Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

183: Chapter 185 Chongming, Looted and Gleaned”Damn it!”

Fury flashed in Yuan Feng’s eyes as the immortal artifact revived once more. Threads of crystal-clear, brilliant Immortal Dao Laws bloomed, as if an ancient Immortal was enraged, instantly shattering the special Dao patterns etched into the surroundings.

These special Dao patterns had existed here for an unknown number of years, specifically etched by the master of the Immortal Cave to guard the ancient dwelling.

As time passed and years flowed by, these Dao patterns, which were once sufficient to suppress and kill a Golden Core True Monarch, had long since decayed under the power of time.

Like duckweed without roots or a tree without a source, they were strong in appearance but weak in reality, only able to erupt with power for a moment before failing to sustain themselves and dissipating on their own.

”The luck of your Chen family disciples is truly good; they can find an ancient Immortal Cave left by an ancient Nascent Soul Earth Immortal just by going out. Tsk tsk.”

Gui Li’s figure manifested, arms crossed, sizing up the ancient Immortal Cave with interest.

”Hmm... the Materials used to build this ancient Immortal Cave are not simple; they’re mixed with some Nascent Soul-level Immortal Materials. Their hardness exceeds even top-grade Magic Treasures by a margin. No wonder you couldn’t blast open the cave entrance.”

”This is... South Li Fire Jade. Good stuff. It’s a material used for forging Fire-attribute Magic Treasures, very suitable for that little girl with the Vermilion Bird destiny.”

”And East Sea Cold Iron, this is also good stuff. It can be used to forge Magic Treasures for the ren water path. However, the Chen family doesn’t have many ren water Cultivators, so it can be taken to auction.”

The Immortal Artifact spirit’s eyes glowed as she held a head-sized fiery-red jade stone in her hands, stroking it carefully, looking as if she were about to drool.

Yuan Feng stared at the teleportation jade platform for a long while before shifting his gaze away.

Before leaving the mountain, Chen Xianting had specifically gone to Wangyue Cliff, hoping he could provide some life-saving means or similar items.

Thus, he had given a strand of hair to Chen Xianting. Once she encountered an irresistible danger, she could activate the hair to anchor the coordinates and guide his true body to descend.

His Myriad Transformations Fine Hair was not a one-time consumable; it could be activated repeatedly, as long as one infused it with mana.

The greater use of this Spell was to serve as a coordinate, like a lighthouse in the sea; once activated, it could guide his way and point out the location.

Of course, he didn’t necessarily have to descend with his true body; he could use a Divided Soul as well.

However, Yuan Feng still preferred to move out with his true body.

No other reason—he was just a Dou Zhan addict. Fighting felt great!

”A cross-realm teleportation, and it’s a teleportation array within an ancient Nascent Soul Immortal Cave. I wonder what level the world it leads to is...”

Yuan Feng fell into deep thought.

A world that an ancient Nascent Soul Earth Immortal would specifically carve a teleportation array for within their own created Immortal Cave was likely not that simple.

”According to what True Monarch Qiusha said, an average world can give birth to a Purple Mansion True Person, a medium-scale world can give birth to existences on par with a Golden Core True Monarch, and a high-scale world can give birth to existences in the Nascent Soul Earth Immortal realm.”

”Further up are the worlds known as Great Realms. Their heaven and earth are stable, their Laws are perfect, and they can produce great existences at the level of Immortal Lords or even Dao Lords.”

”If Xianting, Xianling, and the others went to a medium-scale world, then I can plan carefully. If it’s a high-scale world, I can only cooperate with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion or the Great Qi Imperial Family.”

There was no other way; the situation was stronger than the person. A high-scale world was not something a newly promoted Golden Core True Monarch like him could swallow alone.

And if he cooperated with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion or the Great Qi Imperial Family, even if they could take down that world, he would certainly be in a weak position regarding the distribution of resources.

”I’ll wait until Little Ting’er and the others have completely teleported to that world before deciding.”

Yuan Feng stopped thinking about it and turned to inspect the Immortal Cave.

Thinking too much was useless. Once Chen Xianting and the others arrived in that world and scouted the situation, they could contact him through the hair and inform him of the specifics.

A world, even if it was just an ordinary-scale world, contained a massive amount of resources.

His growth required clan destiny points, and the source of clan destiny points was the Chen family Cultivators.

For the Chen family Cultivators to become stronger, resources were indispensable.

Therefore, after learning about the Heaven Mending Plan, Yuan Feng had intentions of invading other worlds.

In the cultivation world, the weak were prey to the strong; in the endless starry sky, the powerful were respected.

If you don’t fight and snatch, how can you compare to others or catch up to them?

”Dou Zhan, come over here.”

At this moment, Gui Li’s voice interrupted Yuan Feng.

He walked toward where Gui Li was.

He saw the Heavenly Immortal Artifact spirit standing before a stone tablet, reading it with great interest.

”What era’s script is this? It’s somewhat different from the script of the current world.”

Looking at the earthworm-like symbols on the stone tablet, Yuan Feng immediately felt a headache.

”This is script from the Middle Ancient period. It’s normal for an ape like you not to know it.”

Gui Li scolded him without any politeness.

In the history of this realm, after the Great Tribulation of the Remote Antiquity, there was a period called the Chaotic Antiquity, then the Middle Ancient period, then the Near Ancient period, up until the present.

Even the Middle Ancient period was millions of years away from the present.

”What does it say?”

Yuan Feng was too lazy to pay attention to Gui Li’s sarcasm and asked straightforwardly.

”It says: ’I, the Chongming Venerable, sensing my end is near, have spent my life’s energy to build this Chongming Immortal Cave, leaving all the resources I’ve collected in my life within.’”

”’If a fated person enters the Immortal Cave, they must go to the Chongming Realm to participate in the trials I’ve set, become a Dao Child or Dao Maiden of the Chongming Palace, and obtain the Chongming Token. Only then can they return to the Luotian Realm to inherit this Immortal Cave and receive my life’s Legacy.’”

”The old fellow also proudly noted that once the cave entrance is opened, the cave’s protection mechanism will activate automatically, pulling people onto the teleportation jade platform and sending them directly to the Chongming Realm. His Legacy isn’t that easy to take.”

Gui Li spat as she spoke, ”This old schemer, as expected of a Venerable from the Middle Ancient period. He’s quite insidious.”

”Chongming Realm?”

Yuan Feng frowned slightly, focusing his mind and reviving his Golden Nature to sense the hair on Chen Xianting.

”No reaction at all?!”

”Is it because of the cross-realm teleportation, or is the Chongming Realm so far from the Luotian Realm that I can’t sense it across such a vast distance with my current cultivation?”

Yuan Feng stopped sensing the hair; this time, things were a bit tricky.

The Universe was vast and boundless. Although a Golden Core True Monarch could destroy heavens and earth or sweep down the sun, moon, and stars, compared to the infinite cosmos, they were still just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

”Immortal, Immortal Lord, Dao Lord... I still have a long way to go and need to work even harder.”

Yuan Feng sighed softly.

”Stop sighing and strip the things in this Immortal Cave first.”

Gui Li urged.

Yuan Feng’s Divine Sense spread out like a tide in all directions, pocketing one precious Artifact Refining material after another.

After millions of years, only these Immortal Materials and divine metals could be preserved.

”This is the library. This old schemer Chongming was somewhat decent, specifically setting up a Nascent Soul Immortal array to protect the books inside.”

Gui Li arrived before a stone door. With a point of her delicate hand, the Gui Water Immortal Law shimmering with sea-blue light manifested, directly blasting the stone door open as she rushed in excitedly.

”F*ck, this old guy set up a decoy; there’s nothing inside.”

Gui Li walked out grumbling.

Yuan Feng walked in and saw that there was only a stone tablet in the library with a single sentence written on it.

For some reason, Yuan Feng could rarely understand the meaning written there.

”Hahaha, tricked by this old man, weren’t you? If you want my Legacy, go to the Chongming Realm trials honestly. Don’t think about taking shortcuts.”

Yuan Feng smiled and shook his head. This Chongming Venerable was like an old prankster.

”Judging by Chongming Venerable’s style, he doesn’t seem like a cruel or bloodthirsty person. Ting’er and the others being teleported there might be their Opportunity.”

Thinking this, Yuan Feng walked out of the library and checked other places.

The Medicinal Pills in the pill room had lost all their medicinal properties and spirituality after the long passage of time, turning into dust at a light touch.

However, it did leave Yuan Feng a High Grade Magic Treasure-level Pill Furnace.

Taking it back to Luoyun Mountain would likely give Great Master Feng Cong a huge surprise.

With the assistance of this High Grade Magic Treasure-level furnace, Great Master Feng Cong wouldn’t even need to achieve the Golden Core level to refine Golden Core-level Medicinal Pills.

Of course, the resources required to refine Golden Core-level pills were massive; an average Golden Core force would need to prepare for decades or even a century.

Besides the pill room, there was also a Spirit Medicine garden in the Chongming Immortal Cave. Ninety percent of the Spirit Medicines inside had withered, with only a few stalks still stubbornly alive.

”Tsk tsk, these few ancient medicines are extraordinary; they can be called Spiritual Roots. Taking them back to plant will be enough to upgrade the Chen family’s Spirit Medicine garden by several levels, greatly increasing the medicinal properties and even causing evolution.”

Gui Li’s eyes were dazzling, turning into the shape of copper coins as she looked at the ancient medicines as if she were looking at supreme Dao weapons.

Yuan Feng did not hesitate, using great magic power to cut out the entire Spirit Medicine garden and then tossing it into his Golden Core space for storage.

As soon as he returned to Luoyun Mountain, he would transplant these ancient medicines into the Chen family’s Spirit Medicine garden.

Meanwhile.

In the Sacred Fire Cult’s Forbidden Ground.

The beautiful female Cultivator bound by chains revealed a look of astonishment.

”Why can’t I sense Ting’er’s aura anymore? Has something happened?”

”No, Ting’er is no longer in Luo Tian; she has been teleported to another realm!”

Clang, clang.

The sound of the chains shaking violently echoed throughout the Forbidden Ground. The female Cultivator’s hysterical roar was like rolling thunder, shaking the heavens with a loud rumble.

”Chen Zhuxiao, you bastard, how are you looking after the child! When I get out, I’ll definitely beat you into a pig’s head!”

”Achoo!”

Far away in the northern border of Great Qi, Chen Zhuxiao suddenly sneezed, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart.

”What’s wrong, Ah Xiao?”

Confusion flashed in Mo Li’s eyes beside him.

”It’s nothing, probably just too tired lately.”

Chen Zhuxiao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said with a smile.

”Then should we continue?”

Mo Li looked at Chen Zhuxiao with a half-smile.

”Ha, Li’er is right.”

...In an unknown spatial tunnel.

Chen Xianting tightly gripped the hair Yuan Feng had given her. Beside her, Chen Xianling’s face was pale, and her body was swaying.

The shield protecting the two of them was being squeezed and deformed, as if a million great mountains were pressing down on it together. From the look of it, it seemed it wouldn’t last much longer.

Cross-realm teleportation, especially over such a vast distance, involved pressure that an average Purple Mansion True Person would find hard to withstand.

The Talismanic Incantation Chen Xianling had sacrificed contained the defensive Divine Ability of a Five Methods Purple Mansion, which could withstand even a planetary impact, but it was somewhat insufficient against the pressure of this cross-realm teleportation.

”Young ladies, this is an ultra-long-distance cross-realm teleportation. Only the protection of Golden Core-level power can ensure safety.”

At this moment, Hao Wujiu, who was enveloped by a Great Sun, spoke up.
