Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Seeking the Immortal Spirit Stone Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Seeking the Immortal Spirit Stone The Desolate Domain was not an independent space but was sealed by a powerhouse during the Ancient Times.
Therefore, the so-called Desolate Domain is also a part of the Mainland, just sealed away.
The Desolate Domain was a battlefield in the Ancient Times, and the reason why the powerful beings sealed it might be due to the battles being too brutal, with far too many casualties.
The area of the Desolate Domain was vast, and the space was filled with a terrifying ancient atmosphere.
Besides that, the space was also permeated with intense resentment and a sinister aura.
The strong resentment was almost tangible, sending chills down oneâs spine.
A great expanse of ruined palaces scared the cultivators who entered into a stupor, their faces instantly showing colors of panic and fear.
With such intense resentment, no one could imagine just how horrific the battles must have been.
The long river of time had been unable to erase this resentment, but it had erased the bones of the dead.
In the vast expanse of ruins, not a single skeleton was to be seen; they had likely disintegrated long ago.
Sealed for many years, the Desolate Domain had not experienced rain for a long time; aside from the ruined palaces, there were just bare mountain peaks, with all vegetation having died out long since.
âWith such strong resentment, just how many people died on this battlefield?â
âToo terrifying! Such a vast battlefield, no wonder it was sealed.â
âIt feels like hell itself; such a vast battlefield, who knows what major event happened back then.â
Many geniuses discussed with frightened tones.
Feng Wuchen and the others, flying high in the sky, could see farther and more expansively than the rest.
A glance revealed that, no matter how magnificent and majestic the palaces once were, they had all become ruins.
Soon after, many geniuses scattered in all directions towards the four corners of the Desolate Domain, each seeking treasure for themselves.
Some chose to look in the ruined palaces, while others went towards the bare mountain peaks, and still others went to places no one else had ventured.
âSearch freely, but do not offend the people from the Heavenly Domain,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently.
âYes, Dan Emperor!â Bei Dou Tianye and others chose a direction and took off.
Leng Qingfeng and the others went their separate ways, and with Feng Wuchenâs protection, they were not worried about Zhang Junlanâs safety.
Feng Wuchen glanced around, saw the powerhouses from the Heavenly Domain heading north, and then said, âLetâs head south.â
With the cultivators from the Heavenly Domain being powerful, Feng Wuchen did not wish to clash with them, especially as he had Liu Qingyang, Miao Qingqing, and Zhang Junlan by his side, who were not very strong.
Feng Wuchen also had no confidence in facing off alone against five or six Tianyuan Realm cultivators of the fifth level or beyond.
On the other hand, Feng Wuchen still had to watch out for Beiming Kong and Murong Tian.
After everyone had scattered, Beiming Kong and Murong Tian finally appeared with a flash.
âThe Formation is ready, and I have also left a clone. Brother Murong, tell me your plans,â Beiming Kong said, looking at Murong Tian.
Murong Tian shook his head, âMy plan has been disrupted. I initially wanted to use Nangong Zhan to deal with Feng Wuchen, but unexpectedly, Feng Wuchenâs cultivation has improved too quickly. Letâs talk about your plan instead. You set up the Formation at the gate of the Desolate Domain, didnât you? Isnât it just to be safe?â
âIndeed, weâre not just after Feng Wuchenâs martial skills, but also the treasures of the geniuses from the Heavenly Domain. I have my ways. Come on, letâs follow the people from the Heavenly Domain,â Beiming Kong said with a mysterious smile.
The two concealed their presence slightly and flew towards the direction of the prodigies from the Heavenly Domain.
âProfound Grade high-quality cultivation technique! Iâve found a Profound Grade high-quality cultivation technique!â
âThe cultivation technique was mine first! Put it down!â
âThe cultivation technique is mine! If you donât want to die, hand it over!â
âHmph! I got it first, so itâs mine! What, do you want to commit murder for treasure?â
âHmph! What if I killed you? Letâs fight!â
âWho will kill who is not certain! Fight!â
In no time at all, a group of people started to fight over the Profound Grade high-quality cultivation technique.
A Profound Grade high-quality cultivation technique, unlike martial skills, was much rarer and more precious than martial skills of the same level.
âFifth Grade pills! There are thirteen of them! Haha!â
âThird brother, lucky you! Quickly secure them! Donât let the others notice.â
âBig brother, a low-grade Spiritual Artifact!â
âWhat a great haul! Haha! Secure it quickly!â
âŠ
âBig Senior Brother! Help me! Iâm trapped in an Array!â
âBig Senior Brother, I canât move either! Save me! The Formation is devouring my power!â
âWhat are you waiting for? Save them!â
âŠ
Cultivators scattered everywhere were lucky enough to find treasures, their faces beaming with joy.
Those with bad luck couldnât find anything no matter how hard they searched, as if the treasures were hiding from them.
Then there were those who fought over treasures, and acts of murder for loot were not unusual.
In the Desolate Domain, if you were killed, no one would know who killed you, making revenge impossible.
Shrewd individuals even if they found treasures, would pretend they found nothing and would immediately store them in their Storage Rings, out of sight from others, to avoid trouble.
Beyond that, there were those who encountered trouble, trapped by terrible Formations, and others who entered into Illusion Arrays, and so on.
Although the Desolate Domain is said to be filled with many treasures, it is also fraught with danger, with the risk to life present at every moment.
Looking at Feng Wuchenâs side now, Feng Wuchen and his four companions had arrived at a bare mountain peak, which had nothing but rock.
âBig Brother Feng, what are we doing here? Thereâs nothing at all; weâd be better off looking in the palace,â Liu Qingyang said anxiously, itching with jealousy as he watched others find treasures.
âThis should be the place,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently, his gaze sweeping down the mountain.
âAccording to the markings on the map, itâs correct, just below the mountain,â Zhang Junlan nodded.
âBig Brother Feng, what are you looking for?â Miao Qingqing asked curiously.
âImmortal Spirit Stones!â Zhang Junlan said, âthe material needed to refine Immortal Artifacts!â
âRefining Immortal Artifacts?â Liu Qingyangâs expression shook dramatically, his eyes shining.
âCorrect, a long time ago, someone from the Zhang family had entered here and drawn a map. My main purpose this time is for the Immortal Spirit Stones. Theyâre extremely precious, you canât buy them anywhere, and theyâre hard to find on the Mainland. However, the Zhang familyâs people accidentally discovered the Immortal Spirit Stones in the Desolate Domain. Unfortunately, my father also failed to refine an Immortal Artifact, and after that, we didnât come back to the Desolate Domain due to other matters,â Zhang Junlan explained.
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, âItâs not so easy to refine Immortal Artifacts. You have to be extremely strict with the amount of every kind of material; itâs not like refining Spiritual Artifacts.â
âTeacher is right; refining Immortal Artifacts is extremely difficult,â Zhang Junlan added. âBesides, the map also marks the position of some other treasures, making it convenient for us to search. Right now, the location of the Immortal Spirit Stones is just to the south of here.â
âWhat other treasures are there?â Liu Qingyang pressed.
âIn any case, itâs all good stuff!â Zhang Junlan smiled mysteriously.
At those words, Liu Qingyang rolled his eyes in frustration.
âI see,â Miao Qingqing nodded.
âRefining Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Spirit Stones are essential. I hope we can find them. Letâs go down and take a look!â Feng Wuchen led the way, diving down first, with Ling Xiaoxiao and the others following closely behind.
The main materials for refining Immortal Artifacts are, of course, incredibly precious.
Immortal Artifacts are not just any Spiritual Artifacts!
If they could find Immortal Spirit Stones, and then gather the auxiliary materials, Feng Wuchen would be able to refine an Immortal Artifact!
With the Evil Dragon Godâs unparalleled Artifact Refining realm, refining an Immortal Artifact was not a problem at all; the problem was the materials!
Underneath the mountain peak, it was slightly dim, but still clear enough to see.
âLetâs search around!â Feng Wuchen and his group split up and began their search.
However, to their disappointment, there were no Immortal Spirit Stones under the mountain, not even a trace of their presence.
After searching all around the base of the mountain, they found nothing.
âBig Brother Feng, could the marking be wrong? Thereâs nothing here,â Miao Qingqing asked.
Zhang Junlan also seemed disappointed and said, âIt shouldnât be wrong, it might be due to the passage of time that things have changed here, or perhaps someone else took them the last time it was opened.â
âImmortal Spirit Stones are nurtured by heaven and earth. With such powerful resentment here, even if they were taken away, they would have reborn. There must be some remaining Immortal Spirit Stones. Search carefully,â Feng Wuchen said firmly.
âEh? This isâŠâ At a turn at the foot of the mountain, Liu Qingyang suddenly cried out in surprise, as if he had found something.
âBig Brother Liu, what do you see⊠Big Brother FengâŠâ Miao Qingqing quickly turned around, and that turn gave her a frightening sight.
Miao Qingqing watched in terror as Liu Qingyang was devoured by the rock. By the time she realized it and called out for Feng Wuchen, she too was swallowed up.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them vanished.
âQingyang! Qingqing!â Feng Wuchenâs expression drastically changed, and he immediately dashed to the spot.
âThis is bad!â Zhang Junlan and Ling Xiaoxiao also hurriedly moved closer.
But when Feng Wuchen and the others approached, the rock showed no reaction.
Feng Wuchen quickly channeled his Earth Attribute True Yuan, attempting to penetrate the rock, but to his surprise, he couldnât get through.
The rock was extremely odd, truly catching one off guard.
âA barrier!â Feng Wuchen exclaimed, realizing that there was a powerful barrier within the rock!
âA barrier?â Zhang Junlanâs face changed slightly, and he forcefully channeled his True Yuan, hitting it with his palm.
âHold on!â Feng Wuchen urgently tried to stop him, but it was already too late.
âBoom!â
âPuh!â
Zhang Junlanâs palm struck the rock, causing an explosive sound. His face suddenly twisted and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his body recoiling.
The rock remained motionless, not even showing a tear.
âWhat a terrifying barrier!â Zhang Junlan was shocked.
âQingyang! Qingqing!â Feng Wuchen called out anxiously.
âQingqing, can you hear us talk?â Ling Xiaoxiao shouted loudly.
There was no response from the rock, which made Feng Wuchen even more anxious!
The barrier in the rock was strong; Feng Wuchenâs recently channeled Earth Attribute True Yuan couldnât get through, and even if going all out, he would probably end up injured.
âFeng⊠Big Brother Feng, there are people! Living people!â A few minutes later, from within the rock, suddenly came the terrified shouts of Liu Qingyang!
âQingyang! Qingqing! How are you two?â Hearing Liu Qingyangâs voice, Feng Wuchen was overjoyed and quickly asked.
âLiving people?â Zhang Junlanâs face shifted subtly, his eyes widening!
There were living people inside the rock!
There were living people in the Desolate Domain!
The Desolate Domain had existed for so many years, from Ancient Times until now, and yet there were still people alive!
