Chapter 4783: Chaotic Beast Follows

A vast and boundless crimson mountain range stretched out, with numerous fiery clouds floating high above. Volcanic eruptions could be seen, and the air was thick with the pungent smell of sulfur.

Wang Qingshan strolled through a narrow, long valley, his brows tightly furrowed.

After they entered this place, five ten-colored Chaos Beasts appeared, and they had to fight them.

Wang Qingshan single-handedly dealt with an injured ten-colored Chaos Beast. When he finished, he couldn't find Wang Changsheng and the others. To make matters worse, the ten-colored Chaos Beast turned out to be an illusion.

Wang Qingshan stopped. He swung his right hand towards the ground, and a sharp green sword light swept out, striking the earth and creating a thick, long crack.

He extended his right hand into the crack, and a fist-sized crimson stone flew out, landing in his palm.

He held the crimson stone, examining it closely, noting specks of golden light in some areas.

"A Scarlet Flame Luan Gold Stone! A fifth-order immortal material!"

Wang Qingshan recognized the crimson stone. This material, when refined into fire-attribute Dao artifacts, could significantly enhance their power.

He placed the Scarlet Flame Luan Gold Stone into his storage bracelet and then took it out again.

"It's not an illusion! It's real! That's strange," Wang Qingshan mused, doubtfully.

The ten-colored Chaos Beast was an illusion, yet the fifth-order immortal material was real.

Wang Qingshan tried several times, putting the Scarlet Flame Luan Gold Stone into his storage bracelet and then retrieving it. He was indeed able to take it out, which wouldn't have been possible if it were an illusion, as illusions could be stored but not retrieved.

"What kind of place is this?! Where are Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt?" Wang Qingshan wondered with a frown.

He had tried many methods but couldn't find Wang Changsheng and the others.

"Perhaps if I find the control hub, everything will become clear," Wang Qingshan hypothesized.

He reasoned that the illusions were definitely not natural restrictions; they were most likely generated by a fifth-order immortal formation. Since such a formation hadn't been discovered for hundreds of millions of years, it must still be active.

He put away the Scarlet Flame Luan Gold Stone and walked forward.

The scene shifted to a vast, boundless glacier. Cold winds blew in gusts, the temperature was very low, and large amounts of white snowflakes drifted in the wind.

Wang Mengbin and Wang Yidao were attacking a giant white ape. The white ape bared its fangs, each hand gripping a white copper hammer, which it swung at Wang Mengbin and Wang Yidao.

Wang Mengbin swung his halberd, wreathed in lightning, which collided with one of the white copper hammers, producing a dull clang of metal on metal.

Wang Yidao swung a golden long saber, striking the other white copper hammer, which resulted in a muffled thud.

The white giant ape had opened up three Fundamental Laws but lacked a Supreme Fundamental Law, making it no match for Wang Mengbin and Wang Yidao.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they defeated the white giant ape. The ape was split in half by the halberd, its blood spilling onto the ground.

Wang Mengbin approached the corpse, placed it into his storage bracelet, but when he tried to retrieve it, the bracelet was empty.

"It's fake again! Even Dao Ancestor-level Chaos Beasts and demon beasts can be illusions," Wang Mengbin remarked, frowning.

Wang Yidao stood silently beside him.

"If we find the control center of this place, perhaps we can reunite with the ancestors. We just don't know where they are," Wang Mengbin said, walking forward, with Wang Yidao following.

A continuous expanse of verdant green mountains stretched out. Deep within the range, Wang Qingbai and Wang Qingfeng stood beneath a towering tree, at the base of which grew two emerald-green Ganoderma lucidum.

"A seven-hundred-million-year-old Azure Jade Ganoderma! This is the primary ingredient for refining Azure Jade Pills, and even consumed raw, its healing effects are excellent!" Wang Qingbai exclaimed excitedly.

"It's not an illusion, is it?" Wang Qingfeng asked, raising a doubt.

The Chaos Beasts they eliminated were illusions, so there was no guarantee that other things weren't fake.

Wang Qingbai carefully broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth.

"It's not fake, it's real!" Wang Qingbai said excitedly.

He conjured a green jade bottle and injected a magic incantation into it. The bottle emitted a stream of green light that enveloped the two Azure Jade Ganoderma. They slowly lifted from the soil and were swept by the green light into the green jade bottle.

"It's truly strange," Wang Qingfeng mused, "the immortal medicine is real, but the ten-colored Chaos Beasts are fake."

"I heard Cousin Haitang say that a mix of reality and illusion is most effective at making people drop their guard. Let's be careful," Wang Qingbai advised.

Wang Qingfeng nodded, and together with Wang Qingbai, they walked forward.

A boundless expanse of azure sea stretched out, with sea breezes blowing in gusts.

A golden streak of light flew from afar, flashed once, and came to a halt.

As the light receded, a colossal golden dragon appeared. It opened its gaping maw, and five streaks of light flew out, revealing four ten-colored Chaos Beasts and a graceful woman in a red dress. Xia and Wei were also among them.

"According to the intelligence passed on by Daoist Wu, it's right here," the woman in the red dress said.

"Strictly speaking, he is your cousin's reincarnation, merely residing in the Wu family. Wu Yuebin has been trapped here for hundreds of millions of years, so this place is very likely a relic left by the ancient immortal court or the ruins of an ancient major sect," said a ten-colored Chaos Beast with an ape head, human body, bird claws, and a snake tail.

"Tai makes a good point," said a ten-colored Chaos Beast with a bird head, human body, and bat wings. "The main force of the Wu family is on their way. We should get in as quickly as possible and obtain the treasures within. That way, the Wu family will have made a wasted trip, will surely suspect the Wang family of lying, and it will sow discord between them."

"Humph, we're only keeping the Wu family alive to find Zhou Dian; otherwise, we would have destroyed them long ago," Xia scoffed. "Unfortunately, it's not easy to live another life using a Reincarnation Stone. Otherwise, it would have been good to arrange some of our people within the Wang family."

"Even if one lives another life with a Reincarnation Stone, it's impossible to determine which race or faction one will be reincarnated into," Wei urged. "Alright, enough chatter. Let's open the entrance and go in as soon as possible!"

The woman in the red dress flicked her sleeve, and a red glowing orb flew out. She infused it with a magic incantation, causing the orb to burst forth with countless red rays of light. A certain point in the void, upon contact with the red light, became translucent and rippled.

"Luckily, we have your help, Cai Ling," Xia said.

"If it weren't for the Mid-grade Dao Artifact, the Formation Seeking Orb, bestowed by Lord Xia, I wouldn't have been able to find the entrance so quickly," Cai Ling replied respectfully.

"This treasure was obtained from the Multi-Eyed Race," Xia explained. "With this artifact, finding ancient immortal court relics and ruins is much easier. Quickly, open the entrance!"

Cai Ling nodded, her incantation shifting. The Formation Seeking Orb emitted a dazzling red light and slammed into a certain point in the void.

The void tore open, revealing a ten-foot-wide gap that rapidly expanded.

She conjured a small red mirror and infused it with a magic incantation. The red mirror emitted a stream of red light, covering the gap to prevent it from closing.

"Let's return to the immortal ship!" Cai Ling suggested. "We can go in together, and this way, we can avoid being separated."

She and the four Chaos Beasts flew into the golden dragon's mouth. The golden dragon swayed its head and tail, then flew into the gap, which subsequently closed.
