Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 66: Strange Vehicle

Elder Chen Tong also mentioned that Zhao Emperor harbored ambitions of annexing the entire continent.

As a neighboring state, Qin was his first target, which is why wars frequently broke out.

Despite Zhao State appearing to have only one imperial Family on the surface, its true strength, when including the various vassal kings and cultivation Families, was no weaker than Qin’s three sects.

Just as Fang Hong was lost in thought, a sudden whooshing sound echoed from the sky, piercing through the air and drawing the attention of everyone.

A massive flying wooden ship, glowing with Spiritual Qi, was seen rapidly approaching from the east.

The flying wooden ship was incredibly fast, reaching the vicinity of the valley from afar in the blink of an eye, then hovering steadily in the air.

After the Spiritual Qi dissipated, dozens of figures flew out from the ship, landing steadily opposite the three sects.

Leading them was a seventy-year-old man in white armor, who looked like an old general.

Moreover, the old man’s aura was extremely powerful, even stronger than the Elders of the three sects. Fang Hong secretly guessed that he was a peak Core Formation Stage Cultivator.

With a wave of the armored old man’s hand, the flying wooden ship rapidly shrunk to palm-size, falling into his hand and being put away.

Upon the arrival of the Zhao State Cultivators, the Qin Cultivators from the three sects, who had been conversing in low voices, immediately fell silent.

The two sides gazed at each other, and a tense atmosphere filled the air. Although there was no communication between them, their eyes revealed vigilance and caution.

They stood silently, waiting for the poisonous mist in the valley to dissipate.

Fang Hong subtly observed the Zhao State Cultivators.

He noticed that they were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, uniformly clad in black armor.

The armor was uniquely styled, emitting faint fluctuations of magical power, appearing to be high-grade Spiritual Artifacts, which made Fang Hong not dare to underestimate them.

Among these individuals, one woman caught Fang Hong’s attention. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The woman was beautiful and captivating, with bright, clear eyes that exuded a cool, detached aura.

Unlike the other Zhao State Cultivators, she wore no armor, but instead was draped in a long robe as white as snow.

Fang Hong could tell at a glance that her cultivation was also quite impressive, at the peak Foundation Establishment Stage.

Of course, what truly made Fang Hong pay special attention to her was neither her appearance nor her cultivation.

It was the armored old man who constantly guarded her side, like a loyal protector, ensuring her safety at all times.

This made Fang Hong suspect that the woman’s identity was likely significant, and if he encountered her in Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, he would have to be extra careful.

...

The group of Cultivators waited patiently outside the valley. Finally, on a morning two days later, the purple poisonous mist pervading the valley began to change.

The poisonous mist, like a tide, slowly started to recede.

Many disciples, besides the four Core Formation Stage experts present, were greatly surprised by this sight.

Fang Hong stared intently at the valley, watching as the purple poisonous mist continuously converged towards the center of the valley until it completely vanished.

Immediately after, a dark stone tablet stood in the middle of the valley, with some runes faintly flickering on its surface.

Fang Hong stood up from the rock, looking at the stone tablet with curiosity. Was that the entrance to Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden?

With the purple poisonous mist receded, the four Core Formation Stage Elders exchanged glances, then, with unspoken understanding, flew above the valley, their full magical power surging forth.

The four Core Formation Stage Cultivators acted simultaneously, directing their magical power onto the stone tablet in the middle of the valley.

Fang Hong was somewhat astonished by this scene. What kind of treasure was that stone tablet, to be able to withstand the magical power impact of four Late Core Formation Stage Cultivators simultaneously and remain perfectly intact?

"Rumble..." After the four Elders infused their magical power for a moment, runes circulated around the stone tablet, gradually forming a golden teleportation gate about ten feet in size.

"Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden is open! Everyone, quickly enter!" The four experts shouted in unison.

The disciples and Cultivators below heard the call and soared into the air, eagerly rushing into the golden teleportation gate.

Fang Hong also followed unhurriedly, passing through the teleportation.

With a "whoosh," a flash of white light crossed Fang Hong’s eyes, instantly obscuring his vision.

He felt a vast whiteness before him, unable to see anything.

A few breaths later, Fang Hong’s vision returned.

He looked around and found himself in a very vast, desolate plain.

The plain stretched as far as the eye could see, with yellow sand covering the ground, interspersed with scattered rocks and yellow weeds. The Spiritual Qi was much denser than outside.

At the end of the plain were towering mountains, reaching into the clouds, shrouded in mist, giving a mysterious and magnificent feeling.

The sky of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden was clear, but there was no sun, which Fang Hong found a bit strange.

Seeing this scene, Fang Hong couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. He wondered what Heaven-Defying Divine Ability those ancient powerful Cultivators had used to create a world within a stone tablet; it was truly incredible.

Fang Hong took out the jade slip given by his sect and injected magical power into it.

Instantly, a map appeared as a light screen before him, clearly showing his current location.

According to the Elder’s explanation, Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was divided into three areas: the Edge Zone, the Middle Zone, and the Core Zone.

Among them, the Core Zone was the most central part of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, where various spirit medicines grew, including even ten-thousand-year-old spirit medicines.

Of course, the Core Zone was also the most dangerous area, mostly dominated by Level 5 and 6 Demonic Beasts.

If one accidentally trespassed into their territory, they would surely face their furious attacks.

Fang Hong’s current location was in the Edge Zone, which was the initial teleportation point for every disciple.

There were also spirit medicines in this area, but they were relatively rare.

Therefore, most disciples would not waste time in this area, as they could only stay in Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden for one month, and time was precious.

Fang Hong put away the jade slip, determined a direction, and began running towards the distant, majestic mountains.

Before entering Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, the Elder had solemnly warned that no flying with Spiritual Artifacts was allowed inside the garden; otherwise, one would be annihilated by powerful restrictions, body and spirit destroyed.

Fang Hong naturally dared not defy the prohibition. If he were to fly presumptuously, he would probably turn to dust in an instant.

Therefore, he could only use the Wind Control Technique to run forward...

Fang Hong ran for half a day in the Edge Zone of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, using the Wind Control Technique, heading towards the distant mountains.

Suddenly, a "thump-thump-thump" sound came from not far away, standing out sharply in the silent, desolate plain.

Fang Hong abruptly stopped, vigilantly looking in the direction of the sound.

He saw dust rising in the distance, and two strangely shaped vehicles were rapidly approaching his position!
