Chapter 1123: 1031 Chronicles of Immortal Age

The Hengyang Mountain Range stretched for tens of trillions of miles. The Immortal Yuan Qi here was thin, and True Immortal Cultivators rarely lingered.

Deep within the mountains, there was a small valley surrounded by three peaks. In the valley stood three men and one woman. Leading them was a burly man dressed in black, exuding an overwhelming aura of killing intent.

"Taoist Friend Li, have they not arrived yet? Could something have happened?"

A voluptuous woman in a purple dress frowned and asked.

"Shouldn’t be the case. Let’s wait a while longer."

The man in black replied.

"With the four of us combined, plus the Spirit Beast, we could actually break the restriction ourselves, couldn’t we?"

The woman in the purple dress said with a meaningful undertone.

"Better to wait for Taoist Friend Dongfang to arrive. If we could have broken it earlier, we would have already done so."

The man in black said. He looked toward the distant sky and added, "They’ve arrived."

A streak of red Escape Light appeared in the distant horizon, flickered, and then stopped, revealing a Red Flying Boat. Onboard stood Dongfang Yi, Dongfang Yu, Shen Long, and Chu Buyu.

"Taoist Friend Dongfang, you’ve finally arrived."

The man in black spoke, his gaze landing on Shen Long.

"These two are Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu. Taoist Friend Li, who are those two friends?"

Dongfang Yi asked courteously.

"I am surnamed Qian, and my wife is surnamed Sun. Since everyone is here, let’s proceed to break the restriction!"

A medium-built man in green robes urged.

Shen Long released Shen Chan. Shen Chan’s eyes emitted dazzling golden light, scanning the surroundings, and transmitted a message: "Master, there is indeed a restriction in the cave, but no other formations were discovered."

Shen Long was relieved upon hearing this.

Inside the valley was an approximately ten-foot-wide cave entrance. The eight of them entered the cave and, before long, reached the end, where they were met with a stone chamber roughly an acre in size.

The stone walls were uneven and appeared unremarkable.

The black-clad man flicked his sleeve, and a Yellow Command Flag, shimmering with golden light, shot out. He imbued it with a spell.

The Yellow Command Flag emitted a beam of yellow light that flew toward a particular stone wall.

With a flash of yellow light, a dense Eight-Colored Light Gate emerged. Its surface was filled with intricate runes.

"Let’s break the restriction! Make it quick!"

The black-clad man said, brandishing a black spear.

With a shake of his wrist, the black spear’s tip erupted with blinding black light, sending waves of black shadows toward the Eight-Colored Light Gate.

Shen Long and the other six all made their moves, attacking the Eight-Colored Light Gate, while Shen Chan stood by without participating.

After a series of deafening explosions, the Eight-Colored Light Gate dimmed, becoming faint as though on the verge of collapsing.

The runes on its surface suddenly brightened again, restoring it to normal.

"What’s going on?"

The woman in the purple dress frowned.

"If we cannot quickly break the restriction, it will restore itself. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have invited you for assistance."

The black-clad man explained.

"We’ve spent seven days and depleted nearly all our Immortal Yuan Power, but we still couldn’t break the restriction. Its restorative capabilities are too strong."

Dongfang Yi sighed.

"I can break the restriction, but once it’s opened, I get to choose two items first, excluding the Time Immortal Artifact."

Shen Long said.

The black-clad man and his three companions were True Immortal Late Stage, while the woman in purple was True Immortal Middle Stage. Shen Long and his group were all True Immortal Middle Stage.

Shen Long wasn’t afraid of them. If there were truly rare treasures, he wouldn’t let them go so easily.

"Alright, Taoist Friend Shen, give it a try."

The black-clad man agreed.

The man in the green robes and his two companions also had no objections. In the Cultivation Realm, strength dictated the rules. Once the restriction was broken, the situation would be reconsidered.

Shen Long motioned to Shen Chan with his eyes. Shen Chan understood and approached the Eight-Colored Light Gate.

Shen Chan’s eyes emitted golden light, which struck the Eight-Colored Light Gate directly.

As if encountering its nemesis, the Eight-Colored Light Gate dimmed and grew faint.

Shen Long smashed the Eight-Colored Light Gate with the Golden Great Rod in his hand. The gate caved in and shattered instantly, revealing a crude stone room approximately a hundred feet in size.

Inside the room was a humanoid skeleton clad in an azure robe, its left hand wearing a Green Storage Bracelet.

The black-clad man’s right hand glowed crimson, releasing a red radiance that turned into surging flames wherever it passed.

The flames engulfed the humanoid skeleton, reducing it to ashes in moments, leaving only the Azure Storage Bracelet and the azure robe.

Using a spell, the black-clad man extinguished the flames.

With a grasp toward the void, the Azure Storage Bracelet flew into his hand.

With a shake of his wrist, a flash of azure radiance revealed a large pile of items on the ground.

Seven Low Grade Immortal Artifacts, over six thousand Immortal Yuan Stones, and a large assortment of Refining Materials and Jade Slips.

After closely inspecting the seven Immortal Artifacts, the black-clad man looked disappointed and said, "No Years Bead. Taoist Friend Shen, you may choose two items first."

Shen Long picked up one Jade Slip and inserted his Divine Sense into it.

"You can’t take the Cultivation Technique for yourself. Feel free to pick any other two items."

The man clad in green frowned.

"Why didn’t you say so before breaking the restriction? Do you think you can bully us?"

Chu Buyu’s expression grew cold as she summoned five Immortal Puppets.

Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Yi both assumed vigilant stances, ready to fight at any moment.

"We agreed earlier—Taoist Friend Shen has the right to choose two items first after breaking the restriction. Two items it is."

The black-clad man said seriously.

He valued Shen Chan’s ability to break restrictions, wishing to foster goodwill with Shen Long for potential future treasure hunts.

"I want the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method. It’s not too difficult to make a copy for us, is it?"

The man clad in green said with a furrowed brow.

"Of course."

Shen Long agreed. Keeping the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method for himself could provoke trouble from the black-clad man’s group, so he decided to share.

"The Chronicles of Immortal Age! A Time-based Cultivation Technique!"

Shen Long showed no change in expression as he set the Golden Jade Slip down and picked up a Green Jade Slip.

After reviewing the contents of all Jade Slips, he confirmed the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method only contained the first three levels of cultivation methods, which was unsurprising.

Even if Tianyan Fairy had the complete Taiyi Yuan Soul Method, she wouldn’t share all of it with her disciples.

For True Immortal Cultivators, the first three levels of the Taiyi Yuan Soul Method were sufficient.

Shen Long selected the Chronicles of Immortal Age and a True Spirit Core. The Chronicles of Immortal Age was unique, with no duplicates.

They divided the remaining items among themselves. Chu Buyu obtained five blocks of Jade Luminary Crystals.

"Taoist Friend Shen, I am Li Hao. May I inquire..."

Li Hao’s sentence was interrupted as the cavern began to quiver violently, with cracks rapidly forming and expanding on its ceiling.

A deafening roar echoed as the cavern collapsed, and a gigantic golden hand, covered in intricate musical runes, descended from the heavens, aiming toward them.

"Not good, we’re under attack!"

Li Hao’s expression changed drastically. His right hand glowed crimson as he unleashed a palm strike, conjuring a massive red hand to intercept the golden hand.

The red hand collided with the golden hand but was instantly obliterated, akin to a fragile egg striking a stone.

"Small Accomplishment Law!"

Li Hao exclaimed in shock.

Shen Long reacted swiftly, retracting Shen Chan into his Spirit Beast Bracelet. His body became covered in Blue Dragon Scales, and he let out a resounding roar, unleashing a blue soundwave to confront the golden hand.
