The Immortal Boat slowly ceased its movement, finally hovering in the Void Realm.
The group had already arrived at the edge of the Big Dipper Immortal Domain. Looking out, the world was dim and chaotic, having long lost the conventional concepts of up, down, and four directions.
Broken continental plates floated erratically in the gloomy Void Realm, covered with grotesque rifts and crumbling mountain ranges. The pale white bones of unknown creatures stretched for tens of thousands of miles, like winding mountain ridges.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi was chaotic, and the Laws were incomplete.
Occasionally, spatial cracks, like black lightning, flashed and vanished, devouring everything.
"Hiss… This place makes it impossible to restore Magic Power, and the surrounding cold wind will continuously corrode Magic Power and the Physical Body!"
A Golden Immortal Cultivator, from a great sect and well-traveled, couldn't help but gasp, his face solemn as he conjured an ancient mirror to protect himself. The mirror's light flowed, yet it seemed suppressed by the environment, appearing somewhat dim.
"Everyone, perk up! The space here is fragile; Divine Sense must not be extended too far, lest it provoke an unpredictable existence!"
A Cultivator with a steady aura, who had reached the Taiyi realm, shouted in a deep voice. Law runes flickered faintly around him, forming a thin protective shield, clearly indicating he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal needed to be cautious here, showing how perilous the environment was.
A few younger Prodigies, whose cultivation was slightly weaker, only at the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal, already had pale faces. They subconsciously huddled together, each clutching their Magic Treasure, their eyes filled with vigilance.
They could feel that their Immortal Power circulated with some difficulty in this place.
Xuanyuan Po stood at the bow, his gaze sweeping over the silent and dangerous desolate domain before him. His expression was solemn, and he spoke again in a deep voice, his words clearly reaching everyone's ears:
"Fellow Daoists, ahead is the entrance to the Secret Realm Immortal Cave."
Everyone felt excited and somewhat expectant.
Han Xuanji silently observed the surrounding environment; it was his first time in such a place in the Immortal Realm.
"Countless years ago, this should have been a blessed Immortal Cave…"
He thought of the history of the Immortal Realm he had learned about earlier.
Due to the ancient great war, the Immortal Realm was shattered. Some Immortal Domains became forbidden zones, and only a few Immortal Cave worlds opened by powerful beings within these forbidden zones survived.
Normally, this place would be somewhat dangerous for ordinary Golden Immortals, while Great Luo Cultivators were too powerful, easily triggering special Restrictions and attracting ominous existences.
It was usually left to powerful Prodigies to explore, partly for experience and partly due to the mystical concept of Luck; the Legacy of powerful beings would favor young Cultivators with excellent Aptitude.
"By rights, I should also be considered a young Prodigy, right?"
Han Xuanji mused silently.
He was already a Ninth-Turn Great Luo, but by age, he should be much younger than anyone present, so it wouldn't be considered bullying.
He was now like a max-level boss in a beginner zone, feeling no pressure at all.
Not long after, the Immortal Boat traveled through distorted light and shadows, finally stopping on an ancient mountain peak.
Ahead, it was not a mountain gate or palace as imagined, but a giant vortex. Electrical snakes could be vaguely seen flickering at its edges, emitting a heart-palpitating power.
"These Dao writings… This might have been an Immortal Cave left by a powerful being in ancient times, and due to some unforeseen change, the Restriction used to conceal it failed!"
A Prodigy exclaimed in a low voice, drawing everyone's attention.
"An Immortal Cave of an ancient powerhouse, who knows if the remaining Restrictions inside the Immortal Cave have failed."
Someone murmured, their voice carrying a hint of unease.
However, Xuanyuan Po quickly reassured them:
"This place was once a Human Race Immortal Domain; it should be an Immortal Cave world left by a Human Race powerful being. Any creatures guarding the Immortal Cave would have likely perished over countless years."
Everyone nodded, certainly not willing to retreat at this point.
At this moment, Lin Feng, standing a little behind the crowd, had a different expression on his face beneath the bronze mask.
His body was trembling slightly, not from fear, but from an uncontrollable hatred!
"Tai Sui Heaven, it really is here."
Lin Feng felt incredibly fortunate; thankfully, he had kept a trump card back then.
He was quite familiar with this place; it was an Immortal Cave opened by the top power, Tai Sui Mountain.
In his previous life, under another identity, he had joined Tai Sui Mountain and left an Immortal Cave here that no outsider knew about, not even his Disciples or friends.
The familiar sights before him suddenly triggered his memories.
He was once the Emperor who guarded this Immortal Domain. He was betrayed by his trusted Disciples and brothers, ambushed by powerful beings of the Demon Race, and died with resentment.
After his Rebirth, he had been gathering various information, and also learned about some events that happened in his previous life.
After his death, the Immortal Domain fell. He never expected to be able to return here one day.
Only Han Xuanji secretly observed Lin Feng, noticing the change in his expression and immediately realizing that the other party indeed had a connection to this place.
The reason this fellow chose the Xuanyuan Family was naturally not just because he could enter the Human Race Ancient Trial Path; it was mostly because he had his eyes on this ancient Immortal Cave.
When he saw Lin Feng in the Xuanyuan Family, he knew that this powerful being's Reincarnation must have had plans long ago.
"Hmm, then I don't need to worry about it."
Han Xuanji mused.
Although the Immortal Cave's concealing Restriction had failed, the basic defensive Restrictions still existed. The Xuanyuan Family also sent many powerful beings to work together to open the Restriction formation, and no problems occurred, clearly indicating they had prepared in advance.
They were quite reliable.
However, Han Xuanji was also constantly paying attention to the surrounding situation. Although the Xuanyuan Family's operation was secretive, it had been exposed. Although no abnormal situations had occurred so far, he still needed to be careful.
"The dangers of this place, I believe you all experienced on the way here. Inside the Immortal Cave, it will only be more unpredictable and treacherous.
Xuanyuan Po offered a final piece of advice, "While Opportunity is important, life is more precious. It is best for everyone to explore together, and allocate rewards based on contributions.
If you feel you are not up to it, it is still not too late to withdraw now. My Xuanyuan Family will never force anyone and will ensure your safe return."
Xuanyuan Po said calmly.
Although he said so, everyone present had some strength; who would willingly give up? Naturally, no one retreated or left.
However, some who had originally planned to act alone also abandoned the idea of going solo and decided to stick with Xuanyuan Po.
"Go!"
Xuanyuan Po said, then stepped into the Immortal Cave.
The rest of the group followed closely behind.
Upon entering the Immortal Cave, they discovered it was not the Immortal Realm blessed land they had imagined. The Spiritual Qi here was chaotic, clearly affected by external influences.
The creatures that originally guarded the Immortal Cave also seemed to have disappeared.
However, everyone did not relax their vigilance but proceeded along a main path.
Occasionally, palaces and Immortal Caves would appear around them.
Similar to the script Han Xuanji had imagined, Lin Feng initially moved with the group, then played a decent role, and finally deliberately triggered a Restriction to get separated from everyone.
Since Lin Feng was not the key figure, the others naturally wouldn't miss out on Opportunity by searching for him. Only Xuanyuan Linger, despite being advised against it, went to look for him, as she had brought him in and couldn't just stand by.
Han Xuanji observed all of this. He quietly used his Divine Ability Transformation of Myriad Ages, sending an Incarnation to follow the main group, while his main body followed Lin Feng.
He followed unhurriedly from behind, perfectly concealing his tracks.
After getting separated from the group, Lin Feng was like a fish returning to the sea, acting extremely quickly as if returning to his old home. He ignored the surrounding dangers, as if he knew every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every stone in this place like the back of his hand.
