The core area of the Kunlun Ruins was a vast, boundless black bamboo forest.
Wang Qingling and the four others advanced slowly, their faces filled with caution. They proceeded according to the map provided by Wang Changsheng. Along the way, they encountered numerous restrictions that they had to avoid. The city's restrictions had clearly been altered, which was expected. If the restrictions were permanent and unchanging, no matter how powerful, they wouldn't deter treasure hunters.
Wang Qingxiao held a piece of green beast skin, carefully comparing it.
“Wait!”
Wang Qingling frowned, her right index finger glowing with a dazzling green light. She gently tapped the void, and a long green rainbow shot out, heading directly towards a certain spot in the void.
A black light illuminated the void, revealing a black-robed man with a ferocious face. He was over thirty feet tall and had two blood-red horns on his head.
“An Outland Demon at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage!”
Ye Haitang exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't expected to encounter an Outland Demon of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage so soon.
The Outland Demon unleashed a black sound wave, meeting the green rainbow. Both were annihilated, and the powerful air current cracked the ground. The Outland Demon transformed into an afterimage and fled into the distance. However, before it could get far, a white cold wind swept in, catching up to it.
After a scream, the Outland Demon was sent flying backward. A finger-sized hole appeared on its head, and it disintegrated into points of black light. Wang Qingxiao appeared. He had already mastered the laws, so destroying an Outland Demon of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage was effortless for him. Most Outland Demons are proficient in the Law of Concealment. Before acquiring a physical body, their strength is limited, making them relatively easy to deal with in a direct confrontation. Outland Demons typically appear when immortals or chaos beasts are severely injured, as this is the easiest time for them to seize a physical body.
“Oh, what’s this?”
Wang Qingling uttered a soft exclamation, and with a grab into the void, a green jade stone flew out from a pile of rubble and landed in her hand. Wang Qingling observed it carefully and gasped.
“A Primordial Object!”
Wang Qingling’s voice trembled with overwhelming joy.
“There are too many Primordial Objects! Father also found one in the Kunlun Ruins before, just lying on the ground.” Wang Qingfeng asked, puzzled.
Before setting off, Wang Changsheng had recounted his experiences in the Kunlun Ruins to them. Wang Changsheng had also obtained a Primordial Object in the Kunlun Ruins, which was casually scattered on the ground. They had thought it was left behind after a battle between powerful cultivators. Now that they had entered the Kunlun Ruins and easily obtained another Primordial Object, it was difficult to explain. If previous visitors had brought them in, why wouldn't they use them? Even without Taoist techniques, they could surely exchange them for resources. Why would they need to bring a Primordial Object into the Kunlun Ruins for treasure hunting? Or perhaps the owners didn't know what they were?
“Could there be a place here with many Primordial Objects? Or perhaps a rare treasure that can produce Primordial Objects?” Ye Haitang put forth a bold hypothesis.
“That’s possible. If we search carefully, we might find more Primordial Objects. How about we conduct a thorough search?” Wang Yunlong suggested.
“It’s already very fortunate to have found one Primordial Object. Uncle Nine sent us here for a specific item. Let’s get that first, then we can search slowly.” Wang Qingling said.
Wang Changsheng had repeatedly emphasized that they must obtain that item, and Wang Qingling understood its importance. Anything Wang Changsheng was so focused on must be extraordinary.
Wang Qingfeng and the other four deeply agreed, continuing their advance until they disappeared into the bamboo forest.
On the outskirts of the Kunlun Ruins, in a long, narrow valley, a humanoid skeleton could be seen. Chen Yueying, Ni Tianlong, Li Qinghuan, and the Four Seasons Sword Master stood outside the valley, their expressions grave.
“Among the four of us, my physical body is the strongest. I’ll give it a try!” Ni Tianlong said. They had discovered the remains of an ancient cultivator, but the valley had a gravity restriction, and Ni Tianlong was only a peak True Spirit.
A golden light shone brightly from his body as he strode into the valley. As soon as he entered, he felt a powerful gravitational pull, and his legs felt as if they were filled with molten lead. Ni Tianlong’s pace was not fast. After twenty steps, his legs trembled uncontrollably, his face flushed red, and he was gasping for breath.
He frowned and took out a crimson pill. This was a Blood Lotus Pill, a secret medicine of the Wang family, refined with the crystal core of a seven-colored chaos beast at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. It could temporarily enhance physical strength, though it would be followed by a period of weakness. Ni Tianlong swallowed the Blood Lotus Pill. A golden light erupted from his body, and he quickened his pace, reaching the corpse. He removed a golden storage bracelet from the humanoid skeleton's hand and retreated.
Back with Chen Yueying and the others, he flicked his wrist. A golden glow swept across, and a large pile of items appeared on the ground, including two Kunlun Tokens.
“A Primordial Spirit Treasure!” Chen Yueying exclaimed in surprise, her gaze fixed on a golden orb.
The Four Seasons Sword Master examined it carefully and nodded, saying, “It’s exactly as described in the ancient texts; it is indeed a Primordial Spirit Treasure!”
“This belongs to all of us. When we leave the Kunlun Ruins, we’ll hand it over to Senior Wang in exchange for cultivation resources.” Ni Tianlong said. If he claimed it was his, Chen Yueying and the two others might have harbored ill intentions; treasures are tempting. But if it belonged to everyone, it was different.
“That’s how it should be. We agreed that if there’s anything especially rare and indivisible, it should be shared.” Chen Yueying said.
“This beast skin records the situation in the Kunlun Ruins' core area. Should we make a trip there?” Li Qinghuan said.
“We’ve come all this way; we might as well go! Hopefully, we can find something even better.” Ni Tianlong said.
Chen Yueying and the two others all agreed. They divided the other items and left, heading towards the core area.
On the outskirts of the Kunlun Ruins, in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, lay a mostly collapsed manor. Seven chaos beasts were active within the manor, seemingly searching for something. They pushed over houses, lifted rockeries, or turned over tiles to check underneath.
“What exactly are we looking for? Lord Sun, could you please clarify?” An eight-colored chaos beast asked.
“Primordial Objects. Last time, Lord Bat found one beneath a tile.” A nine-colored chaos beast resembling a monkey said. Sun, who had evolved three times, possessed a cultivation base at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.
“That must have been luck! Primordial Objects are not that common!” The eight-colored chaos beast said.
“Perhaps. Lord Bat found the Primordial Object in the core area back then, so maybe they can only be found there! Be thorough; finding a Primordial Object or a Primordial Spirit Treasure will be a great achievement.” Sun instructed.
The six chaos beasts agreed. They searched for over an hour, digging deep into the ground, but found nothing.
“Let’s go, we’ll check other places.” Sun instructed.
The seven chaos beasts left, and tranquility returned to the area.
About a cup of tea’s time later, a yellow light illuminated the steep rock face, and a giant yellow lizard appeared. A dazzling yellow light erupted from the yellow lizard’s body, transforming it into a slender young man in a golden robe and a stout man in a yellow robe. Judging by the golden-robed youth’s attire, he was clearly a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace, while the yellow-robed man exuded a powerful demonic aura.
“The core area! Primordial Objects! We need to find a way to inform Senior Brother Xu and the others.” The golden-robed youth muttered to himself. He had merged with his fated spirit beast, the Chameleon Lizard, and overheard the chaos beasts’ conversation. He and the yellow-robed man left the area to rendezvous with their companions.
