Chapter 1643 Looting the Central Ancestral Vein

Tianyezi held the small black shuttle in his hand and sighed, "It's a pity that I was clumsy the first time I tried to refine it and failed to make it into a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. I named this treasure the Myriad Transformations Returning to the Void Shuttle. It can instantly split into thousands of forms, possesses the residual charm of the Great Dao of Erosion and Splitting, and can even simulate the operation of the opponent's laws to a certain extent. It contains a murderous aura and its power is comparable to that of a true Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!"

Looking at this strange yet powerful Myriad Transformations Returning to the Void Shuttle, everyone present was filled with countless emotions.

I never expected that a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage could refine a half-step Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

This is already incredibly amazing.

The Supreme Elder of the Reverse Origin Heavenly River glanced at the ruins below and then said:

"The heavy water alien race has occupied this place for countless years, and has devoured and assimilated countless living beings and resources. There must be reserves in their lair."

At their level, rare and precious natural treasures that can benefit their own path to enlightenment are extremely rare, and such ancient and exotic collections might bring surprises.

Isn't this exactly why they came here?

"Search separately, each according to their own chance!" the Ghost Emperor said in a deep voice.

He transformed into a shadowy figure and rushed towards the core area where the Weeping Demon had first appeared.

The residual spiritual power and ghostly aura are most concentrated there, and perhaps there are divine objects that resonate with his ghostly path.

The other Mahayana practitioners also took action.

The Supreme Elder of the Reverse Origin Heavenly River headed straight for the place where the Silver Erosion Flowing Shadow had collapsed, where the distorted fragments of time had not yet been completely restored.

The leader of the Burning Heaven Holy Sect rushed to the area where the energy conflict was most intense, searching for top-tier fire-type materials or materials containing the ultimate pure yang power that might not have been completely burned.

Emperor Huanxing and the Grand Master of the Lingyao Immortal Sect paid more attention to the strange fungi and minerals that grew in filth but survived tenaciously and even underwent mutations.

Zhan Wushuang and the Chief of the Feathered Guards were responsible for guarding the outer perimeter, while also carefully searching some peripheral areas.

For them, any resource that can enhance their strength is crucial.

Zhang Xuan did not rush to the most conspicuous core area.

He hovered in mid-air, his Heavenly Pivot Eyes operating at full power, scanning the entire Rift Nest Ruins.

At the same time, threads of cause and effect also manifested.

He quickly identified several locations with unusual yet subtle energy responses.

The first place is a small pile of strange bone fragments that were not completely corroded after the skeletal king completely disintegrated.

After undergoing the impact of multiple laws, especially the baptism of primordial chaos, these fragments not only did not turn into dust, but instead shed their surface impurities, revealing a profound Daoist charm that had endured countless tribulations.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and pulled them over. He probed them with his divine sense and found that these fragments were naturally engraved with extremely ancient and complex patterns. They seemed to be the remains of some powerful being, and were top-level materials for refining defensive treasures or enhancing physical strength.

"This might be helpful in enhancing the True Demon Body." Zhang Xuan put it away.

The second location is on the edge of the split nest, an area covered by the Cleansing Spirit Fungus.

After the spirit fungus devoured a large number of alien remains, it actually condensed several sclerotia the size of pigeon eggs at its core.

These sclerotia contain extremely pure life essence and creative power, which are priceless treasures for the Grand Master of the Spirit Medicine Immortal Sect, and are also of great use to Zhang Xuan's cultivation of the side branches related to the creation of life.

Whoever finds them first gets to keep them, and Zhang Xuan naturally took the few fungal spores without any hesitation.

The third location is at the very bottom of the split nest, in a collapsed and hidden depression.

The atmosphere here was the strangest. With a thought, Zhang Xuan slightly moved the spatial power, moving the ruins above away.

There was no dazzling light emanating from the depression, only a pool of gray liquid about the size of a washbasin.

This liquid appears calm, but upon closer inspection, one can discover countless tiny points of light within it.

"This is…?"

Zhang Xuan could sense a faint resonance between this object and the chaotic Dao crystal source image within his illusory Dao Tree, but their natures were completely different.

The Chaos Dao Crystal is the starting point and foundation of all laws returning to their origin, but this thing is more like a failed product of the forced convergence of all laws that failed to evolve into one, or rather... a defective product.

He carefully probed his divine sense into it.

In an instant, countless chaotic and disparate fragments of information about the laws flooded into my mind!

It possesses the corrosive and divisive properties of the heavy water alien race, faint traces of Dao principles left by the creatures they devoured, and even a trace of the rhythmic laws that dissipated when several Mahayana cultivators unleashed their supernatural powers during the recent battle!

These fragments clashed and annihilated each other, eventually falling into an absolute stagnation and balance, forming this strange, unified liquid.

“A prototype of… a Dao Origin Wonder? Or rather, its remains?” Zhang Xuan was shocked.

This object truly contains a trace of the primordial Daoist principle of the unity of all laws, and its status is extremely high.

If it can be successfully refined, it is enough to serve as a main Dao Source Treasure for some cultivators who pursue the Chaotic Dao!

However, that is also the problem.

Zhang Xuan's Great Dao is a true demonic body containing chaos within, combined with the fallen golden crow that carries destiny and undergoes nirvana rebirth, forming a well-ordered structure of two main trunks and thirteen side branches.

This unified whole of all things is not compatible with Zhang Xuan's authority over the Great Dao.

Forcibly fusing them would not only be useless, but would also interfere with the solidification of his own Great Dao Rule Tree.

"What a pity..." Zhang Xuan sighed softly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

This thing was like a chicken rib to him—tasteless to eat, but not entirely a pity to throw away.

He carefully collected it, sealed it in a specially made jade box, and placed it under layers of restrictions.

Although this object does not align with his path, its status as a rare and wondrous object originating from the Dao is beyond question.

Whether in the Dragon Spine Divine Realm or in other, more expansive realms, it is an absolute treasure that can drive Mahayana cultivators mad.

Keep it; perhaps in the future, you can exchange it for resources that are crucial to you from other powerful individuals who urgently need it and possess a matching Dao.

At this time, the other Mahayana practitioners also gained something.

The Ghost Emperor obtained a Netherworld Soul Crystal that contained the core essence of the Weeping Demon, which greatly benefited his tempering of the Netherworld Ghost's main body.

The Supreme Elder of the Reverse Origin Heavenly River found a small fragment of the Flowing Shadow Relic containing the power to distort time, which could help him comprehend the secrets of time.

The leader of the Burning Heaven Holy Sect obtained several Purifying Fire Lotuses born from extreme filth, containing the profound mystery of purification arising from extreme fire.

The Palace Master of Yuanliu Dao Palace discovered a primordial water eye, which, after being purified by her, could become an important resource for her authority over the main branch of the Myriad Waters Converging to the Sect.

Emperor Huanxing and the Grand Master of the Lingyao Immortal Sect also found many rare Huanxing Crystals and Mutant Bacterial Kings.

Zhan Wushuang obtained some strange ores containing spatial fluctuations, which could be used to refine his spatial sword principles.

The commander of the Feathered God Guard obtained a piece of Nether Iron tainted with pure Yellow Spring Death Qi, which helped him cultivate the Nine Nether Yellow Spring Path.

Although Tianyezi was the weakest, he had collected a large number of bones, shells and energy cores left by the Heavy Water alien race, which were all excellent materials for forging weapons.

After a thorough search, everyone had made a considerable haul, and their faces showed varying degrees of satisfaction.

Although the fierce battle that marked the beginning of their journey into the Central Ancestral Vein was perilous, the rewards were enough to console them.
