"Sect Master, in about half an incense stick's time, we will reach the entrance to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land."

On a Celestial Boat, six figures stood. Mu Qing, heroic and dashing in her black attire, stood at the forefront, gazing into the distance and speaking with a smile.

She was at Destiny Realm Level Eight, possessing the highest cultivation base among them. As the Sect Master of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, it was a simple matter for her to produce a small Celestial Boat for travel.

While speaking, she clutched a Spirit Stone, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy imbued with Divine Nature from it.

It wasn't just Mu Qing; the other five also held Spirit Stones.

These were Spirit Stones from the Divine Land, unobtainable anywhere else on the Cangnan Continent. Absorbing these stones allowed their cultivation bases to improve rapidly.

Therefore, everyone was racing against time, constantly absorbing spiritual energy from their Spirit Stones.

"We're finally almost there! Senior Sister and Little Junior Brother have both been to immortal lands or Secret Realms for training before. This time, it's finally my turn!" Luo Li exclaimed.

"Senior Sister, last time I went to the Heavenly Moon Secret Region, I met a lot of monkeys. It was quite fun," Jun Moxiao said, chuckling as he recalled the interesting events there.

That time, he had formed a small team with Lei Qinian. The two coordinated perfectly, their teamwork seamless.

They stirred up considerable trouble within the entire Heavenly Moon Secret Region. Even the major powers, with their thousands of cultivators, couldn't do anything to them.

"It's a pity the Old Ancestor didn't let me go that time…" Luo Li sighed, a look of disappointment on her small face.

Whenever she heard her Little Junior Brother talk about the monkeys in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region, her heart felt as if it were full of little monkeys jumping around, scratching their ears and cheeks, making her feel antsy. She desperately wished she could have entered the Heavenly Moon Secret Region too.

"Senior Sister, aren't we going together this time?" Jun Moxiao smiled nonchalantly.

"That's true!" Luo Li laughed.

「...」

Amidst their chatter and laughter, they soon arrived at the entrance to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land.

The entrance to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land was located in a towering valley, where a massive Bronze Door, dozens of meters high, stood.

The door was slightly ajar. Wisps of black fog continuously wafted out from the crevices.

The Bronze Door and the black fog presented an extremely shocking and exceptionally bizarre sight.

Fortunately, it was daytime. If it were nighttime and they suddenly encountered a Bronze Door continuously emitting black fog, it would be quite terrifying.

It was as if the gates of the Nine Soul Nether Hell had suddenly appeared in the territory of the Nether Immortal Dynasty. It seemed possible that at any moment, terrifying creatures from Hell might swarm out.

The six figures descended from the Celestial Boat. With a wave of her hand, Mu Qing stored it away.

"Mu Qing, during your time at the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, have you ever visited this Nether Immortal Ancient Land?" Luo Li asked in a low voice, looking at the Bronze Door with slightly raised eyebrows.

Mu Qing answered respectfully, "Sect Master, I have not. The Heavenly Sun Dynasty and the Nether Immortal Dynasty are as incompatible as fire and water. Our Heavenly Moon Dynasty is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Sun Dynasty, so we dared not enter the territory of the Nether Immortal Dynasty."

Her words had barely faded when a large Celestial Boat rapidly approached from the distance.

"Make way!"

As the large Celestial Boat drew near, a furious roar came from aboard, ordering Luo Li and the others out of their path.

Seeing their aggressive approach, Luo Li frowned. She took a deep breath and promptly signaled her companions to step aside.

Their small team consisted of only six people, and their overall strength wasn't particularly high. Therefore, she didn't want to initiate any conflict. If they could endure it, they would.

After all, the other party was numerous and powerful, boasting many high-level cultivators, including a large number in the Destiny Realm. Their strength far surpassed that of her group.

From the Celestial Boat, a flurry of figures flickered, and over a hundred people descended.

Most of them were cultivators at the Destiny Realm, with some at the Nirvana Realm.

Their leader, a young man in a gold robe, possessed a noble aura and an arrogant, untamable gaze. His cultivation base had reached Destiny Realm Level Eight.

"Which power do you belong to?" the gold-robed young man squinted at Luo Li and her companions. "With just a few of you, do you think you're going in there to die?"

When he noticed two members of the Demon Clan among them, he couldn't help but sneer, giving a pair of cold chuckles.

Seeing the gold-robed youth's outrageous arrogance, it wasn't Luo Li who was angered first, but the Big Black Cat beside her.

"Sect Master, should I teach them a lesson?" the Big Black Cat asked, grinding his teeth.

"They're quite strong. We... should probably avoid conflict," Luo Li said after a moment's thought.

Actually, she didn't want to bother the Old Ancestor. The entrance to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land wasn't far from where the Old Ancestor was. Their current predicament was likely already within his enlightened sight. If a conflict erupted, they would still need the Old Ancestor to intervene to handle those people. Luo Li truly didn't want to trouble the Old Ancestor. For this training expedition, they couldn't rely on him for everything, could they? If they needed the Old Ancestor's help before even entering the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, who would be there to assist them once they were truly inside?

"You, a member of the Demon Clan, dare to talk about teaching *me*, this young master, a lesson? I think you lot are truly seeking death!"

The gold-robed youth's expression shifted. Hearing the black-clothed youth's words, a flash of anger crossed his face, and he spoke coldly.

His words had barely faded when seven or eight cultivators at the Destiny Realm rushed out from behind him, lunging towards Luo Li and her party.

"Go!" Luo Li shouted, dashing towards the Bronze Door.

The others followed closely. In the blink of an eye, they passed through the Bronze Door and vanished.

"They sure run fast!" The gold-robed youth raised an eyebrow and let out a pair of extremely arrogant laughs.

He stared at the Bronze Door, frowning. "So this is the entrance to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land? It truly is rather strange..."

"Young Master, there are many bizarre creatures here. It's a very dangerous place," a young man beside him said.

"Fortune favors the brave! Let's go!"

After a few seconds of silence, the gold-robed youth decisively clenched his jaw. With a swift movement, he was the first to charge towards the Bronze Door.

The dozens of others also followed closely, entering the Bronze Door one after another.

In Luo Li's mind, the wisp of Ye Yun's Primordial Spirit sensed her current thoughts and felt somewhat bemused. This child not wanting to trouble him... her reasoning wasn't actually wrong. Jun Moxiao and Lei Qinian, just the two of them, had managed to contend with the three major Sects in the Heavenly Moon Secret Region. Ye Yun hoped that this six-person team led by Luo Li could also adeptly navigate difficult situations. He hoped that Luo Li, the young 298th generation Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect, would mature quickly. Life isn't always smooth sailing. When facing pressure and adversity, making appropriate compromises and understanding when to advance and when to retreat—that is how one truly grows. After all, he, the Old Ancestor, couldn't protect them for their entire lives.

Upon entering the Bronze Door, the six of them suddenly plunged into a world permeated by black fog.

The black fog was relatively thin, and visibility was still acceptable. However, this black fog possessed a certain corrosive property.

It continuously seeped in through their facial orifices and pores, and even using Mana couldn't block it.

"This fog is poisonous!" Mu Qing suddenly exclaimed.

"Is it poisonous?" Jun Moxiao asked in surprise. He checked himself but didn't find the fog affecting him in any way.

"Sect Master, you all go hide up ahead. I'll deal with these people for a bit," the Big Black Cat said suddenly, his eyes darting around.

"How can you, alone, be a match for so many of them?" Luo Li asked anxiously.

"The Old Master gifted me a pair of Teleportation Boots. They're enough for me to contend with them. Besides, this fog doesn't seem to affect me either," the Big Black Cat chuckled.

Luo Li had a moment of sudden understanding.

The Big Black Cat possessed a pair of Emperor Artifact Teleportation Boots, which he had already fully refined, allowing him to move at lightning speed. Back in the Nine Soul Underground Palace, he had devoured a significant amount of Eternal Life Immortal Grass, making his physical body extremely tough, so this black fog couldn't affect him.
