Chapter 618 - 348: Assaulting Divinity Transformation

Inside the magnificent hall.

"...It’s finally over!"

Ling Changqing watched the magical power projection before him as the last group of Cultivators was swallowed by an ocean of blood-red lightning. When the Array Restrictions at the Immortal Palace’s entrance sealed shut, he let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Immortal Venerable Doumu, Xue Qingtan, Bai Qingyi, Luo Binghu, Meng Feiyu, Qingsi, and Yu Ruoshuang were all gathered around him—a stunning assembly of dazzling beauties.

"Husband, complete control of this Ancient Immortal Palace is now yours!"

Xue Qingtan, radiant and lovely in her snow-white dress, said with unconcealed excitement.

’With such a blessed land, the family will now have the most solid foundation for its rise. Becoming a truly great and renowned power in this realm is just a matter of time.’

"Yes. In the future, we can secretly bring a group of our family’s disciples here for Cultivation in Seclusion. They can use this Spirit Vein Blessed Land to rapidly advance their Cultivation."

Ling Changqing said. ’Such high-quality resources can’t be left to waste. After going to all the trouble of obtaining this Ancient Immortal Mansion, we naturally have to make the most of it.’

’Of course, the same goes for the Hongmeng Divine Hall. Both must be fully utilized to contribute to the family’s growth and power.’

"Husband, what should we do with all these spoils?"

Immortal Venerable Doumu, ethereally beautiful and possessing an innate dignity, asked in a soft voice.

The number of Cultivators who had perished in the Immortal Mansion during this great purge was staggering. Although most of their Magical Treasures, Artifacts, and Storage Magical Artifacts had been damaged in the process, a good number had fortunately survived intact.

All of these items were now Ling Changqing’s spoils of war. Collected and brought back in batches by the Daoist Soldier Puppets, they were now piled into small mountains inside the hall.

"Of course, we’ll sort them and take them back to add to the family’s treasury."

Ling Changqing chuckled. ’Every one of those High Rank Cultivators was incredibly wealthy. I’m sure their belongings won’t disappoint me.’

Xue Qingtan suggested, "In that case, why don’t we all pitch in and start sorting and cataloging everything right here, sisters?"

"Excellent."

Ling Changqing had no objections. After all, opening "blind boxes" was a game that he and his many beautiful companions never tired of.

And so, all the Female Cultivators in the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land mobilized, including his two daughters, Ling Shuanghua and Ling Shuangqin. Even Shui Wan Zhao and Yu Qinghuang of the Celestial Derivation Pavilion were included.

The women each took a pile of Storage Magical Artifacts and began to break the Restrictions on them one by one, taking out all the items inside to be categorized and tallied.

Ling Changqing casually picked up a Storage Ring. With a flash of brilliant light and a soft crackling sound, the Restriction placed upon it crumbled away layer by layer, dissipating into scattering streams of light.

The space inside the Ring was roughly a hundred feet in diameter. It contained piles of Middle Grade and Upper Grade Spirit Stones, two stacks of Rank Four Talismans, a set of Quasi Rank Four Array Banners, a Treasure Level Flying Ship that shimmered with a dark light, several Jade Scrolls glowing with spiritual energy, and a few sets of spare Daoist Robes that were also Magical Artifacts.

"Hey, I found a Supreme Treasure over here!"

His daughter, Ling Shuanghua, as lovely as a painting and radiantly charming, called out in a delighted voice.

She held an ancient silver mirror that pulsed with a golden inner radiance and exuded a formidable pressure. The mirror’s frame was covered with countless profound and intricate patterns.

"That’s a great find. You should keep it."

Ling Changqing chuckled. ’Plundering the fortunes of these Cultivators is a windfall on par with a great fortuitous encounter—perhaps even better.’

Beside him, Ling Shuangqin shot him a playful glare and took a three-foot-long, iridescent Judge’s Brush from her Storage Bracelet. "I found something too."

’It was also a Top Grade Magical Treasure with considerable attack power. It wasn’t very suitable for his daughter to use, but it could be added to the family treasury or even sold.’

With several hundred Female Cultivators working together, their efficiency was naturally incredible. Piles upon piles of Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals of various grades; all sorts of Spirit Medicines and sacred herbs for different purposes; Jade Scrolls containing Cultivation Method Scriptures; Magical Treasures and Artifacts; Talismans, Puppets, and Mechanical Beasts... the loot had everything one could imagine.

Of course, to prevent any hidden Restriction Traps on the Storage Magical Artifacts, Ling Changqing had to inspect each one himself. Only after confirming it was safe would he hand it over for his Dao Companions to work on.

Any particularly dangerous items were handed over to Xue Qingtan and Meng Feiyu for processing. After all, their Cultivation was the highest, and with their memories and experience as Reincarnated Great Powers, they weren’t afraid of any mishaps.

Ling Changqing’s own efficiency was extremely high. Aided by his supreme Destiny, it took him but a single breath to determine if a Storage Magical Artifact was safe before passing it to his beautiful companions to open.

Before long, Ling Bingyun also uncovered a suit of Top grade Treasure Level Soft Armor. The surface of the azure Armor was flecked with dark gold and engraved with numerous fine, flowing Restriction patterns, offering considerable Defense.

She delightedly began the process of refining and binding it to herself. With this, her chances of surviving a life-or-death battle would at least triple.

「Time passed quietly.」

Whenever the Spirit Stones piled up to a certain height, the gentle and charming Qin Yun, serene as still water, would collect them into a dedicated, high-capacity Storage Bracelet and carefully make a record on a Jade Scroll.

Spirit Stones of different grades had to be stored separately, and the same went for all the Magical Treasures, Artifacts, and Talismans.

After ten days and ten nights, the massive "blind box" opening operation finally drew to a close.

When the final tallies were announced, even Bai Qingyi, the former Dragon Race Matriarch who was used to seeing all manner of rare and exotic treasures, was visibly moved.

"Even if we spend extravagantly, this is enough to fund the family’s development for the next two or three hundred years!"

she remarked. And that didn’t even include the vast resources hidden within the Doumu Immortal Palace itself.

The Ling Family could now be considered an established Divinity Transformation power, and they would soon advance to become a great power at the Void Refining Level—on par with, or perhaps even superior to, the Nine Great Cultivation Families of Yuzhou.
