Chapter 1412: 594 Golden Immortal Peak Fallen?
Wenren Fengwu and Qiao Dingxian were not disciples of the Longtian Mountain Master; they just happened to meet Su Yu during a mission. Later, they came into contact several more times, becoming the two acquaintances Su Yu was most familiar with on Longtian Mountain.
A Golden Immortal and a Peak Profound Immortal traveling together.
Moreover, they were top geniuses from the Infinite Immortal Palace.
Su Yu was secretly hoping to encounter people from Yellow Spirit Cave Heaven, Purple Crane Immortal Sect, and other such forces at the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins.
If he did encounter them, he wouldn't hesitate to teach them a lesson about what it means to use power to crush others and what it means to be arrogant and domineering.
Not long after, the three of them walked out of Longtian Mountain together. After some inquiries, Su Yu was shocked to discover the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins were actually within the Longtian Immortal Mansion of the Infinite Immortal Palace, next to the territory of a force called the Nine Immortals Sect of the Fentian River Cave.
"The Nine Immortals Sect of Fentian River Cave... sounds familiar," Su Yu pondered for a moment, and an information flash appeared in his mind. When he initially arrived at Longtian Immortal Mansion to transcend his tribulation, it seemed he was in the Fentian River Cave Nine Immortals Sect region.
The immortals who appeared first in his Heavenly Tribulation were from the Nine Immortals Sect.
One of them seemed to be a Golden Immortal Peak existence, not lacking in power.
Wenren Fengwu and Qiao Dingxian, upon discovering the location of the ancient ruins, were equally surprised: "It's actually nearby?"
Wenren Fengwu chuckled softly, looking at Su Yu: "Junior Brother, these ancient ruins are nearby. I fear it won't be long before many senior brothers and sisters, or junior brothers and sisters, head over."
Su Yu shook his head lightly: "It doesn't matter; I just wish to go for some training. More people, more excitement."
After determining the true location of the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins, the three of them headed directly to the Nine Immortals Sect of Fentian River Cave.
A grotto left by an Earth Witch had great allure to most forces in the Hundred River Immortal Domain.
After all, an Earth Witch is comparable to a Taiyi Immortal Realm existence, and in the Hundred River Immortal Domain, the Taiyi Immortal Realm only appears among major forces, and not frequently.
Moreover!
This was an ancient ruins left by an Earth Witch from ancient times. How could the ancient Immortal World compare to the present? The Immortal World of the past had innate immortal beasts everywhere, and you could even pick up innate spiritual treasures just by walking around.
The resources and environment of those times were incomparable to the current Immortal World.
If any ancient treasure or opportunity was discovered in those ancient ruins, even a Taiyi Immortal Realm existence would probably be tempted to fight for it.
Thus, as the news spread, it quickly shook the entire Hundred River Immortal Domain, and countless immortals were excited and rushed to the site of the ancient ruins.
By the time Su Yu and the others arrived at the vicinity of the Fentian River region, many immortals were already present, including occasional sightings of the Infinite Immortal Palace's disciples.
"Let's visit the Nine Immortals Sect first; they should have a deeper understanding of these ancient ruins." Wenren Fengwu did not hesitate, leading Su Yu and Qiao Dingxian to the Nine Immortals Sect.
For the Longtian Mountain of the Infinite Immortal Palace, the forces within the Immortal Mansion were merely vassals, and the Nine Immortals Sect was no exception.
This was an immortal sect force entrenched at Fentian River, rumored to have been established by nine immortals millions of years ago, and up to now, the Nine Immortals Sect still had an ancestral master present.
Wenren Fengwu introduced, "That long-lived ancestral master of the Nine Immortals Sect is named Fairy Wen, who is not of the Human Clan, but of the Demon Clan carrying bloodline of ancient fearsome beast ancestor blood. Her true form is a mosquito."
"Though the bloodline isn't comparable to Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, etc., it's still decent. She's lived for so long and her cultivation has reached Gold Immortal Peak level, just half a step away from Taiyi Immortal Realm."
A figure appeared in Su Yu's mind. When he was transcending his tribulation, that graceful shadow was spying from afar in the direction of the Nine Immortals Sect, her aura slightly weaker than that of the Taiyi True Immortal. It ought to be this so-called ancestral master Fairy Wen of the Nine Immortals Sect.
Indeed.
When Su Yu arrived at the Nine Immortals Sect with Wenren Fengwu, the sect leader and ancestral master Fairy Wen greeted them with disciples of the Nine Immortals Sect. The leading woman, seductive in a blood-red, exquisite long dress showcasing her graceful figure, was indeed her.
Fairy Wen greeted them with disciples of the Nine Immortals Sect. Her first target of salutation, however, was not the Golden Immortal Wenren Fengwu but was Su Yu, bowing respectfully with a slight knee bend: "This little woman, Fairy Wen, greets Little Mountain Master."
Though Su Yu had scarcely appeared since joining Longtian Mountain, and she hadn't met him again.
But having become a disciple of the Longtian Mountain Master, his status was supreme nobles in their eyes, far more awe-inspiring than cultivation.
....
Yinyue Immortal City.
In the end, Lin Wantong couldn't get Su Yu to join him, yet the news of the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins spread throughout Yinyue Immortal City, exciting all force immortals.
Not just Earth rank and Profound rank member forces like the Lin Family and Yin Family, even ordinary Yellow rank member forces couldn't help but be tempted. Many immortals set out for the Immortal Alliance to become involved in the alliance's activities regarding the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins opportunity.
Along with the news, the price of Immortal Pills in Yinyue Immortal City skyrocketed multiple times, yet couldn't suppress their zeal. All Immortal Pills, talismans, and treasures in Yinyue Immortal City were completely sold out.
Lan Family Immortal Clan, Lan Baishan watching Su Yu leisurely engaged in alchemy, couldn't help but eagerly say: "Master, are we really not participating? If we're with the Immortal Alliance, the danger shouldn't be too high."
Su Yu did not look at him: "What opportunities does the Lan Family Immortal Clan lack?"
Lan Baishan opened his mouth. Though the Lan Family Immortal Clan's situation was excellent now, and their power surged, their foundation wasn't deep. Gaining the heritage opportunities from an Earth Witch could certainly improve their circumstances.
Moreover.
The Lan Family Immortal Clan appeared to be in a favorable situation now.
But in reality....
They didn't even possess True Immortal heritage, much less Profound Immortal or Golden Immortal, nor heritage comparable to Taiyi Immortal Realm.
Su Yu refined a batch of Immortal-breaking Pills, and as his thoughts moved, the lid of the Immortal Pill Furnace opened, and five strands of radiant immortal glow escaped, landing in Su Yu's palm.
These were five top-quality Immortal-breaking Pills.
He placed them in a jade bottle and tossed it to Lan Baishan: "Focus on your duties; you need not concern yourself with other matters."
"You're just a small Heavenly Immortal realm, unqualified to participate in such matters."
Feeling Su Yu's subtle oppressive gaze, Lan Baishan felt a jolt in his heart, his body trembling as he quickly bowed, stammering: "Yes, sir...."
As he prepared to leave, Su Yu added: "Hurry with finding out about Panlong Lake, see if those Demon Clan are planning to compete for the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins opportunity."
Such ancient ruins were not targets exclusive to the Human Clan.
It's highly likely the Ancient Witch Clan and Demon Clan, upon knowing, would venture to compete.
If the Demon Clan at Panlong Lake made any moves, Su Yu wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of their absence and seize the opportunity to occupy Panlong Lake.
Though Su Yu's main body was not directly competing for opportunities at the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins, his Divine Split Body, along with his senior brother and sister, had already arrived at the Nine Immortals Sect, gaining substantial information about the ancient ruins from them.
The place was situated deep in Fentian River, millions of feet underground, engulfed by endless magma and inferno, like a purgatory, ordinary immortals were unable to approach.
When the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins were revealed not long ago, discovered soon afterwards, Fairy Wen went to explore alone and discovered numerous remaining restrictions, ancient arrays, and even lingering rule power, like a forbidden ground. Even she, upon personally visiting, dared not recklessly venture within.
Such a place truly requires thousands or tens of thousands of years to extract the opportunity, discovering and resolving the lurking dangers gradually.
Even if the Lan Family Immortal Clan joined the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance, it would still be just an insignificant existence during the competition for ancient ruin opportunities.
It would be wiser to remain peacefully cultivating in Yinyue Immortal City, continuing to expand their foundational strength.
Time swiftly passed, over a century in the blink of an eye.
The Earth Witch Ancient Ruins news had long spread throughout the Hundred River Immortal Domain. Although a Taiyi Immortal Realm being had not appeared, countless Golden Immortals had sought exploration amidst the purgatory-like ruins in Fentian River's depths, including the Divine Split Body and his senior brothers and sisters.
But on this day, a startling message from inside the ancient ruins reached Su Yu's Divine Split Body.
"The ancestral master of the Nine Immortals Sect, Fairy Wen, has fallen!" A few Golden and Profound Immortals who witnessed Fairy Wen being obliterated by the residual law of the ruins fled in terror to report.
At that moment, countless immortals outside were shocked and fearful in their hearts. This was the first Golden Immortal to fall within the Earth Witch Ancient Ruins, and an old monster who had lived for millions of years at the Golden Immortal Peak, no less.
