Chapter 3836: Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood

He had even used up his life-saving immortal artifact; otherwise, he would have perished.

"Did you encounter them by chance, or were you looking for something?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.

"Their lair contains a Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma over a million years old. We wanted to collect this immortal herb but failed. Last time, when our fellow disciples discovered the Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma, there were only two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts at the True Immortal stage. This time, a mutated Five-Colored Chaos Beast appeared. If we hadn't used a second-tier immortal talisman to trap it, we wouldn't have been able to escape." Shen Qing explained, her face full of regret.

The Nine Immortals Sect has a secret technique for opening orifices, which requires refining a second-tier immortal pill called the Golden Marrow Blazing Pill from million-year-old Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma to open the sixth orifice. They had expected to acquire the Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma smoothly. Who would have thought a mutated Five-Colored Chaos Beast would appear? It was a miracle they survived.

"A million-year-old Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma!" Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan suddenly understood. This had nothing to do with them.

"If Junior Brother Fang hadn't stayed behind to cover our retreat, we would have found it very difficult to escape," Lu Chuan sighed, his face filled with grief.

Shen Qing seemed to recall something, and her expression became a little strange. She asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang, where did you go? Did the Seven-Star Mother-Child Sensing Immortal Talisman not react at all?" The Seven-Star Mother-Child Sensing Immortal Talisman could detect the other party's location within tens of thousands of li, but her spiritual eyes couldn't see that far. Logically, the Seven-Star Mother-Child Sensing Immortal Talisman should have reacted first, and then she would have used her eye technique to locate Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Strangely, she saw Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan first, and only then did the Seven-Star Mother-Child Sensing Immortal Talisman react. Could Wang Changsheng be able to block the talisman's sensing ability?

"We were being pursued by cultivators from the Heavenly Star Sect and used a random teleportation talisman to escape. We only just managed to get away, and then we ran into you," Wang Changsheng explained. A random teleportation talisman is a special immortal talisman that teleports the user to a random location, making it much more powerful than ordinary escape talismans.

Shen Qing suddenly realized. Just as she was about to speak, she flicked her sleeve, and a flickering talisman flew out—it was the mother talisman of the Seven-Star Mother-Child Sensing Immortal Talisman. The talisman burst open, transforming into a shimmering arrow of spiritual light, its tip pointing northwest. Shen Qing's eyes lit up, and she looked towards the northwest.

"It's Junior Brother Xu," Shen Qing said.

Not long after, a green streak of light appeared on the distant horizon, swiftly approaching their location. With a flash of green light, the streak landed before them, revealing a refined-looking young man in a green robe.

"Senior Sister Shen, we've discovered a Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood over three million years old!" the young man in the green robe said excitedly.

"Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood! Where is it?" Lu Chuan's eyes immediately became fervent.

The crystal cores of Chaos Beasts contain enormous bloodthirsty bestial natures and cannot be used directly. They need to be purified using a formation to remove this bloodthirsty nature. Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood over a million years old is the best material for setting up such purification formations, making it a highly sought-after item. A Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood over three million years old can be used to set up a formation capable of purifying the bloodthirsty bestial nature within the crystal cores of Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts.

The young man in the green robe took out a piece of green animal hide—a topographical map. He pointed to a spot and said, "It's quite far from here, guarded by two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts at the late True Immortal stage. Oh, by the way, why are only you here? What about Senior Brother Fang and the others?"

"Most of them perished. Let's not talk about that for now. We should go and get the Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood," Lu Chuan said in a deep voice. Although they failed to acquire the Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma, obtaining the Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood would also be good.

Lu Chuan formed a hand seal, and the yellow flying boat immediately lit up with a dazzling yellow light. It carried them swiftly into the distance.

In an open area, the ground was uneven and pitted, with several massive craters emitting black smoke. A Five-Colored Chaos Beast, with the head of a deer, the body of a tiger, and ox horns, lay on the ground. Several corpses lay scattered around it.

"You were quick to run," the Five-Colored Chaos Beast spoke in a human tongue.

Two afterimages flew from a distance and quickly landed on the ground, revealing two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts with four wings on their backs.

"Deer Priest, we encountered two immortals on the way. We wounded them and questioned them separately. According to their confessions, a Lin family disciple discovered a Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood over three million years old, but lacked the strength to collect it, so he notified them to gather," one of the Five-Colored Chaos Beasts said.

Chaos Beasts capable of speaking human language possess relatively high intelligence. By questioning the immortals separately and promising to release them if they told the truth, it was easy to extract secrets, as immortals who wished to survive would readily reveal them. After all, if one person didn't speak, it didn't mean others wouldn't. Faced with such a test, where speaking meant survival, few could remain silent.

"A Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood over three million years old! Where is it located? He didn't lie to you, did he? Immortals are the most cunning," Lord Deer asked.

"It shouldn't be false. Both their testimonies match. Unless they deliberately allowed themselves to be captured alive by us, but how could they guarantee we'd capture them instead of simply killing them?" the other Five-Colored Chaos Beast reported.

"I'll go over after I've consumed the Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma. Even if the Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood isn't there, we won't be at a disadvantage," Lord Deer instructed. If the immortals intended to lure them away to collect the Golden Marrow Blazing Ganoderma, they had miscalculated.

"Yes, Lord Deer," the Five-Colored Chaos Beasts assented.

At the foot of a towering, steep peak, there was a massive cave entrance. At the mountain's base, two massive Five-Colored Chaos Beasts were fiercely battling a unit of immortal armored soldiers. In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and thick bolts of five-colored lightning streaked across the firmament, striking the two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts. Simultaneously, three shimmering flying boats circled continuously high above, and twelve low-grade Immortal Exterminator Cannons fired at once, attacking the two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts. Due to their immense size, the two Five-Colored Chaos Beasts found it difficult to evade. After taking multiple hits from the low-grade Immortal Exterminator Cannons, their bodies were covered in wounds, and blood flowed unceasingly. A closer look revealed that the blood flowing from their wounds was black, clearly indicating they had been poisoned.

One of the Five-Colored Chaos Beasts struck Murong Yuhong with its right claw. Murong Yuhong was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground with his chest caved in. Fortunately, he was protected by his Chaos Armor; otherwise, he would have been reduced to a pulp. Murong Yurong swung the Fangtian Halberd in her hand, unleashing countless green electric arcs. High above, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and thick five-colored lightning pillars struck one of the Five-Colored Chaos Beasts in succession. The twelve Immortal Exterminator Cannons fired simultaneously, striking the same Five-Colored Chaos Beast. A horrifying bloody hole appeared on its body, and it reeled unsteadily. A giant, white-glowing seal flew towards it, smashing into its body. It was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. It was not dead, but it had lost its ability to fight.

Murong Yurong and the others focused their attacks on the other Five-Colored Chaos Beast. It also couldn't hold on for long and was soon annihilated by them.

"It's finally dealt with," Murong Yuhong breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Someone's coming. It seems they're also here for the Heavenly Gang Immortal Wood." Murong Yurong looked into the distance, where a green streak of light appeared on the horizon, swiftly flying towards their location.
