Chapter 426: Chapter 272 Ten Thousand Years Lifespan, Heavenly Earthly Wondrous Insect: Medicine Gu_5

Of course, the cost of constructing the teleportation array was extremely expensive and not something that average forces could bear.

But in this case, it was naturally the Wuji Alliance and Immortal Mist City that bore half of the construction costs each.

Thus, the profits from the teleportation array would also be split in half.

Needless to say, this arrangement brought immense benefits for Immortal Mist City.

Even cultivators from distant locations could come through the teleportation array.

This greatly increased the profits of Immortal Mist City.

Moreover, with the Nascent Soul cultivators maintaining order in the Tri-Star Island Group, no one dared to cause any disturbance.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, they didn’t stay here at all, heading directly towards the Divinity Transformation ruins.

“My lord, increasingly more Nascent Soul cultivators are headed towards those Divinity Transformation ruins,”

“I have never seen so many Nascent Soul Ancestors in my life.”

Leng Yuexi said with emotion.

If she were still on Immortal Mist Island, she would never have had the chance to see a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

But now, Nascent Soul Ancestors were seemingly popping up everywhere.

Of course, this had a lot to do with the Divinity Transformation ruins.

If it weren’t for the Divinity Transformation ruins, these Nascent Soul cultivators would be scattered across great distances, and it would be very difficult to come across one of them.

“Oh, in that case, have they managed to break through the prohibition array of those Divinity Transformation ruins?”

Zhou Sui asked.

“Well, not exactly,”

“After all, it’s a fifth-stage array replete with three layers of protection.”

“Even a joint attack from numerous Nascent Soul cultivators could not breach this formation.”

“Now many fourth-stage array masters have set off for the Divinity Transformation ruins, attempting to find a weakness in the array.”

“But most likely, it would be quite some time before they manage to break through this formation.”

Lin Yazhu commented solemnly.

“Let it be. Matters like this have nothing to do with us.”

“Simply safeguarding our own territory is enough.”

“Who knows what dangers lurk within those Divinity Transformation ruins; it’s better not to take unnecessary risks.”

Zhou Sui waved his hand dismissively.

He had never entertained the idea of venturing into the Divinity Transformation ruins.

Even though he possesses multiple clones, they were merely utilized for gathering intelligence.

Given his current strengths, even if he were to obtain the numerous treasures within the Divinity Transformation ruins, he couldn’t protect them.

Don’t assume that possessing a high-grade fourth-stage formation meant he could withstand numerous Nascent Soul Ancestors.

These Nascent Soul old monsters all had numerous tricks up their sleeves, and who knew what they were capable of.

So, the safest course of action was not to venture into the Divinity Transformation ruins.

Once his cultivation improved, was there any treasure he couldn’t obtain?

There was simply no need to rush.

“My Lord, do you know when Sister Chu will return?”

Out of sheer curiosity, Mu Ziyi asked.

Since Chu Dieyi returned to the Sky Demon Sect, it had been nearly fifteen years.

Even though for cultivators this period was not particularly long, it was certainly not brief either.

She was a bit worried that something unexpected may have happened to Chu Dieyi.

“Well, there’s no need to worry,”

“She’s still at the Sky Demon Sect, receiving her Nascent Soul inheritance.”

“After all, she has just advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm and will need to learn many things.”

“It’s impossible for her to leave the Sky Demon Sect so quickly,”

“Although, considering the time that has passed, she should soon be returning to the Immortal Mist Sect.”

Zhou Sui gave a slight smile.

He had left one of his clones with Chu Dieyi, so naturally, he had a clear understanding of the situation surrounding Chu Dieyi.

He even chatted with Chu Dieyi through the clone.

Though he had been away for fifteen years, he felt as if she were within arm’s reach.

Earlier, Chu Dieyi had sent word, stating that she had recently left the Sky Demon Sect and was planning to return to the Immortal Mist Sect.

“That’s great.”

Hearing this, Mu Ziyi and the others felt a touch of joy. After all, they had spent many years with her and Chu Dieyi was extraordinarily knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships.

So they had long become close companions. Naturally, they were deeply concerned about Chu Dieyi’s current situation.

“Hmm.”

At that moment, Zhou Sui felt a stir in his heart. He squinted his eyes as if sensing something.

“What’s the matter, my lord?”

Ji Bingyu noticed Zhou Sui’s expression.

“Someone’s trying to kill Dieyi.”

“It seems to be a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xuan Yin Sect.”

“And it’s happening near the sea area around the Tri-Star Island Group.”

Zhou Sui’s eyes flashed with a chilly gleam. Having sensed Chu Dieyi’s danger through the clone he left with her, a touch of murderous intent emerged in him.

Whoosh!

With this in mind, Zhou Sui acted immediately, commanding a clone carrying various Gu Insects on his body to rescue her.

The sea area was close by, so the distance wasn’t far.

The clone, therefore, executed a cloud-riding technique, flying in the direction of Chu Dieyi.

….

A little earlier in the timeline.

At this time, Chu Dieyi had just finished fifteen years of arduous training in the Sky Demon Sect, during which she received the sect’s Nascent Soul inheritance. Only then did this long period of seclusion come to an end.

Without another word, she immediately said goodbye.

She didn’t want to waste even a second, mounting a flying boat and heading directly towards the Immortal Mist Sect.

However, as soon as she approached the sea area near the Tri-Star Island Group, she was intercepted by three Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Xuan Yin Sect.

“Oh no.”

Chu Dieyi’s heart sank immediately. She instantly knew that the adverse effects of her Sky Demon Calamity Body had kicked in again.

This was because the good fortune she had previously gained was now depleted.

What followed would be calamity.

But her mind was clouded by the calamity, and for a while, she forgot about this.

As a result, as soon as she stepped out of the door, she encountered an enemy at the Nascent Soul level.

It could be said that her Sky Demon Calamity Body brought with it a terrible calamity. Even if ignored slightly, a disaster would occur.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Chu,”

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

“As members of the demonic faction, we should be familiar with each other.”

Speaking was Qi Heng, a Xuan Yin Sect’s Nascent Soul cultivator, a black-robed old man. He was the father of Qi Yongqiing, the Saint Heir of the Xuan Yin Sect and an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

“That’s right, if you leave in such a hurry, it’s like you’re disregarding our Xuan Yin Sect,”

“You should be aware of the implications.”

Another Nascent Soul cultivator began to speak. It was the Xuan Yin Sect’s Red Ghost Old Ancestor. With flame-red long hair tumbling around his shoulders and a feral expression on his face, he emitted an eerie aura.

Behind him, numerous ghostly shadows emerged, making one’s skin crawl.

“Indeed, we are close friends with your Sky Demon Sect’s Sect Master.”

“And you are his disciple, a perfect person to consult on a few matters.”

The last Nascent Soul cultivator was the Xuan Yin Sect’s White Bone Old Ancestor, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who carried a bone-white sword on his back, emanating a chill that penetrated to the bone.

Chu Dieyi found herself surrounded by the three Nascent Soul Old Ancestors from the Xuan Yin Sect.
