A torrent of water formed beneath the Tuolong's body, with its outermost portion completely submerged within the waters.
After entering the water, the Tuolong did not make any sudden movements, but instead slowly moved forward following a trace of decaying gas from the seabed.
With Xu Long clearing the way for it, the Tuolong behind it also learned Lao Yinbi's skills.
The "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound was received within Xu Long's will; the armadillo had discovered the anomaly while exploring ahead.
Xu Long focused the golden light in his eyes and looked into the water, where some turbid currents were already surging in the depths.
A major battle must have taken place here, given how conspicuous the murky water is.
Moreover, there were some remains of low-level ferocious beasts among the vegetation.
Xu Long extended his will, slowly searching for Silk in the arena.
Sure enough, a trace of the aura of the cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge was detected in that arena.
The aura of the cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge was very easy to identify, after all, Xu Long still had He Ning's copper ring on his body.
Upon detecting the presence of the cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, Xu Long's brows furrowed instantly.
Because in the lingering aftershocks, he seemed to detect the aura of a ferocious beast.
Like the Tuolong they had fought before, these auras belonged to ferocious beasts with the strength of Half-Step Golden Immortal.
Did the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge really fight a ferocious beast that Half-Step Golden Immortal in the water?
With such a fierce battle raging on the seabed, resulting in the deaths of so many low-level ferocious beasts, wouldn't the Beast King, residing deep within the waters, intervene?
These cultivators are now considered outsiders.
Judging from the previous encounter with the Tuolong and Xu Long, it's clear that these ferocious aquatic beasts harbor a strong intention to annihilate any outside cultivators.
But then Xu Long thought again: the people of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were fighting a fierce battle with the ferocious beasts here, even at the risk of alarming the Beast King deep in the water.
Could it be that the spirit plant has truly been discovered?
Xu Long's gaze suddenly sharpened. After mentally calculating the situation, he immediately extended his will onto the armadillo.
But the armadillo ahead had already run away for some reason.
Xu Long's heart sank. This guy was extremely skilled at exploring spiritual objects, but he was also very sensitive to the possibility of danger.
Those who escaped first must have discovered something ahead.
Xu Long cursed inwardly; he could no longer rely on the armadillo to secretly collect spiritual essence.
What's meant to happen will happen. Xu Long's expression shifted, realizing he couldn't avoid a fight in the water.
It then transformed into a streak of light within the murky water, rushing towards the location the armadillo had avoided.
Beyond the rebellious, turbid waters, a solitary mountain rises majestically within the waters.
Upon reaching this point, we were in the depths of the water, and the fragrance was becoming increasingly strong.
As the aroma wafted out, schools of fish around the mountain couldn't help but swarm towards it.
The allure of spirits is the same for all living beings; within that mountain range, countless clouds trembled.
They were arranged densely together, and as the medicinal fragrance carried by the water spread across the seabed, the fish floated slowly in the current.
Countless fish swam in those stretches of water, creating a spectacular sight when they moved in unison.
Xu Long was instantly drawn to the sight, but this was definitely not the time to observe the movement of the fish.
The fish within the mountain range are all attracted by the fragrance, which means that the spirit resides within that mountain range.
At that moment, a tremendous roar came from the bottom of that mountain range.
When Xu Long focused the golden light in his eyes, he scanned the location from which the roaring sound came and saw a magic seal rising high above.
Before engaging in battle with the ferocious beast, all the cultivators concealed their auras.
Now that they were already entangled with the high-level ferocious beast, the cultivators present no longer hid and simply engaged in a fierce battle with the beast at the bottom of the mountain.
The spirit is located within this majestic mountain range. As long as we defeat the attacking high-level ferocious beast, the spirit will be ours to Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge.
After surveying the entire crowd, the blue-robed cultivator extended his True Spirit.
Seemingly searching for something within the mountain, the blue-robed cultivator carefully followed the source of the medicinal fragrance, and a slight relaxation appeared on his face.
But a sense of urgency flickered in his eyes, for three more high-level ferocious beasts were lurking at the foot of the mountain.
These ferocious beasts are all subordinates of the Beast King of the waters, and they were born subdued by King Yuanyuan.
The high-level ferocious beasts in the water are all at the Half-Step Golden Immortal level. As long as that spiritual essence matures, they can step into the Great King realm, just like King Yuanyuan.
This is the most deadly temptation for high-level ferocious beasts. In the Boundless Wilderness and Vast Sea, countless ferocious beasts roam freely Wuji.
But between the Great Sage and the Great King, the King Yuanyuan is a very high threshold.
Beast King do exist in the Vast Sea, but they are extremely rare.
And there are even more so-called high-level ferocious beasts.
These high-level ferocious beasts have guarded this spiritual plant in the waters for an unknown amount of time, all so that they might one day reach the Great King realm.
But at this moment, when the spiritual essence was ripe, the outside cultivators disregarded the might of the Great King and tried to enter the waters to reap the rewards!
How could a high-level ferocious beast tolerate this?
Upon discovering the cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, the high-level ferocious beasts in the waters, who were usually somewhat hostile to each other, actually united.
Several high-level ferocious beasts roared repeatedly in front of the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, their eyes filled with fury.
Their heads were held high, facing the blue-robed cultivators. There were also several other tall figures standing before the blue-robed cultivators.
This is the companion beast of the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, their contracted partner with whom they have spent countless years.
When its master is threatened, a fierce rage also ignites in the eyes of the companion beast.
The two sides have now reached a stalemate at the foot of this mountain, and have exchanged small-scale blows.
There are three high-level ferocious beasts present, and five people on Xianxia's side.
After a brief standoff, the blue-robed cultivator transmitted his voice to the cultivator in front of him:
"Fellow disciples, we have found the Immortal Ginseng in the mountains, but it is currently blocked by several monstrous beasts. Senior Brother He and Junior Brother Li intend to go ahead first, pick the Immortal Ginseng, and then rejoin the three of you. What do you all think? Please decide quickly!"
When the blue-robed cultivators heard the words " Immortal Ginseng," a glint of greed flashed in their eyes.
This is the essence of heaven and earth that made the disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge risk alarming the Beast King — the Immortal Ginseng!
This Immortal Ginseng is an extremely special spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and it is of little use to ordinary Mystic Immortal cultivators.
However, it is of great use to cultivators in the Late-stage Mystic Immortal or even Half-Step Golden Immortal.
Because Immortal Ginseng has the wonderful use of being used in medicine and making pills, by using Immortal Ginseng and supplementing it with other precious spiritual essences of heaven and earth, a kind of pill called " Herbal Revival Pill " can be made.
This is a precious medicine that can help Late-stage Mystic Immortal achieve the Golden Immortal Realm realm!
Immortal Ginseng! Herbal Revival Pill! The Realm of the Golden Immortal Realm!
The mere thought of these words evoked an almost instinctive pursuit and desire in the minds of both cultivators and ferocious beasts.
The reason for trespassing into the Beast King's territory is simply to seize an opportunity that belongs to them.
But after Senior Brother He finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.
The three who remained had to face a high-level ferocious beast alone, while the other two were able to go into the mountains to pick precious Immortal Ginseng.
This decision to divide the troops was, in my heart, a last resort.
When the True Spirit reached out, it not only detected the location of the Immortal Ginseng, but also sensed the aura of the disciple from Luo River Valley.
Seeing that his fellow disciples had all fallen silent, the Senior Brother He behind them had no choice but to speak again in an urgent tone:
"My fellow disciples are only defending against the modified beasts at the foot of the mountain, but when we ascend, we will face the bandits of Luo River Valley!"
"What! The Luo Water bandits have also entered the inner waters!"
"While we were battling a powerful ferocious beast at the foot of the mountain, that scoundrel actually ventured deep into the mountainside!"
"Outrageous! That scoundrel from Luo Water is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing! You and your brother must hurry up the mountain and pick that Immortal Ginseng; we mustn't let it fall into the hands of that scoundrel from Luo Water!"
Upon hearing the Luo Water disciples appearing and disappearing among the mountains, the previously silent group of people immediately became excited.
In their eyes, they were battling a high-level ferocious beast inside the water, even attracting the attention of the Beast King.
But the bandits from the Luo Water were secretly picking peaches behind their backs, which was intolerable to everyone.
Even if they were facing those three high-level ferocious beasts and putting themselves in danger, they would not give the Immortal Ginseng to the disciples of Luo Water for nothing.
Seeing that everyone was getting emotional, the Senior Brother He behind him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His biggest fear was that the crowd would be distracted at crucial moments, allowing the disciples of Luo Water to harvest the Immortal Ginseng.
This would not only force everyone to face the wrath of the high-level ferocious beast, but would also cause the sect's mission to fail.
After making some arrangements, he and his senior brother left first, accompanied by a cultivator.
The three remaining cultivators roared in unison and launched an attack on the high-level ferocious beasts.
Several magical seals suddenly surged up at the base of the mountain, and the roar of the ferocious beast echoed across the foot of the mountain at the same time.
After seeing the two people leave, the three ferocious beasts immediately surrounded them.
The three cultivators, along with their mortal beast, were trapped inside.
roar!
A furious roar erupted from the beast's mouth as it charged straight at the rising magic seal from the bottom of the mountain.
A fierce battle erupted in an instant, and the three cultivators present, along with their companion beast, were also drawn into the fray.
In an instant, countless bubbles rose up in this body of water.
When the three high-level ferocious beasts converged, they altered the flow of water within the area.
The ferocious beasts in the Vast Sea are born with the ability to control water. After surrounding the cultivators, the several huge figures began to attack.
But at that moment, the accompanying ferocious beast suddenly sprang into action, its shrill roar erupting from the bottom of the mountain.
The voices of cultivators and ferocious beasts mingled together, and the roars of symbiotic ferocious beasts and aquatic ferocious beasts were indistinguishable from each other.
After a strong tremor, even the fish in the mountains were affected.
Despite the strong medicinal aroma attracting the fish, the group subconsciously sensed a crisis.
The cultivators from earlier have now arrived at the mountain.
When Xu Long saw the cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge in the distance, his eyes gradually narrowed.
Since these cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge are willing to risk their lives, it seems that the spiritual essence of heaven and earth emitting a medicinal fragrance truly has a strong attraction for them.
What he needed was information about the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge.
Xu Long did not see He Huaibao at all along the way.
Since we parted ways in that desolate trench, this fellow has vanished as if into the Vast Sea, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Moreover, even in this precious spiritual water, there was no trace of the He Huaibao.
The effect of this spirit is definitely extraordinary, and the disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge would certainly not care so much about it, but He Huaibao did not appear here.
It seems we really have gone to a mysterious place. The fact that we didn't find the He Huaibao here proves that there is something more important than the precious spirit essence!
The Land of Heritage!
Suddenly, the image of this mysterious place popped into Xu Long's mind.
Then he realized that he hadn't found any trace of Li Jianxin and Falu along the way.
And that eerie aura—it was as if they had all evaporated in the Vast Sea.
While Xu Long was collecting various spiritual essences, none of these cultivators were in the ferocious beast dojo; only a few cultivators were still collecting spiritual essences from heaven and earth.
But Xu Long knew that they were just disciples who had been assigned to the task.
The cultivators who truly sought to seize the inherited artifact had already received word of its location.
Since He Huaibao disappeared first, these disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge must know something about it.
Xu Long thought about it for a moment, and then firmly memorized the face of the blue-robed cultivator.
This person was second only to He Huaibao in status among the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge.
He must know where He Huaibao is and the secrets of this Vast Sea.
After considering the matter in his mind, Xu Long suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
While he was still gathering spiritual essences of heaven and earth in the Vast Sea, those who were truly prepared had already begun searching for the treasures of inheritance.
It seems that each cultivator had clearly defined their mission before entering the Vast Sea.
Some people enter the Vast Sea specifically for the items to be passed down, while the other disciples go there to collect the spiritual essences of heaven and earth.
Although both involve venturing into the Vast Sea to seek opportunities, the differences between the two are considerable.
The choices made in this Vast Sea have already been clearly defined by each party.
Only Xu Long, without having mastered the inherited item, was still collecting those precious spiritual essences of heaven and earth.
You must know that the most important thing in the Vast Sea is the thing that is passed down!
Although the Sect Master Yunlong gave everyone the choice to decide whether to advance or retreat, Xu Long entered the Vast Sea with the intention of seizing the inherited item.
At this moment, the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were among the mountains, and the only way to find out He Huaibao had gone was by talking to them.
Having figured this out, Xu Long's figure flashed.
He gradually transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the mountain.
Down the mountain, several high-level ferocious beasts were fighting with the disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge.
But Xu Long knew he couldn't dodge it; the disciples of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge had to fight fierce beasts to enter the mountains and gather spiritual essence.
The same applies to others entering; these high-level ferocious beasts are all in a desperate, life-or-death stance.
It seems that the rarity of this spirit essence surprised Xu Long somewhat.
Moreover, as they approached the mountain, Xu Long's outstretched will detected a trace of other energy.
This is the aura of a cultivator from Luo River Valley!
