Chapter 3660: Each Has Its Own Fate

He did not transplant the celestial tree, not because he was unwilling, but because it was unnecessary. He intended to transfer the entire Nine Flames Immortal Palace into the Myriad Spirit Map. This way, the immortal herbs, immortal fruit trees, and immortal wood would remain perfectly preserved, eliminating any risk of them withering during transplantation.

Wang Changsheng thoroughly searched the area, finding nothing else besides the celestial tree, and then he exited.

Upon returning to the main hall, they conducted a careful search but found nothing of note.

Their gains were significant: two immortal artifacts, over a dozen immortal herbs, an immortal fruit tree, and a celestial tree. They also acquired materials for refining immortal artifacts from immortal essence stones, along with the refining methods. The only downside was that they could not currently utilize these treasures. Specifically, Wang Changsheng was hesitant to pluck or consume the Taiji Immortal Fruit, as its origins were unknown, and he feared unknown risks.

Some rare and exotic fruits can be highly poisonous, and consuming them without caution could lead to severe consequences.

Upon exiting the Nine Flames Immortal Palace, Wang Changsheng summoned the Myriad Spirit Map and cast an incantation. The map pulsed with surging spiritual light, releasing a dazzling radiance that encompassed the entire Nine Flames Immortal Palace.

The Nine Flames Immortal Palace visibly shrank, then ascended and disappeared into the Myriad Spirit Map.

As they exited the valley, they noticed the Taiyi Forbidden Light had vanished, which was not surprising given that the formations had been dismantled.

"Father, Mother, are you both alright?" Wang Qingfeng inquired.

"Yes, we're fine. Let's explore other areas; hopefully, we can find more valuable treasures."

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan returned to the deck of the Azure Lotus. Wang Qingfeng then cast an incantation, and the Azure Lotus ship emitted a brilliant green light as it ascended into the sky.

Within a vast and boundless black forest, a thunderous beast roar echoed through the heavens from deep within. A massive ball of golden lightning erupted skyward, a striking beacon.

Elsewhere in the void, a blinding golden lightning flash illuminated a giant golden lion. Its back bore a pair of azure fleshy wings, and its body was covered in wounds, enveloped by crackling golden electrical arcs, exuding an aura of immense destruction.

This was an eighth-tier Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion, its eyes wide with terror, as if it had encountered something truly dreadful.

A piercing whoosh cut through the air as a colossal staff, imbued with shimmering blue light, descended from above, hurtling towards the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion.

The Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion opened its maw and unleashed a thick golden bolt of lightning to meet the attack. It was instantly shattered by the colossal staff. Seizing this opportunity, the golden electric arcs on the lion's body intensified, seemingly attempting to execute a lightning evasion technique to escape.

At that very moment, a powerful gravitational force materialized, causing the lion's body to plummet uncontrollably towards the ground.

A flash of yellow light heralded the appearance of a small, flickering yellow hammer. It spun rapidly before instantly expanding and hurtling towards the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion.

Even before the massive yellow hammer landed, the void around it twisted, warped, and tore open.

The Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion's eyes blazed with blinding golden light, each unleashing a thick golden pillar of lightning to confront the incoming attack.

The ground transformed from earth into sand, felling numerous trees, as a vast cloud of yellow grit surged skyward, coalescing into a yellow giant over a thousand zhang tall. The yellow giant's hands reached out to seize the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion.

The Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion opened its gaping maw, unleashing an incredibly thick golden lightning pillar that struck the yellow giant. The giant's body immediately disintegrated into countless grains of yellow sand, filling the air with dust and debris.

The flickering yellow sand instantly coalesced, forming two thick yellow chains that entwined the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion's claws.

The lightning radiating from the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion's body intensified, and countless golden electric arcs surged forth, striking the yellow chains. However, the chains remained completely undamaged.

The yellow giant hammer collided with the two golden lightning pillars, resulting in two muffled impacts. The golden lightning pillars dispersed, and the yellow hammer crashed down directly.

A thunderous roar reverberated as the ground shook violently, creating numerous fissures and felling countless trees, filling the air with dust.

Three streaks of escape light approached, revealing Chen Yueying, Zhao Yunxue, and Song Yuchan.

They had just entered the Immortal Realm Fragment when they encountered an eighth-tier Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion.

Chen Yueying performed an incantation, and the yellow hammer floated upward. The Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion had been reduced to a pulpy mess, and a miniature lightning lion spirit flew out of its remains.

Song Yuchan then conjured a golden jade bottle, which absorbed the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion's essence soul.

Zhao Yunxiao landed next to the Azure-Winged Golden Thunder Lion's carcass and extracted a pale golden spherical pearl from its head. The pearl's surface was marked with lightning-like patterns.

He held the golden pearl aloft and shook it continuously, but no anomalies appeared in the sky.

"An eighth-tier Thunder Absorption Pearl!" Zhao Yunxue exclaimed with excitement. Had it been a Thunder Guiding Pearl, there would surely have been lightning and thunder.

Chen Yueying and Song Yuchan beamed with delight. To have such a significant discovery so soon after entering the Immortal Realm Fragment indicated excellent fortune.

Zhao Yunxue placed the Thunder Absorption Pearl into a blue jade box and presented it to Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying performed an incantation, and the yellow hammer rapidly shrunk, vanishing into her sleeve.

"Let's go! We should explore other areas; hopefully, we can acquire more valuable items."

Chen Yueying then summoned a yellow-glowing flying boat, which carried them away from the location.

This marked her third entry into the Immortal Realm Fragment. Most Mahayana cultivators in the Profound Yang Realm did not possess such extraordinary luck. Her first visit yielded the Nine-Bend Exquisite Fruit, and her second brought the Jade Sandalwood Immortal Fruit, Mahayana spiritual artifacts, and other cultivation resources. Now, on her third visit, she wondered what treasures awaited her.

Over a vast, cerulean ocean, a colossal ship shimmered with blue light, suspended high in the sky. A thunderous dragon's roar echoed from above, as various spiritual lights blazed across the heavens, and the sea below began to freeze.

Moments later, a colossal blue flood dragon plummeted from the sky, its immense body crashing onto a deserted island.

Its body was heavily scarred, with numerous scales missing, and a horrifying blood-filled cavity marred its head.

Gu Sen, Xun Yao, Chi Jin, and others descended from the sky, landing above the deserted island.

"Indeed, worthy of the Profound Spirit Heavenly Venerate's dojo, to harbor an eighth-tier flood dragon," Chi Jin remarked with a smile. "It's fortunate we split up from the others; otherwise, distributing the spoils would have been complicated."

Upon entering the dojo, they dispersed to search for treasures. While forty-three Mahayana cultivators searching together might seem more efficient, it would also mean fewer individual gains. Therefore, they decided to split up, each relying on their own abilities to find riches.

Gu Sen led a team of over a dozen Mahayana cultivators. Chu Feng and Bloodblade True Monarch formed another team, while the Mahayana cultivators from Cangming Sect, Blood Fiend Palace, and the Giant Race each formed separate teams.

"I wonder if we'll be as fortunate as Grand Cloud Rogue Cultivator and acquire a Profound Heaven Treasure," Yin Yuan mused, a look of longing on his face.

Gu Sen nodded and replied, "There's always a chance. It's a rare opportunity to enter this dojo and search for treasures. We must gather as many cultivation resources as possible, as there's no guarantee we'll encounter this dojo again when it reappears."

They retrieved the blue flood dragon's carcass and returned to the azure colossal ship.

Gu Sen performed an incantation, and the azure colossal ship illuminated with dazzling green light, soaring high into the sky until it vanished into the distant horizon.
