Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

The Jindan cultivator who sheltered Wei Ruyan died, and Wei Ruyan naturally knew what would happen to her in the shelter.

She was unwilling to sit and wait for death, so she took a risk and escaped from the shelter.

A large number of locusts surrounded and killed her.

Fortunately, Wei Ruyan collected a lot of scarce materials in the shelter with her alchemy skills.

Among them was a spiritual weapon-level colorful feathered clothing.

Relying on this colorful feathered clothing, Wei Ruyan kept running for three days and three nights.

But she could not get rid of the pursuit of these locusts.

At this time, her spiritual energy was exhausted.

Just when she thought her soul had returned to heaven, an old woman in the foundation-building period saved her and took the dying Wei Ruyan home.

In the locust tide, how could there be any cultivators who could settle down except in the shelter?

When Wei Ruyan saw the wall of the old woman's house, it suddenly became clear.

It turned out that the wall of the old woman's house was made of third-level thorns.

First-level locusts and second-level locusts could not break through at all.

In the small shelter made of third-level thorns, there are two houses and a flower garden.

Some spiritual medicines and spiritual grains are planted in the flower garden.

After Wei Ruyan recovered, she learned that the old woman was called Jinhua Granny, a refugee from Xingyi City.

Xingyi City was also destroyed in the locust tide.

Jinhua Granny also fled to the fourth-level sealing formation and found that there was no way to go.

Just when she decided to fight these locusts to the death.

She picked up a golden box with a third-level thorn seed in it.

She took out all the spiritual stones on her body and used them to cultivate this third-level thorn.

After the third-level thorn absorbed a lot of spiritual power, it instantly woven into a small shelter.

With this small shelter woven by thorns, Jinhua Granny was able to survive the locust tide.

Later, she often went out to look for resources when these locusts retreated.

If she was lucky, she would also pick up some boxes.

Generally, the golden boxes contain third-level spiritual materials, talismans, and even precious elixirs.

The silver boxes contain second-level spiritual materials, talismans, or elixirs.

The copper boxes contain first-level spiritual materials, talismans, or elixirs.

The most common seeds in the golden boxes are third-level thorn seeds.

There are many monks like Jinhua Granny who build small shelters in the locust tide.

They make a living by killing locusts and picking up boxes, and are also called "scavengers".

These third-level thorns can continuously expand their coverage area through spiritual stones.

Some third-level thorns can even cover a radius of one kilometer, which is enough for a hundred people to survive.

In the small shelter, Wei Ruyan helped Jinhua Granny take care of the spiritual medicines and spiritual grains in the flower garden, and refined some first-level top-grade elixirs.

Jinhua Granny went out from time to time to kill locusts and look for boxes of supplies.

Later, Jinhua Granny was killed during an outing and never came back.

Wei Ruyan inherited her small shelter.

At the beginning, she could only rely on the spiritual medicine and spiritual grains in the flower garden to maintain her cultivation.

It could barely meet her needs in the Qi Refining Period.

Later, she relied on the half foundation-building pill that Zhang Xuan left her to successfully build her foundation and became a foundation-building cultivator.

The spiritual medicine and spiritual grains in the flower garden were not enough.

She had to take the risk to look for material boxes around the small shelter.

She really found a lot.

However, she didn't dare to go too far away from the shelter.

She only dared to search for treasure boxes in some areas around the shelter.

Finally, some time ago, she found a golden box, which actually opened a third-level divine thought projection talisman.

After she returned to the small shelter, she tried it, and she didn't expect to contact Zhang Xuan.

And Zhang Xuan was still alive.

Zhang Xuan was also sighing after hearing it.

In the locust tide, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to survive.

He also briefly told Wei Ruyan about the agreement reached between Fairy Cat Valley and the third-level locusts.

When Wei Ruyan learned that Fairy Cat Valley actually repelled the third-level locusts and forced them to swear a heavenly oath to protect Fairy Cat Valley, she was also very surprised.

Now it seems that the ten clan elders are not only alive, but also living quite well.

"Now I don't know if those fire seeds can survive the locust tide." Zhang Xuan sighed.

"I remember when we were on the flying ship, the nine clan elders Zhang Xingshan, the treasurer Zhang Yingda, the family genius Zhang Yingjie, and the talisman master Zhang Ji all successfully established their foundations. Among them, Zhang Yingda and Zhang Yingjie continued to flee on the airship with a thousand fire seeds. The nine clan elders Zhang Xingshan and the talisman master Zhang Ji led more than a thousand cultivators to stay and block them. They have the combat power of foundation-building cultivators, and the probability of survival is still very high." Wei Ruyan said.

Zhang Xuan was delighted when he heard that Zhang Xingshan, Zhang Yingda, Zhang Yingjie, and Zhang Ji had successfully built their foundations: "I didn't expect that the foundation-building pills left for them would actually be used."

"I still have a little doubt, why did those boxes of supplies appear in the locust tide?" Zhang Xuan asked puzzledly.

Wei Ruyan shook her head and said: "This... I don't know, the old woman said that these boxes are gifts from God."

"A gift from God?" Zhang Xuan shook his head.

He didn't believe it at all, God even packed a box and sent it to the human cultivators.

"Won't these boxes be discovered by locusts?"

Zhang Xuan knew that these locusts would eat anything.

How could a box of supplies be left there for the cultivators to take?

"These boxes are restricted, locusts can't eat them, but human cultivators can open them easily."

"So weird?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

"Yes, and the more the insects gather, the more likely it is that there will be supply boxes, as if guiding the human monks to kill locusts."

"If you have supply boxes over there, why haven't I seen any around Fairy Cat Valley?" Zhang Xuan was puzzled.

"Supply boxes will not be too close to the shelter, at least more than a hundred miles away, and only in places where locusts gather."

"Oh..." Zhang Xuan seemed to understand something.

Every time he rushed out of Fairy Cat Valley, he only moved around the Fairy Cat Valley for dozens of miles, and never went beyond a hundred miles.

At this moment, the divine thought projection in front of him became weaker and weaker, and suddenly went out like a candle, completely disappearing.

"Alas..." Zhang Xuan sighed.

Now those fire seeds are probably in a bad situation.

The most important thing is that he can't help even if he wants to.

After all, he himself was trapped in Fairy Cat Valley by these locusts.

However, Wei Ruyan has a very valuable piece of information.

That is, there may really be supply boxes in these locust tides.

The golden box could actually produce a third-level spiritual material. How could Zhang Xuan not be excited?

After all, the only third-level spiritual material Zhang Xuan had was the shell of the red divine tortoise, which was still broken.

"I still have to find an opportunity to cross the city wall and try my best."

Having made up his mind, Zhang Xuan came out of the cave again.

Looking at the hundred-foot-high city wall.

Zhang Xuan wanted to climb up secretly, trying not to alert the patrolling locusts above.

He held the stones of the city wall tightly with his hands like eagle claws and climbed up.

It was safe at the beginning, but when he climbed to the top of the wall.

The locusts on the top of the wall surged and found him at once.

Hundreds of beacon towers on the city wall lit up.

"Squeak..."

More than a dozen second-level locusts rushed towards Zhang Xuan.

"Ni Ma!"

Zhang Xuan cursed inwardly, jumped directly from the city wall, and returned to the Fairy Cat Valley.
