The fiery red flight light swept past the foot of the mountain, rushing toward the buildings of the Immortal Palace.
On a lonely peak, Progenitor Miaoying suddenly turned her head and looked at the flight light in surprise. "Who is this fellow Daoist? How dare he fly in the Immortal Palace like this?
Isn't he afraid of triggering some strange restriction? "
Traveling with her was a skinny old man in a tattered Daoist robe. He was Daoist Guo of Pufa School.
Jingxu Sect and Pufa Sect could only be regarded as average among the major forces. Except for the two Grand Supreme Elders at the Late Nascent Stage, the strength of the other Nascent Soul cultivators was average. When they entered the immortal palace, the other cultivators of the two sects were left outside, and only the two of them temporarily accompanied each other.
Daoist Guo stroked his goatee. When he saw the black demonic aura behind the red flight light, he exclaimed, "Junior Martial Sister Miaoying, look!"
"A demonic creature!" The two of them looked at each other with strange expressions.
Judging from the scene in front of them, the cultivator in the red flight light must be being chased by the demonic aura.
The question was, what exactly was this demonic aura?
The two of them had a smooth journey, but they hadn't seen any refined corpses.
It didn't take long for them to find the answer.
The red flight light flew so fast that the demonic aura gradually couldn't keep up. However, it sensed their breaths halfway, paused, then changed direction and flew toward them.
Seeing this, Progenitor Miaoying was shocked. "Senior Martial Brother Guo, look!"
The next moment, the surging breath almost soared into the sky. Daoist Guo's expression became even more unsightly. He flicked his horsetail whisk, a cloud appeared under his feet, and he was about to escape while shouting, "Run! It's a Deification cultivator!"
"But …" Progenitor Miaoying looked at the half-broken ancient cultivator's cave with pity. If they could break this cave, they'd definitely get amazing fated chances.
But she wasn't stupid. Sensing the demonic aura, she clenched her teeth, turned into a flight light, and chased after Daoist Guo.
All fated chances were not as important as her life!
Qin Xi flew out of the Ascetic Cliff, flew past the peaks full of spiritual aura, and entered the building complex of the Immortal Palace. He didn't feel any aura anymore, so he stopped. He temporarily put away the flying cloud and landed in a garden.
"It didn't chase us?"
Still in a state of shock, Mo Tiange turned around to look. However, her divine sense was restricted in this place, so how far could she see with her eyes?
Naturally, he didn't see anything.
Qin Xi wiped the sweat off his face and said, "He went to chase after someone else. Let's take a break first."
When he was fleeing just now, he didn't hold back at all. He even used his Blood Essence to destroy his True Essence. He flew without any scruples. When he encountered a restriction, he could only forcefully dissolve it. Now, he didn't have much Spiritual Qi left.
"Chasing after someone else?"
Mo Tiange was dumbfounded for a moment. Her cultivation level was slightly lower, so her divine sense was more restricted. On the way here, she didn't notice anyone else at all.
Qin Xi swallowed a handful of Restorative Panaceas and said, "I sensed there were people in front of me, so I deliberately flew past them. Sure enough, that refined corpse couldn't distinguish between us and chased after those two people."
"…" Mo Tiange glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Upon seeing her expression, Qin Xi smiled. "What do you want to say?"
Mo Tiange wrinkled her brows, but she couldn't help but laugh. "I really didn't know you could be so treacherous."
"Heh!" Qin Xi wore a smile on his face, but his gaze was indifferent. He didn't take it seriously. "Isn't this very normal?
We can only escape by diverting the trouble to someone else. I'm not a saint either. "
Mo Tiange nodded. She didn't feel conflicted in her heart. If she were in his shoes, she might also make the same choice.
"Alright, don't waste time. Let's quickly recover our spiritual aura," Qin Xi said then sat cross-legged on the spot to adjust his breath.
Mo Tiange had been carried all the way here, so she didn't consume much spiritual aura. However, in this kind of situation, the more prepared, the better. Thus, she also sat cross-legged, adjusting her breath while thinking about countermeasures.
A Deification realm refined corpse appeared in this Immortal Palace. For the cultivators who entered the Immortal Palace, the treasure-seeking journey immediately became perilous.
The higher the realm, the greater the gap between the two realms. The difference between the Deification realm and the Nascent Soul realm was like heaven and earth, even between the early stage of the Deification realm and the peak stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
This Deification realm refined corpse was naturally transformed by chance. Although it didn't have a consciousness, it was very likely that it retained its original body's habits in fights of magical powers.
How could the divine abilities of the Deification realm cultivators of the Distant Past era, who had already declined for more than a hundred thousand years, be a match for the cultivators of the cultivation world?
Therefore, if they were caught by this Deification realm refined corpse, no matter how powerful a Nascent Soul cultivator was, they could only die.
However, since it was a refined corpse, its weakness was its clumsiness. If they discovered it early and avoided it, they wouldn't be in life-threatening danger.
However, the problem was that with a Deification realm refined corpse wandering around, the Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't be at ease when searching for treasures.
"Master?" Mo Tiange called Fu Yao Zi softly after thinking for a while.
However, Fu Yao Zi didn't move for a long time.
If she didn't feel the existence of the divine sense on the Fusheng Sword, she would almost think he disappeared.
Thinking about what Fu Yao Zi said before, that his divine sense was a bit weak, Mo Tiange guessed that maybe he was resting?
She couldn't help but sigh. That being the case, they could only think of a way themselves.
She didn't really care about the other treasures in this Immortal Palace. Their original goal was to collect top-grade spiritual treasures in the storehouse.
Now that there was a Deification realm refined corpse wandering around in the Immortal Palace, there was no need to stay outside.
There was an Illusory Formation in the storehouse. In the end, the refined corpse was just an idiot. It definitely couldn't see through the Illusory Formation — the storehouse was the safest place.
But here came the problem. Although she knew the weakness of the Illusory Formation, she and Qin Xi alone weren't enough to break it.
When they left the storehouse, they agreed to meet up with Master Daoist Yuanmu and the others for a day. There was still half a day left. Did they have to hide for half a day?
While Mo Tiange was pondering, the Immortal Palace was in a mess because of this Deification realm refined corpse.
Seeing Daoist Guo and Primordial Lord Miaoying flying towards them at an unparalleled speed, Venerable Xuxiang's loud voice rang out. "Oh my, Fellow Daoists, where are you going?"
Venerable Xuxiang really didn't have many friends. After entering the Immortal Palace, no one was willing to cooperate with him, so he could only wander around the Immortal Palace alone, looking for fated chances.
Fortunately, he found the remains of several ancient cultivators and obtained several Qiankun Bags.
However, the cultivation levels of these ancient cultivators weren't very high. Although there were several rare treasures in their Qiankun Bags, none of them were related to the Deification realm. He had been stuck in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm for so many years, but aside from fated chances related to the Deification realm, there really wasn't anything else that caught his eye.
He also found an ancient cultivator's Immortal's Cave on a separate mountain peak that was obviously of a much higher level. Unfortunately, it was robbed by old man Yuan Mu, who relied on his superior numbers.
Although Yuan Mu was noisy, as a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul realm, how could he be a fool?
He was only one person and couldn't compete with Jiuyan Sect, so he could only endure it.
However, since he didn't have any clear information or partners to cooperate with, he had no other choice but to rely on luck. Thus, he wandered around the Immortal Palace, hoping to find the medicinal garden of this great ancient cultivation group or a hidden ancient cultivator's Cave to pick up one or two things related to the Deification realm.
As he wandered around, he suddenly saw two rays of light speeding towards him.
There were a total of eleven late Nascent Soul realm cultivators in Yunzhong. These people were both competitors and fellow cultivators who appreciated each other. After hundreds and thousands of years, they were very familiar with each other. With just a glance, he knew that it was Progenitor Miao Ying and Taoist Guo.
Seeing the two of them, Venerable Void Phase was delighted.
Although these two were not too close to him, they were much better than old fogies like Yuan Mu and Guifang. Progenitor Miao Ying was famous for her good relations with others. She was always smiling at everyone and had a good relationship with him. Taoist Guo was also a turtle and was a good guy. Surely he wouldn't have any objections if he were to join them?
If he had these two as partners, he would be able to show off his skills.
Besides, Taoist Guo cultivated the Vajra Body Enhancement Technique, and Progenitor Miao Ying's strength was not in attack. As for him, his Tiger-taming Technique was known for its tyrannical power, which just happened to make up for their shortcomings. They should not have any objections.
With this thought in mind, Venerable Void Phase called out to the two of them. "Hey, hey, I'm calling you!
Why are you running so fast?
It's not like I'm going to eat you! "
"Taoist Void Phase, who are you addressing as' Lord Buddha '?"
Hearing this, the two fleeting lights stopped. Progenitor Miao Ying glanced at Venerable Void Phase with a smile. Her usually dignified and amiable face now had a hint of murderous intent.
"Uh …" Venerable Void Phase was annoyed that he had let slip. He smiled shamelessly and said, "Junior Sister Miao Ying, this old monk has always been like this. I can't stop talking. I didn't mean to say that to you. Please don't take it to heart."
"If you didn't say that to Junior Sister Miao Ying, then you must have said it to me?" Taoist Guo flicked his horsetail whisk and glanced at Venerable Void Phase with half-opened eyes.
Venerable Void Phase blinked his large eyes and pretended to be innocent. "Old Man Guo, I just couldn't stop talking.
You're not that petty, are you? "
Taoist Guo raised his eyes and ignored him.
Although he was a good guy, he did not have a good temper with Venerable Void Phase.
Venerable Void Phase had a favor to ask, so he could not be bothered to be calculative. He asked shamelessly, "Junior Sister Miao Ying, Old Man Guo, what are you doing?
Why are you in such a hurry? Did you find some Opportunity? "
Progenitor Miao Ying glanced at him with a half-smile. "Fellow Daoist Void Phase, this Opportunity … I don't think it's a good idea to tell others about it."
"Just say it!" Venerable Void Phase was very anxious. He had been wandering around for more than a day and had yet to find any Opportunity!
"Let's get straight to the point. Neither of you are good at attacking, so I can make up for your shortcomings. Bring me along. If there's an Opportunity, I'm willing to let you choose first."
Progenitor Miao Ying and Taoist Guo looked at each other and seemed to be discussing something.
Turning around, they saw Venerable Void Phase looking at them eagerly. Progenitor Miao Ying smiled. "Fellow Daoist Void Phase, it's not that we can't bring you along. But you said that if there's an Opportunity, we'll choose first, right?"
"Of course, of course." Venerable Void Phase nodded repeatedly.
"Very well. We've indeed found an Opportunity not far ahead. Wait here. We'll send word for you once we've confirmed it. What do you think?"
"You … you're not trying to fool me, are you?"
"If you don't believe me, then forget it." Progenitor Miao Ying pretended to leave.
"Wait, wait!" Venerable Void Phase quickly called out to them. "Alright, I believe you!"
Progenitor Miao Ying revealed a dignified and friendly smile. "Then please wait here, Fellow Daoist Void Phase. Senior Brother Guo and I will send word soon." She glanced at Taoist Guo and the two of them turned into conveyance lights and flew away.
Venerable Void Phase rubbed his bald head and shouted from behind, "You'd better send word quickly …"
The two conveyance lights disappeared among the mountains without looking back.
After a while, Venerable Void Phase's angry roar could be heard. "Miao Ying, Old Man Guo!
You two bastards! How dare you plot against me! "
