Chapter 1246 [Immortal Realm Chapter] The Secret Realm of the Grass Sea, Ten Thousand Star Years
The fleet battle outside came to an abrupt end. The commander of the Kingdom of Luke, unwilling to accept defeat, ordered a retreat and then led the entire fleet away from the battlefield, thus ending the skirmish.
Brigadier General Brun, in the fleet command room, finally breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fist, and the many staff officers behind him burst into laughter.
"Great! We've captured this teleportation array. Now we just need Captain Lin to send us the spatial coordinates from inside so we can go in and loot it thoroughly. Maybe we can even achieve the military's objective from the start!"
"Don't be blindly optimistic. The immortal teleportation array will disappear after use, which means that the other side is most likely a secret realm or blessed land, and it may not be able to send messages out. We can't just wait here. We need to continue to look for new discoveries. Putting all your eggs in one basket is a big no-no!"
"That's true. Such a large cosmic ruin could contain more than one secret realm left behind by the immortal civilization. We need to cast a wide net to cover our territory. We have quite a few Star Warriors in our fleet, not to mention there might be more."
"Star Martial King?"
Upon arriving here, Lin Shan immediately began to investigate. He discovered that the environment was extremely harsh. Although there was a little spiritual energy circulating in the world, the earth was covered in a purple glow, with wisteria growing everywhere!
This is a notorious weed in the cultivation world. It grows by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it has no medicinal value whatsoever. If it is found in a spiritual field, it must be removed immediately to prevent it from competing with proper spiritual herbs for spiritual energy and land.
Who would have thought that this secret place had been left unattended for so long, growing wildly for countless years, and had become a wildfire!
The weeds have grown to be as tall as a person, and as far as the eye can see, they are boundless. It is no exaggeration to call it a sea of wisteria!
He was secretly lying in the haystack at that moment because a Star Martial King had just flown overhead.
That's right, he's the king of the Star Martial System, comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, with a jet-powered flight suit on his back, leaving a long white trail in the sky as he flies by.
Only the Star Martial King would dare to be so arrogant!
Just as he was observing, two more Star Martial Kings flew low overhead, heading in the same direction.
"So many Star Martial Kings?"
Before Lin Shan could recover, he suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from the surrounding bushes, and then he ran into the people chasing after him!
"."
The other person stared at him blankly, clearly not expecting a prone monster to be lurking in the bushes and actually come up to him.
Before we could even say hello, they started fighting without warning!
hum~
The hilt is activated, the lightsaber is in hand, grass clippings fly, and vines are scorched.
A dozen claws appeared behind him at the same time, stabbing at various parts of his body. It turned out that there were people behind him. This was a Star Warrior Squad!
The leading Star Warrior raised his sword and slashed, clearly very confident in his own strength.
However, who is Lin Shan? As a genius whale in the Aether Federation, he is armed with all kinds of armor and only cares about offense, not defense. He also drew his lightsaber to retaliate against his opponent!
The two exchanged dozens of blows, scorching and cutting down all the wisteria around them. The weeds were blown away by the strong wind, and finally one of them collapsed, coughing up blood.
puff~
He knelt down helplessly, and then lay dead in the wilderness.
The followers were so frightened by this that they turned and ran without looking back, disappearing into the sea of grass in an instant.
Lin Shan didn't give chase. Killing the leading Star Martial Master was enough; the remaining henchmen weren't worth wasting time on.
After searching the person's body, I found that in addition to equipment, there were also some spirit stones, so he must have come in through an external teleportation array. I have no interest in knowing which world or country he came from.
While he was fighting, two more groups of people had already walked around him.
Given that the place was not safe, he did not linger and followed in the direction everyone else was heading.
As for Brigadier General Bren's promise to contact the coordinates after entering, he discovered that this place was isolated from the outside world and could not restore contact, so he could only talk about it after he went out.
After thinking about it, since this place is isolated, there is no need to keep the body camera on and record the whole time, so as to avoid being able to access the surveillance footage after we leave.
He traveled through the vast sea of grass for half an hour, encountering several battles along the way. It was clear that his opponents thought he was easy to bully, being a first-level Star Martial Master, and simply wanted to eliminate him. As a result, they all fell into a trap.
Finally, a camp appeared ahead, with rows of white oval buildings standing tall.
The outside was riddled with potholes, and many grasslands had been cleared by the aftermath of the battle. The ground was littered with all sorts of corpses and equipment, a scene of utter devastation.
Meanwhile, muffled gunfire could still be heard from several buildings, and sporadic fighting was still taking place.
"Oh!"
Suddenly the door opened, and a man wielding a lightsaber kicked his defeated opponent out, spitting out a disdainful spittle with an arrogant expression, and was just about to get up and leave.
A flash of light appeared in the distance, and before he could realize what was happening, a bloody flower suddenly bloomed on his head, and then the sound came over.
There's a sniper!
The man had just killed a powerful enemy and was in a moment of relaxation when he was shot dead. Several hard lumps fell from his body, indicating that his protective armor had been pierced in an instant, leaving him no time to react.
At that moment, a flash of white light appeared on the other side!
A scream came from the sniper's location, followed by someone being blasted into the air. The moment their coordinates were revealed, their death was imminent.
Before they could even react, a rocket suddenly shot into the sky beside them, leaving a long trail of flame as it crashed into the spot where the white light had appeared, killing another sniper instantly!
The surrounding grassland immediately became lively, and several rockets could be seen being launched at the same time towards him. Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong. Which bastard exposed my coordinates?
Just as he turned to run away, a nimble, fat man emerged from the nearby bushes, carrying a rocket launcher as tall as a person and stumbling as he ran for his life!
"I'm sorry, brother."
This guy is quite loyal; he caused trouble and dragged others into it, so he knew to apologize.
But the next moment, he suddenly stretched out his big foot to trip Lin Shan, his intention was obvious: to make him fall down. He was looking for someone to take the fall with him, and he just happened to see him!
"No, you son of a bitch?"
Lin Shan laughed in anger. How could he possibly be tripped up by him?
He immediately rolled away to dodge, then quickly ran to the front. The fat man's eyes widened as he saw that he couldn't dodge the many rockets behind him. Suddenly, he stopped pretending and was propelled into the sky by two bursts of air behind him!
Booster aircraft!
Whoosh— A large, fat man nimbly flew into the air and rushed into the camp in front of everyone, then quickly slipped into a building.
The next moment, as soon as the door of the building next door opened, gunshots rang out from all directions outside the camp, and a round of concentrated fire instantly killed the person who had just come out!
Lin Shan couldn't help but gasp in amazement. This area was full of cunning old foxes and lurkers, all lying in the grass waiting to ambush people.
No one outside dared to go in, and no one inside dared to come out, resulting in a stalemate.
However, some people crawled forward, using blind spots to slowly move into the camp and exploit the blind spots of buildings to search for resources.
He thought about it and realized there was no need to stay there. Everything inside had already been looted, and there was no point in scheming against these people, since there were more than just Star Warriors on the field.
Just as I was about to get up, a massive divine sense swept across the distant horizon!
A bluish-green rainbow light approached from afar, crashing into the camp like a meteor from outer space. An old man with white hair roared, and the sound could be heard throughout the entire area.
"roll!!!"
Suddenly feeling the attack on his mental level, the instruments on his body beeped incessantly, and his mental defense ring was activated, but it could only mitigate the damage to a small extent. He managed to withstand the rest thanks to his powerful core.
Those around them were not so lucky; screams erupted as they fled in panic amidst the churning grass.
"Nascent Soul Stage Monk!"
This is already a powerful figure from the Immortal Dao civilization. He can defeat everyone present by himself, which can be described as extremely arrogant and domineering.
As expected, this cosmic relic has attracted cultivators from the immortal civilization, who are probably there for some purpose.
Lin Shan's eyes lit up!
Finally, a cultivator has appeared, and a Nascent Soul cultivator at that! We must seize this opportunity!
He also discovered that there was no monitoring everywhere like in the Steel Furnace World, and even the Star Martial Emperor was there to exert pressure. It was not a problem to release his divine sense, because he did not see even cultivators daring to show themselves so openly.
However, to be on the safe side, he did not reveal himself, only spreading out a small part of his Nascent Soul stage divine sense and extending his senses to the entire camp.
They discovered that a large group of people had gathered there, exploring and collecting supplies.
Inside were small dwellings and spirit fields, planted with spirit barley and spirit wheat. They hadn't been tended to for a long time, scattered here and there, resembling abandoned farms in the cultivation world.
The Star Warriors were happily collecting them, clearly knowing they were valuable items that would likely be welcomed by the rulers of the technological universe.
He discovered that there were several cultivators mixed in, including one who had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, two others at the Foundation Establishment stage, and one at the Golden Core stage.
These people generally ignored the spirit grains, since cultivators could already abstain from grains long ago; they seemed to be busy searching for something.
Lin Shan did not make any noise and simply observed the actions of these people quietly.
After working for a while without any results, they all used their magic to leave the place. In this respect, cultivators were obviously much more difficult to deal with than star warriors. They came and went without a trace, and were not easy to be ambushed or attacked.
They themselves did not specifically target the Star Hunters; they were all hurriedly making the most of their time to complete their missions.
The elder who was leading the group seemed to know the three cultivators. Before leaving, he greeted them and told them not to waste their time there. Then he turned into a rainbow of light and disappeared.
The three below were less flamboyant. After leaving the camp, they immediately concealed their cultivator aura and brazenly transformed into Star Warriors! Then, they secretly began to move.
Lin Shan followed them discreetly to see what their plan was.
The Golden Core cultivator among them was none other than the fat guy who had tricked him outside the camp earlier, carrying a rocket launcher and acting all high and mighty. Turns out he was just a fake cultivator!
Along the way, the grasslands stretched endlessly, and every now and then we would encounter a camp or a group of buildings, all of which had a strong cultivation style. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, it was still possible to vaguely see that this seemed to be a secret realm for cultivating spiritual fields.
This place was probably owned by a certain cultivation world force back then. Later, the world changed drastically, and for some reason, everyone in it disappeared, and it became a deserted place.
After going inside and checking repeatedly, those people found nothing at all; instead, they all looked worried and seemed to have encountered a considerable problem.
On the contrary, a group of martial artists treated all kinds of small spiritual objects and plants in the cultivation world as treasures, and each of them wanted to take them all, starting a locust swarm mode.
Clearly, they didn't know what exactly they needed; they just followed their superiors' orders and took whatever they could find, even the turf in some fields!
The three cultivators watched with obvious disdain, showing no intention of competing with the country bumpkin.
But then they encountered a truly magical herb!
"This is."
The fat man's eyes lit up as if he had seen a stunning beauty. He tactically glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then quickly pulled out a jade shovel from his pocket and carefully planted the spiritual herb, roots and all, into a vase. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, this trip has finally yielded some results."
The two Foundation Establishment stage disciples beside him had their eyes gleaming with envy and quickly whispered to him:
"Senior brother, what kind of spiritual herb is this? It's not ordinary, it must be able to survive until now through the survival of the fittest in the secret realm."
"I don't know either. I just sensed it and it should be a fourth-tier spiritual herb, enough to refine pills for the Golden Core stage. This is very rare in the three major spiritual realms of the cultivation world today. In the Dharma-ending Age, things are valued for their rarity, and most spiritual herbs can no longer be cultivated and have become extinct. It is indeed not easy to find such a treasure."
The fat man was filled with emotion. He had clearly been terrified of poverty in his daily life, and now that he had encountered the miraculous medicine, he cherished it all the more. He had finally made a profit.
"This faint universe flourished with immortal cultivation hundreds of thousands of years ago. But since it was invaded, plundered, and colonized by extraterrestrial demons, it has been in a state of semi-death. In the past, there was one such ancient relic every few hundred years, but now only one appears every few thousand years. I really don't know how much longer the immortal civilization can last."
However, when he thought of something, his face inevitably darkened.
"Don't just follow me. Spread out and look for other things, especially the longevity elixir that our master specifically requested. Even if you don't find it, you can still make a fortune by picking up other things to sell!"
The other two couldn't help but smile wryly.
"Senior brother, please don't joke around. We only realized after entering that this secret realm is full of powerful individuals. Star Martial Masters are everywhere, and Star Warriors are as common as dogs. With our cultivation level, who could we possibly defeat? If they had any better technology or equipment, they could easily crush us. It's safer to stay with you."
A Foundation Establishment cultivator's spiritual sense range is only one hundred meters. To be honest, that's acceptable in the immortal world, but it's far from enough in the technological world. Star Martial Arts experts can lock onto you from a great distance with firearms, making it impossible to avoid in advance!
Upon hearing this, the fat man could only sigh, knowing that his two junior brothers were telling the truth. He could only shake his head and wave his hand, instructing them to stay within a few hundred meters of him and take care of them within his capabilities.
Little did they know that their conversation was overheard by Lin Shan, who was following behind.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the immortal civilization of the Microcosm flourished, which is why such cosmic relics were left behind. The extraterrestrial demons were indeed invaders.
If the news is true, there really is a 100,000-year-old medicinal herb here. Its medicinal effects are probably ridiculously strong. It is a genuine rare treasure!
Compared to the world of immortals where everything is harvested in a single year, truly good things need time to mature and be refined before they can take shape.
If I could get my hands on it, wouldn't I have the resources to break through to the Void Realm in the future?
