After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Seeing Yu Jinchen's serious expression, the cultivators didn't say anything and quietly retreated more than a hundred miles behind him.

After stopping, Yu Jinchen's legs were still trembling slightly.

Xu Qingman asked, puzzled, "Jinchen, did you sense any danger just now?"

Yu Jinchen sighed and replied, "That's right. I sensed a powerful and dangerous aura ahead just now. I felt that its cultivation was much higher than that of the Wuji Sect's Grand Elder we encountered last time."

Everyone was terrified upon hearing this. You must know that the Great Elder of the Wuji Sect was a Nascent Soul stage ancestor. If it weren't for the spiritual energy revival that brought him out of seclusion to investigate the cause, very few people in the world would know of his existence.

The secular name of the Grand Elder of the Wuji Sect is no longer known; he is referred to as the Wuji Ancestor. It is said that he is over eight hundred years old, making him the oldest and most accomplished cultivator to date.

But now, Yu Jinchen actually said that the aura he just felt was even stronger than that of the Boundless Ancestor. That proves that the cultivators in this world are indeed superior to those on their side.

After this discovery, everyone agreed with Yu Jinchen and the other person's suggestion and decided to go in another direction to see if they could find a place where local cultivators gathered and find out the situation here.

The direction we just saw was north, while they came in from the south. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to head east this time.

Fearing danger and not having enough time to react, none of them flew through the forest on swords, relying instead on their own two legs.

A few days later, some low-level demonic beasts gradually appeared in the forest. They were then surprised to realize that there were indeed demonic beasts here. It was likely due to that powerful aura that no demonic beast dared to approach that area.

So, the fact that they managed to come out alive is truly a stroke of incredible luck.

The further they went, the more monsters they encountered. They even occasionally came across some third-tier monsters.

They tried their best to avoid anything they could. If they couldn't avoid it, they had no choice but to kill it.

By the third day, they encountered more than just demonic beasts. Sometimes, they would also run into cultivators who were gathering herbs in the forest or specifically hunting demonic beasts.

Normally, other cultivators would keep their distance from them because of their large numbers. But sometimes, things are different.

No sooner had the group put a small piece of the medicinal herb into their bag than they were surrounded by a group of over fifty people.

Yu Jinchen's face turned cold, and he asked in a chilling voice, "What is the meaning of this, fellow Daoists? You've surrounded us without a word. Do you intend to rob us?"

The other party burst into laughter, looking at them with utter disdain, as if they were all ants.

"Since you know what we mean, then you'd better be sensible and throw all your storage treasures over here. I can guarantee you'll die a quick death."

Yu Jinchen and the others looked at the male cultivator who was speaking. He looked to be in his thirties and had a mid-stage Golden Core cultivation.

Xu and the others counted that the other side had more than fifty people. Apart from seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, the rest were all Golden Core cultivators, and three of them were already in the late Golden Core stage.

On their side, there were only Yu Jinchen and one other person who were at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, while the others were split evenly between the middle and early stages.

Regardless of whether the strength is evenly matched, since the other side has no intention of letting us go, let's fight first and see what happens.

Thinking of this, the group exchanged glances, then stopped wasting words and directly swung their swords at the enemy.

As the weapons of both sides collided in mid-air, a deafening roar erupted, sending out a tremendous shockwave.

The nearby demons and other cultivators were so frightened that they all fled, lamenting that their parents had only given them two legs.

After understanding the meaning in Yu Jinchen's eyes, Xu Qingman also drew her sword and charged towards a female cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

With a whoosh, his body flew out like an arrow, along with the sword in his hand, striking straight at the opponent's face.

The female cultivator swiftly deflected the longsword with her spear and then kicked Xu Qingman. Caught off guard, Xu Qingman was sent flying quite a distance.

Xu Qingman rolled on the ground to dodge the spear thrust at her, then flipped over and leaped up, quickly slapping a defensive talisman onto her body.

The spiritual energy gathered on the sword again and rushed forward once more, the two figures entangled once more.

This time, Xu Qingman had seen through the enemy's offensive and quickly found a technique to counter it.

Xu Qingman used a spell called "All Plants and Trees Are Soldiers," and all the plants and trees around them obeyed her command. Instantly, thousands of vines stretched out from the forest and tightly bound the enemy.

The opponent must have been practicing fire-based techniques; as soon as the vines climbed onto her body, they were immediately ignited by the flames emanating from her.

Unfortunately, there were countless vines obeying Xu Qingman's commands, and she simply couldn't burn them all.

Finally, taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, Xu Qingman leaped forward and plunged her sword into the enemy's dantian, shattering it directly.

After killing the man, Xu Qingman immediately swallowed a Spirit-Replenishing Pill and looked back at the battlefield. Seeing someone fighting two opponents at once, she immediately joined the fray.

After a fierce battle, Xu Qingman and her team finally killed the last few enemies. They didn't even spare the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the other side.

We can't let them leave just because we can't bear it for a moment. If that attracts the attention of their elders, they won't be able to leave alive.

Afterwards, Xu Qingman and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield, collected all the storage magic treasures on these cultivators, and then threw a few fire talismans to burn them to ashes.

After leaving this area, Yu Jinchen suggested that, in order to prevent the cultivators' magical artifacts from having the divine consciousness left by their elders, which could lead to their deaths, they should be careful.

He would keep these magical treasures for now, as he had a way to isolate them from divine sense. Once he figured out a way to erase the divine sense or markings on them, he would take them out and share them equally with everyone.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

Afterwards, the group continued eastward. Along the way, Yu Jinchen fought a demonic beast that was about to reach the fourth rank, which instantly raised his cultivation level, which was already close to breaking through, to the Nascent Soul stage.

The others also improved their cultivation levels due to the continuous battles.

Xu Qingman and another cultivator advanced from the mid-stage Golden Core realm to the late-stage. At this point, their team consisted of one Nascent Soul cultivator, three late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and twenty-eight mid-stage Golden Core cultivators.

The remaining four early-stage Golden Core cultivators have also reached the critical point. It's believed that it won't be long before they all reach the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

With a Nascent Soul cultivator in their team, they no longer shy away from fourth-tier demonic beasts. After all, every battle greatly benefits their cultivation.

Furthermore, wherever there are high-level demonic beasts, there will definitely be high-level spiritual herbs nearby. Therefore, they no longer avoid high-level demonic beasts; sometimes they even actively seek them out.

The group walked through the forest for over a month until they realized they could no longer find a single demonic beast of the third rank or higher. They were then surprised to discover that they had been encountering more and more cultivators in the past few days.

They have probably left this mountain range.
