Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Murong Xiaoxiao, Bai Ye, and Lu Yuan made their moves at the same time, and a terrifying energy sphere appeared. In an instant, it covered the entire palace from the inside, completely sealing the unknown object within.
The deep blue energy sphere had runes flowing around it. Although it was casually set up by the three geniuses, its power was already extremely terrifying. No one below the Shura Martial God Realm could break it.
Bang!
However, they were wrong. A ray of cyan light flashed past, and a large hole was instantly created in the spirit formation that the three of them had jointly set up. By the time the three of them managed to react, that ray of cyan light had already entered a Spatial Teleportation Gate and entered a certain Paradise Forbidden Area.
"What is that? It can actually break the energy sphere that we set up? "Bai Ye and the other two were shocked.
"It's a level five celestial herb!"
At that moment, the three elders appeared in the palace silently. However, not only were the three elders drenched in sweat, but their faces were also pale. It was obvious that it took them a lot of effort to break the straw box.
"A level five celestial herb? It's so powerful? "Bai Ye and the other two were shocked again.
"A normal level five celestial herb naturally wouldn't be this powerful. However, this level five celestial herb absorbed our energy," Elder Lei Dong explained.
"Elder Zhuge, thank you for reminding us just now. Otherwise, the three of us would be in trouble." Elder Qiu Yue looked at Elder Zhuge gratefully.
"Yeah, if Elder Zhuge didn't see through the energy sphere at the crucial moment, this would be unimaginable." It was not only Elder Qiu Yue. Even the arrogant Elder Lei Dong's face was filled with gratitude.
"Don't mention it, elders. I just didn't expect the level five celestial herb to be so intelligent. It actually escaped into the Misty Cave Abode," Elder Zhuge was a little ashamed because the credit was not his, but Xing Jue's.
"Don't worry. The Misty Cave Abode is the highest forbidden area of the Misty Peak. With the strength of that level five celestial herb, it will never be able to leave the cave abode."
"Elder Zhuge, Elder Lei Dong, why don't the three of us enter together and catch it with our own abilities? Whoever catches it gets it. What do you think?" Elder Qiu Yue suggested.
"Elder Qiu Yue, are you serious?" Elder Lei Dong seemed to be in slight disbelief. After all, a Level Five Immortal Herb was an extremely valuable item, and it was extremely tempting to them.
"Yes." Elder Qiu Yue nodded.
"Haha, how refreshing."
"However, I feel that the three of us are making a mountain out of a molehill for a mere Level Five Immortal Herb." Elder Lei Dong smiled meaningfully.
"Elder Lei Dong, what do you mean?" Elder Qiu Yue asked.
"With the strength of the three of us, even if we obtain this immortal herb, it won't be of much use. It's simply impossible for us to rely on this immortal herb to increase our strength. So, why don't we leave this opportunity to our juniors?"
"It just so happens that the direct disciples of our three peaks are all here. Why don't we let them replace the three of us and enter it? Whoever obtains the Immortal Herb will be the one to keep it." Elder Lei Dong said with a face full of smiles.
"This …" After hearing his suggestion, Elder Zhuge and Elder Qiu Yue were in a dilemma.
Lu Yuan, Bai Ye, and Murong Xiaoxiao were indeed the most outstanding juniors of their three peaks. However, the three of them had already determined who was stronger on the World Ranking.
If the three of them were to really fight for the Immortal Herb, it was obvious that Bai Ye had the highest chance. This was clearly unfair.
"I have no objections. Are the three of you willing?" Although she was dissatisfied, Elder Qiu Yue did not refute. Instead, she let Murong Xiaoxiao and the other two make the decision.
"I am willing," Bai Ye agreed without hesitation. His face was filled with excitement.
"I am willing." Although Murong Xiaoxiao and Lu Yuan were a little hesitant, they quickly agreed. After all, this was a rare opportunity and they also wanted to give it a try.
"Very good. As expected of the future pillars of our Mount Five Fingers. You are indeed promising. As your seniors, as a form of encouragement, I present a bottle of Level Five Body Refining Essence."
"This essence is refined from a Level Five Immortal Herb. Its value is not much lower than that of a Level Five Immortal Herb. Even if you are Asura Martial Gods, it will still be of great help."
"As long as one of you can successfully obtain the Immortal Herb, this bottle of Body Refining Essence will belong to him." Elder Lei Dong took out a green jade bottle with a flip of his hand.
After seeing the Body Refining Essence, Xing Jue's heartbeat sped up. A Level Five Body Refining Essence. Just by thinking about it, one could tell that it was a powerful medicinal effect. It was definitely a treasure for cultivation.
It wasn't just Xing Jue. Even Lu Yuan and the other two's eyes lit up when they saw the Grade Five Body Refining Essence.
At their realm, advancing one step further was akin to ascending the heavens. Although the effect of the Level Five Body Refining Essence was not as great to them as it was to Asura Wu Zun, it was still a great help and a treasure that was hard to find.
"Elders, the juniors are so praiseworthy. Shouldn't we also express our gratitude?" After Elder Lei Dong took out the Level Five Body Refining Essence, he actually looked at Elder Zhuge and Elder Qiu Yue with narrowed eyes.
"Dammit, this old bastard." Seeing this, Xing Jue cursed in his heart.
Elder Lei Dong was not rewarding the juniors. He was simply asking for good luck for Bai Ye. Although the three of them were Asura Martial Gods, everyone knew that Bai Ye had the highest chance of obtaining the Immortal Herb. After all, he was the second on the World List.
"Eh …" As expected, after hearing Elder Lei Dong's words, Elder Zhuge and Elder Qiu Yue's faces turned ugly and they looked at each other.
"Heh, if that's the case, I naturally cannot be stingy. This is the Soul Sealing Pill, a Level Five Elixir."
"Although it does not have the effect of bringing the dead back to life, it can preserve the soul when the soul is shattered." Elder Zhuge smiled bitterly and took out a Level Five Elixir.
However, speaking of which, Elder Zhuge's Level Five Elixir was much more inferior than Elder Lei Dong's Level Five Body Refining Essence. However, it was a Level Five Elixir after all. It was already an extremely precious item.
Seeing that Elder Zhuge had also taken out a gift, Elder Qiu Yue could not be stingy. She turned her wrist and a small white crane made of jade appeared in her palm.
"It's a Mechanism Jade Crane. Elder Qiu Yue, isn't this your treasure?" When the item appeared, before Elder Qiu Yue could explain, Elder Lei Dong's face was filled with surprise and excitement.
"Heh, it's a transportation item. Now that I have reached the Middle Stage Asura Martial God, it is not very useful anymore. Why don't I reward it to the juniors?" Elder Qiu Yue smiled faintly.
Although she did not explain the function of the so-called Mechanism Jade Crane, Xing Jue and the others could tell from her words that the Mechanism Jade Crane should be a transportation item.
Moreover, Xing Jue could feel that the material of the small jade box was not ordinary. It could even be compared to Bao 'er's Mechanism Ship. It must be a treasure that could fly in the Space Tunnel.
If that was really the case, then the value of the Mechanism Jade Crane was definitely not inferior to Elder Lei Dong's Level Five Body Refining Essence. It might even be more valuable.
After all, no matter how valuable the Level Five Body Refining Essence was, it could only be used for a short period of time. However, the Mechanism Jade Crane was a practical item that could be used for a lifetime.
At this moment, Xing Jue was not the only one whose heart was pounding. Even the three geniuses were filled with anticipation. At this moment, the value of that Grade 5 immortal herb was no longer just a single immortal herb. There were three other precious items as well. This was a huge temptation.
"Alright. From now on, you have five days. If the three of you cannot catch the Immortal Herb within five days, the three of us will do it for you," Elder Qiu Yue said solemnly.
"We understand," the three of them replied. As they spoke, they prepared to enter the Space Portal.
"Wait." However, at that moment, Elder Lei Dong's voice was heard again.
"What now?" Elder Zhuge, who had always been calm, was also a little angry. He did not know what tricks Elder Lei Dong had up his sleeves.
"Since it is a competition between the younger generation, we naturally have to give them a chance."
"Although Nephew Xing Jue's strength is slightly weaker, his qualifications are extraordinary. To be able to obtain so many tokens in the assessment of the Soul Source Center, he must have extraordinary skills."
"In my opinion, we should do things fairly. Let Nephew Xing Jue enter the Ethereal Cave with us. Even if he cannot catch the Immortal Herb, it is also a kind of training." Elder Lei Dong looked at Xing Jue with his squinted eyes. It seemed that he had finally found a chance to take revenge on Xing Jue.
However, he did not know how much Xing Jue wanted to thank him at that moment. He wanted to thank him for giving him such a chance. Because, even if Elder Lei Dong did not say anything, in the face of such a treasure, Xing Jue himself was prepared to be thick-skinned and ask to enter.
Therefore, Elder Lei Dong was simply a great help to Xing Jue. Xing Jue was very grateful to him.
"No, the Ethereal Cave is the former residence of the First Leader."
"It has been close to ten thousand years. The pets that the First Leader reared have already turned into ferocious beasts. Their strength is at the level of Asura Wu Zun."
"With Nephew Xing Jue's strength, it is too dangerous to enter," Elder Qiu Yue rejected immediately.
"Elder Qiu Yue, you underestimate Nephew Xing Jue. Don't forget that he is Elder Zhuge's disciple." Elder Lei Dong actually looked at Elder Zhuge. He wanted Elder Zhuge to reply.
"Everything is up to Xing Jue." Elder Zhuge did not reply. Instead, he looked at Xing Jue.
It was not just him. At that moment, everyone looked at Xing Jue. Moreover, Xing Jue also received a telepathic message from Elder Qiu Yue. She was kindly advising Xing Jue not to enter. She was afraid that something might happen to him.
However, Xing Jue, who had long wanted to enter, would not let go of this opportunity. With a confident smile, he said to everyone, "Thank you for your kindness, Elder. Xing Jue is willing to give it a try."
Although they were worried, Elder Zhuge and Elder Qiu Yue could not say anything more since Xing Jue had agreed to enter. They could only pray silently that nothing would happen to Xing Jue. Then, they sent telepathic messages to Murong Xiaoxiao and Lu Yuan, asking them to protect Xing Jue.
After that, Xing Jue and the other three stepped into the most forbidden area of the Ethereal Peak, the Ethereal Cave, through the portal in the main hall.
Passing through the portal was like passing through an array formation. However, what appeared in front of them was not a palace or an underground palace. Instead, it was a vast world.
Nearby, there was a forest. One could hear the sound of flowing spring water, and the fragrance of flowers and birds were everywhere.
In the distance, there were many mountains, and one could hear the roars of demonic beasts. It could be said that danger was everywhere.
"What a big cave," the excited Xing Jue exclaimed as he looked around happily.
"It's not that this cave is big, but it has already formed its own space," Murong Xiaoxiao, who was beside him, explained with a smile.
"A method to form its own space? That's really amazing. "
Xing Jue was even more amazed. He could feel the vastness of this place. It was even bigger than the center of the Soul Source. Such a powerful method showed that the first-generation Sect Master's methods were indeed powerful.
However, thinking about it carefully, it was understandable. The name of the first-generation Sect Master was not a joke. He was the person who founded the Ethereal Peak and was one of the ancestors of Mount Wuzhi.
Plop!
However, at this moment, Lu Yuan suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to the distance with a sincere face. At the same time, he chanted,
"Disciple Lu Yuan of Hermit Peak is here to pay his respects to Yunming and Songzhu!!"
