A vast, boundless black swamp, filled with a thick, poisonous miasma, with countless puddles dotting the ground.
A massive golden blaze shot skyward, sending smoke and dust billowing everywhere.
Deep within the swamp, Wang Qingshan and Bai Ling'er hovered in the air, their expressions chillingly cold.
Wang Qingshan held the Golden Crow Sword. In the distance, a massive pit on the ground emitted black smoke, revealing the remains of a colossal black toad, its body sliced clean in two.
Numerous immortals had entered the Myriad Immortals Continent. They hailed from various races, including demon cultivators at the Golden Immortal stage.
“Even a perfected Law couldn’t withstand this sword. It truly lives up to its name as a top-grade immortal artifact.”
Bai Ling’er remarked with a smile.
A Golden Immortal cultivator, who had perfected a Law, ambushed them. Wang Qingshan swiftly deployed the Golden Crow Sword, effortlessly annihilating the attacker, whose true form was a black jade toad.
A top-grade immortal artifact significantly enhanced Wang Qingshan's power. Without it, they could still have defeated their opponent, though not with such ease.
Wang Qingshan collected the black toad's corpse. With a single-handed gesture towards the ground, a black storage bracelet flew out of a puddle and landed in his palm. A sweep of his divine sense brought a look of delight to his face.
The storage bracelet contained many valuable items: materials for artifact refining, immortal herbs, immortal wood, and immortal essence stones. However, there were no top-grade immortal artifacts.
Wang Qingshan pulled out a piece of black beast hide; it was a map with certain locations marked by text.
“The Thousand Centipede Mountain Range… could it be a place for cultivating spirit insects?”
Bai Ling’er said, pointing to a particular spot on the map.
“It's hard to say. Perhaps it's just a geographical name.”
Wang Qingshan mused. He then retrieved the maps he had collected and meticulously compared them, confirming their current position.
“Let's go. We'll head over and take a look. Hopefully, we can acquire some rare treasures.”
Wang Qingshan said, and the two transformed into streaks of light, soaring forward.
Three days later, they emerged above a rolling, emerald green mountain range, characterized by towering peaks and dense forests.
With their divine senses fully extended, they surveyed the area. A deafening roar suddenly echoed in their ears, and a massive blaze was visible on the distant horizon.
“Cultivators are clashing!”
Wang Qingshan's brows furrowed.
A long blue streak of light shot out from deep within the mountain range, hurtling directly towards their location.
As spatial ripples spread, a colossal, sky-piercing peak, shimmering with yellow light, materialized. It unleashed a yellow ray of light that enveloped the blue streak.
The blue streak slowed, revealing the figure of the Four Seasons Sword Venerable. His left leg was missing, and his face was ashen.
The Four Seasons Sword Venerable, holding a blue flying sword, swung it to slash at the descending yellow peak.
With a 'clank' of metal on stone, the yellow peak trembled slightly.
A whooshing sound rent the air as a colossal, sky-piercing black fist, shimmering with dark light, shot towards the Four Seasons Sword Venerable.
The Four Seasons Sword Venerable tried to evade, but the yellow light enveloped him, and a powerful gravitational force made him utterly immobile.
A golden, sky-piercing sword beam shot forth, cleaving the yellow peak in two, and slicing the black fist apart as well.
The Four Seasons Sword Venerable sighed in relief and descended to Wang Qingshan's side.
Two streaks of light arrived, revealing a burly man in black robes and a curvaceous young woman in a yellow dress. Both were at the Great Perfection stage of Golden Immortals.
“Fellow Daoist Wang, they killed Fellow Daoist Ci. Be cautious; that male cultivator has perfected a Law and has also cultivated a peak true spirit. They stole the Seven-Leaf Jade Marrow Immortal Lotus, which we found first.”
The Four Seasons Sword Venerable stated.
Had he not encountered Wang Qingshan, he would likely have perished here. Ci Lei was already annihilated.
“Perfected Law, peak true spirit, Seven-Leaf Jade Marrow Lotus…”
Wang Qingshan's expression hardened. As he himself was a peak true spirit, armed with a top-grade immortal artifact, the Body-Melding Art, and the Three Fingers of Qiankun, he had no fear of the opponents.
The lotus seeds of the Seven-Leaf Jade Marrow Immortal Lotus shared remarkable similarities in efficacy with the Grand Unity Immortal Fruit. He had not expected to discover the Seven-Leaf Jade Marrow Immortal Lotus in this place.
“A top-grade immortal artifact,”
The black-robed man's gaze fixed on the Golden Crow Sword in Wang Qingshan's hand. His expression grew grave. Since arriving in the Myriad Immortals Continent, he had personally slain no fewer than ten Golden Immortal cultivators without a single defeat. While he could endure attacks from mid-grade immortal artifacts, a top-grade one was beyond his defense.
The black-robed man and the young woman in yellow exchanged a glance, then transformed into two streaks of light and fled rapidly along their original path.
“Trying to flee now? It's too late.”
Wang Qingshan snorted coldly. He executed a sword incantation, and the Golden Crow Sword shot forth. Wherever it passed, the ground spontaneously combusted, and a wave of crimson flames swept out, rapidly expanding. The sky itself turned scarlet, as if ablaze.
His left hand twitched, and a beam of yellow light shot forth, vanishing into the ground.
Bai Ling’er's right index finger glowed brightly with white light. With a gentle tap towards the void, a white streak of light shot forth, heading directly for the black-robed man.
The young woman in yellow formed a magic incantation, transforming the ground within a 300,000-li radius from soil into sand, creating a colossal yellow desert where fierce winds howled.
Countless yellow grains of sand surged skyward, coalescing into an incredibly massive yellow fist that lunged towards them.
The yellow fist collided with the white streak, exploding instantly and filling the air with smoke and dust.
The Golden Crow Sword reached the black-robed man. A slight curve formed on the black-robed man's lips as he raised his right hand. A black-glowing talisman shot forth, instantly exploding into a mass of black light that enveloped the Golden Crow Sword.
The Golden Crow Sword froze in mid-air, completely motionless.
It was a Level Three Immortal Talisman, a Soldier-Imprisoning Talisman. This type of immortal talisman could briefly control a top-grade immortal artifact, albeit for a very short duration, but it was enough.
“Watch out, he has mastered the Law of Speed.”
The Four Seasons Sword Venerable remembered something and issued a warning.
No sooner had he spoken than the black-robed man's figure shimmered, turning into an afterimage and vanishing.
The next instant, he reappeared directly before Wang Qingshan, his right fist blazing with black light as he lunged forward to strike.
Wang Qingshan's right index finger blazed with blue light. Transforming his finger into a sword, he met the black-robed man's incoming fist.
As fist and finger collided, the black-robed man let out a horrifying shriek. A blue streak of light pierced clean through his fist, then through his head.
“A peak true spirit!”
The young woman in yellow gasped in astonishment.
She had never imagined that Wang Qingshan had also cultivated to a peak true spirit, and furthermore, mastered such a potent secret art. Her companion, who had perfected a Law, was annihilated in a single strike.
A miniature Nascent Soul shot out from the black-robed man's body. Its size rapidly expanded, poised to self-detonate.
A silver-glowing talisman flew over and adhered to the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul's eyes glazed over, and it reverted to its original size.
The young woman in yellow's body blazed with yellow light, splitting into a hundred figures that scattered in different directions.
Just then, a powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground, causing the hundred yellow-clad figures to slow significantly.
Wang Qingshan executed a sword incantation, and the Golden Crow Sword's radiance instantly surged. Streaks of sharp golden sword qi swept forth, piercing through the bodies of all the yellow-clad figures. The moment a Nascent Soul attempted to escape, a silver-glowing talisman descended from the sky and adhered to it.
The Nascent Soul's eyes glazed over, leaving it floating motionlessly in mid-air.
The Four Seasons Sword Venerable was dumbfounded. He knew Wang Qingshan possessed exceptional power, but he had never imagined it to be so monstrously potent.
Wang Qingshan searched the corpses, recovering three storage bracelets. Inside a jade box, he discovered nine lotus seeds of the Seven-Leaf Jade Marrow Immortal Lotus.
