Chapter 4749: Ancient Immortal Court

“Ninth Uncle, what brings you here?” Wang Qingshan was a bit surprised to see Wang Changsheng.

“How can you say that? You didn’t even leave a backup plan when searching for the Thunder-Restraining Wood. No one knew you were trapped here. Yixin and the others sent people everywhere looking for you. I knew you had been missing for millions of years, so I personally led a team to find you. Fortunately, you’re all right.” Wang Changsheng said slowly.

“We were going to send a message to our clansmen before returning to investigate, but Senior Jian Er directly confined us to the island,” Wang Qingshan explained. He bowed to Jian Er and said, “Thank you, fellow Daoist, for bestowing this treasure upon me and helping me advance to Dao Ancestor.”

“Thanks? If you hadn’t achieved enlightenment through the Law of the Sword, I would have simply destroyed you. My inheritance is only for those I deem worthy. There are three thousand laws, and the Supreme Law isn’t necessarily the best. Your own Dao is what’s best. In a broad sense, Dao encompasses all laws; from a personal perspective, Dao is your original heart. Whatever Dao you pursue, that is what Dao is. Laws are merely external manifestations.” Jian Er said.

“Many thanks, fellow Daoist Jian Er, for enlightening me! What can I do for you?” Wang Qingshan said gratefully.

Jian Er reached out into the empty space above the island, and a silver storage bracelet flew out, landing in his hand. He said, “You don’t need to do anything. I simply don’t want my legacy to fall into the hands of an ordinary person. These items are yours, including a few low-grade Dao artifacts and my cultivation insights. That’s all there is. Take care of yourself! The Great Dao War won’t be long from now; improve your strength as much as possible.”

After saying this, Jian Er transformed into specks of spiritual light and vanished. “Farewell, fellow Daoist Jian Er.” Wang Qingshan bowed respectfully. “Have a good journey, Senior.” Bai Linger bowed respectfully.

Wang Qingshan’s divine sense entered the storage bracelet, and he gasped. Inside, there were over four thousand Tier-5 immortal materials and five low-grade Dao artifacts, all of which were offensive.

“Ninth Uncle, with these items, establishing a second origin law won’t be difficult for you.” Wang Qingshan handed the storage bracelet to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng’s divine sense swept over them, and he exclaimed in surprise, “So many Tier-5 immortal materials! Enough for me to refine more than a dozen Dao artifacts.” There were many defensive Tier-5 immortal materials that Wang Changsheng could use to refine defensive Dao artifacts. He had just discussed this with Jian Er: if one cultivates a Dao Body, opening a second origin law doesn’t strictly require defensive Dao artifacts, but it’s even better to have them.

“And that Thunder-Restraining Wood, if refined into formation flags, will definitely have excellent tribulation-crossing effects.” Bai Linger pointed to the towering tree in the center of the giant island.

Wang Changsheng formed a hand seal, and the green lotus platform burst forth with dazzling green light, flying towards the center of the island. Upon reaching the island’s center, Wang Changsheng saw a Thunder-Restraining Wood tree. If there were a Tier-5 immortal formation master, they could set up a complete Tier-5 grand formation using this Thunder-Restraining Wood as the main formation eye.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and tens of thousands of green, glittering formation flags flew out, floating in mid-air. He formed a hand seal, and these green formation flags simultaneously lit up with dazzling green light, scattering in all directions and sinking into the ground.

Wang Changsheng conjured a green, shimmering gourd and infused it with a hand seal. The green gourd immediately burst forth with dazzling green light, enveloping the Thunder-Restraining Wood. Wang Tun Tian and the others all took action, cooperating with Wang Changsheng to transplant the Thunder-Restraining Wood.

After transplanting the Thunder-Restraining Wood, they thoroughly searched the island to ensure nothing was overlooked before leaving.

In Chaos Continent, Ancestral Dragon City, a quiet manor.

A gracefully proportioned woman in a golden dress was speaking with Ancestral Dragon. Ancestral Dragon’s face was pale, and his aura was weak. The woman in the golden dress had some naturally formed golden spirit patterns on her body, and a vertical eye on her forehead. Her aura was as vast as the ocean. Ancestral Dragon’s soul had been injured and had not yet fully recovered.

“This is a Tier-5 immortal pill, the Seven-Colored Soul-Nourishing Pill. It will be very helpful for your current injuries. Take it and heal yourself!” The woman in the golden dress took out a golden porcelain bottle and handed it to Ancestral Dragon.

“Many thanks, Lady Jin.” Ancestral Dragon said gratefully.

“If I hadn’t been busy searching for the Ancient Immortal Court ruins, you wouldn’t have ended up in this state,” the woman in the golden dress said.

“Fortunately, the Azure Lotus Immortals have advanced to Dao Ancestor; otherwise, this battle would have been dire,” Ancestral Dragon said.

“Their advancement to Dao Ancestor is certainly good, but even without them, it’s not certain that the Chaos Beasts could have destroyed you. Do you really think we have no powerful cultivators in the Chaos Continent?” the woman in the golden dress said. Jin Yun, a middle-stage Dao Ancestor, had opened four origin laws and was a hidden power of the immortals.

“So, the Chaos Beasts also have powerful cultivators in the Chaos Continent?” Ancestral Dragon asked in confusion.

“Certainly, but they are all in deep slumber, their origins severely damaged, making recovery not so easy. Before every Great Dao War, the powerful cultivators on both sides either hide or enter slumber, not easily making a move. If I were to act against the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda, it would very likely trigger a new Great Dao War.” Jin Yun’s expression was solemn.

“So many years have passed, Lady Jin, and you still haven’t found the Ancient Immortal Court ruins?” Ancestral Dragon asked in confusion.

“It’s not that easy. I’m searching, and the Chaos Beasts are also searching. It just depends on who finds it first.” Jin Yun’s face showed a look of longing.

“Speaking of which, the Dao artifact in Fellow Daoist Wang’s possession can devour other Dao artifacts and rare treasures. Could he be the reincarnation of Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan?” Ancestral Dragon said curiously.

“You’re overthinking it. If he were truly the reincarnation of Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, he wouldn’t be so high-profile. Many powerful cultivators who are reborn avoid showing themselves, waiting for the Great Dao War to erupt. Perhaps his Dao artifact was formed from fragments of Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan’s natal Dao artifact. That Dao artifact devouring one sub-pagoda is nothing; once the Great Dao War is lost, the Ten Directions Mother-Child Pagoda can devour a large number of rare treasures and give birth to another sub-pagoda. As long as the mother pagoda is not destroyed, even if all sub-pagodas are scrapped, the mother pagoda can still give birth to new ones.” Jin Yun said.

In the Chaos Era, countless powerful cultivators existed, but very few Dao Ancestors were reborn. Most of them remained hidden, rarely showing themselves to avoid being targeted by the Chaos Beasts.

She thought of something and said, “Your strength is considerable. By establishing two origin laws, and then a third, your power will become even greater. It’s a pity you haven’t comprehended a Supreme Law; otherwise, establishing a supreme origin law would significantly boost your strength.”

The origin laws established by Dao Ancestors are all laws they have comprehended themselves. If one only masters nine laws and advances to Dao Ancestor, they can at most establish nine origin laws. The number of origin laws is crucial. At the same realm, when solely comparing the power of origin laws, a Dao Ancestor with one supreme origin law is stronger.

“We can only place our hopes on Long Shuo. That young man has already advanced to Dao Ancestor,” Ancestral Dragon said.

Long Shuo had already advanced to Dao Ancestor, and a new Dao Ancestor had also appeared in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

“By the way, Lady Jin, are you able to contact the powerful cultivators of our True Dragon Clan?” Ancestral Dragon asked.

“He was the one who entrusted me to come here. As for his current whereabouts, I’m not sure. He won’t easily show himself. If the Chaos Beasts knew the whereabouts of those slumbering powerful cultivators, they would immediately go there and kill them. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay long. Pay attention to the Ancient Immortal Court ruins; anyone can obtain it, but it must not fall into the hands of the Chaos Beasts.” Jin Yun stood up to bid farewell.

Ancestral Dragon agreed and stood up to see her off.

After seeing Jin Yun off, Ancestral Dragon looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and murmured to himself, “Ancient Immortal Court ruins!”
