"It seems Suibai...really is as the rumors say. As long as we stay quiet and still, he won't attack Human Cultivators," the young girl in colorful clothing thought.

She hugged the little blue cat, her stunning face slightly pale. She remained completely still, awaiting Suibai's inspection.

Suibai stepped before the young girl.

However, for some unknown reason, he hesitated. Looking at the young girl, his uncanny and ominous eyes suddenly betrayed a bout of madness.

"HEHE!"

Suibai laughed eerily again, prompting the faces of the onlookers to pale once more.

The girl in colorful clothing held her breath, straining her eyes wide open.

She knew that Suibai disliked people closing their eyes during his inspections. It gave him the impression that they were hiding something.

Keeping her eyes wide open, on the other hand, greatly increased the chances of passing.

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, which had hidden its head within its fluffy belly to sleep, suddenly sensed Suibai's arrival.

"Eh, this guy's cultivation base is not low at all; he's actually reached the True God Realm!"

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon released a strand of Divine Sense, examining Suibai's body, and was somewhat taken aback.

It was indeed rare to find a True God in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land. Didn't the Master say this place didn't even have a single True God? How come there's one hidden in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land?

However, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon quickly detected that Suibai's aura was unstable, fluctuating between strong and weak. Moreover, his cultivation base seemed intentionally concealed. If it hadn't reached the Divine Monarch Realm, it would have likely been unable to discern Suibai's true cultivation base.

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon decided that if this Suibai had any ill intentions, it would slap him to death with a single strike.

Suibai's gaze remained fixed on the little blue cat.

The madness in his eyes grew increasingly intense.

"AH!"

It was unclear what he sensed, but he suddenly cried out, turned, and rushed into the surrounding black fog, disappearing from sight.

"He's finally gone."

The girl in colorful clothing let out a long sigh of relief, her expression softening.

She didn't know why Suibai hadn't inspected her and had instead suddenly gone mad.

However, legend had it that Suibai himself was a madman.

Within the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, many tales of Suibai's various mad exploits circulated.

"Miss, Suibai has gone mad again. It's actually a good thing. Otherwise, I was truly afraid he might do something terrifying," a young man said with a wry smile.

"Let's go!"

The girl in colorful clothing smiled faintly and immediately led her people away from this Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

The Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon yawned, not giving Suibai's matter a second thought, and curled up to continue its deep sleep.

...

「Below the first Heavenly Mechanism Tower.」

Mu Qing and Cat Bao'er each held Spirit Stones, absorbing Spiritual Energy while simultaneously expelling the toxins from their bodies.

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, their bodies returned to normal.

After opening her eyes, a look of astonishment appeared on Mu Qing's face.

"Sect Master, it seems the Divine Nature contained in these Spirit Stones also has some kind of suppressive effect on toxins!"

Mu Qing conveyed this to Luo Li via voice transmission, a mix of surprise and delight in her tone. Since there were many Cultivators nearby, she naturally didn't dare reveal the secret of the Spirit Stones.

Fortunately, these Spirit Stones looked extremely ordinary, no different from the Spirit Stones on the Cangnan Continent, except that the Spiritual Energy inside was filled with the profoundness of Divine Nature.

"Is that so? If that's the case, then if you absorb more Spirit Stones, the more Divine Nature you accumulate in your bodies, the more you'll be able to suppress the toxins from these strange creatures in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land," Luo Li replied, pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Mu Qing said with a smile. Then, she communicated with Cat Bao'er again, and they both decided to accelerate their absorption of the Spirit Stones.

Thus, both of them held a Spirit Stone in each hand and began to rapidly absorb them.

"Senior Sister, let's set off again..." Jun Moxiao said, eager to try.

He felt a bit frustrated for not having obtained anything since entering the Nether Immortal Ancient Land.

After all, when he first entered the Heavenly Moon Secret Region, Jun Moxiao had obtained quite a few Tianyue Osmanthus Fruits.

This time, on the trip to the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, he naturally also wanted to obtain more Divine Element Longevity Fruits.

Although Longevity Fruits have different grades, the lowest can increase one's lifespan by a hundred years, while the highest can increase it by as much as three thousand years.

Generally speaking, an Eternal Realm Cultivator in the Cangnan Continent can live for at most ten thousand years.

If one could consume a top-quality Divine Element Longevity Fruit, their lifespan would instantly increase by three thousand years.

One could imagine... just how important these Divine Element Longevity Fruits were.

However, a Divine Element Longevity Fruit that grants three thousand years of life is extremely rare.

Each time the Nether Immortal Ancient Land opens, finding even two or three such Divine Element Longevity Fruits would be considered a good haul.

Lower-quality Divine Element Longevity Fruits appeared more frequently.

Moreover, Divine Element Longevity Fruits usually grew in the depths of the mountain ranges within the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, surrounded by many strange creatures. Snatching them from the tiger's mouth, as it were, was naturally very difficult.

"Let's go!" Luo Li said.

The group immediately left this Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

Not long after leaving the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, they were attacked by a swarm of Ghost Moths.

However, this time, the number of Ghost Moths wasn't large. After a short battle, these Ghost Moths all dispersed.

Everyone continued forward.

Upon reaching the second Heavenly Mechanism Tower, the six of them paused for a while before continuing on their journey.

Thus, along the way, they continuously killed those strange creatures, steadily advancing towards the depths of the Nether Immortal Ancient Land.

Since the mountain ranges near the entrance had already been swept clean by other Cultivators, Luo Li and her group found no Divine Element Longevity Fruits.

According to Mu Qing's speculation, they would need to advance to at least the vicinity of the twentieth Heavenly Mechanism Tower to have a chance of finding Divine Element Longevity Fruits.

Since they had entered relatively late, they naturally needed to speed up if they wanted to obtain any Divine Element Longevity Fruits.

On their first day, this team of six rushed all the way to the ninth Heavenly Mechanism Tower before stopping to rest.

"This is infuriating! We've killed so many Ghost Moths and Shadow Crows along the way, but we haven't spotted a single Divine Element Longevity Fruit!" Big Black Cat grumbled resentfully.

"There's no need to be too anxious. The Ancestor gave us three months to operate. This is just the first day," Su Wanyi said with a faint smile.

"That's true. Haste makes waste..." Big Black Cat scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.

He glanced at Cat Bao'er and saw that the little cat was already holding a Spirit Stone in each paw, continuously absorbing them.

"You little rascal, Cat Bao'er! Absorbing Spirit Stones without even calling me!" Big Black Cat scolded angrily. He plopped down beside Cat Bao'er, took out two Spirit Stones, and also began to absorb them.

The Spirit Stones contained Divine Nature, which was of immense help to the growth of their cultivation.

Therefore, even though they only rested for one night in the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, their cultivation bases were progressing rapidly.

"Do I still need to remind you of this?" Cat Bao'er opened her eyes and said, looking at Big Black Cat reproachfully.

Big Black Cat's face darkened, and he ignored her.

The others were also preparing to absorb Spirit Stones when they suddenly heard a series of roars coming from within the fog.

"It's Suibai!"

A Cultivator abruptly shot to his feet, standing ramrod straight and motionless, a look of terror on his face.
