Cultivating To Immortality
Chapter 375: Robbery In Daylight
Days passed, and soon it was the sixth day. Fang Hong was still searching for treasures in the mountain forest.
However, his luck seemed to be poor these past few days, and Fang Hong hadn’t found any significant treasures.
His only harvest was hunting twenty Peak Golden Immortal Demon Beasts, feeding them to his demon gourd, and refining them into twenty excellent Immortal Pills.
During this time, Fang Hong also encountered many Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm Demon Beasts.
Each of those Demon Beasts had a powerful aura. Every time he saw them, Fang Hong didn’t dare to linger for a moment, immediately using his Void Secret Technique to slip away.
He didn’t want to provoke these high-level Demonic Beasts; it would be a thankless task.
Moreover, with Fang Hong’s Void Secret Technique, as long as he wanted to leave, those Demon Beasts couldn’t catch him, unless those Demon Beasts also mastered the Void Secret Technique.
Aside from the occasional Demon Beast, Fang Hong didn’t encounter any natural disasters these past few days.
After all, he had been very careful and cautious along the way, always scouting the surrounding environment before entering any new area to avoid potentially dangerous zones.
Additionally, he hadn’t encountered any Cultivators from other sects, likely because everyone was busy searching for treasures and scattered in different parts of the mountain forest.
At this moment, Fang Hong stood at the edge of a cave, his brows slightly furrowed, an expression of surprise on his face.
He had only just passed by here when he sensed a special aura, which led him to this cave.
The cave appeared very deep, about three to four zhang in length and width.
The rocks at the edge of the cave entrance were scorched black, clearly having been burned by some kind of power.
The interior of the cave was filled with a large amount of purple lightning.
Streaks of lightning darted through the cave, emitting sizzling sounds, with electric lights flashing; the entire cave was like a pool of lightning.
Moreover, the power of this purple lightning was quite formidable. Even with Fang Hong standing at the entrance, he could feel a strong sense of danger.
This aura was far more potent than the Nirvana Divine Thunder he cultivated himself.
Fang Hong could even feel that if he were carelessly struck by this purple lightning, even with his Peak Golden Immortal cultivation, he would be severely injured.
Fang Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then two golden lights flashed from his eyes as he cast the fifth-grade Immortal Art, Immortal Eye Technique.
This Immortal Eye Technique could detect hidden objects, and Fang Hong intended to use it to investigate the bottom of the cave.
These purple lightning bolts couldn’t appear here for no reason; there must be some treasure hidden at the bottom of the cave to trigger such powerful lightning.
As expected, under the effect of the Immortal Eye Technique, the scene at the bottom of the cave clearly appeared before Fang Hong’s eyes.
He saw a purple crystal, about one zhang in size, placed in the center of the cave’s bottom.
The surface of the purple crystal was smooth and translucent throughout. The purple lightning within the cave was emanating from this crystal.
Every bolt of lightning that surged from the crystal caused the surrounding space to vibrate slightly.
"Crystal? Purple Divine Thunder? Could this be the legendary Meteorite Divine Thunder?"
Upon seeing this purple crystal, a surge of joy immediately rose in Fang Hong’s heart.
He had once read about the Meteorite Divine Thunder in ancient texts of the sect.
The ancient texts stated that meteorites from outside the heavens would pass through the realm barrier during their descent.
And within the realm barrier existed powerful Divine Thunder, which would destroy most meteorites.
However, a small number of special meteorites not only avoided destruction by the Divine Thunder but instead absorbed a large amount of its power, eventually forming precious Thunder Crystals.
The Thunder Crystal was that purple crystal, and the Divine Thunder born from the Thunder Crystal was called Meteorite Divine Thunder.
The power of this Divine Thunder was extremely strong, even far more powerful than some Heavenly Thunders. If one could refine it, it would greatly assist in increasing one’s strength.
The more Fang Hong thought about it, the more excited he became. If he could refine this Thunder Crystal, another law meridian in his body could be condensed.
Not only that, but the Thunder Crystal was also a valuable artifact refining Material.
Fang Hong had previously been troubled about upgrading the seventy-two nirvana divine thunder swords in his body.
Now with the Thunder Crystal, combined with the purple gold fruit tree he obtained a few days ago, it would be perfect for upgrading the nirvana divine thunder swords.
By then, his nirvana divine thunder swords would once again reveal their sharpness.
Fang Hong composed himself and began to consider how to retrieve this Thunder Crystal.
He dared not rashly enter the cave, as the Meteorite Divine Thunder inside was too violent, and danger was inevitable.
Soon, Fang Hong had an idea and immediately cast his Void Secret Technique.
He lightly tapped the Void realm towards the cave, and a teleportation gate opened at the bottom of the cave.
Immediately after, Fang Hong cast several space restrictions towards the Thunder Crystal, firmly enveloping the Thunder Crystal within them.
No matter how the surrounding Divine Thunder raged, it could not break through the restrictions.
After the restrictions were set, Fang Hong opened another teleportation gate beside himself.
These two teleportation gates were interconnected, forming a spatial aisle.
Fang Hong waved his hand towards the teleportation gate at the bottom of the cave, and the Thunder Crystal, enveloped by the restrictions, floated out along the aisle, easily retrieved by him from the bottom of the cave.
Fang Hong joyfully stored the Thunder Crystal into his years pearl space, planning to deal with it slowly in a safe place after leaving the Treasure Realm.
Fang Hong was about to leave this place and search for the next potential treasure location.
Whoosh.
Just then, a scorching fiery light suddenly shot from afar at extreme speed, carrying a fierce aura, directly aimed at Fang Hong’s back.
Fortunately, Fang Hong had always maintained his vigilance. After sensing the danger behind him, he reacted extremely quickly, his body suddenly flashing to the side, dodging the sneak attack.
The fiery light landed on a rock not far away, instantly burning a large hole in the rock.
Fang Hong stood firm, his expression instantly becoming serious.
He looked in the direction from which the fiery light came, only to see a red shadow rapidly flying from afar.
The shadow moved extremely fast, arriving not far in front of him in the blink of an eye.
When he clearly saw the appearance of the newcomer, a trace of surprise flashed in Fang Hong’s eyes, and he muttered with slight astonishment, "It’s actually him." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
The newcomer was none other than Ye Cheng, the number one Inner disciple of the same sect as him.
"Fellow Daoist, there was lightning flashing here just now. Was there some treasure?" Ye Cheng scrutinized Fang Hong from top to bottom, asking indifferently.
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I was just capturing a lightning-attribute Demon Beast, but it escaped, which is why there was lightning flashing," Fang Hong replied calmly.
He had not yet removed his Transformation Technique and still maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man, nor was he wearing the Eastern Luo Sect uniform. He estimated that Ye Cheng wouldn’t recognize him as an Eastern Luo Sect disciple.
"So it was a Demon Beast. In that case, Fellow Daoist can leave after leaving your storage artifact." Ye Cheng said confidently, completely disregarding Fang Hong, demanding his storage artifact right away.
