At the same time, a dense surge of spiritual energy rushed towards them.

This spiritual energy was quite thick, several times denser than that of the mortal realm, which surprised the four of them.

Evidently, the spiritual energy in this small world was quite abundant, to the point of being a blessed land; cultivating here all year round would surely be greatly beneficial for cultivators.

In places where spirit veins and spiritual acupoints converged, the spiritual energy could be even more concentrated.

Areas rich in spiritual energy often give rise to various rare and precious spirit medicines and spiritual materials, and could even nurture some natural spiritual objects.

It is conceivable that this world has already nurtured many heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

No wonder Li Changsheng, Ji Canghai, and their group are scheming for the Flame Dragon Jade Seal.

This small world is undoubtedly a treasure trove!

Whoever controls it will never lack resources for ascending to the Golden Core, Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, or even the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future.

This isn't just a small world; it's clearly a great opportunity. If grasped, eternal life could be within reach!

However, although the spiritual energy here is dense, the void is evidently more stable, and Gu Yuan faintly felt that his cultivation was somewhat limited.

His heart stirred, and he stimulated a wisp of true qi. In an instant, threads of water vapor gathered, merging into a water ball the size of a fist.

"Indeed... my cultivation is somewhat limited."

Gu Yuan pondered; outside, his wisp of true qi could gather a water ball the size of a head, but within the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, it could only condense into a ball the size of a fist.

This indicated that the rules of this world were clearly different.

No wonder Ji Canghai previously mentioned the special conditions within the Red Dragon Immortal Palace, stating that unless one is a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, anyone entering here would be limited.

The higher one's cultivation, the greater the limitation.

Gu Yuan realized that his cultivation power was reduced to one-third, and the cultivations of the other three were higher than his, likely suffering greater impact.

Yet, before Gu Yuan could marvel at the density of spiritual energy and the differences in world rules, his attention was quickly drawn elsewhere.

In front of him, streams of information appeared continuously:

[Dao Rhyme Points +12!]

[Dao Rhyme Points +11!]

[Dao Rhyme Points +13!]

[Dao Rhyme Points +9!]

...

"What's going on, could it be that this world is filled with Dao Rhyme Points everywhere?"

Recalling the notion of world fragments, Gu Yuan pondered, his heart forming a hypothesis.

Although these Dao Rhyme Points appeared sporadically, they would, over time, certainly accumulate a significant amount.

"Just for these Dao Rhyme Points, this trip to the Red Dragon Immortal Palace is worth it!"

Gu Yuan's mood was quite joyful.

Ji Canghai took out a map, glanced over it, and then said to the three of them:

"Gentlemen, look, although this map is not comprehensive, it covers most areas. We are currently in a relatively remote location, farthest from the Black Mud Swamp, with Kuiling Valley and Demon Realm Ridge being next, and closest to Thousand Flame Mountain. Why don't we head to Thousand Flame Mountain now?"

Gu Yuan nodded, saying, "I have no objections."

His purpose for entering this time was simple and pure, to find a few Purple Green Twin Lotus to enhance his cultivation, and some Spirit Iron Divine Gold to reforge his Silver Flood Dragon Sword.

Additionally, it was to hunt some fierce beasts and demons to feed his seven spirit pets and speed up their growth.

As for the objectives of the other three, Gu Yuan had some guesses about Ji Canghai's, but he didn't know about the other two.

Ji Canghai laughed, looking at Duan Chen and Su Qiuyue: "What about you two, fellow Daoists? Any thoughts?"

Duan Chen smiled plainly, "Whatever Brother Ji decides, I have no objections."

Su Qiuyue shook her head, "I have no objections either."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ji Canghai said, "Alright, let's depart then."

Next, to avoid the four of them getting separated due to accidents and ending up unable to find the destination, Ji Canghai reproduced parts of the map onto several jade scrolls and distributed them to Gu Yuan and the others.

Then, they flew towards Thousand Flame Mountain, riding their escape light.

Gu Yuan compared the map in the jade scroll with the one given by his master, He Ling True Master, and found that although Ji Canghai's map covered a smaller area and was more rudimentary, there wasn't anything amiss.

...

Roar!

A Giant Ape, over a hundred meters tall and covered in yellow-brown fur, roared and charged wildly through the forest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Giant Ape's immense body was wrapped in dense demon qi, with many ancient trees barely reaching its waist. As it passed, those ancient woods and mountains shattered and scattered, and the ground was trampled into a path by this giant beast.

And in front of the Giant Ape, several escape lights were speeding through the sky.

After chasing for half a day and seeing the distance widening, the Giant Ape reached out, gathering massive chunks of earth and stone from the ground to form an extraordinarily long spear.

Over a hundred meters long, which is about three hundred meters, and as thick as a train carriage.

With the Giant Ape's power, it suddenly hurled the yellow-white stone spear towards the escape lights ahead.

Rumble! Rumble!

The stone spear was incredibly fast, creating a gust of wind as it soared through the air, leaving a long white streak in its wake.

Due to the speed, the sonic boom hadn't spread before the stone spear was already close to the escape lights ahead.

"Everyone, scatter!"

Ji Canghai transmitted a message to the others.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan veered his escape light, flying in a different direction.

The other three did the same.

However, Gu Yuan's face suddenly changed, as three more stone spears were being hurled his way.

One was directly behind him, swiftly closing in at an alarming speed.

No matter how many directions Gu Yuan changed, this giant stone spear adjusted its course, relentlessly pursuing him.

"Damn, is it necessary for just a few White Pearl Fruits? Do you have to chase so persistently?"

Gu Yuan's scalp tingled, especially sensing the frightening power contained in the stone spear behind him, causing cold sweat to seep out on his back.

The Giant Ape behind was some ancient exotic fierce beast, not only huge in stature but also remarkably strong in physique, capable of smashing mountains with a single punch.

Moreover, its earth element innate divine techniques were honed to perfection, boasting tremendous power!

When picking herbs earlier, if they hadn't been quick-witted and well-prepared, they might have been trapped in a stone prison by the Giant Ape's divine techniques, crushed to a pulp by its fists!

Although the Giant Ape's cultivation was about the same as that of Cyan Wood True Master back then, its naturally robust physique and perfected innate divine techniques meant any ordinary Golden Core cultivator facing it alone would surely die, even if two attacked, both would perish!

Even though they were among the elite of the younger generation in the cultivation realm, they truly had no methods against such a durable and fiercely attacking enemy.
