As the body sank, gusts of terrifying gale-force wind blew against it. If it weren't for the protection of the defensive talisman, even with cultivation to protect oneself, it would have torn a person to pieces immediately.

The deeper they went, the more terrifying the gale became. Only then did the family truly grasp the horror of the abyss.

The family kept falling and falling, as if half a century had passed, before they finally realized they were out of the fog.

At that moment, in the heart of the mist, two enormous figures appeared in the sky, their unfathomable eyes sweeping across the mountain range as if searching for something.

A moment later, a tremendous roar resounded through the sky, "Where is he? Didn't I tell you to take control of this area? How could he have escaped?"

Do you know how much effort and power I expended to achieve this moment?

However, Xu Qingman and her family were completely unaware of everything that was happening here.

At this moment, they were overjoyed because they could finally escape the fog.

After their spiritual senses were finally restored, the couple probed downwards again, but unfortunately, they still couldn't reach the bottom.

It should be noted that after the two of them reached the Nascent Soul stage, their divine senses could extend to a distance of at least a hundred miles.

But now, after at least several hours of falling, it is still impossible to determine how deep it is below.

However, after leaving that strange fog, they could no longer sense the source of the terrifying danger, so they must have escaped the danger.

It was terrifying. The oppressive feeling it gave them was on a completely different level than the feeling they had when they had a chance encounter with a cultivator undergoing tribulation.

It gave them the feeling of being the difference between an elephant and an ant.

More than a month after the family fell, they finally sensed that it was no longer nothingness.

After being able to be probed to the bottom by divine sense, it didn't take long for the family to feel the ground beneath their feet again.

The family of four temporarily settled in a valley covering hundreds of acres, overgrown with various shrubs.

After leaving that area, the family casually headed north. Unfortunately, several hours had passed, and they still hadn't found anything.

Xu Shuyin suggested, "Dad, Mom, there isn't even a single young spiritual plant here, and Xiaobai said he hasn't found anything either. Let's go look somewhere else."

Yu Jinchen nodded, "Alright, let's fly a bit further on our swords and take a look. We've been in this area for so long without any results, there's really no need to keep fighting here."

Unfortunately, two days have passed since then, and the family of four still has no luck.

Not only did they fail to find any spiritual herbs or fruits, they didn't even encounter a single demonic beast.

Now, everyone could see that something was wrong.

Yu Jinchen tried to contact Lei Zhensheng and the others using a sound transmission talisman, but as expected, there was no response.

"Slowly, children, our family may have already left the secret realm, but we don't know where this place is," Yu Jinchen said with a wry smile.

Xu Qingman said, "I had this suspicion a long time ago. Since we landed, the spiritual energy in the air has been extremely weak, much weaker than in any city. It feels similar to Earth."

Xu Shuyi suggested, "Father, Mother, why don't we try to get out of this mountain range and see what the situation is like outside?"

The whole family agreed with Xu Shuyi's suggestion, since there was no other way to get out of here for the time being.

As for going back up from where they came down, that's impossible. Putting aside the unknown dangers up there, their abilities simply aren't enough to fly to that height.

The family of four flew on their swords for nearly three days before finally emerging from the mountains. Looking at the low houses in the distance, Xu Shuyin exclaimed excitedly.

"Father, Mother, Brother, look! There are houses and people over there. We've finally reached a populated area."

Xu Shuyi also said with a smile, "Yes, we've finally made it out. Once we're in a place with people, we'll be able to figure out where we are."

As they got closer, the family was so amazed by what they saw that they couldn't stop smiling.

Mud houses, thatched huts, and the tattered clothes of farmers working in the fields.

All of this clearly tells them that this is definitely not modern society, much less a cultivation world focused on cultivating immortality.

Only now did they truly understand reality and realize why, ever since they entered the mountains, whenever they used abilities exceeding the Nascent Soul realm, they could always vaguely sense the pressure from the Heavenly Dao.

Looking at the tools the farmers used and the clothes they wore, it was clear that this was an ancient, remote mountain village.

Seeing all this, Xu Shuyi and her siblings were somewhat unable to accept it. After telling their parents, they quickly ran to the nearest farmers, intending to ask them for information.

"Hello sir, may I ask where this is? Which city does it belong to?"

Upon hearing the question, the farmer chuckled and replied, "Our village is located in Xiashan Village, which is under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Town in Dongyang City."

After answering, the old farmer asked Xu Shuyi with a puzzled look, "Where did you and this young lady come from? Are you looking for someone?"

Before Xu Shuyi could answer, Xu Shuyin replied with a grin, "Uncle, we came from this mountain range behind us, so we don't know where we are."

Upon hearing this, the old farmer immediately exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, how could you two kids dare to cross the Dragon's Edge Mountains alone? You two are truly lucky to have come out unharmed."

Xu Shuyin smiled and pointed to where her parents were standing. "It's not just the two of us. Our parents are with us too. And our whole family knows martial arts, so it's okay if we encounter wild beasts."

The old farmer shook his head after hearing this and sighed, "So what if you have kung fu? Every year, countless martial arts practitioners enter this mountain range in search of immortality, but very few of them come back alive."

Upon hearing the old farmer mention the words "fate to immortality," Xu Shuyi immediately asked, "Fate to immortality, do you mean that many people enter the Dragon's Edge Mountains in search of such opportunities?"

"Uh, didn't your family come into the mountains to seek a destiny of immortality?"

"No, we were admitted for other reasons, but what you've said is quite interesting. Could you please tell us about it?"

Seeing that the old farmer didn't seem too willing, Xu Shuyi took out a silver thumb ring from her bundle and put it in the old farmer's hand.

They all had quite a few of these ordinary gold and silver ornaments on them, all of which were found in the storage rings of the Xuan Tian Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect after they killed him.

They thought it wouldn't take up much space, so they didn't throw it away. They never expected to use it so soon.

Seeing her brother's actions, Xu Shuyin finally understood why her mother had made each of them carry a bundle before they went down the mountain.

The old farmer stared in disbelief at the silver coin in his hand, his voice trembling as he exclaimed, "For me?"

Seeing Xu Shuyi nod at him, he quickly glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, carefully slipped the ring into his pocket.
