Chapter 1069: 978 Shen Chan’s Meritorious Service

In the depths of Nine Stars Island, a small valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

A tall, slim man in a green robe and a plump woman in a yellow dress stand in the valley, their brows furrowed.

Not far ahead, a Yellow Giant Rat lies in a pool of blood, its body as if sliced by a sharp weapon. Upon closer observation, there are some crimson blood droplets in the void.

These blood droplets hang in a straight line in the void.

"There are actually restrictions here that even Divine Sense can’t detect, and even a Twin Pupil Rat at the Early Stage of True Immortal can’t find it?"

The man in the green robe frowned as he spoke.

Chang Hao, a Late Stage True Immortal, he is a Loose Immortal.

"After all, this is the Nine Stars Sect’s headquarters. If restrictions could be detected by Divine Sense, there wouldn’t be so many True Immortals dying on Nine Stars Island. Let’s be careful! It’s not surprising that your Twin Pupil Rat, which is not a True Spirit, failed to detect the restrictions."

The woman in the purple dress said.

Chen Yu, a True Immortal at the Middle Stage.

"Madam Liu only provided most of the map of Nine Stars Island; we still don’t know where the Heavenly Ghost Master is hiding. I hope we can find him."

Chang Hao’s face showed longing.

Chen Yu nodded, "True Immortals from the sub-factions of the Heavenly Ghost Sect will also enter Nine Stars Island to hunt for treasures, I hope we don’t run into them."

Chang Hao put away the corpse of the Yellow Giant Rat, and they exited the valley, disappearing into the vast mountains.

······

At the foot of a steep peak, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Chan stand, their expressions grave.

"There are strong restrictions on the mountain; it’s better to avoid it."

Shen Chan said, his eyes flashing with golden light.

The restrictions on Nine Stars Island shift positions, not always staying the same; every few moments, the restrictions change, making Nine Stars Island a terrifying place.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu released their Divine Sense widely, finding no restrictions but trusting Shen Chan’s judgment.

"Is there a problem with this gorge?"

Shen Long pointed to a narrow valley not far away.

Shen Chan looked at the valley and nodded, "Currently, no restrictions have been detected in the valley."

Shen Long nodded and headed towards the valley, with Chu Buyu and Shen Chan following.

The valley was barren, with lots of grey-white rocks scattered on the ground, and the stone walls on both sides undulating unevenly.

"No good, a restriction has suddenly appeared ahead; master, mistress, quickly retreat."

Shen Chan’s voice was urgent.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu reacted quickly, their forms retreating.

There was nothing unusual in the valley, and even with Shen Long’s Divine Sense fully open, no anomalies were detected.

Chu Buyu picked up a stone and threw it into the valley.

The stone flew into the valley and suddenly split apart, the break as smooth as if cut by a sharp weapon.

"The restriction has changed!"

Shen Long frowned deeply.

"This is a good thing; it means it won’t change again in the short term. The restriction on the mountain has disappeared; let’s cross over the mountain!"

Shen Chan said.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked towards the mountain, with Shen Chan continuing to scout.

Along the way, Shen Chan detected some restrictions and avoided them in advance.

Two days later, they arrived in a vast Peach Blossom Forest, with a lot of red petals scattered on the ground, and the air filled with a rich fragrance.

A deafening loud explosion resounded, a huge golden light shot up into the sky, reaching into the clouds.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu were startled and stopped in their tracks.

This was deep inside Nine Stars Island, with heavy restrictions on Divine Sense.

Shen Chan’s eyes emitted a dazzling golden light, and he frowned, "Master, it’s cultivators from the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

"Heavenly Ghost Sect cultivators? What are they doing on Nine Stars Island?"

Shen Long pondered, his body radiating yellow light, transforming into a Yellow Giant Ape.

Millions of miles away, a thin man in a grey robe and a plump woman in a red dress stood in an open area, the ground pockmarked, with two dried-up corpses lying on the ground.

On their sleeves was the fierce Fierce Ghost Pattern, the symbol of the Heavenly Ghost Sect.

The man in the grey robe held a Nascent Soul in his right hand, his expression icy cold.

Behind him, there was a ghostly shadow, faintly discernible.

"They came in search of the Senior Xuan Gui, and the Tianyue Sect is searching for Senior Xuan Gui,"

the grey-robed elder said, tossing his Nascent Soul behind him where the ghostly shadow swallowed it.

"Senior Xuan Gui? What’s the background of this person?"

the woman in the red dress asked curiously.

"This person is at the True Immortal Middle Stage of cultivation, not a threat. Many True Immortal Cultivators have entered the Nine Stars Island; I’m worried they might find him before we do and we won’t be able to answer to Master Uncle Chen,"

the grey-robed elder said with furrowed brows.

"Then let’s speed up and find him quickly!"

the woman in the red dress said.

They walked towards a red bamboo forest not far away, and the ghostly shadow disappeared.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, a thoughtful expression appeared on Shen Long’s face.

"Master Uncle Chen? The True Immortal Cultivators of the Heavenly Ghost Sect are searching for a certain True Immortal Cultivator,"

Shen Long said, furrowing his brows.

"With such a distance, Divine Sense is greatly restricted, how do you know they are True Immortals?"

Chu Buyu asked with doubt.

"The Heavenly Ghost Sect does not have a Taiyi Golden Immortal surnamed Chen. The ’Master Uncle Chen’ they mentioned must definitely be a Golden Immortal, and they are naturally True Immortals. If the person they’re searching for is a Golden Immortal, then it means a Golden Immortal has come,"

Shen Long analyzed.

Chu Buyu suddenly realized and said, "It’s just unknown which Golden Immortal they are searching for, what their name or background is."

"We just need to avoid them. We can handle Senior Xuan Gui, but facing them, I’m not very confident,"

Shen Long said.

"They are moving in the opposite direction from us, they probably haven’t noticed us,"

Shen Chan said.

They crossed through the Peach Blossom Forest, and a turbulent river appeared in front of them, running through a gigantic valley crisscrossed with paths.

"Master, there are restrictions within the valley,"

Shen Chan spoke.

"Restrictions? Should we avoid them?"

Shen Long asked with a frown.

"It’s not the restrictions of Nine Stars Island, it seems like an Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling,"

Shen Chan said.

"Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling? It must be a True Immortal Cultivator who died on Nine Stars Island! Let’s go and have a look,"

Shen Long ordered.

They quickened their pace, and soon they were inside the gigantic valley, standing in front of a steep cliff wall.

Shen Chan’s eyes emitted a dazzling golden light, striking the cliff wall.

A soft yellow light instantly lit up on the wall, revealing a door made of yellow light about a meter tall, covered with profound runes on its surface.

Shen Chan let out a cold snort, and a surge of golden light emitted from his body made the yellow light door immediately emit a puff of blue smoke as its spiritual light faded.

"It seems that this restriction hasn’t been around for long, but its power is strong,"

Shen Long analyzed, opening his mouth and the Zyphyxial Blade flew out, landing in his hand.

Chu Buyu had recently upgraded the Zyphyxial Blade to a Low Grade Immortal Artifact; Shen Long swung the blade, striking the yellow light door.

The Zyphyxial Blade hit the yellow light door causing it to dent inwards and quickly shatter, revealing a cave several meters wide.

"Indeed, it’s an Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling, there’s a humanoid skeleton inside,"

Shen Chan said excitedly.

Shen Long released his Divine Sense, there truly was a humanoid skeleton inside the cave.

They entered and after walking a few dozen steps, they reached the end, appearing in a cave about an acre in size.

In the center of the cave, there was a humanoid skeleton, draped in a tattered yellow robe, wearing a yellow Storage Bracelet on the left skeletal hand, several bones were blackened and the right skeletal hand was missing, with multiple ribs broken.

Shen Long released Shen Jiu, who breathed out a beam of blue radiance onto the humanoid skeleton, causing no abnormalities.

Shen Long then felt relieved, removed the Storage Bracelet, and upon scanning it with his Divine Sense, he took in a sharp breath.

Inside the Storage Bracelet were over ten thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, five Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, along with a batch of Artifact Refinement and Pill Alchemy Materials.
