The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Mingshan Sect, Meitang.

Salty Fish held the communication token in his hand: "The message still won't go through. It's been a year, how come they're still in the secret realm?"

Gou Yue frowned: "A Yuan and I were trapped inside for several months before we came out. They had Huo Xianzun protecting them, so they should have been out long ago."

Xianyu was very anxious. In the past year, apart from Jiang Ming sending a message every half month saying "Shi Bao is well," there had been no other news about Shi Bao.

No one knows where Jiang Ming took the stone treasure.

Gou Yue and Ning Yuan sent out many spies, but they couldn't find a single clue.

The main cities of the Immortal Clan are all equipped with square formations, making it impossible for spies from other clans to enter.

The Mingshan Sect has very few friendly cultivators, and there's not a single clue among those willing to help investigate.

Salty Fish: "I can't wait any longer, I'm going to Longquan Cliff."

Gou Yue: "You've mentioned Longquan Cliff several times. What do you want to do at Longquan Cliff?"

Salty Fish: "If I go to Longquan Cliff, I'll have a way to rescue Shi Bao."

Gou Yue disagreed: "No, Shi Bao has already been kidnapped. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to Shen Yao?"

Xianyu's attitude was firm: "Don't worry, Yaoyao will also support me to go to Longquan Cliff, and I must go."

After thinking for a long time, Gou Yue said, "Alright, I'll arrange for two Demon Saints to accompany you."

……

Shi Bao is four years and seven months old, but he still looks like a three-year-old and hasn't grown at all.

Having just finished training with Jiang Ye today, he couldn't wait to go find Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming stood guard outside the training ground.

Shi Bao ran to Jiang Ming, clung to him, and hugged his neck, saying sweetly, "Daddy, Daddy, let's go to the art studio. Shi Bao misses Mommy so much."

Jiang Ming's smile softened, and he looked at Shi Bao with doting eyes: "Okay, Daddy will take you to see Mommy."

Jiang Ming's studio was filled with paintings of the Goddess of Chongcheng, but he had erased the other two beauties in the paintings, leaving only Shen Yao in the picture.

She smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

Looking at the paintings, Shi Bao sighed, "Oh, I still miss my mother so much!"

Jiang Ming: "Hmm... I want to too."

……

Shen Yao used a forty-nine-day divine-level mind-clearing technique on the small wine jar, and she felt like she was about to be exorcised.

The child in the wine jar was finally converted. Its soul emerged from the jar, its face no longer pale, and it looked just like a normal child.

The child looked at her gratefully for a while, then turned into a ball of light and floated away into the distance.

Huo Die removed the Six Directions Array, and Feng Yu used the Mirror Light to illuminate the wine jar, revealing only the corpse of a child.

The body quickly turned into blood in the wine jar.

Two golden beams flew into Feng Yu and Shen Yao's bodies respectively, followed by two dark red beams that flew into Shen Yao's and Hu Yawu's bodies respectively.

Their spiritual roots have finally returned.

Huo Die returned the wine jar to the tavern and unleashed a divine fire, burning the mountainside house to the ground.

Huo Die: "It's time to move on."

Feng Yu controlled the Song'ao Beast House to fly towards the mountaintop. The beast house quickly crossed the mountaintop and flew towards the plain in front.

Shen Yao stood beside him: "We've been here for more than half a year, and we don't know how Shi Bao and Xian Yu are doing."

Feng Yu: "Missing them?"

Shen Yao: "Hmm, don't you want to?"

Feng Yu: "I only want you, but you're by my side."

Oh my god, how did he even learn cheesy pickup lines?

Shen Yao blushed and ran away shyly, covering her face.

He's so good at this, Shen Yao felt so sweet inside.

A short while later, Shen Yao returned to the front hall: "Aren't you tired of controlling it like this? Can't it fly on its own?"

Feng Yu: "It can fly on its own, but it's very slow."

Shen Yao: "Then stop flying and let it fly on its own."

Feng Yu withdrew her spiritual power and took Shen Yao's hand: "Didn't you want to go back quickly?"

Shen Yao grasped his hand, leaned against his arm, and looked up at him obediently: "I want you to stay with me. Let's go back to our room."

"Back to the room?" Feng Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, licked his lower lip, and unconsciously looked down from her face.

Seeing his expression, Shen Yao knew he was up to no good, so she quickly pulled him toward a chair in the hall: "Let's not go back to the room, let's sit here for a while."

Feng Yu pulled her back to his side, picked her up, and carried her on his shoulder towards the room: "No, let's go back to the room."

I've been practicing this divine mind-clearing technique for nothing all these days.

This husband of mine, even the last vestige of his youthful appearance is almost gone...

……

The plains on the ground were all green as far as the eye could see. The Song'ao Beast House flew over the plains for two days but did not fly out.

I have no idea how big this plain is.

If it weren't for the changing plants along the way, they would have wondered if the animal house had been going around in circles the whole time.

On the third night, Huo Die suddenly woke everyone up.

Shen Yao: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Huo Die: "There's something in the plains, Yunhe. Tell the beast hut to stop for a bit."

The Song'ao Beast House stopped where Huo Die felt something was wrong. The house's spirit lamp illuminated the surroundings, which were all covered in tall grass, so there was nothing unusual to be seen.

Huo Die made hand seals and chanted an incantation, drawing a talisman in the air: "Probe!"

The talisman drifted into the grass and burrowed straight into the ground.

Three hours later, the talisman emerged from the ground, floated towards the beast house, and returned to Huo Die's hand.

Huo Die threw the talisman into the air, and the talisman dissolved without fire in mid-air.

A phantom of an underground palace appeared in the air, brightly lit and magnificent.

Huo Die's palm touched the phantom: "This underground palace is ten miles underground, and the entrance is right under our feet."

The Taoist talisman should record the illusion from the outside in, and the image of the underground palace is very clear.

From the perspective of the talisman, the phantom can be seen to be divided into five chambers, which are connected by four passages.

The entrance was in a room, where a huge living creature was kept. The talisman passed by very quickly, and only a fleeting glimpse of the creature's back could be seen. It was unclear whether it was a strange beast or a monster.

The second chamber contained four coffins and many utensils, which appeared to be funerary objects.

In the third room, you can see many chains, but you don't know what they're locking. The Taoist talisman seems to have passed by the corner of the wall close to the ceiling. I didn't see anything else besides the chains.

The fourth room was shimmering with golden light, and some magical treasures floated in the air. There was a scroll-like object surrounded by magical treasures, which should be some kind of cultivation technique.

The fifth room also contained many chains and a large iron cage. The chains were threaded through the cage, which held a living creature resembling a cultivator. The cultivator had his head hanging low and his hair disheveled, with many streaks of blood flowing from his body.

Then came the scene of the talisman returning along the same path.

Shen Yao: "Yunhe, look at that thing in the fifth room. The blood streaks floating on its body, aren't they the same ones that came out of the body of that pervert on the night of the Longevity Festival?"

Feng Yu: "It does look very similar. The blood vessels on the outside may have come from it."

Then we must go into the underground palace and kill it.

But the underground palace is ten miles underground, how can we get in?

We can't just dig here with magical artifacts, can we?

How long will it take to dig?

Since the underground palace has appeared in the secret realm in this way, it must be meant to lure cultivators to explore it. There must be another way to get to the underground palace from here.
