Chapter 4378

Time flew by quickly; fifty thousand years had passed.

Heavenly Phoenix City, Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

Nangong Dezhi sat in the main seat, his expression solemn.

Nangong Yuwei and Nangong Yueshuo stood by his side, reporting to him.

“We dispatched a large number of people to investigate. Three locations have been ruled out so far, and the remaining ones are still under further investigation. I’ve already notified Yunhua to keep an eye out for any news,” Nangong Yuwei said.

They had sent out numerous personnel to search for the locations deduced by Wang Qiulin. So far, they had only found three, but the Grand Unity Creation Pot was ruled out in all of them. Even with Wang Qiulin’s help, finding the Grand Unity Creation Pot wouldn't be easy.

“What does this have to do with the Chaos Beasts?” Nangong Dezhi asked, puzzled.

“We captured two spies planted by the Chahar Tribe. Interrogation revealed that the Barghut Tribe was searching for the Grand Unity Creation Pot. The Chahar Tribe intercepted this message and is also looking for it, which is why I told Yunhua to keep an eye out for news,” Nangong Yuwei said.

“So, the Chaos Beasts are involved now!” Nangong Dezhi frowned.

Nangong Yuwei nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she took out a glowing white Transmission Mirror and cast a spell into it. Nangong Yunhua’s face appeared on the mirror; he was pale, his aura weak, and he looked gravely injured.

“Ancestor Yuwei, Immortal’s Fall Valley... The Grand Unity Creation Pot is very likely in Immortal’s Fall Valley...” Before Nangong Yunhua could finish speaking, he let out a scream. His face vanished from the mirror; only a loud bang was heard before the screen went dark.

Nangong Yuwei knew clearly what this meant: Nangong Yunhua had perished. She took out a golden, shimmering talisman plate and cast a spell into it. A respectful male voice sounded: “Ancestor Yuwei, Ancestor Yunhua’s life-bound soul lamp has extinguished.”

“Understood!” Nangong Yuwei put away the golden talisman plate, her face filled with sorrow. The Nangong Immortal Clan had expended great effort to infiltrate Nangong Yunhua into the Chahar Tribe. Now, in pursuit of the Grand Unity Creation Pot, Nangong Yunhua had exposed his identity and perished.

“Send someone to use Soul-Awakening Divine Clay to create a statue and revive Yunhua,” Nangong Dezhi instructed. “Also, send someone to invite young friend Wang; I have something to ask him.” Nangong Dezhi added that as long as they found the Grand Unity Creation Pot, Nangong Yunhua’s sacrifice would not be in vain, as he could be revived through the Inheritance Tablet anyway.

“Yes, Ancestor,” Nangong Yuwei agreed, took out a golden, shimmering talisman plate, and cast a spell into it, giving an order: “Yunxin, please invite young friend Wang to Heavenly Phoenix Palace; the Ancestor wishes to see him.”

“Yes, Ancestor Yuwei,” Nangong Yunxin’s voice came from the golden talisman plate.

“Immortal’s Fall Valley is quite large, and some areas have restrictions that could even threaten Grand Immortal Golden Immortals,” Nangong Yueshuo analyzed. “If only we knew the exact location of the Grand Unity Creation Pot, it would be much better.” Now that the Chahar Tribe was also involved, they didn't have much time for a comprehensive search. It would be ideal if Wang Qiulin could further deduce and determine the exact location of the Grand Unity Creation Pot.

Not long after, Nangong Yunxin and Wang Qiulin walked in. Wang Qiulin was about to bow, but Nangong Dezhi stopped him.

“No need for formalities, young friend Wang,” Nangong Dezhi said gently. “We’ve received a clue that the Grand Unity Creation Pot might be in Immortal’s Fall Valley. Can you further deduce and pinpoint its exact location?”

“Immortal’s Fall Valley?” A look of surprise flashed in Wang Qiulin’s eyes. He took out his Nine Palaces Disc, cast a spell into it, and numerous mysterious silver runes surged out, dividing into eight clusters, each representing a location. He kept forming hand seals with two fingers, beginning his deduction.

“If it is in Immortal’s Fall Valley, most locations can be ruled out, leaving only one,” Wang Qiulin said. “The Grand Unity Creation Pot is very likely in an extremely cold place where there are high mountains. This is all the information I can deduce.”

Nangong Dezhi nodded. “You’ve worked hard,” he said. “Yunxin, please accompany young friend Wang well.”

Nangong Yunxin understood and left with Wang Qiulin.

“It seems the Grand Unity Creation Pot might be in Sealed Spirit Mountain,” Nangong Dezhi said excitedly. “I happened to have visited that place before!”

Sealed Spirit Mountain is located deep within Immortal’s Fall Valley. It has ice-attributed restrictions capable of killing Grand Immortal Golden Immortals. Immortal Taiyang’s meditation cave is very likely there.

“Ancestor, let me accompany you on this trip!” Nangong Yueshuo volunteered.

Nangong Dezhi nodded and instructed: “Yuwei, before we return, young friend Wang is not allowed to have private contact with anyone. Our people must be present to prevent him from leaking any secrets.” As it concerned the Grand Unity Creation Pot, they had to be cautious.

“Yes, Ancestor,” Nangong Yuwei agreed.

Nangong Dezhi and Nangong Yueshuo left Heavenly Phoenix City and hurried to Immortal’s Fall Valley.

In a hidden underground cave in the Chahar Mountains, Qu was reporting to Wei.

“What? Immortal Taiyang’s meditation cave might be in Immortal’s Fall Valley?” Wei asked in surprise.

“That’s right,” Qu replied. “This is news we intercepted from the Barghut Tribe. They suddenly gathered their dispersed experts and headed towards Immortal’s Fall Valley, which was discovered by our undercover agents. However, we also unexpectedly discovered a spy planted by the Immortals, a Grand Immortal Golden Immortal.”

The Chaos Beasts are not a monolithic entity; they also plant spies against each other and scheme among themselves.

“A Grand Immortal Golden Immortal! Do you know this person’s background?” Wei’s tone was heavy.

“Unsure,” Qu said, “but it’s highly likely to be someone from the Nangong Immortal Clan. Their territory borders ours, and they are our mortal enemies, so suspicion is high. Other Heavenly Cities embedding spies within us would be pointless.”

“When he defected to us originally, why wasn’t he properly vetted?” Wei’s tone was stern.

“All Grand Immortal Golden Immortals who defected were strictly vetted,” Qu explained. “He had refined a special immortal artifact into his body, which allowed him to evade our detection. It was also our negligence. I have already increased vigilance and severely punished some involved personnel.” Qu’s tone was tense, and he honestly admitted his mistake.

“Humph,” Wei scoffed. “Immortals are all ungrateful wretches. Even though we treat them so well, they still betray us from within. In the future, when employing Immortals, we must exercise more caution. They are not as reliable as we imagine; if they can betray their own kind, they will betray us too.”

“Yes, I will strictly vet them,” Qu replied. “The Barghut Tribe has already gone to Immortal’s Fall Valley. Should we make a move?” Qu asked hesitantly.

“Of course we must act,” Wei said. “We cannot miss this opportunity. I will lead the team myself! I hope we can get ahead of the Barghut Tribe and find the Grand Unity Creation Pot.” Wei’s voice was heavy.

“The troublesome thing is, we only know the Grand Unity Creation Pot might be in Immortal’s Fall Valley, but its exact location is unknown,” Qu said hesitantly.

“The Barghut Tribe must know,” Wei said confidently. “As long as we follow them, everything will become clear.” Wei was full of confidence.

It then led a team of Grand Immortal Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts and left the Chahar Mountains.
