One after another, astonishingly lethal crimson lightning bolts rained down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouts filled with shock and anger echoed from nearby as several Pseudo Core Cultivators who guarded the mining area also rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they never had a chance to provide backup. Ling Qiyue appeared suddenly and intercepted them halfway, and a sky-blotting torrent of Sword Auras instantly descended upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spray of blood erupted, and the shrill, venomous curses came to an abrupt end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their mangled bodies collapsed to the ground, their Divine Souls were likewise devoured by the Era Star Palace, leaving them no chance of escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ling Changqing had shattered the opposing True Pill Cultivator’s Defense. The Cloud Serpent Sword descended like a torrent, severing one of his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the man watched in utter terror, another crimson bolt of lightning fell, obliterating his head and Divine Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, the remaining True Pill Cultivator shot backward, clearly intending to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ling Changqing, his hands now free, gave him no such opportunity and easily cut him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the man fighting desperately for his life, Ling Changqing still beheaded him within just a few exchanges, and his Divine Soul Origin was devoured by the Era Star Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that’s it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing glanced around. The four Daoist Soldier Puppets had been hacked to pieces, and all the enemy Cultivators were now corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were just a bunch of small fry. Isn’t it perfectly normal for them to be taken care of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Qiyue said with a smile. In her hands were about a dozen Storage Magical Artifacts, all of which were spoils she had collected from those Pseudo Core Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the worry of an unexpected mishap, Ling Changqing could have dealt with all the Cultivators here by himself. It would have just taken a bit more time; she wouldn’t have even needed to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Luo Qingxuan, the Nascent Soul True Monarch, she never even got a chance to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, what do you think we should do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Long Nu’s tall, voluptuous, and fiery form appeared, and she wrapped her arms around him for a kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing mused, \"First, let’s loot all the valuables here, and then... I suppose we wait for their reinforcements to arrive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Grand Array, the Low Grade Cultivators had all fled by now. The leadership of the Cangyu Islands would likely receive the news very soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the next wave of reinforcements would inevitably include Golden Core Masters, possibly more than one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go loot the valuables first,\" Ling Qiyue said with a beaming smile. \"Since this is a Spirit Stone Vein, there must be a good number of refined and cut Spirit Stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them then began to search the depths of the mining area, stuffing every valuable resource they found into their Storage Pouches to be carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they found any remaining Cultivators on guard, they slaughtered them without exception, but they left the commoners unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mining area was enormous, like a vast underground city. After several hundred years of excavation, the mountain’s interior was almost completely hollowed out, with wide tunnels running hundreds, even thousands of meters deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several hours of looting, their final haul was not as large as they had expected, especially when it came to Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even including all the wealth those Cultivators had embezzled, the total came to no more than about twenty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this Spirit Stone Vein had been mined for several hundred years; most of the profits had already been squeezed dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not bad. A decent windfall, all things considered,\" Ling Changqing muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Qiyue said thoughtfully, \"Let’s dismantle the Array Base of this Third Grade Array and take it with us. We absolutely cannot leave it for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing agreed. A complete Third Grade Array was quite valuable and not easy to come by. It would be perfect for taking back to protect important regions on the Changqing Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day later, the reinforcements from the Cangyu Islands arrived, full of aggression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Binglong personally led the group. With him came four Golden Core Masters and three True Pill Cultivators. In addition, there were nearly a hundred Pseudo Core and Foundation Establishment Cultivators combined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the sect’s main headquarters, he had left only two Golden Core Masters and two True Pill Cultivators behind to guard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What’s the situation inside? How many of them are there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a few disciples emerged from their hiding spots deep in the mountain forest to pay their respects, Gu Binglong questioned them, his expression icy.\u003C\u002Fp>",825,"2026-06-06T12:19:57.038Z",1,"novelbin.me","2278e4b026a07e2c5aabcf3ead7822f6098356f863443618eaec61f3d4e230cf","eternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-chapter-360","eternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-chapter-358",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
