Chapter 1048: 957 Nine Lights Jade Cage Fruit (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Two days later, a red beast-chariot appeared over a vast plain, under a clear blue sky.

Heaven Venerable Qianhuo opened his Divine Sense wide, but detected nothing unusual.

"Master, there are many Restrictions ahead, hard to avoid, better to take a detour!"

Shen Chan frowned and said, his eyes flickering with a golden light.

"Then let’s take a detour! Spending a bit more time doesn’t matter."

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue said.

During these two days, Shen Chan had detected numerous Restrictions in advance, managing to avert dangers.

"Detour? There might already be others ahead of us, another detour may risk the Nine-Light Jade Cage Fruit being harvested by other Taoist Friends."

Heaven Venerable Qingluan frowned and said.

Usually, spending some extra time wouldn’t harm, as long as it’s safe. However, others might have gotten there first, and they were racing against time; spending more time might mean other Mahayana Cultivators could snatch away the Nine-Light Jade Cage Fruit.

"Indeed, there’s no avoiding it, forcing our way through would be certain death."

Shen Chan affirmed resolutely.

"We should still take a detour! Missing the Nine-Light Jade Cage Fruit is just a regret, but losing our lives means there’s no coming back."

Heaven Venerable Qianhuo stated gravely.

Shen Chan had already proven his capabilities, and Heaven Venerable Qianhuo still held great trust in him.

"I agree with Taoist Friend Ning’s view."

Shen Long said.

"I have no objections."

Heaven Venerable Luo Xue echoed.

"Then let’s take a detour! Hope that we don’t need to deviate anymore."

Heaven Venerable Qingluan said.

Heaven Venerable Qianhuo made a hand spell, and the red beast-chariot flew towards the southeast.

Half a day later, the red beast-chariot stopped above a fluctuating green mountain range, and a thick golden light barrier blocked their way, its surface covered with profound Runes.

The golden light barrier covered a wide range, making it unavoidable for them.

These Runes twisted like living creatures, sometimes forming patterns of Monster Beasts, and other times dispersing.

"What kind of Restriction is this?"

Chu Buyu asked, puzzled.

"I don’t recognize it! Let’s try attacking it!"

Shen Chan suggested.

The right hand of Heaven Venerable Luo Xue glowed brightly, and she lightly tapped into the void with her right forefinger.

A piercing sound of breaking the air rang out, a white long rainbow shot forth, heading straight for the golden light barrier.

The ground rapidly froze, with ice spreading over tens of thousands of miles, the layer becoming a hundred feet thick.

The white long rainbow struck the golden light barrier, resounding with a dull thud, and the barrier’s ice formed visibly spread rapidly.

At that moment, the runes on the surface of the golden barrier swiftly gathered together to form a pattern of the Golden Crow, releasing a burst of golden flames, instantly melting the ice.

Heaven Venerable Qingluan flicked his sleeve, and a green light-glimmering spear shot out.

The Xuantian Treasure, Proling Spear!

The Proling Spear struck the golden light barrier, causing it to dent momentarily before quickly reverting to normal and rebounding the spear.

"Even a Xuantian Treasure can’t break the Restriction? It seems we all need to make a move."

Heaven Venerable Qianhuo said.

"This Restriction can absorb part of the attacks and convert them into defense, it’s significantly strengthened. Let me handle this!"

Shen Chan said.

He leaped up to the front of the golden light barrier, his eyes emitting strong golden light, which landed on the golden barrier.

The golden light barrier rippled, and many of its surface Runes dispersed.

"Break for me."

Shen Chan shouted loudly, his eyes releasing a burst of golden light that intensified manifold.

The golden light barrier tore open, revealing a gap several meters wide.

"Master, hurry through, I can’t hold it for long."

Shen Chan urged.

The faces of Heaven Venerable Qianhuo and the others showed shock; they had never expected Shen Chan to also possess Divine Skills of breaking Restrictions.

As Heaven Venerable Qiannian compressed a spell, the red beast chariot passed through the breach in the golden light curtain, followed closely by Shen Chan, as the gap quickly sealed itself.

"Taoist Friend Shen, has he already cultivated into a True Spirit? Ordinary Eighth Rank Spirit Insects don’t possess such formidable Divine Skills."

Qiannian Heaven Venerable spoke with a tone of admiration.

Luo Xue Heaven Venerable and Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable showed admiration on their faces; Shen Long’s Spirit Insect was very powerful.

"It’s nothing, let’s continue on our journey!"

Shen Long said with a smile.

Just at this moment, a large amount of crimson mist surged from the void and the ground nearby, emitting a pungent smell in the air.

The crimson mist touched stones and soil, causing blue smoke to appear and corroding them as plants and trees immediately withered and died.

Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable swept their sleeve, creating torrents of green cyclones, blowing in all directions, trying to disperse the crimson mist, but the massive quantity of the mist was relentless and couldn’t be cleared.

Luo Xue Heaven Venerable conjured a palm-sized white jade bottle, injected a spell, and the white jade bottle burst into dazzling white light, growing larger, and generating a powerful suction force.

A large amount of the crimson mist was sucked into the white jade bottle, which staggered and dimmed in spiritual light.

"What is this thing? It can even taint the Xuantian Treasure?"

Luo Xue Heaven Venerable exclaimed in surprise, quickly controlling the white jade bottle to spew out the crimson mist.

"Quickly retreat."

Qiannian Heaven Venerable said.

The surface of the golden light curtain rippled, with thick, long green light rays appearing one after another, forming a large cage-like trap, containing them inside.

"The restriction has changed, this is a chained restriction, and the difficulty of breaking it has increased."

Shen Chan said with a frown.

Shen Long released Shen Zhan, who sniffed excitedly and said, "Haha, this is Blood Tainting Energy, a great tonic."

His body radiated a strong blood light, flying out, and with a fierce inhalation, large amounts of the crimson mist rushed into his mouth, his expression reflecting pure ecstasy.

In less than ten breaths, all of the crimson mist was absorbed into Shen Zhan’s stomach.

Seeing this, the three Luo Xue Heaven Venerable stood there dumbfounded.

The Blood Tainting Energy that could even soil the Xuantian Treasure, was all consumed by Shen Zhan, who remained unharmed.

"Taoist Friend Shen, is he also a True Spirit?"

Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable’s mouth twitched slightly, asking in a tone of disbelief.

Even True Spirit Noble Families struggle to cultivate True Spirits, and yet Shen Long owns several True Spirits, possessing vast Divine Skills.

Shen Long nodded and looked towards Shen Chan, asking, "Continue forward? Or retreat from here?"

"Under normal circumstances, we would naturally retreat, but if we can think of this, the one setting up the array must have considered it too. Retreating is more dangerous; let’s move forward! We can always retreat later if necessary."

Shen Chan suggested.

Nobody opposed this, and they flew towards the front.

In less than ten breaths, the red beast chariot stopped as the golden light curtain crumbled.

"As expected, it’s a chained restriction; after some time, the restrictions will change again."

Shen Chan analyzed, his eyes flickering with golden light. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "In the southwest direction, there lies a blind spot of the chained restrictions, let’s pass through there."

Qiannian Heaven Venerable compressed another spell, and the red beast chariot flew towards the southwest direction.

Under the command of Shen Chan, they passed through snow mountains, volcanic arrays, and deserts.

Half a day later, the red beast chariot stopped over a sprawling green mountain range, dense with towering trees.

"The Nine Lights Jade Cage Fruit Tree is within that giant valley, where the restrictions have disappeared."

Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable said excitedly.

The red beast chariot moved forward and stopped over a giant valley surrounded by mountains on three sides. In the valley, there stood a towering tree with hundreds of nine-colored fruits shaped like lanterns hanging on it, the fruits emanating a soft spiritual light.

"Nine Lights Jade Cage Fruit!"

Green Phoenix Heaven Venerable laughed heartily, his eyes burning with desire.

Shen Long flicked his sleeve, and Shen Mei and Shen Fu flew out from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

"Your techniques of concealment are indeed formidable, but you miscalculated if you thought to ambush my master."

Shen Mei said.

Currently being a Mahayana Mid Stage, her power to cast illusion techniques had greatly increased. Hearing this, Qiannian Heaven Venerable’s trio looked dazed.

As they regained their senses, the red beast chariot was still above the giant valley, and the Nine Lights Jade Cage Fruit Tree was still there; they broke out in a cold sweat.

"True Spirit!"

Luo Xue Heaven Venerable’s eyes filled with wariness.
