Chapter 4687: Legacy of the Tao Ancestor

If Wang Changsheng hadn't used the Dao technique 'Karmic Fist' to sever the karmic threads of the white-shirted man who possessed this treasure, Wang Changsheng would not have been able to kill him so easily.

The red-robed elder realized something was wrong. Red light burst forth from his body, and a large amount of scarlet magma surged from the ground. The magma churned and surged, transforming into more than ten scarlet fire dragons that lunged towards Wang Changsheng and his group. This was the Rongqiao Art.

Wang Mengbin swung his Fangtian Halberd, shattering the more than ten scarlet fire dragons. Sparks flew everywhere, and huge craters appeared on the ground.

The Fangtian Halberd slashed towards the red-robed elder. The red-robed elder quickly released a golden halo to meet it, and at the same time, conjured a long saber glowing with continuous red light.

The golden halo collided with the Fangtian Halberd, stopping it mid-air. The red-robed elder had also mastered the Rongqiao Art; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block it.

The Fangtian Halberd then collided with the red long saber, emitting a dull clang of metal on metal. Sparks flew everywhere.

A giant blue palm, covered with mysterious musical notes, appeared instantly and slapped towards the red-robed elder. The red-robed elder released a golden halo to meet the blue giant palm. This was the fusion of ten laws.

The blue giant palm collided with the golden halo, causing numerous cracks to appear in the latter.

Although both used the Rongqiao Art and both mastered Supreme Laws, Wang Ruyan, however, had mastered two Supreme Laws.

The golden halo shattered inch by inch, and the blue giant palm struck the red-robed elder. The red-robed elder was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood. His face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with horror.

Wang Mengbin swung his Fangtian Halberd, slashing towards the red-robed elder.

The red-robed elder tried to dodge, but a powerful spatial force emerged instantly, imprisoning him in place.

The Fangtian Halberd struck his body, and his body, like tofu, was cut in half by the Fangtian Halberd.

On the other side, Immortal Kunyue was also killed by Wang Qingshan, who activated the Nine Swords of Immortal Slaying. Her nascent soul remained.

A giant blue-glowing tower appeared instantly, collecting both nascent souls.

Wang Qingbai retrieved two storage bracelets from the Twin Immortals of Sun and Moon. With a flick of his wrist, a flash of light passed, and a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

There were over thirty top-grade immortal essence stones, more than ten nine-colored crystal cores, and materials for artifact refining, alchemy, and talisman crafting, along with dozens of jade slips.

They carefully examined the contents of the jade slips, finding that most of them detailed the travels of the Twin Immortals of Sun and Moon in other immortal realms.

"The Qiankun Xuanqiao Immortal Scripture!" Wang Changsheng held a green jade slip, a thoughtful expression on his face.

This was a secret technique for opening ten spiritual apertures. Unlike the 'Profound Infant Aperture Opening Grand Method,' this aperture opening technique required opening ten apertures to master the Rongqiao Art. This was similar to chaotic beasts, as only ten-colored chaotic beasts could master the Rongqiao Art.

Wang Changsheng had also discussed ten-aperture secret techniques with Long Xiang. According to them, one needed to open ten apertures to master the Rongqiao Art. The 'Profound Infant Aperture Opening Grand Method' was different; one could master the Rongqiao Art by cultivating into a true spirit. This made the 'Profound Infant Aperture Opening Grand Method' much more powerful than other ten-aperture techniques.

"Now we have a second ten-aperture secret technique," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

"First, let's get our hands on the immortal fruit. That's the most important thing," Wang Changsheng said.

Immortal Kunyue's storage bracelet also contained considerable wealth. The most precious item was a top-grade immortal artifact imbued with a Primal Chaos Spirit Treasure, along with some nine-colored crystal cores and various materials.

They collected the valuables from their enemies and burned the bodies.

"You all stay here and support me," Wang Changsheng instructed. He then strode towards the mountain, but at the halfway point, mist blocked his path. Wang Changsheng walked into the mist.

A series of rumbling explosions resounded, and the entire peak shook violently. After a short while, the mist dispersed, revealing a vast bluestone plaza on the mountaintop. In front of the plaza stood a magnificent palace with "Immortal Slaying Palace" inscribed on its plaque.

The palace gates of the Immortal Slaying Palace opened, revealing a spacious and brightly lit main hall. On both the left and right sides, there were bluestone corridors. Wang Changsheng emerged from the Immortal Slaying Palace and said, "Come up!"

Wang Ruyan and the others quickly ascended the mountain, following Wang Changsheng into the Immortal Slaying Palace.

They walked down the bluestone corridor on the left-hand side. Soon, they reached the end, where four stone chambers came into view. The door of one stone chamber was open, while the doors of the other three were tightly shut. The closed doors were covered with mysterious array patterns, emitting strong restrictive fluctuations.

"Haitang, this is up to you," Wang Changsheng said.

Ye Haitang nodded, took out her array flags and array disk, and began to break the restrictions.

With her current array-laying skill, and considering the arrays had been operating for many years, their power was greatly diminished. They simply could not stop Ye Haitang.

After opening the door to the second stone chamber, a chamber over a hundred feet wide came into view. In the lower-left corner was a green stone shelf, on which were placed more than twenty storage bracelets of various colors.

Wang Changsheng released a black halo, sweeping it across the entire stone chamber. Finding no anomalies, he then picked up a green storage bracelet. With a sweep of his divine sense, a joyful expression appeared on his face.

This storage bracelet contained many artifact refining materials, all of which were for crafting top-grade immortal artifacts. The life-bound immortal artifacts of Wang Qingshan, Wang Yingjie, Ye Haitang, and others could now be upgraded to top-grade immortal artifacts.

They examined more than twenty storage bracelets, which were filled with various cultivation resources: artifact refining materials, array-laying materials, talisman crafting materials, immortal herbs and fruits, cultivation manuals, immortal essence stones, chaotic beast crystal cores, and more. The sheer quantity was enough to sustain the operation of a super sect. These items had been accumulated by the Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor over many years.

The Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor had surely made contingency plans, but unfortunately, something went wrong with them, benefiting Wang Changsheng.

To Wang Changsheng's delight, there were twenty-five pieces of fifth-grade immortal materials among them. These could be refined into top-grade immortal artifacts to enhance their power. Fifth-grade immortal materials could also be used to craft Dao artifacts, but that required a much larger quantity of them; twenty-five pieces were far from enough.

Furthermore, there were insights from the Immortal Slaying Dao Ancestor's attempt to reach the Dao Ancestor realm, and even a playback crystal recording his attempt.

They put away the more than twenty storage bracelets and walked out. Ye Haitang then broke the restrictions of the third stone chamber and opened its door. A large tree shimmering with golden light came into view, and on the tree hung two oval-shaped golden fruits.

"Dao Seeking Jade Sandalwood Fruit!" Wang Ruyan exclaimed excitedly.

The Dao Seeking Jade Sandalwood Fruit could assist Grand Luo Golden Immortals in their attempt to reach the Dao Ancestor realm. It had a growth cycle of three hundred million years but yielded only a small number of fruits each time, making it extremely precious.

Wang Qingbai and Wang Qingshan each took out a green jade box and a small golden hammer. They used the small golden hammers to strike the fruit stems. The stems broke, and the fruits fell into the jade boxes. They closed the lids and each affixed several talismans to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating.

They handed the jade boxes to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. As there were only two Dao Seeking Jade Sandalwood Fruits, it was natural that they would be given to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

They set up arrays and carefully transplanted the Dao Seeking Jade Sandalwood Fruit tree. The entire process was conducted with extreme caution.
