482: The pursuers are coming again

As the sun god crystal was completely Seal, the seabed suddenly plunged into a dead silence of absolute darkness and extreme cold.

The previously scorching energy vanished without a trace, replaced by an extreme low temperature capable of instantly freezing a ten-thousand-foot deep abyss.

If a Nascent Soul Cultivator were here, he would likely not last more than ten breaths before his Divine Soul was frozen into dust.

But for Xiao Zhuo, this was merely a breeze.

With a thought, the faintly glowing virtual panel quietly appeared.

He tried to place the Seal crystal into the resource exchange slot.

The Seal sun god crystal: Can be exchanged for 6,487,485 Attribute Points (Great Thousand World). Do you wish to exchange!?

Looking at the long string of breathtaking numbers on the panel, Xiao Zhuo's lips curved into an uncontrollable smile.

Six million four hundred eighty-seven thousand!

This single divine crystal was enough to push his cultivation back to the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm in the Nirvana Realm!

Of course, without a suitable origin supreme treasure to house the Dao fruit, no matter how many Attribute Points he had, it would ultimately be difficult to cross the chasm leading to the Quasi-Immortal realm.

His fingertip hovered over the virtual 'exchange' button for a moment, lost in a brief deliberation.

The sun god crystal, merely as Materials, could be exchanged for such an astronomical number; its inherent value was simply immeasurable.

According to ancient records, this item was the supreme divine object for refining origin divine weapon, capable of elevating any origin divine weapon to the legendary Divine-Grade Domain!

A true Divine-Grade origin divine weapon, even a low-grade one, was enough to cause earth-shattering changes in the combat power of a Quasi-Immortal Rank grand powerful being!

Such a Heaven-Defying origin supreme treasure was beyond the wildest dreams of even ordinary Quasi-Immortal across the Sea of Taboo.

"Attribute Points can be hunted slowly, but this sun god crystal... is a truly unprecedented Immortal fate, something that can be encountered but not sought. Even if I were to spend Attribute Points to exchange for it, it would undoubtedly be expensive. I'll keep it for now."

Xiao Zhuo's eyes gleamed, and he instantly made his decision.

With a thought, he carefully stored the spatial crystal, which contained terrifying energy, deep within his Sea of Consciousness, slowly nurturing it with his own Divine Soul Origin Qi.

After all, he was going to search for the elusive 'Ruins of the Lost' in the boundless Sea of Taboo; his future was uncertain, and he had plenty of time.

A mere few million Attribute Points; at worst, he would just spend more time hunting sea beasts!

This Sea of Taboo, for him, had completely transformed from a dangerous place into a giant Treasure Trove hunting ground from which he could take whatever he wanted.

Putting away the divine crystal, Xiao Zhuo's figure moved, transforming into an invisible, intangible shadow, and sped towards the deeper, more dangerous core region of the Sea of Taboo.

Possessing a Space-Time Spiritual Root, he was like a fish in water in this chaotic sea region, even more at ease than the native sea beasts that had lived there for generations.

Often, before the deadly, invisible spatial rifts had fully formed, their subtle fluctuations were already perceived by him in advance, allowing him to easily avoid them.

As he moved forward, his Divine Sense was fully open, like the most experienced hunter, searching for traces of prey.

The Sea of Taboo was vast and boundless, hiding too many ancient secrets.

He had once delved into a terrifying abyss tens of thousands of feet deep, where he frantically hunted tens of thousands of sea beasts, including four Profound Immortal Rank overlords, hundreds of True Immortal and Heavenly Immortal Rank great demons, and countless below the Immortal Rank.

In just three days, his Attribute Points had accumulated to a staggering hundred thousand!

The slaughter was so intense that it almost turned that abyss into a Blood Prison.

Until finally, a terrifying aura that made his Divine Soul tremble suddenly awakened from the deepest part of the abyss!

It was a Golden Immortal Rank ancient Dragon Whale variant that had been slumbering for countless millennia!

If Xiao Zhuo's Divine Soul essence were not still Quasi-Immortal, and his spiritual perception had not had an almost premonitory sense of danger, allowing him to escape one ten-thousandth of a second in advance, he would have long been swallowed by that heaven-devouring maw, his body destroyed and Dao dissipated.

After this experience, Xiao Zhuo became even more cautious, finding a secluded place to enter seclusion again.

The fourth stage of the Free and Natural Heavenly Art naturally reached completion, and his cultivation once again surged, breaking through to the Peak Golden Immortal in one fell swoop!

All Attribute Points were consumed.

Just as his eyes gleamed with cold light, intending to return to that abyss to seek out the Dragon Whale and thoroughly slaughter the entire abyss—

His heart suddenly stirred.

He flipped his hand and took out an item, which was the moon-white round mirror he had obtained from the Heavenly Immortal of the Wind Emissary Lineage.

A sky patrol mirror replica!

The Restriction on it, which was difficult to decipher, was still profound; even he could only glimpse some of its patterns and could not break it.

"Heh, Wind Emissary Lineage... a persistent ghost."

The slight smile on Xiao Zhuo's face from his recent Breakthrough instantly vanished, his expression as cold as ice, and a chilling glint flickered in his eyes.

Did these pawns of the Tianyi Immortal Dynasty really think he was a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will?

After he had slain one of their Heavenly Immortal, they actually came chasing so quickly again, in less than a month!

However, they probably never dreamed that in such a short time, he had leaped from Peak True Immortal to Peak Golden Immortal!

The round mirror in his hand was transmitting extremely subtle spatial fluctuations, like a lighthouse in the darkness, continuously sending out his location information.

A cruel, cold smile curled at Xiao Zhuo's lips; instead of being anxious, he completely abandoned the idea of leaving immediately.

"I originally planned to slaughter that Dragon Whale, but since you are so eager to die, I will accept this great gift first."

His killing intent was firm.

Since he temporarily had no time to go to the Central Immortal Domain to trouble them, he would gladly accept these Attribute Points that were actively delivered to his door, considering them a small interest collected in advance!

When he freed up his hands in the future, he would personally visit the Central Immortal Domain and uproot this Wind Emissary Lineage!

Since they dared to treat him as a soft persimmon and repeatedly came to hunt him down, then they should be prepared... to be annihilated in return!

...A thousand miles away.

A hundred-zhang Immortal ship, wreathed in purple Immortal radiance, broke through the gloomy clouds that perpetually hung over the Sea of Taboo, speeding silently.

At the bow of the ship, a middle-aged man in a deep purple Immortal robe, with an aura as profound as the sea, stood with his hands behind his back.

In front of him floated a moon-white round mirror, which clearly displayed a constantly flashing light dot.

A playful, cold smile, like a cat toying with a mouse, appeared at his lips: "Mu Zejin, that good-for-nothing, actually fell to a Quasi-Immortal; he truly shamed my Wind Emissary Lineage."

Beside him, a sky patrol mirror Emissary in a silver robe with a long saber at his waist stood respectfully, and upon hearing this, immediately fawningly agreed: "Lord Wind Jade is absolutely right! Mu Zejin was inferior in skill and deserved to die; it's a bother that you, my lord, had to personally make a trip to this desolate dead land."

"Good-for-nothing?" Wind Jade Golden Immortal scoffed, glancing at his subordinate, "Not entirely good-for-nothing, though. If he hadn't been so useless, how could this lord have learned of this great fortune? A Heavenly Grade Spirit Refiner grand powerful being's Reincarnation, his family background and foundation... Heh heh."

Tian Yidao, the silver-robed sky patrol mirror Emissary, his eyes flickering, knew he had flattered incorrectly and quickly changed the subject: "My lord is perceptive! It is this subordinate who is dull-witted. That Reincarnation must have used some kind of forbidden trump card, or even triggered a Heavenly Tribulation, to luckily kill Mu Zejin. But in front of you, my lord, he is nothing but a chicken and a dog!"

The arrogant expression on Wind Jade's face grew even stronger, clearly very pleased: "That is natural. How can this lord be compared to Mu Zejin? We ascended to Immortal Rank at the same time, yet now he is dead and his Dao dissipated, while this lord has already ascended to the Golden Immortal Dao! This time, after capturing this fiend and bringing him back, Lord Wind Envoy will surely bestow a heavy reward, and the position of Command Envoy will be within reach."

He paused, then squinted at Tian Yidao: "Tian Yidao, you have followed this lord for three thousand years and have always been loyal. When this lord is promoted to Command Envoy, I will surely recommend you to take over the position of Golden Token sky patrol mirror Emissary. The contribution points for this mission are also considerable, enough for you to exchange for a 'Heavenly Heart Breakthrough Pill', and breaking through the Profound Immortal Bottleneck that has troubled you for a thousand years will be just around the corner."

Tian Yidao was overjoyed at these words, trembling slightly with excitement, and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your cultivation, my lord! This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for my lord, and will not hesitate even unto death!"

As the two spoke, the Immortal ship tore through the Void Realm, continuously approaching the location of the light dot displayed on the sky patrol mirror.

However, just as they were about to reach the target sea area, the cold smile of certainty on Wind Jade's face suddenly froze, and his pupils abruptly contracted!

He stared intently at the waist of a dark, low mountain on an island ahead, and for the first time, an expression of incredible astonishment appeared on his face!
