As night fell, the four of them sat around the bonfire. Xu Ziyang’s face was solemn as he said:

“Something was off today. Normally, only ordinary Iron Yue can be found on the outskirts of the Immortal Swamp, and as you go deeper, you encounter Copper Yue, Silver Yue, and Golden Yue only exist in the deepest part of the swamp. Under normal circumstances, their territories don’t change much.”

“So what happened today…” Shang Ziliang was puzzled.

“Yes, today we encountered both Copper Yue and Iron Yue at the same time, which is a rare occurrence.” Xu Ziyang’s brows furrowed,

“In the past, only when a Disaster Yue was born, the Yue inside would flee out of innate fear. The massive influx of ferocious Yue into the outside world is one of the destructive effects of the birth of a Disaster Yue.” A Disaster Yue was absolutely extraordinary.

It had the strength equivalent to the seventh realm. Although there were many experts in the seventh realm in the nine heavens and ten earths, no matter which sect or even demons and evil spirits, once they reached that realm, they were all restrained.

They had to follow certain rules, whether they were righteous or evil, they were all orderly. But Disaster Yue was different. It was born for slaughter, its only desire was to harvest the lifeblood of living beings.

Such a reckless seventh realm creature, just one could cause massive damage. The destruction of cities and nations was only a matter of time!

“But a Disaster Yue appeared just two hundred years ago, logically speaking, such a short time is not enough to breed a new Disaster Yue.” Xu Ziyang added.

As the team leader this time, he had to be responsible for the safety of the other three, so he had a lot to consider.

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence?” Shang Ziliang laughed:

“We didn’t encounter any more after that, did we?”

“Let’s wait and see. If we confirm that there are signs of Yue escaping from the depths, we will return immediately.” Xu Ziyang decisively said.

If a Golden Yue came to the outskirts, he might not be able to handle it.

“But don’t we always have to go through the Immortal Swamp if we want to find the Ascension Grass?” Chu Liang asked in confusion.

He had been curious about this during the day.

“No need.” Chen Su explained for Xu Ziyang:

“The Ascension Grass is very different from other heavenly treasures. Usually, spiritual plants have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm, they will grow away from human traces and develop their own protections. But Ascension Grass is the opposite, if it exists, it will move towards human energy. If there is any, we don’t need to go deep into the Immortal Swamp, we just need to circle around the outskirts, and it will come to us.”

“The Ascension Grass can move? And it actively approaches humans?” Shang Ziliang was also somewhat surprised,

“This is just like…”

“Just like it’s specifically for people to eat.” Chu Liang added.

“Correct.” Chen Su nodded lightly,

“The Ascension Grass nourishes the surrounding plants and helps people refine the Golden Elixir. It is the kindest of all heavenly treasures.”

“Indeed.” Chu Liang agreed. In that case, they should give the Ascension Grass a banner of honor. After a brief conversation, Xu Ziyang pointed to the Golden Winged Eagle next to him,

“I will be on guard tonight, you three take turns to rest, every hour one of you will stay up with me.”

“Hehe, I don’t need to rest!” Shang Ziliang finally found an opportunity to show off, immediately slapped his chest and loudly said:

“Brother Xu, I will stay up with you all night.”

“No.” Xu Ziyang shook his head indifferently and refused, then warned sternly:

“You are still in the realm of divine consciousness, if you don’t rest for a long time, your spirit will be depleted. If we were on Shu Mountain, it wouldn’t matter, but in this dangerous place, you must always keep yourself in peak condition!” Shang Ziliang’s flattery backfired, and he quickly agreed in embarrassment.

But considering his enthusiasm, he still managed to be the first one to stay up with Xu Ziyang. Shang Ziliang couldn’t help but feel a little excited, secretly planning how to take the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with his uncle, and let him “accidentally” recognize his shining points. On the other side, the Golden Winged Eagle crouched down with its claws, its wings slightly spread, its huge body propped up a large space, enough to shelter dozens of people to rest.

And with the protection of the Golden Winged Eagle, there was no need for extra vigilance. Xu Ziyang’s rotation was mostly for the purpose of training.

Chen Su and Chu Liang temporarily went to the two sides, leaving Shang Ziliang and Xu Ziyang to sit on guard on each side.

Under the protection of the Golden Winged Eagle’s wings, Chu Liang felt a strong sense of security. At the same time, he was thinking that this was a new use for a spirit beast.

In the future, if he went out into the wild, could he sleep next to Jin Mao at night? On second thought, it wouldn’t work.

With its big head snoring loudly and its breath stinking, it would be too hard to fall asleep next to it. He might even be crushed to death by it turning over in its sleep, which would be a bad deal.

The wilderness was quiet. Chu Liang didn’t fall asleep immediately, but sank his consciousness and entered the White Tower. He planned to reward himself a little while they weren’t paying attention.

Inside the White Tower, the smoke from the big-headed doll was overflowing, almost filling the entire space. The phantom of the Copper Yue was quietly imprisoned there, their joys and sorrows were vastly different.

Chu Liang walked up and pressed the “Refine” button without hesitation. Boom— A flash of light, a thin white light floated out. [Copper Yue Symbol]: Allows the user to gain the power of Copper Yue, possessing an equally hard body, powerful strength, and increased agility, lasting for one hour.

A Yue symbol? Chu Liang had been studying the “True Explanation of Symbols” recently. After understanding all the basic symbols, he also started to touch some complex symbols.

As far as he knew, there was never a symbol named after Yue in the entire cultivation world. Sometimes he wondered, where did all these things in the White Tower come from?Could it be that it, like me, doesn’t belong to this world? The function of this talisman seems straightforward, it grants the user the strength, speed, and defense of a Bronze Yue.

Compared to the Spirit Cat Leap talisman that Chu Liang obtained earlier, this can be said to be an all-round enhancement. Moreover, the Bronze Yue talisman… this can’t help but make one’s thoughts wander.

If I kill a Golden Yue in the future, will there be a Golden Yue talisman? If I kill a Disaster Yue…

“Huh?” As he was lost in thought, a distant noise snapped him back to reality. Chu Liang quickly stood up.

Before he could fully stand, Xu Ziyang had already leapt up, shouting:

“Yue incoming!” The Golden Winged Eagle stood tall, spreading its wings. These wings were not only its means of flight but also its sharpest weapon!

Almost invincible! Shang Ziliang and Chen Su also stood up in alert. Then, they saw several dark figures darting from both sides, Bronze Yue, Iron Yue, all present. The sound of the wind breaking was incessant, but they didn’t attack them, they just flew past them from both sides!

“Eh?” The three cultivators were somewhat puzzled at first, after all, Yue had a natural desire for blood, so why didn’t they attack when they were so close?

But Xu Ziyang’s expression changed immediately upon seeing this!

“Only a higher-ranked Yue can make them ignore the attraction of blood.” He shouted:

“There must be something wrong here, get on the Golden Winged Eagle, we’re leaving Xianren Ze!” The Golden Winged Eagle’s feathers stood on end, like a forest of swords, its sharp eyes piercing the darkness of the distant sky!

Hostility was evident. Whoosh—In the next moment, a golden light came streaking from there!

“It’s a Golden Yue! Get them out of here now!” Xu Ziyang only had time to shout before he summoned his flying sword to meet it!

A Golden Yue, equivalent to a sixth realm strength, had suddenly appeared here!

“Roar!” The Golden Winged Eagle immediately responded with a long cry, its claws gripping Chu Liang and Chen Su, ready to take off!

Shang Ziliang was a bit further away, trying desperately to catch up, but once the Golden Winged Eagle took off, how could he catch up?

So the Golden Winged Eagle paused slightly, waiting for him to climb on. But just as it paused, there was a loud noise from the side, and Xu Ziyang’s figure was sent flying back!

Boom—It turned out that when the golden light flew from the distant sky, Xu Ziyang summoned his sword, and with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a surging Heavenly Sword Art!

Facing a life-and-death enemy, there was no probing, he started with a full attack! The Heavenly Sword Art he used was even stronger than what Jiang Yuebai had used that day, after all, he was already at the fifth realm.

A giant sword light, more than ten meters long, was seen slashing down at the incoming golden light!

Then they collided! The violent explosion wave spread out, shattering the Heavenly Sword Art, and Xu Ziyang was sent flying dozens of meters away!

And Shang Ziliang, who was closer, was also knocked over! He rolled a few times before stopping. Whoosh—But just a moment’s pause, and the golden light burst out again, flying towards the Golden Winged Eagle!

The previous explosion had not caused any damage. It seemed to know that only the Golden Winged Eagle could outrun it, and as long as it dealt with it first, none of these people could escape!

“Golden Winged Eagle, run!” Xu Ziyang ordered without hesitation. If he were the only one left, he might have a chance to escape.

But if several cultivators and he were left behind at the same time, they would become a burden, and they might all die together!

The speed and strength of this Golden Yue were simply unimaginable, always leaving a residual shadow, no one could see its body clearly.

The Golden Winged Eagle took the command and rose, shooting off like an arrow, turning into a golden light! And Shang Ziliang on the ground got up and chased wildly, like a wild dog off its leash, shouting:

“Hey! I haven’t gotten on the eagle yet!”
