Chapter 3668: Harvest Full

The East Profound Continent realm cluster comprises tens of thousands of realms. Among them, very few forces possess flying Profound Heaven Treasures; Wang Changsheng was only aware of the super clan Cao Family owning one. While the Azure Lotus was already swift, its speed paled in comparison to the Trans-Spirit Sky-Soaring Chariot. Ye Yuhuan had previously evaded a low-grade eighth-rank Three-legged Golden Crow while piloting the Ice Lion. With the Trans-Spirit Sky-Soaring Chariot, it was likely that only formidable true spirits such as the Thunder Roc, Azure Luan, or Heavenly Phoenix could hope to pursue them.

In addition to the two Profound Heaven Treasures, there were also materials for opening the second aperture and refining immortal artifacts. Six incomplete Profound Heaven Treasures were found: the Five-Thunder Hammer, Nine-Bend Sand, Seven-Star Soul Severing Sword, Crimson Flood Dragon Blade, Golden Crow Banner, and Illusion-Breaking Pearl. The Five-Thunder Hammer possessed a lightning attribute, while the Nine-Bend Sand was earth-attributed. The Seven-Star Soul Severing Sword, embedded with numerous Profound Soul Divine Crystals, was specifically designed to harm souls. The Illusion-Breaking Pearl served as an auxiliary treasure, particularly effective against illusions. The Five-Thunder Hammer could be given to Wang Mengbin, the Seven-Star Soul Severing Sword to Wang Qingshan, and the Crimson Flood Dragon Blade to Wang Qingfeng.

Wang Changsheng's gaze settled on five exquisite jade boxes, each sealed with a silver talisman. Given the high regard True Lord Bi Hai evidently held for them, these items were certainly not ordinary. The first jade box held a pale golden fruit, faintly glowing with golden light and adorned with nine silver patterns on its surface. It was a Nine-Turn True Spirit Fruit, capable of assisting sentient beings in cultivating into true spirits.

The second jade box contained a blue crystal ball, within which a miniature nine-tailed fox was suspended. "A Nine-tailed Celestial Fox!" Bai Linger exclaimed, realizing it was a true spirit. The blue crystal ball contained the spirit essence of a true spirit Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. This essence was an excellent material, suitable for both artifact refining and formation arrangement. When Wang Qingshan and his companions attacked the Chao Family's ancestral land, the Chao Family activated the Celestial Demon Grand Formation. Had Wang Qingshan not possessed the Spirit-Breaking Blade, a treasure specifically designed to dismantle formations, they might have faced complete annihilation. The Celestial Demon Grand Formation was a scaled-down version of the True Spirit Immortal Execution Formation. The original True Spirit Immortal Execution Formation, by incorporating dozens of True Immortal realm true spirit essences, was capable of slaying True Immortal cultivators. With the spirit essence of this Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, combined with the essences of other eighth-rank demonic beasts, the Wang Family could establish a formidable formation to bolster Azure Lotus Island's defenses.

The third jade box also contained a blue crystal ball, which held a miniature blue-green curved bird. "The spirit essence of a Qingwan!" Wang Chuanming exclaimed. The Qingwan was renowned among true spirits as a top-tier existence, particularly known for its incredible speed. Wang Changsheng felt a surge of excitement, knowing that the more true spirit essences the Wang Family obtained, the more potent the formations they could deploy.

He opened the fourth jade box to reveal a golden jade bottle. As he uncorked it, a dragon's roar echoed through the heavens, and a miniature pale golden true dragon flew out. Upon closer inspection, the miniature dragon was not corporeal. "True Dragon Essence Blood!" Wang Qingjing's eyes glowed with fervor. With this bottle of true dragon essence blood and the corpse of the Human-faced Flood Dragon, his cultivation speed would accelerate considerably, and the purity of his bloodline could be further enhanced. Wang Changsheng infused spiritual power into the bottle, which then emitted a golden aura, enveloping the miniature true dragon and drawing it back inside. "Qingjing, take this and refine it. It will aid your cultivation." Wang Changsheng handed the golden jade bottle to Wang Qingjing. "Thank you, Ninth Uncle." Wang Qingjing's expression was one of profound gratitude as he thanked him repeatedly. "There's no need for formalities among family!" Wang Changsheng lightly patted Wang Qingjing's shoulder, smiling as he spoke.

He opened the lid of the fifth jade box to reveal a square azure token. On its front, three large golden characters, "Qiankun Order," were inscribed in immortal script, signifying it was an item from the immortal realm. Reaching for the Qiankun Order, Wang Changsheng was surprised by its considerable weight. Given his current strength, anything that felt this heavy was clearly of substantial mass. The back of the Qiankun Order bore engravings of mountains and rivers. It resembled an identity token, a key, or potentially a unique immortal artifact. With a slight flick of Wang Changsheng's wrist, the Qiankun Order slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground and creating a large crater. It appeared the Qiankun Order was crafted from special materials, though Wang Changsheng remained unsure of its specific use for now.

Wang Qingshan picked up a piece of azure beast hide. It depicted mountains and rivers, with several areas marked by text, where words such as "True Dragon," "Immortal Fruit," and "Wondrous Gold" were visible. "A True Dragon! There can't be a living true dragon here, can there?" Wang Qingjing frowned, remarking that given the discovery of true dragon essence blood, the possibility couldn't be entirely ruled out. A true dragon residing in a fragment of the immortal realm would indeed be a top-tier true spirit. However, with the Trans-Spirit Sky-Soaring Chariot at their disposal, they were confident that even a true dragon could not overtake them. "It's certainly possible. Otherwise, where would the True Dragon Essence Blood have come from?" Wang Qingshan speculated. While flood dragons could transform into true dragons through cultivation, the process was exceedingly difficult. Typically, they would enhance their bloodline by devouring powerful peers, gradually cultivating into true dragons. However, the presence of rare treasures could alter this dynamic.

Wang Changsheng meticulously counted the items on the ground, discovering a significant quantity of materials for refining immortal artifacts, including Soul-Fulfilling Crystals. A substantial portion of these materials had evidently been collected by the Cao Family. With these materials, acquiring a Nine-Turn True Spirit Pill from the Cao Family should be straightforward. However, Wang Changsheng decided he would only attempt the exchange once he had opened his third aperture. As a super clan, the Cao Family undoubtedly possessed Mahayana cultivators who had opened their second aperture. Wealth often tempts, and in the face of such vast benefits, no one could guarantee that the Cao Family would not entertain malicious thoughts.

"True Lord Bi Hai truly deserves his reputation as the foremost Mahayana cultivator in the Azure Sea Realm. He couldn't possibly have killed the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox and the Qingwan himself, could he? To think he managed to acquire the spirit essences of both these true spirits!" Bai Yuqi exclaimed. They found the answer recorded in a memory crystal, left behind by True Lord Bi Hai.

True Lord Bi Hai, a mid-Mahayana cultivator who had opened two apertures, traveled to the Profound Sun Realm with his friend, Divine Lord Seven Stars. Divine Lord Seven Stars was also a mid-Mahayana cultivator with two apertures opened. They were fortunate enough to enter a spiritual dojo in search of treasures. There, True Lord Bi Hai encountered a mid-Mahayana Nine-tailed Celestial Fox undergoing a grand heavenly tribulation. After successfully enduring the tribulation, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was severely wounded. True Lord Bi Hai and his friend then collaborated to slay it, acquiring its spirit essence. The demon core and corpse were given to Divine Lord Seven Stars.

Later, they encountered an early-Mahayana Qingwan. Working together, they eliminated it. True Lord Bi Hai secured its spirit essence and demon core, while its corpse was given to Divine Lord Seven Stars. Subsequently, they encountered Saint Ancestor Xuanfu. Though they were two against one, they proved to be no match. Saint Ancestor Xuanfu had no intention of harming them; instead, he invited them to join forces against a mid-Mahayana true dragon. This true dragon, having transformed into human form and opened two apertures, possessed formidable strength. Saint Ancestor Xuanfu unleashed a powerful divine ability to slay the true dragon. They provided only minor assistance and, in return, obtained the true dragon essence blood. Afterward, they parted ways with Saint Ancestor Xuanfu.

They later discovered a Thunder Apricot Jade Immortal Fruit tree, which was guarded by a mid-Mahayana Thousand-Eyed Cold Spider. This Thousand-Eyed Cold Spider was a true spirit, renowned for its extreme venom. They jointly confronted the Thousand-Eyed Cold Spider and, after a strenuous battle, managed to slay it, albeit sustaining minor injuries themselves. However, a late-Mahayana Thousand-Eyed Cold Spider suddenly appeared, forcing them to scatter and flee for their lives. True Lord Bi Hai was severely wounded and afflicted by a strange, potent venom. He was unable to detoxify it and ultimately succumbed to the poison.
