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

Jiang Ming seized on another key point: "Don't you have many gods in your Outer Heavens? How come, from what you're saying, their lifespans are all very short?"

Shen Yao reached out and picked up a fruit from the stone table, took a bite, ate it with her mouth full, and casually told him, "It depends on your aptitude."

After she finished speaking, she felt a warm current flow from her right shoulder to her tailbone, which felt smooth and comfortable. She was overjoyed, realizing that her earth spirit root had grown well!

I glanced at Jiang Ming; I need to get this guy out of here.

She couldn't wait to test her earth elemental power.

She thought to herself, 'Jiang Ming probably doesn't know I'm developing an earth elemental root, right? I haven't heard him ask about it.'

She took another bite of fruit: "Where did you lock Shi Bao up?"

Jiang Ming poured her a glass of water: "Shi Bao is my son, how could I lock him up?"

Shen Yao took the water and drank a sip, then casually asked, "Where did Shi Bao go?"

Jiang Ming: "He went into seclusion to cultivate with his master."

Shen Yao: "Where is Feng Yu? Where did you lock him up?"

Jiang Ming replied irrelevantly, "You don't mind that he's old."

"So what? I'm younger than you anyway." She threw the half-eaten fruit on the ground: "I don't want to eat fruit anymore. Every meal is either fruit or dried meat. I want rice and vegetables, hot and freshly made."

This sudden outburst of temper was unlike her usual self. Jiang Ming's spiritual sense probed her shoulders and back, and he understood. "I'll give you one chance and see what tricks you're up to." "Wait for me, I'll be right back."

Once she guessed that Jiang Ming had gone far away, Shen Yao immediately used her earth elemental power to carve out the stone wall above her at the location she had chosen long ago.

It was my first time using earth elemental power, and I wasn't very skilled at it. My clumsy technique loosened the earth and stones, and rocks started falling from the ceiling with a clatter.

"Faster! Faster!" Seeing that there was hope, her confidence grew, and she continued to dig tirelessly.

The stone door behind us slowly opened, making a commotion.

Startled, Shen Yao stopped and looked towards the stone gate, where Jiang Ming stood quietly watching her.

His hands were empty; he wasn't carrying a food box.

They fell for their trap and got caught red-handed.

Jiang Ming approached step by step, his gaze deep and unfathomable, a half-smile playing on his lips.

His current state is even more terrifying than if he were to lose his temper directly.

Shen Yao decided to start by scolding him. She began to reprimand him in a serious tone: "Why are you back so soon? Where's the food? This ceiling is of such poor quality. It started crumbling as soon as you left, and it almost hit me. It's a complete shoddy construction project. Fine, I won't blame you. Just fix it. If you can't fix it, then this is how it is."

Jiang Ming's lips curled up as he looked at the large hole in the ceiling: "The quality is indeed too poor."

He channeled his earth elemental energy, and the ceiling was quickly restored to its original state. In front of Shen Yao, he set up a restriction on the entire dark room, reached out and lifted her chin, pinching her dimple with his fingers: "It's sealed off on all sides, so there won't be any more crumbs. Be good, I'll go get you some food."

……

Feng Yu carefully examined the dark room, leaving no stone unturned. He removed the remaining squares on the wall and inspected the wall behind him.

It's been a very long time, I wonder if Yanzhou is still in the same place.

The location he sensed was not far from here, just behind the alchemy room.

Behind the alchemy room is the medicinal herb field. If Yanzhou were still there, he would surely be imprisoned underground as well.

The thought of his beloved wife being imprisoned in a dark and sunless underground filled him with murderous intent towards Jiang Ming.

If I had known Jiang Ming was so difficult to deal with, I shouldn't have invited him to the treasure appraisal event in the first place.

Feng Yu thought about it carefully. He wrote all the invitations to the treasure appraisal event, but he didn't write an invitation to Jiang Ming. So who invited this troublesome snake?

The Feng family and the True God Sect have always kept to themselves. Considering Jiang Ming's style, Feng Yu felt that this shameless guy had most likely come uninvited.

Uninvited... Feng Yu frowned, recalling his confrontation with him at the treasure appraisal meeting, when his spiritual sense was guarding Yan Zhou's side.

He had his eye on Yanzhou for a long time and had been following it to Qiwu City!

Does Yanzhou know about this? Why hasn't he mentioned it?

The more Feng Yu thought about it, the more agitated she became. She sat down to meditate, activated a mind-clearing technique, and focused on finding the array point to lift the barrier.

As the ice on the ground gradually melted, Feng Yu put the dozen or so beast corpses, whose cores had been removed, into his storage ring.

By habit, they are all good materials for making Lingbao (a type of magical artifact).

When he collected one of the beast carcasses, he found an overturned incense burner underneath it.

The beast's belly was covered in blood, but the incense burner, which was placed on top of the beast's belly, was spotless.

His brow twitched, and he took out a tiny, insect-shaped magical artifact, which flew into the gap in the incense burner to examine it.

There's nothing special about the incense burner; it's just an ordinary incense burner.

He was somewhat disappointed; he felt tricked.

Where exactly are the array points or mechanisms?

Flip... flip... he thought back to all the mechanisms and formations that flipped space. When space flips, there must be a switching point.

The point of transition is the source of the spatial reversal.

After searching for so long, there is no spiritual source in the room. The spiritual source should be inside the wall.

But these four walls cannot be broken through.

Jiang Ming is an Immortal Ancestor, and so is he; it's not like he can't break through Jiang Ming's forbidden realm.

Unless the forbidden zone was set up by Jiang Qi, the Immortal Venerable.

But Jiang Qi had already gone to the battlefield, and Shi Bao only began learning alchemy two months after she left.

The chances of Jiang Qi setting up a forbidden barrier against him are slim.

What kind of restriction can't be broken by those of the same level?

The forbidden realm that is set up in this world and cannot be broken... the forbidden realm!

The simplest method, one that anyone can use and anyone at the same level can solve.

Jiang Ming was betting that he thought things were complicated and wouldn't expect that what trapped him would be the simplest forbidden realm.

The ceiling and floor cannot be broken through. If it were a forbidden realm, it would definitely be set up along the entire dark room, with a compressed orientation.

Just try and you will find out.

With a flick of his fingers, he gathered spiritual energy and released the seal, then used his spiritual power to attack the wall, which indeed created a crater.

It really is the realm of forbidden items.

Fortunately, I am not a stubborn array master.

Otherwise, you'll never get out of here, even if you stay here your whole life.

With the forbidden zone lifted, there was no need to search for the flipping mechanism. He simply blasted through the ceiling, flew out, affixed an invisibility talisman, and quickly headed to the medicinal field behind the alchemy room.

Halfway there, he returned to the corridor of the alchemy room.

The medicinal herb field was full of high-grade spiritual plants. Jiang Ming wouldn't have dug up the medicinal herb field to create a passage. When they parted in the hall, Yan Zhou went to Shi Bao's alchemy room through the corridor. The passage should be inside the alchemy room.

Feng Yu entered the alchemy room silently, looked around at the furnishings, and then focused his gaze on the medicine cabinet.

If there is an underground entrance, it is either on the ground or inside a wall.

His intuition told him that the location he sensed was in that direction, hidden in the wall behind the medicine cabinet.

Unsure of the consequences of brute force, he patiently searched for the mechanism.

The mechanism here wasn't difficult; he quickly found and activated it, and the medicine cabinet slid to the right, revealing the stone door inside.

The stone door opened automatically, revealing the stone steps inside, with dim lights on the walls on both sides of the steps.

Without further hesitation, he rushed inside, accompanied by the howling wind…
