Chapter 4476: Entering the Dojo

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Liu, have you heard? The Golden Worm King Tribe and Sky Witch City are in an all-out war, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties," the young woman in the silver skirt said.

"I've heard," Immortal Lord Lieyang replied. "It has nothing to do with us. It's a good thing I didn't go to Chaos Continent, or if I were conscripted, I might have perished."

"Three Dao artifacts have appeared in the Nine Star Immortal Realm. Many immortals are trying to clear the Qiankun Pagoda, but no one knows who can defeat a Supreme of the same cultivation level and gain a chance for rebirth." The young woman in the silver skirt's face was full of envy.

"How difficult it is to defeat a Supreme of the same cultivation level!" Immortal Lord Lieyang sighed. "It's already remarkable that three Dao artifacts have appeared. To also possess the strength to defeat a Supreme of the same level requires both luck and strength; neither is dispensable."

Half a day later, the young girl in the silver skirt returned.

"Elder Xing, Shen Ting's Nascent Soul is currently on Cloud River Continent!" the young girl in the silver skirt said.

"Are you certain?" the young woman in the silver skirt pressed.

"Grandchild has deduced it repeatedly," the young girl in the silver skirt replied truthfully. "Shen Ting's Nascent Soul is indeed on Cloud River Continent, but Grandchild doesn't comprehend the Law of Fate, so I can only deduce this far." She was only able to deduce its presence on Cloud River Continent using the Heaven's Mystery Compass, which had been refined into a Grandmist Spirit Treasure. She couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

"That's enough," Immortal Lord Lieyang said. "After all these years, we finally have news! Madam Xing, let's make a trip there! I always keep my word."

The young woman in the silver skirt nodded and instructed, "Yun'er, perform a deduction every so often. If the Nascent Soul leaves Cloud River Continent, send someone to inform us."

"Yes, Elder Xing," the young girl in the silver skirt agreed.

The young woman in the silver skirt and Immortal Lord Lieyang left Star Kui Island and headed for Cloud River Continent.

On Cloud River Continent, lay a vast, boundless emerald-green grassland.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, Ximen Zhi, Ximen Yong, and Ximen De stood on a low mound, gazing into a certain void.

"The entrance is right here," Ximen Zhi said with a heavy tone. "However, the restrictions are too powerful. We hadn't even had time to break through them when we were discovered by Chaos Beasts."

"Let's break through the restrictions as soon as possible!" Wang Changsheng said. "Lest we prolong the night and invite trouble."

He held the Sky-Severing Axe, infused it with immortal essence, and the axe glowed with dazzling golden light as he cleaved towards the void. With a piercing whoosh, a golden axe blade swept forth, tearing the void open and creating a massive rift.

Wang Ruyan also summoned her Heavenly Sound Flute and began to play. A blue sound wave swept out, heading straight for a certain spot in the void. Ximen Zhi and his two brothers performed a combined attack, striking a certain point in the void.

After a series of massive explosions, ripples spread through the void, and a glowing green light gate, constantly shimmering, appeared.

The three Ximen brothers' bodies glowed with spiritual light. They punched forward, and three fist shadows of different colors flashed out, instantly merging into a single three-colored giant fist that smashed onto the green light gate. The green light gate only shook slightly; that was all.

Wang Changsheng threw a punch, shattering the void and creating numerous cracks that rapidly expanded. A massive blue fist flashed out, striking the green light gate precisely. The green light gate shook violently, slowly began to open, and then a giant blue palm covered in mysterious musical notes shot forth, slamming onto the green light gate. With a thunderous roar, the green light gate shook again, but it had still not fully opened.

Wang Changsheng frowned, raised his right hand, and the Sky-Severing Axe flew from his grasp, hacking towards the green light gate. With a deafening roar, the green light gate burst open, and an incredibly thick beam of green light surged out, shooting straight into the sky.

The expressions of Wang Changsheng and the other four darkened. Such a huge commotion would definitely attract Chaos Beasts.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and over a hundred bee puppets flew out, heading towards the green light gate. The over hundred bee puppets flew into the green light gate without triggering any restrictions.

"Chaos Beasts are approaching," Wang Ruyan said.

"Let's go! We'll enter first!" Wang Changsheng declared. He summoned a shimmering blue treasured umbrella, which lowered a dense blue light barrier, enveloping him and Wang Ruyan as they flew towards the green light gate.

The three Ximen brothers also cast a defensive spell on themselves and flew towards the green light gate.

Shortly after they entered the green light gate, dozens of Chaos Beasts arrived. Upon seeing the green light gate high in the sky, they all returned to report.

After a slight dizzying sensation, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan appeared in a vast, boundless wasteland. The three Ximen brothers were not with them.

A treasured umbrella, continuously swirling with blue light, floated above their heads, and a dense blue water curtain enveloped them. A rumble of thunder echoed, followed by a deafening peal of thunder. An incredibly thick six-colored immortal lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wang Changsheng snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and five Heavenly Star Mirrors flew out, hovering above his head. He performed a hand seal, and the surfaces of the five Heavenly Star Mirrors shone brightly, each emitting a golden ray of light that met the lightning. The golden rays collided with the six-colored immortal lightning, which then stopped mid-air, its descent infinitely delayed. If they were attempting to break through to a major realm, doing this would only increase the power of the lightning tribulation.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Tun Tian, letting him scout ahead. Wang Tun Tian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he gazed forward.

"Beyond this wasteland, there's a spiritual herb garden with many immortal herbs," Wang Tun Tian said excitedly.

Wang Changsheng nodded and strode forward. Six-colored immortal lightning bolts occasionally struck down, but as soon as they approached within a hundred zhang of them, they were blocked by the golden rays of light. Even the most powerful restrictions require some time to reach their target, and time-based immortal artifacts can infinitely delay this time.

Before long, they disappeared into the wasteland.

In the central part of Cloud River Continent, within an endless range of emerald-green mountains, a colossal city named "Hak City" could be seen deep within the peaks, its signboard displaying the three large characters. The city contained numerous Chaos Beasts.

In a hidden underground cave, an eight-colored Chaos Beast, resembling a mouse, was reporting to a beast-humanoid nine-colored Chaos Beast.

"Great Priest," the eight-colored Chaos Beast reported, "an ancient cultivator's abode has appeared. It's unclear which realm of cultivator passed away there, but immortals have already gone inside to search for treasures."

"You didn't capture anyone alive?" the nine-colored Chaos Beast asked. K, an early Grand Luo Golden Immortal, had evolved three times and comprehended the Law of Soul.

"No," the eight-colored Chaos Beast reported. "They had already entered before our tribesmen arrived. The number of individuals is unknown, as is their cultivation level. The ancient cultivator's abode is located within our territory. Anyone daring to enter it to search for treasures must at least be a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, or possibly even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

"Understood. I'll go there immediately and relay the message to the Nuoyi Tribe. These immortals surely have ulterior motives; we cannot let them benefit," K instructed.

"Yes, Great Priest," the eight-colored Chaos Beast agreed.
