Chapter 4169

Wang Changsheng took out a blue-glowing Transmission Immortal Mirror, casting a spell into it. Cao Xingdian's face appeared on the mirror's surface; he had already advanced to the Golden Immortal stage.

After the last battle, Cao Yuanxing went into seclusion for cultivation, leaving Cao Xingdian in charge of contacting the Wang family.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, the Qiankun Ruins are about to open. Our Old Ancestor plans to lead a team into the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasures. If your Wang family is interested, you can send Golden Immortal cultivators to accompany us. You can decide the number yourselves, but don't send too many. The information you reported last time is very important; the Chaos Beasts might take the opportunity to attack the city, so we must be on guard."

Cao Xingdian said slowly. "The Qiankun Ruins are opening!"

Wang Changsheng felt a stir of excitement; the Qiankun Ruins were a Celestial City, filled with many valuable items.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, since Senior Cao will lead the team into the Qiankun Ruins, do we need to follow Senior Cao the entire time?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Not necessarily. You can act on your own. Whether you find opportunities depends on yourselves. You could also go by yourselves, but without a Grand Unity Golden Immortal accompanying you, other factions might not let you in. After all, it is a Celestial City; besides us, Chaos Beasts will also enter to search for treasures, and even Pseudo-Immortals might appear. The Nangong family will send people to meet us outside. Both Myriad Treasure City and Celestial Pill City will send people into the Qiankun Ruins to seek treasures. Every time the Qiankun Ruins open, Grand Unity Golden Immortals fall, not to mention Golden Immortal cultivators. Golden Immortals in the early stage should not go. Consider this carefully," Cao Xingdian said.

Without a Grand Unity Golden Immortal leading the way, they wouldn't be able to enter at all. "And after we come out, do we have to hand over cultivation resources?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Of course, but we won't take them for free. The cultivation resources you hand over will be converted into merit points, which you can use to exchange for other cultivation resources with our Cao family. Consider it carefully, and gather in Yunlang City tomorrow," Cao Xingdian said. "Okay, I understand."

Wang Changsheng agreed and put away the Transmission Immortal Mirror.

"The Qiankun Ruins… the maps we obtained earlier will come in handy," Wang Ruyan said. They had previously acquired several maps, which were route maps used by predecessors who entered the Qiankun Ruins, and could be quite useful. Since the Chaos Beasts might attack the city, Wang Changsheng could not bring too many family members.

After some thought, he decided to bring Wang Qingfeng, Wang Qingling, Wang Qingxiao, and Wang Yingjie. Wang Qingshan, Wang Mengbin, and others would remain to guard Xuancheng.

Wang Changsheng took out a blue-glowing magic disk, cast a spell into it, and instructed, "Yixin, notify Qingfeng, Qingling, Qingxiao, and Yingjie to come to Green Lotus Peak. I have something to tell them."

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Yixin replied.

Not long after, Wang Qingfeng and the other three arrived.

Wang Changsheng explained the situation to them. They were all in the mid-Golden Immortal stage, and their strength was not weak.

"Opportunities are hard to come by. The Qiankun Ruins only open once in a very long time, so since we've encountered it, we naturally can't miss it," Wang Qingfeng said with a smile.

"That's true, but even Grand Unity Golden Immortals might fall when searching for treasures in the Qiankun Ruins. We just need to collect some cultivation resources from the periphery; don't be greedy," Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Yingjie nodded, "We'll listen to the Old Ancestor."

Wang Changsheng gave them a few instructions, took some single-use treasures and immortal talismans from the treasury, distributed them, and handed over the maps he had collected, telling them to go back and prepare.

He then informed Chen Yueying and others, letting them decide for themselves.

Chen Yueying, Ni Tianlong, Lan Fukong, and others did not plan to go, as they were only in the early Golden Immortal stage, and their strength was too low.

Early the next morning, Wang Changsheng and five others arrived at Yunlang City. Cao family disciples invited them to a beautiful, flower-filled manor, where Murong Yilong, Yu Weiwei, Xue Sheng, and others were already present, standing in neat rows.

Wang Changsheng noticed that the Murong family had dispatched eight Golden Immortal cultivators, with even the lowest-ranking being in the mid-Golden Immortal stage. It seemed the Murong family placed great importance on this treasure hunt in the Qiankun Ruins.

Not long after, a tall, thin, golden-robed old man approached, with Cao Xingdian following behind him. "Greetings, Senior Cao."

Wang Changsheng and the others bowed respectfully.

The golden-robed old man's dignified gaze swept over Wang Changsheng and the others. He nodded and said, "This time, we are going to the Qiankun Ruins to seek treasures. Whether you can find opportunities depends on yourselves."

Cao Mingguang, the Old Ancestor of the Cao family, was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the mid-stage. "Yes, Senior Cao," Wang Changsheng and the others responded in unison, their expressions respectful.

Cao Mingguang flicked his sleeve, and a golden-glowing flying boat flew out, landing before him. He stepped onto it, followed by over a dozen Cao family cultivators. Wang Changsheng and more than thirty others followed closely behind.

Cao Mingguang performed a hand seal, and the golden flying boat immediately lit up with a golden light, soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing into the horizon.

The Barghut Grasslands belonged to the Barghut Tribe, which was one of the ten major tribes under King Hunxie, and boasted several Chaos Beasts at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal stage.

Many Chaos Beasts of various forms could be seen on the grasslands.

Deep within the grasslands stood a majestic giant city. Above its city gate was a square plaque with four large golden characters spelling "Barghut City."

Chaos Beasts did not build cities, but Pseudo-Immortals did.

On a towering peak, a nine-colored Chaos Beast resembling a fierce tiger stood on the summit, accompanied by more than a dozen eight-colored Chaos Beasts of various forms. A ruddy-faced, golden-robed old man could also be seen.

"The Qiankun Ruins have opened again. This is an opportunity for our Barghut Tribe. I will personally lead the team to send you into the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasures, hoping that good things can be obtained," the nine-colored Chaos Beast spoke. Its name was Hu, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection stage.

"Yes," the other Chaos Beasts replied in unison.

Hu looked towards the golden-robed old man and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I'm entrusting you with this task. If we manage to obtain a Primordial Spirit Treasure, your benefits will certainly not be small."

"Lord Hu, you're too kind. This is my duty. If it weren't for your refuge, I would have long been eliminated by the Myriad Treasure Sect's enforcement team," the golden-robed old man said gratefully.

Lin Bing, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal in the late stage, originated from the Myriad Treasure Sect and was a traitor to it. "It's almost time. Let's go!" Hu commanded.

Lin Bing flicked his sleeve, and an enormous golden flying boat flew out, hovering in mid-air. Hu stepped onto it, followed closely by Lin Bing, and the other Chaos Beasts also boarded.

"Let's go."

Lin Bing performed a hand seal, and the golden flying boat lit up with a golden light, soaring into the sky.

The restrictions of the Qiankun Ruins had entered a period of weakness. Immortals and Chaos Beast tribes alike dispatched people into the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasures, all hoping to obtain valuable items.

Qiankun City was a Celestial City. Originally, Qiankun City was on par with Myriad Treasure City, but it was breached by Chaos Beasts. Both Immortals and Chaos Beasts wanted to occupy Qiankun City, leading to a fierce battle. Ultimately, they decided to each occupy half.

Half of Qiankun City was within the Barghut Tribe's jurisdiction, and the other half was within Myriad Treasure City's jurisdiction. Normally, the restrictions were too strong for either Immortals or Chaos Beasts to enter. With the restrictions now entering a period of weakness, both sides mobilized their forces and sent people into the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasures.

On a vast, boundless plain, over a thousand cultivators had gathered. There were no less than ten Grand Unity Golden Immortals among them, with even the lowest-ranking possessing cultivation at the mid-Golden Immortal stage. "Has Fellow Daoist Cao not arrived yet?" Fairy Liuyun asked.

"Fellow Daoist Cao has arrived," a gaunt, black-robed old man said, looking into the distance.
