CHAPTER 1430: CHAPTER 1434: THE DISCIPLE ACHIEVES MERIT

Ziwan Celestial Realm, Qianzhu Mountain Range, ancestral land of the Hong Clan.

Hong Yuntao and a plump woman in a golden dress sat inside a blue stone pavilion, discussing something.

"Impossible, Luo River Fairy entered the Jiuli Daochang and came out alive. The Golden Ape Clan dispatched several Great Luo Golden Immortals to capture her, it’s impossible that she only has this little stuff on her."

Hong Yuntao frowned and said.

The Hong family received intelligence that the Golden Ape Clan had dispatched several Great Luo Golden Immortals to capture Luo River Fairy.

Luo River Fairy fled into the territory of the Hong family, and the Great Elder of the Hong family personally took action, cutting off an arm of the Luo River Fairy. Luo River Fairy self-destructed a Top Grade Primordial Immortal Treasure and fled into the Blood Luo Tomb.

The Blood Luo Tomb is the most dangerous place within the Asura Tribe’s territory, where even a Great Luo Golden Immortal might perish.

The Great Elder of the Hong family guarded the entrance and then called on the Great Luo Golden Immortal within the clan who mastered the Curse Law to use the severed arm of Luo River Fairy to perform a cursing technique to kill Luo River Fairy.

The Hong family organized experts to enter the Blood Luo Tomb searching for the remains of Luo River Fairy, losing two Great Luo Golden Immortals and severely injuring two others. After great difficulty, they found the remains of Luo River Fairy, with nothing valuable on them.

"There are two possibilities. First, Luo River Fairy, before being killed by the curse, threw the good stuff somewhere in the Blood Luo Tomb; second, she hid the good stuff in the lower realm."

The woman in the golden dress analyzed.

"What? Hidden in the lower realm? She is a Great Luo Golden Immortal; she can’t go to the lower realm, right!"

Hong Yuntao asked in confusion.

"She can’t go to the lower realm herself, but she could have sent an avatar under True Immortal level to the lower realm. Perhaps she never expected that you would master the Curse Law and would use her severed arm to curse her, extinguishing both her divine soul and body."

The woman in the golden dress speculated.

"The area of the Blood Luo Tomb isn’t small. If she hid the good stuff somewhere in the Blood Luo Tomb, it’s very hard for us to find. If she sent an avatar to the lower realm, which lower realm would she go to?"

Hong Yuntao had a puzzled expression.

"Thinking from her perspective, if I were her, it wouldn’t be sensible to hide the good stuff somewhere in the Blood Luo Tomb; there’s no need for that. If she had special Top Grade Immortal Artifacts on hand, she could break the barrier and send a cultivator below True Immortal level to the lower realm. This time I returned, I plan to take a group of Mahayana cultivators to the Blood Luo Tomb. I plan to break open the interface near the remains of Luo River Fairy and send the Mahayana cultivators to the lower realm. Once the Immortal Transmission Formation is established, we’ll know which interface they went to."

The woman in the golden dress said slowly.

"No time to lose; I’ll lead the team with you. I hope everything goes smoothly."

Hong Yuntao said in a deep voice.

A little over half an hour later, they left this place with a team of Mahayana cultivators.

······

Xiyuanzhou Realm Cluster, Tianluo Realm.

In a certain blue ocean region, a blue escape light appeared on the distant horizon, shone, and stopped.

The escape light faded, revealing a flying boat glimmering with blue light, with four men and one woman standing atop it, led by a burly young man in a blue shirt with a Late Stage Mahayana cultivation.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is the place."

A woman in a blue dress with picturesque features spoke, holding a golden sphere the size of an egg in her right hand.

"According to Taoist Friend Wang, there is a Thunder Attribute restriction here. We have brought along a set of Xuantian Treasure, Green Thunder Beads, hoping everything goes smoothly."

The young man in the blue shirt spoke in a deep voice.

Xu Jiang, he was ordered to lead a team to the lower realm.

With a spell, the blue flying boat flew forward.

After a while, a deafening thunderous sound came from high above, a thick Nine-Colored Lightning broke through the sky and struck towards them.

Xu Jiang shook his sleeve, and five green-glowing spheres shot out with a spell.

Five green spheres burst into dazzling green light, circled around them once, and transformed into a thick green light shield, covering the five of them.

On the surface of the green light shield, several lightning-like patterns twisted around, like living creatures.

The Nine-Colored Lightning struck the green light shield, disappearing without a trace, like mud cows into the sea.

The blue flying boat continued forward, with even thicker Nine-Colored Lightning striking the green light shield, which remained immovable.

A little over half an hour later, the woman in the blue dress spoke up: "The control hub is just ahead. If it weren’t for carrying the Golden Dawn Bead, we wouldn’t have discovered it."

Her right hand shook, and the golden sphere in her hand shot out, spinning quickly after reaching a certain point in the void, spreading a golden light ring.

With a flash of golden light, a barren island the size of a hundred miles appeared, with sparse vegetation and a small canyon with mountains on three sides at the southwest corner of the island.

Xu Jiang cast a spell, and the blue flying boat flew towards the barren island.

Once they entered the sky above the island, there was no more Nine-Colored Lightning striking down.

The blue flying boat landed outside the small canyon, and the five of them disembarked from the blue flying boat.

"Senior Brother Xu, I’ll go break the restriction with Junior Brother Wang, and you wait here to support us."

After saying this, the woman in the blue dress, accompanied by a burly man in a golden robe, strode into the valley.

A large amount of yellow mist surged within the valley, engulfing their figures.

A loud series of explosions emanated from the mist, shaking the mountains and ground.

Xu Jiang and the other two stood still, appearing calm.

They had brought along a full set of Xuantian Treasure, along with True Spirit and Eighth Rank Secret Talisman assistance; breaking the restriction wasn’t difficult.

After a while, a massive Nine-Colored light pillar shot skyward, reaching the clouds.

The Nine-Colored light pillar dispersed, and the yellow mist dispersed along with it.

The woman in the blue dress and the man in the golden robe stood in front of a large cave entrance several meters wide, looking excited.

"Senior Brother Xu, we’ve broken the restriction."

The woman in the blue dress said.

Xu Jiang nodded, striding into the cave, while the four of them quickly followed.

Soon, they found themselves in a cave the size of an acre, with a golden long dress on the ground, a Nine-Colored Array Plate beside it, and a Golden Storage Bracelet.

Xu Jiang picked up the Golden Storage Bracelet and shook his wrist. A flash of golden light swept over, and a large pile of items appeared on the ground.

Among them, a delicate golden jade box caught their attention, Xu Jiang opened the jade box, which contained two palm-sized black jade stones with some green patterns on their surfaces.

"What are these things?"

Xu Jiang asked in confusion, allowing his companions to examine them.

"I don’t recognize them, but if they are stored in a jade box, they mustn’t be ordinary materials. We shouldn’t touch these items; we should take them back and hand them over to the Sect Leader and the Ancestor for disposal."

The woman in the blue dress suggested.

Xu Jiang nodded, gathering the items on the ground.

They carefully checked but found nothing else, packing up the golden long dress and the Nine-Colored Array Plate from the ground before leaving.

More than half a year later, a golden flying boat appeared on the distant horizon, shone, and stopped. Five men and one woman stood atop it, led by a tall, thin elder wearing a blue robe, with a Late Stage Mahayana cultivation.

The golden flying boat flew forward without any anomaly.

"What’s going on? Wasn’t there supposed to be a Thunder Attribute restriction?"

The blue-robed elder frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding.

The golden flying boat lit up with a golden light and flew forward, disappearing into the horizon.

Six months later, the golden flying boat returned.

"Someone beat us to it, damn it."

A man in a yellow robe cursed.

"More likely than not it was a major force from the Xiyuanzhou Realm Cluster. Go question them. Dare they steal from the Hong Immortal Clan; they shall be killed without mercy."

The blue-robed elder’s face was full of killing intent. With a spell, the golden flying boat shone with a golden light and left.
