Chapter 1255: 1259 Enlightenment Belt

An expanse of rolling green mountains, towering and densely forested.

Deep within the mountains, a small valley surrounded on three sides by peaks, and outside the valley is a red Peach Blossom Forest.

Xuan Yue, a short, plump young man in a yellow robe, and a strapping young man in white robes stand in the valley, where a thick yellow light curtain overlays an uneven stone wall.

The surface of the yellow light curtain is covered with runes of profound mystery, and the trio of Xuan Yue attacks the yellow light curtain in turn.

After a loud boom, the yellow light curtain shattered.

"Finally broke the restriction, the treasures on Fairy Huanghe’s body are ours,"

the young man in the white robe said excitedly.

"That’s not necessarily true,"

a cold female voice came from the sky.

No sooner said than done, a massive purple Sword Light descended from the sky, slashing toward the trio of Xuan Yue.

Simultaneously, a loud shout of a woman echoed.

A golden light circle burst forth from Xuan Yue’s body, and a green light emerged from the Green Jade Pendant on her chest, forming a thick green light curtain that enveloped her whole body.

She remained unharmed; the young man in white and the one in yellow screamed in unison, their bodies shivering.

Xuan Yue hurriedly summoned a Golden Shield to confront the purple Sword Light.

The purple Sword Light struck the Golden Shield, slicing through it as effortlessly as chopping vegetables, shattering it instantly.

"A Hongmeng Immortal Artifact!"

Xuan Yue was absolutely shocked, as runes of profound mystery filled her body and then disappeared into countless cryptic symbols.

The purple Sword Light cleaved the two young men in white into halves, from which a Nascent Soul and a tiny mouse flew out.

The Void Fluctuation arose, and a Red Treasure Pagoda appeared, with red rays flowing from its base to envelop the Nascent Soul and the tiny mouse, drawing them into the Red Treasure Pagoda.

Far away, tens of thousands of miles, a white light illuminated the void, and Xuan Yue appeared with a terrified expression.

She never imagined she would encounter a Golden Immortal Cultivator possessing a Middle Grade Hongmeng Immortal Artifact.

Further ahead, a red flame emerged in the void, and Shen Yuqing appeared, holding the Purple Rainbow Sword, with wings of flowing red light on his back, his expression ice-cold.

Upon seeing Shen Yuqing, Xuan Yue’s face turned grim.

A powerful gravitational force arose from the ground as a loud beast roar echoed.

Hearing this, Xuan Yue felt disoriented, struggling to remain standing.

Before she could react, two thick yellow chains burst from the ground, wrapping around her feet.

Xuan Yue swiftly opened her mouth, and nine Golden Flying Daggers shot out, merging into a Golden Giant Blade nearly a dozen meters long, which charged upwards.

The Golden Giant Blade clashed with the purple Sword Light like a fragile egg hitting stone, shattering instantly.

Her Life-bound Immortal Artifact was destroyed, and Xuan Yue spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, her face turning pale.

The purple Sword Light cut across her body, slicing her in half.

As her Nascent Soul flew out, a Golden Talisman descended, attaching itself to the Nascent Soul.

Shen Yuqing approached, seizing the Nascent Soul, conducting a Soul Search.

An imposing yellow-robed man emerged from the ground, his demon aura soaring to the sky.

Shen Jun, originally an earth-attributed True Dragon, grew up in the Myriad Beasts Tower.

"So they killed the Golden Howl Tribe cultivator too; no wonder they know the location of Fairy Huanghe’s Zouhua Cave."

Shen Yuqing murmured to himself.

Shen Yuqing gathered Xuan Yue’s belongings and said to Shen Jun, "The corpse is yours."

"Thank you, Master!"

Shen Jun was overjoyed beyond measure and devoured Xuan Yue’s corpse.

They returned to the small valley where Shen Yue stood, with two bodies lying on the ground.

"Master, this is the Storage Bracelet from Fairy Huanghe."

Shen Yue handed over a yellow Storage Bracelet to Shen Yuqing.

"Go ahead and devour the corpse."

Shen Yuqing accepted the Storage Bracelet, giving a gentle shake of the wrist, and a yellow light revealed a pile of items on the ground.

Over ten thousand Middle Grade Immortal Yuan Stones, eight Middle Grade Immortal Artifacts, numerous refining materials, and a Green Jade Box sealed with a Golden Talisman caught Shen Yuqing’s attention.

Shen Yuqing removed the Golden Talisman and opened the box lid to find a finely crafted Golden Jade Box, a Golden Jade Pendant, and a Golden Jade Slip.

She opened the Jade Box to reveal an egg-sized Golden Sphere marked with a lightning pattern.

She held up the Golden Sphere, and the sky remained unchanged.

Shen Yuqing picked up the Golden Jade Slip, scanned it with her Divine Sense, and gasped.

"The Absorbing Thunder Pearl from the body of a Taiyi Golden Immortal Early Stage Golden-Headed Tiger."

Shen Yuqing was overjoyed, noting that this Absorbing Thunder Pearl, when refined into a Third Rank Immortal Formation, could assist a Taiyi Golden Immortal in the first three minor tribulations with remarkable results.

She took the Golden Jade Pendant, finding the words "Enlightenment Belt" engraved in small gold letters.

"A Top Grade Immortal Artifact, the Enlightenment Belt? Could it be refined from the Fruit Core of the Enlightenment Fruit?"

Shen Yuqing speculated.

To her, the Enlightenment Belt held little value; with the Enlightenment Stele in the Myriad Beasts Tower, she had little need for auxiliary treasures, but it could serve as a resource for the Myriad Beasts Sect, aiding other disciples in cultivating the Law.

Shen Yuqing collected the items on the ground and departed with Shen Yue and Shen Jun.

·····

In an endless yellow desert, the wind raged, and yellow sand filled the sky.

From deep within the desert, a deafening boom sounded, a burst of golden light shot into the sky, and a Nascent Soul resembling Jin Yun flew out, looking panicked.

Ahead, a cluster of yellow light surged in the void, and Chen Shan appeared, his right hand glowing yellow as he grasped the Nascent Soul to perform a Soul Search.

Shan Rong flew over swiftly, her figure stopping abruptly.

"How went it? Where is the Hongmeng Immortal Material?"

Shan Rong asked impatiently.

"When she arrived at the destination, it had already been seized, possibly by other Jinling Tribe cultivators, or perhaps discovered by another Treasure Hunter."

Disappointment filled Chen Shan’s face as his five fingers closed and crushed the Nascent Soul.

"Since there’s no Hongmeng Immortal Material, proceed promptly to the location I mentioned; given your Divine Souls, you should be able to break the restrictions,"

said the authoritative voice from the blood-colored Jade Pendant on Chen Shan’s chest.

"Yes, my lord,"

Chen Shan and Shan Rong agreed swiftly and departed.

······

Outside the Seven Stars Immortal Mansion, Qing Bai, Xuan Yang, and Lei Wei were discussing.

Xuan Yang frowned tightly, retrieving a cracked Golden Token, which shattered instantly—it was Xuan Yue’s Life Soul Plaque.

Xuan Yue was dead, and her Life Soul Plaque was shattered.

"Madam Lei, young Lei······"

Before Qing Bai could finish, his face suddenly changed.

With a flip of his right hand, a chicken egg-sized Golden Sphere appeared, covered with cracks, and shattered instantly.

Jin Yun, the leader of the Jinling Tribe, was killed; his strength made it difficult for him to be slain easily—was it triggered by a powerful restriction, or eradicated by Human Cultivators?

Qing Bai’s expression was uncertain, not knowing what to think.

He turned to look at Shen Long, Liu Yun, and other people; Liu Yun’s face was unpleasant, holding some Golden Crystals in her hand.

Three disciples of the Tianyue Sect were killed, but fortunately, the Tianyue Sect leader, Ye Shenglong, was safe.

"Madam Liu, are you alright?"

Seven-hued Immortal Lord asked with concern.

"It’s nothing; let’s continue our conversation!"

Liu Yun diverted the topic, continuing casually.
