Chapter 4384: Dark Current

In Kunlun Hall, Kunlun Immortal City, Nangong Dezhi, Liu Qian, and Immortal Lord Yulei stood silently inside the hall.

Soon after, Kunlun Dao Ancestor emerged from a side hall, holding the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot.

After numerous attempts, he confirmed that the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot could purify Chaos Beast crystal cores, though it had limitations. Even with Prime Immortal Essence Stones providing energy, the pot could only purify crystal cores from early Grand Unity Golden Immortal nine-color Chaos Beasts. Crystal cores from mid-Grand Unity Golden Immortal Chaos Beasts and above could not be purified, as the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot was merely a high-grade immortal artifact.

If the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot were to be promoted to a prime immortal artifact, it might be able to purify crystal cores from higher-tier Chaos Beasts.

Even so, the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot was indeed a rare treasure, capable of significantly enhancing the overall strength of immortals.

"I accept the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot," Kunlun Dao Ancestor stated. "Young friend Nangong, if you wish to purify crystal cores in the future, you can find Lei Shuo. You may use it for free, provided you supply your own Immortal Essence Stones. Furthermore, you will be credited for this achievement, and you may request ten items."

"Senior Zhang," Liu Qian interjected, "we were the first to receive the news. The Nangong Family snatched something belonging to our Myriad Beasts Palace. You must uphold justice."

"Nonsense!" Nangong Dezhi scoffed. "We received the news long ago. What do you mean by snatching something from your Myriad Beasts Palace? Are you blaming others for your own incompetence? I seized it from a Chaos Beast myself!"

"Hmph," Liu Qian said, her face cold. "If you hadn't stolen the purified crystal cores from the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot, we would have found the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot much sooner. What is your intention in planting your people within our Myriad Beasts Palace?"

"As if your Myriad Beasts Palace hasn't planted people in our family. The feeling is mutual," Nangong Dezhi retorted.

Just as Liu Qian was about to speak, Kunlun Dao Ancestor stopped her. "Enough," he said. "Let's have less bickering. Your Myriad Beasts Palace may also come here to purify crystal cores, but you must provide your own Immortal Essence Stones. This will be limited to three uses. After that, you will need merit points or rare materials to use the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot for purification."

The animosity between the Nangong Immortal Clan and the Myriad Beasts Palace had a long history, and Kunlun Dao Ancestor could not resolve it. He forbade Grand Unity Golden Immortals from the two factions from engaging in fatal battles, at least not on the Chaos Continent. Verbal sparring, however, was permitted.

Thus, the Nangong Immortal Clan gained significant benefits, and the Myriad Beasts Palace also received some advantages.

Liu Qian's expression softened, and she asked curiously, "Senior Zhang, can the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot purify crystal cores from Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage Chaos Beasts?"

Kunlun Dao Ancestor nodded. "It can purify crystal cores from early Grand Unity Golden Immortal nine-color Chaos Beasts at most. This is likely related to its grade."

"If it's promoted to a prime immortal artifact, it should be able to purify ten-color crystal cores, right?" Nangong Dezhi inquired.

"Hard to say," Kunlun Dao Ancestor replied. "It's already difficult for an immortal artifact infused with a Primordial Spirit Treasure to advance in grade, let alone one infused with a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure. This matter must not be leaked."

The Chaos Beasts knew that the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot had fallen into the hands of immortals, but they were unaware of its purification limits.

"Yes, Senior Zhang," Nangong Dezhi and Liu Qian readily agreed and withdrew.

"Master, can this treasure be upgraded into a Dao Artifact?" Immortal Lord Yulei asked curiously.

"Hard to say," Kunlun Dao Ancestor mused. "Mutated Primordial Spirit Treasures are inherently rare. One can only say it has the potential. If this treasure truly became a Dao Artifact, perhaps there would be no limits, and it could purify ten-color crystal cores. However, it's still excellent as it is. Go to the treasury, retrieve high-grade crystal cores for purification, and refine them into immortal pills. Hopefully, we can cultivate more Immortal Bodies."

Chaos Beasts possess exceptionally powerful physical bodies, and their crystal cores, when refined into body-tempering immortal pills, yield excellent tempering effects.

"That's wonderful!" Immortal Lord Yulei exclaimed excitedly. "Being able to purify nine-color crystal cores will undoubtedly significantly increase the chances of Grand Unity Golden Immortals cultivating Immortal Bodies." He added that Kunlun Dao Ancestor's faction had a unit of Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage Immortal Armored Soldiers, and if a few more Immortal Bodies emerged, the strength of this unit would be greatly enhanced.

"Is there still no news about that Dao Artifact?" Kunlun Dao Ancestor inquired.

"No news yet," Immortal Lord Yulei replied. "Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals who master the Law of Fate cannot deduce its whereabouts?"

"That is a Dao Artifact, not an immortal artifact," Kunlun Dao Ancestor explained. "Even Dao Ancestors find it difficult to deduce. Moreover, we don't even know its name or function. If Fellow Daoist Long's Dao Artifact's spirit hadn't alerted him, he wouldn't have known about it either. Send more people to search for it! It would be fine if it falls into the hands of immortals, but the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda will certainly detect its existence. Knowing its nature, it will definitely send people to search for this treasure, and if it cannot obtain it, it will destroy it."

"Yes, Master," Immortal Lord Yulei agreed, accepting the order before departing.

"If only it could advance to a Dao Artifact," Kunlun Dao Ancestor murmured to himself, his eyes burning with eagerness.

He himself possessed no Dao Artifacts, only a complete set of prime immortal artifacts, all refined with Primordial Spirit Treasures. The Taiyi Good Fortune Pot was a support-type immortal artifact. If it could advance to a Dao Artifact, it would vastly enhance the strength of immortals.

In Myriad Beasts Hall, Myriad Beasts City, Liu Qian sat on the main seat, her gaze somber.

Yang Qing and Jiang Bin stood to one side, reporting to Liu Qian.

"Blood Witch True Monarch!" Liu Qian's face showed a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, a disciple of Blood Witch True Monarch was killed by a member of the Wang Family. We have already informed Blood Witch True Monarch, but he has taken no action yet," Yang Qing reported.

This time, the Nangong Immortal Clan was able to acquire the Taiyi Good Fortune Pot, and Wang Qiulin must have played a significant role. Now, whether Chen Ying was killed by the Wang Family was no longer very important; the Wang Family had indirectly harmed the interests of the Myriad Beasts Palace.

"The Green Lotus Immortal Couple are Supremes. Blood Witch True Monarch surely wouldn't dare to deal with the Wang Family!" Jiang Bin analyzed.

"That's hard to say," Liu Qian stated. "Nephew Jiang, you must personally investigate the truth behind the murder of Niece Yang's kin. Be sure to uncover the real culprit and bring them to justice. If it truly was the Wang Family, report to me immediately."

She dared not hire someone to kill Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, as Kunlun Dao Ancestor had personally met the Green Lotus Immortal Couple and even guided them in cultivation. If a disciple's kin was harmed, it would be justifiable for Myriad Beasts Palace to apprehend the true culprit. If it turned out to be the Wang Family, Liu Qian could use this matter to her great advantage.

"Aunt Liu, regardless of whether the Wang Family did it or not, the Nangong Immortal Clan will surely shield them, right?" Yang Qing asked.

"Debts must be paid, and lives must be forfeited for lives taken. These are universal principles. The perpetrator must be brought to justice," Liu Qian said grimly.

"What if the Green Lotus Immortal Couple did it? Would they be brought to justice?" Yang Qing pressed.

"Being a Supreme does not grant immunity for killing your kin. As I said, a life for a life, a debt for a debt. Nephew Jiang, do not make any mistakes this time," Liu Qian stated solemnly.

If mastering a Supreme Law allowed one to arbitrarily kill other immortals, the Immortal Realm would have long since fallen into chaos. It wasn't as if Myriad Beasts Palace lacked Grand Unity Golden Immortals who mastered Supreme Laws. If the Green Lotus Immortal Couple could kill Yang Qing's kin with no repercussions, then Grand Unity Golden Immortals in Myriad Beasts Palace who mastered Supreme Laws could also act freely.

Yang Qing's face lit up with joy; with Liu Qian's words, she knew she had permission.

"Yes, Aunt Liu," Jiang Bin readily agreed.
