Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

Chen Fan's gaze fell on the piles of metal fragments that were shimmering with residual spiritual light.

Some of these fragments exuded a chilling, ghostly aura, some were pieces of wood covered in poisonous patterns, and others were remnants of heavy armor as black as ink.

"These are all fragments of their natal magic weapons. Although they shattered in battle, the materials are all genuine Void Refinement level." Chen Fan sorted and collected the fragments. "They'll be excellent materials to remelt and refine later, whether for upgrading to the eleventh level or for forging new magic weapons."

After looting all the miscellaneous items and spirit stones from the four half-step Void Refinement cultivators, Chen Fan's gaze finally fell on the last dark red storage bag.

This is the storage bag of the Fire Source itself.

It was also the biggest spoils of this trip.

Chen Fan took a deep breath and probed into it with his vast divine sense.

The Fire Source itself had already been destroyed, and the restrictions on the storage bag were as good as useless, easily broken by him.

"Splash..."

When Chen Fan emptied the contents of his storage bag, Eunuch Wei stared wide-eyed, practically drooling.

"Holy crap! We're rich! Eunuch Chen, we've really struck it rich this time!"

On the altar, jewels and precious stones shot into the sky, their dazzling light illuminating the dark underground space with vibrant colors.

The first thing that catches the eye is a mountain of spirit stones!

These spirit stones are not ordinary top-grade spirit stones, but rather... immortal jade that exudes a purer and more terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation!

"A rough estimate suggests at least 100,000 Immortal Jade! This old monster not only looted those Nascent Soul cultivators he lured in, but he probably also retained the resources he had accumulated when he roamed the star field!" A hint of shock flashed in Chen Fan's eyes. 100,000 Immortal Jade—that's an absolutely terrifying fortune enough to buy a small to medium-sized cultivation country!

Besides the immortal jade, the most eye-catching items were the several magical treasures that exuded a terrifying aura.

Chen Fan reached out and beckoned a crimson ring-shaped magic weapon.

"This is... a late-stage Void Refinement magic weapon, the Nine Yang Divine Fire Ring?" Chen Fan felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the terrifying fire law contained within the ring, which was almost capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.

He remembered that the "Great Sun Tathagata" move that the Fire Source True Being used at the last moment seemed to have borrowed some of the power of this magic weapon.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was completely drained at the time, so he was unable to unleash the true power of this magic weapon. Otherwise, those four half-step Void Refinement cultivators would definitely not have lasted a single exchange.

Besides the Nine Yang Divine Fire Ring, there is also a top-grade defensive Nascent Soul stage magic weapon called "Mysterious Fire Shield," a "Crimson Gold Flying Sword" of unknown material engraved with ancient runes, and dozens of other Nascent Soul stage magic weapons in good condition and with considerable power.

These things were clearly what he had plundered from the Nascent Soul cultivators he had treated as food over the past three thousand years.

"These are all good things, I'll take them all." Chen Fan didn't stand on ceremony and put all these magical treasures into his storage bag.

At the very bottom of a pile of magical artifacts, Chen Fan also discovered several ancient jade slips.

He picked up one of the crimson jade slips and probed it with his divine sense.

"The Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique," Chen Fan whispered, reciting the contents of the jade slip.

This is actually a top-tier fire-attribute cultivation technique that points directly to the Mahayana stage!

It details how the Fire Source True Being cultivated step by step from a mortal to the Void Refinement stage, and even includes extremely profound insights into the Laws of Fire.

"Good stuff!" Chen Fan's eyes lit up. Although his main cultivation was swordsmanship and the fusion of immortal and demonic power, the understanding of laws in this technique would definitely have immeasurable reference value for his future breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage.

He put down the jade slip containing the cultivation technique and picked up another jade slip that was a deep blue color, like the starry sky.

As soon as his divine sense probed in, a vast and boundless starry sky immediately appeared in Chen Fan's mind!

This star map is incredibly detailed.

Countless twinkling stars marked the cultivation kingdom, forbidden areas, starfield routes, and even the distribution of various forces with different colors.

"This is... a star map of the Tianluo Star Region!"

Chen Fan found the coordinates marked "Fire Cloud Star" on the star map. According to the information in the jade slip, this Tianluo Star Region is one of the middle-level star regions of the Cultivation Alliance. Its vast territory and abundant resources are far superior to those of peripheral planets like Tiannan Star.

In this Tianluo Starfield, there are not only countless powerful cultivation families and sects, but also super experts at the Integration Stage and even the Great Ascension Stage!

"Tianluo Star Domain, Cultivation Alliance..."

Chen Fan gazed at the star map, his dark eyes gleaming with a profound light.

He knew that the arum was too small.

Even the strongest forces on Tiannan Star, such as the second-tier cultivation nation of Zhao, only have cultivators at the Refinement stage. Forces like the Great Yu Kingdom, the Boundless Sea, and the Great Desert Grasslands only have cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in command.

Even the Great Qin, a third-level cultivation nation that controls Tiannan Star, is like a drop in the ocean compared to the vast medium-sized star field, Tianluo Star Field.

"This star map is the most precious thing in this storage bag." Chen Fan solemnly put away the star map jade slip.

He knew that as his cultivation level improved, he would eventually have to leave Tiannan Star and go to the broader cultivation alliance to find the Mirror of Reincarnation.

This star map will be his guiding light as he ventures into the cosmos.

After looting all the spoils, Chen Fan was in high spirits. Although this trip was fraught with danger, the harvest was unprecedented.

"Eunuch Chen, what should we do with these old bones?" Eunuch Wei pointed to the five corpses on the ground, pinching his nose as he said, "They stink and are just polluting the environment if left here."

"Keep this safe; it might be useful later."

With a wave of his hand, Chen Fan put the withered corpse of the Fire Source True Body, as well as the remains of four half-step Void Refinement cultivators, into a storage bag specifically for storing miscellaneous items.

Even though the corpse of the Void Refining Old Monster has lost its vitality, the hardness of its bones is comparable to that of top-grade magic weapon materials. Whether it is used to refine the Tower Mountain or to extract the residual power of the laws within it, it is a priceless treasure.

After all this was done, the entire Blackstone Square was completely cleared out.

Chen Fan slowly stood up and turned to look at the dark red altar behind him, which was dozens of feet tall.

His gaze followed the steps of the altar downwards, finally settling on the bottomless, pitch-black abyss at the base of the altar.

"According to Old Dog Huoyuan, a true ancient immortal is suppressed beneath this altar. And the exit from this underground space is also hidden below."

Chen Fan's expression turned serious.

"Eunuch Chen, are we really going down there?" Eunuch Wei swallowed hard, looking at the dark abyss, a chill running down his spine. "Can we trust that old dog's words? What if it's a dead end, or there's an even more terrifying old monster waiting for us? Wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"
