Chapter 1518: Chapter 1515: Mission Begins

If Chen Tianlong successfully refines it, then find an opportunity to seize all his Golden Core. If unsuccessful, eliminate him directly in the Immortal Divine Domain, allowing us to say he died due to unforeseen circumstances during the trial, unbeknownst to gods and ghosts.

One must admit, Master Wuchen is incredibly thorough in his planning, aiming to trap Wu Guangzu and Chen Tianlong, along with others, inside.

However, Chen Tianlong also feels that Master Wuchen will not easily let him off; since helping him into the Otherworld was a conspiracy, then this trial must also be a conspiracy.

Although his timely arrival was unexpected, Chen Tianlong knows this must have been within their conspiracy range; seeing the five people behind Kuang Chenggong unanimously supporting him just now, Chen Tianlong already realized it was predetermined.

"Hmm, let’s start moving forward. The air in here isn’t good, and if we stay too long, there might be problems," Chen Tianlong said with a wry smile, feeling that there’s no need to mention that everyone can sense the air is different here.

The group nodded and began to move deeper inside.

This is the Immortal Divine Domain, and actually, it’s not much different from the outside environment; equally vast and boundless, the only difference being the dense fog here, and everywhere there’s an air of mystery that makes breathing difficult—this is Immortal Qi.

Twelve people began to slowly walk inside, the scenery along the way was like an immortal realm, with mountain mists swirling, even mesmerizing.

Though there were twelve people, they clearly weren’t of one mind.

The materials aren’t easy to find. Before entering the Immortal Divine Domain, Wuchen had handed out a paper clearly describing the materials and their basic properties.

"Qilin Scale?"

Seeing the first material, Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly; obviously, encountering a Qilin is necessary to obtain the scale. But what shocked him more was when he saw the next material: "Divine Dragon Blood?!"

Chen Tianlong really wanted to curse, but with two girls nearby, he held his breath deeply and didn’t continue reading the second area’s materials. He knew it wouldn’t be simple; if following a step-by-step logic, it would surely get more difficult.

"Chen Tianlong, it seems the first task is to obtain Qilin Scales. Where do we go to get them?"

Wu Mengting saw the task list and was stunned; such things aren’t easily obtainable. Qilins are rare Divine Beasts. Not to mention obtaining scales, even encountering one is difficult.

Lucky it’s in the Immortal Divine Domain; in the Mortal Realm, don’t even dream of encountering one.

At this moment, everyone seemed frustrated; the task is indeed perverse, no wonder Master Wuchen didn’t let them go solo, but formed a team of twelve.

Because for such tasks, you can’t possibly complete them alone; cooperation is necessary. Otherwise, one person would be seeking death—never mind the Divine Dragon, just the Qilin alone is trouble.

"Yes, we need to find a Qilin Beast; otherwise, where would Qilin Scales come from," Chen Tianlong said to Mengting, as he was hinting to everyone.

Everyone began to move forward along the somewhat bumpy mountain path.

About half an hour later, most teams had separated and disappeared from each other’s sight.

This was quite normal; even if one found the Qilin Beast, it’s not possible for ten teams to approach together—that would be like trying to strip the Qilin’s skin.

A Qilin Beast is a Spirit Beast at the Celestial Dao seven-star Great Perfection limit; such powerful beasts, once fully angered, the consequences will be unimaginable. So the more people, the more the Qilin feels threatened and would wholeheartedly engage in battle. At that point, no one can get close.

After walking for a long time, everyone was tired, still not seeing any trace of a Qilin Beast.

Li Wei started feeling impatient, cursing: "What kind of place is this? The mountain path is so hard to walk, the weather is so hot, we have been looking for so long and haven’t seen even the shadow of a Qilin; damn it, are we being tricked?"

However, just as Li Wei finished speaking, it felt off because he noticed Kuang Chenggong glaring at him, realizing he had misspoken.

This was understandable; the trial’s head responsible is Master Wuchen, and Li Wei cursing about being conned was akin to cursing at Wuchen. He immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak further.

Wu Guangzu and Chen Tianlong looked up at the sun-shading cliffs; surrounded by endless mountains, the Immortal Qi seemed to grow heavier, everyone easily tired—an effect of Immortal Qi invasion—and a sign of oxygen deficiency.

"Let’s rest a bit, drink some water, and then continue,"

When Chen Tianlong said this, he specifically observed Kuang Chenggong’s expression. At this moment, Kuang Chenggong showed little expression but sat down on a stone by the road with the team.

Li Wei, having realized his earlier mistake, stayed quiet, sitting with his four companions beside Kuang Chenggong.

The weather was indeed too hot, coupled with the overly dense Immortal Qi their sweat kept dripping, heart rate accelerating.

"Kuang, something seems off here; why is it so hot?"

Li Wei was frustrated; although it seemed cloudy, the air was unbearably hot, indeed abnormal.

"Am I a deity? How would I know? Can’t you just sit quietly?" Kuang Chenggong finally lost patience; Li Wei was disastrously counterproductive, unable to stay composed.

"Huh?"

Li Wei was startled by Kuang Chenggong’s words, realizing he must have done something wrong to anger the boss.

"What ’huh!’ Sit tight and later focus hard on finding Golden Core materials," Kuang Chenggong glared at Li Wei and his companions.

Looking at their expressions, Chen Tianlong found it amusing, but knew the situation had been revealed.

They couldn’t pretend any longer, and Chen Tianlong knew they wouldn’t act against him now. The goal this time is to find materials, and if they didn’t have his help, completing the task was unlikely, and thus they wouldn’t obtain the final qualification to enter the Immortal Realm.

During a short rest, suddenly a deafening roar echoed from the vast valley, shocking everyone to nearly sitting down.

"What sound is that, it’s terrifying."

Wu Mengting feared beasts most; hearing it now, it was clearly a giant beast nearby, instantly frightened, she hid behind Chen Tianlong.

Pure Yang Feifei appeared gentle, but wasn’t as afraid of beasts as Wu Mengting—perhaps it was natural. Beside Chen Tianlong frowned, knowing such an event meant something significant would happen.

"Chen Tianlong, it might be the Fire Qilin appearing."

Wu Jun was experienced in major events, though knowing it was dangerous, he wasn’t very afraid.
