Chapter 1178: 1182 Hongmeng Immortal Artifact

This is not simply a Combined Attack Technique, but the fusion of three kinds of Laws.

The rumbling sound of explosions rang out, and a large number of green bamboos were destroyed by the Sky-Supporting Giant Palm, with dust filling the sky.

The entire island shook violently, and a huge pillar of yellow light shot up into the sky, reaching the clouds.

The dust dispersed, and the bamboo forest disappeared, replaced by a steep mountain peak.

At the foot of the mountain was a yellowish light screen, covered with profound yellow runes on its surface, writhing as if they were alive.

Shen Chan’s eyes lit up with dazzling golden light as he tried to peer beyond the yellow light screen and said with a frown, "The Restriction is very strong, we only broke the outer Restriction just now."

Golden beams emitted from his eyes, striking the yellow light screen.

The yellow light screen suddenly emitted a puff of blue smoke, and its glow dimmed.

Shen Lie’s right fist blazed with golden light as he punched the earthen yellow light screen. The light screen caved in and quickly shattered, revealing a cave several zhang large before them.

"Master, inside there is a corpse. Judging by the condition of the body, this person was severely injured before death."

Shen Chan said, his eyes flickering with golden light.

"Let’s go in and see."

Shen Long flew into the cave, and before long, he arrived in a cavern several acres in size.

A humanoid corpse lay in the center of the cavern, missing its legs and right arm, with a yellow Storage Bracelet on its left skeletal hand, multiple broken ribs, and a heap of numerous items scattered on the ground, including four pieces of Middle Grade Immortal Artifacts.

Shen Long released Shen Jiu, who spat out a blue radiance covering the humanoid corpse and the items on the ground, but nothing seemed abnormal.

"Master, this is the treasure."

Shen Pixiu grabbed with one hand, and an antique golden jade vial flew towards him. The bottom of the vial bore the naturally formed characters "Ten Directions Bottle".

"Ten Directions Bottle? What kind of treasure is this?"

Shen Long was full of curiosity, carefully inspecting the vial but found nothing particularly special.

His gaze fell upon a fist-sized yellow Jade Stone. With a single hand gesture, the yellow Jade Stone flew into his hand.

"Law Transmission Stone!"

Shen Long recognized the origin of the yellow Jade Stone.

The Law Transmission Stone is an auxiliary Immortal Artifact, where immortals could record their heritage or critical information.

He injected Mana, causing numerous profound runes to appear on the surface of the Law Transmission Stone. A yellow light flew out, transforming into a haggard phantom of an old man in a yellow robe.

The yellow-robed old man had no legs or right arm, his wounds gushing blood, appearing severely injured.

"I am an elder from the Huang Family of Huanglin Valley on the Skyfire Continent. During my travels, I passed through the Thousand Poison Sea Area and encountered the emergence of the dojo of the Thousand Poison Immortal Monarch. I ventured inside seeking treasures and unexpectedly found a Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, the Ten Directions Bottle, but an Evil God Race cultivator emerged. I was no match for him and barely escaped."

"I was wounded by the Immortal-slaying Evil Light from an Evil God Race cultivator, and despite taking various healing Immortal Pills, they had little effect. I know my time is near. If anyone fated to obtain my relics, please take care of my family or descendants."

The yellow-robed old man’s phantom said slowly.

"Evil God Race! Immortal-slaying Evil Light! Hongmeng Immortal Artifact?"

Shen Long was stunned.

As far as he knew, the Evil God Race was a superpower in the Immortal Realm, with several Dao Ancestors, and was a mortal enemy of the Human Clan.

The Evil God Race’s Innate Divine Ability is the Immortal-slaying Evil Light, wounding any being attacked by this Divine Ability, causing their Divine Soul to gradually disintegrate and their vitality to slowly dwindle. The more Immortal Yuan Power is used, the faster the soul disintegrates and vitality declines, eventually leading to death.

"The Ten Directions Bottle is actually a Hongmeng Immortal Artifact!"

Shen Long’s eyes blazed.

Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts are exceptionally unique Immortal Artifacts. Under specific fortuitous conditions, some materials evolve into Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts, also known as innate Immortal Artifacts.

Unlike ordinary Immortal Artifacts, Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts possess the ability to self-advance.

Ordinary Immortal Artifacts require an Immortal Artifact Master to add rare materials for tempering in order to possibly upgrade. Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts can automatically upgrade by devouring rare materials.

Moreover, the power of Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts is superior to Immortal Artifacts of the same rank.

Materials that evolve into Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts are also known as Hongmeng Immortal Materials, yet these are hard to identify by appearance. Some ordinary materials can also evolve into Hongmeng Immortal Materials under unique circumstances, eventually evolving into Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts.

Hongmeng Immortal Artifacts are born with a rank; the rank differs in level, and most start as Low Grade Immortal Artifacts.

The higher the rank of the Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, the greater its chances of advancing to a High Rank Immortal Artifact.

A Low Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact can definitely advance to a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, but advancing to a Superior Immortal Artifact is difficult, and the probability of reaching a Top Grade Immortal Artifact is nearly zero.

A Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact can definitely advance to a Superior Immortal Artifact and has a chance to reach a Top Grade Immortal Artifact, although probabilities above that are very low.

Therefore, there is a consensus in the Cultivation Realm.

A Hongmeng Immortal Artifact will definitely advance by one rank, has a chance of advancing by two ranks, and advancing by three ranks is almost impossible.

The Ten Directions Bottle being a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact is considered high-ranked and will definitely advance to a Superior Immortal Artifact, with hopes of reaching a Top Grade Immortal Artifact.

"Shen Pixiu, you have achieved great merit this time."

Shen Long praised, visibly elated.

Over six million years ago, the Seven Great Powers of the Glazed Sea Domain erupted into war, reportedly for the sake of a Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact, with three Taiyi Golden Immortals perishing.

Shen Pixiu grinned broadly, full of pride.

"Congratulations, Master, on obtaining a Middle Grade Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure."

Shen Lie and the other two congratulated him.

Shen Long collected the items on the ground and said with a smile, "Let’s hope we can find another Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling along our journey."

After leaving the cave, Shen Long, Shen Pixiu, and others flew back to the Golden Colossal Ship.

Shen Chan cast a spell, and the Golden Colossal Ship flew rapidly into the sky.

The Golden Colossal Ship flew millions of miles, appearing over a desolate island a thousand miles wide.

Shen Fu spoke up, "Master, seven Golden Immortal cultivators are flying towards us swiftly, two of whom are Great Perfection Golden Immortals."

Shen Long frowned; could it be that they were attracted by the movement from breaking the array?

"Shen Chan, let’s hide on the island! Shen Mei, use an Illusion Technique to cover us!"

Shen Long commanded.

Shen Chan executed a spell, and the Golden Colossal Ship slowly landed on the beach.

Shen Mei released a golden light circle from her body, sweeping over the entire island.

The island blurred, transforming into a stretch of azure sea.

Shortly after, a hundred-zhang-long red colossal ship flew from the distant horizon, with a nine-colored flame pattern embroidered on the sail, and a thirty-six-story red pavilion on board.

Six men and a woman stood on the deck, each with a nine-colored flame pattern on their sleeves, led by a burly young man in a red robe.

"This is the last place. The great opportunity lies here."

The red-robed young man said in a deep voice.

"Hopefully, there are good things."

A full-bodied woman in a golden dress replied.

After a while, the red colossal ship appeared over a dense, forested island a thousand miles wide.

The woman in the golden dress held a fist-sized golden sphere in her hand, which emitted a dazzling golden light.

"Someone got here first."

The woman in the golden dress’s expression turned ugly.

"Can we find out who did it?"

The red-robed young man asked urgently.

"This place is so remote, who knows which immortals passed through here. We’re just a step late, it seems the great opportunity is not ours."

The woman in the golden dress sighed.

The red-robed young man’s face fell upon hearing this.

"Let’s check other islands; the great opportunity might not be on this one."

The red-robed young man suggested.

They returned to the red colossal ship and left.

Seven days later, a golden light appeared on a sea surface, revealing a desolate island with a golden colossal ship on it.

Shen Long, Shen Chan, and others stood on the deck, wearing various expressions.

"Master, we haven’t found any other Golden Immortal cultivators for now."

Shen Fu said.

Shen Long nodded; the red-robed young man and his group seemed to come for that Ancient Cultivator’s Cave Dwelling.

Shen Long seized the great opportunity ahead of them and naturally didn’t want to face them.

"Let’s continue on our way!"

Shen Long instructed.

Shen Chan executed a spell, and the Golden Colossal Ship flew into the sky, departing the area.
