Chapter 0906: Entering the Doumu Immortal Mansion
Long Zhan sensed Huang Long’s gaze and turned to look, but his expression turned puzzled upon seeing Huang Long’s face. By then, Huang Long had already used transformation magic to change his appearance and physique, becoming someone entirely different, so naturally, Long Zhan couldn’t recognize him. Long Zhan’s gaze lingered on Huang Long’s face for a moment before he looked away and, along with the other six disciples of the Panlong clan, vanished into the Doumu Immortal Mansion.
“Brother Huang Long, did you meet an acquaintance? This Long Zhan is an outstanding disciple of the Panlong clan. His status is extraordinary—his father is Long Hai, the eldest elder of the Panlong clan!” Jiang Chen said with deep meaning in his voice.
“Oh, Long Hai, the eldest elder of the Panlong clan?” Huang Long was somewhat surprised.
“That’s right. But it’s said that recently the Panlong clan has become very close to the Heavenly Dao Sect, which has angered the Sacred Lord of Wei Long!” Jiang Chen said as they entered the immortal mansion.
The Sacred Lord of Wei Long was the supreme ruler of the Wei Long Great World and also one of the strongest among those who had achieved the status of Sacred Dragon.
Angered? Huang Long couldn’t help but think of Pangu, the Three Pure Ones, and figures like Quanyin and Jieyin from Buddhism. It seemed that the rulers of the Wei Long Great World, just like those of the Pangu World, were not united.
After entering the Doumu Immortal Mansion, Huang Long and Jiang Chen arrived at a vast square. This square covered hundreds of millions of li in area, which they could instantly discern with their keen eyes.
“There must be many precious treasures around this square. It seems they’ve already been plundered by others!” Jiang Chen frowned.
“It doesn’t matter. What’s most important is to find the core array and take control of it!” Huang Long said.
The Doumu Immortal Mansion was a divine artifact, and all divine artifacts had a core array. By controlling the core array, one could control the entire mansion.
Jiang Chen said, “But finding this core array is difficult!”
The Doumu Immortal Mansion contained tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spaces, with the core array hidden within them. Finding it was extremely challenging.
The two continued flying. After passing through the square, they entered a world filled with swirling snow. The snow fell gracefully from the sky, covering the mountains, forests, and hills of this world. This was one of the spatial worlds within the Doumu Immortal Mansion.
“Hmm, there’s a fluctuation in energy over there. Someone is fighting fiercely. Shall we go take a look?” Jiang Chen asked Huang Long for his opinion.
Huang Long nodded. “Okay!”
So, the two headed toward the source of the energy fluctuation. Hundreds of millions of li away, they saw two groups of people fighting fiercely.
“They’re from the Tianwu Great World and the Wumian Great World!” Jiang Chen was surprised.
The Wumian Great World ranked sixth.
The Tianwu Great World ranked ninth, after the Pangu Great World.
Among Pangu’s three thousand great worlds, the top ten are as follows:
First, the Central Great World; second, the Xuanhuang Great World; third, the Wanmo Great World; fourth, the Weilong Great World; fifth, the Luan Yao Great World; sixth, the Wuliang Great World; seventh, the Xingwang Great World; eighth, the Pangu Great World; ninth, the Tianwu Great World; tenth, the Dou Shen Great World.
Huang Long was also surprised—he didn’t expect it to be the people from the Tianwu Great World and the Wuliang Great World fighting fiercely.
The people from the Tianwu Great World were strong and muscular, with formidable physical strength. They resembled the shaman tribes of the Pangu Great World, but Huang Long noticed some differences—when their strength flowed through their bodies, a kind of demonic aura protected their flesh.
Meanwhile, when the people from the Wuliang Great World attacked, golden rings surrounded their bodies, and their strength was gentle, somewhat similar to Pangu’s Buddhist light, yet different from it. Pangu’s Buddhist light had the power to influence the opponent’s soul, whereas the power of the Wuliang Great World was purely offensive.
“Old Witch Lan, hand over the Taishi Essence Stone, or none of you will get away!” shouted a middle-aged man from the Wuliang Great World.
Huang Long realized that this middle-aged man possessed the cultivation level of the early stages of six eras.
“Hahaha, ridiculous! We were the first to see this Taishi Essence Stone. Wu Zhi, if you keep pestering us, don’t blame us for being ruthless!” laughed a middle-aged woman in a purple robe with brown hair from the Tianwu Great World.
Wu Lan’s strength was roughly on par with Wu Zhi’s, both at the early stages of six eras.
“I never expected the Doumu Immortal Mansion to even have the Taishi Essence Stone!” exclaimed Jiang Chen in amazement.
To upgrade an ordinary Great Dao artifact from lower to middle grade, one not only needs to absorb sufficient Great Dao laws but also over a dozen rare celestial and earthly substances. The Taishi Essence Stone is one of them. Moreover, it is one of the most important materials for crafting the Taishi Divine Pill—the tenth-ranked Great Dao divine pill!
The first ten Great Dao divine pills each possess miraculous effects that can reshape the universe. However, although the Taishi Essence Stone is precious, under normal circumstances, both sides wouldn’t fight so desperately to seize it. That could only mean there are many of them—perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands!
Wu Zhi, frustrated after prolonged fighting, was filled with anger. Both sides had seen the Taishi Essence Stone almost at the same time, but the other side reacted half a step faster and snatched it away.
“This Taishi Essence Stone is huge—it can be cut into over fifty thousand pieces. How hateful!” Wu Zhi seethed with rage.
The strength of both sides was roughly equal. He knew it would be impossible to snatch the Primordial Essence Stone from the other party.
“Let’s go!” Huang Long spoke from afar.
Jiang Chen nodded. Since he knew it was people from the Heavenly Witch Great World and the Boundless World competing for the Primordial Essence Stone, it was better to stay away. The most important thing now was to find the core formation of the Doumu Immortal Mansion.
However, just as Huang Long and Jiang Chen were about to take off, a powerful force suddenly rushed towards them through the air.
“Want to leave? Since you’ve come, die! I can’t get the Primordial Essence Stone, so I’ll kill you to vent my anger!” Then Wu Zhi’s voice came through.
Clearly, Wu Zhi, unable to obtain the Primordial Essence Stone from Wu Lan and the others, took his anger out on Huang Long and Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen’s expression changed abruptly. His entire body flashed with light, surrounded by streams of red energy columns, while layers of purple-black mist covered his eyes. Two beams of light shot out from them.
At the same time, Huang Long also acted, throwing his fists forward.
With a loud boom, both Huang Long and Jiang Chen were pushed back.
As soon as they were pushed back, five figures appeared before them in a flash—Wu Zhi and the others from the Boundless World.
“Oh, the Golden Dragon Clan, the Blood-Red Demon Eye Ox Clan?!” Wu Zhi said, looking at Huang Long and Jiang Chen. Clearly, he thought Huang Long was a strong member of the Golden Dragon Clan from the Mighty Dragon Clan.
The Golden Dragon Clan was also one of the powerful dragon clans in the Mighty Dragon Clan, roughly on par with the Coiling Dragon Clan.
“What do you mean?!” Jiang Chen glared angrily. Anyone would be furious at being attacked without reason. Although he had deflected Wu Zhi’s attack earlier, he had already suffered some light injuries.
The gap between six era-powerful warriors and five was too large. If it weren’t for Huang Long intervening at the same time, his injuries would have been much worse.
Wu Zhi sneered, “What do I mean?! Since you’re from the Golden Dragon Clan and the Blood-Red Demon Eye Ox Clan, out of respect for our clans, if you can take one more punch from me, I’ll let you go and spare your lives. If not, well, you can only blame yourselves for being unlucky and running into me when I’m in a bad mood!”
