I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 852: Chapter 365: Qingping Phantom, Divine Seed Mutation_2

Han Yi knew that this rule was in place to protect lower-level cultivators.

Following the consensus of all cultivators, Du Ruhu led them from the spatial teleportation point at the Moon Shadow node directly to the square of the Immortal Castle.

The cultivators in the square were far less than before, only numbering in the thousands.

Upon reaching, Du Ruhu, with a few half-immortal confidants, went forward to report to a True Immortal standing at the very center of the square.

Following was a quarter-hour wait, after which, Han Yi and the other cultivators all boarded the Immortal Boat summoned by the True Immortal.

This Immortal Boat, although also an Immortal Artifact, was far inferior to the massive Immortal Boat that had initially carried Han Yi and others to the Outside the Domain Void.

The Immortal Boat set off from the square of the Immortal Castle, dashed through the void, and disappeared in an instant.

Inside the Immortal Boat, Han Yi could not perceive the outside conditions. He continued to seize this brief time for cultivation.

Seven days later.

The Immortal Boat reached its destination, and around ten thousand cultivators disembarked from the boat.

Upon stepping out, Han Yi stared at the scene in front of him, his body shook violently, his pupils contracted abruptly, and his face was filled with shock.

In front of him lay an endless void… ruins.

Yes.

Void Ruins.

In the vast void, countless unidentified fractured machinery, metal fragments, various sizes of abandoned lands, broken palaces, etc., constituted the debris floating in the void.

This debris, to put it bluntly, was a void junkyard.

The fragmented machinery here was the mechanical army controlled by the Mechanical Divine Clan, which was shattered here. As for the metal fragments, they could be magical treasures, Spiritual Treasures, or pieces left over when some Immortal Castles were shattered. The various lands and broken palaces were likely caused by the explosive demise of the Immortal Spirit Realm within an Immortal.

This expanse of ruins did not form overnight but had gone through a very long time.

“The cleanup duration is a year. Group in tens as previously arranged and watch out for each other,” the final mental transmission from Du Ruhu instructed as they stepped into the Void Ruins. Afterward, he took the lead and stepped into it. Though he was a half-immortal, he did not dare to get distracted in the Void Ruins.

Han Yi and nine other people formed a group. The group’s leader was a middle-aged cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation, named Han Xuanli.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Ten thousand cultivators dispersed into the Void Ruins. Like a drop of water falling into a river or a lake, they didn’t even cause a ripple. This was because the ruins were too enormous.

The reason they came this time was mainly that, several years ago, near this area, three individuals from the Mechanical Divine Clan appeared. The three armies they controlled were annihilated by a Golden Immortal. Before their demise, the Mechanical Divine Clan shattered their divine seeds and scattered them, a small part of which landed in these ruins.

Searching for Divine Seeds was not very dangerous but quite time-consuming. The Golden Immortal naturally would not do it personally, so the Immortal Castle sent cultivators to investigate and clean up.

After delving several hundreds of miles, Han Xuanli finally stopped and asked the ten cultivators in the group to scatter and search around.

As per his orders, Han Yi began to search around.

His Immortal Path cultivation level had reached the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Level, but his Ancient God cultivation level was still at the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm. Additionally, he had broken through in his supernatural powers and Sword Control Skill. His overall combat power should be stronger than the latter phase of Spirit Transformation and only slightly lesser than a Peak Nascent Soul. But even if he faced a Peak Transformation God, he was confident that he could escape instantly with the use of his Mind Realm Divine Technique without being killed.

In other words, only a half-immortal could kill Han Yi. Among the Spirit Transformation, he was already invincible.

Therefore, Han Yi was not overly cautious.

Actually.

These ruins were also a treasure trove for lower-ranked cultivators. Although many valuable things had been scavenged in previous regular tasks, there were still odds and ends left behind.

For example, at this moment.

In a floating broken palace, Han Yi found a piece of a Spiritual Treasure.

This fragment was in a secluded corner of the broken palace. With the help of the Formless Fire Pupil, Han Yi was able to excavate it. The fragment seemed to be part of a Pill Furnace. Although it had lost its spiritual nature, the properties of the material remained. If it were sold in the market, it should be worth at least three Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

This was considered a bit of a gain, which Han Yi naturally did not waste and put directly into the Qiankun Ring.

Regardless of whether it was a regular task, a combat task, or an emergency task, any other gains outside of the task’s specified rewards belong to the personal possession of the cultivator.

A Chinese hour later.

Han Yi sensed a sudden change in the aura from behind, rushed back immediately, and saw a cultivator from his team holding a jade box. Inside the jade box, a blood-red fragment the size of a fingernail was quietly placed.

Han Xuanli and three other cultivators were surrounding him on guard.

During these regular tasks, finding the item specified in the task would allow one to obtain corresponding points. The importance of those points was even higher than that of the Immortal Court’s points because these were points from the Outside the Domain Void, and the dangers faced in acquiring these points were higher as well.

Han Yi approached, and the others didn’t show much vigilance. After all, the rules of the Immortal Castle were clear. Betraying cultivators from the same Immortal Castle was tantamount to betraying the Immortal Castle itself, and the penalty for that was not small.

It was this kind of strictness that enabled the cultivators participating in the Immortal Castle to trust each other without being too wary.

Otherwise.

With everyone suspicious and deceitful, there would be no united front, and internal conflict would have already occurred.
