Chapter 1034 Great Harvest

The Taoist was a member of the Setting Sun Sea, the sect master of the Azure Pine Temple known as "Elder Xuanjin (Person Name)".

Eldrin (Person Name) glanced at the 2 figures upon hearing this.

He had now gained some knowledge of the surrounding seas. From what he understood, the Sky Demon Sea bordered the Crimson Dragon Sea, and within it resided a powerful Sky Demon who had survived 6 heavenly tribulations, reaching the cultivation level of Half-Step Earth Immortal.

The fact that Kongming Temple could establish itself in the Sky Demon Sea was a clear indication that this sect's power was not to be underestimated.

Indeed, this was the case. Between the 2, the Eldrin of the Mystical Forbidden Temple, as the master of his sect, had only reached the seventh layer of Ascendant Ascension. In contrast, the True Aura Arhat had already attained the eighth layer of Ascendant Ascension.

"It appears that within the Empty Radiance Temple, there resides at least 1 powerful immortal or Buddha who has weathered several heavenly tribulations."

His mind racing, Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands in salute to the pair before inquiring, "So it is 2 eminent masters. My apologies for the lack of respect."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Eldrin inquired, "I wonder what matter has prompted Fellow Daoist 6 Stars to summon the 2 of us?"

The 6 Stars Immortal’s expression turned solemn at these words. He cast his gaze toward the surrounding immortals and the spirit herb garden, declaring, "Within this blessed land, there is a formation array laid down by the Earth Immortal Patriarch."

Within the Spirit Herb Garden, restrictions left by an Earth Immortal still remained. Although many had been undone by now, entering was no easy feat.

"Moreover, with so many immortals watching closely, it won't be easy to get a share of the spoils."

He paused briefly, then turned to Eldrin and said, "That is why I wish to invite you to join forces and contend for the various spiritual treasures together."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Eldrin's eyes as he finally understood that 6-Celestial Immortal valued his strength and wished to join forces with him.

With this thought in mind, he exchanged a glance with Refined Void Immortal before saying, "Since you extend the invitation, Fellow Daoist, I would naturally be willing to join forces."

"Good."

The 3 of them broke into faint smiles upon hearing this. The 6 Stars Immortal breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I can finally set my mind at ease."

Just as the crowd was conversing, more and more immortals gathered before the Spirit Herb Garden, and in the blink of an eye, there were already 30-6 immortals present.

Among them, there were 3 at the Ninth Ascension Realm—a human immortal named Eldrin (Person Name), the Crimson Dragon Child (Person Name), and a divine being.

Just then, the human immortal at the Ninth Ascension of Immortal Ascension spoke, "Almost everyone is here. With over 30 of us immortals joining forces, it should be more than enough to breach this spirit herb garden."

Chilongzi (Person Name) also nodded, his expression cold as he declared, “It is only fitting. If we delay any longer, those who went to search for treasures elsewhere will soon arrive.”

"Then let's begin."

The deity at the ninth level of Ascension Realm spoke, and with a flick of his sleeve, conjured an immortal treasure to strike toward the Spirit Herb Garden.

Chilongzi and the human Immortals did not hesitate either, immediately launching their assault into the ancient ruins.

Seeing 3 supreme immortals at the peak of the Ninth Level Ascension Realm take action, the crowd showed no hesitation. They immediately summoned their celestial treasures and launched a unified assault.

In an instant, over 30 immortals struck simultaneously. Countless celestial arts and immortal treasures bombarded the formation, shattering it in mere moments.

Charge…

Seeing the restriction broken, Eldrin (Person Name) was the first to charge inside. Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining cultivators frantically flew toward the Herb Garden (Location).

Following the crowd, Eldrin (Person Name) soared inside, only to hear the Void-Refining Immortal (Person Name) warn, "The formation will restore itself within half an hour—do not waste a moment."

"Understood."

Eldrin nodded with utmost gravity and charged into the spirit herb garden.

Several figures stepped into the spirit herb garden together and were instantly greeted by an overwhelmingly majestic spiritual energy.

The spirit herb garden was filled with precious and rare spiritual plants, where even immortal-grade herbs were far from uncommon.

Time was of the essence, and Eldrin could no longer afford to carefully pluck the herbs. He had no choice but to swiftly sweep through with his 5-Colored Divine Light. In an instant, vast quantities of spiritual herbs and immortal herbs were swept away, leaving behind nothing but an empty, desolate medicine garden.

Yet he refrained from utter annihilation. As he gathered the spiritual herbs, he shook loose countless seeds, scattering them across the medicine garden.

In this way, after waiting another several 100 1000 to a million years, this spirit herb garden would once again restore a scene like the present 1.

Getting back to the main story.

This herb garden had remained untouched for hundreds of thousands of years, flourishing with countless spirit herbs and immortal plants.

The combined strength of these few individuals was immensely formidable; even 1 or 2 ordinary Immortals would be utterly powerless to contend with them for resources.

Eldrin had only remained within for a brief moment, yet he had already gathered 7 or 8 immortal herbs, while spirit herbs below the immortal rank were too numerous to count.

The 6 Stars Immortal and the others also reaped tremendous gains; it appeared each had obtained at least several stalks of rare celestial herbs.

Such immense gains filled everyone with joy. The 6 Stars Immortal gazed toward the depths of the herb garden and declared, "Ahead lies the core of the spiritual medicine garden, where the immortal energy is most abundant. It is most likely where the Scarlet Sun Blessed Land cultivates its celestial herbs."

"The land for cultivating immortal herbs?"

Eldrin was somewhat tempted by the words, yet his expression remained grave.

The core area was exclusively dedicated to cultivating immortal herbs, and it would be no exaggeration to call it the Immortal Herb Garden.

They had only scavenged a portion of the outer perimeter of the spirit herb garden, yet they had already acquired dozens of priceless immortal herbs. If they were to enter the heart of the immortal herb garden, how much greater would their harvest be?

However, the Immortal Herb Garden was clearly a coveted place for all the immortals. Several experts at the 9th Level of Ascension, including Eldrin (Person Name), had already fought their way inside.

With their current strength, venturing into the inner circle to claim a share would likely trigger an exceptionally perilous battle.

However, treasures stir the hearts of men. With the 5 of them joining forces, even a cultivator at the ninth level of Ascension would struggle to match them. Naturally, they had no reason to hold back.

The 6 Stars Immortal exchanged glances with the others, then took the lead and soared inside.

The crowd followed closely behind, flying together into the heart of the spirit herb garden.

Eldrin followed the group inside, but the moment they arrived before the immortal herb garden, his expression shifted subtly.

At this moment, before the Immortal Herb Garden, an overwhelmingly powerful figure was unleashing continuous attacks, actually forcing numerous immortals into retreat.

That was an immensely colossal serpent, its entire body forged from azure gold, possessing astonishing power.

Even the combined efforts of 3 Ninth-Level Ascension cultivators, including Eldrin (Person Name), could not subdue him for the moment.

"This is..."

Eldrin's expression shifted, and he could not help but exclaim in astonishment.

Seeing this, the 6 Stars Immortal explained with utmost gravity, "This is the Puppet Heaven Python, likely a celestial treasure puppet left behind by the Crimson Sun Blessed Realm within the formation array in ancient times."

"This puppet sky serpent, drawing upon the power of the formation, unleashes a force no less formidable than that of a supreme immortal."

"Since it appears here, it is likely left behind by the Earth Immortal Elder as a contingency to guard the spirit herb garden."

Just then, Eldrin’s eyes lit up at the sight of the arriving crowd. “You’ve come at the perfect moment,” he urged. “Join forces swiftly to defeat the Puppet Sky Python, or none shall lay claim to this celestial herb.”

Time was of the essence. With merely a shared glance, the group acted in perfect unison, unleashing their techniques without hesitation.

With the aid of 4 late-stage Ascension Realm immortals, the group finally managed to suppress the Sky-Puppet Serpent.

Seizing an opening, the human cultivator at the ninth level of Ascension Realm summoned a massive net to ensnare the Puppet Heaven Python, then instantly soared into the immortal herb garden.

"Perfect timing."

Eldrin's eyes also lit up, and in an instant, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light, soaring into it.
