Chapter 4680: Thousand Grass Hall (Not Available Today)

A vast expanse of rolling white mountains stretched out, where snowflakes danced and a biting wind blew.

A streak of light flew swiftly from a distance.

A loud beast roar echoed, and a golden sound wave swept forth.

The light dissipated, revealing the figure of Fairy Qianyu.

They had been dispersed by the restrictions. Fairy Qianyu found herself in a heavily restricted area and was immediately annihilated by the powerful barriers. Fortunately, during her early days challenging the Qiankun Pagoda, she had defeated a lower-ranked prodigy, earning a chance at resurrection. She could choose to resurrect anywhere in the Immortal Realm, though not within the treasuries of major powers. Decisively, she chose to revive within the Dao Field itself.

Blinding white light erupted from Fairy Qianyu's right hand. She struck out with her palm, and a giant, shimmering white palm flashed forth, colliding with the golden sound wave.

The white giant palm instantly disintegrated, and the golden sound wave surged directly towards Fairy Qianyu. Numerous cracks appeared in the void, her ears buzzed, and she felt dizzy. She quickly summoned five shimmering golden flying daggers, which instantly merged into a single, ten-foot-long golden greatblade, shattering the golden sound wave.

A blur of motion passed, and a giant, humanoid nine-colored Chaos Beast appeared, wielding a long black saber.

The golden greatblade slashed towards the nine-colored Chaos Beast. The Chaos Beast swung its saber to meet the attack. The two weapons collided with a dull clang of metal, and the golden greatblade flew backward, separating back into five shimmering golden flying daggers.

"How is this possible! A King Beast." Fairy Qianyu exclaimed in surprise. Her set of treasures was a high-grade immortal artifact, refined with Primordial Spirit Treasures. It should be impossible for a mid-stage Grand Unity Chaos Beast to overwhelm it in a single exchange, unless the opponent was a King Beast.

The Qiankun Twin Beauties possessed great strength, largely due to a combined attack technique they had acquired early on. Separated, their individual strengths were considerably diminished. When she challenged the Qiankun Pagoda back then, she had only faced lower-ranked prodigies. She would have confidence in dealing with a thrice-mutated Grand Unity Chaos Beast, but she was no match for a quadruple-mutated one.

The nine-colored Chaos Beast swung its black saber towards Fairy Qianyu. Before the saber even descended, the void tore open, revealing a massive rift. Fairy Qianyu attempted to evade, but a powerful spatial force surged forth, immobilizing her.

"Stop! Spare my life, and I'll lead you to treasures. I have a map." Fairy Qianyu said, her voice filled with panic. Not only had her opponent mutated four times, but it also wielded spatial laws. With that, her chances of victory were zero.

The black saber halted. The nine-colored Chaos Beast spoke, "Is this the Dao Field of the Immortal Slayer Dao Ancestor?"

"It should be. I can lead you to treasures. With me, treasure hunting will be much easier." Fairy Qianyu replied.

"Then lead the way! You had better not play any tricks, or you'll face the consequences." The nine-colored Chaos Beast's tone was icy.

Fairy Qianyu gave a bitter smile and said, "How could I dare?"

"Hmph, I hope you don't dare. If I find you playing tricks, I won't be lenient. My name is Gen. Lead the way! Take me to the Immortal Slayer Dao Ancestor's inheritance ground." The nine-colored Chaos Beast commanded.

"I don't know where the inheritance ground is. I only know of some areas with restrictions and some with immortal herb gardens. Here's the map; every word I've said is true." Fairy Qianyu took out a piece of green beast hide and said.

"Hmph, you humans are the most cunning. First, take me to this place, and we'll try each one. If I find even a single lie in your words, I will directly eliminate you." Gen's tone was cold.

Fairy Qianyu nodded and honestly led the way.

Since Gen controlled spatial laws, he wasn't worried about Fairy Qianyu escaping.

And so, Fairy Qianyu led Gen away from that place.

***

An immense, verdant mountain range stretched endlessly. A wave of Buddhist chants emanated from deep within the mountains, shaking the ground and sending dust swirling.

Deep in the mountains, a beast-humanoid nine-colored Chaos Beast lay on the ground, its head shattered and blood pooling around it.

Master Miaode stood not far away, covered in dust and grime, holding a monk's staff that continuously glowed with Buddhist light.

Upon entering the Dao Field, he had appeared directly near a nascent Grand Unity nine-colored Chaos Beast. This particular Chaos Beast wielded soul laws. Fortunately, he had crafted a fourth-tier immortal talisman that weakened soul attacks, and with the addition of a top-grade immortal artifact refined with Primordial Spirit Treasures, he was able to slay this nine-colored Chaos Beast.

"Chaos Beasts have entered too. This complicates things!" Master Miaode muttered to himself, collected the Chaos Beast's corpse, and left the area.

***

A towering, steeply sloped peak rose into the sky. At its foot stood a golden stone tablet over ten feet tall, on which two characters were faintly discernible, though the upper half of the tablet was damaged. The area above the mountainside was shrouded in a white mist.

Wang Changsheng and his eight companions stood at the foot of the mountain, their expressions solemn.

"My Lord, this is the place. The restrictions are exceptionally powerful; I couldn't even reach the summit. There's a manor at the top." A graceful maiden in a golden dress spoke, her demeanor respectful, exuding a powerful demonic aura.

This was Wang Luan, whose true form was a four-winged Luan bird at the Grand Unity stage. She had grown up here, only managing to cultivate to Grand Unity with great difficulty. She had once acquired the remains of an ancient cultivator, gaining basic knowledge of cultivation. Wang Da had led Wang Changsheng and the others to find Wang Luan. Wang Qingbai defeated Wang Luan in a single move, and she subsequently pledged her obedience.

Wang TunTian's eyes glowed with a dazzling yellow light. He frowned and said, "The restrictions are too strong; I can't see what's on the mountain."

Wang Ruyan activated her Li Fire True Eyes, but the result was the same.

"I'll give it a try!" Wang Mengbin volunteered.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Be careful."

"This should be an immortal herb garden. There shouldn't be any major problems." Wang Mengbin said, striding towards the mountain.

After only a few steps, he felt a powerful gravitational pull, but its effect on him was minimal. Wang Mengbin continued his ascent with quick strides.

Wang Ruyan and the others remained at the foot of the mountain, ready to provide support at any moment.

Before long, Wang Mengbin entered the white mist, and a series of loud explosions rang out, causing the entire peak to shake slightly. In less than fifteen minutes, the white mist dispersed, clearly revealing a sprawling manor at the summit. Wang Mengbin flew down from the top, smiling as he said, "Ancestor, I've already deactivated the formation. This is indeed an immortal herb garden, though most of the immortal herbs have withered away. I did find a Thunder Epiphyllum Immortal Fruit tree and have already harvested its fruits."

Wang Changsheng fully extended his divine sense, repeatedly scanning the entire peak. Finding no anomalies, they then ascended the mountain.

They arrived at the entrance of a resplendent golden palace. Three large golden characters, "Thousand Herb Hall," were inscribed on its plaque, and the main doors stood open.

They walked inside, reaching a bluestone corridor from which four stone chambers were visible. The door to one chamber was open, revealing a hundred-foot-wide formation within. Wang Mengbin had already removed all the immortal essence stones from this formation. The doors to the remaining three stone chambers were tightly shut, their surfaces covered with enigmatic runes that emitted strong restrictive fluctuations.
