Beneath the third Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

Long after Suibai disappeared, everyone finally let out a breath of relief, their movements regaining freedom.

Most people did not approach the black fog; instead, they sat cross-legged on the ground.

Everyone involuntarily exchanged glances, all seeing surprise and shock in each other's eyes.

Suibai had spoken for the very first time.

Not only did it speak, but it also led those six people away.

Could it be, as some cultivators guessed, that Suibai fancied fresh blood and had taken those young people for that reason?

With nothing else to do, everyone began to discuss amongst themselves.

For a while, the area around the third Heavenly Mechanism Tower became unusually lively.

「...」

Following Suibai was remarkably smooth.

The uncanny creatures all stepped aside. The six of them advanced without the slightest effort and had already surpassed the twentieth Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

Suibai's strides never halted.

It continued walking deeper into the fog, and they had no idea where it would ultimately lead them.

"Elder Sister, why do I keep having this feeling of trepidation?" Jun Moxiao asked Su Wanyi quietly, his face revealing a hint of fear as he gazed at the roiling black fog.

"The black fog here is denser, and its toxicity is even stronger. It could give birth to even more terrifying uncanny creatures. Although Suibai is here, we still have to be extremely careful," Su Wanyi said with a solemn expression.

From beginning to end, although Suibai hadn't attacked them and had even driven away many uncanny creatures along the way, who could truly fathom Suibai's intentions?

Within the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, the deeper one ventured, the thicker the black fog became, and the stronger the toxins.

Therefore, the further they went, the taller the Heavenly Mechanism Towers became.

This meant that the prowess of the Heavenly Mechanism Towers was increasing.

If their prowess wasn't strong enough, cultivators entering these depths would find it as difficult as ascending to the heavens to quickly expel the toxins from their bodies.

They once again hastily passed the twenty-first Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

However, because of the distance, all they could see was a silver orb of light flickering in the black fog.

Precisely because of this, the cultivators around that Heavenly Mechanism Tower did not see them.

This also prevented any world-startling commotion.

After crossing another mountain ridge, Suibai slightly quickened its pace and entered a valley. It suddenly turned, bypassed a huge rock, and then abruptly stood still.

Luo Li and the others quickly followed.

"What is this?"

The six of them widened their eyes, staring dumbfoundedly at the mountain hollow ahead. A half-meter-tall green sapling grew there, its leaves sparse, bearing only a single, lonely, emerald-green fruit.

"This is a Divine Element Longevity Fruit!" Mu Qing suddenly exclaimed.

As the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, her knowledge was naturally vast, so she recognized the Divine Element Longevity Fruit instantly.

"So that's the Divine Element Longevity Fruit."

Luo Li's expression instantly turned peculiar. Could it be that Suibai had led them all this way just to bring them to this Divine Element Longevity Fruit? What was all this about? Was it waiting for them to eat the Divine Element Longevity Fruit, only to devour them afterward?

Luo Li suddenly felt uneasy. She glanced towards her Elder Sister, blinked, and refrained from acting rashly.

Big Black Cat, at the very front, also froze, staring blankly at the Divine Element Longevity Fruit. From that small, emerald-green fruit, he sensed a vigorous life essence.

It was just like the Eternal Life Immortal Grass from before.

However, with Suibai's back to him, Big Black Cat dared not act rashly.

He also feared unintentionally irritating Suibai and being swatted to death.

If they were outside, Big Black Cat would naturally be fearless, afraid of no one.

The carriage full of great demons outside all possessed heaven-defying combat strength and feared nothing.

But now, in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, no one could help, and they could only rely on themselves for survival.

Suibai suddenly turned around.

In its eerie and uncanny eyes, a hint of pleasant surprise unexpectedly appeared.

"For… you!" a mechanical and hoarse voice rang out.

For us? After leading us all this way, was it really going to give us the Divine Element Longevity Fruit? How could such a good thing happen in this world?

All six of them were stunned.

They looked at each other, faces etched with astonishment. Under their mutual gaze, no one dared to act rashly, fearing this was a trap set by Suibai.

Seeing that the six people before it made no move, Suibai pointed a finger at the little green sapling.

The implication was clear—go pick the Divine Element Longevity Fruit.

"Sect Master, it seems we have no choice but to pick the Divine Element Longevity Fruit. Why don't I go?" Big Black Cat volunteered, swallowing hard.

With his Emperor Artifact Walking Boots and his Destiny Realm cultivation base, he felt it was his responsibility under these circumstances.

"Alright, be careful," Luo Li nodded, not forgetting to add a word of caution.

Big Black Cat acknowledged and slowly made his way towards the little green sapling.

This little green sapling was, of course, a Divine Longevity Tree.

A typical Divine Longevity Tree would bear one Divine Element Longevity Fruit.

But some might bear two or three.

The maximum was never more than three.

Therefore, every single Divine Element Longevity Fruit was extremely precious.

To reach the little green sapling, Big Black Cat had to pass Suibai. Feeling the terrifying Super Divine Dragon Breath emanating from Suibai, Big Black Cat's heart pounded even more violently. He was afraid that Suibai, this mad entity, would suddenly lash out.

If an Eternal Realm uncanny creature launched a sneak attack, even with his Teleportation Boots, he wouldn't be able to escape.

To distract himself, Big Black Cat secretly sent a voice transmission to Mu Qing, "Mu Qing, how old do you think this Divine Element Longevity Fruit is?"

"It should be about five hundred years old," Mu Qing replied, her eyes slightly narrowed as she gave her assessment.

Big Black Cat nodded.

Suibai was now right in front of him, less than a meter away. Big Black Cat's heart pounded wildly; he held his breath and silently moved past Suibai.

Suibai did not make a move on him.

By the time Big Black Cat reached the small Divine Longevity Tree, Suibai hadn't moved at all, standing there like a giant statue.

Big Black Cat let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed he had been somewhat paranoid. Since Suibai had led them all this way, there was really no need for it to attack them now.

Big Black Cat reached out and grasped the Divine Element Longevity Fruit.

The five people behind him held their breath, anxiously watching Big Black Cat's movements.

SNAP!

Big Black Cat grabbed the Divine Element Longevity Fruit and gently plucked it from the tree.

He shot Suibai a wary glance and, finding it indifferent, couldn't help but let out another sigh of relief.

He slowly retraced his steps.

When he reached Luo Li, Suibai still hadn't budged. Only then did everyone finally breathe a collective sigh of relief.

It seemed... Suibai truly didn't harbor any ill intentions.

But why would Suibai bring them here to find the Divine Element Longevity Fruit?

"Sect Master, this is for you." Big Black Cat presented the Divine Element Longevity Fruit to Luo Li with both hands.

Luo Li took the Divine Element Longevity Fruit and sniffed it lightly. She immediately felt an indescribable cool and comfortable sensation spread through her internal organs.

"Good!" Suibai's hoarse voice suddenly uttered a puzzling remark.

Good? What was good about it?

Big Black Cat was startled and quickly turned to look at Suibai.
