Chapter 280: Millennium Spirit Herbs, the Hua Shen Yao Yuan

One month later.

News has once again arrived from the Transformation God Relic of the Kurong Sect.

Although they broke through the Forbidden Array of this Transformation God Relic, they only managed to enter the outer perimeter.

Of course, even so, the outer perimeter is quite vast.

After all, the entire island has a diameter of over one million kilometers, and the outer perimeter is at least several hundred thousand li.

Among them, most of the island's area consists of dense forests, desolate and uninhabited.

But without a doubt, a great war has broken out.

The reason for the outbreak is simple: they found a massive Medicine Garden.

This Medicine Garden is planted with dense patches of Spirit Medicine.

Due to the long passage of time and no one harvesting them, the Spirit Medicine inside has reached a great age.

They are all at least Millennium Spirit Herbs.

Among them is the Millennium Spirit Herb Heaven-Mending Ganoderma, which is the main ingredient for the Fourth-Tier Treasure Pill, Heaven-Mending Pill; the Heaven-Mending Pill has astonishing effects, capable of mending all defects of the body, recovering various physical traumas, and even increasing the grade of one's Spirit Root.

Therefore, the Heaven-Mending Pill is enough to drive many Nascent Soul Cultivators mad.

After all, many Nascent Soul Cultivators have accumulated a large number of hidden injuries in their bodies due to hundreds of years of fighting, and it is precisely these hidden injuries that hinder them from advancing further.

If they were to consume a Heaven-Mending Pill, they would likely be able to continue their path of the Dao.

One might ask, which Nascent Soul Cultivator would not go mad for this?

There is also the Millennium Spirit Herb Heaven Origin Fruit, which is the main ingredient for the Fourth-Tier Treasure Pill, Heaven Origin Pill.

Consuming a Heaven Origin Pill gives one a certain probability of helping a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator break through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

This is also a pill that many Nascent Soul Cultivators crave immensely.

Besides this, there are many other Millennium Spirit Herbs, all of which are main ingredients for various Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills.

It is easy to imagine that the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators have gone completely mad.

Because the cultivation of Nascent Soul Cultivators is so difficult precisely because of the lack of many Ancient Era Spirit Medicines, making it impossible to refine Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills.

But now, this Medicine Garden is actually planted with so many Ancient Era Spirit Medicines and Millennium Spirit Herbs, meaning the refining of various Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills has become possible.

A Nascent Soul war broke out instantly.

In order to fight for these Millennium Spirit Herbs, the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators have dealt lethal blows, showing no mercy.

But what is rather unfortunate is that the aftermath of these Nascent Soul Cultivators' battle triggered the Forbidden Array left behind by the Kurong Sect.

Suddenly, this Five-Tier Array began to operate, erupting with terrifying power.

A large number of cultivators fell.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivators could not escape this disaster, meeting their deaths and having their souls extinguished.

Only a small number of cultivators were able to escape from the Medicine Garden.

But these survivors also carried a large amount of Millennium Spirit Herbs, having gained a bountiful harvest.

However, they were also surrounded and intercepted by other cultivators, hunted down from all sides.

The entire Transformation God Relic has turned into a chaotic mess.

At every moment, a large number of cultivators fall; this place has simply become a battlefield for the chaotic fighting of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

In order to snatch the opportunity to advance further, they would not show any mercy at all.

"I didn't expect the Transformation God Relic to be so chaotic, with major Nascent Soul Cultivators fighting in a melee."

"This sea area has already become a battlefield."

"Fortunately, my husband activated the Tier 4 High-Grade Array, the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array, in advance."

"Otherwise, Nascent Soul Cultivators would definitely have broken in, attempting to shift the disaster onto us."

Lin Yazhu felt extremely fortunate.

Over this past month, some Nascent Soul Cultivators with bountiful harvests escaped from the Transformation God Relic, but they were hunted by other Nascent Soul Ancestors; these Nascent Soul Cultivators even wanted to break into the Samsung Island Group, attempting to shift the disaster onto others.

They wanted to use the power of the Samsung Island Group to help them block their pursuers.

Unfortunately, her husband had the foresight to activate the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array in advance, sealing off this sea area.

Any Nascent Soul Cultivator attempting to break in would be met with thunderous strikes.

Seeing this scene, the many Nascent Soul Cultivators had no choice but to give up, not daring to trespass into the Samsung Island Group.

This also made the Samsung Island Group the only pure land in this sea area.

"Husband, why would there be so many Millennium Spirit Herbs in that Transformation God Relic?"

Chu Dieyi asked with great curiosity.

Because the number of Millennium Spirit Herbs in that Transformation God Relic was simply too high, to the point that it made many Nascent Soul Cultivators green with envy.

It is not as if Transformation God Relics have not appeared before.

But none of them had as many harvests as this Transformation God Relic.

"As for that, it naturally has a great deal to do with the Transformation God sect, the Kurong Sect."

"It is said that in the Ancient Era, the Kurong Sect itself was an Alchemy sect famous throughout the Canglan Sea."

"They were extremely skilled at planting Spirit Medicine and refining pills."

"Moreover, this Medicine Garden is merely one of the small Medicine Gardens within the Transformation God Relic."

"There are many more similar small Medicine Gardens on the island."

"It is said that in the core area of the Kurong Sect, there is also a Hua Shen Yao Yuan, where Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine is planted."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment and immediately shared the intelligence gathered by his clone.

After all, his clone has now also gone up to the outer perimeter of that Transformation God Relic, temporarily hiding itself by burrowing into the trees, where other cultivators cannot perceive it.

Therefore, he is also able to hear much intelligence, as if he had experienced it personally.

"Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine?"

"Doesn't that mean the Great Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage intend to break into the core area?"

Chu Dieyi widened her beautiful eyes.

She knew how crazy those Great Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage would be after learning this news; they had each been trapped at the Nascent Soul Late Stage for too long and all wanted to find the opportunity to break through and become a Transformation God.

Unfortunately, no such opportunity had ever appeared in the Canglan Sea before.

But now, the appearance of the Transformation God Relic and the Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine had brought them immense hope.

How could they bear to give up this opportunity? They would certainly be even more frantic.

"That's right, they do indeed have such intentions."

"That is why these Great Cultivators rarely pay attention to these small Medicine Gardens in the outer areas and have headed straight for the core area."

"Those competing for the Millennium Spirit Herbs are basically Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Early Stage or Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

Zhou Sui nodded.

However, he did not think those Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators could break through the core area so easily; the Five-Tier Array in the core area and the Forbidden Array in the outer areas were completely incomparable.

His Array Heart Gu had been invading it all along.

Unfortunately, it had not succeeded in its invasion to this day.

If the Forbidden Array in the core area were truly triggered, it was uncertain how many Nascent Soul Cultivators would survive.

The strength of the Transformation God sect, the Kurong Sect, was no lie.

Its foundation was simply unfathomable.

"I wonder how Taohua Shangren is doing."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He had previously used a token to send a message to the other party; at that time, Taohua Shangren was with many Wuji Alliance Nascent Soul Cultivators, having fought their way into the Transformation God Relic.

Unfortunately, no news had come from Taohua Shangren to this day.

However, through the power of the Infatuation Gu, he could sense that Taohua Shangren's life force was still relatively vigorous.

There should be no immediate danger to life.

But he did not know what the situation would be like next; he only hoped that Taohua Shangren would not meet with any trouble.

Several days later.

In the dead of night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Xianxia Peak, in the bedroom.

"Husband, the effect of our cultivation tonight seems very good as well."

Shen Biqian's pretty face was flushed; she felt the Golden Core Dharma Power within her body increasing at a rapid pace.

Dual Cultivation with her husband once was better than several days of bitter cultivation on her own.

Because the effect was so good, she was almost addicted to bitter cultivation every day, unable to extricate herself.

If things continued like this, she would likely be able to attempt to form her Nascent Soul soon.

"Haha, that goes without saying."

"Now that the Golden Core Dharma Power within my body is thick, the help it provides to you is naturally immense."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin, looking at his Dao Companion's beautiful figure, and felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

As expected, bitter cultivation with his Dao Companion was better.

Why go on adventures in ruins, where one is constantly facing life-and-death situations?

Isn't it better to Dual Cultivate with one's Dao Companion and slowly improve one's cultivation?

Why risk one's life against other Cultivators?

Once a mistake is made, years of cultivation are destroyed in an instant, leading to death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

He felt that his life was very comfortable now.

"Hmm?!"

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui's heart stirred; he seemed to have sensed something and could not help but frown.

Waves of killing intent were released from his body.

"What is it, Husband? Could it be that something major has happened?"

Lin Yazhu and the others all looked at Zhou Sui, noticing his expression.

After all, Zhou Sui rarely showed such a serious expression.

"Yes, some Nascent Soul Cultivators have arrived at the edge of the Array."

"They are chasing Taohua Shangren; I will go over and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sui immediately put on his clothes, activated the Teleportation Gu, and arrived at the edge of the Array in an instant.

He flew in mid-air, looking at the sea area ahead.

In the high sky not far away, several streaks of light were chasing frantically, erupting with rays of escape light that were incredibly fast; every collision triggered combat fluctuations that covered a thousand miles.

The entire sea area was overturned, whipping up monstrous waves.

Fortunately, the battle was on the open sea; if it were on an island, tens of thousands of miles in every direction would likely be razed to the ground.

Clearly, this was Nascent Soul Cultivators engaged in a magical battle.

He saw a pink streak of light rushing toward Three-Star Island, pursued relentlessly by three black streaks of light.

He recognized immediately that the person fleeing was none other than Taohua Shangren.

And those chasing Taohua Shangren were three Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators, their bodies permeated with terrifying Demon Qi; they were clearly Demon Cultivators, though he did not know much about Demon Cultivators.

He also did not know what their background was.

He only knew that the cultivation of the three Demon Cultivators was very powerful, having already reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage realm.

If it were not for this, it would be impossible to hunt down Taohua Shangren.

"Senior Taohua, enter the Array Formation first."

At this moment, Zhou Sui immediately sent a Divine Sense Transmission to Taohua Shangren.

With a wave of his hand, the Heavy Water Barrier at the edge of the Array Formation opened instantly, splitting in two from the middle to reveal an entrance large enough to enter the Array Formation.

"Good."

Hearing Zhou Sui's voice, Taohua Shangren was instantly overjoyed and accelerated, entering the Array Formation in a flash before the barrier closed once more.

At this moment, Taohua Shangren's face was pale and her clothes were tattered, revealing a figure perfect to the extreme and skin as white as snow; she was simply enchanting and pitiable.

Her stunningly beautiful face appeared exceptionally moving under the moonlight.

It seemed as if even the moon was eclipsed by her.

Even though she was injured and in the midst of fleeing, she remained extremely beautiful and moving.

However, Zhou Sui swept his divine sense lightly and sensed that Taohua Shangren's injuries were neither major nor minor; although they looked frightening, she had not suffered any fatal wounds.

He immediately felt much more relaxed.

"Senior Taohua, are your injuries alright?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"Nothing serious."

"As long as I rest for a few days, I should be able to heal the injuries on my body."

"Fortunately, you appeared in time; otherwise, I might have truly been killed by those three Cultivators of the Demonic Sect."

Taohua Shangren felt very fortunate.

While being hunted by the three Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Demonic Sect, she had instinctively flown toward the Samsung Island Group.

Because she knew that if she wanted to survive, she definitely had to find that man for help.

Although this man was only a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, in terms of reliability, he was more dependable than any Nascent Soul Cultivator; judging by the result, her choice was indeed correct.

After fleeing to the Samsung Island Group, she could be considered completely safe.

"What exactly happened?"

"Weren't you with the Alliance Master and the others?"

Zhou Sui asked with great curiosity.

Because under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Taohua Shangren to be hunted by other Nascent Soul Cultivators.

After all, with more than thirty Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Wuji Alliance together, who would dare to bully the Wuji Alliance?

Coupled with the power of Wuji Daoren, it was enough to deter many Nascent Soul Cultivators.

No matter how one looked at it, Taohua Shangren should not have ended up in such a state.

"Sigh, we still underestimated the power of that Transformation God Relic."

"We originally thought that after we cracked the outer Forbidden Array, there would be no problem cracking the Array Formation in the core area."

"Who could have imagined that an accident would occur while cracking the Array Formation?"

"We triggered the Five-Tier Great Array of the Kurong Sect."

"As a result, my father Wuji Daoren, as well as Chongxu Daoren of the Tianjian Sect, Tiansuan Daoren of the Xuanbao Pavilion, and other Sect Masters were instantly trapped within the Array Formation and could not get out in a short time."

"It was just at this time that I found several Storage Bags containing the remains of Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Kurong Sect."

"Judging by the clothing on those remains, they were likely Elders of the Kurong Sect."

"The Storage Bags contained a large amount of Treasure, which was of great value."

"Most importantly, there was a Fourth-Tier Treasure Pill, the Ten Thousand Wood Pill; consuming one can increase the Dharma Power of a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator by twenty years."

"Besides that, there were also many cultivation technique legacies of the Kurong Sect."

"But this scene was discovered by Heiyue Laozu of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Mingyan Laozu of the Black Fiend Hall, and Jiying Laozu of the Xuanyin Sect."

"As a result, they joined forces to launch an attack on me."

"Although my cultivation has also reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, compared to those three veteran Nascent Soul Great Cultivators, I am naturally no match and was beaten into a steady retreat."

Taohua Shangren immediately explained what had just happened clearly and in great detail.

Clearly, those three Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Demonic Sect were tempted by greed.

Coupled with the fact that Wuji Daoren and other Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivators were trapped in the Five-Tier Great Array and would not be leaving for a short time.

In this way, they became even more unscrupulous and joined forces to deal with Taohua Shangren.

Even if they really killed Taohua Shangren and angered Wuji Daoren, they did not care.

After all, they all had their own sects backing them.

Even if Wuji Daoren was furious, he would not be able to do anything to them afterward.

And this was an opportunity for Dao attainment, so those three Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Demonic Sect were even less likely to let Taohua Shangren go.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

At this moment, three streaks of light arrived in an instant, reaching the outer area of the Array Formation.

Suddenly, three old men appeared, each radiating the powerful aura of a Nascent Soul Dharma Domain, as if the area within a radius of a thousand miles was distorted by this power.

Above the sky, dark clouds gathered and black mist swirled.

"Taohua Shangren, hand over the Storage Bags of the Kurong Sect Cultivators immediately, otherwise you will not escape your doom today."

The one speaking was Heiyue Laozu of the Heavenly Demon Sect; he wore a black robe with a moon embroidered on the back, and his body was permeated with a terrifying aura of a Demonic Sect Cultivator, fierce and vicious.

His eyes emitted a purple light, as if he had seen through the Heavy Water Barrier to the Zhou Sui and Taohua Shangren behind it, and he did not hide his killing intent in the slightest.

"Who are you? A mere Golden Core Cultivator dares to assist Taohua Shangren; are you looking for death?"

Heiyue Laozu stared fixedly at Zhou Sui.

His heart was filled with anger.

Without a doubt, if this person had not opened the array barrier, it would have been absolutely impossible for Taohua Shangren to escape their clutches; he already hated Zhou Sui completely, his heart filled with rage.

To tell the truth, he was determined to obtain the Storage Bags of those Kurong Sect cultivators.

These Storage Bags contained too many precious Treasures.

They were definitely the remains of an ancient Transformation God sect, and perhaps they contained a large amount of rare Pills.

There might even be the heritage of the Kurong Sect.

If he obtained these heritage techniques, it was very likely that his cultivation would achieve a further breakthrough.

Even becoming a Transformation God Cultivator was not necessarily impossible.

Therefore, facing such a Transformation God opportunity, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up.

"Why be so angry?"

"In a Transformation God Relic, obtaining opportunities is just a matter of relying on one's own means."

"Since your skills are inferior, you actually want to bully the few with the many; it really isn't very honorable."

"How about you give me some face, both sides take a step back, and we call it a day, how about that?"

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, looking at Heiyue Laozu and the others, offering his suggestion, hoping everyone would shake hands and make peace.

"Screw your mother."

"Who do you think you are? Just a Golden Core ant, and you dare to step out and act as a peacemaker."

"If it weren't for the protection of the Fourth-tier Array, I could slap you to death with one palm."

"You actually dare to babble in front of me; you are simply tired of living."

Mingyan Laozu of the Black Fiend Hall roared, his temper extremely explosive.

Bursts of black flames erupted from his body, seemingly wanting to burn mountains and boil the seas; the surrounding temperature rose sharply, as if it were going to completely incinerate this array barrier.

He felt that the Golden Core Cultivator before him was simply insane, actually daring to step out and negotiate with Nascent Soul Cultivators; if this wasn't being tired of living, what was it?

Why did this brat think he would give face to a lowly Golden Core Cultivator?

Relying on a Fourth-tier Great Array, he actually thought he could stand on equal footing with Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"A lowly Golden Core Cultivator, daring to clamor in front of us."

"Today, not only will I take away the Storage Bags of those Kurong Sect cultivators."

"I will also capture you two dog-man-and-woman together, and see what you can do to us."

Jiying Laozu of the Xuanyin Sect sneered, his body permeated with a terrifying, cold aura, as if the power of this Nascent Soul Dharma Domain could completely freeze a thousand miles of sea.

He was somewhat amused by anger.

Having lived for so long, this was the first time he had seen a Golden Core Cultivator dare to clamor in front of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

This brat really didn't know how much he weighed.

"If you refuse a toast, you'll be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Then don't blame me."

"The three of you can all die here."

Zhou Sui looked at Heiyue Laozu and the others indifferently, his eyes as calm as lake water, but it was clear he was also angry.

Since these three Nascent Soul Cultivators didn't want to give him face, then they could all just die here.

Boom~~

In an instant, the Fourth-tier Great Array, the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array, began to operate; the domain of this array barrier, which had originally been limited, expanded once more, instantly shrouding Heiyue Laozu, Mingyan Laozu, and Jiying Laozu.

Clearly, the range covered by this Great Array was not just two hundred thousand miles.

The reason it only covered two hundred thousand miles of sea was because he had retracted the power of the array.

In fact, the coverage of the array could reach an area of five hundred thousand miles.

As long as he moved his mind, he could expand the coverage of the array, shrouding these three Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivators within it, leaving them with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

What?!

The expressions of Heiyue Laozu, Mingyan Laozu, and Jiying Laozu changed; they had originally been very calm and composed, because staying in the area outside the array, the opponent could do nothing to them.

But now, the array range had expanded again, actually shrouding them in an instant.

At this moment, they felt the massive barrier power of the Fourth-tier Array, as well as the omnipresent pressure.

It seemed that in this instant, this heaven and earth were filled with their enemies; they were unwelcome people within the array, receiving immense pressure everywhere.

"Heavy Water!"

In an instant, Zhou Sui moved his mind, immediately manipulating the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Array; dark clouds gathered in the sky, and countless Yiyuan Heavy Water gathered together, forming a massive storm layer.

The next second, a large amount of Yiyuan Heavy Water fell from mid-air, covering this sea area.

Each drop of Yiyuan Heavy Water had the weight of a mountain peak.

Thousands of raindrops meant thousands of mountain peaks falling down; the power within was enough to destroy an island.

Sensing this terrifying power and the omnipresent killing intent, even the three Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators had twisted expressions, perceiving a massive life-and-death crisis.

"Black Moon Flag."

In an instant, Heiyue Laozu made his move, immediately taking out an Upper Grade Spirit Treasure, the Black Moon Flag, from his body; a black moon appeared on it, seemingly releasing an ominous aura.

Seeing him wave his large hand, brandishing the Black Moon Flag, he immediately released endless black Heavenly Demon Qi, forming giant, ominous black moons, like stars.

The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth within a radius of several thousand miles was swallowed and absorbed by him, gathering in the Black Moon Flag, erupting with earth-shattering power.

Rumble~~~

Immediately, the two forces collided instantly, as if a comet had struck the earth, producing incomparable destructive power; the sea area for several thousand miles around suffered violent tremors, and a massive tsunami appeared.

This power even transmitted to the depths of the seabed, causing the seabed to shake and appearing with streaks of terrifying cracks, as if even the seabed had been torn apart by this power.

Many marine creatures in the depths of the ocean could not withstand this power and were shaken to death one after another.

The surface of the sea was also covered with the corpses of a large number of fish, dripping with blood.

With just a single strike, Heiyue Laozu displayed the terrifying combat power of a Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator, which was simply incomparable to that of Nascent Soul Middle Stage or Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators.

The combat power had increased by at least tenfold, if not more.
