Cave Mansion Collapses

It was just the Netherworld Profound Tiger, but this place had the Innate Spiritual Root Netherworld Ghost Willow and dense miasma of resentment, so its divine embryo was well-nurtured.

However, the Metal White Tiger divine egg had a somewhat weak aura, its development far inferior to the Netherworld Profound Tiger.

"It seems I'll need to put in some effort to hatch it!"

Luo Qing muttered to himself, then carefully sealed the two divine eggs for the time being.

After collecting the two divine eggs, a spark of spiritual fire appeared on Luo Qing's fingertip, and he touched the ground.

The remaining hundred dead eggs all turned to ash, erasing any trace that divine eggs had been nurtured here.

He searched the entire core area, expecting to find some Innate Spiritual Treasures.

The result, however, greatly disappointed Luo Qing. Other than a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Wind Spirit Pearl, found beneath the roots of the Netherworld Ghost Willow, there were no other extra gains.

[Wind Spirit Pearl]

Quality: Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure

Description: Born from the Great Dao of Wind, it can subdue all winds, suppress storms, and gather the profound rhymes of the wind. Comprehending it allows one to glimpse the rules of wind.

"That makes sense. Spiritual Treasures are trump cards for cultivators. Even when facing a desperate situation, there's no reason to weaken oneself!"

After some thought, Luo Qing understood.

When the Wind Spirit Clan faced a life-or-death crisis back then, they would have needed to strengthen themselves.

They wouldn't have secretly given away powerful spiritual treasures.

This Wind Spirit Pearl was more for comprehending the Dao of Wind and beneficial for nurturing offspring.

Its offensive capabilities were ordinary, which was why it was sent out along with the Innate Verdant Wind Willow.

The other miscellaneous legacies of the deceased Wind Spirit Tiger Clan, as well as the resources nurtured and stored in this grotto-heaven.

Most of them had been corrupted and destroyed by the Netherworld miasma over these twenty thousand years.

Only the spirit ore and precious materials remained in a considerable amount.

After collecting the resources, Luo Qing's gaze locked onto the Innate Netherworld Ghost Willow.

This grotto-heaven had been tainted by the Netherworld miasma, its five elements thrown out of balance, and it was on the verge of destruction.

This Innate Netherworld Ghost Willow definitely had to be transplanted.

However, Luo Qing didn't have any spatial spiritual treasures capable of planting an Innate Spiritual Root.

Ordinary spatial magic tools or spiritual treasure spaces were simply incapable of planting such a heaven and earth spiritual root.

"There's no other way, I can only seal you for now! Your origin has been severely damaged anyway, and it's unknown when you'll recover. Losing a bit more won't matter!"

Luo Qing said, patting the trunk of the Netherworld Ghost Willow.

The tree was full of spiritual essence. Hearing Luo Qing's words, its crown of leaves rustled and swayed as if in a breeze.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you recover your origin and restore your power as a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root in the future."

Luo Qing chuckled, regardless of whether the Netherworld Ghost Willow was willing.

Innate Runes were driven into the ground by Luo Qing one after another.

Before long, the entire small island in the lake, along with the Netherworld Ghost Willow on it, shrank to the size of a basketball and was sealed by Luo Qing.

Due to his limited cultivation, this seal could not prevent the Netherworld Ghost Willow's vitality from draining.

After Luo Qing left this place, he would still need to find a way to plant the Netherworld Ghost Willow.

The moment the Netherworld Ghost Willow was sealed, the entire grotto-heaven shook violently.

The boundaries of the grotto-heaven cracked like a shattered mirror, and spatial rifts began to rapidly devour the grotto-heaven's space.

"The grotto-heaven is collapsing faster!"

Luo Qing's expression turned solemn.

But he didn't leave the grotto-heaven immediately. This grotto-heaven spanned a hundred thousand miles.

He had only plundered the core valley; there were definitely other treasures outside.

Having finally discovered a grotto-heaven, Luo Qing was certainly not going to let it go easily.

Just then, at the entrance of the grotto-heaven.

Shu Dao Ren, in tattered clothes and looking disheveled, stumbled into the grotto-heaven.

With a crack, the sound of shattering glass echoed above Shu Dao Ren's head.

This made Shu Dao Ren's already pale face change again.

"Why am I so unlucky? I finally entered a grotto-heaven, and it's about to collapse!"

"I don't care. If I don't search for some treasures, I won't be reconciled even if I die."

Orienting himself, Shu Dao Ren gritted his teeth and burrowed in the opposite direction of Luo Qing.

"Someone followed me in!"

The moment Shu Dao Ren entered the cave-heaven, Luo Qing noticed him immediately.

However, Luo Qing merely frowned. Seeing that Shu Dao Ren wasn't approaching, he paid the man no mind.

As long as he wasn't disturbed.

Luo Qing rapidly scoured the cave-heaven for various spiritual materials while diligently observing the gradually shattering cave-heaven.

Spatial Immortal Artifacts, Spatial Spiritual Treasures, blessed lands, cave-heavens, small worlds...

Luo Qing had long planned to refine a portable cave mansion. Opportunities to study the shattering of a cave-heaven like this were rare.

While Luo Qing and Shu Dao Ren were searching for spiritual materials and treasures within the cave-heaven...

Outside the cave-heaven, in the core of the canyon.

Several Gold Gods from Cangyun Mountain and Wangyue Immortal City escaped from the entrance formation of the cave-heaven in a sorry state.

"Damn it, this formation's power is too great; even with our combined strength, we couldn't break through!" one Innate Golden God lamented.

"I noticed the person who snuck in earlier has already entered this cave-heaven blessed land.

I don't think we need to rush. We just need to set up a formation at the exit and wait for them to come out, wouldn't that be delightful!" a Golden Immortal chuckled.

The ten Golden Immortals and Gold Gods exchanged glances and all agreed with the suggestion.

Whether or not they entered this cave-heaven blessed land wasn't important; what mattered was obtaining the treasures within first.

Before long, the dozens of Mystic Gods and Mystic Immortals who had survived, along with the ten Golden Immortals and Gold Gods, had set up a net to catch them.

They waited for the people inside the cave-heaven to come out and walk into their trap.

Inside the cave-heaven, ten days had passed.

"Another Nether Stone!"

Luo Qing pulled a ten-thousand-jin giant stone from ten feet underground and muttered.

This cave-heaven did contain quite a few spiritual materials, but likely due to the dense Nether Resentment Qi.

Half of the spiritual materials were of the Nether attribute.

As for Innate Spiritual Treasures, he hadn't discovered any more.

"The Wind Spirit Clan must have had some follow-up escape plans that they didn't have time to execute before their clan was annihilated. Otherwise, there would definitely be more resources in this cave-heaven than this."

Luo Qing mused to himself.

Although there were many spiritual materials in the cave-heaven, they were difficult to match with the status of the Wind Spirit Clan.

"This cave-heaven is about to be destroyed, I should leave too!"

Luo Qing's eyes flashed with a green light as he noticed the outermost ring of the cave-heaven beginning to collapse.

As if a chain reaction had started, the entire cave-heaven was rapidly disintegrating.

If he didn't leave soon, he might be caught in the spatial turbulence, a place where even Golden Immortals could not survive.

Luo Qing glanced at the distant ground, his figure flashed, and he had already slipped through the cave-heaven's exit.

"Phew! He's finally gone! All the good treasures in this cave-heaven must be on him.

But he entered this place a step ahead of me, so his strength must be very high. It's best not to provoke him."

After Luo Qing left, a hundred miles away, Shu Dao Ren patted his chest and leaped out from underground, saying with lingering fear.

Shu Dao Ren felt that Luo Qing must have discovered him.

Shu Dao Ren knew that Cangyun Mountain and Wangyue Immortal City were outside, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

He planned to take advantage of the opportunity when the previous person was fighting with the two major forces to slip away quietly.

So, a quarter of an hour after Luo Qing left, Shu Dao Ren estimated that the time was right and plunged into the exit formation.

However, when Shu Dao Ren once again escaped from the entrance formation in a sorry state.

His eyes widened, and he was stunned.

He saw a Golden Immortal being turned to ashes by Luo Qing.

Looking around, only he and Luo Qing remained in the entire eye of the storm's core.
