Chapter 4090: Significant Gains (Nothing More for Today)

A vast, boundless crimson sea stretched out, its waters a deep red, as were the clouds in the sky.

Two streaks of light flew in from the distance, landing on a deserted island after a flash. They were Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, both pale, appearing to have expended excessive immortal essence.

Their pursuers did not possess the Laws of Wind and Thunder, relying primarily on mid-grade immortal artifacts to give chase.

Wang Ruyan used a Tier-2 Immortal Talisman, the Void Imprisonment Talisman, to trap two enemies for a period. They then fled for trillions of miles, constantly changing direction, which finally allowed them to shake off their pursuers.

The Void Imprisonment Talisman originated from the Dao Artifact, the Qiankun Pagoda, a reward Wang Ruyan obtained from clearing a trial. If Wang Changsheng hadn't mastered a Dao technique, he wouldn't have been able to hold off the opponents for long.

Given his current cultivation level, performing Dao techniques consumed too much immortal essence, making it impossible to sustain for long. Fortunately, Wang Ruyan quickly broke through the restriction and retrieved the treasure.

They burrowed underground, reaching ten thousand feet below the surface, where they created a space over a hundred feet wide.

Wang Ruyan flipped her right hand, and with a flash of green light, a shimmering green storage bracelet appeared. A gentle flick of her wrist sent a wave of green radiance sweeping across, revealing a large pile of items on the ground.

"High-grade immortal artifacts!"

Wang Ruyan's expression was ecstatic, her gaze fixed on a green zither. One string was broken, and there were several fine cracks on its body. It was a damaged high-grade immortal artifact, yet its functionality was unaffected. Even in its damaged state, its power far surpassed that of a mid-grade immortal artifact.

There were five mid-grade immortal artifacts, over a million immortal essence stones, more than a thousand chaos beast core crystals, and numerous other materials for artifact refining and alchemy. Additionally, there were over a hundred chaos beast corpses, the lowest being five-colored, with more than twenty seven-colored ones.

Wang Changsheng seemed to sense something. With a flick of his sleeve, the Green Lotus Creation Cauldron flew out and landed on the ground. The green lotus pattern on the cauldron immediately brightened, and Qing Xuan flew out from within.

He beckoned with one hand, and a pale golden jade stone flew towards him, landing in his palm. The golden jade stone had a few fine cracks on its surface and appeared unremarkable.

"Is this a Grandmist Spirit Treasure?" Wang Changsheng asked in surprise.

Qing Xuan had spontaneously awakened, indicating that the golden jade stone was extraordinary.

"Yes, but it's somewhat damaged, likely from attacks during its formation. It's perfectly fine for artifact refining. Treasures crafted from Grandmist Spirit Treasures have immense potential; they can automatically absorb rare materials to upgrade. Even if refined into a mid-grade immortal artifact, its power would be incomparable to an ordinary one," Qing Xuan explained. "Is it useful to you?" Wang Changsheng asked.

Qing Xuan nodded and replied, "It has some use, but it's perfectly fine for you to use it for artifact refining."

"If it's useful to you, then take it!" Wang Changsheng said. It was rare to find something useful for Qing Xuan, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy. "For me? You won't use it for artifact refining?" Qing Xuan asked, puzzled.

Wang Changsheng smiled indifferently and replied, "As long as it's useful to you, one less treasure won't significantly affect me." "Then I won't stand on ceremony. If I consume this Grandmist Spirit Treasure, I can remain conscious for a while."

After saying this, Qing Xuan tossed the golden jade stone into its mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it. A look of satisfaction appeared on its face as it said, "It's been a long time since I've had something like this."

Wang Ruyan's gaze fell upon an exquisite golden jade box, on which a golden talisman was affixed.

She peeled off the talisman and opened the jade box. Inside were six pills of various colors, each with two abstruse spiritual patterns on its surface. "Tier-2 Dao Pills!"

Wang Ruyan gasped, her expression filled with excitement.

The value of Tier-2 Dao Pills far exceeded that of Tier-1 Dao Pills, making them suitable for Golden Immortal cultivators. Consuming Tier-2 Dao Pills could save them significant time in cultivating laws.

Among the more than one thousand chaos beast core crystals, most were from Golden Immortal-stage chaos beasts. There was one mutated seven-colored core crystal and over thirty regular seven-colored ones. Also present were over five hundred million-year-old immortal herbs and eight types of immortal fruits suitable for Golden Immortal cultivators, totaling fifty-five pieces.

They picked up the jade slips and immersed their spiritual senses into them.

After reviewing all the jade slips, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan learned the identity of the cave dwelling's owner.

The cave dwelling belonged to Immortal Master Yuqin. Over a million years after she ascended to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, she ventured into the Ice Soul Snowfield to seek treasure. There, she discovered a Grandmist Spirit Treasure that was nearing completion. Other Grand Unity Golden Immortals passed by, leading to a fierce battle, during which the Grandmist Spirit Treasure was damaged.

Immortal Master Yuqin self-detonated her natal immortal artifact, desperately fighting her way out of the encirclement, and managed to seize the Grandmist Spirit Treasure. Her enemies pursued relentlessly. As the enemies possessed high-grade immortal artifacts specializing in divine souls, her soul suffered severe damage, and she was also afflicted by a strange poison.

Immortal Master Yuqin fled all the way to a deserted island. Her injuries were too severe, forcing her to stop and heal. Unfortunately, her wounds were fatal, leading to her demise and the dissipation of her lingering soul.

Before her death, she left a will in the jade slip, stating that if a fated individual obtained her legacy and was capable, they should help her seek revenge.

"Divine Lord Soulbreaker! A Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

Wang Changsheng murmured to himself. Divine Lord Soulbreaker was the Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had severely wounded Immortal Master Yuqin. So many years had passed, and it was unknown if he was still alive.

In addition to Immortal Master Yuqin's last words, the jade slips also contained records of three cultivation techniques: the Celestial Sound Immortal Scripture, the Immortal Slaying Arrow Manual, and the Grand Witch Art. The Celestial Sound Immortal Scripture was Immortal Master Yuqin's primary cultivation technique, comprising nine layers, capable of cultivation up to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

The Immortal Slaying Arrow Manual also had nine layers; True Immortal cultivators could practice the first three layers, while Grand Unity Golden Immortals could cultivate the latter three. It was obtained from the Immortal Fall Valley in the Ancient Battlefield.

The Grand Witch Art comprised twelve layers, but the jade slips only contained the cultivation methods for the first seven. This technique was brought out by Immortal Master Yuqin from the Immortal Fall Valley, a cultivation method left by Witch Race cultivators, which included various hexes and could only be practiced by immortals who had mastered the Law of Curses.

"This fortune is immense!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed excitedly.

Setting aside everything else, the mere presence of the Grandmist Spirit Treasure, which Qing Xuan needed, made this a significant stroke of luck. Not to mention the six Tier-2 Dao Pills and a damaged high-grade immortal artifact. The chaos beast core crystals alone could purchase a considerable amount of cultivation resources.

The jade slips also contained various pill recipes, including the refining methods for Tier-1 and Tier-2 Dao Pills. Immortal Master Yuqin was an immortal alchemist.

Tier-1 Dao Pills required the pure core crystals of True Immortal-stage mutated five-colored chaos beasts, while Tier-2 Dao Pills needed the core crystals of Golden Immortal-stage mutated six-colored chaos beasts.

"Divine Lord Soulbreaker's divine abilities are formidable; he wields the Laws of Death and Poison!" Wang Ruyan remarked.

Being wounded by the Laws of Death and Poison would naturally lead to more severe injuries. Coupled with the heavy damage to her divine soul, it was not surprising that Immortal Master Yuqin met her demise.

"If Divine Lord Soulbreaker is still alive and circumstances permit, we can help her seek revenge. However, the Immortal Realm is vast, and we don't even know where he is. We should act within our capabilities!" Wang Changsheng said. His tone then shifted as he smiled, "Our tens of thousands of years of arduous searching were not in vain; this fortune is truly immense."

They had spent a considerable amount of time searching arduously across the sea, never expecting to genuinely find such a significant fortune. Wang Changsheng did not believe it was mere coincidence; Elder Jinlin truly possessed remarkable abilities.
