Chapter 170: God King Jiang Taixu, Beiyu is about to be in chaos!

"I will go over, wait a moment!"

After Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and confirmed that God King Jiang Taixu was secretly recuperating in the Dragon Transformation Pool within Shencheng.

He plucked two more mature spiritual herbs from the Plantation, then extracted the Immortal Substance from these herbs and fused it into a pill.

Estimating that it could extend a person's life by about a thousand years, he then stopped his work.

To others, Immortal Substance is the most precious, but to Zhang Xuan, this stuff is too abundant, especially after the Plantation was placed in the Shenmu World.

The spiritual herbs that grow there all carry rich Immortal Substance, and even the Flat Peaches originally plucked from the Yitian World, when sown there, can carry rich Immortal Substance.

However, the spiritual herbs sown there sometimes naturally shed a few seeds after maturing, which then drift out of the Plantation, and even Zhang Xuan cannot accurately track their traces.

"It doesn't look like it's being secretly picked by someone, but rather synthesized by some kind of Heaven and Earth rule. I borrowed the rich Heaven and Earth Essence and nearly infinite Immortal Substance from the Shenmu World, so I must also give back a portion to this world. This is a peculiar method..."

Zhang Xuan felt the changes within and could not help but be a bit distracted. With the Chat Group's ability, it is possible to intercept all the harvests, but it deliberately lets a portion of the spiritual herbs return to the world.

Such behavior is more like a peculiar act of feedback, not incurring any karmic consequences.

Borrowing and returning!

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment, wanting to touch upon more, but with his existing strength and realm, he could not comprehend it.

"Forget it, thinking about this now is too far off. So the one stealing the vegetables isn't a normal person, but a world itself. No wonder there would be some losses when planting in other worlds."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and returned his consciousness to reality. It was still just one step to cross a vast distance, still the Wordless Secret, but this time the journey was not accompanied by a golden road.

The Wordless Secret can be displayed high-profile in front of people, and it can also travel low-profile.

Before, it was manifesting as a saint in front of people, it was a tribulation, so naturally, it could be high-profile, but now, it is to save God King Jiang Taixu.

The whereabouts and situation of God King Jiang Taixu are currently in a state of secrecy, and others do not know, so it needs to be low-profile.

Shencheng is still the same as usual, with figures from various major sects gathering here, showing no waves.

But when Zhang Xuan walked in Shencheng, he could feel that the atmosphere of Shencheng seemed a bit more tense than usual, and everywhere people were discussing the bell toll from not long ago.

"What happened? Why does it feel like the aura of an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon awakening?"

"That bell toll vibrated melodiously and could be heard across the entire Eastern Wasteland. Has another Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon appeared in the world?"

"But among the various great families and sects, I haven't heard of any bell-shaped Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon."

"Could it be that legendary Immortal Bell?"

"Peerless figures have followed the sound and already discovered that area. It is a magnificent purple mountain. Peerless figures from the Demon Race and figures from the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family have appeared there, but they suffered a crushing defeat and seem to have suffered a great loss inside."

"That place seems to be a top-tier tomb, seemingly burying a Great Emperor, suspected to be related to that invincible Great Emperor from eighty thousand years ago."

"You mean?"

"It should be that Wushi Dadi who pushed across all enemies. His tomb has appeared? And it's in this area of Shencheng?"

Many figures in Shencheng were discussing this news, and from time to time, streams of light flew up, rushing toward the area of Purple Mountain.

Everyone's thoughts became active and extremely excited.

The tomb of a Great Emperor has appeared, and it is the invincible Great Emperor from eighty thousand years ago. His Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon is circulating in that area, and one would think his scriptures are also in that area.

If one could obtain the inheritance of this Great Emperor, one would definitely be able to establish an immortal Holy Land and would absolutely be able to become one of the few powerful sects in heaven and earth.

It is unknown how many people gathered toward that area; the entire Shencheng had an urge to boil over.

"Did the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family obtain the inheritance in Purple Mountain? They went in carrying an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, so they must have succeeded, right?"

"If it fell into their hands, then we have nothing to gain. Sigh! The life of a rogue cultivator is truly bitter!"

"I heard they failed this time. Someone saw figures from the Jiang Family escorting a big shot running into Shencheng, seemingly severely injured and about to pass away, and is currently recuperating at the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"It's not just the Jiang Family; I heard the Demon Race also lost several big shots, and many among the Thirteen Great Bandits also died in this chaos. That Purple Mountain is truly a demon's den."

"The tomb of a Great Emperor is truly extraordinary. I wonder if we have a chance to go over and get a share of the spoils."

Many practitioners were discussing it, and the discussion was heated. Compared to the appearance of the Demon Emperor's tomb in the Eastern Wasteland Southern Region, the appearance of Wushi Dadi's tomb in Beiyu this time was much more turbulent.

After all, when the tomb appeared in the Eastern Wasteland Southern Region, many Holy Lands and families blocked the road in advance, and in the end, they even used a great array to completely seal off that area.

Except for the rogue cultivators who got a share of the spoils at the very beginning, no one else had a chance to get more things inside afterward.

Instead, a group of people suffered heavy casualties.

The current situation has not changed much, but because Purple Mountain is too dangerous, the Holy Lands and families have no way to completely seal off that area, so many figures have developed different thoughts.

The lives of figures in families and Holy Lands are relatively precious; they cherish them, and if there is the slightest mistake, they must act carefully.

But the lives of rogue cultivators have never been worth anything, and anyway, rogue cultivators have nothing.

They have neither glory and wealth, nor earth-shattering cultivation, nor the Great Emperor's scriptures and supreme secret arts.

All they can rely on is their own life to go into Purple Mountain and venture; perhaps they can defy the heavens and change their fate. Anyway, they have nothing left to lose.

Therefore, the entire Shencheng became turbulent, and countless streams of light rushed toward Purple Mountain. As for the Jiang Family having a big shot severely injured and dying, recuperating in the Dragon Transformation Pool, not many people cared.

Zhang Xuan listened sideways, slightly distracted, but soon withdrew his gaze and looked at the Dragon Transformation Pool in front of him.

Others cannot sense the Dragon Transformation Pool, but Zhang Xuan can sense that this place has already been sealed by a powerful aura.

There is a Transmitted Saint Weapon suppressing this place, making it impossible for others to enter.

In the dark, there should also be hidden Great Emperor Array Patterns, and Zhang Xuan even suspects that an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon might be lying in ambush here.

But because taking out an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon to use directly would cause too much momentum and action, and the Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon slightly awakening would also make people feel infinitely terrified and make people notice something wrong, it is just lurking in the darkness and not directly used.

Under normal circumstances, others would not notice anything wrong, but Zhang Xuan's divine sense is sharp, especially since he feels very unsafe and very dangerous, and he maintains a connection with the Nine-Orifice Stone Man at all times.

Under such conditions, his senses throughout his life are sharp to an incredible degree.

"Arrived... have we arrived?"

Zhang Xuan was still examining the surrounding environment, and that Demon Race elder was already looking at the surrounding environment with some surprise. Just now, Zhang Xuan took a step and walked, and he was directly brought by Zhang Xuan's side, actually crossing such a long distance with him in an instant and arriving at the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"Yes, arrived. Go and report!"

Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry to walk inside. At this moment, the security around the Dragon Transformation Pool is strict. Once it triggers the other party's misunderstanding and an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon is pressed down, not many people can handle it.

The Demon Race elder was surprised for a moment, but upon thinking of the specialness Zhang Xuan had shown before, he quickly returned to normal and walked inside.

And not long after being inside, a figure at the Second Layer of the Immortal Platform Realm walked out, their expression calm and composed, with a full face of smiles, taking the initiative to lead Zhang Xuan inside.

"I am Jiang Heng, a descendant of the God King. I must thank you, Senior, for your guidance earlier."

This was a middle-aged figure; sensing the fluctuations of Qi and blood within his body, he must have lived for several hundred years, perhaps even longer, and was at the Immortal Platform Second Layer realm, which could be considered quite impressive, qualifying as a Saint Master-level figure at the current stage.

Only the controllers of the various Holy Lands and families could reach this realm; of course, the level of strength between those in the same realm also differed vastly.

However, any figure who reaches this realm can be called a Saint Master-level figure, and this point alone shows the profound foundation of a Desolate Ancient Family.

This figure was quite courteous to Zhang Xuan; the Demon Race, acting as the bridge-builders in this incident, had revealed some of Zhang Xuan's existence, though naturally, they did not say much.

During their brief conversation, Zhang Xuan learned from him the relevant situation reported by the Demon Race: the Demon Race claimed that an old fossil-level figure within the Demon Race had discovered traces of the God King Jiang Taixu in Purple Mountain, and thus informed the Jiang Family.

"How is the God King recovering now?"

Knowing that his own status and position were special, Zhang Xuan did not overly conceal this question; when he asked it, a look of worry appeared on the face of that descendant of the God King.

"The situation is not very good. The God King ancestor has been trapped in this mountain for nearly four thousand years. I don't even know how the God King ancestor managed to endure it, but having lasted to this point, he is already nearing the end of his rope..."

It was much the same as what Zhang Xuan had understood: the state of the God King Jiang Taixu was extremely poor, yet the Jiang Family dared not directly reveal the God King's specific condition, nor did they dare to openly collect Medicine Kings or top-tier spirit herbs similar to Undying Divine Medicine.

Life-extending spirit herbs are precious and special at any time, firmly controlled by the various Holy Lands and families, and it is very difficult to obtain them in a short period.

It is even the case that every year one can hear of old Saint Masters with little lifespan remaining, or old royals of the Central Plains Dynasty, going into a Forbidden Land to try their luck, hoping to pluck an Undying Divine Medicine.

Therefore, the entire current environment has fallen into a predicament.

The God King Jiang Taixu is known as the number one in attack in the Eastern Region over the past five thousand years; this title was not something praised mutually between friends, but rather fought for with real strength.

Divine Bodies and King Bodies of the same generation all had multiple individuals die at the hands of the God King Jiang Taixu.

Moreover, this was the combat record of the God King Jiang Taixu from a thousand years ago; now that four thousand years have passed, if those rivals are still alive and have made further breakthroughs on their original foundations, it is hard to imagine how terrifying those figures would be.

Therefore, the Jiang Family has temporarily fallen into another stalemate, briefly using the Dragon Transformation Pool to stabilize the Qi, blood, and physique of Jiang Taixu, hoping to let the God King Jiang Taixu recover as soon as possible.

However, it is also difficult to keep the news of this place sealed forever; if they wait for some more days and Jiang Taixu has still not recovered, the information about this place will sooner or later spread, attracting the attention of those with ulterior motives, which would still be very troublesome.

"Oh, I actually have some means to help with this!"

Before coming here, Zhang Xuan already had some expectations regarding this matter, so he did not overthink it at this moment and spoke directly.

Seeing the look of surprise on Jiang Heng's face, Zhang Xuan took out from his bosom the "Nine-Turn Immortal Pill" remnant pill he had refined not long ago.

"This is a remnant pill I produced when I failed to refine a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill earlier..."

Jiang Heng was initially a bit indifferent; after all, although Zhang Xuan's strength and realm were terrifying in his perception, for such a person to refine a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill was somewhat laughable. He was from a Desolate Ancient Family, what kind of good things had he not seen? Trying to deceive him with nonsense would not work.

But as Zhang Xuan opened the stopper of the jade bottle, his expression suddenly changed.

Rich Immortal Substance flowed out from the jade bottle; just by taking a light breath, he felt his entire body's Qi and blood become a bit more lively, and it even seemed as if his lifespan had briefly increased.

"This..."

At this, Jiang Heng was immediately unable to remain calm; divine light erupted from his eyes, and he stared at the jade bottle without blinking.

After sensing it carefully, he discovered that the jade bottle was filled with rich Immortal Substance.

The only thing that felt distressing, or even extremely regrettable, was that although the medicinal ingredients had formed a pill, the pill was pitch black.

Some of the medicinal materials within seemed quite precious, yet at this moment, they did not have much medicinal efficacy left, having flowed away for the most part, which was why this batch of Nine-Turn Immortal Pill refining had failed.

And according to legend, the refining of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill requires the use of a mature Undying Divine Medicine, and as for the other auxiliary materials, they are also supremely precious.

Looking at such a waste pill, or rather a remnant pill, of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, endless regret arose in Jiang Heng's heart.

"It actually failed!"

Zhang Xuan casually placed the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill remnant pill in front of Jiang Heng; Jiang Heng received it with extreme care, his hands even trembling slightly.

"The great kindness of Senior to my Jiang Family is something this junior will never forget; there will surely be a reward in the future!"

This Saint Master-level figure spoke with firm words and, without stopping his pace, headed directly toward the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Zhang Xuan was not excluded either and was brought along by the other party to the side of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Some people there wanted to block them, but upon learning that Zhang Xuan had brought out a remnant pill of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, they immediately had nothing to say.

A remnant pill of a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill could roughly be estimated to increase one's lifespan by a thousand years; such a peerless divine object could drive countless people mad.

There was absolutely no need to bring out such a treasure to plot against the God King.

Moreover, it was the other party who informed them that the God King was in Purple Mountain.

If the other party wanted to plot against the God King, they could have just gone to Purple Mountain when the God King was at his weakest; why go through so much trouble?

After understanding the situation, a group of Jiang Family figures even looked at Zhang Xuan with very reverent eyes.

Zhang Xuan did not take it to heart; he broke through the heavy blockades, walked to the side of the Dragon Transformation Pool, and finally saw the peerless God King Jiang Taixu.
