161: Enter the cave and search for treasures

Bao Gaoshua was a low-level player of the Great Love Sect; his strength was not too high, and his character's talent was mediocre, meaning his potential was essentially capped.

However, facing a Heaven-Blessed Land with a Nascent Soul Inheritance, he, like other players, decided to contend for it no matter what.

When the Heaven-Blessed Land's Formation shattered, Bao Gaoshua immediately rushed towards Mingshui Heaven, shouting to his companion beside him:

"Mudaoren, the Formation's broken! Stop meditating, quickly... Damn, why are you running so fast?"

Mudaoren, a black-robed evilCultivator, had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, but now he had transformed into a streak of blood mist, rapidly escaping towards the Heaven-Blessed Land.

Bao Gaoshua's eyelids twitched as he watched. Good heavens, to gain an advantage, he didn't hesitate to use a Blood Escape Method that consumed his Origin, truly an all-out effort.

But just then, Mudaoren, who had already fled far away, let out a mournful cry.

It turned out a Flying Sword had shot directly at him, deeply embedding itself in his body, knocking him down.

Then, countless spells bombarded him, utterly pulverizing him into dust.

Bao Gaoshua watched, dumbfounded, as more and more players surged from all directions, attacking the leading players. The majority of these were Great Love Sect evilCultivators.

At this stage, the Great Love Sect's lack of discipline was finally exposed. Everyone, in their rush to get ahead, began to attack their own comrades.

Bao Gaoshua, feeling his strength was insufficient, didn't dare to lead. He waited until the first few waves of strong Cultivators had entered and the remaining players stopped fighting each other before he finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly made his way towards Mingshui Heaven.

He also found it strange. This time, the Heaven-Blessed Land's descent was completely different from Green Emerald Heaven. Not only did players become the absolute protagonists, but the intensity of their competition far surpassed anything before, making people exclaim how outrageous it was.

'Sigh, wasn't it better when everyone explored together harmoniously, like during the Golden Core Tomb event?'

Bao Gaoshua sighed, reminiscing about the simple Xuanhuan World of the past.

The constant fighting of these past days, even for a player like him who enjoyed PVP, was becoming unbearable. It was simply too intense. The new generation of VR pods could run for extended periods, and Cultivators didn't need to sleep at all, truly fighting twenty-four hours a day, with an intensity unimaginable to Mortals.

Little did he know that in the Xuanhuan World, it was normal for the opening of a Secret Realm to trigger a wave of slaughter, causing countless Geniuses to fall.

Too many Cultivators with grievances entered Secret Realms, too many strong Cultivators with no hope of Breakthrough wished to defy fate and change their destiny within them, and countless Prodigies, with an invincible spirit, roamed freely... In the Xuanhuan World, the places with the most disputes, the most Geniuses, and the most brutal and naked fighting were Secret Realms like Heaven-Blessed Lands.

Bao Gaoshua shook his head, no longer thinking, and followed the main group towards Mingshui Heaven.

The outskirts of Mingshui Heaven were a lush, vibrant forest, brimming with Spiritual Qi.

Bao Gaoshua hadn't walked far when he saw Spirit Medicine plants emitting a fragrant aroma. His eyes lit up, and he quickly plucked them, exclaiming that he had struck it rich.

After harvesting the Spirit Medicine, he looked up and saw, good heavens, unknown fruits growing on a nearby large tree, shimmering with spiritual light. They were clearly treasures.

He quickly gathered them, placing them all into his storage ring.

Turning around again, he saw a small Demonic Beast had appeared out of nowhere. Its combat power was low, but Demonic Beasts still held considerable value, so Bao Gaoshua quickly formed hand seals towards it.

Thus, after entering the Heaven-Blessed Land, Bao Gaoshua remained in the outer perimeter, not venturing deep... On the other side.

Wang Huohuo led the former Great Jiang imperial court Cultivators, all stepping into the forest.

"There's Spirit Medicine!"

A Herbalist player exclaimed, "It's rank 8 Wind-Calming Grass! It can be used to refine Wind-Calming Pills and Wind-Inducing Pills; it's very valuable."

Another player saw a tall, majestic tree, tens of meters high, and cried out, "Holy crap, this is a rank 7 Spirit Tree! Its fruits can allow Spirit Nurturing Cultivators to directly Breakthrough to Qi Refining!"

As former imperial court Cultivators, these players clearly possessed more skills than Bao Gaoshua, able to accurately identify the spiritual plants here and assess their value.

Soon, some people fell behind and stopped to collect these rank 8 and rank 7 treasures.

But more people followed Wang Huohuo, continuing deeper.

"Rank 7 and 8 items are a dime a dozen in Great Jiang Imperial City. Coming here just for this trash is a complete waste of time."

Wang Huohuo did not stop at all. She had already achieved Immortal Foundation and came here to seek further advancement, so she would not linger in the outer regions.

Leading her team, she passed through the forest and finally found the great river. From afar, it looked like an ocean, and for a moment, the opposite bank was out of sight.

On their side, along the riverbank, stood numerous pavilions. The Cultivator buildings in Mingshui Heaven were clearly built around this great river.

Wang Huohuo led her people into the pavilions. After a search, she quickly found various rank 6 treasures.

Her other teammates couldn't hold back and broke off from the group to scavenge.

Wang Huohuo herself couldn't resist and began to scavenge along the river, her speed inevitably slowing down.

When she discovered an Immortal Cave used for secluded cultivation, containing a rank 6 Spirit Gathering Array and a storage room filled with many rank 6 Medicinal Pills, Wang Huohuo completely gave in. She stopped on the spot, intending to spend some Lifespan to further enhance her strength... Ye Chun also led his people into Mingshui Heaven.

As soon as he entered, he felt his Cultivation Technique operate on its own, and Spiritual Qi surged in extremely quickly.

'It seems the Heshui Prefecture's Golden Core Method indeed has a strong connection with Mingshui Heaven.'

Ye Chun gained more confidence in the Nascent Soul Inheritance.

He divided the players of Heshui Prefecture's first guild into many teams, scattering them to scavenge on their own, but requiring them to report back promptly.

He himself, along with a few trusted Mortal Foundation Cultivator, passed through the forest and found the great river.

"Great God, these pavilions should be where Mingshui Heaven Cultivators usually cultivated and lived. There are quite a few treasures inside. Should we stop and scavenge?"

Ye Chun nodded, allowing the players to scavenge a few pavilions together, then said:

"These places at most only have rank 6 treasures, clearly for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators to cultivate. But Mingshui Heaven once had a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor, and Golden Core Cultivators wouldn't have been few, so this definitely isn't the core area. The true Legacy won't be here."

Only then did the players recover from their excitement.

After all, with a Nascent Soul Inheritance within the Heaven-Blessed Land, the treasures here no longer seemed so tempting.

So Ye Chun led his people further along the great river, continuing to search for the Nascent Soul Inheritance... On the other side.

Wang Long led his teammates, fighting their way through the player crowd, passing through the forest, arriving at the great river, and seeing the pavilions filled with treasures.

His teammates looked at him with longing in their eyes, hoping to stop and scavenge some treasures.

But Wang Long waved his hand, "Disperse, all of you, and search for traces of Ye Chun. Once you find him, send me a message immediately. I want to kill him myself."

The vice-captain and others exchanged glances, but in the end, they could only nod helplessly.

Among so many players, Wang Long's team was probably one of the few who came not for treasure hunting, but solely for killing.
