Chapter 4811: The Primordial Illusionary Seal

The surroundings blurred, and a Heaven-grade Immortal Ship appeared in a vast, boundless forest. Towering trees, thousands of feet tall, were everywhere, their branches and leaves so dense that sunlight was scarce.

Wang Changsheng and his companions flew out of the Immortal Ship, their expressions diverse.

"There are two Chaos Beasts that have opened up eight fundamental laws," Mo Yinyin said with a frown. "It would be troublesome if we encountered them alone."

If they had only opened up eight fundamental laws, it would be manageable, but they also possess top-grade Dao artifacts. Among the dozen or so Dao Ancestors present, only a handful possess such artifacts.

Now, a dilemma lay before them: how to search for treasures.

While staying together ensured safety, the treasures they would acquire would not be enough to share, and efficiency would be low. If they split up, treasure-hunting efficiency would increase, but their safety would decrease.

"For caution's sake, let's stay together!" said Dao Ancestor Tatian. "I sense that the Chaos Beasts have more experts than just these; others should be on their way."

Each time the Great Dao War occurred, the Chaos Beasts emerged victorious. After multiple such victories, it's unknown how many natural treasures they have accumulated. The number of Dao Ancestors among Chaos Beasts is no less than that of Immortals; they are merely scattered across various parts of the Immortal Realm, either collecting cultivation resources or guarding the Chaos Beast Progenitors.

Wang Changsheng and the others had no objections. Even if the Chaos Beasts had no reinforcements, they weren't confident they could eliminate just those two Chaos Beasts with eight fundamental laws in a one-on-one fight.

"Fairy Mo, have you been here before?" Cui Feng asked.

At his words, Wang Changsheng and the others all looked at Mo Yinyin.

Zhou Dian was one of the three great protectors of the Ancient Immortal Court, holding a very high position. Since this was a relic left by the Ancient Immortal Court, Mo Yinyin might know something.

Mo Yinyin shook her head and said, "The Ancient Immortal Court did leave behind relics, but they were all managed by designated personnel, and very few knew about them to prevent discovery by Chaos Beasts. If I had known, I would have come long ago to retrieve the cultivation resources here."

The dense forest began to shake violently, and trees moved rapidly. At the same time, a large number of leaves fell, transforming into green blades that flew directly towards Wang Changsheng and his companions.

Cang Leizi snorted coldly, chanted an incantation, and countless silver lightning bolts surged around him, striking outwards.

With a deafening roar, all the incoming green blades were blocked, and immense airwaves rolled out.

A large amount of green mist surged from the ground, and simultaneously, thick green vines shot out, lashing at them like whips.

Countless falling leaves rose with the wind, rapidly condensing into giant tree-men who quickly rushed towards them.

Dense green vines lashed out at Wang Changsheng. He summoned the Grand Vast Soul-Slaying Blade and effortlessly cut through them.

A tree-man lunged forward. Wang Changsheng swung his blade, cutting it in half. The tree-man's body disintegrated into a large quantity of green leaves, which, after blurring, transformed into green blades that slashed towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng wielded the Grand Vast Soul-Slaying Blade, blocking all the green blades as airwaves surged.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Wang Changsheng frowned deeply. Wang Ruyan and the others had vanished, and even with his divine sense fully extended, he found no abnormalities.

He took out a blue-glowing Immortal Transmission Mirror and cast an incantation into it, but the mirror showed no reaction. The results were the same when he used other communication artifacts.

This reminded him of the Grand Primordial Secret Realm; his initial entry there had been similar.

"Grand Primordial Illusion Array!" Wang Changsheng murmured, his brows furrowed.

This was one of the Ten Great Immortal Arrays, placed on the periphery of important locations to confuse intruders. In fact, Wang Ruyan and the others were right beside Wang Changsheng, all trapped in illusions. Only by leaving the array's coverage could they escape the illusion. This array was highly effective at dispersing the power of intruders.

He released Wang Tunian, whose eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light as he looked into the distance.

"Fifty million li ahead, there's a Divine Eastern Yi Wood!" Wang Tunian announced.

Wang Changsheng nodded, and he and Wang Tunian rushed forward.

Considering there were restrictions here, Wang Changsheng and Wang Tunian did not move quickly.

Along the way, they did not trigger any restrictions nor did they encounter any other creatures.

They stopped before a towering tree, which was indeed the Divine Eastern Yi Wood.

"It must be at least a billion years old!" Wang Tunian speculated.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Shen, took out formation flags and disks, and began setting up a formation to transplant the Divine Eastern Yi Wood.

A billion-year-old Divine Eastern Yi Wood could easily be used to set up a fifth-order Immortal Array or forge a Dao artifact.

In a vast, boundless wasteland, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Thick, nine-colored immortal lightning bolts struck down as a nine-colored Chaos Beast quickly fled, its body charred black and emitting a burnt smell.

It had not fled far when an exceptionally thick nine-colored immortal lightning bolt struck down, hitting its body, and the brilliant lightning enveloped the nine-colored Chaos Beast.

When the lightning dissipated, the nine-colored Chaos Beast fell, lifeless and motionless.

In a massive valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, there was a sprawling manor. Wang Yingjie stood beneath a Golden Dao-Condensing Fruit tree, from which hung over twenty Golden Dao-Condensing Fruits.

"Golden Dao-Condensing Fruits!" Wang Yingjie murmured to himself. "It will be much easier for other Dao Ancestors in the clan to condense their Dao foundations."

He carefully picked all the Golden Dao-Condensing Fruits and placed them into jade boxes.

He searched the manor once, found no major gains, and then departed.

Outside the relic site, a giant luminous gate floated conspicuously high in the sky.

A purple escape light flew from afar, moving very quickly.

Not long after, the purple escape light stopped and faded, revealing a purple-glowing flying boat with six Chaos Beasts and three Dao Ancestors standing upon it.

"So this is the relic left by the Ancient Immortal Court!" asked a ten-colored Chaos Beast with a spider's head and human body, its tone heavy.

Zhu, who had opened up eight fundamental laws, was a reinforcement for the Chaos Beasts.

"That's right, Lord Long and the others have already gone in, and Mo Yinyin and her companions have also entered," said a corpulent old man in purple robes.

Liu Yunshan was a mid-stage Dao Ancestor, a pseudo Dao Ancestor.

"Hmph, perfect. Let's capture them all in one fell swoop and eradicate them," Zhu said, his tone icy.

"Let's go in and search for treasures!" Liu Yunshan suggested. "Who knows, there might be top-grade Dao artifacts inside. If we guard here and they obtain them, they'll be difficult to deal with."

"Indeed!" another ten-colored Chaos Beast chimed in. "The relic site might not have just one exit. The people of the Ancient Immortal Court must have considered this situation; perhaps there are teleportation arrays to send treasure hunters away. We can go in, search for treasures, and kill them all if we encounter them."

Zhu nodded and said, "Then let's go in together! If we see them, kill them all, leave none alive. If this group of Immortals is killed, they will certainly suffer greatly."

"Lord Zhu is wise," Liu Yunshan flattered, his face full of obsequiousness.

He chanted an incantation, and the purple flying boat immediately shone brightly with purple light before flying into the luminous gate. The area returned to tranquility.
