Chapter 4435

Wang Mengli also hurried over; it was she who had just used the Law of Illusion to easily influence the two mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals.

"Tun Tian, have you encountered any other Taiyi Golden Immortals? Did you collect any rare immortal herbs?" Wang Ruyan asked.

Wang Tun Tian replied truthfully, "Besides the Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Qin family, I only met these three. I collected some immortal herbs, but nothing rare." He briefly described his experience. He had been with Wang Changsheng longer than Wang Ruyan and possessed many good items: high-grade immortal artifacts, high-grade chaotic armor, and third-tier immortal pills. If not for the high-grade chaotic armor this time, he would have been in trouble, as he was only an early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Wang Changsheng conjured a green, shimmering pagoda, and he and Wang Mengli flew inside. He was quite cautious and didn't rashly search the souls of the Taiyi Golden Immortals' Nascent Souls, as special restrictions might have been planted. It was safer for Wang Mengli to use the Law of Illusion to extract information.

A short while later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Mengli flew out of the green pagoda.

"These three entered the immortal training ground in their early years. Shen Ting and Liu Qian from Haotian Palace are also here, as are the Taiyi Golden Immortals from the Qin family, including the Qin family ancestor, Qin Yunfeng," Wang Changsheng said.

"Let's go to the core area to get Immortal Monarch Tailei's inheritance and leave here early! Let's try to avoid direct confrontation with them!" Wang Ruyan suggested.

Wang Changsheng nodded, "It will be convenient once we meet up with Tun Tian. Let's head to the core area." The Moonyoke Star Stone Wang Tun Tian obtained was a bit small; more Moonyoke Star Stones would be needed to upgrade the Time Immortal Artifact, Heavenly Star Mirror, to a high-grade immortal artifact. They collected the valuables from the enemies and departed.

In a hidden underground cave, loud explosions occasionally echoed, shaking the ground. Inside the cave, Liu Qian stood before an uneven stone wall. A golden light curtain covered the wall, and through it, a humanoid skeleton was visible. On the skeleton's right bone hand was a golden storage bracelet.

Liu Qian activated the Law of Fire to attack the golden light curtain, causing its spiritual light to dim. Liu Qian changed her incantation, and a white, shimmering flying sword immediately flared with brilliance, emitting countless white electrical arcs. The white flying sword struck the golden light curtain, which instantly shattered.

Joy appeared on her face. Just then, countless blood-red threads emerged from the ground, weaving into a large bloody hand that reached for Liu Qian. As Liu Qian was about to evade, a loud beast roar sounded, shaking her soul sea. Liu Qian's delicate body trembled, and white flames surged from her surface, protecting her entire body. The bloody hand touched the white flames, causing wisps of smoke to rise.

Above her, the void rippled, and a massive vortex appeared. A bloody hand flew out from it and slapped towards Liu Qian. Liu Qian reacted quickly, slashing her right hand towards the void above her head. A huge white sword light swept out, striking the bloody hand with a muffled thud, then dissipating. Her body glowed brightly with white light, and a white light curtain appeared. The bloody hand slapped the white light curtain, producing a muffled sound, and the light curtain's spiritual glow dimmed.

Countless thin blood threads drilled out from underground, weaving into a blood-red spear. It struck the white light curtain, shattering it. The blood-red spear pierced Liu Qian's body, and her physical form shriveled at a visible rate. As soon as her Nascent Soul left her body, a wave of bloody light flew from the vortex, enveloped the Nascent Soul, and drew it into the vortex.

A broad-shouldered, stout youth in a blood-red shirt flew out from the vortex, exuding an overwhelming demonic aura. "Excellent. Eating a few more Taiyi Golden Immortals' Nascent Souls will be enough to cultivate to the Grand Perfection stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal," the youth muttered to himself as he collected Liu Qian's belongings. He took out a blood-red shimmering magic disk, on which a dozen golden light dots were visible and moving.

"Almost at the core area. Dinner is served," the blood-robed youth said excitedly. He collected Liu Qian's belongings, burned the corpse, and flew into the vortex, which then healed.

At the foot of a towering, steep peak stood a golden stone tablet over a hundred zhang high, inscribed with the three golden characters "Tailei Peak." A flight of green stone steps extended from the base to the summit. Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tun Tian stood at the foot of the mountain. Wang Tun Tian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light.

"The restrictions are too strong. I can vaguely see a palace, and the plaque reads 'Tailei Hall'," Wang Tun Tian said.

"When the immortal training ground appeared last time, why did no one discover this place?" Wang Changsheng wondered, his face full of confusion. The three Taiyi Golden Immortals who attacked Wang Tun Tian had entered Immortal Monarch Tailei's training ground in their earlier years, but they were only Golden Immortals then. This was their second time entering the training ground. They hadn't encountered any particularly troublesome restrictions on their journey so far. Could it be that the training ground had existed for too long, weakening the power of its restrictions? Or perhaps, all the powerful restrictions were concentrated on Tailei Peak.

"In any case, let's be careful!" Wang Ruyan said.

Wang Changsheng nodded, then frowned, "Someone is approaching."

Wang Tun Tian immediately looked to the southwest, frowning, and said, "It's Shen Ting and Qin Yunfeng." The Qin family's ancestral land was in the Sky Night Sea Domain; Wang Tun Tian had seen Qin Yunfeng in his earlier years.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan frowned. They had already changed their appearances, so they weren't worried about being recognized. However, Immortal Monarch Tailei's inheritance was right before them, and they couldn't back down.

Two streaks of light appeared on the distant horizon, flashed, and then stopped, revealing the figures of Shen Ting and Qin Yunfeng.

"Tailei Peak! This must be where Immortal Monarch Tailei's inheritance is located," Qin Yunfeng said excitedly.

Shen Ting's gaze fell upon Wang Changsheng and his two companions, his face filled with murderous intent. He wouldn't allow anyone else to lay claim to Immortal Monarch Tailei's inheritance. He said, "You three, go up the mountain."

"Use us as cannon fodder? You think too highly of yourself!" Wang Changsheng sneered, retracting Wang Tun Tian into his spirit beast bracelet. This was his first time facing a Taiyi Golden Immortal who wielded a supreme law, so he couldn't be careless.

"Letting you be cannon fodder is a sign of respect. Since you don't appreciate it, then I'll send you on your way. Fellow Daoist Qin, let's eliminate them together so they won't interfere when we break the restrictions and retrieve the treasure," Shen Ting ordered.

Qin Yunfeng nodded, shook his right hand, and two streaks of light flew out from his spirit beast bracelet, revealing a graceful young woman in a black dress and a burly man in a yellow shirt. Both exuded overwhelming demonic energy and were early-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals.

"Kill them," Qin Yunfeng ordered.

A black halo bloomed from the black-dressed young woman's body, heading straight for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. Wherever the black halo passed, corrosive marks appeared on the ground, and wisps of smoke rose. The yellow-shirted man's body glowed brightly with yellow light, transforming into a massive yellow giant ape, baring its fangs and its eyes gleaming ferociously.
