Chapter 4649: Third Divine Artifact Fragment

More than an hour later, Wang Qiulin emerged from the side courtyard, looking grim.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, what's the result? Were you able to deduce it?" Immortal Monarch Ice Soul asked.

"Someone used a special treasure, a secret talisman, or a formation to conceal it, so I couldn't deduce anything," Wang Qiulin said.

"Even you couldn't deduce it?" Immortal Monarch Ice Soul was a little surprised, as Wang Qiulin was a Grand Immortal.

"The art of divination is not invincible; it has its counterparts. Special treasures, secret talismans, or formations can obscure things, and there's nothing I can do," Wang Qiulin said.

"If you had the assistance of high-level divination immortal artifacts or special immortal formations, would you be able to deduce it then?" Immortal Monarch Ice Soul asked.

"It's hard to say, but most likely not. The opponent's concealment method is quite formidable, and I couldn't do anything about it. It could be a top-grade immortal artifact refined with a Primordial Spirit Treasure, or a special Level 4 immortal talisman or formation. I tried several times, but all ended in failure; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken so long to come out," Wang Qiulin said.

"Alright. I apologize for disturbing you, Fellow Daoist Wang." Immortal Monarch Ice Soul's face was filled with regret.

"No disturbance at all, I'm just doing what I'm paid for. You can investigate this angle: high-level immortals who possess such treasures, immortal formations, or secret talismans are primary suspects," Wang Qiulin suggested.

This was what Wang Changsheng had instructed him to say. Given the vastness of the Immortal Realm, there were bound to be special treasures, immortal formations, and secret talismans that countered divination. This strategy would expand the search scope, increase its difficulty, and also deplete the resources of the North Cold Immortal Palace.

"Thank you very much. If you have time another day, please visit our North Cold Immortal Palace." Immortal Monarch Ice Soul expressed his gratitude and extended an invitation.

"Certainly," Wang Qiulin agreed.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you further. Farewell." Immortal Monarch Ice Soul stood up and bid farewell.

Wang Qiulin personally saw Immortal Monarch Ice Soul off, then went to Qinglian Peak and reported directly to Wang Changsheng.

"He only wanted to deduce Leixiao's whereabouts?" Wang Changsheng asked.

Wang Ruyan had interrogated Leixiao's nascent soul using the Phantom Sound Pipa. Leixiao had entered the Immortal Chaos Tomb with a fellow disciple to seek treasures. Logically, shouldn't Immortal Monarch Ice Soul have been trying to deduce the whereabouts of both of them? It seemed the other person had either died or left the Immortal Chaos Tomb alive.

"Yes," Wang Qiulin nodded.

"You may return to your cultivation. If people from the North Cold Immortal Palace come again, you can charge them a bit more," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Grandfather, can you refine a Primordial Spirit Treasure into my innate immortal artifact?" Wang Qiulin took out a Primordial Spirit Treasure and his innate immortal artifact, the Nine Palace Wheel, and handed them to Wang Changsheng.

The Law of Destiny is not only for divination but also for combat.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "It's a small matter."

After a brief chat, Wang Qiulin withdrew.

Wang Changsheng entered a secret chamber, took out refining materials, and helped Wang Qiulin upgrade his innate immortal artifact.

In Kunlun Immortal City, at Yanlou Lou.

In a secret chamber, Immortal Fairy Tianchen sat cross-legged on a golden prayer mat, holding a shimmering golden immortal transmission mirror. Immortal Monarch Ice Soul's face was visible on the mirror's surface.

"Immortal Fairy Shen, is Immortal Monarch Nine Palace's deduction truly accurate?" Immortal Monarch Ice Soul asked with a frown.

"Of course, otherwise, why would I have introduced you? I've sought his help myself. Now that he has advanced to the Grand Immortal stage, his divination and deduction abilities must be even stronger," Immortal Fairy Tianchen said.

"I asked him to deduce the whereabouts of a Grand Immortal named Leixiao, and he said it was concealed and he couldn't deduce it," Immortal Monarch Ice Soul said with a frown. He had spent a fortune only to get this result.

"If he says so, then it's the truth. If you don't believe him, you can find other diviners, but there aren't many Grand Immortal-level diviners," Immortal Fairy Tianchen said.

"Never mind. He's a descendant of the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, so his deductions should be correct. By the way, I want to ask you about Grand Immortals who master the Law of Karma. Grand Immortals with high-level karma immortal artifacts would also work," Immortal Monarch Ice Soul said.

"Heh heh, asking for my help won't be cheap," Immortal Fairy Tianchen said meaningfully.

"As long as the information is accurate, I will compensate you well. I also want to know which Grand Immortals have been to the Immortal Chaos Tomb within the last million years," Immortal Monarch Ice Soul added.

"I'll send someone to investigate first. As soon as I have news, I'll inform you immediately," Immortal Fairy Tianchen said.

"Alright! That's it then!" Immortal Monarch Ice Soul agreed and cut off the connection.

Immortal Fairy Tianchen took out a shimmering golden magic plate, struck a spell into it, and made a series of gestures.

Ten thousand years quickly passed. At Qinglian Peak, Qinglian City.

Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on a blue prayer mat, his eyes slightly closed. The Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron was not far away.

After a while, a sound-transmitting paper crane flew in, circling continuously above his head.

Wang Changsheng opened his eyes, struck a spell into the paper crane, and the paper crane spoke in a human voice: "Master, the people sent to the Southern Heaven Continent Cluster have returned. They've found that item."

Wang Changsheng put away the Azure Lotus Creation Cauldron, stood up and walked out. He had previously helped upgrade the Nine Palace Wheel to a top-grade immortal artifact.

He went outside and saw Wang Yixin and Wang Tunian conversing.

"Where is the item?" Wang Changsheng asked.

If it were the entire treasure, it would be easier to find; the difficulty of locating a single fragment was exceptionally high.

Wang Yixin took out a cyan jade piece and handed it to Wang Changsheng.

"That's right, it's a Dao artifact fragment," Qing Xuan's excited voice rang in Wang Changsheng's ear.

"Heavily reward the clan members who participated in finding this fragment," Wang Changsheng instructed, his face showing delight.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yixin agreed and left to carry out the order.

"To find a fragment so quickly! Excellent!" Wang Ruyan's voice rang out. She walked out of the pavilion, a smile on her face.

Wang Ruyan had used the Seven Star Talisman Brush to refine a Grand Immortal-level talisman soldier, succeeding only after one failure and consuming many rare materials.

"It's all due to the Ancestor's immense blessings; otherwise, we wouldn't have found it so quickly," Wang Yixin said.

Wang Changsheng nodded, dismissed Wang Yixin, and Wang Tunian also withdrew.

Wang Changsheng briefly told Wang Ruyan the locations of the three fragments. Wang Ruyan then asked, "Should we go look for the fragments now?"

If they went to the Heavenly Craft Immortal Domain, they wouldn't be able to return quickly.

"I've made all the arrangements to ensure everything is foolproof." Wang Changsheng's face was full of confidence. He called Wang Qingfeng, and the three of them entered a secret chamber.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the Ruyi Gate flew out, landing on the ground. He struck a spell into it, and the Ruyi Gate immediately burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, growing considerably larger.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan changed their appearances and walked into the Ruyi Gate. The surroundings became blurry before their eyes, and they reappeared above a range of undulating emerald mountains.

"Where is this place?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.

"The Xuanyi Continent in the Heavenly Craft Immortal Domain!" Wang Changsheng said.

Over the years, he had frequently used the Ruyi Gate to teleport to other Immortal Domains and had already mastered its use. Whichever Immortal Domain they wished to visit, they could directly teleport there using the Ruyi Gate, and it was also convenient to return quickly.
