"Yes, Lord Qing Huo!"

The man known as Amir nodded upon hearing the order, bowed respectfully, and then led a group of black-clad individuals up the mountain.

At the original spot, only the strongest presence, called Qing Huo, was left behind.

Watching Amir lead his men up the mountain, Qing Huo then lifted his hand, a green bracelet adorned on his wrist.

As Qing Huo’s thoughts stirred, the green bracelet on his hand instantly turned into a blaze of green flame, which swept out, howling and surging upwards.

Following this, the flames in the air coalesced into a Flame Mirror.

Within the green Fire Mirror, a figure began to appear.

This figure was great and tall, with an exceedingly mysterious aura, and it seemed as if he was surrounded by some grand hall.

Within the hall, countless strange flames rose ceaselessly.

As soon as this figure appeared, the black-clad man known as Qing Huo immediately became respectful.

Qing Huo spoke, "Lord Yan Tianyan."

In the next second, the towering figure within the Fire Mirror spoke.

"Qing Huo, how is the situation with the Source Crystals?"

Qing Huo replied, "Just as Lord Yan Tianyan had expected, there indeed exists Source Crystals on this planet, and according to Amir, there is a substantial amount of them."

Listening to Qing Huo’s report,

Yan Tianyan revealed a satisfied smile.

"Good! Very good. You should start plundering the Source Crystals right now, and make sure to secure all Source Crystals before the arrival of our Divine Flame Clan! Besides, be careful in your operations. I do not wish for any leaks regarding the Source Crystals.

It would be troublesome if those from the Central Star Domain were to find out."

Qing Huo respectfully bowed his head, "You can rest assured, my lord. I understand what to do."

This was not the first time Qing Huo had done this for Yan Tianyan. Matters concerning the Source Crystals were of great significance and could easily attract the attention of cultivators throughout half the universe.

Therefore, plundering of Source Crystals had always been carried out in utmost secrecy.

Not a single bit of information could be leaked.

Among the forces under Yan Tianyan of the Divine Flame Clan, and as one of the Eight Great Battle Servants, Qing Huo was cautious and decisive in his actions, ruthless, and left no loose ends.

Thus, for a long time, the task of plundering Source Crystals had been entrusted to Qing Huo.

This exploration of the Blue Star was no exception.

Qing Huo was appointed by Yan Tianyan as the vanguard of the Divine Flame Clan, arriving at Blue Star first to search.

Then, once it was confirmed that Blue Star truly contained Source Crystals, the entire army of the Divine Flame Clan would head towards Blue Star.

The Divine Flame Clan had always done the same when plundering Source Crystals from other planets.

Indeed, these black-clad individuals at the foot of Heavenly Pool Mountain.

Were people from the Divine Flame Clan.

Just when the Heavenly Master and the Light Song Clan had gone to war, the Divine Flame Clan had already sent a vanguard squad to Blue Star in advance, who had infiltrated and been searching for Source Crystals for quite some time.

The man known as Qing Huo, leading them, was one of the Eight Great Battle Servants under Yan Tianyan, the chief of the Divine Flame Clan.

While Qing Huo was still at the foot of the mountain reporting to Yan Tianyan about the situation on Blue Star,

at the mountaintop, Qin Hao and Taoist Jing Chen had already entered the depths of Heavenly Pool.

In the beginning, upon entering Heavenly Pool, everything was clear and bright.

The deeper they went, the denser the fog became.

Towards the end, the fog even turned green.

Taoist Jing Chen said upon seeing the thick green fog in front, "Heavenly Master, this fog is poisonous."

Qin Hao nodded.

Of course, he knew this.

How could there not be any anomalies where Source Crystals reside?

This Poison Fog was one of the defense mechanisms created by the Source Crystals themselves.

Initially, Qin Hao had planned to activate the Golden Light Spell to push through with Taoist Jing Chen.

But once the Golden Light Spell was activated, he realized something was amiss.

Under this Poison Fog, even his own Golden Light Spell was weakening.

The fog was indeed capable of corroding the Golden Light Spell.

The defenses created by the Source Crystals were truly not so straightforward.

In the end, Qin Hao had no choice but to take out the Five-colored Gourd.

He released the protective shield from the Magic Treasure Gourd to block the Poison Fog and navigate through the mists.

After passing through the thick green fog,

what appeared before them was another paradise.

The region they were in previously, shrouded with green Poison Fog, was a place where even Qin Hao’s purplish Golden Light Spell could be rapidly corroded.

A regular person would turn into pus with a single breath.

Terrifying to this extent.

But upon reaching the deepest part, it suddenly opened up into a bright area.

Before Qin Hao and Taoist Jing Chen, a vast expanse of green appeared.

They saw that the deepest part of the Heavenly Pond Forbidden Land was brimming with life, a stark contrast to the oppressive and poisonous landscapes they had passed earlier.

Here, it was peaceful.

And everywhere they looked, there was life.

Countless Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits were growing here.

In this land, the Spiritual Energy was so rich it reached an extremely terrifying level.

Simply breathing in the air would fill one with pure Spiritual Energy.

Every single Immortal Herb here was not to be underestimated.

They seemed mundane but were actually nurtured by the energy of Source Crystals.

A common person could extend their lifespan by ten, or even dozens of years, just by consuming a single one.

A bite of the Immortal Fruits from the tree could directly enlighten the mind, clear the bodily spiritual channels, and set one on the path of cultivation.

The Mountain Lord tiger they had encountered previously must have consumed Immortal Herbs similar to those grown here, enabling it to cultivate from an ordinary tiger into a spirit.

It was clear that everything here, if taken out at random and introduced to the outside world, could cause a sensation.

After all, who wouldn’t want Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits that could extend their lives?

The Zhou Qingxue they had met before was precisely preoccupied with seeking Longevity Medicine, wasn’t she?

Even Taoist Jing Chen, standing beside Qin Hao, was astounded by the scene that greeted them.

Clearly, even he had not anticipated the growth of so many Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Medicine here.

He was still unaware of the matter regarding the Source Crystals.

He merely wondered why such a place would grow so many high-level Immortal Herbs?

From where were these Immortal Herbs drawing their energy?

And why was the Spiritual Energy in this land so dense and pure?

It was even more so than the Spiritual Energy on Qingyun Mountain.

Keep in mind that the reason Qingyun Mountain had such dense Spiritual Energy was due to the Heavenly Master having specially set up a Spirit Gathering Array.

But there was no such Array here.

Without a Spirit Gathering Array, yet with a vast accumulation of Spiritual Energy.

It was astonishingly bizarre.

Taoist Jing Chen turned to look at Qin Hao, "Heavenly Master, what is going on here?"

Qin Hao said, "Well, this would be quite complicated to explain and you will naturally come to know in time. For now, follow me, as I need to pick something up."

Taoist Jing Chen asked, "But what about all these Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits here? Aren’t we going to take some with us?"

With so many Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits, it was obvious that they were treasures.

Usually, Qin Hao was hands-off in managing Qingyun Mountain.

The management of the Mountain Gate’s affairs was handled by Taoist Jing Xuan.

While all the various logistics and miscellaneous matters were managed by Taoist Jing Chen.

Taoist Jing Chen was essentially in charge of Qingyun Mountain’s housekeeping.

He was the epitome of thrift and frugality.

Upon first seeing so many Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits here, Taoist Jing Chen’s eyes shone with excitement.

He felt that since they were here, shouldn’t they take some with them?

So many Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits, wouldn’t it be delightful to bring them back to Qingyun Mountain?

Qin Hao took a deep breath, unable to help but say,

"Look at you, never having seen the world. These things don’t count for much. The real treasures are further inside. If we can take what’s inside, these Immortal Herbs and Spiritual Fruits here, whether we take them or not, doesn’t really matter."
