550: Go to Tianming Cave!

“Reporting, Master. Your foresight is unparalleled. crew and Mars infiltrated Tianming Grotto-heaven, and after some investigation, crew confirmed that Heavenly Meditation Celestial possesses at least one Divine Beast Relic, and has already collected numerous fragments of Divine Beast Souls.”

Nine-tailed Red Fox stepped forward, bowed, and continued, “Moreover, crew also obtained a piece of information.”

She paused, her expression grave. “It’s not just Heavenly Meditation Celestial who is eyeing the Divine Beast Altar; the powerhouses residing in the Nine Heavens Thundercloud Layer across the eighty-one Divine Provinces are all interested. Furthermore, they’ve even found a loophole in the spatial barrier, allowing them to cross it for secret meetings!”

“What? The people from the eighty-one Divine Provinces are holding a meeting?”

Guo Feng was also greatly startled; this was no small matter. A powerhouse from the Nine Heavens Thundercloud Layer in the Jinghua Spirit Realm was a Nine Rank Profound Immortal.

If people from the eighty-one Divine Provinces gathered, even Guo Feng, as powerful as he was currently, couldn’t withstand them.

He thought for a moment, then asked, “When? Where? And what are the strengths of those participating?”

“They say the meeting is in Tianming Grotto-heaven three days from now. crew haven’t managed to ascertain the specific strengths,” Nine-tailed Red Fox quickly replied.

“Three days from now…”

Guo Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at Nine-tailed Red Fox. “What exactly do they want with the Divine Beast Altar? There must be a specific goal, right?”

“Master, such confidential matters might only be known by Heavenly Meditation Celestial. He is in seclusion, and crew couldn’t get close to him,” Nine-tailed Red Fox answered somewhat nervously.

“Hmm.”

Guo Feng nodded, but he didn’t blame Nine-tailed Red Fox.

However, whatever the other party intended to do, it conflicted with his goals. To deal with these people, there were three options.

Either Guo Feng’s strength made rapid progress in these few days, reaching the Golden Immortal Realm, thereby suppressing everyone.

Or the Nine-tailed Fox recovered to the Golden Immortal Realm.

Or he caused conflict among them, resolving them from within.

However, if he wanted to improve, relying solely on leveling up wouldn’t suffice. Unless Moluoduo produced a few Devil Emperor Puppets, he could handle a single Nine Rank Profound Immortal, but more would be difficult.

But a Devil Emperor Puppet took ten days to refine, so there wasn’t enough time.

And the Nine-tailed Fox recovering to the Golden Immortal Realm also required time.

That left only the latter option: get involved, act according to the situation, or find opportunities to kill or subdue them one by one.

Thinking of this, he looked at Moon: “Have you caught anyone trying to spy on crew these past few days?”

“Reporting, Master, crew caught one Heavenly Immortal and two True Immortals. They have been interrogated. They were sent by a One-Rank Mysterious Immortal from Tianming Grotto-heaven to investigate the situation. However, Tianming Grotto-heaven has been quite busy recently, so they might not have discovered crew’s situation here,” Moon quickly replied.

“Since that’s the case, crew will first go to Tianming Grotto-heaven to investigate thoroughly. It would be best to find an opportunity to subdue Heavenly Meditation Celestial,” Guo Feng said, then recalled Sima Han and others to the first layer of the Haotian Realm.

Then, he led Nine-tailed Red Fox, Mars, and Moon directly to the Nine Heavens Thundercloud Layer.

The Nine Heavens Thundercloud Layer of the Jinghua Spirit Realm was essentially the same as the sky above the Chaos Continent.

Based on the memories he had obtained earlier, he ascended tens of thousands of meters and flew towards Tianming Grotto-heaven.

Before long, he stopped.

Tianming Grotto-heaven, like Water Star Great Immortal’s previous immortal abode, was surrounded by an illusion array, hiding the specific location of the grotto-heaven. Ordinary people wouldn’t notice a grotto-heaven here.

Even if one flew into this illusion array, they would immediately get lost and quickly fly out, unable to reach Tianming Grotto-heaven at all.

For Guo Feng to enter, he either needed a token from Tianming Grotto-heaven or had to forcibly break the array.

However, forcibly breaking the array didn’t align with his requirements, as he wanted to solve the problem from within first.

He raised his hand, and a glowing token, inscribed with ‘Tianming One,’ floated beside him.

This was a low-level token, obtained from those people earlier.

“Let’s go, enter.”

He said, then used the token’s light to envelop the four of them. Guided by Nine-tailed Red Fox, they flew into a patch of Nine Heavens Thunderclouds.

Indeed, with this token, Guo Feng saw a ball of light within the hundreds of kilometers of thunderclouds, and that light was precisely where Tianming Grotto-heaven was located.

Without this token, it would be impossible to find Tianming Grotto-heaven within this illusion array.

They immediately flew towards that light.

After flying for over a hundred kilometers, two figures suddenly flew towards them from ahead.

“Stop, who are you, and how do you have crew’s Tianming Grotto-heaven token?”

Of these two, one was a One-Rank Mysterious Immortal, and the other was a Tenth-Rank Heavenly Immortal, both considered significant figures anywhere.

“Elder Cang Yue, Elder Jing Xin?”

Guo Feng, having carefully read the memories of that Five-Rank True Immortal over the past ten days, naturally recognized these two, and knew that this One-Rank Mysterious Immortal, Elder Cang Yue, was the one who sent people to seize the Divine Beast Soul fragments.

“You know crew?”

Cang Yue and Jing Xin looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion.

Guo Feng smiled, “Of course, crew know you are two of Tianming Grotto-heaven’s Ten Great Elders. You should be going to the lower realm to investigate the matter of the Divine Beast Soul fragments, right?”

“How do you know that?”

Cang Yue and Jing Xin exchanged glances, a sense of vigilance rising in their eyes.

Just as their emotions fluctuated greatly, a flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky, revealing a terrifying figure clad in a black Devil Emperor robe, exuding a terrifying pressure.

“Ah—”

In that instant, the two were so startled by the pressure that their bodies trembled, and infinite fear arose in their hearts.

“Great Heavenly Demon Soul-Devouring Art!”

At that very moment, Guo Feng instantly unleashed hundreds of hand seals, blasting out endless demonic energy that transformed into the Great Heavenly Demon Soul-Devouring Art, which instantly slammed into the two figures.

“Not good—”

An even more terrifying sensation caused despair to appear on the faces of Cang Yue and Jing Xin.

They didn’t even have time to use their Golden Cores or divine abilities before they were invaded by the Great Heavenly Demon Soul-Devouring Art.

In a moment, two clusters of memory light flew out from their foreheads.

And these two, their essence, energy, and spirit dissipated, losing the support of their magical power, and began to fall downwards.

Guo Feng waved his hand, and the memory light clusters entered his sea of consciousness, settling into his memory bookshelf.

The two individuals’ immortal bodies were also directly collected by him into the Tian Mo Tomb and cast into the Great Heavenly Demon Nihility Grand Formation, ground into pure vital energy to feed the billions of Heavenly Demons.

The Heavenly Demons, upon receiving the demonic energy, cheered, and many even underwent fission.

“So that’s how it is. As expected of the Ten Great Elders, their memories are much more complete.”

Guo Feng quickly read these memories, gaining a clearer understanding of Tianming Grotto-heaven.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and two tokens, inscribed with ‘Tianming Four’ and ‘Tianming Five,’ appeared before him, then he threw them to Mars and Moon.

He said, “Tianming Grotto-heaven, besides Heavenly Meditation Celestial, who is a Nine Rank Profound Immortal, also has one Seven-Rank Mysterious Immortal, and one each of Five-Rank, Four-Rank, and Three-Rank. When crew enter later, Mars and Moon, you will deal with the Seven-Rank Mysterious Immortal, and the twelve families will handle the rest. crew will deal with the Nine Rank Profound Immortal! It must be swift and decisive. Let’s go!”

With the memories of these two, he was even more confident.

As he spoke, he led the crew, flying menacingly towards Tianming Grotto-heaven…
