Chapter 3610: Mystic Heavenly Treasure Hidden Soul Lock (Out of Stock Today)

They released Shi Yan from the Purple Scorpion Gourd. His face was pale, and he looked weak; had he been delayed any longer, he would have died.

The Yinmei Clan had moved their valuables in advance, so there weren't many good items in the treasury. However, Fu Heng knew the locations of several important Yinmei Clan strongholds and the entrance to a minor world.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had contributed significantly to this battle, so they naturally received a larger share of cultivation resources. The Purple Scorpion Gourd was given to them.

Ye Xuanji had no objections either; it was just a damaged Xuanyuan treasure. The Purple Fist Pearl was given to her.

Shi Yan had even fewer objections; if Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan hadn't helped eliminate Fu Heng, he would likely have been killed by him.

The Yinmei Clan's Xuanyuan treasure was an auxiliary item called the Soul Concealing Lock, which could conceal soul fluctuations.

This treasure was useless in combat but might be useful for treasure hunting.

This treasure was in the possession of Guan Xiao, a Protector Elder of the Yinmei Clan, who was located at an important Yinmei stronghold.

They quickly plundered the Yinmei Mountain Range, obtaining many cultivation resources.

Based on contributions, Wang Changsheng took the Myriad Poison Immortal Extermination Formation and also received a piece of Yuanji Stone and some materials for artifact crafting and pill refining.

"Let's go eliminate the remaining Yinmei Clan members."

Ye Xuanji waved her sleeve, and they departed on the Azure Lotus.

Tianyan Realm, Guyuan Continent.

The Guli Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of millions of miles, serving as the ancestral land of the Guli Clan.

In a quiet manor, a burly old man in a red robe and a beautiful young woman in a green dress were sitting in a red stone pavilion, conversing.

"What? Li Yang and Gu Qing's Soul Lanterns have extinguished? Li Yang has a damaged Xuanyuan treasure and has opened one aperture; even if he can't win, he should be able to escape!"

The red-robed old man's gaze was grim.

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch, a Mid-Mahayana cultivator who had opened one aperture and cultivated his spirit domain to Grand Perfection, had single-handedly killed a Late-Mahayana cultivator.

"Their Soul Lanterns have indeed extinguished. We just don't know who did it. The experts of the Tianyue Clan are in the Sky Dome Realm, so it's either the Stone Cocoon Clan or the Ye family. The Yinmei Clan doesn't have such audacity."

The young woman in the green dress analyzed.

Gu Qingyao, Early-Mahayana stage.

"Forget it, let's secure the Qiankun Bottle first. Fairy Jinpa's sonic attacks are too powerful. Once we refine the Profound Sound Stone into a treasure, we can deal with the Miao Yin Sect."

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch said gravely that Fairy Jinpa was also a Mid-Mahayana cultivator who had opened an aperture and possessed the Heavenly Sound Physique, so he couldn't gain a significant advantage against her.

They had collected several Profound Sound Stones and some Taiyi Divine Crystals, intending to refine them into a treasure that would be at least a damaged Xuanyuan treasure. The Miao Yin Sect possessed a powerful Xuanyuan treasure called the Wonderful Sound Flute, which ordinary treasures couldn't defend against.

The Tong Clan's Soul Extinguishing Plate specialized in harming souls, while the Wonderful Sound Flute used sonic attacks with illusions. Both were powerful treasures, each with unique characteristics.

Gu Qingyao nodded and said, "That's the only way. I'm worried that the Miao Yin Sect will use the Qiankun Bottle to produce a large amount of Creation Jade Dew to hasten the growth of a Xuanyuan treasure. Don't forget that the Ling Clan's Nine Flames Pearl was matured using Creation Jade Dew."

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch scoffed and said, "It's not that easy to mature. They would also need to find a Xuanyuan item, and it must be an offensive type. It might turn out to be an auxiliary Xuanyuan treasure. Like the Yinmei Clan, who used a grand formation to cultivate a Xuanyuan item, resulting in an auxiliary Xuanyuan treasure that's useless in combat. Otherwise, they wouldn't be holed up in the Xuanyang Realm and would also be competing for the Qiankun Bottle."

Most Xuanyuan treasures are offensive, but some are auxiliary.

The Yinmei Clan lacked an offensive Xuanyuan treasure, which is why they didn't participate in the realm wars and instead protected their own territory.

"That's true. The Tianyue Clan's Qianjin Dragon Slaying Blade is quite powerful. Xun Long, who had opened an aperture, was trapped by Zhu Yan's spirit domain, but he fully activated the Qianjin Dragon Slaying Blade and broke through the spirit domain."

By the end, Gu Qingyao's face was filled with envy.

A Mid-Mahayana cultivator who opens an aperture possesses deeper magic power than an ordinary Late-Mahayana cultivator, and fully activating a Xuanyuan treasure should not be underestimated.

"That's because her cultivation wasn't sufficient; her spirit domain hadn't reached Grand Perfection, which is why Xun Long escaped so easily. Would he dare to be trapped by my spirit domain? If he opened two apertures, perhaps he could escape, but opening two apertures is extremely difficult. Those who can open two apertures are rare. Even our ancestor only opened two apertures, yet our Guli Clan became one of the top clans in the Tianyan Realm."

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch's face was full of pride.

"He doesn't necessarily need to open two apertures. If he becomes a true spirit and possesses a true spirit body, he can also break through a spirit domain."

Gu Qingyao analyzed.

"It's not that easy to cultivate into a true spirit. Not only does it require external aid, but the process is also very painful and prone to failure. However, as far as I know, the deeper one's magic power, the easier it is to cultivate into a true spirit. Don't even think about it with one aperture. Our ancestor, who opened two apertures, couldn't cultivate into a true spirit. According to Fellow Daoist Tong of the Tong Clan, there are some rare fruits and exotic plants in the immortal realm that can aid in cultivating into a true spirit."

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch said slowly.

"Immortal realm? How could such things exist in the lower realms? Even if they did, only major powers like the Cao family would possess them!"

Gu Qingyao's face was full of envy.

"Nothing is absolute. It's a way to become stronger, after all. Don't forget Heavenly Venerate Xuanling's Dao field."

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch shook his head, stating that at his stage, to improve his strength, he either had to advance to the Late-Mahayana stage, open another aperture, or cultivate into a true spirit.

Any sentient being has the chance to cultivate into a true spirit, though common true spirits typically take beast form. Humanoid or exotic true spirits are still very rare.

"You sent Li Yang and the others to the Xuanyang Realm. Was it also to inquire about Heavenly Venerate Xuanling's Dao field?"

Gu Qingyao asked curiously.

Heavenly Flame Divine Monarch nodded. "Exactly. I didn't expect something to happen to them. Once things here settle down, I'll make a trip to the Xuanyang Realm myself."

Xuanyang Realm, Qianling Continent.

The Heavenly Charm Secret Realm was the largest secret realm controlled by the Yinmei Clan, and only a few elders knew of its existence.

Inside the secret realm, mountains undulated continuously, and spiritual energy was abundant.

A golden streak of light rapidly swept across the sky, moving at an exceptionally fast speed.

After flying over 100,000 miles, the golden streak of light suddenly stopped as a gigantic spatial vortex appeared out of thin air.

As the escape light dissipated, a short, stout old man in a golden robe was revealed. His legs were broken, leaving only his upper body; his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with terror.

He never expected the enemy to silently infiltrate the secret realm. Fortunately, he had activated the grand formation in time to trap them.

The old man in the golden robe's body uncontrollably flew towards the spatial vortex, letting out a tragic scream as his body disintegrated into a shower of blood.

A miniature Nascent Soul flew out of his body, holding a black jade lock that radiated astonishing spiritual energy; it was precisely the Xuanyuan treasure, the Soul Concealing Lock.

A fierce glint flashed in the miniature Nascent Soul's eyes as it intended to destroy the Soul Concealing Lock, determined not to let the enemy profit from it.

Just then, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air and swiftly swept past the miniature Nascent Soul's body.

The miniature Nascent Soul disintegrated into specks of spiritual light, and the Soul Concealing Lock rapidly fell towards the ground.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan flew over from a distance. Wang Changsheng waved one hand, and the Soul Concealing Lock flew towards him, landing in his grasp.
