Chapter 4679: Red Fire Ape

Liu Qian stood in a narrow valley, surrounded by a continuous stretch of emerald green mountains, the ground beneath her feet covered in loose stones. Her plan was to use treasures to seal the dojo's entrance, preventing other Grand Immortals from entering so she could claim all treasures for herself. However, as soon as they entered, they were immediately separated by restrictions, rendering her plan useless.

Liu Qian held a glowing green orb in her hand. Injecting immortal power into it, the green orb immediately emitted a brilliant green light. When the Hunxie King's tribe sent a Chaos Army to attack Taibai Sword City, Liu Qian was ordered to provide support. During the battle, her primary spirit beast was killed by a Chaos Beast, significantly weakening her.

“Finally, I've found someone! I wonder where Madam Xu and Fellow Daoist Huo are,” Liu Qian muttered to herself, then flew southeast.

Not long after, she stopped above a vast, boundless green bamboo forest. Golden light burst from her right palm. She slapped it forward, and a giant golden palm, continuously swirling with light, flashed out and struck the bamboo forest below. The giant golden palm crushed many green bamboo stalks. At a certain point in the void, a yellow light appeared, revealing a short, plump man in a yellow robe. The yellow-robed man, a Mid-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, radiated immense demonic energy.

He tried to evade, but Liu Qian let out a loud shout. The yellow-robed man, dizzy and unable to stand, was struck by the golden palm, instantly transforming into a pile of flesh. A tiny mouse-like spirit flew out of his body, which Liu Qian swiftly caught, then performed a soul-searching technique on it.

“So many restrictions here!” Liu Qian said with a frown. The yellow-robed man had grown up here and knew about some places with powerful restrictions.

She took out a green beast hide, which had mountains and rivers drawn on it. This was a map given to her by the Qiankun Twins. “Hmph, they really did tamper with it,” Liu Qian snorted coldly and said with a frown. Her five fingers closed, and the tiny mouse disintegrated into specks of spiritual light. Many parts of the map given to her by the Qiankun Twins were incorrect. Fortunately, she hadn't completely trusted them.

Liu Qian transformed into a streak of light and left the area.

An old man in a green robe, short and plump, flew across a vast, desolate plain. The sky above was a dull gray, crackling with lightning and thunder as thick bolts of six-colored immortal lightning struck down. A small, glowing green umbrella floated above his head, casting a protective green light barrier over his entire body. The six-colored immortal lightning bolts successively struck the green light barrier, causing its spiritual light to dim. Green light burst from the old man's body as he flew into the distance. The descending six-colored immortal lightning became fewer and weaker in power. Not long after, he flew out of the wasteland, and several small cracks appeared on the surface of the green umbrella.

“Good thing I wasn't teleported to the deepest part, otherwise even with a top-grade defensive immortal artifact, I wouldn't have been able to escape,” the old man in green robes muttered to himself. He had followed Master Miaode into the dojo, but they had been separated by restrictions upon entering.

Suddenly, a powerful gravitational pull emanated from the ground as a strong gust of wind swept by. A beast-humanoid, ten-colored Chaos Beast, Yuan from the Gus King's tribe, appeared before him.

“A ten-colored Chaos Beast!” the old man in green robes exclaimed. With a swift incantation, the small green umbrella emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and the green light barrier became even thicker. Red magma surged from Yuan's right fist, embodying the Law of Lava. It punched out, striking the green light barrier, which instantly shattered like paper. Its fist smashed into the old man's body, instantly turning him into a mist of blood. A Nascent Soul, closely resembling the old man, flew out of his body. Before it could fly far, a golden sound wave swept over it, causing the Nascent Soul to disintegrate into specks of spiritual light.

A Grand Immortal thus perished.

Yuan picked up the green storage bracelet and the small green umbrella scattered on the ground. It muttered to itself, “I wonder how the other tribe members are doing. The restrictions here are quite powerful; this must be the Dojo of the Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor.” Yuan had personally led a team of twenty Grand Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts. Even the least powerful among them had evolved three times and mastered a supreme law, and there were also seven King Beasts that had evolved four times. The moment they entered the dojo, they were scattered by the restrictions.

Yuan gently flapped the wings on its back, flying into the distance and leaving the area.

A continuous range of crimson volcanoes, with periodic eruptions. Clusters of red clouds floated high above, and a deafening roar echoed, shaking the ground and sending up clouds of dust. Deep within the volcanic range, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and five others stood high in the sky. Wang Qingbai held a green jade bottle in his hand, a joyful expression on his face. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, being experienced in treasure hunting, directly used their Earth-grade Immortal Ship. This way, they avoided being separated by restrictions and appeared in the same location.

They were teleported to a volcanic region, where they discovered a Fourth-tier Immortal Flame. Wang Qingbai easily captured this immortal flame, intending to refine it with his own immortal flame to improve his success rate and efficiency in artifact crafting. Wang Qingbai was very pleased to have obtained a Fourth-tier Immortal Flame right after entering the dojo.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Tunian and had him wear the Myriad Spirits Mask. Wang Tunian changed his appearance, and his eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he looked into the distance.

“Thirty million li to the northwest, there are some Nine-Leaf Golden Blazing Grass. Eighty million li to the southeast, in a cave, there are three men whose cultivation levels are unknown,” Wang Tunian said.

“Three men? Could they be cultivators who entered this place earlier?” Wang Ruyan asked, puzzled.

“Unlikely. They are guarding some Five-Flame Flowers, so they are likely transformed demonic beasts,” Wang Tunian said.

“Let's go and see,” Wang Changsheng said.

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes to investigate, but found nothing unusual. They flew southeast. Not long after, they appeared above a steep, giant red peak, where a large cave was located halfway up the mountain.

“They are inside,” Wang Tunian said, pointing to the cave.

“Just Grand Unity Golden Immortals, nothing to fear.” Wang Qingbai's divine sense penetrated the cave, discovering the cultivation levels of the three men. He then leaped into the cave, and after a loud boom, silence returned.

Shortly after, Wang Qingbai emerged, accompanied by three identical men in red robes. These three men exuded strong demonic energy, clearly indicating they were demon cultivators.

“They have lived here since they first gained consciousness. Their true forms are Scarlet Fire Apes. They have already submitted to us and are willing to guide us,” Wang Qingbai said. The Wang family has ape guards of various types, including Thunder Apes, Fire Apes, Water Apes, and more.

“Where are the powerful restrictions? Are there any Grand Immortals?” Wang Changsheng asked.

“There is a Grand Immortal, very far from here. His strength is formidable; we didn't dare to approach him, only seeing him from afar,” one of the red-robed men said.

“Where did you get your clothes?” Wang Changsheng pressed on.

“We found a storage bracelet on the remains of a cultivator. That's how we learned basic cultivation knowledge and got some clothes,” the red-robed man said.

“From now on, the three of you will be called Wang Da, Wang Er, and Wang San. Now, lead us to that Grand Immortal's lair,” Wang Changsheng ordered.

“Yes, Senior,” Wang Da readily agreed and led the way.
