A Gathering of Experts (No More Today)
A vast plain stretched out before thick streaks of golden lightning ripped through the sky, striking downwards.
Chu Buyu stood on a low earthen slope, enveloped in a thick red light curtain with a flame pattern on its surface.
A Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle with a wingspan of over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) circled high in the sky, unleashing thick bolts of golden lightning to attack Chu Buyu.
Chu Buyu commanded the Li Fire Flag, releasing Giant Fireball that blocked the incoming golden lightning.
A deafening explosion rang out, and Golden Thunder Light and crimson flames lit up the sky, accompanied by rolling shockwaves.
Chu Buyu frowned, took out a yellow Jade Ruler about a foot long, and gently waved it. A Yellow Light Screen appeared and covered her whole body.
Her body slowly sank, as if she were trying to escape underground.
Once Chu Buyu Earth Escape Technique, the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle will have no way to catch up.
The Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle opened its beak and spat out a thick bolt of golden lightning, which struck the red light barrier accurately, enveloping Chu Buyu's figure in Golden Thunder Light.
A Golden Thunder Light flashed, Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle appeared above Chu Buyu's head, its sharp claws heading straight for the Golden Thunder Light.
Its sharp claws sank into the lightning with a muffled thud, as if blocked by something.
A snow-blue Fire Phoenix flew out from the lightning and crashed into the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle, engulfing its body in a burst of Snow Blue Flame.
It froze rapidly, turning into an ice sculpture.
A Golden Flying Knife shot out and cleaved the ice sculpture in two.
The lightning dissipated, revealing Chu Buyu's figure; she was unharmed.
"Without physical form, wisdom is base; they are so easily deceived."
Chu Buyu muttered to himself as he collected the corpse of the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle.
A snow- Blue Fire Phoenix flew into her sleeve; this was Fourth-Order Spirit Flame.
She spent over a hundred years searching far and wide for Spirit Flame, finally managing to cultivate her own Spirit Flame to the fourth rank.
"Secret Realm? Or the Ascension Cave Abode of a powerful being who passed away? Or ruins?"
Chu Buyu muttered to himself, his face full of curiosity.
She sensed something, her Yellow Light Screen shone brightly, and she vanished into the ground.
After a while, thousands of Cyan Demon Wolf came running from afar, the Wolf King being Late Fourth Rank wolf.

Outside the Daoist Field, a Golden Escape Light flew in from the distant horizon and stopped in a flash.
The Escape Light, revealing a Golden Flying Boat over ten zhang long, with four men and one woman standing on it, including Wu Yue and Wu Xian.
"Is this Secret Realm? Or the ruins of some major sect?"
Wu Xian stared at the Purple Light Gate in mid-air, his face full of curiosity.
"You won't see anything from the outside, but you'll find out once you go inside."
Wu Yue said, and with a hand seal, the Golden Flying Boat flew towards the Purple Light Gate.
The Golden Flying Boat boat entered the Purple Light Gate without triggering any restrictions.
An hour later, a Purple Centipede more than ten feet long flew in from afar and stopped in mid-air.
Three men and one woman stood on top, with a portly old man in a golden robe at the head.
"A purple sun... could it be the Daoist Field of True Monarch Purple Sun?"
A voluptuous woman in a gold dress asked curiously.
"It's hard to say. We'll find out once we go in. Even if it's not the Daoist Field of True Monarch Purple Sun, it's probably the ruins or Secret Realm of a major power."
The old man in the golden robe said in a deep voice.
Wu Tianxin, Nascent Soul Middle Stage.
"I reckon some cultivators have already gone in to search for treasure. Let's go in and search for treasure too! Hopefully, we'll have a major haul."
The woman in the gold dress offered her advice.
Wu Tianxin probed the Purple Light Gate Purple Light Gate confirmed that there were no restrictions before controlling the Purple Centipede to fly into it.
······
A Giant Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, within which lies a sprawling estate.
The manor was mostly destroyed, and many empty fields could be seen. The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada was perched on the head of the Fire Qilin Beast, while the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox stood to the side.
Shen Long emerged from a mostly collapsed blue pavilion, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"It's actually the Daoist Field of True Monarch Purple Sun! It seems there must be True Monarch Purple Sun's legacy here."
Shen Long muttered to himself.
He found the manor, but not a single spirit medicine; instead, he found some Jade Slip.
Several Jade Slip mentioned True Monarch Purple Sun's alchemy and cultivation insights. In his early years, True Monarch Purple Sun discovered an unknown Secret Realm and found many high-grade spirit medicine.
True Monarch Purple Sun used these spirit medicine herbs to refine pills, constantly improving his alchemy skills. Later, he transformed this place into Daoist Field and cultivated here.
As for where the legacy of True Monarch Purple Sun is located, the Jade Slip does not mention it, but it should be here.
"If there truly is a legacy, the place where it is stored must be protected by powerful restrictions, unlike this place, which is merely a Spirit Herb Garden."
Shen Long analyzed.
"It's up to you now."
Shen Long took out a Golden Ginseng and fed it to the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada.
The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada emitted a cheerful chirping sound, its eyes gleaming with dazzling golden light.
"Oh, the Soul-Shattering Palace cultivator, Mu Lang is here too."
Shen Long let out a soft "hmm," and frowned.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox opened its mouth and spewed out a large cloud of blue mist, enveloping the entire manor.
Before long, the blue mist dissipated, the manor vanished, and the valley was overgrown with weeds.
After a while, a Golden Thunder Light appeared, revealing a Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle covered in wounds.
With a gentle flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle flew for over ten miles before rapidly plummeting towards the ground.
Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater. Its body turned into blood and water at a visible speed, leaving no trace of its remains.
A Green Flying Boat, over ten zhang long, flew in from a distance, then stopped with a flash. Mu Lang and his four companions stood on the Green Flying Boat.
"There are no Thunder-Absorbing Bead or Thunder-Guiding Bead."
Wu Jiao frowned and said.
"Never mind if there aren't any. The fact that there's a Late Fourth Rank Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle here makes me wonder if there are any fifth-tier Demon Beast."
Mu Lang said.
"There's a spatial restriction here. Junior Brother Xu's Li Fire Falcon he nurtured for many years, was destroyed by the restriction. There's no need for us to fly; triggering the restriction would only cause trouble."
Wu Jiao suggested.
Mu Lang nodded, made a hand seal, and the Green Flying Boat slowly landed.
He put away the Green Flying Boat, and the five of them walked towards a Cyan Dense Forest not far away, disappearing into the forest.
From beginning to end, they paid no attention to the Giant Valley.
An hour later, a beam of light shone within the Giant Valley, Shen Long appeared, draped in Spirit-Hiding Cloak.
The Green-Eyed Spirit Fox's illusion magic was indeed powerful; Mu Lang hadn't even noticed anything amiss.
"One Nascent Soul Late Stage and four Nascent Soul Middle Stage, just passing by? Or did they come specifically for the Daoist Field?"
Shen Long muttered to himself.
"It seems we need to get ahead of them and obtain the inheritance of True Monarch Purple Sun."
Shen Long was talking to himself.
Mu Lang and Wu Jiao's casual conversation reminded Shen Long that there were powerful spatial restrictions here, and it was best not to fly. This would greatly reduce their efficiency in exploring the Daoist Field, which was a good thing for Shen Long.
He possesses Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada and Purple Pupil Bead, making it easy for him to investigate.
Shen Long unleashed his Purple Pupil Bead, which emitted a blinding Purple Pupil Bead light. He then headed northwest, in the opposite direction from Mu Lang and his group of five.
