News of the Immortal Abode Island's reappearance had already appeared a few months ago.
This was the divine island where the Golden Crow Thearch's tomb was located. It had been hidden in North Sea for tens of thousands of years and had never been discovered by anyone.
Now that the divine island had appeared, it naturally attracted the attention of countless major powers in the shortest time possible, and there had been many secret fights.
The importance of a fortuitous opportunity like the Thearch's tomb was self-evident. Once the news was leaked, it would definitely not be something that a single power could occupy alone. Otherwise, it would definitely attract the attention of other powers.
Even though the North Sea demon race was extremely powerful, they had to share a portion of the loot and ally with some other powers.
Meanwhile, the powers that were on good terms with the North Sea demon race would naturally be roped in and join forces to resist the pressure from the other sacred grounds.
Those who shared a portion of the loot were all friends, so they would work together to kick away the others. This was the unspoken rule of the five regions.
After confirming the list of powers that would share Immortal Abode Island's fortuitous opportunity, the top cultivators of the various powers also started to break the restrictions around Immortal Abode Island.
Immortal Abode Island was the Golden Crow Thearch's Bodhimanda in the past. The island spanned tens of thousands of miles and contained countless mystic realms.
The entire island was almost equivalent to a continent, and the fortuitous opportunity inside was immeasurable.
The dangers within were also self-evident.
Even the top Sages of the various sacred grounds had paid a huge price to open the way with their sect-guarding artifacts before breaking the restrictions around those islands.
This was also partly because the array formation's power had decreased due to the passage of time.
Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to approach the tomb!
After all, in the five regions of the lower realm, the Thearch was absolutely invincible.
Even if a Perfected Immortal descended from the Upper Realm, he was just a slightly stronger ant in front of the Thearch.
He could destroy them with a flip of his hand!
Shen Tian looked at the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. "Master, this Immortal Abode Island is where the Thearch's tomb is. If our disciples enter in large numbers and encounter any danger, it will be difficult to deal with."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader nodded. "Since you can think of this, it means that you already have the big picture vision of a leader. This is very good."
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's lightning and heavenly aura swayed gently as he said coldly, "However, Immortal Abode Island is full of fortuitous opportunities. To most disciples, it is definitely a great fortuitous opportunity that they might not encounter a second time in their entire lives.
"No one is willing to miss such a fortuitous opportunity. Otherwise, they might regret it for the rest of their lives.
"When we arrive at Immortal Abode Island, I will split the disciples and elders into three batches. The elders will lead the disciples into Immortal Abode Island in batches to train."
"Make sure that all the disciples don't enter Immortal Abode Island at the same time. Even if they encounter danger, we will have less pressure to rescue them."
Although the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was cold, it was obvious that he was wary of Immortal Abode Island.
After all, this was the dojo of the Great Emperor. Even Sages could not guarantee that they would be safe.
To put it bluntly, opportunities and death could be separated by a hair's breadth.
No matter how reluctant they were to part with those fortuitous opportunities, they could not throw away all the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's assets.
Shen Tian understood the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's actions very well. He nodded slightly. "I understand. If I enter Immortal Abode Island, which elder should I follow?"
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader was slightly taken aback. Then, he smiled and said, "You, Yunxi, Yunting, and Fang Chang are not within the range."
"Given Tian 'er's providence, even if there is any danger on the island, it will not threaten your safety. You just need to be a little careful."
Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus hurriedly said, "Junior Brother, the four of them are the future hope of our sect. How can we let them take the risk alone!?
"I can follow Tian 'er and the others to ensure their safety. Although this will delay me from finding my own fortuitous opportunities, I am willing to sacrifice myself for the future of our sect."
Martial Uncle Azure Lotus wants to follow me?
The corners of Shen Tian's mouth twitched as he glanced at the mottled black and white light above Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus' head.
This old Taoist priest had freeloaded quite a lot of fortuitous opportunities that Shen Tian had brought back, such as Decalamity, God of War Pagoda, Nirvana Holy Liquid, and so on.
Relying on the providence that came with those fortuitous opportunities, the old Taoist priest's originally pitch-black halo had become much whiter.
But the problem was that he was still an unlucky fellow!
Even the mortal selling pork at the entrance had much better providence than this old Taoist priest.
Letting the old Taoist priest follow them on the dangerous Immortal Abode Island? Shen Tian felt that he should just forget about this kind of bodyguard!
Shen Tian shuddered and hurriedly said, "Master, let's forget about it! Martial Uncle Azure Lotus is very powerful. It's too much of a waste for him to follow me. "
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader glanced at Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus coldly. He knew what his Senior Brother was planning. "Senior Brother, I will naturally have a mission for you when the time comes.
As for the mission of protecting Tian 'er and the others, someone will naturally take care of it. Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about it. "
...
As they spoke, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader had already arranged everything.
Now that the array formation around Immortal Abode Island had been broken, the various factions had already set the rules.
Powerful cultivators at the Sage stage and above would continue to work together to break the array formation in the deeper parts of the island so that the tomb could appear as soon as possible.
As for cultivators below the Sage stage, they would be free to search for fortuitous opportunities on the island. Whatever they could obtain would depend on their own luck.
One had to know that Immortal Abode Island had been isolated from the world for tens of thousands of years. It had always been nourished by the Golden Crow Thearch's Spirit Gathering Array, so there would definitely be a lot of rare treasures on the island.
If they were lucky, they would be able to find the core inheritance left behind by the Golden Crow Thearch. It was not impossible for them to directly rise to power and dominate a region.
Of course, as for how much one could obtain in such a mystic realm, sometimes strength was really not the most important factor.
Having high providence was the way to go!
In the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's opinion, this was the perfect home field for Tian 'er!
As long as Fang Chang, Yun Xi, and Yun Ting could hug Tian 'er's thigh tightly, there would definitely be many benefits from this trial.
Yeap, hugging one thigh each was enough!
In fact, a few days ago, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had already set off for Immortal Abode Island.
It was only because Shen Tian had not come out of seclusion that the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had stayed behind to wait. Anyway, the fortuitous opportunities on the outside were not that attractive to them.
Tian 'er's favorability toward them was still more important.
Now that Shen Tian had come out of seclusion, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader immediately used a Dharma spell to tear open the void and set up a spatial door. The three of them stepped into the void door and headed toward Immortal Abode Island.
It was worth mentioning that Shen Tian could not feel the movement of space every time he traveled through the void with the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader.
However, after obtaining the Hurricane Lily and Kun Peng Dao, Shen Tian's perception of the void had greatly increased. He could already faintly feel the changes in the void.
Shen Tian even had a feeling that if he wanted to, he could also try some simple void teleportation.
Of course, in terms of distance, he could not compare to the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader for now.
After about an hour, Shen Tian could feel the surging power of the void gradually weakening.
Were they about to arrive at their destination?
Just as this thought appeared in Shen Tian's mind, he saw the void in front of him gradually crack open.
An extremely dazzling scarlet light shone on Shen Tian's body, followed by the sound of surging waves.
Shen Tian stepped out of the void tunnel and realized that he had appeared on a huge scarlet beach. The void was filled with extremely dense fire-elemental Spirit Qi.
It was clearly an island, but it was like a volcano and extremely hot!
...
Is this Immortal Abode Island?
Shen Tian spread his golden wings and flew high in the clouds, looking at the island in front of him.
As far as the eye could see, almost everything was crimson red. The red beach, the red rocks, the red weeds, and the red trees.
Everything here seemed to be filled with fire elements. If a cultivator who cultivated fire-elemental cultivation techniques stayed on this island all year round, their cultivation level would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
After all, this was just the outer area of the island, and the density of fire-elemental Spirit Qi was already comparable to the sacred ground's core area.
If they continued to go deeper, it would be hard to imagine just how exaggerated the density of the fire-elemental Spirit Qi would be!
Apart from that, the stability of the space on Immortal Abode Island also far exceeded that of the outside world.
If the void in a mortal country was like window paper, and the void in a sacred ground was like glass, then the void on this Immortal Abode Island was like tempered glass. Its stability was many times stronger.
In such a place where the space was extremely stable, be it the range of one's divine consciousness, speed, or destructive power, they would all be greatly restricted.
It was not an exaggeration to say that on this Immortal Abode Island, even a slightly weaker Heavenly Venerable cultivator might not be able to tear open the void.
"As expected of the Thearch's Dao Ground. It is indeed extraordinary."
Shen Tian slowly landed on the beach, clenched his fist, and punched the void.
Instantly, the surging and mighty fist aura condensed to the extreme, and there was a faint majestic dragon roar wherever the aura passed.
A hole was torn open in the void, revealing a spiderweb-like black crack in the void. It emitted a heart-palpitating aura, but it quickly recovered.
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian's attack and nodded. "Tian 'er, you have the Saint Token with you. The Saint Token contains the power of three attacks from me.
"Under normal circumstances, you should not encounter any fatal danger. If you do, don't panic. I will be there very soon."
With that, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus left together.
As the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's strongest cultivators on Immortal Abode Island, they also had the mission of breaking the restrictions, so they could not waste too much time.
Otherwise, when they split the benefits, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would be at a disadvantage!
At that moment, the rest of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground seemed to have received news of the Sacred Leader and Shen Tian's arrival, and they all rushed over.
Naturally, the four Divine Firmament prodigies — Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhao Hao — were in the lead.
Fang Chang had already made great progress and completely shattered his core to form his Nascent Soul. Zhang Yunting also followed closely behind him to form his Nascent Soul.
Meanwhile, with the help of the enlightenment tea, Zhang Yunxi had successfully reached the peak of the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage and was only one step away from the so-called Golden Core Tenth Refinement Stage.
Probably only after taking this step would she consider breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!
After all, her competitors were just too evil!
It was worth mentioning that Zhao Hao, this young prodigy who had once suffered the humiliation of having his engagement annulled, was quite talented.
After entering the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and being taught by the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Sword Venerable Qian Yang, Zhao Hao's cultivation level had been increasing rapidly.
The ups and downs of life had caused Zhao Hao's mental cultivation level to far exceed his peers. The Sword Fire Nine Refinement Stage mystic art had also tempered both his body and Dharmic powers.
When Zhao Hao had just formed his Golden Core, it was an extremely high quality Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage. He was even more outstanding than Fang Chang back then.
Now, after a few months of hard work and with the help of the enlightenment tea, Zhao Hao had also raised his cultivation level to the peak of the Golden Core Eighth Refinement Stage.
At least among the Eastern Wilderness' younger generation experts, Zhao Hao's reputation was already not inferior to some sacred grounds' core Saints.
The growth of this leek was unexpectedly good!
...
Apart from the four Divine Firmament prodigies, Eunuch Gui, Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Zhen Zhijia, Xiong Meng, Qin Gao, and other core elders of the Favored Ones were naturally among them.
These people were basically loyal to Shen Tian. When Shen Tian was not in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, they had been holding the fort.
And with the help of the God of War Pagoda, enlightenment tea, and other great fortuitous opportunities, these people's cultivation levels had also increased rapidly.
Originally, with these people's providence and talent, they might not even have the chance to form a Golden Core in their lifetime.
But now, only a year had passed, and Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, and the others had all completed the process of forming their Golden Cores.
Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao had also cultivated the Demon Book of Hyuga to an extremely high level, and they had already formed their Golden Cores above the Sixth Refinement Stage.
Although they were only at the Sixth Refinement Stage, with their elusive speed and unpredictable sword techniques, even Zhao Hao, who was at the Golden Core Eighth Refinement Stage, could not withstand their combined attacks.
Even in the entire Eastern Wilderness or even the five regions, these people could be considered extremely outstanding geniuses.
Now, they walked valiantly and energetically, full of confidence!
"Your Highness, you've finally come out of seclusion!"
Eunuch Gui, who was wearing a bright red robe, looked at Shen Tian with concern. "Did everything go smoothly during your seclusion this time?"
Shen Tian smiled and nodded. "I had a slight breakthrough. I just completed the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage. If there are no accidents, I can prepare to break through after this trial."
Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage?
Everyone was slightly stunned, and then they looked at each other!
What did the Saint just say? Was he sure it was the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage and not the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage?
Although they had never heard of anyone in the five regions successfully breaking through to the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, that was Master Heaven!
If there was really someone in this world who could complete the Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage, it would definitely be Master Heaven!
Breaking through to the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage was too low!
Song Fugui and Liu Taiyi looked at each other, and the former revealed a thoughtful smile.
Low profile!
Definitely low profile!
Master Heaven had always been very low profile. He clearly had unparalleled talent, but he did not allow others to publicize it.
But Song Fugui felt that as the Favored Ones' Grand Elder, he should know the heavens' will. Master Heaven's cultivation was definitely not as simple as the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage.
Because if it was only the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage, someone as proud as Master Heaven would definitely not be prepared to break through to the Nirvana realm.
Since Master Heaven said that he was preparing to break through, then it was definitely not just the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage!
It was at least the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage, and it might even be the Tenth Refinement Stage!
What? In theory, the highest the Golden Body realm could reach was the Ninth Refinement Stage, and there was no such thing as the Tenth Refinement Stage?
That was the limit for a normal person. Was Master Celestial a normal person?
He was the main character of this era, and there was no limit!
But since Master Celestial announced that he was at the Golden Body Eighth Refinement Stage, he might have his own considerations. Smart people should learn to read people's expressions and not say things that should not be said.
Shopkeeper Song secretly made up his mind and obediently followed beside Shen Tian.
...
Shen Tian looked at Zhao Hao, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He coughed lightly and said, "Junior Brother Zhao's cultivation level is getting better day by day. It's really worth congratulating."
Zhao Hao scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Senior Brother Saint, please don't laugh at me. My insignificant cultivation level is really not worth mentioning compared to Senior Brother.
"If not for the fact that the fire spirits on Immortal Abode Island can produce a special Fire Spirit Crystal that greatly increases the strength of fire-element cultivators, I would not be able to break through so quickly."
Fire Spirit Crystal?
Shen Tian was slightly taken aback. "What is that?"
Before Zhao Hao could explain, Shopkeeper Song had already prepared a jade slip and handed it to Shen Tian. "Master Heaven, this is just information about Immortal Abode Island."
Liu Taiyi's mouth twitched, and he was so regretful that he kept stomping his feet!
I knew it!
These few days, Old Song had been holding a jade slip and recording something, afraid that he would find out.
So he was thinking of flattering Du Du alone!
Wise, too wise and farsighted!
Since Liu He gave birth to Song, since Liu He gave birth to Song!
Shen Tian admired Shopkeeper Song's thoughtfulness. It was almost on par with Eunuch Gui.
If they were not in a cultivation sect and not in a secular dynasty, someone as considerate as Shopkeeper Song would definitely be promoted to the head of the inner palace.
Shen Tian calmed himself down and started to look at the contents of the jade slip.
Although Immortal Abode Island had just appeared, it was already very attractive to the various forces that had just arrived.
Firstly, there were many fire spirits formed by fire-element Spirit Qi on this island, and they were very magical.
They could control the extremely rich fire-element Spirit Qi on the island, and their attacks were very violent.
If one could kill these fire spirits, one would be able to obtain a type of Fire Spirit Crystal.
This was a very magical crystal that was formed by the purest fire-element Spirit Qi and had many magical uses.
Whether it was directly refining the energy within it to increase one's cultivation level or using it as a supplementary material for pill refinement or artifact refinement, the effects were extraordinary.
Even Zhao Hao had been able to complete the Golden Core Eighth Refinement Stage so quickly because of refining the Fire Spirit Crystal.
Anyway, these fire spirits were definitely the best nourishment for fire-element cultivators.
If not for the fact that the fire spirits in the outer area were so weak that even Supremacies were rare and were useless to Heavenly Venerables and Sages, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus might not have been willing to wait for Shen Tian.
...
Apart from the fire spirits, there was also a Red Flame Volcano in the east of Immortal Abode Island.
It nurtured an extremely powerful Earth Vein Divine Fire. It was a supreme-grade flame for pill refinement and artifact refinement.
Although it could not be compared to an exceptional fire like the Nan Ming Li Fire, which was on the list of extraordinary items, how many exceptional fires were there in the five regions?
If the Earth Vein Divine Fire in the Red Flame Volcano could be completely taken away, even most Sages would be tempted and even fight for it.
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was quite popular. With the support of many Daoist Friends, she had obtained a portion of the Divine Fire.
If she used it to refine pills in the future, the medicinal effects should be much stronger.
In the south of Immortal Abode Island, Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming of the Black Snake race had discovered a Mystic Fire Divine Gold Mine, and it was a supreme-grade mine.
Mystic Fire Pure Gold could be extracted from this ore, which was a supreme-grade material for creating fire-element Spirit artifacts. It was very important to most fire-element sects.
It was a pity that there were very few demons in the Black Snake race who mainly cultivated fire-element techniques. Thus, this mine was of little value to the Black Snake race, and they were thinking of selling it to the human sacred grounds!
It was said that an elder of the Southern Border Phoenix race had once looked for Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming, hoping to purchase this mine. However, Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming had used an excuse to reject them.
After that, the other human sacred grounds had also wanted to purchase part of the rights to this mine, but Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming had also rejected them.
If not for the fact that the various factions had agreed before developing Immortal Abode Island that whoever discovered the fortuitous opportunity first would own it, they might have already started a bloody battle.
After all, the value of this rich mine was indeed considerable.
Apart from that, many fortuitous opportunities had also been discovered on the west and south sides of Immortal Abode Island. However, they could not be compared to the Earth Vein Divine Fire and Mystic Fire Divine Gold, so they could not attract any Sages.
The true core fortuitous opportunity was still in the inner region of Immortal Abode Island, which was enveloped by the restriction!
...
Just as Shen Tian's divine consciousness entered the jade slip to look for information about Immortal Abode Island, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out from the south side of the island.
"I am Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming of the Black Snake race. The Mystic Fire Divine Gold Mine is now in our hands.
"Those who want to purchase the Mystic Fire Divine Gold Mine, send Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to me. Otherwise, there is no need for further discussion."
Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming was the princess of the Black Snake race. Her father, mother, and grandfather were all Sages, so she had a very high status in the Black Snake race.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a mere Heavenly Venerable like her to decide how to deal with such an important mine like the Mystic Fire Divine Gold Mine.
Even if she was the first to discover this mine, it would be impossible!
Now that she had used the Mystic Fire Divine Gold Mine as a reward and requested the various factions to send Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus to her, her rallying power was great.
"Qing Ming, you're too much. Senior Brother Chu is mine!"
"Sister Qing Ming, what happened back then was just a misunderstanding. Please don't make things difficult for First Senior Brother."
Two familiar voices rang out. It was Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance and Heavenly Venerable White Lotus. Shen Tian had no idea what these three women were up to.
Anyway, when Shen Tian closed his eyes, he could vaguely sense powerful auras rising around the island's periphery. They seemed to be restless because of Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming's reward.
Of course, the reason Shen Tian could hear these voices and sense these powerful auras was all because of the special effects of his Connate Constitution.
Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for cultivators below the Heavenly Venerable level to sense so far away on Immortal Abode Island, let alone hear the voices from so far away.
This was gossip that only the big shots had the right to hear. Those weaklings who had not even reached the Heavenly Venerable level had no right to eavesdrop.
At that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out from the west side of the island.
The golden lightning instantly shattered the void into pieces, and the black void vortex sucked in endless seawater.
"Zhang, how dare you sneak attack me!"
"Senior Brother, you've been at loggerheads with Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming for 800 years. It's time to make things clear."
"Go f * ck yourself. Do you think you can explain things clearly? You're just greedy for his ores. Someone, save me! The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader is heartless. He's betraying Senior Brother for the ores! "
"Senior Brother, stop shouting. No matter how strong your Godfiend body is, you can't break free after being locked up by my Mixed Divine Lightning Chain."
Golden lightning and heavenly light streaked across the sky, and the surface of the heavenly light rippled violently. A chain formed by Mixed Divine Lightning stretched out from the heavenly light.
On the other side of the chain was an old Taoist priest in purple robes. His hair was standing on end from the lightning.
He struggled frantically, wanting to escape. Unfortunately, the chain formed by Mixed Divine Lightning trapped him like a dumpling. It was so tight that he could not even move a finger.
"Senior Brother, I'm doing this for your own good. Heavenly Venerable Qing Ming has a big business, and he has been worried about you for so many years. Just give in!"
...
The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader's voice was still cold and emotionless, but his words made countless Heavenly Venerables and Sages not know whether to laugh or cry.
However, the eyes of some mighty figures of the same generation who knew about those gossips from back then lit up.
Can I finally eat this big melon that I've been waiting for 1,000 years?
Azure Lotus, oh Azure Lotus, to think you'd have such a day!
Haha, so satisfying!
