Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 978: Chapter 1002: Magical Beasts Mining

Chu Linfeng carefully examined the Jade Scroll and discovered that it introduced some strange phenomena in the Immortal Realm, although it didn’t detail much, two points caught his attention.

One point was that in the Immortal Realm, the strong forces all possess very powerful Magical Treasures, and the display of these treasures mainly relies on one’s Spiritual Power for control. The higher the quality of the treasure, the stronger the spiritual power required, thus leading to greater attack power. Magical Treasures are divided into five grades: Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, Top Grade, and Saint Grade. Even the lowest grade, Lower Grade Treasure, is of Immortal Artifact quality.

However, the number of Magical Treasures is extremely rare, and not all weapons can serve as treasures. This requires a special refining method followed by using Techniques. Often, an Earth Immortal Realm with a powerful treasure in hand can completely kill a Celestial Immortal Realm person, and killing across levels is not uncommon.

Another point is that within the Immortal Realm lies Sky-Spirit Valley. Once one’s power reaches the Immortal Emperor Realm, it’s necessary to ascend to the Divine Realm there. The scroll records more detailed information stating that inside Sky-Spirit Valley, there exist many rare treasures and various top-grade Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures, all left behind by people of the Immortal Emperor Realm who failed to ascend to the Divine Realm.

The Immortal Realm has existed for tens of thousands of years, and the number of those who reached the Immortal Emperor Realm is countless. Many succeeded in ascending, yet numerous also perished. During ascension to the Divine Realm, powerful Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures are needed to resist Celestial Tribulations, making Sky-Spirit Valley a popular place for people in the Immortal Realm to seek treasures.

Entering Sky-Spirit Valley requires a power level of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm to enter because there is strong heavenly pressure there. Ordinary immortals are fundamentally unable to move inside, or they die shortly upon entry.

Apart from the intense pressure, Sky-Spirit Valley also houses terrifying Immortal Beasts, some with strengths reaching the Immortal Emperor level, encountering them usually spells nine deaths and one life. Those who manage to leave Sky-Spirit Valley typically acquire substantial treasures; however, the common scenario is one survives out of every ten who enter.

Despite the danger, many still gamble on luck to enter Sky-Spirit Valley, as achieving success from there can be tremendously rewarding.

Yet, Sky-Spirit Valley has a peculiar phenomenon, a natural barrier at the entrance that can only be broken by those with Immortal Emperor-level strength to enter. This entrance barrier opens once every three years, with no fixed opening times, requiring observation of celestial signs to determine it, and the opening period lasts only three days.

Missing this time means waiting for the next cycle to enter, but exiting does not face this restriction, allowing free access. Many people lie in wait inside Sky-Spirit Valley to rob those exiting of their acquired treasures.

Therefore, the six major forces of the Immortal Realm have established a rule: no one is allowed to linger within a hundred-mile radius of Sky-Spirit Valley’s entrance. If caught, they become wanted targets subject to pursuit by the six major forces.

This Sky-Spirit Valley interests Chu Linfeng, and he hopes to explore it, but he’ll have to wait until his power breaks through the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm first. He believes his luck is consistently good, and entering Sky-Spirit Valley might yield great treasures.

For instance, upon ascending to the Immortal Realm, he unexpectedly encountered a strange elderly man who directly transmitted techniques to him, allowing him to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Although the other party requested fulfillment of his wish, as long as Chu Linfeng’s power is strong, he will certainly accomplish it.

Retracting his Divine Sense, Chu Linfeng smiled and said, "It’s truly challenging to establish oneself in the Immortal Realm. It seems boosting my power is a necessity. I wonder how many days this technique transmission has taken; I must ask Chu Tong."

"Tong’er, how many days has it been since big brother entered here?"

"Big brother, you’ve been in here for about ten days, yet you haven’t mined a single Immortal Stone. You might not complete the task on time," said Chu Tong.

"I’m aware of that. Completing the task is simple enough—I have plenty of Lower Grade Immortal Stones and can just take them out when needed. However, during this period, I should extract some waste minerals; otherwise, people will become suspicious," said Chu Linfeng.

"Big brother, you’re not thinking of having Tong’er do this laborious task, are you? I’m still a child," Chu Tong responded immediately.

Indeed, Chu Linfeng had that intention, yet now that he was discovered, he was too embarrassed to mention it further. "How could I let you mine, big brother was only joking. Just pay attention to the timing when entering the mine; don’t worry about the rest."

"That’s better to hear. If I were mining, I fear I might destroy the entire mine shaft, and being buried inside wouldn’t be pleasant," Chu Tong chuckled.

Chu Linfeng chuckled awkwardly before checking on the situation of the Golden Demon Vulture, and found that both the Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying had awakened, so he immediately summoned them to his presence.

"Big brother, boss!" they exclaimed upon seeing Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng took the tool for mining Immortal Stones from the Storage Belt given by the guards and instructed, "You two help me mine Immortal Stones. These stones are certainly hard to come by, just pile up some waste minerals. Remember, don’t exert too much force; the mine can’t withstand your antics."

The two were momentarily stunned, Xiaoying said gloomily, "Big brother, you have us mining Immortal Stones, what will you do?"

"I plan to advance my realm to the late-stage Celestial Immortal Realm during this period, so it’ll be hard work for you. Don’t tell me you won’t agree, or I’ll get angry," said Chu Linfeng.

They were visibly displeased, but grudgingly went to mine Immortal Stones. Shortly after, the sound of clinking was heard from the cave, with their occasional complaints echoing.

Chu Linfeng took out Upper Grade Immortal Stones and began absorbing them for a breakthrough. This requires powerful Immortal Spirit Power, and ordinary Middle Grade and Lower Grade Immortal Stones didn’t interest him. He had an ample supply from Shangguan Luoyang’s Storage Ring and the old Mine Master here, so he didn’t worry about running out of stones.

Time flew by quickly, and twenty days had passed in no time. Chu Tong woke up Chu Linfeng, who was absorbing Immortal Stones, saying, "Big brother, time’s up, you need to go out and submit the Immortal Stones."

Chu Linfeng stood up and examined the mining site where the Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying were working. That sight nearly made him fall to the ground from shock. These two were natural mining experts; in this waste mine cave, they had extracted nearly a hundred Lower Grade Immortal Stones, and also two Middle Grade Immortal Stones.

Though these stones didn’t catch Chu Linfeng’s eye, extracting so many in a mere twenty days was astonishing, especially the broad tunnels they had created, proving the intensity of their efforts over these past twenty days...
