Chapter 708 37: Battle Royale in the Immortal Cave? My Turn! (Part 2)

"We'd better not act alone. Let's first go down the cliff to investigate."

"Since we're here, we can't return empty-handed."

We're already here.

We have to take something out with us anyhow.

The ancient methods of cultivation from the Qin, Han, and Jin dynasties differ from the present. According to the "Immortal Sutra," 'the superior practitioners ascend to the heavens, called Celestial Immortals; the middle ones roam in the famous mountains, called Earth Immortals; the lower ones die and shed their bodies, called Corpse Dissolving Immortals.'

Besides, if mortals wish to become immortals, they should seek famous mountains and rivers, acknowledging Immortals as their masters. During the period when Earth Immortals were popular, many seekers liked to visit Immortal abodes across various regions.

The methods of becoming immortal have always been changing, as well as the cultivation techniques.

However, when Duncan came in, he glimpsed a human-shaped monster covered in green hair, marked as a 'Corpse Dissolving Immortal.' It seems that aside from those ascending the void through ascension, other immortals within the Daoist sects ultimately cannot escape the fate of the "Five Declines of Celestial Beings."

As for the Earth Immortals of the Wei and Jin periods, they should be equivalent to today's legendary Land Immortal realm.

"There is a Corpse Dissolving Immortal here that has somehow turned into a green-haired monster."

"Anyone who encounters it alone will die."

The situation in Baoxuan Grotto Heaven is extremely complex. The last scene Duncan saw was the Corpse Dissolving Immortal attacking Fan Huzi, seemingly coveting her body. The Old Devil of the demonic sect, Chan Daoist, was drawn in with a group of flying zombies from the Valley of Evil, and the Saintess of the Five Immortals Sect was also sucked in when the mysterious gate opened.

As for Lu Shanjun, he jumped in by himself. If he activated his Vajra True Qi, he might not even be absorbed.

"Right now, it's like a battle royale in the Grotto Heaven!"

"All the forces have been scrambled."

"And the last person standing can gain the Immortal family inheritance, or perhaps directly take over this Baoxuan Grotto Heaven!"

The celestial treasures are just a bonus.

If you manage to be the last standing, the entire Baoxuan Grotto Heaven is yours.

But the old monsters inside are too fierce.

If we fight hard now, there's probably little chance of winning; we must strategize wisely.

Duncan enters god mode.

Beside him, Fu Jianhan is a standard green unit, a trustworthy ally, while Miss Sun is a light green marked unit. As long as you bear no ill will towards her, she can be a good helper too.

As for the Five Immortals Sect Saintess, nicknamed the clever Yu Yaonu, she is marked as a yellow neutral unit, but with slight signs of friendliness.

"Fu Jianhan is a four-star gold card, already on the verge of a breakthrough."

"Such an elite unit, if he finds some celestial treasures, he might directly upgrade to a five-star silver gray."

"Miss Sun is five-star silver gray, comparable in strength to Lady Jade Face, but she belongs to the support unit category."

"Her strange skills can burst, but cannot face off directly."

In the four-person squad.

The most unstable is Yu Yaonu; she is a neutral unit, her stance is unclear, she might turn against you for treasure, and her strength fluctuates. With a snake Wyrm, she's five-star silver gray, but without the Gu King, she immediately falls to four-star mark."

"With these character cards combined, even counting myself, we can't defeat that green-haired Corpse Dissolving Immortal."

"We must find a way to locate Lu Shanjun."

In such a situation, strategy is the only solution.

Fu Jianhan might break through at any time and can be further developed; he's a major force. Lu Shanjun is a boss within our faction, stranded outside. To seize Baoxuan Grotto Heaven, he is one of the core combat strengths."

Yu Yaonu is both an enemy and a friend, her stance uncertain. However, with her help, there might be a temporary alliance with the Saintess of the Five Immortals Sect, making it possible to kill the old devil of the demonic sect and the green-haired Corpse Dissolving Immortal."

If we can operate this wave smoothly, reaching the final showdown, Duncan has a chance to upgrade to five-star gold."

No doubt, there are plenty of celestial treasures here!

The others do not yet know Duncan's thoughts, but they exchange glances without any disagreement. The place is indeed perilous; solo action easily leads to accidents. Moreover, having finally had the opportunity to enter the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land, one cannot leave empty-handed.

As for how those Dao Entrance Realm experts are battling, they are temporarily unaware.

This Grotto Heaven Blessed Land is large; the records say it's about 180 li, and there should be a chance to encounter them later.

Among the group, Miss Sun is currently the most useful.

She first harvested a centuries-old ganoderma, then dug up several large ginsengs. The ordinary-looking plants in others' eyes were, when dug by her, revealed to be herbs of various ages. Unfortunately, these couldn't be carried away, and Duncan had no storage space. This world doesn't have any similar curiosities either, so he could only select a few valuable items to carry.

If fighting breaks out, they'd have to be discarded anyway.

After digging a dozen or so, Miss Sun stopped; digging more would be wasteful. They couldn't be carried away and would rot in a few days if left here.

"What a pity," she remarked sorrowfully.

Herbs dozens or hundreds of years old could be found everywhere, for Baoxuan Grotto Heaven had been sealed for centuries.

A faint hint of blood wafted through the air.

Just as they descended the cliff, they saw a partially consumed corpse, dressed like a master from Yunnan. The body was gnawed beyond recognition, with two bite marks on the neck.

"It was done by those flying zombies," Yu Yaonu whispered.

The zombies refined by Chan Daoist probably didn't fall in the same place with him. Judging by the footprints on the ground, it appeared to be Zhu Jie's corpse, as he was notably burly.
