Chapter 4174: Superior Immortal Artifact

As time went on, the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast felt more and more stones striking its soul sea, threatening to pierce through it. A burst of stirring zither music rang out, and a blue sound wave shot out from a void, heading straight for the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast.

The Seven-Colored Chaos Beast swung its black spiked club at the blue sound wave. The blue sound wave dispersed, and a black halo swept past its body, causing it to tremble.

A gigantic blue pearl flew over and struck the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast. It was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. Before it could get back on its feet, another gigantic blue pearl descended from the sky, striking the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast.

The Seven-Colored Chaos Beast opened its mouth and spewed an incredibly thick jet of flame. It hit the gigantic blue pearl, causing a large cloud of white mist to billow up. The gigantic blue pearl flew out of the mist and continued its trajectory towards the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast, which hastily swung its black spiked club to meet it.

With a muffled clang, the gigantic blue pearl was sent flying backward. Immediately, a blue sound wave swept over and passed through the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast's body.

The Seven-Colored Chaos Beast let out an extremely painful roar. Its body trembled uncontrollably, and the ground cracked open, revealing many wide fissures. Then, a gigantic blue pearl descended from the sky and struck the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast, making the ground shake violently.

With a dull clang of metal on metal, the gigantic blue pearl was sent flying backward. The Seven-Colored Chaos Beast shakily stood up, its body covered in blood. It was severely wounded but still alive.

Wang Changsheng was not surprised by this sight. Most of the mutated Chaos Beasts he had previously killed had mutated only once. This Seven-Colored Chaos Beast, however, had mutated twice. It possessed a weapon, wielded laws, and had a much stronger physical body.

Blue sound waves flew out one after another from a massive void, swiftly sweeping past the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast's body. It let out a series of pained screams, its body trembling uncontrollably, and then collapsed. Its spirit had been severely damaged.

A gigantic blue pearl descended from the sky and struck its body, making the ground shake violently.

Wang Changsheng made a hand seal, and the gigantic blue pearl flew up, leaving a massive crater on the ground. The Seven-Colored Chaos Beast could still move. A blue sound wave then swept over, passing through its body, and simultaneously, another gigantic blue pearl struck down.

When the gigantic blue pearl flew up again, the Seven-Colored Chaos Beast had been reduced to a pile of mush and was utterly lifeless.

Wang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief. His body rapidly shrunk, and the three gigantic blue pearls also quickly diminished in size, flying into his sleeve. If a Chaos Beast that had mutated twice was this difficult to kill, wouldn't those that had mutated three or four times be even harder to eliminate?

Wang Ruyan flew out of a void and landed in front of Wang Changsheng.

"Quite a few Chaos Beasts have followed us in here. I wonder what treasures are here," Wang Ruyan said, looking towards the gigantic valley.

Both the Ba'erhu Tribe and the Chahar Tribe had sent their members into the Qiankun Ruins, so this Seven-Colored Chaos Beast had clearly discovered something.

According to Cao Mingguang's introduction, Chaos Beast tribes are led by Grand Unity Golden Immortals and accompanied by Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts. Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts generally explore the periphery to search for treasures and collect cultivation resources, while Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts enter the core area.

"We'll know once we go inside," Wang Changsheng said. He released a humanoid puppet beast and controlled it to walk into the valley. There was nothing unusual.

Only then did Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan follow it inside. The valley was overgrown with weeds, and at its end was a several-zhang-wide cave entrance. A faint, almost invisible yellow light barrier blocked the entrance.

Wang Ruyan gently pointed her right index finger, and a blue light shot out, striking the yellow light barrier. With a muffled thud, the yellow light barrier shattered. The humanoid puppet beast walked in, and they followed closely behind.

The cave was not large. After walking for over a hundred steps, a stone grotto about an mu in size came into view. In the lower-left corner were a cyan stone table and several cyan stone stools. The tabletop was covered in dust, indicating it had been undisturbed for a very long time.

To the left was a bluestone passage. The puppet beast walked in, and there was nothing unusual, so Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan followed it. Not long after, three stone chambers with tightly closed doors came into view.

Wang Changsheng punched open the door of one stone chamber. What greeted him was a silver formation that had ceased operation; the Immortal Essence Stones placed in its grooves had all turned a grayish-white.

"Immortal Gathering Jade!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed, pleasantly surprised. Her gaze fell upon a silver jade stone in the center of the formation. The jade stone glowed with a treasure light, and wisps of immortal essence qi were converging towards it.

Immortal Gathering Jade is a high-grade formation material. It is similar in function to the Spirit Gathering Divine Crystal of the lower realms, but Immortal Gathering Jade gathers immortal essence qi, providing energy for immortal formations, making it far more advanced.

With Immortal Gathering Jade, an immortal formation can operate for a long time. If there is enough Immortal Gathering Jade, the power of the immortal formation will not be significantly weakened even after a very long period.

This type of formation material is quite precious; the Wang family did not possess even one piece until now. Wang Ruyan put away this piece of Immortal Gathering Jade, intending to use it to set up their clan-protecting formation.

Wang Changsheng opened the door of the second stone chamber. A burst of intense heat assailed him. He saw a golden, shimmering cauldron floating above a red formation. In the lower-left corner was a red shelf, displaying some artifact refining materials and jade slips.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the golden cauldron flew towards him, landing on the ground.

He opened the cauldron lid, and a white, gleaming three-pointed double-edged blade flew out, emitting astonishing immortal qi fluctuations. "A high-grade immortal artifact!"

Wang Changsheng said in surprise. The Murong family had once obtained a damaged high-grade immortal artifact, the Sky-Burning Wheel, and with it and multiple Golden Immortal cultivators, they had become the strongest force in the Heavenly Morning Sea.

"Profound Jade Blade!" Wang Ruyan read out the three small characters carved on the blade's hilt.

Wang Changsheng grasped the Profound Jade Blade with one hand; it felt feather-light. However, after he injected immortal essence power into it, the Profound Jade Blade became incredibly heavy.

Wang Changsheng's face showed delight. They had been pursued by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beast and then encountered a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-level demonic corpse. Through these misfortunes, they had gained blessings: they discovered a Seven-Colored Chaos Beast breaking a formation, and by eliminating it, they obtained this high-grade immortal artifact.

He walked towards the red shelf, picked up a red jade slip, and probed it with his divine sense.

After reading all the jade slips' contents, they found that most were related to artifact refining. There were methods for crafting high-grade Immortal Exterminating Cannons and Immortal Exterminating Arrows. The shelf also contained some materials for refining high-grade immortal artifacts, indicating the previous owner was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Regrettably, the jade slips contained no information about the Qiankun Ruins. It seemed that when the Chaos Beasts attacked the Qiankun Ruins, the cave mansion's owner went to confront them, never returned, and perished.

Wang Changsheng collected everything from the shelf, including the golden cauldron. This was a high-grade artifact refining cauldron, which could be given to Wang Qingfeng for use.

They walked out and stood before the third stone chamber.

Wang Changsheng punched open the door, revealing a stone chamber. Inside was only a black meditation cushion, nothing else. Wang Changsheng picked up the black meditation cushion and examined it closely.

"Profound Soul Grass! How extravagant!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed in awe.

This meditation cushion was woven from Profound Soul Grass that was tens of millions of years old. Immortals cultivating on it would experience a calming and stabilizing effect on their souls, reducing the risk of qi deviation. Furthermore, it could enhance one's divine sense, though this required cultivating on it for a very long time, at least a million years.

Profound Soul Grass has very stringent requirements for its growing environment. It was unknown how much Profound Soul Grass was used to weave this cushion, making it incredibly valuable. This showed how wealthy its original owner was.

Wang Changsheng put away the meditation cushion. He carefully checked for other items but found nothing else.

"I'll first refine the Profound Jade Blade. With this treasure, my strength will increase significantly," Wang Changsheng said.
