Chu Mo completely ignored what Huang Huang implied. He was sitting quietly in the void, eyes closed, replenishing his energy. The vast and infinite area of the Illusion God Lake was calm and quiet, without a hint of movement.

This was in stark contrast to the well-known legends that the Illusion God Lake was a dangerous place, full of life-threatening perils at every step.

Even Luo Ying, Luo Ning, Qin Shi, and Dong Yu, who had already entered, found this situation rather unbelievable.

"We're really lucky today. It used to be difficult to approach the Illusion God Lake, but today it's calm and serene, no troubles at all, seems like a divine assistance!" Dong Yu said, in an attempt to lighten up the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Qin Shi glanced at Luo Ning, whose face still wore a solemn expression. Softly, she chuckled, "Indeed, this is the first time we've successfully entered here. Hopefully, this time, we might get something."

Luo Ying added, "Relax, this time, we're sure to succeed!"

Luo Ning didn't respond. He looked at his brother and thought, 'Even if we manage to obtain the Water of the Five Elements this time... we absolutely cannot give it to these two women that easily. Dong Yu may seem naive, but her cunning is deeper than Qin Shi's! As for Qin Shi… if you want to exclude yourself this early, then at the right time, you'll pay the price, a hefty one.'

Looking at the stunning beauty out of the corner of his eye, a cold feeling seeped into Luo Ning's heart. This time... he wondered how she would refuse.

This space seemed to be under the Illusion God Lake, but it might actually be a separate little world. The four of them entered a tunnel as soon as they arrived.

The walls of the tunnel, naturally formed, were covered in intricate patterns. If one stared at it just a bit longer, even a cultivator at the ascension stage would feel dizzy and nauseous.

"I've heard that places with essence of the Five Elements are their own individual worlds, with unique rules. They also present many opportunities. If one can comprehend them, they can gain great rewards. It seems to be true," Qin Shi spoke as she looked to lighten up her previous tension. She smiled at Luo Ning.

Luo Ning glanced at Qin Shi's intricate face, a grim thought crossed his mind. But he smiled in agreement, "Right, we've all become innate... um, martial artists, right? The realm of Innate probably doesn't even count as a cultivator, does it?"

Luo Ying said, "I think, in such places, we're all equivalent to becoming ordinary people! What is a martial artist... aren't there only ordinary people and cultivators in this world, right?"

The others thought for a moment and nodded, deeming Luo Ying's statement reasonable.

Qin Shi said, "Meaning, everyone has become ordinary people, and it depends on who has stronger qi movement, who will gain more. Then, I suggest the four of us can act separately!"

"Why? Huang Huang is still behind us! What if we encounter him?" Dong Yu immediately thought of the scar-faced man and felt somewhat scared.

" Agreed. As soon as we separate, and if we encounter Huang Huang, it will not end well." Luo Ying added.

As there were no outsiders, there was no need to put on a brave face. Fear was natural, except for Luo Ying, the others had the same realm as Huang Huang, but none of them had confidence in defeating him.

It was rumored that Huang Huang could have already stepped into the Golden Immortal realm. However, he had been consciously suppressing himself, not allowing himself to cross that step. His objective was to completely solidify his Dao fundamentals and break into the Golden Immortal realm at his peak.

Qin Shi, Dong Yu, as well as Luo Ning, could also enter the Golden Immortal realm at any time. However, their combat experience was extremely lacking!

In fact, they practically had no combat experience. All of them had come up by cultivating without any hardship under the protection of their family. They simply could not compare to Huang Huang, who had fought his way up, experiencing countless dangers.

These factors were well-known to them, which is why they did not want to provoke Huang Huang.

Seeing that others disagreed, Qin Shi slightly smiled and said, "Don't forget, Huang Huang is here not to cause trouble. Otherwise, he would have acted before. If I am not wrong, Huang Huang is here to find something, not necessarily the Water of the Five Elements. We can act separately, but don't go too far, so that if something happens, we can quickly gather together. What do you think?"

Qin Shi was well aware that her previous attitude had somewhat hurt Luo Ning. Since Luo Ning wasn't an easy person to deal with, if the four of them stayed together, it won't be easy to obtain the Water of the Five Elements if the Luo brothers found them first.

If they split up, with her Nine Yin physique, she still had a chance to get the Water of the Five Elements.

To make things worse, if it is found by the Luo brothers, she could think of a way to get it from them.

Dong Yu, appearing naive but actually cunning, instantly understood Qin Shi's intentions. She immediately clapped her hands and agreed, "Sister Shishi's idea is also good, we should stick together but also act separately to increase our chances!"

Luo Ning frowned, but after a moment, he smiled and said, "That... is also good!"

Seeing her brother agreed, Luo Ying, of course, had no grounds to object. She nodded and said, "That can also work, but don't go too far away!"

Soon after, they arrived at the end of the tunnel. A large space appeared in front of them with mountains and rivers crisscrossing in the distance. Finally, they entered this small world. The four of them separated and went in different directions.

At this point, Huang Huang had also entered this space through another tunnel. Instead of taking immediate action, he took out a compass and kept adjusting it. Finally, he confirmed a direction and directly headed there.

Above the Illusion God Lake.

After more than half an hour of replenishing his energy, Chu Mo had mostly recovered from his injuries. He wasn't completely healed but was no longer in critical condition.

Under the illumination of the moon, the door above the Illusion God Lake had fully materialized from an outline... to a real entity!

The massive gray stone gate, under the chilling glow of the moonlight, exuded an ancient and vicissitudinous aura. It seemed as if it had weathered many years of existence. The intricate patterns and depictions of birds and beasts that Chu Mo had never seen before, under the moonlight, were vivid and lifelike, as if they could break away from the stone gate at any moment.

It might be an illusion but Chu Mo thought he could hear the roars of the birds and beasts emanating from the stone gate.

"Is this... the real Door to the Small World?" Chu Mo was slightly stunned as he looked at the towering stone gate hundreds of feet tall above the Illusion God Lake. He took a deep breath and flew towards it.

As he reached the gate and was about to take out the Breaking Boundary Pill, unexpectedly, the gate... opened by itself! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote and recommend. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com).
