A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

"Is this the place?"

A strikingly handsome man hovered in mid-air, looking down below.

The handsome man watched for a while, then suddenly made a grabbing motion in the air, and a large pink hand flew out and slammed down. Just as it was about to hit the ground, a light screen suddenly appeared, followed by bursts of golden light, which destroyed the incoming pink hand.

"The phantom of the golden tower? A powerful metal-elemental restriction? It really is him!"

The handsome man seemed to have confirmed something, a smile spreading across his face. However, his expression quickly changed, and he looked in a certain direction, saying in a deep voice,

"Who goes there? Sneaking around and spying on me?"

"Hold your hand! Fellow Daoist Gu, I know your abilities."

This person was a middle-aged man with a refined appearance and an early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

When Yunlu saw him, she was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Wang. You've changed your body, so I don't recognize you."

This person was none other than Wang Tiangu, whose physical body had been destroyed in Yanjiabao.

After Wang Tiangu's nascent soul escaped, he returned to the Ghost Spirit Sect and quickly found a suitable body to possess. It took him several years to fully adapt to this new body.

Sensing the sarcasm in Yunlu's words, Wang Tiangu replied, "I've come here not to compete with you for any treasure, but to seek revenge! Would you be willing to join forces with me, Fellow Daoist Gu?"

At this point, Wang Tiangu's face contorted with rage. After the battle at Yanjiabao, the Ghost Spirit Sect became a disgrace to the entire cultivation world of Tianluo Kingdom, losing all its prestige. Naturally, Wang Tiangu hated Wen Min and Linghu Patriarch to the core.

However, both of them were mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, making them difficult to deal with. Therefore, he considered recruiting Yunlu to handle them. Yunlu chuckled, however, and wasn't about to be easily fooled.

"Fellow Daoist Wang's wishful thinking is quite clever, but I, Gu, do not want to be used. I am here only to retrieve the treasure and do not want any unforeseen complications."

Seeing Yunlu's unwavering refusal, Wang Tiangu secretly called her an old fox, while also feeling a pang of regret. Yunlu's strength was quite good, ranking among the top in the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

The cooperation talks broke down, and the atmosphere became somber. Yunlu completely ignored Wang Tiangu and kept sending out her divine sense to investigate the strange metal-attribute restriction in front of her.

Wang Tiangu felt the same way. Although he was eager for revenge, he was also very interested in this mysterious restriction that had suddenly appeared.

After a while, Yunlu's expression shifted, as if she had realized something. Wang Tiangu's expression also shifted, and he was about to say something when his face suddenly darkened.

"Old ghost Linghu, now that you're here, why are you hiding?"

An elderly man in yellow robes suddenly appeared. He looked at Wang Tiangu and suddenly laughed, "Who do we have here? Isn't this the renowned Elder Wang of the Ghost Spirit Sect? How does it feel to have a new body, Fellow Daoist Wang?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tiangu was almost driven mad with anger. He barely suppressed the urge to attack immediately and rebuked, "Old ghost Linghu, you and Wenmin ambushed me that day, causing my Ghost Spirit Sect to lose all face. I, Wang, will always settle this score."

Linghu Patriarch might have been somewhat wary of Yunlu, but he showed no fear in front of Wang Tiangu. Instead, he mocked, "What's so brave about a defeated opponent? Wasn't Fellow Daoist Wang's defeat in the battle of Yan Family Fortress enough?"

"you……"

Just as Wang Tiangu was about to utter some harsh words, a beautiful young woman suddenly appeared. She was none other than Wen Min, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Upon Wen Min's appearance, facing two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Wang Tiangu had no choice but to swallow back the harsh words he was about to utter, and instead moved closer to Yun Lu.

Yunlu frowned upon seeing this, but after all, they were the six sects of the Demonic Path, and they naturally couldn't let themselves be looked down upon when facing the six sects of Yue Kingdom.

Yunlu looked at Linghu and Wenmin and asked, "What brings you two here, fellow Daoists?"

Linghu Ancestor glanced at the metal-attribute restriction below and then said, "Does Fellow Daoist Gu not know why we are here? This restriction is quite extraordinary, and what is sealed within is probably not simple either. Does Fellow Daoist Gu intend to hog it all?"

Yunlu chuckled and said, "I do know a little about formations. This restriction is not simple. If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Linghu and Wenmin exchanged a glance and finally couldn't resist trying it out. However, all the spells they cast were easily blocked by the metal-attribute restriction.

At this, the two of them looked rather unpleasant.

The situation froze, and none of the four spoke. After a while, they all looked in a certain direction, where an old man in a green robe flew over with two men in green robes.

The old man was actually a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, while the two green-robed men were both early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, which was truly astonishing.

When Linghu and Wenmin saw the old man, they both frowned, and their expressions turned even more grim when they saw the two men in green robes.

Yunlu the Old Demon watched the show from the sidelines, while Wang Tiangu was secretly delighted.

Linghu said in a deep voice, "So it's Fellow Daoist Dongmen who has arrived. These two green-robed men beside you must be the so-called Five Elements Spiritual Infants."

Dongmen Tu's face showed no smile. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Old ghost Linghu, I haven't settled the score with you for Spirit Beast Mountain yet."

"Hmph! Your Yuling Sect is truly cunning. You actually sent people to infiltrate our seven sects so many years ago. Your scheming is truly deep. If we hadn't discovered it in time, we would probably have been betrayed by the Spirit Beast Mountain long ago."

Dongmen Tu sneered, "All's fair in war, what's the big deal? Fellow Daoist Gu, are you interested in cooperating with me? And this is Fellow Daoist Wang, right? These two destroyed your physical body, don't you plan to take revenge? I wouldn't mind lending a hand."

Wang Tiangu was naturally delighted to hear this, but Yunlu had no interest whatsoever. "Fellow Daoist Dongmen, if I were you, I wouldn't do these things at this critical juncture."

"Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you mean by that?"

"Fellow Daoist Dongmen, do you know who left this metal-attribute restriction?"

Upon hearing this, Linghu and Wenmin immediately perked up their ears to listen, only to hear Yunlu continue...

"This person has a remarkable background. His name is Jin Yuan Sanren! He has the cultivation of the mid-Nascent Soul stage and was once very famous. He was attacked by several Nascent Soul cultivators because he wanted to absorb the essence of female Nascent Soul cultivators. After that, he disappeared without a trace and has not appeared since. Many people speculate that he has passed away in his cave."

Dongmen Tu was greatly surprised upon hearing this, and then said, "Does Fellow Daoist mean... this is the cave dwelling of that Jin Yuan Sanren?"

"It's pretty much true," Yunlu explained. "This Jin Yuan Sanren mainly cultivates a metal-attribute technique called Star Refining Golden Yuan Technique, which is extremely powerful. The fact that he can fight against several Nascent Soul cultivators by himself is a testament to its strength. And according to eyewitnesses, when the cave appeared, a phantom of a giant golden tower was seen."

"Could it be..." Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to have realized something.

Yunlu continued to explain.

"Indeed! That is the most famous imitation of a spiritual treasure by Jin Yuan Sanren—the Spirit-Absorbing Profound Gold Pagoda! It is said that this treasure can absorb the five elements, and its power is astonishing!"

"A replica of Lingbao!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes gleamed with greed!
