Hunting Immortals and Demons

On the south side of the Tongtian ruins, near the central area, lies an endless mountain range.

Energy of Earth Blood permeates this mountain range, nurturing countless Alien Beasts.

Among them, Mutated Beasts, Mutated Beast Kings, Phoenix Blood Worms, etc. are ascended. If in Lingdong, they would be regarded as extremely precious treasures, but here, no one seems to care.

Those who enter here are all geniuses, at least existences of the True Body Sixth and Seventh refinement, and they look down on these lower-tier Alien Beasts.

There are a lot of figures standing in mid-air over the mountain range.

All in all, there were over a hundred people.

These people clearly come from different powers, and have distinct boundaries. They’ve formed nine factions.

"The people from the nine great Immortal Ruins have all arrived, it seems that you all are here for the Tongtian Palace."

So spoke a soft, mild-mannered young man.

"Tongtian Immortal Ruins, in ancient times, were known as the first Immortal Ruins, Tongtian Immortal Venerable had earth-shattering strength. His residence, the Tongtian Palace, was known to never fall, but in the great war of Immortal Demons, the Tongtian Palace still fell. According to the clue given by my family’s Immortal Lord, it should have fallen in this area."

Another beautiful woman from a different faction said.

This woman, dressed in a flowered skirt, was incomparably beautiful, and a proud peacock.

"A long time has passed, and the Palace should be buried underground. However, the Tongtian Palace is covered in Will-Power Patterns. As long as we find the Will-Power Pattern Array of the Palace and stimulate it, it will not be hard for it to see the light of day again."

"Then let’s begin. First, let the Palace reappear, then we’ll talk about the rest."

After the discussion, the people from the nine great Immortal Ruins dispersed and began searching in the mountains.

Soon, it seemed that someone from an Immortal Ruin had found something and then took out a banner.

The banner was full of dense patterns.

Thunk!

A young man stabbed the banner into the ground, and instantly, the dense patterns, like little snakes, crawled down the banner, spread out on the ground, forming a massive network of patterns.

Then, Immortal Ruins continued to find suitable spots to plant similar banners.

Two hours later, nine different locations in this mountain range each had a banner planted.

The people from the nine Immortal Ruins soared into the sky and simultaneously activated the banners.

The nine banners, bloomed with brilliant light, were connected to each other, dense patterns filled the mountains.

Boom!

The next moment, the entire ground started to shake violently.

As time went by, the shaking grew more violent. In the end, peaks collapsed, boulders rolled down, and on the ground, huge cracks appeared.

Boom, boom...

Beams of light shot out from the ground and pierced the sky.

The mountains and boulders were impacted by the light, either turning into dust or flying everywhere.

Soon after, a shocking scene appeared. A massive palace emerged from the ground, and presented itself in front of everyone.

The palace was enormous, with dimensions tens of miles in length and width, it looked like an immense beast lying on the earth.

The surroundings of the palace were covered with endless symbols.

The symbols interlaced to form a huge formation.

The lights were emanations from the formation.

"Tongtian Palace."

People from the nine Immortal Ruins had fervent looks in their eyes.

"Gentlemen, now that the Tongtian Palace has appeared, as for the treasures inside, we should each depend on our own abilities, correct?"

Someone proposed.

"Just going in for the treasure would be a waste."

A young man shook his head in disagreement.

The man donned a purple robe and had purple hair, exuding an aura of elegance.

"Oh? Brother Dongfang, what do you mean by this?"

Someone enquired.

The purple-haired young man smiled and said, "When the palace appeared earlier, the light shot right into the sky, clearly perceptible within a hundred miles. I fear it’s already attracted a large number of Martial Cultivators."

"So what? Kill one if one approaches. Kill a pair if a pair approaches."

A muscular man squawked.

"Of course it’s not out of fear."

The purple-haired young man shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I would like to use the Tongtian Palace to lure in more power’s Martial Cultivators and then trap them in the palace, capturing them all at once."

"I suppose before coming here, all the Immortal Lords of your families have instructed to capture talented Martial Cultivators and bring them back, right?"

"Correct."

People from the great Immortal Ruins nodded.

"Now, each power’s people are scattered. If we want to capture them, we need to search everywhere, which is extremely difficult. If we can lure those Martial Cultivators here and capture them all together, it would be much easier."

So said the purple-haired young man.

"Don’t underestimate the masters of the world. Great powers, especially the eighteen most powerful feudal princes have produced geniuses one after another. If too many are lured in, we might not be able to handle it."

Someone contested.

"That is why we should leave the treasure in the palace untouched for the time being. Once the people from each power enter and start fighting over the treasure, they will inevitably start killing each other. We, on the other hand, can sit back and just reel in the benefits."

"Moreover, there must be Immortal Puppets inside the palace. As long as we take control of the Immortal Puppets, and then trigger the formation, if we still can’t take them down under these conditions, we might as well just bash our heads in."

The purple-haired young man added.

The people from the nine Immortal Ruins all showed intrigued looks.

After a brief discussion, they believed it to be completely feasible.

"Good, since we are all in agreement, let us immediately activate the formation at full-power to create an even bigger ruckus, draw people in, then find a way to hide Will-Power Patterns around the palace, to put it in ’dormant’ mode, in order to prevent people from being daunted by the Will-Power pattern and dare not enter."

The purple-haired young man suggested.

Having decided, everyone started to act. The nine great Immortal Ruins people join forces and activated the Tongtian Palace’s formation at full power.

Roar!

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar shook the nine heavens.

The Tongtian Palace gave off light, endless light merged, transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon shadow, rushed towards the sky above, coloring the sky golden. Even from thousands of miles away, it could be seen.

At this moment, all the Martial Cultivators within a thousand miles of the Tongtian Palace looked in its direction.

"A heavenly vision, the emergence of the true dragon, there must be unparalleled treasures."

"There are records in the ruins that there was a never-falling Immortal Palace in the Tongtian Immortal Ruins, could it mean that the Immortal Palace has reappeared?"

"There’s a treasure, let’s check it out."

Figures moved from all directions, heading towards Tongtian Palace.

More than eight hundred miles away from the Tongtian Palace.

Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo both turn their eyes towards the sky.

"A five-clawed golden dragon, no, it’s an illusion."

Lu Yan exclaimed.

Flood Dragons only have four claws, if it has five, then it’s a real dragon.

"It appears to be very far away from us. If we can see it from such a distance, it must be astonishing. Lu Yan, do you want to explore?"

Shen Yinuo asked.

"Go, we certainly have to go."

Lu Yan nodded. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The so-called saying - greater skill brings greater courage.

This time his power has exploded, he doesn’t have to be too cautious in the southern part of the Tongtian relics.

The First Transformation of the Primordial Spirit, he won’t be scared of anyone who comes.

The two of them started at full speed, heading towards the direction of the Tongtian Palace.

On their way, they were attacked by some Alien Beasts, but both of them dodged with surprise but no danger.

Of course, this also hampers their speed, so it took the two of them half a day to travel a little over eight hundred miles.

"A palace is in sight."

Lu Yan looked surprised as some figures flew into the palace’s entrance, disappearing from sight.

"It seems quite a few people have already gone in."

Shen Yinuo said.

"Let’s also go inside and check it out, but be careful, Yinuo. Check if there is a Will-Power Pattern around the palace."

Lu Yan stated.

The two approached and Shen Yinuo examined carefully, saying, "There are Will-Power Patterns around, but they lack spirituality. The Will-Power Pattern must have lost its power after so many years. It won’t be of much use."

But Lu Yan frowned slightly.

Because the Dao Book still gave an alert.

This indicates that the Will Power Patterns here are not without danger.

Nevertheless, like the saying he mentioned earlier - greater skill brings greater courage, even if the Will Power Patterns work, he has the Dao Book to perceive danger and with Shen Yinuo’s mastery of the Will-Power Patterns, they should be fine.

With a flash, the two entered the entrance of the Tongtian Palace, disappearing into the grand layers of architecture.

Not long after Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo entered, another group of people arrived outside the Tongtian Palace.

Leading them was Wu Hao of the Shengwu Sect.

They were also quite cautious, not entering immediately. They first observed the surroundings to make sure there was no danger before they went into the Tongtian Palace together.

In the following hours, several more waves of people entered the Tongtian Ruins.

Then, with a flicker of figures, people reappeared from the nine Fairy Ruins.

"Most of them have gone in. Those who are supposed to arrive should be here by now. Those who are too far away can’t see."

"Activate the formation, let’s fish in the barrel."

The people from the nine Fairy Ruins took action together and soon, around the Tongtian Palace, the Will-Power Patterns shone brightly again, forming a large array that enveloped the entire Tongtian Palace.

The people inside the Tongtian Palace didn’t notice at all.

Then, the people from the nine Fairy Ruins flashed out and entered the Tongtian Palace. Around the palace, the Will Power Patterns did not hinder them at all. Those patterns like little snakes seemed to have spirituality, automatically avoiding them as if on their own.

...

As soon as they entered the Tongtian Palace, the Dao Book had a strong desire.

"Dao Food, there is a lot of Dao Food here, many places have Dao Food."

Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.

"Yinuo, follow me."

Lu Yan pulled Shen Yinuo along a corridor.

Inside the palace, the architecture was grand and majestic, but the layout was also extremely complex - the hallways intersected like a labyrinth.

The others could only rely on luck to find their way.

But Lu Yan only needed to follow the guidance of the Dao Book.

After crossing two corridors and one quadrangle, Lu Yan, and Shen Yinuo arrived in a living room.

On both sides of the living room, two vases were placed.

Of course, there were no flowers in the vases, and Lu Yan’s target wasn’t flowers, but these two vases.

According to the guidance of the Dao Book, these two vases contained immortal power. Although the concentration of immortal power was small, even a mosquito is meat.

Lu Yan waved his hand, taking the two vases.

"What’s the use of these?"

Shen Yinuo was curious.

"There’s immortal power in them."

Lu Yan said.

"Oh!"

Shen Yinuo nodded, not asking further.

She has always known that Lu Yan could swallow items that contain immortal power. The two of them spent a lot of time together, so he naturally did not hide his swallowing of the Immortal Bone from her.

But if Lu Yan wouldn’t speak, she doesn’t ask.

It’s the same when she doesn’t want to talk about something, Lu Yan doesn’t ask either.

This was the unspoken understanding between the two.

"Let’s go."

After storing the vases away, the two headed elsewhere.

On the way, Lu Yan collected several more items in succession. Whether they were bronze artefacts or strange metals, all contained immortal power.

He had to sigh, the Fairy Ruins are indeed Fairy Ruins, any item randomly picked up there might contain immortal power.
