Everything became more organized and standardized.

This is equivalent to each sect having its own "merit" system, where merits are accumulated over time and then exchanged for cultivation resources.

"I obey your orders!"

The crowd kept their voices down, but their killing intent shook the heavens and earth.

Both Wang Zhi and Rong Yanqiu had bloodshot eyes.

Holding the garrison commander's token, Chen Sanshi opened a passage outside the barrier, allowing the officers of Tianyong City to pass through one after another.

One more person is needed...

Guiyuan Sect has many Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he needs help.

But if Deng Wuchang really doesn't come, Chen Sanshi will still proceed according to the original plan, only he will need to be more adaptable.

He was not disappointed.

About half a cup of tea later, a figure arrived riding a flying talisman.

"Brother Xiao, you've been waiting for a long time!"

Deng Wuchang was all smiles and beaming with pride; he had clearly found quite a few good things on this trip.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Deng."

Chen Sanshi respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

Dealing with sect disciples carries extremely high risks. If it were an ordinary ghostwriter, having already obtained a large number of rare and precious materials in the forbidden area, perhaps exceeding the original reward, why would they continue to insist?

"What are you thinking, kid?"

Deng Wuchang guessed what the other party was thinking: "I am different from those people. My reputation in the underworld is unparalleled. I always keep my word."

"Also, thank you for the storage bag."

The storage bag played a crucial role. Since the other party trusted him so much and wasn't afraid of him leaving after he had "eaten and drunk his fill," he naturally had to repay them with "trust."

"Right inside."

Chen Sanshi maintained the passage and let Deng Wuchang enter before he followed closely behind into the depths of the secret realm!

……

After the disciples of the three sects successively collected two spiritual sites, they continued to explore forward. However, they had not gone far when they were suddenly enveloped by a light curtain above their heads.

Barrier...

It's restarted!

"what happened!"

"What?! The barrier has been restarted?!"

The cultivators were filled with fear and unease.

"Where's Liu Feng?!"

Qian Qiren frowned: "They're guarding outside. If something happens, how come no news gets through at all?"

"Om-"

Xu Baoren soared into the sky, but was eventually blocked by a barrier.

"Are we really stuck?"

Cui Zichen's face was grim: "Who on earth did this?"

"Don't panic, everyone."

Zhang Susu also looked solemn, but remained calm: "Let's piece the map together first and see if there are any other exits."

The tattered parchment scrolls were put back together.

"The so-called forbidden lands and secret realms are nothing more than a spatial collapse in ancient times. When such a large fluctuation occurs, there is usually more than one gap."

Zhang Jinchen discovered a clue and pointed to the southeast corner of the map: "If I'm not mistaken, this mark may be another exit, but it seems to be quite far from our location."

"Again."

Xu Baoren said in a deep voice, "Since we're already here, no matter what happens, we can't leave empty-handed. We'll gather resources while moving towards the exit, and at the same time, we need to find out what happened outside the barrier."

Everyone agreed.

They sent three more people to scout the rear.

The rest of the group continued onward, and after passing several stone tablets with inscriptions that were no longer legible, they came to find even more corpses and rare treasures.

"Nascent Soul corpse..."

"How can there be so many?!"

"..."

In front of them lay the remains of at least a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators, their bones perhaps transformed into nutrients, which explained the exceptionally lush growth of the spiritual plants nearby.

"So many Nascent Soul cultivators died, which ancient battle was it?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Along their journey, they likely encountered far more Nascent Soul corpses than the number of living beings in Tianshui Continent.

"Bai Yujing?"

Next to the skeleton of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Qian Qiren found some broken jade pendants. After carefully piecing them together, he could vaguely make out the characters on them.

Immortal Sect, Jade Capital!

According to the True Immortal Classics, hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a true immortal sect called Baiyujing in Tianshui Continent. It was a sect founded by true immortals from the upper realm and could connect heaven and earth, linking the two realms.

Back then, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was still abundant, and various resources were not as scarce as they are now. As long as one had sufficient aptitude, forming a core or even a nascent soul was not a problem.

That era is something all cultivators in Tianshui Continent yearn for.

Unfortunately……

Later, the demonic leader of the Luo Xiao Sect launched a war between good and evil, destroying the foundation of this world and causing spiritual energy to become increasingly scarce and resources to become increasingly barren.

There are no specific records of the details of that great battle.

However, it now appears that the Nine Nether Forbidden Land was very likely a local battlefield from back then.

Only in this way can we explain the fall of so many high-level cultivators.

The spiritual creatures that grow here mostly grow from the residual spiritual energy of this place, rather than being there originally.

"It really is that great battle! Look, there's a broken magical artifact here with the ancient characters 'Luo Xiao Sect' engraved on it!"

As one of the cultivators spoke, he couldn't help but kick the corpse of the "demon" from the Luo Xiao Sect twice: "If it weren't for these damned demons, our cultivation would not be so arduous!"

……

not far away.

Chen Sanshi, who had followed closely, lay in wait, observing the situation ahead. With his extraordinary senses, he naturally overheard the conversation among these people.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, that's a really long time ago.

He raised his arm, signaling the Tianyong City captain behind him to obey orders and not to act rashly.

Now is not the time.

Although they have a lot of manpower, apart from themselves and Deng Wuchang, their cultivation levels are not high enough. They can handle a sect on their own, but if there are more, it will backfire.

When Chen Sanshi was disguised as "Liu Feng", he also glanced at the map and knew that there would be a fork in the road ahead, and the three sects might be separated for a short time.

as predicted.

The three disciples stopped at the fork in the road. Xu Baoren, holding a map, said, "Treasures may appear on any of these roads ahead. How about we each choose one and then meet up on the main road ahead?"

"As soon as possible."

Zhang Susu reminded us, "We haven't figured out the barrier yet. Someone might sneak into the secret realm. We shouldn't be separated for too long."

Each sect chose a side path and quickly disappeared.

Just as Chen Sanshi was about to follow Guiyuan Gate into the leftmost path, his heart suddenly tightened.

His Qi Observation Technique suddenly revealed that a figure was lurking in the dense jungle ahead, quietly observing everything.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the range that the [Qi Observation Technique] can observe is no longer a fixed distance, but is determined by the strength of one's spiritual sense.

This mysterious figure was just outside the edge, so all that could be seen was a person, but there was no way to determine their specific level of strength.

But Chen Sanshi sensed an indescribable danger.
