Chapter 4341: Immortal Spirit Tomb

"When did you last contact Xu Di? Did you send anyone to look for him? Where was he last seen? What about his relatives and friends?" Ye Haitang bombarded him with questions.

Xu Di was the Golden Immortal cultivator who provided the information. Without him, the information couldn't be verified. It might be a trap, or someone else might have intercepted the news, or it could even be false information.

"I last contacted him half a month ago," Su Sheng reported truthfully. "I asked him to stay in the market city, and he agreed. Two days later, when I tried to reach him, I couldn't. He was last seen at Xianyun Tower, a teahouse he often frequented. He's a lone cultivator, and I haven't heard of him having any relatives. He does have a few friends, but like him, they've all gone missing."

"So, it's very likely that Xu Di was killed," Wang Yingjie surmised.

"Definitely," Su Sheng expressed his opinion. "He had late-stage Golden Immortal cultivation, so his strength was not weak. To emerge alive from the Immortal Spirit Tomb, he certainly wasn't an ordinary Golden Immortal. It's highly probable that a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was behind it."

"A Grand Unity Golden Immortal!" Ye Haitang's brows furrowed as she continued, "Which forces are relatively strong in the Immortal Spirit Sea Region?"

"The Heavenly River Sword Sect is the strongest, with multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals and a long heritage. The Heavenly River Sword Sect is an affiliated force of the Myriad Beast Palace. Next is the Su family of Golden Apricot Island, backed by the Myriad Treasures Gate, also with multiple Grand Unity Golden Immortals. Other forces are not weak, but compared to these two, there's a significant gap." As Su Sheng spoke, he took out two jade slips and handed them to Ye Haitang and Wang Yingjie.

Ye Haitang and Wang Yingjie swept their divine senses over them and nodded.

"We should still make a trip to the Immortal Spirit Tomb! We hope to get our hands on the Blood Infant Jade Apricot Fruit."

"This is the map we've collected," Su Sheng said, taking out a piece of green beast hide and handing it to Ye Haitang. "It's only a partial map of the Immortal Spirit Tomb. The restrictions inside might change, but the terrain won't change much."

Ye Haitang took the beast hide. She could see the words "Immortal Spirit" on it, and the map depicted mountains and water.

"Without further delay, let's depart! We hope to obtain the Blood Infant Jade Apricot Fruit before other forces intercept it."

Leaving the market city, Wang Yingjie summoned a green-glowing dragon boat, carrying the four of them as it soared into the sky.

The Immortal Spirit Tomb was originally a branch of the Myriad Immortals Sect. During a certain Immortal Fall Catastrophe, a large number of Chaos Beasts surged out from the Chaos Continent. Upon entering the Northern Sea Immortal Region, they slaughtered countless immortals. An important branch of the Myriad Immortals Sect happened to be nearby. They fought fiercely against the Chaos Beasts, suffering heavy casualties among the immortals. A large number of Chaos Beasts were also trapped in the Immortal Spirit Tomb. Many years have passed since then, and the Chaos Beasts in the Immortal Spirit Tomb have almost all perished. However, the remaining restrictions should not be underestimated; they have even killed Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

In less than an hour, they arrived at the Immortal Spirit Tomb.

"Is this the Immortal Spirit Tomb!" Wang Yingjie murmured to himself.

Following his gaze, they saw a gigantic island with rolling mountains, exotic flowers and plants, and myriad rays of light.

"This is just its outward appearance; the restrictions should not be underestimated," Wang Yunyue said. She raised her right hand, and a blue-glowing talisman flew out. She cast a magic art into it, and the blue talisman instantly brightened, transforming into a graceful maiden in a blue dress. Runes flickered on her body, and her eyes were dull.

A Golden Immortal-stage talisman soldier!

Wang Yunyue separated a wisp of her sub-soul, which entered the blue-dressed maiden's body. The maiden's eyes began to move, and she flew towards the Immortal Spirit Tomb. She had only flown a little over ten miles when a deafening roar came from high in the sky. A thick three-colored immortal lightning bolt struck down, instantly appearing before the blue-dressed maiden.

The blue-dressed maiden's body erupted with blue light, and a thick blue water curtain appeared out of thin air. The three-colored immortal lightning struck the blue water curtain, and the water curtain shattered like a bubble. Countless profound runes emerged on the blue-dressed maiden's body. The three-colored immortal lightning struck her, and her body exploded, transforming into countless blue runes. These runes suddenly coalesced, forming the figure of the blue-dressed maiden, and she flew back.

"The outer restrictions are this powerful, let alone the inner ones."

Ye Haitang summoned a black-glowing spherical pearl. As she infused immortal essence into it, the black pearl immediately emitted a dazzling black light. Wang Yingjie summoned a small five-colored umbrella, which floated above their heads, unfurling a thick five-colored light barrier that enveloped all four of them.

The green dragon boat instantly shone with bright green light and flew towards the Immortal Spirit Tomb. A deafening thunderclap echoed from high in the sky. A thick three-colored immortal lightning bolt struck down, hitting the canopy of the five-colored umbrella, which trembled slightly. The green dragon boat changed direction periodically and soon landed on the island.

The island had aerial restrictions. Flying through the air might trigger the restrictions, so to be cautious, Wang Yingjie put away the green dragon boat.

"Let's go this way," Ye Haitang said, pointing to a narrow, long valley, holding the green beast hide with the words "Immortal Spirit" written on it.

This was Xu Di's route. If the restrictions hadn't changed, they should be able to reach their destination smoothly.

Wang Yi'er flicked his sleeve, and over a hundred metallic spheres flew out. With a chanted incantation, these spheres glowed with dazzling golden light, transforming into golden bee puppets. They lined up in a single file and flew ahead. Ye Haitang and the other three followed behind the bee puppets, maintaining a certain distance, their speed not fast. It wasn't their first time entering a dangerous place to seek treasures; they were experienced.

Half a day later, they appeared at the foot of a steep, towering peak. The mountain was barren, not a single blade of grass growing on it, and it looked rather desolate. Ye Haitang reached out into the void with her right hand, and a faint green light flew out from a giant pit, landing in her palm. It revealed a piece of green wood, emitting a faint green glow.

"Someone has been here. There are restrictions here. This should be left by a treasure seeker, but it's unclear if they stumbled in by accident or had the same objective as us." According to the information Xu Di provided, he didn't encounter any restrictions when he passed through here. "So what's the deal with this piece of wood?"

The black pearl in Ye Haitang's hand immediately shone with a dazzling black light. Using the treasure, she could vaguely see some faint grey threads in certain areas on the mountain, appearing and disappearing. If she hadn't fully activated the treasure, she wouldn't have been able to detect them at all.

Wang Yi'er formed a hand seal, and over ten bee puppets flew towards the mountain at a slow pace. They hadn't flown far before their bodies disintegrated, turning into piles of scrap metal scattered on the ground.

"There are powerful restrictions here. Let's go around them!"

That's easier said than done. There were no restrictions here originally, but now they've suddenly appeared. This means Xu Di's route isn't safe. Hopefully, the Blood Infant Jade Apricot Fruit truly exists.

To the left of the towering peak was a vast green bamboo forest. They walked towards it and disappeared into the bamboo.
