Chapter 4177: Wang Qingling's Opportunity (None Today)

Wang Qingfeng naturally knew the value of the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit. Consuming one would give him a high chance of cultivating to the peak True Spirit realm. From the state of the corpse, it seemed to be an immortal who had entered the Qiankun Ruins to search for treasure.

Wang Qingfeng picked up a green jade slip and immersed his divine sense into it.

After reading the contents of all the jade slips, he noted that several of them mentioned the Five Immortal Sect. It appeared this person was a disciple of the Five Immortal Sect, though it was unknown who killed him.

A disciple of the Five Immortal Sect wouldn't have brought a Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit into the Qiankun Ruins; they must have found it within the Ruins. Wang Qingfeng didn't know its exact origin, but there was a map with some textual annotations in the storage bracelet.

He put away the items on the ground, stood up, and walked out. After crossing a cliff, a vast, boundless grassland appeared before him. Wang Qingfeng took out a piece of green beast hide, which depicted mountains and rivers, with some areas marked by text. He walked towards the grassland and soon disappeared into its expanse.

At the base of a towering, steep peak, an open area lay where a falcon-like six-colored Chaos Beast and an orc-shaped seven-colored Chaos Beast were entangled in combat with Wang Qingling. Wang Qingling had a pair of red bird wings on her back, dragon claws for hands, and a black dragon tail.

After separating from Wang Changsheng and the others, they encountered a mutated seven-colored Chaos Beast. After a difficult struggle to shake it off, they then came across two more seven-colored Chaos Beasts breaking a restriction. Since Chaos Beasts and immortals were natural enemies, neither side held back.

She merged with Wang Que, Wang Meng, and Wang Qingxiao to confront the two seven-colored Chaos Beasts.

Wang Qingling let out a Vermilion Bird cry that pierced the sky. A massive illusory Vermilion Bird appeared above her head, and the ground spontaneously combusted.

The illusory Vermilion Bird spewed forth crimson flames, transforming into an enormous Vermilion Bird of pure fire. Bearing terrifying high temperatures, it charged directly towards the two seven-colored Chaos Beasts.

The sky turned crimson, and the sea surface ignited into a raging inferno. An area spanning hundreds of thousands of miles transformed into a crimson sea of fire, and the intense heat tore open the void, creating numerous fissures.

Vermilion Bird Incinerates the Heavens!

The six-colored Chaos Beast lightly flapped its wings, evading the crimson fire Vermilion Bird.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast moved both fists, smashing them against the incoming crimson fire Vermilion Bird.

With a thunderous roar, the Vermilion Bird's body exploded, and surging flames engulfed the seven-colored Chaos Beast. Dazzling seven-colored spiritual light shone from the Chaos Beast's body, and as the flames dissipated, it became clear that the Law of Fire was utterly ineffective against it.

A shrill roar echoed, and the seven-colored Chaos Beast looked towards the source of the sound, only to see the six-colored Chaos Beast falling from high altitude, several bloody holes in its head.

"What kind of divine ability is this?" the seven-colored Chaos Beast exclaimed in surprise.

"Your companion is already dead," Wang Qingling said. "Why not join it on its journey? At least you'll have company."

Upon hearing her voice, a powerful wave of drowsiness washed over the seven-colored Chaos Beast, making it feel sleepy – the Law of Dreams was at work.

A sky-piercing dragon's roar resounded. Below the seven-colored Chaos Beast, an illusory white dragon appeared, circling like a living creature. A white light burst upwards from beneath its feet, engulfing the Chaos Beast's body.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast was frozen solid, transforming into a massive ice sculpture.

Wang Qingling's crimson bird wings on her back flapped lightly, and she vanished from her spot, reappearing near the ice sculpture. The ice sculpture then emitted a blinding seven-colored spiritual light, and the ice shattered.

Her right claw glowed with dazzling white light as it shot towards the seven-colored Chaos Beast's head.

With a dull thud, a horrifying bloody hole appeared on the seven-colored Chaos Beast's head. Blood flowed unceasingly, and it collapsed.

The combination of Aperture Melting Art and Three Qiankun Fingers proved unstoppable even for an ordinary seven-colored Chaos Beast.

Wang Qingling collected the Chaos Beast's corpse and spirit, then looked towards the peak.

When they arrived, they had coincidentally found Chaos Beasts breaking a restriction, indicating that there must be something good here, though they didn't know what it was.

Wang Qingling took out a shimmering golden talisman, slapped it onto herself, and a thick golden light barrier immediately appeared, protecting her entire body. She then flew towards the peak.

As soon as she approached within a hundred zhang of the peak, her speed slowed significantly, and a powerful gravitational force emerged.

She landed on a set of green stone steps that ascended from the foot to the summit of the mountain. At the summit, a sprawling estate stood. A rumbling sound of thunder erupted, and a six-colored immortal lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking precisely onto the golden light barrier. The golden barrier rippled briefly, and the six-colored immortal lightning vanished without a trace, as if absorbed into mud or swallowed by the sea.

Wang Qingling continued her ascent. The closer she got to the summit, the stronger the gravity became, and the more powerful the six-colored immortal lightning bolts that struck down. Fortunately, she carried several Second-Rank Immortal Talismans, and this Qianyang Thunder Transformation Talisman could weaken the power of lightning.

Over the years, the Wang family had amassed a considerable fortune and stored many valuable items. For this treasure hunt in the Qiankun Ruins, Wang Changsheng had provided numerous good resources.

As she neared the summit, the golden light barrier became translucent and flickering, clearly on the verge of collapsing.

Wang Qingling paid it no mind and quickened her pace. A startling clap of thunder rang out, and an incredibly thick six-colored immortal lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the golden light barrier. The barrier shattered, and the golden lightning engulfed Wang Qingling's body.

Wang Qingling accelerated further. A still thicker six-colored immortal lightning bolt struck down, but her body radiated intense white light, growing countless white dragon scales that protected her entire form.

The six-colored lightning engulfed Wang Qingling's figure. A dull yellow light barrier then enveloped the estate. Wang Qingling flew above the estate, transformed her right hand into a dragon claw, and struck the yellow light barrier. With a muffled thud, the yellow barrier shattered into pieces, and she flew into the estate. After that, no more lightning power descended.

The estate contained many spiritual fields, but they were all empty.

Wang Qingling wandered around the estate but found nothing of note. After half an hour, she appeared at the entrance of a nine-story green pavilion. On its plaque, three large golden characters read "Myriad Gourd Pavilion."

Wang Qingling released a humanoid puppet beast, which pushed open the door and entered. Seeing no anomalies, she then followed it inside.

The pavilion was covered in dust, indicating it had been undisturbed by cultivators for a very long time.

She arrived at the entrance of a secret chamber, struck it with her palm, and the door shattered. Inside, a red formation was visible, with an alchemy furnace glowing with continuous red light floating above it.

To her left was a green stone shelf holding several jade slips and jade boxes.

Wang Qingling walked to the shelf, picked up a green jade slip, and immersed her divine sense into it.

A moment later, she finished reading all the jade slips. Most of their content was related to alchemy, suggesting that the owner of this place was an Immortal Alchemist.

With a flick of her sleeve, the alchemy furnace slowly descended. Its lid opened, and three continuously glowing red pills flew out. Each pill had nine perfectly natural golden spots on its surface.

"The Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Pill!" Wang Qingling exclaimed in surprise.

One of the jade slips on the shelf recorded this pill. It was a Third-Rank Immortal Pill, capable of assisting immortals in cultivating to the peak True Spirit realm. It was refined using the core of a Taiyi Golden Immortal seven-colored Chaos Beast and required a thirty-million-year-old Nine-Yang Jade Marrow Ginseng as its main ingredient.
