After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

When the cave was fully revealed to the public, all the cultivators rushed inside, afraid that if they were slower than others, they would miss out on the treasure.

Xu Qingman and her husband also stepped into the cave. By this time, everyone doubted that this was not the birthplace of any rare treasure at all, but rather the cave dwelling of some ancient cultivator.

Because they had already discovered traces of an array at the cave entrance, there must have been a concealment array before, but after a long period of time, the array lost its effectiveness and was fully exposed to the public.

After walking a little further in, they discovered the skeleton sitting cross-legged on a futon, which further confirmed their previous suspicions. This was indeed the cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator.

Upon reaching the innermost part, they discovered that the group of cultivators walking ahead were all surrounding a stone platform that was over ten meters high.

At this moment, the center of the stone platform radiated light, and it was only vaguely visible that something was enveloped in light, shimmering with a precious glow.

So it seems that the colorful glow we saw outside earlier must have seeped out from here.

Although it is not yet certain what kind of treasure this is, judging from the intensity of its light, it is at least a Heaven-rank spiritual artifact.

Of course, it could also be a celestial artifact, but we'll only know once it's fully revealed.

All the cultivators present were eager to get their hands on the treasure. Some of the more impatient ones even flew directly towards the stone platform.

They flew fast, but others struck even faster. Before they even reached the vicinity of the stone platform, more than a dozen people had already lost their lives to the swords of others.

After a fierce struggle, several people finally managed to reach the stone platform.

Unexpectedly, the moment they reached into that radiant light, their entire bodies were torn to shreds by the spiritual energy within.

In the blink of an eye, all of them turned into dust and scattered between heaven and earth, and even Wu Ying did not escape.

It was terrifying. All the cultivators were so frightened that they unconsciously retreated, and those who were about to rush in also stopped.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what to do next.

Xu Qingman and the other woman also turned pale, secretly relieved that because there were many high-level cultivators present this time, they could not find an opportunity to use their invisibility talismans to sneak up.

Suddenly, the head of the Long family shouted excitedly, "A celestial artifact! This is definitely a celestial artifact! Only before a celestial artifact is created will it naturally form a series of killing formations around it."

According to my son, their Cloud Shadow Sect's immortal artifact was like this even before it appeared; its aura was exceptionally terrifying, and anything that approached it was instantly reduced to ashes.

The Yun family head couldn't help but ask, "The Long family head, according to you, we've come here for nothing today?"

"Haha, how could that be? It will come out on its own when the time comes. We just need to wait patiently."

Seeing that even the Yun family head, who had always been his equal, was coming to ask him questions, the Long family head couldn't suppress his smug expression.

After the head of the Long family explained, everyone quieted down again. Some even started gossiping, as if they weren't the ones who had been at each other's throats just moments before.

"Lord Nangong, I heard that the Hehuan Sect's medicine garden was robbed a few days ago, and all the good spiritual herbs inside disappeared overnight. Did your son tell you that they caught the thieves?"

Upon hearing the Dragon family head's words, those who knew about the matter became excited.

"I've heard about this too. Apparently, the one from the Hehuan Sect was almost driven mad with anger. There was even a Spirit Cleansing Herb he had prepared for his grandson inside, and now it's gone too."

"What's going on? Someone managed to break into the sect and steal spiritual herbs? I just can't believe it. Could it be that someone stole them from within the sect?"

“This time it really isn’t. The entrance to the Hehuan Sect’s medicine garden has always been guarded by the sect leader’s own son. He would never take away the Spirit Cleansing Grass that his own son needs.”

"Yes, that's what everyone says. This time, the Hehuan Sect suffered heavy losses. Not only was the medicine garden destroyed overnight, but even the people who entered the Cloud Sea Secret Realm this time did not come out with many left."

"Yes, I also went to the Cloud Sea Secret Realm this time. It is said that even the only grandson of their Supreme Elder died in there."

The Supreme Elder rushed over that very day, and he was like a madman, suspecting everyone who had survived. If it weren't for the presence of members from the other major sects, he might have gone on a killing spree.

These people spoke with increasing enthusiasm, and the audience grew more and more excited. The members of the Hehuan Sect were not well-liked in the cultivation world; they were known for their domineering, rude, ruthless, and vicious ways.

However, Xu Qingman and her husband became increasingly alarmed as they listened. The incident at the Hehuan Sect's medicine garden was remarkably similar to the mysterious teleportation point they had encountered in the Cloud Sea Secret Realm.

The couple had suspected before that the place might be the medicinal garden of a powerful family or sect.

Just now, someone else said that Lingguo Garden was also robbed, but Yu Jinchen and his daughter were not brought into the garden at that time.

Fortunately, they felt that their parents and grandparents' cultivation levels were too low, and they were afraid that they could not withstand the medicinal power of the Cleansing Spirit Grass, so they had not given it to them yet.

If they've used it, and someone with ulterior motives discovers that they've collectively washed away one of their spiritual roots, wouldn't that be like handing them over as evidence?

It seems that the Cleansing Spirit Herb cannot be used until the cultivation levels of my husband and I are no longer sufficient to contend with those people.

It's alright. Anyway, the latest they can take the Cleansing Spirit Grass is the Nascent Soul stage. It will be at least one or two hundred years before they reach the Nascent Soul stage.

With so much time, the couple is extremely confident that they can cultivate to the Integration Stage, or even the Void Refinement Stage.

Besides, even if it doesn't work out, we can always take the four of them back to Earth. After all, a living person can't be driven to death by a thirsty bladder, can they? We can always come up with a foolproof plan.

"Husband, why is this celestial artifact in the cave of an ancient cultivator? Do you think this cultivator knew about the celestial artifact, which is why he opened his cave in this desolate mountain wilderness?"

Afraid that others would notice her expression, Xu Qingman immediately said these words to change the subject.

As expected of her childhood sweetheart, Yu Jinchen immediately understood her meaning as soon as she spoke, so he replied immediately: "Probably, isn't it said that when a celestial artifact is born, it has to come out on its own?"

“Yes, this fellow Daoist is right. I also suspect that’s the case. Otherwise, this place doesn’t seem to be like the other people’s cave dwellings. It’s too simple. Apart from the futon he’s on, there’s nothing else.”

As soon as Yu Jinchen finished speaking, the Nascent Soul cultivator next to him also expressed his opinion.

Xu Qingman discovered that, apart from cultivation, the people in the cultivation world were no different from ordinary people in other aspects; they loved to gossip and listen to gossip just the same.

Inside the cave, as the cultivators were discussing various secret events in the cultivation world, a loud bang suddenly came from the stone platform. If these people hadn't all possessed cultivation, their ears would have been deafened.

After the loud bang, a beam of light shot into the sky, and waves of dense spiritual energy formed shockwaves that nearly overturned everyone.

Immediately afterwards, something shot out of the light barrier, like a shooting star, and flew out of the cave at an extremely fast speed.
