Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

The group continued forward and discovered that ahead they were seeing demonic beasts and spirit insects fighting.

Several enormous, golden-armored monsters were ramming their bodies against the mounds of earth on the ground.

Chen Yi stared intently ahead and saw that the mound of earth was more than ten meters high, and its outer shell seemed to be covered with a special material that was very hard.

These several demonic beasts, covered in golden armor, look very similar to the pangolins from my previous life on Earth.

However, they were very large, each four or five meters long and two meters tall. Judging from their aura, they were all second-tier demonic beasts.

At this moment, a continuous stream of spirit insects rushed out of the mound of earth, attacking the golden-armored beasts.

"Everyone be careful, these are Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects," Sun Huo warned.

Countless pale gold, winged spirit insects relentlessly attacked the golden-armored beast. Several distinctive crimson star marks appeared on their wings.

The Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect is a first-tier spirit insect, but it is exceptionally ferocious.

With so many Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects, even Chen Yi and his group had to avoid their attacks.

However, all things have their natural counters, and the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect was helpless against the Golden Armored Beast. The Golden Armored Beast's unique and hard armor could easily withstand the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect's attacks.

Moreover, the Golden Armor Beast's food is the larvae of the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect, which is extremely delicious to them.

Chen Yi secretly watched the battle between the Golden Armor Beast and the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect, his eyes sweeping towards the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect's nest.

Under the fierce attack of the golden-armored beasts, they dug a huge gap in the bottom of the nest.

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed as he noticed many pale golden insect eggs faintly appearing at the opening. A thought struck him: if he could take these eggs back, he could definitely hatch and cultivate many Crimson Star Gold-Devouring Insects.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi immediately turned his head and said:

"Brother Sun, Senior Brother, I'd like to catch some insect eggs, I wonder if that's possible..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Huo immediately looked around and found that the Golden Armored Beast and the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect were locked in fierce combat.

"Junior brother, let me help you," Wu Yifeng said, preparing to unleash a sword formation.

Chen Yi stopped the others, intending to obtain the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect's eggs alone. He greeted the others and stealthily moved forward.

Using the concealment token and the black-robed magical artifact, Chen Yi moved forward silently like a ghost.

Chen Yi stopped just a few dozen meters from the nest of the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect.

He immediately took out the insect-rearing bag and manipulated the fire ants to fly close to the ground towards the insect nest.

A faint silver light flickered on the ground, and the swarm of fire ants rushed to the nest in an instant.

There were still many Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects around, but when they encountered the Iron Fire Ants, they scattered as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

Chen Yi was secretly delighted and immediately controlled the fire ants to start collecting the scattered insect eggs around them.

Unbeknownst to him, if it weren't for the Golden Armored Beast attacking the insect nest, even with the help of the Spirit Insects, the Iron Fire Ants would have suffered a counterattack from the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects.

Under Chen Yi's control, the fire ants were able to collect hundreds of insect eggs immediately.

Chen Yi wasn't greedy; he immediately summoned the swarm of iron fire ants back into the insect-rearing bag. However, the ground began to shake as soon as the swarm had flown halfway there.

Chen Yi felt a chill run down his spine and stepped forward to collect the swarm of fire ants into his insect-rearing bag.

He dodged backward and turned to look to the side.

The reason was simple: Chen Yi sensed a slightly oppressive and chilling aura emanating from not far away. He immediately warned everyone to be careful, and Sun Huo, Wu Yifeng, and the others reacted quickly and retreated.

Just as the group had created some distance between themselves and the insect hive, a powerful demonic aura swept across the entire area.

A huge figure appeared above the nest, its scarlet snake eyes sweeping across the entire area.

Chen Yi's pupils contracted as a huge python appeared on the lair's body.

The python is over thirty meters long, with black scales all over its body, but its back and head are streaked with gold. There are two protrusions on its head, which look like dragon horns from a distance.

Chen Yi immediately recognized the snake demon as the Golden-Patterned Python, which possessed some dragon blood.

"Let's leave this place first; its aura is already close to the late Foundation Establishment stage," Sun Huo warned.

Ignoring the surrounding spirit insects, they immediately piloted their flying magical artifacts and retreated.

Chen Yi jumped onto Wu Yifeng's flying artifact and turned to look behind him.

The golden-striped python coiled its body and charged straight at the golden-armored beasts. The golden-armored beasts, who had been enjoying their meal, immediately began to flee upon seeing the python.

They kept rotating their bodies, using their hard, special golden shells to begin burrowing into the soil.

However, they were not as fast as the Golden-Striped Python, and were quickly caught up by it, leading to a fierce battle.

Chen Yi, Sun Huo, and the others naturally dared not interfere in this battle, and quickly flew forward on their flying magical artifacts.

The Golden-Striped Python is no ordinary demonic beast; it possesses dragon blood and may awaken some special abilities.

After rushing for more than ten miles, the group finally stopped behind a small mountain.

"Brother Sun, Senior Brother, let's rest here for a while," Chen Yi suggested.

Sun Huo nodded slightly and immediately took out an array plate and array flag from his storage bag, setting up an isolation array around him.

Zi Yan, Mu Yuanrong, and Wu Yifeng sat to the side to rest.

Chen Yi checked the situation in the insect rearing bag and placed the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insect eggs in a separate insect rearing bag.

These insect eggs appear to have just hatched; returning to the courtyard allows them to be hatched using the Insect God's blessing.

Sun Huo, meanwhile, was holding a map jade slip, checking the area where the Ink Gold Stone was located.

The entire Golden Cloud Valley covers a vast area, but only a small portion of the mountains contain the Ink Gold Stone.

Moreover, the Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects are scattered throughout the entire Golden Cloud Valley, and there will be many more nests of Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects ahead.

It was noon.

The dazzling sunlight shone down, and the entire Golden Cloud Valley shimmered with golden rays.

The Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects in Golden Cloud Valley were unusually active, with swarms of insects constantly flying overhead.

However, thanks to Sun Huo's array barrier, they were able to isolate themselves from the insect swarm's senses. Chen Yi also set up an illusion array on the outer perimeter to further conceal their presence.

Chen Yi swallowed a few pills and began to sit cross-legged in meditation.

Chen Yi, whose previous injuries had not yet fully healed, began to treat them using the pills given to him by Ruan Yiqiu.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The sun had begun to set, and the sunlight in the sky was not as dazzling as before.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

The wounds on his chest and abdomen have fully healed, but there are still some hidden injuries to his internal organs and meridians.

After seeing Chen Yi wake up, Sun Huo said:

"Brother Chen, let's continue on our way."

"It is safer to stay in Golden Cloud Valley from dusk to midnight."

Chen Yi nodded emphatically and immediately spoke to wake Wu Yifeng, Mu Yuanrong, and the others.

After everyone awoke, they immediately harnessed their flying magical artifacts and flew at low altitude, rushing forward.

Within Golden Cloud Valley, swarms of Crimson Star Gold-Devouring Insects still appear from time to time. Besides these, Golden Cloud Valley is also home to many other demonic beasts.

No one dared to be careless; they would rather slow down than alert the surrounding monsters.

As the sun sets, golden-red sunset clouds appear on the distant horizon.

The swarm of Crimson Star Gold-Eating Insects in Golden Cloud Valley quieted down considerably, and Chen Yi and his group also sped up their pace.

Sun Huo held the map jade slip and looked around, constantly confirming their location.
