Chapter 864: 773 Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb treasure hunt (none left today)

Based on the clues these items have provided, the master of the Zouhua Cave is likely the Thunder Control True Monarch, and there might be a True Spirit Fruit on his person.

Yuan Rui and Su Changfeng were unable to break through the core restriction, attracting a rank six Eight-Winged Soul-eating Centipede, which heavily damaged Yuan Rui’s Divine Soul. Su Changfeng brought him back to the Qianling Sect.

Yuan Rui swallowed a Six-Petal Gold Soul Pill and is currently recovering from his injuries.

"Show me the map."

Shen Long instructed.

Su Changfeng pulled out a green Beast Hide and handed it over to Shen Long with both hands.

Shen Long took the Beast Hide, which depicted mountains and rivers, with some areas marked with text, one of which was labeled with the large characters "True Spirit Fruit."

Either the Thunder Control True Monarch has already obtained the True Spirit Fruit and died in the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, or the Thunder Control True Monarch has yet to acquire it.

The True Spirit Fruit is one of the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits, coveted even by Mahayana Cultivators.

"Is Senior Brother Yuan’s injury very serious?"

Shen Long asked, privately, he still referred to Yuan Rui as a senior brother.

"He has taken the Six-Petal Gold Soul Pill, so there’s no serious problem, but he needs to rest quietly for a while. He’s healing at his residence."

Su Changfeng said.

"Understood, go back and rest! Don’t tell anyone else about this."

Shen Long reminded.

"Yes, Master."

Su Changfeng agreed and then turned to leave.

"The Thunder Control True Monarch died in the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, no wonder he hasn’t shown himself in over ten thousand years."

Chu Buyu showed a sudden enlightenment on his face, saying.

"That’s not necessarily the case!"

Shen Long shook his head, took out a shining red Law Disk, infused a spell into it, and asked, "Master Nephew Lin, have someone check whether there is anything unusual about Yuan Rui and Su Changfeng’s Life-Bound Lamps."

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

The man agreed.

After a while, the man’s voice rang out, "Uncle Shen, there’s nothing unusual about Junior Brother Yuan and Junior Brother Su’s Life-Bound Lamps."

"If there’s any abnormality with their Life-Bound Lamps, notify me immediately."

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Uncle Shen."

The man agreed again.

Shen Long put away the Law Disk, his face showing a pensive expression.

"Husband, do you suspect they have a problem?"

Chu Buyu asked, puzzled.

"It’s better to be cautious. A man fears getting famous as a pig fears getting fat. I have previously slain three Unity Cultivators and severely injured Ba Yu, the different clans surely won’t let me off lightly."

Shen Long explained.

"Should we head to the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb? That’s the True Spirit Fruit!"

Chu Buyu asked.

"Let’s call upon Senior Sister Qin, and we will go together."

Shen Long took out the Messaging Plate to contact Qin Wei, and her voice sounded, "Junior Brother Shen, have you finished your alchemy?"

"Yes, Senior Sister Qin. We have an urgent matter and were wondering if you’re available?"

Shen Long asked.

"I’m available, come and talk over here!"

Qin Wei said.

"Good, we’ll come right over."

Shen Long agreed, and put away the Messaging Plate.

He and Chu Buyu arrived at the Red Flood Dragon Garden and met with Qin Wei.

After Shen Long briefly explained the situation, Qin Wei nodded, "No problem, I’ll go with you to the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb. The True Spirit Fruit is worth the trip."

"Let’s not delay; we should set off immediately! Let’s secure the True Spirit Fruit as soon as possible."

Shen Long said.

Qin Wei nodded, took out the Messaging Plate, and instructed Mo Bingbing with a few words before the three of them left Qianling Sect.

...

Crystal Sky Mountain Range, a serene estate.

Yun Yao sat beside a green stone table, while Yun Bing was reporting to him.

"Shen Long is a Body Cultivator; it would be hard for him to resist the allure of the True Spirit Fruit. In the past, other Treasure Hunters have found True Spirit Fruit in the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb. As long as Shen Long dares to seek treasure in there, his demise is certain."

Yun Bing was full of confidence.

"If I remember correctly, Qin Wei is already in the late stage of Unity."

Yun Yao spoke.

"Don’t worry! As the clan leader, I’ve arranged for two late-stage Unity Cultivators and five middle-stage Unity Cultivators to ambush them there. As long as they dare to go, they’re as good as dead."

Yun Bing was brimming with confidence.

"That’s good; I hope everything goes smoothly."

Yun Yao said.

...

The Ten Thousand Spirits Mountain Range extended for hundreds of millions of li, the location of the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, and the largest treasure hunting ground on the Green Lotus Continent.

In the distance, a red Escape Light appeared in the sky, which, after a flash, revealed a Red Flying Boat where Shen Long, Qin Wei, and Chu Buyu stood, their expressions solemn.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb? The Restriction on the perimeter is this strong!"

Shen Long frowned as he spoke.

Following his gaze, one could see a range of lush green mountains, their depths shrouded in a white mist.

He employed his Divine Sense to probe and discovered many Restrictions.

"Yes! It’s better to be cautious. I’ve visited the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb before and nearly died here."

Qin Wei’s expression was grave.

Chu Buyu retracted the Qianhuo Boat, and the three descended into a narrow valley, striding into it.

Numerous Restrictions and powerful Monster Beasts were present here; the lower-ranked Monster Beasts on the periphery couldn’t stop the trio.

Half a month later, they appeared in a broad expanse of dark forest with towering trees and scarce sunlight.

The restrictions on Divine Sense here were significant; Shen Long’s Divine Sense could only extend a little over a thousand li, and as they went deeper into the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, the restrictions became even more severe.

Shen Long flicked his wrist, and the Hundred Eyes Cicada flew out, currently at the late sixth rank.

Were it not for Qin Wei’s presence, the Hundred Eyes Cicada would have taken on human form.

The Hundred Eyes Cicada’s eyes emitted blinding golden light to scout ahead.

"Master, there are many Restrictions here, and I cannot see through them."

The Hundred Eyes Cicada said.

"The Restrictions of the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb are formidable and not something a sixth-rank Hundred Eyes Cicada can probe."

Qin Wei explained.

Shen Long nodded, recalled the Hundred Eyes Cicada, and the three of them continued forward.

After walking for over ten li, Shen Long’s brow furrowed, and he punched out, a huge yellow fist flashing towards a towering tree.

The towering tree lit up with black light as a gigantic Black Lizard appeared.

"A seventh-rank middle-stage Chameleon Lizard!"

Qin Wei recognized the origin of the Demon Insect.

The Chameleon Lizard let out a sharp and piercing scream, spitting out a black soundwave to meet the attack.

The black soundwave collided with the yellow giant fist, and both were annihilated.

A green firelight appeared in the void in front of the Chameleon Lizard, revealing a gigantic Green Fire Phoenix, which was the Qinglian True Flame.

The Green Fire Phoenix gently flapped its wings, striking the Chameleon Lizard.

Boom! A deafening explosion followed as green flames engulfed the Chameleon Lizard’s body, issuing an agonized scream.

A thunderous dragon roar filled the air, a blue soundwave sweeping through, reducing towering trees to dust in its path.

The Chameleon Lizard hastily spat out a black soundwave to counter.

The black soundwave shattered instantly upon colliding with the blue soundwave, as ineffective as an egg against a rock.

The blue soundwave swept over the Chameleon Lizard’s body, which trembled before falling from the trunk, and a miniature Chameleon Lizard emerged from within.

A seventh-rank middle-stage Chameleon Lizard was thus slain by Shen Long, the power of the True Dragon Spirit Howl too formidable to withstand.
