objects into the palace itself." Wang Ruyan let out a soft exclamation. This meant that wherever the Star River Palace was, the Aurora Borealis restriction could be activated.

In simple terms, the Star River Palace was an itinerant palace equipped with a powerful restriction. As long as Wang Changsheng took the Star River Palace and activated its formation, the formidable Aurora Borealis restriction would appear.

Ye Xuanji's Xuanji Palace was also an itinerant palace and a mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure. The Star River Palace was clearly more advanced; even Grand Ascension cultivators wouldn't dare to directly confront the Aurora Borealis.

"That's perfect," Wang Changsheng said with a smile. "We'll take this treasure with us. It's like having an extra powerful temporary cultivation dwelling, and it can also be used to shelter our clan members." He continued, saying that once the Star River Palace was brought back to Qinglian Island, clan members facing danger could hide inside it and activate its restrictions to defend against enemies.

This way, as long as they entered the Star River Palace, they would see the statue of the Star River Divine Lord, which bore a striking resemblance to Wang Mingren.

Wang Changsheng took out the Demon Suppressing Zither and handed it to Wang Ruyan for refining. After Wang Ruyan had refined it, they walked out of the Star River Palace, and Wang Changsheng struck out several incantations, refining the Star River Palace on the spot.

After refining the Star River Palace, Wang Changsheng performed an incantation, and the palace shook violently, rapidly shrinking before their eyes until it was palm-sized, then vanishing into his sleeve.

Wang Changsheng summoned the Azure Phoenix Boat, which carried them high into the sky.

They were heading to kill the shapeshifting demon cultivator and obtain the Myriad Spirit Dao Fruit Tree. They already had three Myriad Spirit Dao Fruits, but they wanted more. With hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Wang family, they needed to leave something for their descendants.

Soon after, the Azure Phoenix Boat turned into a black blur and vanished into the horizon.

Above an endless stretch of lush green grassland, a silver lightning bolt and a golden flame glowed brightly in the sky, sending out shockwaves like tides.

A beast roar echoed through the heavens and earth. The golden light flew backward, and a white long rainbow streaked through the air, disappearing into the horizon after a few flashes.

With a flash of golden light, a burly man in a golden robe appeared. Judging by his aura, he was clearly a Grand Ascension early-stage cultivator.

"No way you're escaping."

The golden-robed man snorted coldly, his body radiating golden light as he transformed into a colossal Three-legged Golden Crow and gave chase.

Half a month later, a white light appeared above a gigantic, interconnected mountain valley. It was the Ice Lion.

The hull of the Ice Lion was severely damaged. Ye Yuhuan stood on the deck, her right arm gone, her face pale, and her aura weak.

Ye Yiyan and other Ye family disciples stood nearby, their expressions tense and their faces filled with fear.

"A Three-legged Golden Crow? There's actually a true spirit here, and one that has taken human form." Ye Yuhuan's face was filled with disbelief. Although both were true spirits, the Three-legged Golden Crow was far more powerful than the Nine-Headed Ice Lion. She could only borrow a portion of the Nine-Headed Ice Lion's divine abilities, while the Three-legged Golden Crow was a genuine true spirit; she was no match for it at all.

Without the Cross-Spirit Treasure Ship, they would all have perished.

"Ancestor Yuhuan," Ye Yiyan asked with confusion, "logically, the cultivation ground should have closed by now. Since it hasn't after so long, could something have changed within it?"

"It's possible," Ye Yuhuan replied, her face filled with regret. "Perhaps these true spirits are responsible. Let's find a place to hide for now. How unlucky! We were so close to succeeding, and then a shapeshifting true spirit appeared."

She performed an incantation, and the Ice Lion shone with blinding white light, flying off into the distance and disappearing into the horizon.
