151: Chapter 151 The Primordial Extraordinary Species: The Sky-Searching Spirit Rat!

The Spirit Realm, Southwest Wilderness.

Since that fleeting wisp of a xuantian spirit treasure’s aura had vanished, this vast, desolate wilderness—once devoid of human tracks and life—instantly became the most bustling and chaotic region in the entire Spirit Realm.

Countless treasure-seeking Cultivators and elites from various major forces were like a swarm of locusts, sweeping through this immense area wave after wave in a frenzied search.

To fight over even the most ethereal and vague clues, tragic and bloody conflicts erupted in the wilderness almost every moment.

However, just how vast was the Spirit Realm?

Even if it were just this corner of the Southwest Wilderness, its area was countless times larger than the entire Human Realm combined.

Trying to find a deliberately hidden Spirit Treasure here was like looking for a needle in a haystack; it was certainly not something that could be searched thoroughly in a short amount of time.

During this period, many experts from the Spirit Realm who excelled in divination—at the Body Integration Stage or even the Mahayana Stage—attempted to deduce the whereabouts of this newly emerged xuantian spirit treasure within their Dao arenas.

But what made all these divination Revered Masters cough up blood in horror was that the result shown by the heavenly secrets was actually four words—No Such Item Exists!

That pseudo-heaven opening axe was originally a disposable item produced by the System. After cleaving open the Ascension Passage, it had completely dissipated into nothingness, not even leaving a speck of dust behind. It would be a miracle if they could deduce anything!

With the experts' divinations proving useless, the major forces could only resort to the clumsiest method: a carpet search.

Even worse, this crowd of treasure-seeking Cultivators was mixed with a large number of Desperados looking to fish in troubled waters.

They deliberately spread false information, saying it was in this valley today and that abyss tomorrow, while secretly and frenziedly ambushing those lone treasure-seeking Cultivators.

The entire Southwest Wilderness was thrown into a foul, chaotic mess.

And amidst this chaotic army of treasure hunters...

Only one person appeared exceptionally at ease and possessed a very strong sense of purpose.

That was the sole Personal Disciple of Empress Xuanhuang, Chu Lingyue—Jiang Yutang, who was at the Late Stage of the Body Integration Stage!

For her to dare venture alone into this chaotic wilderness to participate in this treasure hunt, she naturally possessed an absolute confidence that others could not match.

This confidence did not come entirely from her powerful Late Stage Body Integration cultivation, nor was it just the life-saving trump cards her Revered Master had left her; rather, it was a small golden mouse currently perched obediently on her fragrant shoulder.

This mouse was called the Heaven-Searching Spirit Mouse, a wondrous beast of heaven and earth possessing a Primordial Variant Bloodline!

Back then, the reason her Revered Master, Empress Xuanhuang Chu Lingyue, could rise so rapidly in the cruel Spirit Realm was largely due to this Heaven-Searching Spirit Mouse; it had once found countless Heaven And Earth Treasures and ancient ruins buried deep underground for the Empress.

However, once Chu Lingyue reached the Peak of the Mahayana Stage and became the strongest in the Spirit Realm, this Spirit Mouse was no longer of much use to her, so she bestowed it upon her only Personal Disciple, Jiang Yutang.

Although the pseudo-heaven opening axe had completely dissipated after cleaving open the Ascension Passage, a trace of extremely faint Law fluctuations still remained in the Void Realm.

Ordinary experts and divination methods might not be able to perceive it, but it could not escape the nose of this Heaven-Searching Spirit Mouse with its Primordial Variant Bloodline!

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

At this moment, the Heaven-Searching Spirit Mouse's golden whiskers twitched slightly, and its tiny paws pointed excitedly toward the most inconspicuous, remote corner of the wilderness where the Spiritual Qi was at its thinnest.

"Is it in that direction?"

A flash of joy appeared in Jiang Yutang's beautiful eyes. She skillfully avoided the treasure-hunting armies that were fighting over false clues and transformed into an obscure Ice-blue streak of light, racing toward the direction the Spirit Mouse pointed.

As she flew, Jiang Yutang observed the increasingly desolate scenery around her, secretly marveling in her heart.

"It's actually in such a godforsaken place? No wonder those old monsters from the Holy Lands couldn't find it even after turning the ground upside down. Who would have thought that a dignified xuantian spirit treasure would be born in such a backwater?"

Jiang Yutang became increasingly certain that this xuantian spirit treasure was destined to be hers!

Once she obtained it and showed it to her Revered Master, her Revered Master would surely look at her in a new light.

Following the Spirit Mouse's guidance, Jiang Yutang traveled tens of thousands of miles silently.

Finally, the Heaven-Searching Spirit Mouse jumped excitedly on her shoulder, letting out crisp cries to indicate that the destination was just ahead.

Jiang Yutang restrained her Body Integration Stage aura and cautiously moved forward.

However, when the scene ahead fully came into view, this dignified Personal Disciple of the Empress of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace felt as if she had been struck by lightning, freezing on the spot!

"This... what kind of ghostly place is this?!"

In the middle of that desolate wilderness, a strange area spanning a dozen kilometers had actually appeared out of thin air!

And within this area, there was actually a cultivation Sect!

But what made Jiang Yutang's scalp tingle and even shattered her worldview was not how abruptly this Sect appeared, but rather its appalling level of "extravagance"!

Behind the Sect's main hall stood a massive "Rockery" used to decorate the landscape.

Jiang Yutang rubbed her eyes and stared intently at that Rockery.

That wasn't some ordinary strange stone at all, but an entire mountain of Spirit Stones piled completely out of pure High-Grade Spirit Stones!

The intense spiritual light it emitted nearly blinded her.

This was precisely the product of the incredibly tacky Grandmaster Wang experimenting with the second major function of his Invincible Domain: Void Creation.

"Where did this Nouveau Riche come from?!" Jiang Yutang's beautiful eyes widened as she screamed inwardly, "To pile so many High-Grade Spirit Stones out in the open as a Rockery, aren't they afraid of being robbed?!"

On that Spirit Stone Rockery, a silver-white waterfall was making a thundering sound as it cascaded down.

Jiang Yutang gasped again. What was flowing in that waterfall? It was clearly pure Spiritual Qi that had been concentrated to the extreme!

"To forcibly extract Spiritual Qi and compress it into a liquid state?!"

Jiang Yutang was completely dumbfounded. "Instead of using this level of spiritual liquid to absorb and Breakthrough in cultivation, they're actually using it as a waterfall feature?!"

Pure High-Grade Spirit Stones as a Rockery?!

Compressed liquid Spiritual Qi as a water feature?!

Gulp...

Jiang Yutang swallowed hard, her mind going blank.

She was, after all, a Personal Disciple of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace; what great storms had she not seen?

But she had truly never seen such a "tacky" Sect before!

This style of recklessly squandering cultivation resources was simply more Nouveau Riche than a Mortal upstart!

Just whose mentally unstable Sect base was this?!

With a gaze filled with extreme shock and speechlessness, Jiang Yutang slowly looked up.

At the entrance of that Sect, which looked tacky to an appalling degree, stood a towering Divine Jade Archway, upon which three large words were carved in a flamboyant style:

Hehuan Sect!

"Hehuan Sect?" Jiang Yutang was stunned. "When did such a Sect appear in the Spirit Realm? How have I never heard of it?"
