Chapter 785 The Ruined Immortal Palace, Reunion with Silverwing

Inside the Immortal Abode Secret Realm.

As the world was engulfed in a devastating battle, the primordial energy of heaven and earth surged wildly.

However, the space of this immortal abode is extremely stable. No matter how fiercely the cultivators of the demon and monster races fought with the ancient flower spirits, nothing happened to them.

It is even more powerful than the interface power in the spirit world.

After witnessing such a commotion, Ye Kuchan and his two companions dared not rush over.

After a fierce battle, the spiritual energy of the Immortal Jade Mine began to leak out.

With their powerful Void Refinement Divine Sense, the three of them naturally discovered the astonishing amount of Immortal Jade stored there, and thus they all became interested in it.

"It turns out that both the demon and monster races have already begun to develop the immortal jade and spirit mines here."

"Such a large quantity of immortal jade, falling into their hands, what will become of us?" Tongshan of the Ancient Gold Clan said in a deep voice.

Xi Yan, a middle-aged cultivator from the Moon Shadow Clan, revealed a glint of shrewdness in his eyes and immediately said:

"Such an opportunity is right before us, what do you two think?"

"I think it's best not to take too many risks. Among the demon and monster races, there are many powerful individuals. Even they have fallen easily. If the three of us get involved, we will definitely have a hard time escaping, and our fate may not be good either. No matter how good this immortal jade is, you still need to be alive to enjoy it."

A rare hint of vigilance and seriousness appeared on Ye Kuchan's stern face.

He is a steady and shrewd person, and even when faced with the greatest temptation, he can remain calm.

"However, if such a large amount of immortal jade resources falls into the hands of the demon race, the consequences would be unimaginable."

As the three were pondering...

Boom! !
Ouch! !

A devastating magical power erupted from afar, causing the entire earth to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, a tall, dark blue-green demon wolf emerged from the ground, emanating a terrifying aura of a late-stage sixth-tier demon.

The mere ripples of the demonic aura caused everyone present to freeze in shock.

Following closely behind was another demon with two horns on its head and a pair of bat wings on its back. Its body was filled with enormous demonic energy, towering into the sky and standing upright. A black flame appeared behind it, and it held a flaming longsword in its hands.

A fierce battle ensued beneath the mine.

Both Ao Qing of the demon race and Mo Juluo of the demon race were forced to reveal their true forms and get serious due to the overwhelming ancient demon flowers.

"It's actually the Holy Son of the Azure Moon Wolf Clan!!"

"And the demon race's magical artifacts!"

Upon seeing this, Ye Kuchan's eyelids twitched violently, and he immediately transmitted his voice to the other two:

"We are no match for these two; let's leave immediately."

Even the Purple Gold Saint Armor Grand Commander of Tianxing City could only be on par with the Demon Artifact Luo, so Ye Kuchan was quite self-aware.

The burly man from the Ancient Gold Clan and Xi Yan from the Moon Shadow Clan were both startled upon hearing Ye Kuchan's words.

These two figures before them were among the most prominent in the Void Refinement Realm of both the demon and monster races; they had only heard of them before.

So the two nodded in agreement, and while the Flower Spirit Clan members were distracted by their battle, they prepared to leave secretly.

But in the sky, the tall blue wolf seemed to have sensed something, and its huge head turned towards them, its sinister gaze immediately fixed on the three of them.

The giant wolf opened its mouth and spat out a beam of azure light, which transformed into a vast array of wind blades that began to gather continuously in the void.

As more and more wind blades gathered, several terrifying tornadoes of wind rose from the ground, connecting heaven and earth, and swept towards the direction where the three were sitting!

Its terrifying supernatural power seemed capable of annihilating everything.

"Hmph! Want to run?"

"How dare you impersonate cultivators of our race and infiltrate the Immortal Abode Secret Realm in the name of my father! I'd like to see just what kind of alien race you are."

Then the enormous wolf head turned its head and said to Maguro, "Brother Maguro, you hold off this troublesome demon flower for a moment, I'll go and deal with these three scumbags first."

Immediately, the blue demon wolf vanished and flew towards Ye Kuchan and the other two.

Seeing Ao Qing of the Cangyue Wolf Clan coming after them, the three of them fled in different directions.

……

the other side.

The inner layer of the Linglong Immortal Abode Secret Realm.

After Qin Ming and Xuan Turtle God Lord had happily plundered some spiritual materials from the oasis, they continued to fly deeper into the oasis to explore.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, your tortoise pet must have an extraordinary bloodline, right?"

"It was actually able to easily block the demon's sword threads."

As Qin Ming flew away, he asked the Xuan Turtle God beside him.

Furthermore, he observed that this person had fought a fierce battle with the green figure transformed from the demonic flower, yet it seemed that he had not exerted his full strength and appeared to be handling everything with ease.

They really don't show off their abilities!
Therefore, people couldn't help but speculate about his true identity.

Such strength is clearly beyond the capabilities of an ordinary late-stage Void Refinement cultivator.

The Xuan Turtle Divine Lord simply smiled slightly, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Yin must have noticed as well, my spirit turtle does indeed possess a trace of the True Spirit Xuanwu's bloodline."

"Hehe! However, the purity of the bloodline it contains is limited, not much at all, and it is still far inferior to Fellow Daoist Yin's sharp insect swarm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"So it's the True Spirit Xuanwu bloodline, no wonder."

"Fellow Daoist Gu is truly blessed with extraordinary opportunities and luck, even managing to take the legendary Xuanwu bloodline spirit turtle as his pet."

"I hope that during this treasure hunt in the inner layer of the Immortal Abode, I can also benefit from your help."

Qin Ming immediately smiled and said to the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Yin is too kind. Perhaps I will have to rely on you then," said the Xuan Turtle Divine Lord meaningfully.

The two men, both practitioners of the Daoist arts, exchanged words and seemed to be deep in thought.
As their relationship deepened...

However, they discovered that the deeper they went into the inner layer of this immortal abode, the stronger the stench of insects became.

Almost the entire inner world has been polluted, leaving a desolate scene.

Everything had been devoured by the insects, leaving it bare, without a single intact plant.

It's like two completely different worlds from the outer region.

The scene they had imagined, filled with unexpected opportunities and hidden treasures, did not materialize.

On the contrary, every now and then, there would be extremely ferocious giant swarms of insects.

Even Qin Ming and his companion had no choice but to conceal their presence and avoid the massive swarm of insects.

Another half day passed.

Before Qin Ming and his companion appeared a vast complex of buildings, with magnificent palaces and pavilions standing tall and suspended atop auspicious clouds.

It looks exactly like a mirage.

However, the celestial palaces before them were not so illusory, but rather a real and tangible existence.

A sense of vastness and antiquity, as if it had endured countless ages, rushed towards us in an instant.

However, they only realized this when they got closer.

The celestial abode was now densely covered with insect nests, making it appear dilapidated.

Qin Ming and his companion's expressions tightened, and they immediately found a secluded spot, concealed their presence, and began to observe from the shadows.

Beneath the ruined celestial palace, countless swarms of insects, moving in droves, were carrying flesh and blood plundered from the outside world. They appeared to be alien races from some celestial realm.

Upon seeing the scene before them, Qin Ming and his companion exchanged a glance.

"This place must be the core of the Linglong Immortal Mansion, but how did it become like this, completely occupied by insects?"

The Xuan Turtle God originally thought that after going through so many hardships to reach the location of the Immortal Palace, the opportunity was about to be obtained.

But to everyone's surprise, the scene before them was so unexpected.

Due to the influence of the insect filth, the two people's spiritual power was blocked, and they could only see the situation not far away when they got close.

Qin Ming's heart suddenly stirred.

In an instant, he sensed the aura of his spirit pet, the Silverwing Frost Bee, with perfect clarity.

And it was in one of the dilapidated palaces that was suspended in mid-air.

"Master, what brings you here?"

A woman's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Clearly, the Silverwing Frost Bees inside had also sensed his presence.

"Of course I came to find you, and I also came here to find out what's going on."

Qin Ming had a thought and immediately replied through telepathy.

……

The outer area of ​​the Immortal Abode.

The demonic cultivators of the Flower Spirit Clan fought for hundreds of rounds without a clear victor. However, the Immortal Jade Mine was largely destroyed by the impact of the battle.

Countless immortal jades fell into the void rifts and disappeared without a trace.

This made the cultivators of both the demon and monster races look grim and feel extremely pained.

The Flower Spirit Clan members seemed completely unconcerned about the falling of these immortal jade and spirit ore.

However, it seems to be due to some reason.

These Flower Spirit Clan cultivators were unable to cross the mine's boundaries. After annihilating most of the demon and monster cultivators, they retreated back into the depths of the mine like a tide.

Before leaving, the most powerful green figure raised his hand and summoned the Green Emperor Sword back into his hand, glaring fiercely at Demon Artifact Luo and uttering a harsh threat:

"Hmph! You demon brat, I'll remember you. If it weren't for the many restrictions here that prevent me from using my abilities, I would have already cut you down with my sword."

"If any of you dare to plot against this place again, you will surely die!"

Having said that, his figure transformed into a phantom of a demonic flower and vanished from the spot in an instant.

On Maguro's demonic body, several horrific wounds were slashed by the little green figure with a sword.

He watched the other person leave with a deep gaze, then stretched out his demonic claw and released a surge of demonic energy to begin healing his injuries.

Whoosh!
at this time.

Ao Qing, the demon who had just gone out to chase Ye Kuchan and the other two, also returned. With a wave of his hand, he threw the two heads over with a 'thud'.

It was none other than the Ancient Gold Clan's Copper Mountain and the Moon Shadow Clan's Xi Yan.
He said with a sinister look in his vertical pupils, "Damn it, we only wiped out two infiltrated alien races. There was also an old guy who was quite cunning and got away."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, are you alright?"

Hearing the other party's insincere greeting, Maguro simply continued to heal his injuries.

After a long while, he glanced at the corpses on the ground and said, "These alien races that have infiltrated are all insignificant."

"On the contrary, those strange Flower Spirits are extremely troublesome."

"Beneath this mine, there must be a passage leading to the inner layer of the Immortal Abode, but it has been occupied by them."

"I just fought with that demon spirit. This person possesses superb sword skills, which should have been passed down from within the Immortal Abode."

"And he probably hasn't reached the peak of his cultivation yet, otherwise Brother Ao Qing, he wouldn't be able to see me."

Ao Qing had naturally experienced the green little man's swordsmanship firsthand and knew its sharpness; the sword threads were practically indestructible wherever they struck.

Even the powerful physical bodies of the demon and monster races could not withstand it.

"Then what happens next?"

"According to my soul search, two of them were human cultivators who must have secretly crossed the barrier and entered the inner layer of the Immortal Abode's secret realm."

Ao Qing frowned and said.

"I don't know how they managed to get in there."

"I have searched every area where the two of them have been, but I have not found any useful clues."

After a moment's thought, a chilling glint appeared in his eyes, and he said calmly:
"Then let's just wait and see. They'll come out sooner or later after they've made their fortune inside."

With the location marked by the golden talisman, and the two of us taking action ourselves, they won't be able to escape this time.

Ao Qing agreed with him, but still asked, "But what if they try to get out from the inner area through other means?"

Moju Luo shook his head and explained calmly, "No, Brother Ao Qing, don't worry. I just learned from that demon spirit that the inner space seems to be completely sealed off, and even the Flower Spirit Clan is restricted and unable to reach the outside world."

Upon hearing this, Ao Qing suddenly realized what was happening and immediately agreed to Mogu Luo's plan.

Subsequently.

His attention then turned to the surrounding area, and upon seeing the demon cultivators who were mostly dead or wounded, he couldn't help but feel his veins bulge.

After all, the cultivators he brought in were all highly promising individuals among the demon race, and now they have all perished in the mouths of that demonic flower.

……

Time passed bit by bit.

Inside the inner layer of the Immortal Abode, not far beneath the dilapidated Immortal Palace.

Qin Ming continued to communicate secretly with Silver Wing through the telepathic connection between master and servant.

It has been a hundred years since Silverwing broke through to the sixth rank in the Lesser Spirit Realm.

However, the master and servant were not too estranged.

After exchanging pleasantries, Silverwing seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying to Qin Ming:

“Master, you really shouldn’t have come here, and you didn’t need to take this risk for me.”

Upon their reunion, Silverwing Frost Bee revealed the current situation of the Immortal Abode Secret Realm without any concealment.

"This Spiritual Abode, after hundreds of thousands of years of dissipation, has very few opportunities left within it; they have all fallen into the mouth of an ancient locust that is about to awaken."

"The only thing that still has some value is the immortal jade mine outside. However, for a long time, the Insect King has been driving the Flower Spirit Clan to mine immortal jade for him. It is estimated that it has been almost completely mined out."

"An ancient moth about to resurrect? Silverwing, what on earth is going on?" Qin Ming was stunned when he heard this explosive news.

Silverwing explained, "It was the Calamity-Calamity Worm, one of the three ancient calamities. After I devoured its eggs, I not only regained my life and greatly increased my strength, but also awakened my memories from my bloodline."

"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Wasn't it said that they would release that true immortal from the lower realm to perish together with him?" Qin Ming asked in surprise.

If a disaster of this magnitude were to recur.
Wouldn't that bring peace to the demon race, and even to the entire spirit realm?
"The Insect King was extremely powerful. While self-destructing with that True Immortal, it used the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique, leaving behind its core primordial power as a backup plan for rebirth."

"Then, as this moth was dying, its demonic essence split into countless parts, falling into the eggs it had laid, preparing to be reborn and then refine its essence to completely restore its peak strength."

"As luck would have it, one of the insect eggs I devoured in that void insect nest contained a wisp of its life essence, and my bloodline fused with it."

"And that source of the moth is about to be born within the Immortal Palace. I am guarding this place for that very reason."

"Once the source is devoured, the power of the other moths will all return to the original body. Therefore, only one of me and that moth can remain."
