Family cultivation of immortality: from Fairy Cat Valley to the Nine Divine Realms

Chapter 1820 Taking stock of the spoils of the Burial Heaven Divine Palace

"Husband, how are you?" Jiao'er asked with concern.

"It's alright, I'll recover after a period of rest." Zhang Xuan shook his head, then a glint of light flashed in his eyes. "As for the gains this time..."

With a thought, he conjured several things from the inner world.

Those were fragments he risked his life to retrieve just as the Burial Heaven Palace collapsed.

A drop of Guyangyuan liquid.

The liquid was pale white, suspended in the palm of the hand, emanating a pure and ultimate yang energy.

Refining this liquid can allow a cultivator to perfect the Yang Dao, and even touch the realm of Solitary Yang, which is of great benefit to his Golden Crow trunk.

A wisp of Yin energy.

It has a grayish-brown color and contains the great principle of Yin.

It is also an unparalleled treasure; trading it for hundreds of immortal stones from the Abyss of Beginning Demons would be no problem at all.

The third item, the most precious, is a fragment of the Taiyi Void Spirit Body.

It is only the size of a fingernail, and a constantly changing phantom is sealed inside.

That was a small fragment of the ethereal body of a Taiyi-level being, containing the ultimate comprehension of the Taiyi level.

If this item is fully refined, it will be equivalent to obtaining a trace of the essence of Taiyi, which will greatly help in the future breakthrough to the Golden Immortal realm.

“Each of these three items is a treasure that can be called a world-protecting treasure!” Jiao’er exclaimed.

“That’s not all.” Zhang Xuan took out a few more items from the Immortal Path.

A miniature phantom of a cinnabar well.

Although it is only a phantom, it contains Dao Source Liquid, which is an unparalleled divine object for tempering the Dao foundation for true immortals.

The essence of the eight spiritual pools.

It corresponds to the eight great principles of time, space, cause and effect, destiny, birth, death, reincarnation, and existence.

Each drop of spiritual essence contains a complete chain of laws corresponding to the Great Dao. After refining it, one can directly master the corresponding Great Dao, saving tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

There are also three Dao Extinction Crystals.

That was formed from the core of the destructive Daoist essence when the Taiyi Daoist essence completely collapsed.

The crystals were jet black, their surface swirling with a terrifying Daoist aura that seemed to signify the end of all things.

This item cannot be directly refined, but it can be used as a powerful weapon.

Detonating one is enough to severely injure or even kill a Golden Immortal!

"My husband has gained quite a lot. Fortunately, I didn't leave empty-handed either." Something appeared in Jiao'er's palm.

It was a broken talisman.

The talisman was dark gold in color and only one-third of its original size, but the runes engraved on its surface made everyone present tremble with fear.

It was actually a fragment of the Taiyi Dao Seal!

"I extracted this from the remains of the Taiyi Heavenly Venerable when the divine palace collapsed just now," Jiao'er explained. "Although it is incomplete, it contains a trace of Taiyi authority. After refining it, one can briefly draw upon Taiyi-level power. Although it is only enough for one strike, it is enough to reverse life and death at a critical moment."

The other four all looked on with envy.

However, the four of them managed to obtain a considerable amount of top-tier immortal materials like Burial Heaven Black Gold during the instant the Burial Heaven Palace collapsed, making their trip worthwhile.

Everyone was silent.

The gains this time were enormous.

It was so large that even a true immortal would find it unreal.

"But the risks were also great," Emperor Wei Yuxuan said with a wry smile. "We almost suffered total annihilation."

"The path of cultivation is inherently a struggle against fate." Zhang Xuan put away all the immortal materials, his eyes gleaming with burning light. "Although this time was dangerous, it proved the old man in red robes' words that the Heavenly Dragon Organ Secret Realm does indeed hold unimaginable opportunities. As long as we can get out of here alive, reaching higher realms in the future is not a pipe dream."

"What's next?" the ninth-tier ancient whale asked. "Continue exploring the Netherworld Ancient Domain, or..."

"Let's leave first," Jiao'er said decisively. "Our injuries are quite serious, and we need time to process our gains."

“I agree. Let’s return to the Nine Divine Realms first, heal our injuries, and process what we’ve gained,” Zhang Xuan nodded.

"it is good!"

The others nodded in agreement.

The lingering effects of the collapse of the Burial Heaven Palace slowly subsided at the edge of the Netherworld Ancient Domain.

A path to immortality unfolded, and although the cracks were not completely healed, they no longer hindered passage.

He activated the illusory gate at the end of the immortal path, which was guarded by nine dragons and slowly emerged.

When the celestial gate opened, the phantoms of nine divine dragons appeared lifelike, and their roars echoed throughout the heavens.

However, the moment the six people passed through the door one by one and stepped into the Nine Divine Realms again.

"Roar……"

The nine dragon roars shifted from real to illusory, and the immortal gate slammed shut.

Zhang Xuan looked back and saw that the nine divine dragons on the Nine Dragon Wall, which were originally solid and lifelike, had turned back into hazy phantoms the moment the door closed, as if they had never been awakened.

“As expected,” Zhang Xuan said thoughtfully. “Every time the Immortal Gate is opened, the Nine Dragons need to be solidified again. This Immortal Gate is both a passage and a test.”

"Everyone should go back and heal their wounds and process what they've learned."

Jiao'er made a decisive move, using her icy blue Daoist aura to sweep everyone away, tearing through the void as she departed.

This time, everyone gained a lot.

If Zhang Xuan refines that drop of Lonely Yang Origin Liquid, the Golden Crow's main stem will completely transform into Lonely Yang True Fire. Once activated, everything within its reach will be plunged into Lonely Yang Annihilation.

Zhang Xuan then gave that wisp of Yin energy to Jiao'er.

If Jiao'er refines her into the Great Dao of Ice Soul, her ice will no longer be merely cold, but will contain the Daoist essence of absolute Yin and extinction.

Where the ice is frozen, life is completely cut off, and even reincarnation cannot intervene.

The other four also each gained something.

You Wuyai needs to refine the illusory and real Dao embryo left behind by the Great Deception of Illusion, and his Supreme Immortal Lotus's Dao of illusory and real transformation will also reach a higher level.

Human Emperor Wei Yuxuan intends to integrate the Netherworld Sun Fire Seed into his Imperial Bloodline to refine it into the Netherworld Emperor True Fire. This fire will possess both the magnificence of the Imperial Way and the eeriness of the Netherworld, causing its power to surge.

After devouring the battle soul, the ninth-tier ancient whale planned to go into seclusion to further comprehend the Battle Intent of Breaking Army, so that the Whale Devouring Divine Power could have an additional aura of conquest and slaughter, and could swallow a million-strong army formation with its mouth.

Although the Celestial Ancestor did not obtain the core treasure, he still extracted several True Immortal-level ghost materials from the coffin fragments. If these materials were refined into his natal treasure, their power would greatly increase.

In the secret realm of the Immortal Gourd Realm, spiritual springs gurgle, exotic flowers bloom, and the rich spiritual energy is almost condensed into liquid.

However, amidst this peaceful scene, there was one place that was unusually lively.

"call out--"

A streak of crimson light shot past at a speed that nearly tore through space, leaving a winding trail in the void.

In the flowing light, a child who looked to be only three years old was holding a dragon-shaped handrail, his little face flushed with excitement, and he kept making sounds.

"Whoosh—boom! Bang bang bang! Watch me drift!"

It was Zhang Xuan's eighty-year-old son.

Several Nascent Soul maidens chased after it desperately, but they could not catch up with the top-grade flying spirit treasure—the Fire Cloud Chariot—which had been pushed to its limit.

"My little ancestor, slow down! Slow down!" A maid was so anxious she was almost crying.

He turned around and made a face, about to speed up, when he suddenly saw a figure walking in the distance, and his eyes lit up: "Daddy!"

He abruptly turned the car around, and a crimson streak of light traced a dangerous arc as it hurtled straight toward Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, but simply raised his hand and pressed down.

An invisible Daoist aura permeated the air, causing the Fire Cloud Chariot to slow down instantly and finally hover three feet in front of him.

The eighty-year-old son jumped out of the car, threw himself into Zhang Xuan's arms, and looked up at him with his big, dark eyes full of pride.

"Father, I've advanced to the Nascent Soul stage!"
