After the Immortal Venerates recovered, they glanced at the remaining Immortal Venerates present. When they discovered that only twenty were left, a sense of despair welled up in their hearts.

At this moment, one Immortal Venerate, trembling, said, "Even if they came into contact with that black fog, they should be fine, right."

No one could answer this question, as it was their first time encountering a black fog infused with a mysterious power. Everyone's eyes turned to Star River Immortal Venerate, hoping to get a response from him.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Star River Immortal Venerate said, "Even if they managed to escape, their bodies might have been eroded by the mysterious power. It's possible they could turn into mysterious creatures one day."

Hearing Star River Immortal Venerate's answer, everyone fell into silence.

Initially, they thought this mission to reinforce the sealing carried no danger, yet ten Immortal Venerates did not return this time.

These are Immortal Venerates!

Aside from the Immortal Emperor, Immortal Venerates are already at the pinnacle of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, and yet merely reinforcing a seal for mysterious creatures cost them ten Immortal Venerates.

Even great wars between Super Immortal Sects wouldn't see ten Immortal Venerates fall in such a short period.

In the past, the Northern Domain's siege of the Demon Emperor only cost a few Immortal Venerates.

For a while, the Immortal Venerates present fell into silence, and the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.

At this point, Star River Immortal Venerate said, "Now you all understand the immense threat of the mysterious creatures. If we can't reinforce all the seals and those mysterious creatures completely break free, destruction is all that awaits the Tianyan Immortal Domain."

"Even if, in the end, the Demon Emperor triumphs over the mysterious army, the Tianyan Immortal Domain would already be in ruins, and your forces would be devastated by the mysterious army. Who knows how many legacies will vanish in the great battle to come."

At this moment, the Immortal Venerates present totally shed any underestimation they had of the mysterious creatures.

Then, Star River Immortal Venerate cast another glance at the perilous land before speaking again, "Alright, let's head back. We must inform the other teams. With just the power we have, it seems difficult to seal this perilous place."

As he finished speaking, Star River Immortal Venerate brought out the Immortal Ship, then jumped aboard, piloting it towards White Rainbow Immortal City.

Meanwhile.

Somewhere on a peak within the Sunset Mountain Range.

The battle ships of various Immortal Venerates rested on the peak, forming a temporary camp.

A group of Immortal Venerates gathered together, discussing where to go next to seal which perilous lands.

Unlike Star River Immortal Venerate's team, the team led by Xiyue Immortal Venerable was relatively aggressive in action. They sent ten people, diving into the depths of the Sunset Mountain Range to scout and mark perilous lands, after which the remaining twenty Immortal Venerates went to seal them.

In recent times, the ten Immortal Venerates who ventured deeper into the Sunset Mountain Range discovered over a dozen perilous lands. However, because their efficiency in reinforcing seals was so high, the Immortal Venerates responsible for reinforcing were significantly worn out, prompting them to halt and rest once more.

Unlike the tension surrounding Star River Immortal Venerate, the atmosphere under Xiyue Immortal Venerable's leadership was noticeably relaxed.

"I never expected there to be so many perilous lands within the Sunset Mountain Range."

"Yeah, fortunately, sealing these perilous lands isn't too difficult."

"At this rate, perhaps within a year, we can seal all the perilous lands of the Sunset Mountain Range."

"I wonder how many perilous lands other teams have sealed up so far."

…

As the Immortal Venerates exchanged words, Lu Chen, who was meditating with closed eyes beside Xiyue Immortal Venerable, suddenly opened his eyes. He scanned the Immortal Venerates present and said, "A team has encountered trouble; we need to return to White Rainbow Immortal City."

The Immortal Venerates were momentarily stunned at Lu Chen's sudden remark. They didn't doubt his words, given that every team had a clone of Lu Chen. They were merely puzzled, as these perilous lands weren't seen as especially dangerous, so how could something have gone wrong?

Xiyue Immortal Venerable asked, "What happened?"

Lu Chen replied, "The team led by Star River Immortal Venerate discovered a vast perilous land in the depths of the Sunset Mountain Range, which actively attacked them. Ten of their Immortal Venerates were swallowed by the perilous land's eerie black fog. They are currently on their way back."

This...

This statement rendered the Immortal Venerates present momentarily stunned.

Ten Immortal Venerates were swallowed?

They instantly grasped the gravity of the situation.

Xiyue Immortal Venerable didn't hesitate and immediately instructed the Immortal Venerates, "Return to White Rainbow Immortal City immediately!"

Subsequently, Xiyue Immortal Venerable returned to the Immortal Ship, manipulating it to fly towards White Rainbow Immortal City while Lu Chen simultaneously controlled his other two bodies to inform Immortal Venerable Cang Ya and Immortal Venerable Wan Jie of what had happened to Star River Immortal Venerate's team.

A month later, all four teams returned to White Rainbow Immortal City.

Star River Immortal Venerate immediately convened an assembly of Immortal Venerates. In the sky above, the expressions of the Immortal Venerates were extremely grave.

They noticed that Star River Immortal Venerate's team was indeed short by ten members.

At this time, Star River Immortal Venerate said to the crowd, "Lu Chen should have informed you of the situation we encountered. This is what happened in that perilous land."

As he spoke, Star River Immortal Venerate placed his finger on his brow and then conjured a Memory Pearl. At the next moment, he pointed his finger towards the sky, and the Memory Pearl flew into the sky. The scenes from the Memory Pearl appeared high above.

Upon seeing the perilous land, spanning hundreds of kilometers, the Immortal Venerates present fell into silence. Since they began reinforcing seals within the Sunset Mountain Range, it was their first time witnessing such a vast perilous land.

More terrifying was the massive vortex in the center of the perilous land. If that vortex's seal were to completely fail, who knows how many mysterious creatures might emerge from that vortex.

When the memory from the Memory Pearl finished playing, an Immortal Venerate inquired, "Is it possible that they might still be alive? They are Immortal Venerates, after all; it shouldn't be so easy for them to fall."

Star River Immortal Venerate said, "It's certainly possible."

"But the mysterious power can transform Immortal Venerates into mysterious creatures. Even if they made it out alive, they might not still be themselves, having potentially transformed into mysterious creatures."

Upon hearing this from Star River Immortal Venerate, the Immortal Venerates returned to silence, refraining from speaking for a long while.

Now they truly realized the danger tied to reinforcing the seals. At first, they thought it was a simple task, but unexpectedly, ten Immortal Venerates encountered trouble all at once.

In the Tianyan Immortal Domain, any power that possesses Immortal Venerates is considered a major force. If those ten Immortal Venerates truly perished, those ten forces would swiftly decline.

Finally, after a long pause, Immortal Venerable Wan Jie spoke, saying, "There's no need for excessive pessimism, fellow Daoists. The priority is sealing that perilous place. Maybe when we head to that perilous land, we might encounter them escaping from it."

"It takes time for mysterious power to transform a person into a mysterious creature; it doesn't happen simply by contact. As long as one's will is strong enough, they won't easily become mysterious creatures."
