Chapter 776 The Strange Changes in Insect Valley, Returning After Departure

Half a month later.

The Devouring Rat and the Blue Ice Fairy used their supernatural powers to follow behind the people from the Heavenly River Sect and finally figured out their true purpose.

"So those two old monsters from the Heavenly River Sect actually discovered the golden talisman key engraved with blood-corrosion runes again."

"This item is extremely rare! I never expected that there would be two of them hidden in this Insect Valley. How come we didn't notice them when our master led us in earlier? Hehehe!"

The two Devouring Rats hid in the excavated void passage, keeping a distance and secretly observing the movements of the Dry Cicada and Yin Lingzi.

"Don't act rashly yet. Let's go back and report this to our master before making a decision. Besides, our master has no interest in the demon race's immortal abode," Fairy Blue Ice said calmly.

The Devouring Rat waved its black steel fork and said with a sly grin, "But that golden talisman key is really valuable; it can be exchanged for a lot of good things."

The two then continued to observe from the shadows.

The true spirit bloodline divine abilities they unleashed were so powerful that even the two old monsters in the late stage of the Void Refinement realm couldn't easily detect them.

Furthermore, possessing the terrifying speed of the Blue Ice Fairy, which even those in the Fusion stage cannot catch up with, they are therefore fearless.

Meanwhile, the two members of the Tianhe Sect were still fighting a ferocious insect and had no time to pay attention to the situation around them.

This also allowed the Sky-Eating Rats to take advantage of the situation.

This place is located inside the ruins of a building within the Insect Valley, which appears to be a nest built by some kind of ancient ferocious insect.

The environment inside is intricate and winding, yet the space is extremely spacious.

The outer swarm of insects had been cleared away. The only truly terrifying creature was a black, ferocious insect at the deepest part, a sixth-order perfected level. It resembled a centipede, had a thousand legs, black wings on its back, and was extremely fast.

at this time.

Even Yin Lingzi, who was renowned throughout the cultivation world as the Insect Demon and controlled his swarm of insects, was no match for this ferocious insect.

"Elder Yin, retreat quickly!"

Ku Chanzi, with sharp eyes, stared at the thousand-legged ferocious insect in front of him and quickly transmitted his voice.

The instant the message was received.

With a flick of his sleeve, Yin Lingzi collected the swarm of blood-red insects and retreated.

Followed by.

Suddenly, Ku Chanzi produced a jade bottle and used his magic to throw it at the thousand-legged worm below.

The jade bottle contained the essence of the Azure Sky Tree's core that the two of them had exchanged with Qin Ming, which was used to prepare a special medicinal liquid.

As the green light burst forth, it transformed into a large mist of light that landed on the back of the black, ferocious insect.

In an instant, the originally violent and ferocious insect seemed to be hypnotized and fell into a deep sleep and coma.

Seeing that it actually worked, Ku Chanzi couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face, and said to Yin Lingzi behind him:
"I never expected that guy surnamed Li could actually cultivate a Sky Tree of the sixth rank or higher. We really have to thank this kid for it this time."

Yin Lingzi flew back and saw the thousand-legged black insect unconscious. His eyes revealed an extremely greedy look.

As someone who has been immersed in the world of insects for many years.

It would be a lie to say that one is not interested in this rare and ferocious insect.

He immediately took out a specially made insect bag, and was about to put it in his pouch when he saw the withered cicada quickly stop him:

"Elder Yin, you absolutely must not."

"This special spiritual liquid can only keep this creature unconscious for half an incense stick's time. If you forcibly take it, you will immediately disturb it."

"The important matter at hand is what matters right now!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Lingzi immediately stopped what he was doing and looked up at a boulder near the insect nest, where two golden talisman keys lay, emitting bursts of golden light.

Then, the two of them used their speed to leap over the enormous black insect and arrived nearby, easily taking the two golden talismans into their hands.

The two from the Tianhe Sect simultaneously revealed joyful smiles, signifying that they too had officially gained the qualification to enter the Immortal Abode Secret Realm.

Secretly, the two beasts, the Sky-Devouring Rat and the Sky-Devouring Rat, seeing this scene, also felt that they had done enough to find out the purpose of their investigation.

So, it transmitted a few words to the Blue Ice Fairy:

"Let's go. I didn't expect those two old guys to actually succeed. We need to hurry back and report to our master."

Immediately, the two of them silently left through the void passage.

Just as the two old monsters of the Tianhe Sect achieved their goal and burst into wild laughter, Yin Lingzi suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Immediately afterwards, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face.

He used his vast divine sense to survey the entire insect valley, but found nothing except for the continuous surging of insect hordes.

"What's wrong, Elder Yin?" Ku Chanzi asked immediately upon seeing his appearance.

Yin Lingzi withdrew his divine sense and said with a somewhat suspicious expression, "It's nothing. I just had a feeling that someone was secretly coveting it. I guess I was mistaken."

But the next moment.

Perhaps it was Yin Lingzi's powerful divine sense that disturbed the high-level beings in this ancient insect valley.

Several powerful auras, following the divine sense, relentlessly pursued the place where the two were sitting.

"not good!!"

The two old monsters also sensed the changes within the valley. Several auras emanated from it, and even the two with their profound cultivation felt a sense of fear.

Therefore, without saying a word, they transformed into two streaks of light and flew directly out of the valley. ...

It only took half a day.

The Devouring Rat, with its dashing figure and black steel fork in hand, stood majestically on the back of the Ice Crystal Nether Sparrow.

With a violent spatial fluctuation, the Ice Crystal Netherbird folded its huge wings and landed on the main peak.

"Master, we're back!"

"Good heavens, those two old bastards, just as you predicted, Master, after taking the tree core essence, they didn't go to treat some ancestor, but instead used it to drug the ferocious insects and steal the treasure."

The Devouring Rat immediately reported everything it had heard to Qin Ming in detail.

After a while.

After listening to the information that the Devouring Sky Rat had secretly gathered, Qin Ming couldn't help but show a look of realization.

"I never expected that the key to the Golden Talisman for entering the Immortal Abode also existed in that Insect Valley."

"In that case, the Immortal Abode Secret Realm in the Demon Race's Spirit Realm must be inextricably linked to the Crimson Water Wasteland Insect Valley."

However, Qin Ming had little interest in these golden talisman keys or entering the secret realm to seek opportunities.

So, he praised the two Devouring Rat and sent them back to the Lesser Spirit Realm to cultivate.

Meanwhile, atop the main peak, on the Azure Sky Tree from which three drops of its core essence had been extracted, Tian Ling'er was casting a spell, using the purple spiritual energy she had cultivated to restore the tree to its original state.

Not long after, the entire Azure Sky Tree became lush and green again, and the previously withered branches were once again full of vitality.

Qin Ming continued to have Tian Ling'er take care of the Heavenly Tree until new tree core essence was produced.

He himself returned to his cave and began meditating and cultivating the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique".

In an instant, as the Void Refining stage technique "Mayfly Technique" was activated, a faint phantom of a spiritual plant appeared behind Qin Ming.

After a century of in-depth cultivation of his techniques, his immortal body has also grown considerably.

With each breath, the continuous flow of primordial energy from heaven and earth, transformed through the immortal body, became streams of ethereal energy that entered Qin Ming's primordial spirit within his Purple Mansion.

……

In the Chishui Wasteland, thousands of miles away in the sky from the Insect Valley.

Two enormous beams of light arrived in an instant, one after the other, and stopped in mid-air.

The light dissipated, revealing two Void Refinement elders from the Heavenly River Sect.

They dared not stop for a moment, fleeing thousands of miles away. The two old monsters, who were extremely cunning, also showed signs of being shaken.

"Elder Ye, what was that just now?"

"Could it be that seventh-tier ancient ferocious insect that severely injured our sect's patriarch?"

"Why do I feel such a terrifying sense of dread? I've never even felt this way from a Nascent Soul stage expert." Yin Lingzi, the insect demon, was also startled by the ferocious insect.

If they had arrived any later, the two of them would probably have been reunited inside the insect's belly.

"I'm afraid that's the case. I didn't expect that the ferocious insect hadn't left yet and was still entrenched inside the insect valley."

"However, something must have happened in the Insect Valley this time. This fang did not chase after us. It seems that a ferocious insect of this level cannot escape the gray fog."

Kuchanzi said with a slight lingering fear.

"However, our risky journey into the Insect Valley to search for treasure was all worthwhile. Fortunately, we achieved our goal, obtaining the Golden Talisman Key and the qualification to enter the Immortal Abode Secret Realm."

Having said that, he took out one of the golden talisman keys and handed it to Yin Lingzi, then said:

"There's no time to lose. The Immortal Abode Secret Realm has already opened, and many people are searching for the whereabouts of the Golden Talisman. Some fellow Daoists have even gotten there first."

"Even the Grand Commander in the Purple Gold Armor somehow obtained the Golden Talisman and rushed ahead to seize the opportunity of the Integration Realm."

"Let's set off for the Demon Realm right away."

After taking the golden talisman, Yin Lingzi smiled slightly on her withered face: "That's only natural."

"However—before that, I have some personal matters to attend to. Elder Ye, please go ahead. I will come to meet you after I have finished my business."

"Oh? Elder Yin, is there anything more urgent than the matter of the Immortal Abode Secret Realm?" Ku Chanzi asked in surprise upon hearing this.

However, Yin Lingzi seemed reluctant to say more: "Hehe, it's just a private matter, nothing to mention, I'll be here soon."

Seeing this, Ye Kuchan of the Zhitian Palace blinked a few times and then slowly nodded, "Alright, then hurry up."

"There must be many demons and monsters in that immortal abode. Only by joining forces can we resist some unnecessary risks."

"Well, it's a deal."

After exchanging a few words, the two flew off in different directions.

Yin Lingzi's gaze held a strange meaning, as he thought to himself:
"I never expected that the tree core elixir would actually be so effective against ancient ferocious insects."

"It greatly enhances my skills in controlling insects."

Immediately, his entire figure became blurred and disappeared into the void.

It actually fled towards the Kunlun Domain.
