The young man surnamed Tang could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

After all, the opponent is a powerful Martial Saint, and even if he were to suddenly kill him, there would be no consequences.

'This alliance is incredibly fragile.'

Chen Sanshi always stayed at the very end of the group, precisely because he was worried that something like this would happen.

"In that case."

Lu Boqin said in a deep voice, "What are you all waiting for? The opening time of the teleportation array is uncertain, and it may be closed at any time."

He said this and took the lead in stepping into the teleportation array.

The others followed suit.

"You two take Chihiro and find a safe place to wait for me here."

Chen Sanshi turned around and explained.

Ningxiang replied, "Cousin, please go without worry. We will take good care of the horses."

Chen Sanshi then followed the others onto the stone platform and, imitating their actions, placed the jade tablet into the groove under his feet.

All of a sudden.

All eight of them were enveloped in a blinding white light.

Ningxiang, Zhaozhao, and the white swan horse were all nearly injured in the eyes.

When they finally opened their eyes, the teleportation array was completely empty. The eight people from before seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

"Master."

Zhao Zhao sighed, "We've made such a long trip, and the cultivation world is so close, but in the end we still can't get in."

"Don't worry."

Ningxiang remained calm: "There's something you might not understand yet."

Zhao Zhao sat down on the rock and placed the heavy box on the ground: "What is it?"

"If we continue to stay in the Immortal Seeking Pavilion, we will most likely grow old and die in the brothel."

Ningxiang gazed at the empty stone platform and said softly, "But things may not be so simple now."

Zhao Zhao still didn't understand.

After resting for a while, she decided to ride her horse back while the man surnamed Chen was away.

It was at this time.

The white swan horse suddenly charged uncontrollably toward the stone platform.

"Eh?!"

Ningxiang tried to use magic to stop it, but it was too late; she could only watch helplessly as it entered the teleportation array.

Unexpectedly.

The white swan horse on the stone platform was unharmed; instead, it triggered the teleportation array again and disappeared in an instant.

……

"boom--"

Chen Sanshi felt as if his body was sinking into an abyss with no end in sight. His vision spun, and he could only see colorful spiritual lights. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

This state lasted for about a dozen breaths.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself still on the stone platform, as were the other eight people. Even the jade tablet under his feet was still in its groove, but the surrounding environment had changed drastically.

here……

It looks like a forest.

Chen Sanshi used the [Qi Observation Technique] to observe, but found no spiritual energy nearby. It seems that the so-called ancient war caused serious damage to the world, but the mixed energy between heaven and earth was obviously much less.

"call……"

He calmed his breathing, took off the jade pendant, and stood up.

After the group of eight stepped off the stone platform, the teleportation array disappeared.

"really!"

Tang Ao said, "Just like the records I saw, the location of the ancient teleportation array is random within a certain range, so there shouldn't be any cultivators waiting for us here anymore."

"In that case."

Lu Boqin said, "Then let's continue our journey together to find a place where we can cultivate."

The seven people walked ahead.

Chen Sanshi slipped into the jungle while they weren't looking.

The fool continued to follow along.

There was no other way before.

Along the way, many cultivators were eyeing the place covetously; relying solely on himself, he had a 99% chance of not reaching his destination. Now…

Those two martial saints became the greatest danger.

If something happens again, they'll probably have to use someone as a shield again.

Chen Sanshi reached out and wiped his face, restoring his original appearance. He then turned his two layers of clothes inside out, completely changing his appearance, before continuing to walk forward.

"Chihiro?"

He sensed something in his heart.

Soon after, the white swan horse came into view.

Having encountered many cultivators before, none of them paid special attention to Qianxun, indicating that it didn't seem special on the surface and wouldn't attract any covetousness, so following along was perfectly fine.

The reason for staying on the island was simply because it was uncertain whether the jade pendant could provide protection along with the mount.

Unexpectedly, Chihiro followed us here on her own.

It didn't have a jade pendant, so how did it come along?

Chen Sanshi asked, "Then can you activate the teleportation array with people without using the jade token?"

The answer was no.

"Ok."

Chen Sanshi mounted his horse.

No matter where you go, not having to walk yourself is ultimately a comfortable thing.

[Skill: Beast Taming (Beginner)]

【Progress: 0/100】

[Effect: None]

The panel appears.

so……

Chihiro has truly evolved into a spirit beast.

Chen Sanshi wasn't too surprised. He mounted his horse and set off, also curious about what the cultivation world was like.

In the original imagination.

Cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation should live a carefree and unrestrained life.

However, whether from Mr. Mei's words or what he saw and heard along the way, it was clear that this was not the case.

Especially spirit stones, which serve as currency.

This shows that monks also need to work and have all sorts of disputes.

Is this a sparsely populated area?

Seeing the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys in the southern sky, Chen Sanshi immediately told Qianxun to hurry there. About half an hour later…

A small mountain village came into view.

That's right.

It's just an ordinary village, with simple brick houses, people coming and going, children playing and laughing, and yellow dogs chasing each other—everything is a scene that is commonplace in the mundane world.

For a moment, Chen Sanshi even had the illusion that he had returned to Yanbian Village, as if he had just finished hunting and was about to go home.

"Linghe?"

After gaining a broader perspective.

Vast expanses of farmland came into view.

The main crop grown by the local people is rice. Almost every farmland is planted with spirit rice, and in some places, it is as much as half of the land.

"what!"

"Ha ha—"

"..."

Under the big locust tree at the village entrance, a child who looked about six or seven years old was holding a wooden sword and swinging it around haphazardly without any strategy.

"Little Doll."

Chen Sanshi stopped beside him: "Where is this place?"

Ignore him.

The child continued to practice swordsmanship with focused concentration.

Chen Sanshi dismounted and asked, "Why are you practicing swordsmanship at such a young age?"

"Kill the Immortal!"

The boy said without looking up.

"Oh?"

Chen Sanshi continued, "Why do you harbor thoughts of killing immortals?"

“If we kill the immortal, we won’t have to plant poisonous herbs anymore, my mother won’t starve, and my father will have money to treat his illness!”

The boy spoke each word with heavy weight, and the wooden sword in his hand, which seemed to have no particular technique, also carried a hint of killing intent.
