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

"Wanwan, don't worry. In a few more days, when all the guest cultivators from the Feng family have arrived, there will be fewer immortal cultivators coming and going from the boundary gate, and we will be able to enter."

In a simple wooden shed near the South Gate, a pale-faced male cultivator lay reclining on a simple wooden couch, advising the female cultivator who was standing at the entrance of the shed observing the situation at the gate: "Wanwan, stop looking, come and sit for a while."

Looking at the long queue at the South Gate, Gou Yue was extremely anxious. She was dressed in a red and black outfit, with a black hat and mask covering most of her face, revealing only her exquisite eyes.

Her pupils were jet black, clearly contrasting with the whites of her eyes. Her eye sockets were deep-set, and the curve of her double eyelids was almost identical. Her eyelashes were thick, black, and long, like raven feathers.

At this moment, those incredibly alluring eyes were filled with worry.

The sickly-looking male cultivator looked at her with concern in his eyes: "Wanwan, stop looking and come here."

Gou Yue sighed, turned around and walked to Ning Yuan's bed, sat down next to it, and said anxiously, "How can I not worry? It's been three days, and there are still so many guest cultivators at the Southern Realm Gate. We can't find a chance to get in! The treasure appraisal meeting will start in two more days."

"Cough cough cough." Ning Yuan wanted to say something, but couldn't help coughing violently.

Gou Yue gently stroked his back, her beautiful, watery eyes seeming to well up with tears.

Ning Yuan recovered and whispered to Gou Yue, "Wanwan, even if we get the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Yin Fruit, my injuries might not heal..."

"Don't be discouraged!" Gou Yue scolded gently, "A Yuan, I will definitely heal you, no matter what the cost."

Ning Yuan knew he couldn't persuade her, so he said no more.

Gou Yue: "These ten-thousand-year twin fruits only grow in the realm of the Immortal Clan. We infiltrated the Immortal Clan and finally obtained this information; we must obtain the Spirit Yin Fruit..."

As she spoke, Gou Yue's voice trembled slightly with tears: "A Yuan, your injury can't be delayed any longer..."

Ning Yuan has never been able to bear seeing his Wanwan cry since he was a child. It breaks his heart whenever he cries. At this moment, Wanwan was only slightly crying, and he was already heartbroken.

Ning Yuan gently pulled Gou Yue into his arms, comforting her, "Wanwan, don't cry. I'll listen to you, I'll do whatever you say..."

After a while of comforting, Gou Yue finally calmed down and said bitterly, "It's all Jiang Ming's fault! He tricked me out of my Demon Spirit Soil and Crimson Cloud Flower, and then broke his promise. Not only did he not help me find the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Yin Fruit, but he also sent high-ranking cultivators to track and kill us all the way!"

Ning Yuan: "Jiang Ming is ruthless, arrogant, and regards all things as ants."

"Someone like him is probably never one to keep his word... cough cough... Although we're of similar level, his cultivation is now above mine... cough cough... If we encounter him in the future, we'd better avoid him... cough cough cough..."

Gou Yue picked up the warmed medicine pot from the fire spirit stone stove, poured a cup and fed it to Yu Ningyuan: "I know, drink the medicine quickly, don't talk, and rest well."

Ning Yuan obediently drank the medicine and lay down on the simple wooden bed to rest with his eyes closed.

Inside the makeshift wooden shed, coughs could be heard from time to time.

……

In the Demon Realm, a new Mystic Realm has appeared in the Dihe River.

The secret realm is located near the source of the Di River, which is occupied by the Mingshan Sect.

In the midst of constant internal strife, the demon race completely split into two factions.

One group, led by the Mingshan Sect, cultivates by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, just like the immortal and demon races, following the legacy left by the true god.

Another group developed various cultivation techniques with no moral bottom line. Led by the Soul Devouring Sect and the Pleasure Seeking Sect, they devoured the soul cores of their own kind or used aphrodisiacs to absorb the spiritual consciousness of others, thereby rapidly improving their cultivation techniques and even advancing their ranks.

Even demonic cultivators with fifth-grade or higher spiritual roots have used this method to improve their level!

Although the probability of improvement is extremely low, as long as one person succeeds, countless demonic cultivators will rush to practice these evil techniques.

The demon race is inherently prone to bloodlust due to their bloodline inheritance, and now, with the existence of the Soul Devouring Sect and the Pleasure Seeking Sect, the evil cultivators are expanding extremely rapidly.

Nowadays, the traditional cultivators of the demon race mainly live in the eastern part of the demon race's territory, adjacent to the demon race.

Evil cultivators mostly live in the western part of the demon territory, adjacent to the immortal realm.

This has led to endless battles at the border between the immortals and demons. The immortals already deeply resent the demons, and now that evil cultivators are growing stronger and constantly provoking them, the garrison troops at the immortal borders are suffering terribly.

Fortunately, the Underworld Mountain Sect has three Demon Ancestors in charge, Ning Yuan is a Demon Saint with a fourth-grade seventh spiritual root, and there is also the killing god Gou Yue.

The relationship between the Mingshan Sect, the Soul Devouring Sect, and the Pleasure Seeking Sect is relatively balanced.

Until a new true mystery appeared in the Dihe River.

After discovering the secret realm, Ning Yuan immediately blocked the news and increased the garrison at the source of the Di River.

But secrets don't stay hidden forever, and news of a new secret realm appearing at the source of the Di River eventually got out.

In an instant, almost all the high-level demonic cultivators and evil cultivators rushed to the source of the Di River.

What worried Ning Yuan even more was that all the demonic cultivator teams sent by the Mingshan Sect to explore the secret realm had never returned.

Seeing that demonic and evil cultivators from all over the world had reached the lower reaches of the Di River, Ning Yuan decided to explore it himself.

Gouyue naturally had to accompany her.

With the approval of the three Demon Ancestors, Ning Yuan and Gou Yue led a group of demons into the Dihe Secret Realm.

A team of demons was wiped out, and Ning Yuan was seriously injured. Gou Yue risked her life to protect Ning Yuan and escape, only to find that the exit was not at the entrance.

Of the six known true mystical realms, aside from the exit of the Jiaoluo Mystical Realm, which is said to be located on an island not far from the entrance, the entrances to the other realms are also their exits.

Unexpectedly, the exit of the Dihe Secret Realm is not at the entrance.

Gou Yue found herself and Ning Yuan seemingly in a huge underground fissure.

After Ning Yuan recovered somewhat, Gou Yue carried him out of the rift on a flying magical artifact.

During the ascent, Erxiu finally saw the chilling sight inside the crack.

Within that enormous underground fissure, on the ground and on both sides, were countless huge, pulsating, flesh-colored eggs…

After Gouyue and Mingyue ascended into the sky, they found themselves in an unfamiliar mountain range.

Clearly, this mountain range was not a safe place, so Erxiu chose a direction and fled at high speed.

Having finally escaped the mountains, they saw a huge square array barrier in the distance, realizing that this was the territory of the immortals.

Demons and monsters never do these kinds of things.

They had also heard that the immortals had specially developed this kind of square and circular array to cover the city and prevent foreign races from infiltrating.

Neither Gou Yue nor Ning Yuan possessed wood spirit roots, so naturally neither of them had cultivated healing techniques based on wood spirits.

Ning Yuan's condition worsened day by day, and Gou Yue was extremely anxious, yet she could not enter the city.

Later, a medicine cultivator who mainly cultivated the wood elemental root was captured and treated Ning Yuan. Only then did they learn that Ning Yuan's soul core was damaged and his elemental root was about to wither away.

Gou Yue wanted to take Ning Yuan back to the Demon Clan for treatment, but she heard that only the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Yin Fruit offered a glimmer of hope.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Yin Fruit and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spiritual Yang Fruit grow on the same tree, only in the territory of the Immortal Clan, and only once every ten thousand years, appearing in different places each time.

Gou Yue could only stay in the Immortal Clan's territory with Ning Yuan to search for the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Yin Fruit.

Shortly after deciding to stay, they encountered Jiang Ming near Xianmu City.
