Chapter 495: Chapter 153: Ten Immortal City, Ruins of the Phantom Sea (10K Monthly Votes Wanted)_6
 

As for Li Qingniu, he stayed in Ten Monarch Immortal City to guard their base.

In the flying boat.

True Monarch Six-tailed Fox, looking at Su Yu with her charming eyes, then turned to Taoist Tianyu who was not far from her and said, “Didn’t your disciple reach the fourth layer of the Core Formation level more than twenty years ago? How come he is still at the same stage?”

Taoist Tianyu glanced at Su Yu, who showed no change in expression and even had a slight smile on his face, and said, “Oh, maybe he was delayed this period due to practicing the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law.”

True Monarch Six-tailed Fox seemed slightly surprised and said, “He has successfully practiced the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law? What level of Golden Core is he now?”

Taoist Tianyu shook his head lightly and said, “I didn’t ask.”

True Monarch Six-tailed Fox glanced at him with a pout, complaining, “Really ignorant. You don’t even show concern for your own apprentice.”

Then she turned to Su Yu, wearing a friendly smile, and said, “Little Yu, I heard you successfully practiced Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law? Have you encountered any difficulties during the practice?”

With respect, Su Yu replied, “Thank you for your concern Elder, but actually, I’m doing quite well. My master has taught me a lot, which has benefited me greatly.”

Curiosity sparked in True Monarch Six-tailed Fox as she asked, “So, what have you gained from practicing Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law?”

Luo Qianyu, Zhang Mengdie, and Zhang Mengyao all looked at Su Yu curiously.

With a slight cough, Su Yu reluctantly nodded, “I have gained much, as I am now at the second transformation of the Golden Core.”

The second transformation of the Golden Core!

Zhang Mengdie and the slightly arrogant Zhang Mengyao exclaimed in surprise. Their gazes toward Su Yu changed. The sisters were gifted, but they had yet to achieve the Golden Core after chasing it for so long. They had only managed to solidify their True Pills.

Now hearing that Su Yu had reached the second transformation of the Golden Core and even mastered the rumored Dao Law of the Golden Core.

Considering his age of just over a hundred years, his potential for growth was almost predictable!

If he could become a fourth transformation Golden Core ——

Thinking about it, both Zhang Mengdie and Zhang Mengyao looked at Su Yu with a touch more reverence and admiration.

The eyes of the True Monarch Six-tailed Fox lit up slightly, and she looked at Su Yu with growing satisfaction, nodding her head saying, “Good, good, but the second transformation of the Golden Core is not enough. It would be best if you can achieve the fourth transformation!”

“By the way, after this exploration, you’ll have to come to Ten Monarch Immortal City often. Then, I’ll have Mengdie and Mengyao take good care of you.”

Luo Qianyu’s gaze naturally swept over Zhang Mengdie and Zhang Mengyao, a faint ‘smile’ on her face.

Time flew by, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The group traveled through vast territories, punched into a sea of illusionary swamps so dense with poison fog that it appeared black, along with Flying Boats and flying Beast Tamers of other forces.

The moment the flying boat penetrated the illusionary swamps, the world suddenly became dim. Visibility outside the boat was extremely low, and a thick poisonous fog shrouded the world, along with strands of different, fierce Evil Qi that permeated this place.

Fortunately, the protection of the flying boat’s Array and the isolation of the illusionary power of the swamps by True Monarch Six-tailed Fox had no effect on the people inside the boat.

All the way into the depths of the illusionary swamps, they could sense the swamp’s demonic beasts’ occasional attacks on the Cultivators of various forces.

However, these illusory beasts were not strong and didn’t pose a threat to them.

As for the few illusionary beasts of the Demon Clan that lived in the illusionary swamps, none of them showed themselves when the various forces penetrated the depths of the illusionary swamps.

Five days later, a landform that seemed to protrude like an island appeared in front of everyone.

The Flying Boat of True Monarch Six-Tailed Fox descended on the protruding land in the swamp alongside other forces.

The moment everyone crossed a certain boundary, the view before their eyes changed dramatically. The previously dimly lit illusionary sea swamp environment suddenly brightened up.

A wave of spiritual energy from nature, no weaker than that from the secret land of Luo Yue Alliance, hit them in the face.

The sight of a group of mountains appeared before everyone’s eyes, and in between the mountains, there seemed to be faint traces of once glorious fairy palaces and mansions.

True Monarch Six-Tailed Fox looked at the ruins ahead, away from the other forces’ cultivators, and said in a low voice, “This relic left by Fairy Mansion was discovered over a year ago. The power of the remaining formation here isn’t stable. It weakens for a few months, which led to its unexpected discovery.”

“Now is the time when the power of the illusion array in this relic weakens, but the time may only last one or two months. Once the power of the formation recovers, even I dare not stay here.”

After observing for a while, Taoist Tianyu said in a low voice, “Let’s go, let’s take a look first.”

Su Yu and Luo Qianyu were casual about it. The two came to the ruins this time just to follow Taoist Tianyu for some practice, and they didn’t have any other purposes.

As for whether Taoist Tianyu and True Monarch Six-Tailed Fox had any intentions, both of them were not quite sure.

The danger should not be extreme, after all, Taoist Tianyu’s cultivation isn’t strong right now, but his foundations still exist. A fourth-tier top-ranked Alchemist, Array Master, Artifact Refiner, and beast tamer, it won’t be easy for a common Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to defeat him without a Dividing Spirit Realm attack?

Under the leadership of Taoist Tianyu, Su Yu and the others headed towards a peak, while the people from the other forces dispersed and explored the ruins.

On their way forward, Su Yu looked at the ruins ahead and asked Taoist Tianyu in a low voice, “Master, is there any treasured artifact that we can expect to find here?”

Before Taoist Tianyu could answer, True Monarch Six-Tailed Fox said in a low voice, “It’s been rumored that numerous ancient books have emerged from this relic. According to the records, there was a treasure known as the ‘Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid’ in the ancient era.”

She glanced at Taoist Tianyu and said, “This Celestial Marrow Soul Fluid can transform the body and repair the soul. If we can get some of it, maybe your master’s cultivation can be restored a little.”

Taoist Tianyu shook his head gently, smiled, and said, “We have a task from the sect this time. There might exist a five-tier treasure known as ‘Illusion Heart Stone’ from the Fairy Mansion here.”

“If we can get the Illusion Heart Stone, the power of Xinhao Hall’s Heart Refining Path in the sect will be stronger, which will help stabilize the sect’s foundation.”

Taoist Tianyu paused, then looked at Su Yu and said, “However, this matter has nothing to do with you. This time, you just need to carefully comprehend the restrictions of the ancient formations left here.”

“These ancient formation residues are the real treasures passed down from the ancient relics for us Array Masters.”

In the course of the conversation, they arrived at the front of the mountain range of the ruins.

Under the Taoist Tianyu’s guidance, they took a step forward.

In a flash, the world changed, and they fell into an illusion array.

This illusion array isn’t weak and has probably reached the level close to the fourth tier.

However, even so, Taoist Tianyu’s voice reached everyone’s ears the moment they stepped into the illusion array. Following his seal, they walked out of the illusion array smoothly.

Then, they stopped, and Taoist Tianyu, along with Su Yu, turned back to begin to comprehend and explain the mysteries of the remaining array.

As for the possible treasures within the ruins, Taoist Tianyu wasn’t in a hurry to search for them. After all, the ruins were there, and it wasn’t possible to find them in such a large area. Moreover, various forces had already entered.

Instead of blindly searching themselves, it would be more sensible to wait. If such treasures emerged, they wouldn’t be quiet.

It would not be too late to plan to get the treasures then.

However, unknown to everyone, the moment these cultivators from various forces stepped into the ruins, deep inside the site, a pair of eyes opened again, seeming to see all the people in the ruins at a glance, silently watching them.
