CHAPTER 715: IMMORTAL STONE

Wang Hong moved forward slowly, noticing that the further he went, the denser the Spirit Qi became. Especially the faint immortal aura he had sensed before became increasingly apparent.

Moreover, various high-tier Spiritual Herbs appeared more densely, adding over a dozen more types of high-tier Spiritual Herbs to his space.

At this moment, a slight flicker crossed his brow, and a pleased expression spread across his face.

Fifty miles to the left, there was a Spirit Herb over five inches tall, more accurately, it should be celestial grass.

Though he didn't recognize its species, Wang Hong judged from the aura emanating from this five-inch grass that it was undoubtedly celestial grass.

Regardless, he decided to dig it up first and study it slowly later.

He carefully probed the surroundings with his Divine Sense again, but found no one else present.

With a thought, a Puppet appeared next to the celestial grass.

However, as soon as this Puppet appeared, its body was immediately cut into several pieces by spatial rifts, scattering on the ground.

"It seems I need to send some cannon fodder to investigate the spatial rifts." Wang Hong thought to himself, releasing countless Spirit Bees.

As soon as these Spirit Bees appeared around the celestial grass, most of them died quickly, and the deaths of the Spirit Bees continued.

From the death of the Spirit Bees, it could be inferred that spatial rifts surrounded the celestial grass.

The density of these rifts was even denser than what he had seen around the immortal fruit tree before.

With such density, Cultivators simply couldn't approach. This was probably the reason why this celestial grass could survive until now.

Based on his exploration and treasure-hunting experience these days, he deduced a rule.

Wherever there were rare treasures, there would definitely be a large number of spatial rifts, and the preciousness of the treasure was directly proportional to the density of the spatial rifts.

It's not that spatial rifts actively protect these treasures, but rather the result of years of exploitation and human selection.

Only those Spiritual Herbs surrounded by fewer spatial rifts, easy to harvest, would have been picked early.

Only when some treasures were surrounded by spatial rifts could they survive until now.

This celestial grass was definitely not the first discovery by Wang Hong, but the surrounding spatial rifts were too numerous to approach.

Everyone who saw it could only retreat.

It was only because of luck that this celestial grass encountered Wang Hong today. Otherwise, it would have continued to grow here quietly, eventually aging and dying.

Wang Hong's exploration Spirit Bees quickly dwindled, leaving only a few.

However, he already had an understanding of the distribution of spatial rifts around the celestial grass.

With the density of spatial rifts, none of his Puppets could stand, and sending them out would only result in them being scrapped.

Although he could bring items within the range of his Divine Sense into his space, for herbs like this growing on the ground, he needed to pick them first.

Wang Hong pondered for a moment. Since he couldn't use Puppets to harvest, he could only rely on Poisonous Bees to complete this task.

Although Poisonous Bees were a bit clumsy, even if they damaged the roots of the celestial grass a bit, it shouldn't affect his transplantation into space.

With this in mind, he commanded, and a tier-four Poisonous Bee appeared directly at the roots of the celestial grass.

Following Wang Hong's instructions, this Poisonous Bee began to dig the soil with its two front feet.

Being a tier-four Poisonous Bee, its strength was naturally not small. It quickly dug through the soil layer, exposing the roots inside.

Next, the Poisonous Bee clumsily continued to dig along the roots.

It took about the time it would to drink a cup of tea for the Poisonous Bees to dig out the celestial grass from the soil.

Then, both the Poisonous Bees and the celestial grass disappeared simultaneously, leaving only a small pit in place. Even the corpses of the previously dead Spirit Bees and Puppet remnants were collected by Wang Hong, leaving no trace behind.

After bringing the celestial grass into his Space, Wang Hong temporarily entered to inspect.

Observing its emitted aura, it was no different from the immortal fruit he had previously harvested.

So, he transplanted the celestial grass next to the immortal fruit tree he had previously grafted.

The branches of the immortal fruit tree had been growing in Space for several years. Although they hadn't yet taken root, they were vigorous, and there should be no problem with their growth and survival.

After harvesting the celestial grass, he continued cautiously forward.

When he climbed a peak, his Divine Sense had already detected, eighty miles away, on a flat ground, dozens of members from the Demon Race and Abyss Clan gathering.

"Weird! What are the members of the Demon Race alliance preparing to do here?"

Although over eighty miles away, he could still sense the place where these Demon Race members were gathering. The Spirit Qi was extremely rich there, even more so than in any other place he had visited in the secret realm, including the abundant immortal aura.

From Wang Hong's exploration in the secret realm for many days, he found that the places with the richest Spirit Qi and immortal aura were also the richest in various high-tier Spiritual Herbs.

However, it seemed that the minds of these Demon Race and Abyss Clan members were not on searching for treasures at the moment. They should be conducting some kind of mysterious ceremony.

Thirty-six large-sized altars were constructed around this flat ground, and a large formation on the ground connected all thirty-six altars.

Wang Hong looked at these altars and found them very familiar, but soon he remembered.

He had destroyed countless altars of the Demon Clan on the Hezhou continent and had a deep impression of this type of altar.

Now, these thirty-six altars seemed very similar to them.

It's just that compared to the altars constructed by the Demon Clan back then, these were more complex and many times larger.

"It seems that these should be an upgraded version of the Demon Clan's altars."

The altars constructed by the Demon Clan back then were intended to connect to another realm and establish void passageways.

Could it be that the Demon Race also had such intentions?

Nowadays, after successive failures in battles with the Human-Demon Alliance, the Demon Race had reached the brink of extinction.

Fortunately, the desolate realm connected by the Desolate Spirit Sea had been opened, and countless savage tribes had surged out, forcing the Human-Demon Alliance to stop fighting against the Demon Race.

They even turned enemies into friends, inviting the Demon Race to join them in fighting against the savage tribes.

This gave the Demon Race and Abyss Clan a chance to catch their breath, but they also knew that this opportunity was temporary, and they had to find a way to change the situation.

Therefore, any desperate actions by the current Demon Race alliance were not surprising.

Wang Hong quietly assessed the members of the Demon Race alliance in the distance, speculating on their purpose for this journey.

He had destroyed countless altars in the past and was quite experienced. Each altar would have a piece of high-grade Spirit Stone, which had made him rich in the past.

He scanned several times with his Divine Sense but found no presence of Spirit Stone. However, his attention was now drawn to something else.

Thirty-six altars formed a circle, connected in the middle by a formation. In the center of this circle, at what seemed to be the hub of the formation, there were sixteen stones emitting a five-colored glow.

At this moment, he stared at these sixteen Five-Color God Stones, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid, and sweat forming in his palms.

Wang Hong had heard before that immortal stones had appeared in the secret realm. For this reason, he had searched for a lot of information related to immortal stones in the Fallen Fairy City.

Now, the sixteen Five-Color God Stones on the ground were no different from the immortal stones recorded in the information. How could he not be excited?
