Chapter 4221: Ling Tian Sect, Heavenly Soldier Sect

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

Wang Ruyan and the others each picked up a jade slip to examine its contents.

After a while, they finished reading the contents of all the jade slips.

"Myriad Immortal Sect, Profound Pill Gate, Celestial Soldier Sect, Heavenly Talisman Palace, Nether Corpse Gate, Big Dipper Sect."

Wang Changsheng muttered to himself, a thoughtful expression on his face.

One jade slip described the general situation of the Myriad Immortal Continent. The continent was exceptionally vast, comparable to several sea regions, and many sects had their main strongholds there. The Myriad Immortal Sect was the most powerful faction.

The Myriad Immortal Sect was located in the most spirit-rich area of the Myriad Immortal Continent. It governed five subordinate forces: Profound Pill Gate, Celestial Soldier Sect, Heavenly Talisman Palace, Nether Corpse Gate, and Big Dipper Sect. Each of these forces boasted multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals and possessed formidable strength, and each of these five forces, in turn, had its own subordinate factions.

In simple terms, the Myriad Immortal Continent was divided into four regions, corresponding to Da Luo Golden Immortals, Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Golden Immortals, and True Immortals. The Myriad Immortal Sect was the core, presided over by Da Luo Golden Immortals. Its five subordinate forces had Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Their subordinate forces each had multiple Golden Immortals, and these Golden Immortal forces, in turn, had their own subordinate forces, each possessing multiple True Immortals.

The leaders of these forces had sworn oaths on the Heavenly Fortune Jade Scroll, binding their destinies together: they would either prosper together or decline together.

The Lingtian Sect possessed multiple Golden Immortal cultivators, and its main stronghold was located deep within the Myriad Immortal Continent. The Lingtian Sect was a subordinate force of the Celestial Soldier Sect. It specialized in artifact refining and possessed multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals, making it one of the Myriad Immortal Sect's five major subordinate forces.

The relationship between the Myriad Immortal Sect and other factions was somewhat similar to that between the Wang (王) family and forces like Zhenhai Palace. Zhenhai Palace, the Lan family, the Wang (汪) family, the Li family, and the Ni family were all subordinate forces of the Wang (王) family. They obeyed the Wang (王) family, and similarly, recruited their own members, had their own subordinate forces, and these subordinate forces, in turn, also had their own subordinate forces.

One difference was that the Wang (王) family had only signed the Heavenly Fortune Jade Scroll with a few forces, such as Zhenhai Palace, the Wang (汪) family, the Lan family, and the Ni family. Their subordinate forces had not yet sworn oaths on the Heavenly Fortune Jade Scroll.

It wasn't that these subordinate forces didn't want to sign oaths on the Heavenly Fortune Jade Scroll; rather, the Wang (王) family simply hadn't brought it up. The Wang (王) family did not have a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, making it impossible for them to safeguard a treasure like the Heavenly Fortune Jade Scroll.

Another jade slip recorded the location of the Celestial Soldier Sect, which had eighteen subordinate forces. The Lingtian Sect was just one of them, and the jade slip also listed the locations of the other seventeen subordinate forces.

"Let's first search this area completely and see if there are any valuable items."

Wang Changsheng said.

The restrictions on the Myriad Immortal Continent were entering a period of weakness, but this only applied to Golden Immortal and True Immortal forces. The restrictions of the Myriad Immortal Sect, Profound Pill Gate, Celestial Soldier Sect, Heavenly Talisman Palace, Nether Corpse Gate, and Big Dipper Sect were not weakened. It would be quite dangerous to investigate the Celestial Soldier Sect's main stronghold, as it surely contained immortal pills and herbs that could assist Golden Immortals in advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Lingtian Peak was the forbidden area of the Lingtian Sect, the place with the most abundant spiritual energy within the sect, and also the residence of the Lingtian Sect's Grand Elder.

They walked out and opened the door to the third stone chamber. The chamber was over a hundred feet in size and contained a Nine-Colored Peach Tree with more than fifty Nine-Colored Peaches hanging from its branches.

"Nine-Colored Peaches!"

Wang Changsheng nodded. One Nine-Colored Peach could extend a lifespan by 100,000 years, so more than fifty peaches could extend it by over five million years.

They carefully picked the Nine-Colored Peaches and transplanted the Nine-Colored Peach Tree. Then, they arrived at the bluestone passage on the right, where there were also three stone chambers with tightly closed doors.

Upon opening the first stone chamber, a small patch of immortal land came into view, but the immortal herbs had long since withered.

Opening the door to the second stone chamber, they saw a pool over a hundred feet wide. Five purple lotus flowers grew in the pool, their petals crescent-shaped, and the water was purple.

"Purple Marrow Immortal Lotus!"

Wang Changsheng was filled with both surprise and joy.

Purple Marrow Immortal Lotuses over thirty million years old were typically used to refine third-tier immortal pills, such as Purple Marrow Pills, which had excellent detoxification properties. These five Purple Marrow Immortal Lotuses were at least forty million years old, with some reaching over fifty million years.

"Purple Marrow Immortal Water! This type of immortal water contains rare toxins and can be used to cultivate certain special immortal herbs," Wang Ruyan said, looking at the purple pool water.

They harvested the five Purple Marrow Immortal Lotuses and collected the Purple Marrow Immortal Water.

Opening the third stone chamber, they found a Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit tree with over thirty Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits hanging from its branches.

"Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits!"

Wang Changsheng's face lit up with joy. With these Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits, more Golden Immortals in the Wang (王) family would be able to cultivate into peak True Spirits.

They harvested all the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits, placed them into jade boxes, and also transplanted the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit tree.

They thoroughly checked the area. After confirming nothing was left behind, they exited.

After leaving Lingtian Peak, they explored the entire Lingtian Mountain Range but found nothing. The spiritual herb gardens were empty; immortal herbs had long been picked by other treasure hunters, and the high-level cultivators' cave dwellings had also been thoroughly ransacked.

Had it not been for the powerful restrictions on Lingtian Peak, its contents would also have been taken by other treasure hunters.

They departed the Lingtian Mountain Range and hastened towards the Medicine King Mountain Range.

The Medicine King Mountain Range was the main stronghold of the Medicine King Sect, a subordinate force of the Celestial Soldier Sect. It had a relatively large number of immortal alchemists, so there might be immortal herbs and fruits that could assist Golden Immortal cultivators in advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortals. However, Lingtian Mountain Range was quite far from Medicine King Mountain Range, and they would have to pass through a perilous area along the way.

In an open expanse, Wang Qingshan and Bai Linger walked slowly.

Wang Qingshan was currently at the late Golden Immortal stage, having achieved minor mastery of laws. Bai Linger was at the mid-Golden Immortal stage. Both husband and wife were sword cultivators.

Since entering the Myriad Immortal Continent, they had not encountered any attacks, triggered any restrictions, or found any treasures. They hadn't even encountered other treasure hunters; the Myriad Immortal Continent was simply too vast.

A quarter of an hour later, they appeared on a low earthen slope.

Bai Linger took out a green beast hide with mountains and rivers depicted on it. This was their route map, which they recorded, perhaps to be useful in the future.

A deafening roar resounded, and a massive crimson fireball soared into the sky.

Wang Qingshan frowned, his divine sense detecting several powerful auras flying towards them.

A massive yellow tornado swept over, uprooting large amounts of weeds in its path.

A sharp golden sword light swept forth, catching up to the yellow tornado.

The yellow tornado exploded, and a pale, yellow-robed elder flew out of it. His legs were gone, and his expression was one of terror.

"Fellow Daoists Li, you've arrived at just the right time. I'm entrusting the Qiankun Pearl to you; I'll lead them away."

The yellow-robed elder raised his right hand, and an exquisite yellow jade box flew out, soaring towards Wang Qingshan and Bai Linger.

Wang Qingshan frowned, flicked his finger, and a blue sword light swept out, shattering the yellow jade box. A round bead, flashing with yellow light, shot out.

A brilliant yellow light burst from the yellow-robed elder's body as he flew off into the distance.
