CHAPTER 1386: CHAPTER 1390: DAO MATERIAL

Heavenly Cunning Immortal Realm.

The Golden Rhinoceros Mountain Range is located in the northwest of the Heavenly Cunning Continent, where the Immortal Yuan Qi is sparse, and high rank immortals are rarely seen.

Deep within the mountain range, a yellow sea of fog covers a million miles around, making it impossible to see inside.

In a hidden cave, Shen Xiao sits cross-legged on the ground, with the Myriad Beasts Tower placed in front of him.

Inside the Myriad Beasts Tower, on the ninth floor.

A vast green stone plaza, where Shen Long and Chu Buyu sit cross-legged in the center, with a plethora of items laid out in front of them.

Immortal Yuan Stones, Immortal Elixirs, Immortal Wood, among others, dazzling to the eyes.

These items were found in the Heavenly Cunning Race’s treasure vault, proving that the Heavenly Cunning Race is indeed one of the Ten Major Subordinate Forces of the Evil God Race, with profound resources.

Shen Long’s gaze falls on an exquisite green jade box. Upon opening the lid, a mesmerizing blue light sweeps out.

After a while, the blue light dissipates.

Shen Long glances at the jade box and finds a blue jade stone the size of an egg inside.

The surface of the blue jade stone is smooth, shimmering with a blue light.

He picks up the blue jade stone, feeling as if he’s holding a piece of thin paper.

A spiritual light appears, and Shen Ling materializes, displaying a look of longing on his face.

"Master, could I devour this material?"

Shen Ling shows an expectant expression.

Shen Long is momentarily stunned, then passes the blue jade stone to Chu Buyu, who examines it carefully.

"I don’t recognize this material. It should be the legendary Dao Material, used for refining Dao Artifacts. However, one can’t refine a Dao Artifact with just one Dao Material; it can be devoured by a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact to enhance its power."

Chu Buyu said.

"Dao Material?"

Shen Long is slightly taken aback.

Generally speaking, Dao Artifacts are classified into innate and acquired. A Hongmeng Immortal Material can ascend to a Dao Artifact by devouring an enormous amount of Heaven and Earth Treasures, making it an innate Dao Artifact.

The Dao Ancestor gathers a huge amount of Dao Materials to refine Dao Artifacts, but a Daluo Golden Immortal cannot refine a Dao Artifact.

The Heavenly Cunning Race collected a Dao Material but didn’t use it to cultivate a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact. Is it because they don’t have a suitable Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, or is there another reason?

At that moment, a piercing screech sounded.

Shen Long takes out a golden flashing Nine-Angle Formation Plate and says in a deep voice, "As expected, the Evil God Race’s Diviner has once again attempted to predict our location."

They could deal with the Heavenly Cunning Race by changing their appearances, which would reduce the vigilance of the Heavenly Cunning Race.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu intentionally exposed their identities to provoke the higher-ups of the Evil God Race.

"Then let him taste the power of the Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array for daring to predict our location repeatedly."

Chu Buyu said in a deep voice.

Shen Long nodded and infused several spells into the formation plate.

A golden light shone beneath Shen Long and Chu Buyu, and countless mysterious golden runes surged out, attaching themselves to their bodies.

"Dare to predict me? Let’s see if you can endure the backlash."

Shen Long changes his spell and infuses it into the formation plate.

······

Heavenly Evil Island, a vast green stone plaza.

At the center of the plaza stands a massive silver formation, surrounded by eighteen large silver pillars.

Yin Zhu stands atop the silver formation, with a silver flashing talisman attached to her body and holding a silver flashing law disk in her hand.

Bian Li and Cui Lang stand beside the formation, their expressions solemn.

Yin Zhu is divining Shen Long’s whereabouts, lacking mastery over the Fate Law, relying on a top grade immortal artifact, a fourth rank immortal formation, and a fourth rank immortal talisman for her divination.

A multitude of profound mystery characters floats in front of her, with Yin Zhu’s brows tightly furrowed.

She cannot ascertain the approximate locations of Shen Long and Chu Buyu with this information alone.

After a while, these profound mystery characters blazed with dazzling golden light, suddenly entering Yin Zhu’s body.

"Not good, backlash······"

Before Yin Zhu could finish her sentence, her face turned crimson, and she spat a mouthful of blood, her complexion paling.

A golden flame appeared on her surface, and her body turned to ash at a visible rate, with a Nascent Soul carrying a red jade ruler flying out.

"They set up a Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array and controlled the formation to attack me during my divination."

Yin Zhu explained, her tone flustered.

Everything is interconnected. A diviner can predict the whereabouts of other creatures, and those creatures can use external items to attack the diviner.

If Yin Zhu hadn’t divined Shen Long and Chu Buyu’s whereabouts, Shen Long couldn’t have controlled the Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array against her.

Bian Li’s face darkened as she realized Shen Long and Chu Buyu deliberately extinguished the Heavenly Cunning Race to provoke the Diviners of the Evil God Race, thus counterattacking.

"The Human Clan is too cunning."

Bian Li cursed.

Yin Zhu would need to spend over a million years to possibly restore her cultivation.

She collected Yin Zhu’s Nascent Soul and said with a frown, "It seems that if we want a diviner to predict their whereabouts again, we need to prepare countermeasures with top grade immortal artifacts or fourth rank immortal talismans."

The Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array is not invincible. Certain special top grade immortal artifacts or fourth rank immortal talismans can weaken its power.

"No wonder they went to the Qiankun Immortal Domain, probably to seek help from the Zhang Family’s immortal formation master to refine a set of Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array; the materials required for such a formation are quite rare."

Cui Lang said with furrowed brows.

"Let’s let them go for now. I don’t believe they can always rely on the array for protection."

Yin Zhu said with a darkened face, leaving with Cui Lang.

······

Heavenly Cunning Immortal Realm, Golden Rhinoceros Mountain Range.

Inside the Myriad Beasts Tower, on the ninth floor.

A vast green stone plaza, with Shen Long and Chu Buyu sitting in the center of the Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array.

"Let’s see if you dare to predict our whereabouts next time."

Shen Long sneered.

"Husband, it’s better to wear the Nine Mysterious Pearl String on you! Conceal your destiny, it’s the safest way; after this battle, the enemy won’t easily predict anymore."

Chu Buyu suggested.

The Nine Mysterious Pearl String is a set of top grade immortal artifacts that can conceal one’s destiny, making it difficult even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage diviner to predict their whereabouts.

Shen Long nodded, took out a string of golden pearls, and wore them on his left hand.

Chu Buyu also took out a string of golden pearls and wore them.

They had collected a substantial amount of Nine Mysterious Immortal Crystal, which Chu Buyu refined into a set of top grade immortal artifacts to conceal their destiny.

With the Nine Mysterious Pearl String and the Nine Palace Inverse Immortal Great Array, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would find it challenging to predict their location.

"To be on the safe side, let’s stay here and cultivate! Once a Daluo Golden Immortal tries to predict our whereabouts, we’ll be aware."

Shen Long suggested.

Chu Buyu had no objections; it was the safest option.

"Master, could you let me devour the Dao Material now? My intuition tells me that I need this Dao Material."

Shen Ling eagerly asked.

"Let’s first find out the origin of this Dao Material, then it won’t be too late to let you devour it."

Shen Long said solemnly.

He took out the Ten Directions Bottle, infused a spell, and the bottle emitted a golden glow, releasing Jiaoli’s Nascent Soul, bound securely by dense golden threads.
