Chapter 0301: Three of Them?

“Master, is this a top-tier flying immortal artifact?!” Ork Nat exclaimed in astonishment as he stared at the castle-like structure spanning dozens of miles ahead.
No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like a top-tier flying immortal artifact. At first, he thought it was just a castle casually crafted by the master.
Borg, Gusta, Fat Lion, Sky Blue Python Ox, and even Belle, who was with the Yellow Dragon, all nodded in agreement with Ork Nat’s opinion.
The Yellow Dragon smiled indifferently and said, “Then let’s go in and give it a try!” With that, he led the way into the castle.
Seeing this, Borg and the others followed one after another.
The oval-shaped castle was hundreds of meters tall, enclosed, with a circular roof.
Once Borg and the others entered, the Yellow Dragon chanted a spell to activate the magic array within. The top-tier flying immortal artifact castle trembled violently before rising high into the air. In an instant, with a whoosh, as if space itself were being torn apart, the castle was already thousands of miles away!
The wind howled fiercely, the landscape stretched endlessly, and forests and mountains receded rapidly.
Inside the castle, Borg and the others stared in shock at the outside scene.
Testing this modified top-tier flying immortal artifact for the first time, its speed surprised even the Yellow Dragon. It was about ten times faster than when he transformed into his dragon form!
At such a speed, it would only take a little over ten days to travel from Taiyi Peak to the Ancient Forest.
After testing the speed of this top-tier flying immortal artifact castle, the Yellow Dragon immediately gave orders to the Black Iron Twelve Peaks. He then flew to the Ancient Forest along with Borg and his twenty-four companions.
Inside the castle, everything was available—alchemy rooms, artifact-forging rooms, and even a giant arena in the center.
While flying through the air, the Yellow Dragon would sometimes teach Borg and the others secrets of artifact forging and alchemy, or let them fight each other in the arena to enhance their understanding of the laws.
…
“Saxon brothers, this top-tier flying artifact is truly fast—about twice as fast as those used by the Lord God’s army for escort. Our family has one, but our ancestors have always treasured it and rarely used it!” Grover said with admiration as he sat inside the flying artifact.
Grover was a direct descendant of the Ferdinand family in the Netherworld and served as a brigade commander in the Lord God’s army.
Although the Ferdinand family wasn’t one of the six major families in the Netherworld, it was still among the top thirty largest families there.
“Of course. I won’t claim anything else, but I’m sure that in the entire Netherworld, there aren’t more than three flying artifacts faster than this!” Saxon said proudly.

Saxton was a direct descendant of the Beccar family, one of the six major families in the Underworld. This time, the Beccar and Ferdinand families learned that a Chaos Primordial Beast had appeared in the Ancient Forest. Seizing this opportunity, he vowed before his father to go to the Ancient Forest to capture it, and after much effort, he obtained a flying artifact from his father to use as a substitute.

Saxton’s father, Woodlo, was the current head of the Beccar family. Anlise from the Beccar family, who was once in love with the Dragon God Angus, was Saxton’s sister.

The Beccar and Ferdinand families had had a lasting friendship for trillions of years. Grover was his good friend, but he was still happy to show off a bit in front of him.

Yet, just as he was full of pride, he immediately lost it. Because he saw something shaped like a castle zipping past him from behind and even overtaking them! In the blink of an eye, it left them far behind. Eventually, that castle turned into a black dot and disappeared from their sight.

Grover sat there, stunned as well.

“Bro, could that be one of those three?” Grover finally realized after a long while.

Saxton had said that in the Underworld, there were no more than three artifacts that could surpass these flying artifacts. How coincidental—had they encountered one right now?!

Saxton looked awkward. “It must be one of those three. It could very well be the flying artifacts treasured by the five major families—Runing, Terrence, Stanny, Demos, and Gibran.” At that moment, Saxton seemed to remember something and looked strange. “Strange… When did such flying artifacts appear in the Underworld? A flat, oval-shaped castle? Could it be something developed by the Runing family recently?”

In the Underworld, flying artifacts usually had a rectangular shape and were fixed in form. The front end of a flying artifact was oval-shaped, which reduced wind resistance during flight. Moreover, the shape of a flying artifact was related to its internal structure, and its appearance couldn’t be changed arbitrarily.

But today, Saxton had seen one with a flat, oval shape?!

Grover’s expression wasn’t much better than Saxton’s. After a long while, he slowly said, “That’s so cool, bro. If I could buy such a flying artifact, I’d spend ten trillion!” His eyes were filled with fervor.

“Go ahead, stop daydreaming! Ten trillion? If I could buy it for one trillion, I’d pay right now!” Saxton laughed. “That flying artifact, I think, is almost as fast as a Level 7 Underworld King! With one of those, who could catch up to anyone weaker than a Level 7 Underworld King?!”

Grover smiled and said, “I was just talking.”
A flying artifact like this couldn’t be purchased with just ordinary divine stones.
“Judging from the direction, this castle’s flying artifact seems to be heading toward the Ancient Forest too. Could it also be for the Chaos Primordial Beast?” Saxton mused after a while.
“If that’s the case, it’s quite possible. Could the information have leaked?” Grover pondered.
“Never mind. Anyway, we don’t necessarily have to capture that Chaos Primordial Beast. Even if we can’t, let’s treat it as a trip.” Saxton said nonchalantly after a while.
Although the Chaos Primordial Beast was rare, it wasn’t that crucial for super families in the Netherworld like the BeKalerr family.
It grew extremely slowly and required consuming certain exotic fruits or rare metals to a certain extent in order to evolve. In the divine plane, it usually took billions of years to reach the level of a high-ranking god, equivalent to a Level 7 Nether King warrior. But at most, it was only at that level. In the Netherworld, no mature Chaos Primordial Beast equivalent to a Level 8 or even Level 9 Nether King warrior had ever appeared.
As for why, no one knew.
There were many high-ranking Level 7 Nether King warriors like those from the BeKalerr family, so they weren’t rare. People like Saxton and Grover themselves were already Level 7 Nether King warriors.
Grover nodded.
Of course, the flying artifact castle that surpassed the one ridden by Saxton and Grover must be the flying immortal artifact ridden by Huang Long and the others.
“Young master, that seems to be the BeKalerr family’s flying artifact!” Bogue exclaimed in surprise as they passed by the flying artifact ridden by Saxton and the others.
Generally, the flying artifacts owned by the Six Great Families and the main god armies had their respective family insignias marked on their surfaces. The flying artifact they saw earlier had the BeKalerr family’s insignia.
However, those who could ride a family’s flying artifact must hold a very high status within the family.
“The BeKalerr family,” Huang Long nodded, then recalling his promise to the Dragon God Angus back in the Hengyuan Plane.
The BeKalerr family’s headquarters was located on thetheCanghai Continent (The BeKalerr family’s headquarters was located on theCanghai Continent, but not in the Sacred Literature Mansion, but in) Continent, but not in the Sacred Literature Mansion,but in the Val Mansion.
There were three other mansions between the Val Mansion and the Sacred Literature Mansion, so the distance wasn’t short.
“I’ll go to the Val Mansion once I reach the Golden Immortal level and have time,” Huang Long thought to himself.
More than ten days later, Huang Long and the others arrived at the edge of the Ancient Forest using the flying immortal artifact.
With such rapid flight and the magic arrays operating inside, the amount of spirit crystal stones consumed was astonishing. In just over ten days, they used more than ten thousand spirit crystal stones, worth one hundred million divine stones!

Thus, even ordinary small families or factions that acquired these flying divine artifacts found it difficult to sustain them. After controlling the flying immortal artifact to land on the ground of the Ancient Forest, Huang Long and the others disembarked. Just like during their last hunt for primal beasts, they divided into six groups of four, with Huang Long acting alone. They agreed to meet back here after two years. According to Huang Long’s calculations, in those two years, the primal beasts hunted would fill everyone’s space rings. After parting, Huang Long used Wind Teleportation to drift toward the Ancient Forest like a gust of wind. Last time, over the course of two years, Huang Long and his group earned more than 20 billion divine stones. So, what about this time? In his past life as Pangu, Huang Long was known as the “Three-Nothing Taoist.” This time, he aimed to become a Taoist with divine artifacts, disciples, and mounts! As for divine artifacts, Huang Long already had enough. As for mounts, the Sky Blue Python Ox was no longer suitable—although it had reached the rank of lower god, it could not keep up with Huang Long’s current strength. For this trip to the Ancient Forest, he planned to find a suitable mount as well. As for disciples, Huang Long intended to establish the Dragon Gate after unifying the Dragon Mountain Range and gradually develop his own faction. Unify the Dragon Mountain Range! The last obstacle was Ice Jade Peak and Hebrew! According to Huang Long’s estimates, by continuing to hunt primal beasts in the Ancient Forest and practicing in this way, his strength would soon reach the peak of Heavenly Immortals, or even possibly reach the level of Golden Immortals. Then, he would kill Hebrew! One month passed. Two months passed. Gradually, one and a half years had gone by. During these one and a half years, Huang Long kept hunting primal beasts and used the Netherworld Divine Tree to convert primal beast crystals into pure energy to refine himself. His immortal essence grew stronger, and his magical power increased month by month. Inside the Five Pits Divine Cauldron, over two million primal beast bodies were piled up again. This time, Huang Long did not hunt some of the mutated primal beasts. If he could subdue them, he would do so using the method of imprinting his divine consciousness. Although there were not many of these mutated primal beasts, after one and a half years, more than a thousand of them had gathered inside the Immortal Pavilion. Although these over a thousand mutated primal beasts were only at the first to third levels of lower gods, they still represented a significant force. These mutated primal beasts could launch soul attacks. However, since Huang Long had not found a suitable mount yet, he had no choice but to head back.
