Chapter 251: The Disappeared Ancient Sect
"Could there be any unexpected situations?" asked the pure and innocent Yu Lingzhou, her delicate eyebrows furrowing as she spoke. Her powerful divine sense swept through the surrounding area of millions of miles, but she didn't find any crisis that was difficult to deal with.
Princess Long Yi relayed Qin Muling's estimation and pondered, "If this place is really the private territory of a prominent figure from the Heavenly Human Race, then we can only leave immediately and not touch anything here."
For the sake of caution, perhaps even the mining base that is currently being exploited should be abandoned immediately and a more suitable area should be chosen.
Yu Lingzhou's expression became serious as she looked at Qin Muling. "Junior Brother, do you think we should do this?"
Qin Muling silently calculated his luck and found nothing unusual. He shook his head and said, "Luck hasn't warned us, so we can be sure that no one has set foot here for millions of years. We are the first visitors, and we have no connection with the Heavenly Human Race."
"That's good to hear. Then..." Yu Lingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some curiosity. If it's not the Heavenly Human Race or other sects' cultivators, then who exactly is it? Could there be a third party force in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm?
"I think... we can't rule out this possibility," Princess Long Yi said softly. The true origin of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm is recorded in some secret files in the Dao Court's storeroom, and there are also research and analysis by some ancient powerhouses from the primordial era. There are also some top-secret messages that were originally only passed down between the Quasi-Saint Emperors, and she has heard of them.
As early as the heyday of the ancient immortal civilization, there were rumors that the Illusory Mist Secret Realm was the legendary Immortal World or a fragment that fell from a larger space-time world. Therefore, it has various magical and incredible aspects.
After countless unimaginable years have passed, this seemingly absurd speculation has never been confirmed or refuted by anyone.
Qin Muling nodded, "My intuition tells me that perhaps some of these speculations are not groundless. If the Illusory Mist Secret Realm was really once a part of a powerful space-time world, then the appearance of multiple different forces is completely normal, but they disappeared later for some reason."
Yue Yi, the intellectual and gentle Heavenly Emperor, blinked her bright and beautiful eyes and agreed, "That should be the case. It is said that the vastness of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm is no less than that of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, but so far, there is only the Heavenly Human Race as a force here. This is obviously a bit strange."
"So, it is necessary for us to carefully explore here. Maybe we will discover something different," Qin Muling said. His intuition rarely goes wrong, and this time should be no exception.
"Alright, let's go together then."
Yu Lingzhou agreed, and Xue Bingxuan and the others were helping Heavenly Monarch Bing Yuan with miscellaneous tasks. This time, they didn't come along, but with herself and Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi, Qin Muling's safety was not a problem.
Qin Muling dismounted and used a spiritual technique to move swiftly with the wind. After a moment, she approached a tall tree called the Dragon Whisker Silver Scale Snowline Pine, which was bathed in radiant and resplendent colors, emitting a faint fragrance. It exuded an ancient and profound aura, as well as an unimaginable vitality.
"This... should be at the level of Heavenly Medicine, right?"
Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi's mouth slightly opened, his beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. The Dragon Whisker Silver Scale Snowline Pine was also cultivated in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Its leaves, fruits, and even its bark and sap could be used for medicine and alchemy. However, its growth was extremely slow, taking around twenty thousand years to reach a height of several zhang.
In the main hall of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, the tallest Dragon Whisker Silver Scale Snowline Pine was only about ten zhang tall, indicating it was a Divine Medicine with an age of approximately two hundred thousand years. The tree before them was obviously a Heavenly Medicine with an age of over two million years, something that couldn't be found in the Dao Court's medicinal garden.
"It's ours!"
Yu Lingzhou's eyes sparkled. Although they wouldn't lack Heavenly Medicine in the future with Qin Muling around, no one would complain about having more of such a good thing.
Heavenly Monarch Yue Yi nodded slightly and was about to collect it, but was stopped by Qin Muling. "Wait a moment, Senior Sister, let me take a look."
Saying that, he crouched down by the roots of the Dragon Whisker Silver Scale Snowline Pine and silently observed for a few moments, already having a clear understanding in his heart.
Qin Muling gently raised her hand, and an invisible force pushed aside the soil around the base of the tree, revealing its densely intertwined root system.
Princess Long Yi sensed something and quickly came over to help. They dug down more than twenty zhang deep and indeed made a different discovery.
Beneath a particularly thick and snow-white root, there was an odd symbol embedded, emitting a flickering spiritual light. The surface of the symbol, the size of a fingernail, faintly revealed intricate and granular light-quality runes, exuding a subtle and profound magical power fluctuation.
It had completely merged with this Divine Medicine, relying on the vitality of the Divine Medicine itself and the spiritual energy in the earth's veins to maintain its effectiveness. In theory, it could withstand the passage of billions of years without losing its power.
"Indeed, there is such a thing."
Yu Lingzhou delicately reached out and took the symbol into her hand to examine it carefully. "Its effect should be a forbidden spirit, but the method of refining... is completely different from any sect or power in the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and it doesn't seem like a technique of the Heavenly Human Race either. So, it should come from some ancient and long-lost tradition?"
"It should be like that!"
Qin Muling gently exhaled. There were already many hidden secrets and rumors in the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, so there didn't seem to be anything surprising about adding one more.
As for the true reason for the disappearance of this lineage's power, it's hard to say. It's possible that it was destroyed by the Heavenly Human Race, or it was destroyed in a war with other forces, or it could be due to some other uncontrollable factors.
Anyway, since ancient times, countless lineage powers, powerful figures, and immortal sacred lands have been lost in the river of time for various reasons, and even the Quasi-Saint Emperors cannot guarantee their own immortality and eternal existence, let alone others.
Qin Muling pondered for a moment, placed his palm on the tree trunk, and his whole body turned into a purple spiritual light that merged into the Heavenly Medicine. Then he appeared next to another Heavenly Medicine hundreds of miles away, and immediately disappeared again.
Innate Five Elements Wood Escape.
Within a few breaths, Qin Muling had traveled back and forth within a radius of ten thousand miles. Even Feng Xia, who was at the Profound Immortal realm, had difficulty locking onto his figure. This innate ability derived from the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed cannot be restrained unless one's cultivation realm far surpasses it.
As expected, Qin Muling found similar forbidden spirit symbols near the root systems of almost every Holy Medicine and Divine Medicine. There were also numerous small forbidden spirit formations operating beneath the ground. All plants and trees growing in this area could not escape their influence.
Obviously, this large area of spiritual veins and blessed land should have been the ancient medicinal garden of that lineage. Although it had long since disappeared, these hidden arrangements still played a role.
"There are quite a few Divine Medicines and Heavenly Medicines in this area. Let's pick and collect them first!"
Qin Muling said as he returned to the side of the women. Since it was a lineage that had long disappeared, this medicinal garden naturally became ownerless, so they might as well take advantage of it.
"Okay."
Yu Lingzhou nodded and sent half of the elders to search for resources, while the rest remained by Qin Muling's side, never leaving a step.
This was an order from the sect leader Mu Yinghua. At any time and under any circumstances, the guarding force around Qin Muling must not be less than five hundred elders. Anyone who wanted to harm him would have to step over their corpses.
Qin Muling himself was not idle either. With his current vision, he no longer cared much about the resources of Holy Medicine. Only new varieties that were not found in the Extreme Void Starry Sky would be worth collecting.
Living creatures could not be stored in ordinary spatial Law Weapons, so Qin Muling stored those new varieties of medicinal materials and herbs in his internal space. When he returned to the sect's main altar in the future, Mu Yinghua could arrange a special medicinal garden for them.
In a short time, all the Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine resources within tens of thousands of miles were completely excavated. Yu Lingzhou had already stated beforehand that they could keep the Holy Medicine Divine Medicine for themselves, but the resources at the level of Heavenly Medicine must be handed over to the sect, and the elders had no objections to this.
"Alright, let's go to the next area to search!"
Qin Muling said. They were currently only at the edge of this ancient medicinal garden. The deeper they went, the more Heavenly Medicine resources there would be, and the value of any one of them would be unimaginable.
In this way, the women continued to advance and sweep through the area. Soon, all the Law Weapons they carried were filled to the brim, so they started to store them in the internal space of Qin Muling's Azure Lotus phantom.
After one day and one night, Qin Muling had already traveled millions of miles with them. As they gradually approached the main spiritual vein area underground, the surrounding spiritual energy became more abundant, turning into a vast white mist that enveloped the surroundings.
The increasingly terrifying spiritual power tide was becoming difficult for even Kong Yuhuan to bear. After all, she was still only in the Origin Immortal Realm, and her physical strength was limited. She couldn't use the power of Divine Ability beyond the peak of the Immortal Ascension Realm, so it was inevitable that she would suffer. Later, it was Princess Long Yi who protected her and prevented her from getting injured.
As for Qin Muling, she didn't mind. The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed perfectly dissolved and resolved all the pressure, like an endless black hole, constantly devouring and absorbing massive amounts of spiritual essence.
Along the way, there were more and more Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine resources. Eventually, even the space inside Qin Muling's body was almost full, so she had to temporarily return and empty the space before continuing to plunder.
"...Junior Brother, what is that?" After passing through a steep and towering cliff, Princess Long Yi, who was walking at the front, exclaimed softly.
In the spacious valley plain, a large area of building ruins shimmering with faint spiritual light suddenly appeared, stretching to the end of the field of vision, leaving everyone stunned for a moment.
Although most of the buildings had collapsed after being abandoned for a long time, one could still imagine how magnificent and grand they were back then. They were comparable to the important places of the Dao Court.
Moreover, the architectural style of these ruins had no resemblance to the buildings of the Heavenly Human Race, let alone the forces of the Dao Court in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.
At this point, there was solid evidence to support the speculation about the ancient Dao tradition.
"Let's go, let's go and take a look together!" Yu Lingzhou sensed for a moment and didn't detect any hidden danger, so she said.
The women formed a formation and cautiously flew closer to the edge of the ruins, constantly using various detection Divine Ability spells.
Qin Muling waved her hand and drew a half piece of wall brick from the nearby ground, examining it closely.
The translucent wall brick was quite heavy, neither gold nor jade-like in appearance. It had intricate and delicate patterns on it. Its toughness exceeded expectations. After Yu Lingzhou took it and examined it for a few moments, she came to a definite conclusion: this material was enough to be used to forge a low-grade Law Treasure.
Qin Muling couldn't help but feel a chill. The precious material that could be used to forge a Law Treasure was only used to build walls here. It was unimaginable how extravagant this ancient Dao tradition must have been back then.
