Chapter 4482: Huge Harvest

Wang Changsheng had consulted some formation texts, but formations are incredibly diverse, with new ones constantly emerging. As he couldn't possibly know them all, he decided to break the formation with brute force.

Golden light erupted from Wang Changsheng’s body. Six brilliant golden arms emerged, and eight golden fists successively pounded the large door. The door shattered, revealing a stone chamber over a hundred zhang in size.

As the door collapsed, an astonishing heat wave surged forth. On the walls were carved three miniature dragon heads, each spewing crimson flames that converged at the base of a massive, three-legged, two-handled red cauldron.

A lifelike qilin pattern was etched onto the body of the red cauldron, and the qilin appeared to be alive, its eyes constantly moving.

"Is this for refining a treasure?" Wang Changsheng was slightly taken aback. The powerful restrictions in this stone chamber suggested that the item within the red cauldron was extraordinary.

He opened the cauldron lid, stepped closer, and a pipa glowing with continuous blue light appeared and floated out.

"A high-grade immortal artifact!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed.

"It must be a high-grade immortal artifact infused with a Primordial Spirit Treasure. An ordinary high-grade immortal artifact wouldn't require such formidable restrictions," Wang Changsheng remarked.

With a single gesture, the blue pipa flew towards Wang Ruyan and settled into her hand.

"Heavenly Illusion Pipa!" Wang Ruyan read the small characters etched onto the pipa's surface.

Her fingers swept across the pipa strings, and a stirring melody filled the air. Wang Changsheng instantly felt dizzy, and his surroundings began to blur.

He wore the Nine-Yang Heavenly Soul Lock, a treasure designed primarily to defend against soul attacks. However, the Heavenly Illusion Pipa's attacks leaned towards illusion techniques, making them difficult to counter.

"Excellent, this treasure is much more potent than the Heavenly Sound Flute." Wang Ruyan's face lit up with joy. When she used the Law of Sound against enemies, it typically took time to ensnare them in an illusion. The Heavenly Illusion Pipa, however, could instantly immerse people in an illusion, demonstrating its considerable power.

"I'll refine this treasure first; we might need it later," Wang Ruyan said, then sat cross-legged to begin refining the Heavenly Illusion Pipa.

Wang Changsheng put away the red cauldron and exited the chamber.

Wang Tunian approached and reported, "Master, the jade slip's contents are mostly related to immortal wines. There are numerous recipes, including three types of fourth-tier immortal wine and eighteen types of third-tier. The most valuable is the Dragon-Phoenix Brew, a fourth-tier immortal wine that can help immortals cultivate a top-tier immortal physique. It requires the refined crystal core of a Nine-Colored Chaos Beast at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage."

Immortal physiques have two stages; Wang Changsheng currently possessed an ordinary immortal physique, with the next stage being a top-tier immortal physique.

"Dragon-Phoenix Brew! Why such a name? It doesn't require the essence blood of a Great Luo Golden Immortal-stage True Dragon or Heavenly Phoenix, does it?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"No, it doesn't. It requires various rare immortal herbs, with Dragon-Nectar Flower and Phoenix-Parting Ganoderma as the primary ingredients, both over sixty million years old," Wang Tunian explained.

"Is there no information about Immortal Monarch Qingmei or this place?" Wang Changsheng inquired.

"This is a secret realm that Immortal Monarch Qingmei discovered. He acquired a substantial amount of cultivation resources here, which propelled his cultivation forward rapidly. He then modified this secret realm. As for Immortal Monarch Qingmei's current whereabouts, they are unknown," Wang Tunian stated.

Wang Changsheng nodded and approached the final stone chamber. Learning from his previous experience, he directly employed the Daoist art Eight-Armed Vajra, effortlessly breaking open the large door. A rich aroma of wine immediately wafted out. The chamber contained dozens of wine jars, each bearing a red paper label with the wine's name.

Three jars contained fourth-tier immortal wine, while the remainder held third-tier immortal wine.

"Ten Directions Immortal Dew! A fourth-tier immortal wine, this elixir can assist Grand Unity Golden Immortals in opening their immortal apertures and breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage." Wang Tunian's gaze landed on an exquisite wine jar with a red label prominently displaying the characters "Ten Directions Immortal Dew."

"Assisting Grand Unity Golden Immortals in advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage!" Wang Changsheng was both surprised and delighted; this was a truly unexpected gain.

He collected all the immortal wines from the chamber, and Wang Ruyan also completed the refinement of the Heavenly Illusion Pipa.

The entire Green Plum Palace began to shake violently, startling Wang Changsheng.

"This is bad. He's attacking the Green Plum Palace! Quickly activate the formation and teleport all treasure seekers out," Wang Changsheng commanded.

Wang Tunian retrieved a green jade slip and handed it to Wang Changsheng, explaining that it contained the method for controlling the formation.

Wang Changsheng scanned it with his divine sense and nodded.

They returned to the first stone chamber, where Wang Changsheng recalled Wang Lin and the others into his spirit beast bracelet.

With a tremendous crash, the stone chamber collapsed as an enormous red hand slapped down. If the formation were destroyed, none of them would be able to escape.

Wang Changsheng summoned the Five Heaven Star Mirrors, which emitted a golden radiance to counter the incoming attack.

The red hand collided with the golden radiance, and its descent slowed.

A whooshing sound filled the air as a crimson streak shot toward them. Wang Changsheng quickly conjured the Qianyu Shield to block it.

With a dull thud, more cracks appeared on the Qianyu Shield's surface. The crimson streak was revealed to be a red spear.

Wang Changsheng was somewhat surprised, concluding that the red spear must have been infused with a Primordial Spirit Treasure; otherwise, its power wouldn't be so immense.

The ground spontaneously ignited, and towering flames erupted, a rolling inferno rushing straight towards them.

Wang Ruyan reacted swiftly. Her fingers swept across the pipa strings, unleashing a blue sound wave that swept forth and halted the blazing inferno.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal and channeled several incantations into the formation.

Immortal Monarch Lieyang's expression darkened as he gazed at the golden radiance.

"A complete set of temporal immortal artifacts!" Immortal Monarch Lieyang exclaimed, his eyes blazing with desire and his killing intent growing even stronger.

Just then, a powerful spatial force emerged, and a colossal void appeared, sucking him in. The void quickly sealed itself, and the red spear flew towards where the void had been.

Wang Changsheng summoned the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, which emitted an azure glow that enveloped the red spear, drawing it into the cauldron before he sealed the lid.

In a vast, sprawling valley, Xing Xin lay on the ground. Ke stood nearby, clutching a nascent soul that bore a striking resemblance to Xing Xin.

"A rare treasure capable of drawing lightning tribulations! A supreme-grade immortal artifact infused with a Primordial Spirit Treasure?" Ke murmured to himself.

It had entered the cultivation grounds in search of treasures and unexpectedly encountered Xing Xin. Xing Xin was no match for Ke, who destroyed her physical body and captured her nascent soul.

Just then, a powerful spatial force emerged. A colossal black hole manifested, and Ke's body uncontrollably flew towards it. It clutched Xing Xin's corpse as it was drawn into the void, which then sealed itself as if it had never existed.

Outside the green light gate, countless miles away on a vast, boundless green grassland, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan materialized. Their faces showed full vigilance, and their divine senses were completely extended.

They found no other immortals, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. That had been a narrow escape; they were almost killed by a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

They hadn't used their true appearances, but Immortal Monarch Lieyang must have memorized their aura. If they encountered him again, he would undoubtedly recognize them, even if they altered their looks.

"Let's leave this place first!" Wang Changsheng said, and he and Wang Ruyan departed.
