Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 593 Supreme Dharma Sect Yue Yunqing Immortal Medicine Li Luosheng!
In less than half a day, everyone's high-grade storage bags were full, yet looking around, there were still vast stretches of flourishing spiritual herbs.

For a time, everyone felt the regret of "possessing a mountain of treasures, yet being unable to take it all."

Fu Dongcheng, Xie Mosheng, and the others then turned to select those medicinal herbs with particularly outstanding appearances. However, after looking at them from all angles, they found that every single one was of superior quality and they could hardly bear to part with any of them.

[You didn't insist on selecting only the best; instead, you gathered several plants of each type of medicinal herb, and even specifically collected some rare varieties.]

Fu Dongcheng and Xie Mosheng both concluded that these spiritual herbs would likely not survive once they left the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

Their flourishing here is entirely due to the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the unique soil and water within the treasure trove; they would likely wither and die if they were outside, unable to adapt to the environment.

You scoop up a handful of soil from the spiritual field, attempting to carry it out for cultivation, but the soil instantly transforms into wisps of spiritual energy and dissipates into the air the moment it leaves the ground.

Despite several attempts and various methods, it was still impossible to preserve it.

It seems that these are the inherent "rules" of this world, and cannot be changed.

You will then stop worrying and continue to focus on selecting the elixir.

Another day has passed!

The group continued deeper into the mountains, and as far as the eye could see, the wilderness was still filled with countless medicinal herbs and immortal fruits, seemingly without end.

What's even more surprising is that these spiritual plants weren't naturally formed; they must have been deliberately cultivated by cultivators.

They are distributed in large patches and areas, with each medicinal herb occupying its own unique habitat, all in an orderly manner.

Everyone's storage bags were already overflowing. When Xie Mosheng, a disciple of Danhe Peak, briefly explained the effects of the newly discovered treasures, everyone felt a pang of regret for having to discard some of what they had already gathered to fit them all in.

Over time, even when faced with these rare and exquisite medicinal herbs, people gradually became numb to them.

Among the group, Ji Heng and his two companions from Qi Yunfeng were the most excited. They had only been in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury for less than half a month, yet their gains had far exceeded their expectations, making it a truly fruitful trip.

Just then, you suddenly looked up.

Sun Miao, who was standing to the side, seemed to sense something was amiss. He frowned slightly and whispered, "Someone's coming?"

Following his gaze, the group saw a group of fifteen people emerging from behind a valley dotted with layered mountains and abundant medicinal herbs.

At almost the same moment, the other side also noticed Fangcun Mountain and his group.

The aura emanating from them alone reveals that they are definitely not righteous people.

The figures and clothing of the group opposite them gradually became clearer; all of them possessed profound cultivation, with some reaching the mid-stage of the Heavenly Gate realm.

Yuan Shujian spoke first in a deep voice: "They are from the Heretical Supreme Dharma Sect."

The woman leading the group opposite them possessed the cultivation level of the early stage of the Dragon Court Realm.

However, what is most striking is her appearance; she is simply too beautiful.

[Clad in a simple, moon-white silk robe, she moved like flowing wind and swirling snow.]

Standing amidst the clouds and mist of the valley, her long, black hair cascaded down her back, loosely tied up with a single jade hairpin, a few strands brushing against her snow-white neck in the breeze.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling across the surface; a cool, shimmering light emanated from between them.

If the people of Fangcun Mountain hadn't already recognized this Holy Maiden of the Supreme Dharma Sect, they would almost have thought she was a goddess who had stepped out of the Heavenly Emperor's treasury.

However, at this moment, no one had time to appreciate her breathtaking beauty; only a growing sense of vigilance filled their hearts.

The relationship between the righteous path and the heretical path is inherently subtle and difficult to define, and now it is even more so within the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

[Besides the Supreme Dharma Sect, are there other heretical sects lurking in the shadows?]

Moreover, the opponent's displayed strength is clearly superior to that of our own group.

[You activated the Jade Emperor's Aura Observation Technique, your eyes gleaming with a jade-like luster, revealing the cultivation levels of everyone present.]

[Especially this goddess of the Supreme Dharma Sect, Yue Yunqing, is indeed a rare beauty, possessing the highest cultivation level and a truly unique Daoist aura.]

[The current sect leader of the Supreme Dharma Sect, the wielder of the Tears of the Void, True Man Lingxiao—Yue Lingxiao.]

[This Yue Yunqing is of the same lineage as her master, Master Lingxiao. Although she still retains some girlish naiveté, she already displays unparalleled beauty and will surely become a beauty that could topple kingdoms in the future.]

[Not to mention those outside the mainstream, even within the righteous path, there are many who admire her.]

At this moment, the two sides gazed at each other from a distance, neither making a move forward easily.

You vaguely sense a hint of surprise flashing in Yue Yunqing's eyes, as if she hadn't expected to encounter someone from Fangcun Mountain here.

After a moment of silence, Yue Yunqing said nothing, but slowly turned around with her disciples, their figures gradually disappearing into the valley shrouded in spiritual mist.

Ji Heng, one of the group from Fangcun Mountain, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't truly confident of victory if they were to fight the Supreme Dharma Sect at this moment.

[This holy maiden of the Supreme Dharma Sect is renowned far and wide, ranking sixth on the Overseas Dragon and Tiger List published by the Heavenly Dao Pavilion. Her cultivation has reached the Dragon Court Realm, making her no easy opponent. A rash confrontation would be a losing proposition.]

Fortunately, the other party seemed to have no intention of causing trouble there and left.

Yuan Shujian pondered, "The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is vast and boundless, and all areas require teleportation arrays for travel. The fact that we encountered members of the Supreme Dharma Sect here indicates that they also possess the methods for determining direction and activating teleportation portals."

Everyone nodded in agreement. If it weren't for you and Fu Dongcheng, they would probably still be stuck in that grassland-like Heavenly Emperor Ranch, and would have no chance of stepping into this Heavenly Emperor Garden.

Xie Mosheng added solemnly, "Although the Supreme Dharma Sect is called a sect, it is actually formed by the union of five major families. Each family head is also the head of the sect."

"Aside from the renowned divine artifact 'Tear of the Void,' which is famous throughout this world, the Supreme Dharma Sect excels most in various sealing techniques, and is not particularly skilled in divination and calculation."

"If even they can find this place, then other heretical sects, such as the Destiny Star Sect, the Three Immortals Mountain, and the Divine Weapon Valley, have probably also learned of the existence of the Heavenly Emperor's Medicine Garden."

"If that's true, then the unorthodox cultivators coming to search for spiritual herbs are definitely not limited to the Supreme Dharma Sect."

You seemed lost in thought, gazing in the direction where Yue Yunqing and her group had disappeared.

Before us stretched a continuous range of mountains, with medicinal herbs growing abundantly in the wilderness. The rich spiritual energy was almost tangible, rising like mist, resembling a secluded fairyland.

Although this place is rich in medicinal herbs, stretching across seemingly endless mountains, their quality is all only considered top-grade.

Above these are even rarer "top-grade elixirs," "celestial medicines," and even the legendary "elixir of immortality."

The rarity of top-grade spiritual herbs lies in the fact that they cannot be cultivated artificially; they are all unique to heaven and earth, born of nature's grace, and almost every single one is a one-of-a-kind in the world.

For example, the "Corpse Immortal Resurrection Grass" can only be born from the remains of a Grandmaster-level cultivator. Moreover, the deceased must have cultivated their physical body to its peak, died with overwhelming resentment, and it takes hundreds of years for the grass to flower and bear fruit before it can become a single plant.

The Corpse Immortal Resurrection Grass has extremely demanding conditions, almost impossible to obtain even by divine intervention, yet its effects are extraordinary, capable of healing all primordial spirit damage at the Golden Core stage of the Great Dao.

These kinds of spiritual herbs are all listed on the "Immortal Herb Ranking" by the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, and are extremely rare and precious. As for the even more advanced "Immortal Grade" herbs, they are almost like divine treasures, often possessing sentience and self-generated wisdom, their wonders beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

This type of divine elixir is almost unique in the world, and its effects are enough to change one's fate.

The Dao Ling Sect once possessed a "Human-Faced Fungus," a truly celestial plant.

[Back then, the Nine Yang Immortal rose to prominence at a young age, displaying his brilliance and suppressing the younger generation of three families. However, he was caught in a love tribulation set up by the Demonic Bliss Sect of the demonic path. He met an ordinary mortal woman and they fell in love with each other.]

[The demonic sect used this opportunity to their advantage, feigning kidnapping of the woman to lure him into a perilous journey alone. Although True Man Jiuyang had broken through to the Golden Core realm, he was betrayed by his beloved. Though Dao Lingzong risked his life to save him, his dantian was shattered, his Dao foundation destroyed, and he had lost all his magical power, rendering him practically a cripple.]

To save his disciple, Master Jiuyang resolutely sacrificed the sect's most precious treasure, the "Human-Faced Mushroom."

After consuming this celestial elixir, the Nine Yang Immortal embarked on the path of immortality once more, forging an unparalleled foundation for his cultivation and attaining the status of a supreme grandmaster within sixty years.

[A celestial-grade elixir is something capable of shaking the very fate of a realm; its value is no less than that of any sect's most prized treasure, a divinely forbidden magical artifact.]

[And if we discuss the "elixir of immortality" that goes even further, it is almost a feat of creation itself.]

[Legend has it that if a mortal obtains it, he can instantly ascend to heaven and become an immortal in broad daylight.]

Furthermore, the elixir of immortality often possesses spiritual power and can take on human form, becoming a living being in no way inferior to the most powerful true spirits in the world.

You gather your scattered thoughts and re-examine the world before you.

The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is vast and mysterious; it's impossible that it only contains top-grade spiritual herbs!

Even if you were to use your full power of the Qi Observation Technique now, it seems you still wouldn't be able to see the entire area.

[Since you entered this garden of heaven and earth, your vision has been limited.]

Just like a "no-fly zone," unable to go higher, surrounded by only a limited distance and a thick fog.

Another day has passed.

[Your group continued your journey through the herb garden, where the medicinal herbs grew increasingly abundant. However, due to your storage bags being full, you were unable to harvest them, and could only sigh in regret.]

The greatest regret is that so many medicinal herbs are readily available throughout the mountains, yet we have to give them up.

Ji Heng and the others from Qi Yunfeng carefully examined every medicinal herb they encountered, hoping to find the "Moonlit Loneliness Flower" that their sect leader needed.

Having been here for seven days, the group gradually realized that this medicinal garden seemed boundless, with no end in sight.

Seeing this, Sun Miao was about to suggest, "We can stay for another day at most. We've explored this place for seven or eight days, and we've collected enough medicinal herbs. Why don't we head to another part of the herb garden? Perhaps we'll find something else..."

The conversation abruptly ended as Sun Miao was the first to sense a strange aura, and the others immediately became alert.

In the distance, a cloud of blood-red mist churned and rapidly spread towards them.

"They are from the Demonic Sect..." Xie Mosheng said in a deep voice, "Riding blood clouds, they must be from the Blood Sea Demonic Sect."

The palace-dress-clad girl, Ziwei, had already placed her hand on the True Martial Sword Embryo on her back. Her eyes gradually turned cold, and she said in a deep voice, "They're coming for us!"

[Feng Qingge showed no fear. Her slender magic sword trembled slightly, spiritual energy flowing and gathering, like moonlight condensing on the scabbard.]

[In just a few breaths!]

The blood-red cloud had already enveloped the group from Fangcun Mountain, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.

The blood-red clouds gradually dissipated, revealing ten figures, all clad in crimson robes, their skin deathly pale. Both men and women possessed handsome features, yet exuded an eerie aura, their eyes filled with arrogance.

A tall, upright young man with a red jade inlaid between his brows walked out slowly.

His features were deep-set, his handsomeness almost demonic, and an eerie light flickered in his eyes; a slight smile played on his lips.

"Isn't this a fellow Daoist from Fangcun Mountain... What a coincidence."

The Blood Sea Demon Sect ranks third among the seven demonic sects in strength. They specialize in cultivating qi and blood, as well as physical strength. They have long occupied the southern border, keeping a large number of natives as blood slaves and using their blood essence to cultivate demonic arts. Their methods are cruel and ruthless.

In the eyes of righteous cultivators, its infamy is comparable to that of the "Chaoyin Sect," which spends its days among corpses.

Sun Miao, as the senior disciple, remained calm. "Fellow Daoist Li Luosheng, it has been quite some time since we last met!"

[Look closely; although the Blood Sea Demon Sect only has ten members, all of them possess late-stage Heavenly Gate cultivation.]

The young man who spoke had already reached the early stage of the Dragon Court realm, possessing an exceptionally solid foundation. Beneath his skin, a faint, swirling light emanated from him, and a strange, refreshing fragrance even wafted from his body.

This is the first time you've seen someone cultivate their qi and blood, as well as their physical body, to such a level at such a young age.

[You have naturally heard of Li Luosheng's name. Now that you have entered the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, the sect has introduced you to the prominent figures of this generation from the Nine Righteous Sects, the Nine Heretical Sects, and the Seven Demonic Schools.]

Li Luosheng is the son of the Blood Sea Demon Sect's leader and also the current Holy Son, possessing a noble status.

[He ranks sixth on the Demonic Path Ranking published by the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, demonstrating his strength and talent. He is someone the sect warns them to be wary of.]

Li Luosheng smiled slightly. His face was incomparably handsome, and his thin lips, as vibrant as flower petals, were extremely beautiful.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, I never expected that your Fangcun Mountain would also find its way to this place... I've long wanted to have a match with you."

His tone was laced with undisguised disdain: "The so-called 'destined star descends to earth,' and there is one in my Holy Sect as well. I've long disliked him."

"Today is a good day to see how much real talent you self-proclaimed chosen ones truly possess, or whether you are merely empty names."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Luo's aura suddenly changed. The disciples of the Blood Sea Demon Sect behind him simultaneously released their oppressive power, causing demonic energy to surge like a raging sea of ​​blood, directly approaching the group from Fangcun Mountain.

Sun Miao's expression remained unchanged, but his aura suddenly surged, instantly breaking through the late stage of the Heavenly Gate realm and firmly establishing himself at the early stage of the Dragon Court realm.

None of the Fangcun Mountain members showed any surprise. Given Sun Miao's usual abilities, he should have been more than just a late-stage Heavenly Gate cultivator.

Only Fu Dongcheng's gaze flickered slightly, his expression inscrutable. Although both were direct disciples of the sect leader, the difference in their cultivation levels was now subtly widening.

Li Luosheng, however, remained unconcerned, merely chuckling, "Fangcun Mountain's journey into the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury... I'm afraid it ends here."

His voice grew colder, "A weak sect like yours should have stopped occupying that spiritually rich land of Yuzhou in the Central Plains long ago."

"That land rightfully belongs to our Holy Gate!"

Before the words were even finished, another member of the Blood Sea Demon Sect suddenly broke through to the Dragon Court Realm.

The combined pressure of the two Dragon Court cultivators sent a tidal wave of demonic energy crashing down upon them.

Upon seeing this, Ji Heng's expression changed drastically.
