"There's something to this. Could this guy have really gone home?"
Han Xuanji pondered silently. If his cultivation wasn't high enough, he might not have been able to keep up.
In just half a day, Lin Feng arrived before a hidden valley shrouded in dense mist.
The entrance to the valley was extremely concealed, perfectly hidden by natural spatial folds and several self-operating ancient Restrictions. Without knowing the exact path and method to break them, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal passing by would find it difficult to detect.
Lin Feng stood at the valley entrance, gazing at the familiar mist, a trace of recollection and excitement flashing in his eyes.
He conjured a series of Magic Treasures, each imbued with a unique Dao charm, precisely sending them into the mist.
"Om—!"
The mist parted as if alive, revealing an entrance.
Lin Feng stepped in without hesitation.
In the center of the valley, an Immortal Cave gate stood silently. On its lintel, two grand characters, "Nanming," were inscribed in ancient immortal script, resembling soaring Dragons and dancing Phoenixes.
"I'm back!"
Lin Feng's voice trembled slightly. He quickly stepped forward and cast the Magic Treasure to lift the Restriction.
The stone door slid open soundlessly.
The interior of the Immortal Cave was simply furnished, yet everywhere exuded an extraordinary aura.
The jade bed, stone table, and meditation mat were all crafted from divine materials hard to find in the outside world.
Lin Feng had a clear goal. He walked directly to a stone wall in the deepest part of the Immortal Cave and once again cast complex Magic Treasures.
Ripples spread across the stone wall, and space shifted. Only the Immortal Cave's owner could unravel its mysteries.
It took Lin Feng some effort to retrieve the items stored there.
A bottle of chaos spirit liquid, a large quantity of great dao source stones, a Talisman wreathed in purple lightning, and a jade disc.
Seeing no one around, Lin Feng could no longer suppress his excitement.
These items were all contingency plans he had prepared in his previous life: a large amount of cultivation resources, a Talisman capable of unleashing a Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal's strike, which could save his life at critical moments, and that jade disc, which was the key to the place where he obtained that supreme treasure in his previous life.
At the same time.
Han Xuanji quietly concealed his aura, and the pleasant System prompt sounded in his mind.
"[Detected an eight-star check-in location, "Nanming Immortal Cave." Do you wish to check in?]"
Eight stars?
Han Xuanji was a little surprised. It seemed that in the System's eyes, this place was extremely valuable.
"System, check in."
Han Xuanji's thoughts stirred slightly.
"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully checking in at "Nanming Immortal Cave." You have received the "Limitless Jade Disc."]"
"[Limitless Jade Disc: A Chaos Supreme Treasure nurtured by Chaos, obtained by the Dao Ancestor during his travels through Chaos, later bestowed upon the Grand Supreme Dao Venerable. It can aid in cultivation, shield heavenly secrets, and is also the key to reaching the Heaven of Creation.]"
"Good stuff."
Han Xuanji quickly realized that this should be the crucial treasure for Lin Feng to achieve Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal in his previous life.
This Limitless Jade Disc, he feared, would be of great help even to the cultivation of Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal Experts, and perhaps even aid in breaking through to the Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Having obtained this item, Han Xuanji had already made a huge profit.
"Continue to check in."
Han Xuanji noticed that the System did not prompt insufficient Dao charm. He didn't think further and continued to check in.
"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully checking in at "Nanming Immortal Cave." You have received one hundred great dao source stones.]"
"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully checking in at "Nanming Immortal Cave." You have received one bottle of chaos spirit liquid.]"
"[Congratulations, Host, for successfully checking in at "Nanming Immortal Cave." You have received one "Nanming World-Annihilating Charm."]"
...The other treasures were not bad either, after all, they were left behind by Lin Feng in his previous life as Emperor Nanming.
However, compared to the Limitless Jade Disc, they were not on the same level at all.
The Dao charm of this place should have been entirely sustained by this supreme treasure.
Lin Feng was immersed in immense joy, completely unaware of Han Xuanji. Soon, he put away the treasures and, without lingering, immediately left the Immortal Cave, rushing non-stop towards several other known Immortal Caves belonging to other ancient Experts within the Tai Sui Heaven, which he remembered.
Because he was already a highly respected Senior in Tai Sui Heaven, he was quite familiar with the Immortal Caves of others.
Lin Feng's subsequent actions could be described as a "sweep."
He immediately went to a hidden place and found a "Star Spring Eye." At the bottom of the spring eye, he dug out three "Essences of Star Core" that had been nourished by the power of the stars for countless years. This item was also a supreme treasure for cultivating Dao of Stars and was quite valuable.
Afterward, he deliberately avoided Xuanyuan Po and others, going to various Immortal Caves and taking some of the wealth left behind... Each time, when Lin Feng painstakingly broke through Restrictions and obtained treasures with anticipation, Han Xuanji would be nearby, leisurely checking in.
"[Checked in at "Star Spring Eye," obtained "Essence of Star Core."]"
"[Checked in at "Purple Heaven Thunder Mansion," obtained a wisp of "Innate Primordial Thunder Qi."]"
"[Checked in at "Tai Sui Treasure Vault," obtained one bottle of chaos spirit liquid.]"
..."It's taking off!"
Lin Feng looked at the increasing gains in his storage Magic Treasure, feeling immensely pleased, as if the path of Rebirth was bright.
Although most places only had some remnants left, which were nothing to Great Overarching Experts, for him now, it was still a considerable fortune.
Han Xuanji followed behind Lin Feng, as if touring his own backyard. The check-in prompts were incessant, and various incomparably precious treasures continuously poured into his pocket.
He looked at the diligent Lin Feng ahead and was quite satisfied.
"Good efficiency, keep up the good work."
Han Xuanji nodded secretly.
Since it was all free pickings, he wouldn't mind.
Hard currencies like great dao source stones and chaos spirit liquid were always better to have more of.
Even if he couldn't use other items, he could give them to those around him later.
However, perhaps it was a pang of conscience, or perhaps there was nothing more to explore, but Lin Feng soon stopped his actions, intending to return to the main group.
After all, his biggest goal for this trip had been achieved, and he still wanted to use the Xuanyuan Family to go to the Human Race's Ancient Trial Path.
"It seems there's nothing left."
Han Xuanji wasn't disappointed. The Limitless Jade Disc was already a huge opportunity; the subsequent check-in rewards were just icing on the cake.
Just as Han Xuanji was about to return, he suddenly caught a hint of abnormality.
"Hmm?"
Han Xuanji's footsteps paused almost imperceptibly, and a sharp, cold glint suddenly flashed in the depths of his originally calm eyes.
"This aura... it's the Demon Race! And at least of the Great Overarching Expert level."
Han Xuanji instantly made a judgment in his mind.
He would never mistake the aura of the Demon Race.
Although the opponent was well hidden, his Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, coupled with the characteristics of his double pupils, he quickly pinpointed the source.
"Interesting."
Han Xuanji quickly thought of many possibilities.
The greatest possibility was that there was indeed a force planning to target the Human Emperor Candidate.
It was also possible that the existence of the Limitless Jade Disc had been calculated by some entity?
Han Xuanji swiftly retracted all his aura, concealing himself even more thoroughly. He did not immediately take action.
And the aura of that Demon Race Expert was also extremely cautious, seemingly only observing from afar, as if also confirming something.
