Wang Yu
Chapter 448: Rising Winds and Turbulent Clouds
Qu Ling chuckled softly, and with a delicate lift of her hand, flicked her finger seemingly without effort.
A streak of silver light shot out, disappearing without a trace in a blur. The next moment, it appeared out of nowhere above the three nascent souls, revealing itself to be a hollowed-out silver bottle.
A beam of silver light shot out from the bottle's mouth, instantly enveloping the three nascent souls.
Wherever the silver light touched, the void immediately became incomparably heavy.
The three nascent souls, caught in the silver light, instantly felt as if they were mired in mud. A crimson light flashed wildly on their surfaces, but they were unable to move.
Xu Yangzi's nascent soul revealed a trace of ferocity on its face and opened its mouth.
A blood-red saber shot out, slashing down towards his own head like lightning.
*Chi la!*
The nascent soul was immediately split in half. One half immediately burst into flames, transforming into a crimson flame figure with countless crimson runes flickering within.
The crimson flame figure waved its hands violently, grabbed the surrounding silver light, and tore at it.
With a *chi la* sound, a gap was torn in the silver light.
The other half of Xu Yangzi's nascent soul shot out of the gap, and the blood-red saber trembled before shattering, turning into a cloud of blood light that enveloped the half nascent soul.
The speed of the half nascent soul suddenly increased several times, disappearing into the distance in a blur.
Qu Ling, seeing this scene, revealed a trace of surprise in her eyes. She wanted to intercept, but it was already too late.
She didn't pay it much mind. With a flick of her finger, the silver light on the surface of the silver bottle brightened. With a *swoosh*, she sucked the other two nascent souls into the bottle.
*Rumble!*
The white iceberg shattered. The white giant python held the storage treasures of the True Flame Sect members in its mouth and dutifully delivered them to Qu Ling.
The goddess scanned these storage treasures with her divine sense, nodded slightly, waved her hand to collect them all, and then patted the giant python's head, saying softly:
"You behaved well today."
The white giant python's huge eyes showed a flattering expression, and it nodded its head at Qu Ling. Then, with a twist of its massive body, it transformed into a white light and flew into a white pouch on Qu Ling's waist.
The cyan giant silkworm also flew over, turning into a cloud of cyan light and disappearing into another pouch on Qu Ling's body.
Qu Ling's figure swayed, and the next moment, she appeared on the back of the golden beetle in the distance.
"Are we going to continue forward?" The golden beetle opened its mouth, and it surprisingly spoke human language, its voice clear and childish.
"Those three nascent souls just escaped. Among the three of you, you are the fastest. White and cyan have already acted. Why did you stand idly by?" A cold glint flashed in Qu Ling's eyes.
"Just three Golden Immortal nascent souls. With your powers, it would be easy to stop them. There's no need for me to act," the golden beetle paused, then said with a hint of disdain.
"Hmph! Just because you used to be a Dao Insect, don't think you can disobey my orders. I saw your potential and spent a lot of effort cultivating you. Don't be ungrateful!" Qu Ling said coldly.
The golden beetle hummed in agreement, but it was clearly perfunctory.
A flash of anger appeared in Qu Ling's eyes, but she seemed surprisingly tolerant towards the golden beetle and quickly suppressed her anger.
"Continue forward," she said after taking a deep breath, her voice returning to calmness.
The golden beetle didn't say anything more. A golden light flashed on its body, and its huge body transformed into a golden light, flying forward with incredible speed.
Qu Ling sat down and looked at the emerald green gourd in her hand.
She formed a hand seal and pointed at it. A green light flashed at the mouth of the gourd, and the eight crimson flags shot out, landing in her hand.
A look of excitement appeared in Qu Ling's eyes.
"What's so amazing about a broken gourd?" the golden beetle hummed.
"This treasure is not in the same league as ordinary immortal artifacts! The Mysterious is born from the earth and nurtured by heaven, containing supreme divine powers. It is a true pre-celestial artifact. There are few in a realm, and most have already been taken. This gourd has grown here for who knows how many years. The laws it nurtures are the most fundamental secrets of this realm, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary Mysterious things! I have only comprehended one of its divine powers so far, and it is already so powerful. When I go back and study it carefully, there will definitely be other mysteries," Qu Ling's tone was calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of excitement in it.
"Hehe, so this unremarkable gourd is so amazing. Impressive, impressive," the golden beetle said, its two golden eyes rolling around.
"No matter what, this trip was worth it. With this Mysterious treasure, the Grand Unity Pill will be mine! When I advance to Grand Unity and comprehend the mysteries of this treasure, it won't be impossible to reach Great Luo in the future. If you follow me wholeheartedly, you will have your benefits in the future," Qu Ling said excitedly, the last sentence directed at the golden beetle beneath her.
"Then I'll thank you in advance," the golden beetle said indifferently, seemingly unconcerned.
Seeing this, Qu Ling frowned again.
"Ungrateful!" She snorted and then ignored the golden beetle, continuing to examine the emerald green gourd in her hand.
Suddenly, Qu Ling's expression changed slightly, and her gaze fell on the area near the mouth of the emerald green gourd.
The entire emerald green gourd was jade green, as if carved from emerald, but the color at the mouth of the gourd was noticeably lighter, not completely mature, and slightly flawed.
"It seems it was picked a little too early. If it had been a few tens of thousands of years later... but it doesn't matter. After I go back, I'll find some spiritual soil and spiritual liquid to nurture it for a million years, and it should be fine," Qu Ling sighed inwardly.
She had discovered this emerald green gourd in a medicine garden. After discovering this treasure, she was naturally overjoyed. Although she knew it was not completely mature, after some consideration, she immediately picked it.
Picking this gourd before it was completely mature would definitely have some adverse effects on the treasure, but she was naturally unwilling to let it grow here for tens of thousands of years, not knowing if she would have another chance to take it away next time.
Thinking this, Qu Ling closed her eyes and formed hand seals non-stop.
Streaks of silver light entered the gourd, and a faint green light immediately appeared on the gourd.
...
Above a range of crimson peaks, a group of cultivators flew past. It was the Cangliu Palace group.
The group's escape lights were connected, forming a giant dragon-like blue rainbow, flying forward with incredible speed.
The crimson peaks below were covered with lush vegetation, including many spiritual herbs and medicines. Some emitted powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, which could be clearly felt from mid-air.
The Cangliu Palace members, especially those in the True Immortal Realm, occasionally looked down, their eyes revealing envy.
But Luo Qinghai, who was flying in the lead, showed no intention of stopping, not even lowering his head, flying straight ahead.
Seeing this, the others naturally could not stop to search for treasures.
"Palace Lord, it seems we don't need to rush so much. These spiritual herbs below are quite extraordinary, and some are even useful to us," the white-faced scholar next to Luo Qinghai couldn't help but say.
"Junior Brother, there's no need to say more. I have my reasons for doing this," Luo Qinghai glanced at the white-faced scholar and said slowly.
"Yes," the white-faced scholar was stunned and then said nothing more.
...
The Northern Cold Immortal Palace group was currently standing in front of a blue palace.
A treasure light glimmered within the blue palace, clearly containing many good things.
The Northern Cold Immortal Palace members looked at the palace, their eyes revealing greed.
"Go in, but you only have a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, leave immediately," Xiao Jinhai said with his hands behind his back, giving the order in a bland tone.
"Yes," the Northern Cold Immortal Palace members agreed and immediately flew inside.
Xiao Jinhai stood at the palace gate, not entering, his gaze looking into the distance, his eyes flickering, seemingly thinking about something.
...
In a gray sea of clouds, a gray flying boat was sailing forward like a ship cutting through the waves.
Within the gray clouds, streaks of black light flickered, like black lightning, constantly striking the gray flying boat, but they were all blocked by a layer of light on the boat.
A group of gray-robed figures sat cross-legged in the cabin, the Fuling Sect members.
Feng Du's tall, withered figure sat cross-legged in the center of the cabin, the others forming a circle around him.
Waves of gray light emanated from the bodies of everyone, seemingly performing some kind of secret technique.
After a long time, Feng Du suddenly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
"How can this be? I can't sense the aura of those two Interdimensional Law Chains anymore. Where did that person go..." He muttered to himself, a look of contemplation on his face.
...
In a certain void of the Immortal Mansion, a ball of crimson light was speeding through the sea of clouds, capable of traveling no less than ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye.
Within the crimson light, two figures were enveloped, an old man with a black beard and a woman in a yellow dress, none other than Hu Yan Daoren and Yun Ni.
The two had solemn expressions, not saying a word, only silently forming incantations, urging the escape light forward.
...
Above a swamp, the group of Southern Li Clan cultivators were surrounded by a flock of earthy yellow strange birds.
These strange birds were four or five zhang long, with green fleshy bumps on their heads, sharp beaks and claws, looking extremely ferocious.
The cultivation of these strange birds was not strong, but they were numerous, with hundreds of them, and their speed was as fast as lightning.
Although the Southern Li Clan cultivators were much stronger than those strange birds, they were entangled here, and it seemed impossible to move forward for a while.
...
At this time, the various forces had been in the Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion for many days, and had penetrated deep into various parts of the Immortal Mansion, each with their own opportunities, or misfortunes.
Those with deep opportunities naturally obtained many treasures, and those with extremely bad luck died here in large numbers.
The Underworld Cold Immortal Mansion, which had been silent for who knows how many years, once again became turbulent.
In the endless sea of sand, a ball of blue light flew forward swiftly. It was the Cyan Luan Flying Boat.
Han Li stood at the bow of the boat, his eyes flashing with blue light, constantly scanning his surroundings.
Lu Yuqing stood beside him, holding the jade slip with the map in her hand.
The redness on the faces of the two had now disappeared, returning to normal, clearly having found the Land of Water Spirits according to the map and cleared the fire poison from their bodies.
Although they would be poisoned again after leaving the Land of Water Spirits, as long as they calculated their route as much as possible along the way, and followed one Land of Water Spirits after another, there would be no major problems.
The strange fire poison in the endless sea of sand that made others fear so much was not a threat to them.
At this moment, the two had arrived deep in the endless sea of sand, not far from the passage.
Suddenly, Han Li's gaze froze, and he looked to the right front.
A little green appeared in the distance, seemingly another oasis.
