#1897 - Lingbao is taking off! Eighteen treasure lands!

Night fell, and the immortal energy of the Third Heaven surged. Fireworks bloomed everywhere, a sign that the Spirit Treasures were about to take flight.

At this moment, all cultivators in the Third Heaven perked up, paying close attention to the changes around them. Some had even begun to recruit companions. Countless message-carrying flying swords crisscrossed the sky like a silver river, heading towards the gathering places of various sects and races.

"Anyone want to explore Demon Cloud State together! With the Spirit Treasures taking flight this time, Demon Cloud State is sure to produce many amazing treasures! Absolutely can't miss it!"

"I am a disciple of Penglai Hall. I have already arranged with three fellow senior brothers. After the Spirit Treasures begin to fly, we will head to the vicinity of Trampling Heaven State to excavate treasures. Looking for a few pill refining cultivators to cooperate!"

"Wolves of Trampling Heaven State! Anyone interested in working together to pull off something big! After the Spirit Treasures take flight, we'll concentrate all our strength and seize a treasure land first!"

"Based on past experience, there are eighteen treasure lands in the Third Heaven when the Spirit Treasures take flight. The locations of the Eight Great Sects have two fixed treasure lands. Penglai Hall and Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect each occupy three, Immortal Sea has three, and the other seven treasure lands appear randomly. This time, we obtained a treasure that can foretell the location of the treasure lands. Anyone who wants to cooperate can send a message, as long as they are experts above the Opening Divinity Realm."

"Looking for a junior sister! Someone bring a junior sister! This Daoist priest will take you flying!"

As message-carrying flying swords continued to emerge, the atmosphere in the entire Third Heaven became tense.

"Interesting, looks like there are quite a few cultivators with ideas," Ji Dongfeng said with a smile.

The next moment, just as Ji Dongfeng was about to see if he could be stabbed to death by a message-carrying flying sword, the voice of the long-bearded elder resounded through the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect token.

"The Spirit Treasures are about to take flight, come back quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled. With a thought, he returned to the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect.

"Yo, everyone looks to be in good spirits," Ji Dongfeng said, looking around and noticing that all the elders and disciples of the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect had gathered.

"Greetings, Senior," Upon seeing this, the disciples hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed. Many of them had complicated expressions. Not long ago, Ji Dongfeng was still their junior brother, but after only a few days, his strength had already become unattainable for them.

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng chuckled and said, "No need to be so polite. Sect Master, you were in such a hurry to call me back, is there some treasure you want to give me?"

Upon hearing this, the long-bearded elder rolled his eyes and said, "I know you're going to act alone again this time, so I'm going to tell you two things…"

"The first thing, after the Spirit Treasures begin to fly, if you see any Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect disciples in danger, help them if you can."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in confusion, "Danger?"

"That's right. After the Spirit Treasures take flight, treasures can be seen everywhere in the entire Third Heaven. In the face of these treasures, even brothers may turn against each other, not to mention the cultivators of various sects and other races," the long-bearded elder said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, "I am a disciple of the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect, and I should help my fellow disciples."

"The second thing, half an hour before the Spirit Treasures take flight, eighteen treasure lands will appear in the Third Heaven. These treasure lands will contain fixed treasures of good quality. Our Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect occupies three of these treasure lands alone. You can go there to pick out some treasures first," the long-bearded elder said.

"I'll go occupy that Golden Light Treasure Land first, so that the creatures of the Third Heaven won't have to fight and kill each other. This can avoid a lot of sacrifice, it's immeasurable merit," Ji Dongfeng said with a serious face.

"If I encounter those who don't know what's good for them, this King of Force will give them a quick death, so they don't have to suffer. This is also immeasurable merit."

"Double immeasurable merit, if I don't become a god on the spot, then the heavens are blind."

Upon hearing this, the corners of the long-bearded elder's mouth twitched a few times, and he said, "Get out, get out, if you don't need the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heaven Sect's treasure land, then go outside and compete… Remember, don't hurt too many living beings."

"Oh right, there's one more thing, after the flight ends, return to the sect. I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred. He could sense that the long-bearded elder's tone in this last sentence was much more serious, obviously indicating that he had something important to say.

"I understand," Ji Dongfeng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng's figure flickered and arrived at the very center of the Sea of Ascension, sitting cross-legged in the void, observing the surrounding situation at any time.

Not far below Ji Dongfeng was the Immortal Sea. However, unlike other places where message-carrying flying swords kept emerging, the Immortal Sea appeared extremely quiet at this moment. Many flying swords entered, but no flying swords from the Immortal Sea flew out.

"Something's not right. The elders and disciples of Immortal Sea used to contact creatures everywhere to cooperate. Their goal was to collect as many treasures as possible. Why are they so quiet now?" Zhao Guanlan said in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed that the Immortal Sea's grand formation had already begun to operate.

"The grand formation has been activated. Could it be that they only want to guard the treasures of the few fixed treasure lands in the Immortal Sea this time? This is not the style of Immortal Great Thoroughfare," Zhao Guanlan said.

"We'll naturally know what they want to do after the Spirit Treasures take flight," Ji Dongfeng said.

At the same time, the elders and disciples of Immortal Sea also noticed Ji Dongfeng.

"Elder, Ji Dongfeng is guarding here, could it be that he has discovered something?" a disciple asked.

"Don't worry, he hasn't discovered anything. He's purely here to be able to see where there are treasures at the first moment," the Immortal Sea elder said.

"However, to be on the safe side, we still need to be more careful… You wait here, I'll go and report."

"Yes."

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed. The number of message-carrying flying swords had decreased a lot, but the atmosphere in the Third Heaven had become much heavier, especially above the Immortal Sea, where patches of creatures had appeared.

"This is a location close to the center, and the view is good. You can see the treasures at the first moment. In the past few times the Spirit Treasures took flight, this place was also densely packed," Zhao Guanlan said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Dongfeng looked around and noticed that most of these creatures were adopting a huddled formation, maintaining a certain distance from each other, and being wary of each other.

"Damn it, why is everyone so far away from me? Am I that scary?" Ji Dongfeng said with a helpless face. At this moment, all the creatures were keeping at least a few kilometers away from him, and no one dared to approach him.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the Third Heaven trembled violently, and fireworks bloomed everywhere. The Spirit Treasures' flight officially began!
