Their speed continued to increase, astonishing Yun Yao.

Along the way, every Ghost Wind and Yin Spirit was torn apart directly.

As they passed over an earthen mound, nine sword rays suddenly erupted from below.

“Not good! Someone's launching a sneak attack!”

Nine sword rays, each over twenty zhang long and carrying overwhelming divine might, shot straight toward the five.

Instead of panicking, however, the five joined forces to raise a triple-layered protective barrier.

“Big Brother Lin, be careful! They're the Five Demon Boys. Let's go quickly!”

The Five Demon Boys' expressions changed dramatically.

A single strike had already cracked their barrier.

Yet hidden in the shadows, Lin Chang'an's pupils contracted in shock as well.

After cultivating for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered cultivators capable of directly blocking his Sword Shadows Follow the Heart—Ninefold Sword Radiance Divine Ability.

The next moment, he formed a hand seal.

The nine sword rays detonated simultaneously.

Boom!

Crack!

“You thief! How dare you!”

“Insolence!”

The combined explosion of the nine sword rays rivaled the self-destruction of three Golden Core-grade Magical Artifacts.

Yet the Five Demon Boys were filled only with fury, not fear.

“Big Brother Lin!”

Amid the chaos, Yun Yao raised her hand and unleashed several frigid Ice Dragon spells toward the rear.

At the same time, the familiar figure appeared behind her.

Everything happened within an instant.

As Lin Chang'an wrapped an arm around Yun Yao's slender waist, the corner of his eye caught sight of the enraged Five Demon Boys amidst the exploding sword rays.

The first two layers of their three-layer barrier had completely shattered.

The final layer remained, but was covered in countless cracks.

“They actually blocked it!”

Lin Chang'an was inwardly astonished.

That was merely their combined Magic Power barrier.

It wasn't even a top-grade Magical Artifact.

No wonder Yun Yao had urgently transmitted her voice earlier, warning him that the five were extraordinarily difficult to deal with and not to become entangled in battle.

“Let's go!”

He had never been someone who loved prolonged fights.

With Yun Yao's prior warning, he wasn't foolish enough to fight to the death inside the Secret Realm before obtaining any opportunities.

Holding Yun Yao by the waist, Lin Chang'an erupted with overwhelming Magic Power.

An endless rain of sword light burst forth once again.

“Don't let that thief escape!”

“Anyone who offends the Five Demons must die!”

Murderous intent echoed from behind.

Yet in the next instant, the formation flags that had long been planted around the area lit up simultaneously.

A circular barrier instantly appeared, trapping all five within.

Immediately afterward, four Black Tortoise phantoms roared as the formation completely took shape.

Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation.

“Big Brother Lin, an ordinary Third-rank formation won't trap them for long. Let's leave immediately. Don't linger!”

Yun Yao reminded him solemnly.

Lin Chang'an had already prepared for this.

He slapped his Spirit Beast Pouch.

An earth-shaking cry of the Wind-Chirp Bird rang across heaven and earth.

Under Yun Yao's astonished gaze, the Wind-Chirp Bird cried toward the sky.

Its wings spread wide as it transformed into a gigantic bird fifty zhang across.

Terrifying flames illuminated the entire region.

This time, the Wind-Chirp Bird released its aura without restraint.

Every nearby Yin Spirit was instantly annihilated beneath the overwhelming heat.

However...

This was the Land of Extreme Yin.

Although the Wind-Chirp Bird naturally suppressed Yin Spirits and similar creatures...

Its terrifying aura within such an extreme Yin land also attracted the greed of countless Yin Spirits.

To the Yin Spirits of this region...

The Wind-Chirp Bird itself was an incomparably nourishing delicacy.

Because of the formation, the Five Demon Boys had no idea what was occurring outside.

The Wind-Chirp Bird's aura appeared quickly...

And vanished just as quickly.

It instantly concealed itself again, transformed into a streak of golden light, and returned to Lin Chang'an's Spirit Beast Pouch.

Having completed everything, Lin Chang'an dared not linger.

Together with Yun Yao, he rode the Ice Flood Dragon and fled at top speed.

The moment the Wind-Chirp Bird's aura had appeared...

Every Yin Spirit within a hundred li had undoubtedly sensed it and was now surging toward the area.

Just as Lin Chang'an expected...

Countless Yin Spirits and Yin Corpses greedily converged from every direction.

Meanwhile, after concealing his own aura, whenever they encountered large tides of Yin Spirits, Lin Chang'an escaped underground using Earth Escape.

One incense stick later.

Within the Four Symbols Black Tortoise Formation...

The four gigantic Black Tortoise phantoms had dimmed considerably.

The formation barrier flickered repeatedly before finally shattering with a loud explosion.

“That damned thief!”

Yet just after breaking free...

The Five Demon Boys saw the terrifying tide of Yin Spirits in the distance.

Their faces instantly filled with both rage and alarm.

……

Half a month later.

Black sandstorms howled endlessly.

Violent astral winds tore apart every inch of the earth.

As far as the eye could see...

The land was dark and desolate.

There wasn't a single hill in sight.

After passing through the Earth Dead Zone...

They had finally arrived at the Metal Dead Zone.

Earth gave birth to Metal.

Even a handful of the golden sand here contained metallic ore.

“Big Brother Lin, the Metal Dead Zone is filled year-round with terrifying astral winds. Even a Golden Core cultivator who becomes trapped within them without escaping in time will eventually exhaust all of their Magic Power before being annihilated.

“However, there is one advantage.

“There are very few living creatures here.”

Upon entering the Metal Dead Zone, the Wind-Chirp Bird emerged once more.

This time, however, it shrank itself to only one zhang long and concealed its aura, carrying the two of them while flying close to the ground.

“The Five Dead Zones are protected by flight restrictions, but flying demonic beasts and spirit pets aren't affected.”

That was precisely why Yun Yao had been able to escape earlier while riding her Ice Flood Dragon.

Standing upon the bird's back, Yun Yao couldn't help revealing a trace of envy.

“With the Wind-Chirp Bird, traversing the Five Dead Zones truly isn't difficult for Big Brother Lin.”

Lin Chang'an smiled.

The Wind-Chirp Bird truly was the ideal companion for exploring this Secret Realm.

They had now crossed four of the Five Dead Zones.

Fire overcame Metal.

Even amidst these terrifying astral winds, the Wind-Chirp Bird remained completely unaffected.

Naturally, it still avoided flying directly into the strongest currents.

While riding upon its back, Lin Chang'an asked Yun Yao about everything that had happened and why the Five Demon Boys had pursued her.

“The Five Demon Boys are the disciples of True Lord Demon Fiend from the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

“True Lord Demon Fiend has always been extremely ambitious and has long sought to replace Bihai Palace.

“This time, capturing me was likely meant to gain bargaining leverage.”

After Yun Yao's explanation, Lin Chang'an finally understood.

True Lord Demon Fiend was publicly acknowledged as the foremost figure of the Demonic Path.

He stood alongside the two Palace Masters of Bihai Palace as one of the great late Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although he did not belong to the Sixteen Sects of Sea Suppression...

His divine abilities were extraordinary.

His reputation dominated the Demon Beast Sea Abyss.

Over the past several centuries, he had continuously gathered numerous major forces, gradually forming a powerful alliance.

His goal was clearly to overthrow Bihai Palace's rule.

There were even rumors that True Lord Demon Fiend had originally come from Bihai Palace itself before betraying and fleeing for unknown reasons.

“The Five Demon Boys cultivate a secret technique known as the Spirit Combination Art.

“The five are biological brothers born from the same mother. They've grown up together and cultivated the exact same cultivation technique since childhood.

“When using this combined attack secret art, the five become virtually one person.

“Working together, they've even withstood a single strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

Listening to Yun Yao's explanation, Lin Chang'an secretly gasped.

No wonder his Ninefold Sword Radiance had always swept through opponents without resistance.

Yet these five had forcefully blocked it with nothing more than their combined Magic Power barrier.

If they truly fought to the end...

With a late Nascent Soul master behind them...

They undoubtedly possessed numerous life-saving treasures.

Of course...

Lin Chang'an wasn't without his own advantages.

If the battle became prolonged...

He was fully confident in the superiority of his Self-Healing Body.

“The plan hasn't begun yet.

“I still can't expose my true strength.”

As the wind blew through her long black hair, Yun Yao smiled gently.

Lin Chang'an nodded.

“Don't worry.

“This time, our plan won't fail.”

The reason they dared scheme so boldly...

Was because they relied upon the restrictions within the Secret Realm itself.

Otherwise...

Neither of them would've dared plot against Nascent Soul cultivators.

“Don't worry, Big Brother Lin.

“I haven't spent these years without preparing backup plans.

“Fellow Daoist Nishang is also one of our external allies.”

Lin Chang'an wasn't surprised.

Yun Yao had always maintained dealings with Fairy Nishang.

“However, there's an unexpected complication this time.

“We both need to be more careful.

“Take these two Fire Spirit Pearls.”

Lin Chang'an then informed Yun Yao about discovering the successor of the Insect Devil.

“The Spirit-Devouring Insects... the Insect Devil who nearly plunged the cultivation world into catastrophe?

“Big Brother Lin, you suspect Huang Tianxiao?”

Lin Chang'an felt no guilt whatsoever about revealing Huang Tianxiao's identity.

Yun Yao was equally shocked.

After all...

Who hadn't heard the legends surrounding the Insect Devil?

These six Fire Spirit Pearls had originally come from the treasure vault of the Crimson Fire Old Monster.

Each one possessed power comparable to a single strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Fire-Attribute attacks were also the natural bane of swarms of spirit insects.

According to Fellow Daoist Su Miaoyin...

These Spirit-Devouring Insects had yet to evolve into the terrifying state recorded in ancient records.

Nascent Soul cultivators' Spirit Flames could still injure them.

“It seems the Demon Beast Sea Abyss is truly about to descend into chaos.”

Fortunately...

None of it had anything to do with them anymore.

Both of them were merely Golden Core cultivators.

Even if they eventually reached the Nascent Soul Realm...

They still wouldn't possess the power to stop such upheaval.

Their primary objective in entering the Secret Realm had always been their original plan—

To join forces and defect.

According to the plan...

Yun Yao would obtain the perfected Profound Yin Divine Flame.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators coveted this divine ability enough to exhaust every means acquiring it.

Its power was obvious.

As for Lin Chang'an...

The benefits were equally immense.

Through dual cultivation...

This supreme Yin Spirit Flame would perfectly assist his Natal Magical Artifact in achieving the harmony of Yin and Yang.

Moreover...

Their plan didn't end there.

Now that Huang Tianxiao had unexpectedly appeared...

Their scheme involving the Profound Yin Divine Sect had become even more certain.

“Yun Yao.

“Before entering the Labyrinth Hall...

“This is the greatest amount of my Magic Power that I can inject into your body.”

Both wore solemn expressions.

The very foundation of their entire plan rested upon the fact that Lin Chang'an's Magic Power could soothe and purify the Profound Yin Divine Flame.

Without that...

None of their later plans could exist.

“Big Brother Lin!”

Yun Yao likewise became serious.

The two formed hand seals and activated the secret technique they had cultivated together through dual cultivation.

Lin Chang'an's Magic Power continuously flowed into her body.

While cleansing her...

It also constantly entered her Dantian, gradually condensing and storing itself.

The greatest danger within the Metal Dead Zone came from the terrifying astral winds.

Even the bodies of Third-rank Great Demons couldn't withstand them.

Yet...

Fire overcame Metal.

Against the Wind-Chirp Bird, these Metal-Attribute astral winds immediately lost half their threat.

Unfortunately...

The Metal Dead Zone contained very few living creatures.

Unlike the previous three Dead Zones, it offered little benefit to the Wind-Chirp Bird.

Earlier, Lin Chang'an had deliberately slowed their progress because strengthening the Wind-Chirp Bird also increased his own combat power.

Although the Metal Dead Zone contained countless precious metallic ores...

Lin Chang'an never forgot his true objective.

Thus...

The Wind-Chirp Bird rapidly carried them straight through the Metal Dead Zone.

……

Freezing winds howled.

The world had become one of endless ice and snow.

Numerous Ice-Attribute demonic beasts hid beneath the snow.

Ice Spirits ravaged the skies overhead.

“The Five Dead Zones truly are incredibly bizarre.”

Stepping into the final Dead Zone, Lin Chang'an couldn't help frowning.

He truly couldn't understand what the cultivator who had designed these Five Dead Zones had been thinking.

Such an extreme and unconventional arrangement.

However...

Viewed through the eyes of a Third-rank High-grade Formation Master...

If this Secret Realm truly existed to seal the Demon Abyss...

Then such an extreme arrangement was indeed capable of maximizing the power of the Five Elements.

“Fellow Daoist Nishang and Ling'er have finally responded.”

Halfway through the Ice Dead Zone...

The sensing compass finally reacted.

Watching the spiritual light upon the compass reveal two glowing points, Yun Yao smiled.

After crossing all Five Dead Zones...

They had finally reached the end.

Apparently, their luck hadn't been particularly good.

They had only managed to reunite at the very last Dead Zone.

As for the Five Demon Boys remaining together...

That wasn't luck.

The five had been born from the same mother, cultivated identical cultivation techniques, and because of their secret art, functioned almost as one person.

When the Secret Realm teleported everyone...

The restriction had mistakenly recognized them as a single individual.

Thus...

They had never been separated.

“However...

“This Ice Dead Zone is clearly much weaker than what was recorded in the jade slips—or compared to when it was opened last time.”

Along the journey, Lin Chang'an secretly frowned.

The bizarre extremity of the previous four Dead Zones remained vivid in his memory.

According to historical records...

The Ice Dead Zone should have been equally terrifying.

Yet this time...

It had become the weakest.

And also the purest.

Compared to the previous four...

It felt strangely out of place.

“That's right.

“According to the old devil, during the previous opening, the Ice Dead Zone was extremely dangerous.

“So why is there only pure cold this time?”

As freezing winds roared around them, Yun Yao frowned deeply.

At first...

They assumed they had only just entered.

But now they had already crossed halfway.

“Big Brother Lin, be careful.

“According to all recorded history, this Secret Realm has existed for at least several thousand years—perhaps even ten thousand.

“This kind of change has never occurred before.”

When something unusual happened...

There was always a reason.

Lin Chang'an immediately became even more vigilant.

“Let's reunite with the others first.”

Just as Lin Chang'an and Yun Yao prepared to meet Fairy Nishang and Sword Attendant...

Another sensing compass hanging at Yun Yao's waist suddenly reacted.

The smile on her face immediately froze.

Then...

It disappeared entirely.

“Big Brother Lin...

“Wait for me.”

Lin Chang'an nodded.

He knew the other cultivators of the Profound Yin Divine Sect had likely sensed Yun Yao's location.

Within the howling blizzard...

The two parted ways.

……

Several days later.

Amid the endless snowstorm...

Lin Chang'an successively reunited with Fairy Nishang and Sword Attendant.

Sword Attendant possessed the weakest cultivation among them.

Her journey had been extremely difficult.

Although Lin Chang'an had given her many treasures beforehand...

They were all life-saving trump cards.

“Master!”

Sword Attendant's face was pale.

She had expended tremendous effort along the way.

Even her Daoist robes had been damaged in many places, bearing countless traces of battle.

Even the inner armor beneath them contained several marks at fatal locations.

“I encountered several blind fools along the way.

“They've already been dealt with.”

The moment Sword Attendant saw her master...

Her usually cold face blossomed into a radiant smile.

She no longer cared about her own injuries.

Within the Secret Realm...

Although the Five Dead Zones were filled with danger...

The greatest threat still came from the hearts of cultivators.

“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Lin, for helping me recover.”

Fairy Nishang cupped her hands gratefully.

Her cultivation was much stronger.

Combined with the superiority of her cultivation technique among those of the same realm...

She had merely consumed a great deal of Magic Power along the journey.

“Moo!”

The Azure-Horned Ox, which had been confined the entire time, was finally released.

Facing this freezing land...

It appeared completely unaffected.

Earth overcame Water.

Although the Azure-Horned Ox had mutated...

Its Petrification Divine Ability still belonged to the Earth Attribute.

Naturally, Ice belonged to Water.

The Wind-Chirp Bird had dominated the first four Dead Zones.

Yet in this final one...

The Azure-Horned Ox became the true main force.

That was also why...

When news of the Wind-Chirp Bird first appeared in the Five Dragon Island Sea Region...

So many cultivators had coveted it.

“Alright.

“We're about to leave the Five Dead Zones.”

Lin Chang'an gently patted the Azure-Horned Ox.

Its broad back steadily carried the three of them through the freezing winds.

Sword Attendant also relaxed for the first time in a long while.

After Lin Chang'an helped restore her stamina...

She finally narrowed her eyes and quietly rested.

The Yin Spirit Two-Headed Tiger had devoured numerous Yin Spirits within the Secret Realm.

However...

It had also suffered severe injuries.

As for the remaining three Yin Fiend Corpse Puppets...

Though somewhat damaged...

They had all survived.

The abnormal changes within the Ice Dead Zone naturally attracted the attention of countless cultivators.

Originally...

Battles between cultivators had always been the greatest danger.

Yet upon reaching this final Ice Dead Zone...

Everyone became exceptionally cautious about preserving their strength.

No one wished to waste Magic Power fighting another cultivator...

Only to encounter an even more troublesome danger afterward.

Half a month later.

After traversing the freezing blizzard...

A gigantic ice valley finally appeared in the distance.

At the entrance stood an enormous heaven-supporting gate completely covered in ice.

“We've arrived!”

Seeing the gateway leading beyond the Five Dead Zones, Lin Chang'an couldn't help revealing a smile.

Fairy Nishang also took a deep breath.

She slowly put on her bamboo hat once more...

Disguising herself as a lone black-robed cultivator.

She then separated from Lin Chang'an...

Pretending to be an independent rogue cultivator.

Lin Chang'an wasn't surprised.

After all...

They had already discussed this plan before entering the Secret Realm.

Unfortunately, they had originally hoped that luck would allow them to meet within the Five Dead Zones ahead of time so they could join forces and make their way through together.

Instead, they only reunited at the very end.

Along the way, they had encountered several other cultivators, but there was far more caution and vigilance between them than murderous intent.

After all, no one knew whether some unforeseen change might occur within the Five Dead Zones at the very last moment.

In the end, Lin Chang'an rode the Azure-Horned Ox, bringing Sword Attendant with him as they slowly passed through the gigantic Ice Gate.

……

An incomparably vast and ancient stone hall came into view.

Surrounding this enormous hall was a bottomless abyss stretching tens of thousands of zhang deep.

The hall itself was perfectly square, with four entrances positioned in the four cardinal directions.

However, all four gates remained tightly shut, as though the appointed time had yet to arrive.

Cultivators from every faction occupied separate massive stone platforms, their boundaries clearly defined.

At the eastern gate, besides Bihai Palace's First Elder, Sixth Elder, and True Lord Lu, there was also the body cultivation Nascent Soul cultivator Jin Kaishan. The four of them naturally formed one group.

The remaining Nascent Soul cultivators were mostly independent cultivators or neutral parties. They gathered in groups of two or three, appearing to chat casually while actually banding together to avoid becoming targets of Bihai Palace.

It was obvious that the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sixteen Sects of Sea Suppression and the other major factions were stationed at the other three gates.

“Nine Third-rank High-grade Formation Masters, and only three have come out so far. It seems Bihai Palace isn't very good at choosing people.”

Jin Kaishan, whose massive physique resembled a small giant, sat domineeringly atop a huge boulder. Bored while waiting, he glanced at the number of survivors and couldn't help teasing them.

The usually lofty Sixth Elder rarely revealed such an embarrassed and irritated expression.

That brute Jin really gave him no face whatsoever.

“Fellow Daoist Jin, what are you so anxious about? The Labyrinth Hall hasn't even opened yet.”

True Lord Lu chuckled as he observed the cultivators emerging from the Five Dead Zones.

Deep inside, however, he was filled with worry.

“However, First Elder, according to the cultivators who have already emerged, something unusual seems to have happened in the final Ice Dead Zone.”

The Five Dead Zones...

Were also known as the Mutated Five Dead Zones.

The last time they had entered this place, the Ice Dead Zone had caused him no small amount of trouble.

The First Elder, dressed in a white robe embroidered with golden patterns, merely raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He appeared completely unconcerned.

“Then that's a good thing.

“At the very least, one or two tenths more people have survived compared to previous years.”

His casual reply caused True Lord Lu to nod with a smile while stroking his beard.

Internally, however, he fell into deep thought.

The Golden Core cultivators didn't know...

But Nascent Soul cultivators were different.

“Among the Five Dead Zones, only the Ice Dead Zone has changed.

“Could it be that during the last opening of the Secret Realm, someone obtained the supreme Ice treasure hidden within?”

True Lord Lu silently speculated.

According to what he knew, this Secret Realm existed to suppress the Demon Abyss.

Since the Five Dead Zones served as the suppression mechanism...

There must naturally be five supreme treasures corresponding to the Five Elements.

If the Ice Dead Zone had weakened...

Then someone had likely taken away that Ice-Attribute treasure during the previous opening.

“Who could possibly have obtained that treasure last time?”

True Lord Lu pondered silently.

Quite a few other Nascent Soul cultivators were making similar guesses.

The Sixth Elder remained silent.

His strength wasn't sufficient for him to know much.

Only the First Elder sneered inwardly.

The Ice treasure...

Had naturally been taken by Bihai Palace during the previous opening.

In fact...

The Second Palace Master had personally entered the Secret Realm by forcefully suppressing his own cultivation through a secret technique.

However...

Their Second Palace Master possessed far greater foresight.

Faced with a treasure coveted even by late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators...

He had remained completely unmoved.

Instead...

He had deliberately split the treasure into two halves...

Setting up a trap that had been prepared long in advance.

Now...

They simply waited for the fish to bite.

“Second Palace Master...

“You truly are willing to part with it.

“The Ice Lotus Frost Flame, such a heaven-and-earth spiritual treasure...

“And yet you forcibly split it into two, leaving only the Frost Flame behind for that old ghost Profound Yin to discover.

“That old ghost has spent three hundred years plotting for it...

“Never realizing that from beginning to end...

“He has always been nothing more than a chess piece of our Bihai Palace.”

Thinking this, even the First Elder couldn't help smiling inwardly.

He was becoming more and more eager to witness what would happen next.

Colluding with that traitor Demon Fiend in an attempt to overthrow Bihai Palace?

Very well...

Let all those people descend into chaos first.

A single piece of bait...

Enough to plunge every major force in the Outer Sea into turmoil.

Meanwhile...

Bihai Palace would remain safely seated atop the mountain, calmly watching the tigers fight.

As for weakening the seal over the Demon Abyss?

Human greed...

If you didn't take it...

Someone else inevitably would.

But if someone else obtained it first...

It was equivalent to allowing them to seize the weapon before you did.

“Besides...

“The Demon Abyss beneath the territory of the Six Demonic Sects has long since been nearly ruined.

“Countless demonic creatures have already escaped from there.

“And hasn't everything remained fine?”

The First Elder sneered coldly.

His eyes were filled only with indifference.

Besides...

Even Great Jin ignored such matters.

In fact...

It deliberately encouraged the weakening of these Demon Abyss seals.

Wasn't it all for that elusive path to Ascension?

Without the tacit approval of those people...

Who would have dared?

These ancient secrets...

Had been passed down by Bihai Palace since ancient times.

……

Several more days passed.

“Something major must have happened within the Secret Realm. Otherwise, the Ice Dead Zone couldn't possibly have changed so drastically.”

“It seems another great upheaval is coming after this Secret Realm closes.”

“Hmph. What does that have to do with us? Until we reach the Nascent Soul Realm, we're nothing more than ants.”

Outside the eastern entrance of the Labyrinth Hall, cultivators discussed the situation as more and more people continued arriving.

Then...

A deep bovine bellow echoed through the air.

Lin Chang'an appeared, accompanied by Sword Attendant.

“That brat.”

Seeing yet another Formation Master he had personally selected emerge safely, the corners of the Sixth Elder's mouth curved upward in satisfaction.

Over the past several days...

Along with Lin Chang'an's arrival...

They now had exactly five Third-rank High-grade Formation Masters.

His plan could proceed smoothly.

However...

Accompanying Lin Chang'an was also a female cultivator from Bihai Palace.

She looked no older than a young maiden and possessed late Golden Core cultivation.

Her face remained expressionless as she nodded slightly toward Lin Chang'an before cupping her hands.

“Many thanks for your assistance, Fellow Daoist Lin.”

“You're too courteous.”

Near the very end, Lin Chang'an had noticed several cultivators hostile toward Bihai Palace attacking her.

Since they were effectively aboard the same ship...

Naturally, he hadn't stood by and watched.

His appearance had frightened the attackers into retreat, thus helping her escape.

Upon hearing her gratitude, Lin Chang'an merely smiled and returned the salute.

What he didn't know...

Was that the Nascent Soul First Elder of Bihai Palace quietly glanced toward the young woman.

Beneath the hood concealing his eyes...

A trace of respect flashed across them.

“Greetings, Three Elders. Greetings, Senior Jin.”

Finally seeing the Nascent Soul cultivators supporting Bihai Palace, Lin Chang'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After storing away the Azure-Horned Ox, he respectfully approached with Sword Attendant and bowed.

To maintain appearances...

He had deliberately made himself look somewhat disheveled beforehand, as though he had narrowly escaped numerous dangers within the Dead Zones.

“Very good.

“You've done well, lad.”

The Sixth Elder nodded approvingly.

Meanwhile...

The smile that had always rested upon True Lord Lu's face had disappeared over the past several days.

Instead...

He wore a permanent frown.

His precious daughter couldn't possibly have...

Impossible!

He had never been stingy.

No one knew better than he did just how many treasures he had given his daughter.

“That girl has always been clever.

“With all the treasures I've bestowed upon her...

“She must simply be collecting additional materials.

“After all, she's quite talented in formations.”

True Lord Lu comforted himself.

Yet...

Anyone could clearly see the anxiety in his knitted brows.

Even Jin Kaishan, who normally enjoyed teasing him, found his own brows twitching.

Unable to hold himself back any longer, he transmitted his voice.

“Old Turtle Lu...

“You couldn't possibly have been too stingy to give the girl enough treasures, could you?

“You bastard!

“You tricked Fellow Daoist Su back then too!”

His voice transmission carried obvious anger.

Back then...

Old Turtle Lu truly hadn't acted honorably.

“Shut your mouth, Brute Jin!

“If anything has happened to my daughter...

“Every single Golden Core cultivator who survives this Secret Realm—

“I'll hunt every last one of them to the ends of the earth after they leave!”

The usually cheerful, easygoing old True Lord Lu suddenly erupted with terrifying killing intent.

His temperament, tempered through countless hardships, instantly transformed.

“Damn you, Old Turtle Lu!”

Jin Kaishan glared furiously.

Back when the two of them had first formed their Golden Cores...

It had been Old Turtle Lu who caused the disaster that left both of them gravely injured.

Later...

They had met Fellow Daoist Su, who had only recently established her Foundation.

The friendship between the three hardly needed mentioning.

“Brute Jin...

“I'll give you my longevity-extending secret technique.

“Prepare yourself.

“After this Secret Realm ends—”

Just as True Lord Lu's long brows trembled with murderous intent, frightening even the Sixth Elder...

A streak of light suddenly shot across the distance.

The killing intent instantly vanished.

Jin Kaishan's enormous eyes lit up.

“Dear niece!

“Come here quickly.

“Let your uncle have a good look at you!”

“My good disciple, come here.”

True Lord Lu also instantly resumed his smiling old-man appearance, warmly beckoning.

It was as though his previous demeanor had never existed.

“Hey, Old Turtle Lu!

“What happened to the longevity-extending secret technique?”

“Did I ever say that?”

“Old Turtle Lu, you shameless bastard!”

While the two bickered...

Su Miaoyin finally arrived.

Upon seeing them, she sweetly smiled.

“Greetings, Father.

“Greetings, Uncle Jin.

“Greetings, Two Elders.”

The sweet greeting caused both the First Elder and Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace to nod slightly.

Jin Kaishan, however, burst into laughter.

“So it's my second niece.”

Su Miaoyin's primary soul was dignified and composed.

She had never addressed True Lord Lu as Father.

She had always called him Master instead.

The other soul...

Was completely different.

Her mouth was full of sweet words.

Though this delighted True Lord Lu...

It also gave him endless headaches.

“Father...

“Wanwan almost couldn't come back this time...”

The next moment...

Su Wanwan—the name of the second soul—immediately put on a pitiful expression.

She looked aggrieved as she spoke to her father, while secretly glancing sideways at Uncle Jin.

Jin Kaishan instantly understood her meaning.

His eyes widened as he patted his chest.

“Come, Second Niece.

“That Old Tu... Ahem, Old Lu is stingy to death.

“Your uncle has a protective Magical Artifact here.”

Jin Kaishan and Su Wanwan perfectly played off one another.

Under the pressure, True Lord Lu reluctantly took out a Symbol Treasure from his Storage Pouch with obvious heartache.

As for whether...

It was father and daughter tricking Jin Kaishan into giving up a treasure...

Or Jin Kaishan and Su Wanwan joining forces to fleece True Lord Lu...

Lin Chang'an had no idea.

However...

He watched with wide eyes filled with envy.

One thing was perfectly clear.

The only beneficiary was Su Wanwan—Su Miaoyin herself.

At that moment...

Su Wanwan also noticed Lin Chang'an standing nearby.

Her enchanting eyes immediately became full of affection.

Before the astonished gazes of many Bihai Palace Golden Core cultivators...

She spoke directly.

“This time, it was all thanks to Fellow Daoist Lin's help.

“Otherwise...

“I almost wouldn't have made it back.”

Good heavens!

Lin Chang'an could only stiffen his scalp as he respectfully saluted.

Facing the gazes of four Nascent Soul cultivators...

He naturally felt delighted.

After all...

Receiving even the slightest recognition from a Nascent Soul cultivator was immensely beneficial.

The other Bihai Palace cultivators...

Especially the male cultivators...

Displayed expressions of complexity and even jealousy.

Golden Core cultivators were still human.

Female cultivators were already rare.

Beautiful female cultivators with outstanding talent, high cultivation, powerful backgrounds, and Nascent Soul fathers or masters...

Were even rarer.

Someone like Su Miaoyin—Su Wanwan...

Naturally represented the ideal dual cultivation partner in the eyes of countless young geniuses.

“I...”

Lin Chang'an respectfully saluted.

At the same time...

He clearly noticed the subtle changes in the expressions of both True Lord Lu and Jin Kaishan.

Yet...

Su Wanwan suddenly discarded her previous demeanor.

Her expression became solemn, still carrying traces of lingering fear.

With a wave of her hand...

She erected a soundproof barrier.

Seeing this, True Lord Lu and Jin Kaishan also raised a much larger soundproof barrier.

After all...

The techniques cast by Nascent Soul cultivators naturally far surpassed those of Golden Core cultivators.

“Something major has happened.

“Inside the Five Dead Zones...

“I encountered the successor of the Insect Devil.

“The Spirit-Devouring Insects have reappeared!”

Su Wanwan solemnly recounted everything she had experienced.

She even explained how...

Despite using a Nascent Soul-level Symbol Treasure...

She had nearly died.

The expressions of all four Nascent Soul cultivators changed drastically.

“The Spirit-Devouring Insects?

“How is that possible!”

Even the Sixth Elder looked utterly shocked.

After pondering for a moment, however, Bihai Palace's First Elder spoke gravely.

“According to Little Friend Su's account...

“These Spirit-Devouring Insects haven't yet reached maturity.

“They still differ somewhat from the records.

“Most likely...
