Chapter 4431: Star Immortal Wood

A towering, steep peak stood tall, its summit home to a vast estate enveloped by a silver light barrier.

A flight of azure stone steps stretched from the foot of the mountain to its summit. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood at the base, gazing towards the estate above.

They quickly reunited using the Qiankun Compass, but Wang Tunian had been teleported to an unknown location.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and a shimmering golden spirit bean flew out. Its surface was covered in mysterious runes, emitting an astonishing aura of immortal energy.

He infused it with an incantation, and the golden spirit bean immediately flared with brilliant light, transforming into a tall, gold-robed young man—a bean soldier of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal rank.

Wang Changsheng lightly pointed his finger towards the mountain peak. The gold-robed young man strode towards the mountain, and suddenly the sky darkened, filling with stars.

Huge meteorites streaked across the sky, hurtling towards the gold-robed young man.

The gold-robed young man opened his mouth and spewed countless fine golden threads, which pierced through the massive meteorites.

He continued his ascent. The closer he got to the summit, the larger and more numerous the falling meteorites became, creating an alarming spectacle.

The gold-robed young man moved his fists, sending out golden giant fists that shattered the falling meteorites amidst continuous roars.

When he reached the summit, seven stars shone brightly. A silver beam of light connected them, forming the Big Dipper constellation.

A colossal meteorite streaked across the sky; before it even landed, the surrounding void could not withstand its power, distorting and deforming.

The gold-robed young man's body flared with golden light. He threw a punch, and a golden giant fist shot forth to meet the massive meteorite.

With a loud bang, the golden giant fist collided with the enormous meteorite and instantly disintegrated.

The massive meteorite plummeted towards the gold-robed young man. From each of his eyes, the gold-robed young man shot out a golden beam, which struck the enormous meteorite, emitting two muffled thuds.

He opened his mouth and sprayed a golden mist, enveloping the massive meteorite. The meteorite's descent slowed.

Seizing this opportunity, the gold-robed young man's right fist flared with golden light, and he punched towards the silver light barrier.

A piercing whoosh echoed as a gigantic golden fist shot out, striking the silver light barrier. The barrier caved inward, its surface stars brightened, and then it returned to normal.

A second massive meteorite streaked across the sky, plummeting towards the gold-robed young man.

A powerful binding force emerged out of nowhere, and the massive meteorite hovered in mid-air.

The gold-robed young man's right hand flared with golden light, and he slapped the void. Countless golden rays appeared, blurring into golden swords that successively struck the silver light barrier, producing muffled thuds, but the barrier remained completely unmoved.

"Stellar Array!"

Wang Changsheng's interest was piqued. He pointed his right index finger at the void, and a blue rainbow-like beam shot forth, striking the silver light barrier. The barrier shattered like a bubble, the massive meteorite disintegrated, and the stars vanished.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan strode up the mountain and, with the gold-robed young man, entered the estate.

Inside the estate were numerous spirit fields, but most of the immortal herbs in them had withered.

They passed through several small courtyards and arrived at a spirit field.

A golden light barrier enveloped a Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit tree, from whose branches hung more than twenty Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits.

"A Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit tree!"

Wang Ruyan nodded.

Wang Changsheng could ripen Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits using the Gourd of Ages, so he had no shortage of them.

The gold-robed young man punched the golden light barrier, and it shattered like paper.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Shen, who had already advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal rank. She picked all the Golden Lotus Immortal Fruits and transplanted the tree.

They wandered around the estate, but most of the immortal herbs in the spirit fields had died.

A quarter of an hour later, they appeared before another spirit field. A thick silver light barrier enveloped this one, and inside was a silver tree over twenty zhang tall. Its diamond-shaped leaves emitted a soft silver glow, and its trunk bore mysterious patterns.

The silver tree's leaves glittered like countless stars.

"Stellar Immortal Wood!"

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were overjoyed. The Immortal Realm possessed a vast array of immortal woods, and ten of these were considered the most precious, known as the Ten Great Immortal Woods. Stellar Immortal Wood was one of them.

The Great Circle Stellar Array, one of the Ten Great Immortal Restrictions, was formed using Stellar Immortal Wood. It typically used Stellar Immortal Wood as its core, providing stellar energy; the older the Stellar Immortal Wood, the greater the power of the Great Circle Stellar Array.

This Stellar Immortal Wood was over forty million years old. Its power, if used to set up the Great Circle Stellar Array, would certainly be immense.

When the array master set it up, the Stellar Immortal Wood was likely not very old, and it was unknown how many years had passed since then; otherwise, the array's power wouldn't be so limited.

The gold-robed young man effortlessly shattered the silver light barrier. Wang Changsheng raised his right hand, and a shimmering azure gourd flew out, its surface bearing a lotus pattern.

The High-Grade Immortal Tool, Azure Lotus Gourd!

Wang Changsheng had collected many rare materials in the Barren Immortal Domain to refine this Azure Lotus Gourd, which was perfect for transplanting the Stellar Immortal Wood.

Wang Changsheng infused it with an incantation, and the Azure Lotus Gourd sprayed a stream of azure light, enveloping the Stellar Immortal Wood.

Wang Shen assisted him in transplanting the Stellar Immortal Wood.

They made a circuit of the estate, finding nothing else. They then departed for other locations.

A colossal valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, experienced flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder. Thick black lightning bolts streaked across the sky, striking within the valley.

Shen Ting stood inside the valley. A golden halo radiated from his body, repelling the black lightning; this was the Law of Time.

The five of them had entered this place to seek treasures but had been separated by the array. He had triggered a restriction and was trapped here.

Shen Ting's body flared with golden light. A gigantic golden halo swept forth, swiftly passing over the black lightning bolts, which then hovered in the void, descending at an incredibly slow pace.

The Law of Time could slow down restrictive attacks, as well as accelerate one's own attacks, weaken opponents, and strengthen oneself.

Seizing this opportunity, Shen Ting flew out of the colossal valley. With no black lightning striking him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out a shimmering golden formation plate and infused it with an incantation, but the golden plate gave no response. He then took out an immortal communication mirror, which also showed no reaction.

"It seems ordinary communication artifacts cannot reach Junior Martial Sister Liu and the others," Shen Ting murmured to himself. He took out a shimmering golden orb and infused it with an incantation. The golden orb immediately flared with brilliant light and flew towards the southwest, but after flying for over a hundred zhang, it fell to the ground.

"The Golden Radiance Orb is a Mid-Grade Immortal Tool," he mused. "It seems only higher-grade positioning immortal artifacts can detect Junior Martial Sister Liu's location."

Shen Ting frowned deeply. Being unable to contact his companions or use positioning immortal artifacts to reunite with them was somewhat inconvenient.

"I recall that Immortal Monarch Tailei's dwelling last appeared over ten million years ago," Shen Ting murmured, "and I wonder how many treasures are left. It seems that once the time is up, treasure seekers are teleported out. Otherwise, during its last appearance, the dwelling would have been seized by other Grand Unity Golden Immortals."

Shen Ting then transformed into a streak of light and departed.
