Due to Restrictions, the group could not use the Law of Space to teleport, and even the height at which they could fly was limited by the world's Restrictions.
And this world was fraught with danger; even in the outer regions, there was no shortage of Golden Immortals or even Immortal Rank beings.
Han Xuanji even sensed beings at the Grand Unity level, but the Human Race's powerful Cultivators had imposed Restrictions, preventing these Grand Unity level existences from actively attacking.
Along the way, they naturally encountered attacks.
With the elites from Xuanyuan Po and Lu Fan's factions present, ordinary troubles were easily resolved without the need for Han Xuanji and the others to act.
When Lin Feng occasionally made a move, the Spells and Divine Abilities he displayed were exquisitely brilliant, often effortlessly containing profound mysteries that surpassed the understanding of his current Realm, always resolving crises with the smallest cost, which secretly astonished Lu Fan.
Privately, Lu Fan had once inquired about Lin Feng's background from Han Xuanji.
Han Xuanji merely smiled faintly and said nothing more, only stating that there was no need to worry and that he could be befriended.
Seeing this, Lu Fan suppressed his curiosity but paid more attention to Lin Feng.
The group pushed forward, their speed naturally very fast.
After advancing tens of thousands of miles, crossing a large outer region, they began to enter the more dangerous inner region.
The deeper they went, the more wondrous the surrounding scenery became.
From time to time, they could see broken mountain ranges with giant claw marks and sword imprints, as if narrating the past fierce battles, and shattered palace complexes, though already dilapidated, occasionally leaked out Restriction fluctuations that still made one's heart palpitate.
The Spiritual Qi pervading the air became increasingly dense.
About an hour later, a valley shrouded in ethereal Spiritual Mist appeared ahead.
The valley entrance was narrow, with shimmering light and circulating Dao rhymes visible within, clearly indicating an extraordinary place.
"Master, this valley has an extraordinary aura; perhaps it contains an Opportunity. Shall we enter and investigate?"
Lu Fan stopped and respectfully asked for instructions.
Xuanyuan Po also concentrated his Divine Sense, nodded, and echoed:
"The valley is filled with Spiritual Qi, and there seems to be a hidden treasure light within; it's worth checking out."
That they could reach this point was naturally also due to Han Xuanji's contribution.
Lu Fan could be said to have completely shed his human emperor candidate demeanor since Han Xuanji's arrival, asking Han Xuanji about everything.
Lin Feng also acted like a younger brother, looking at Han Xuanji from time to time.
This made Han Xuanji a bit embarrassed, but he generously led the way.
It had been unknown how many years since the last wave of human emperor candidates explored this world, and many changes had already occurred. The information in their maps differed from reality, but the Xuanhuang Realm map Han Xuanji obtained through signing in was incredibly accurate.
Han Xuanji's gaze swept across the valley, his Divine Sense subtly moving, already sensing a powerful aura lurking deep within the valley, and he merely nodded slightly:
"Yes, but be careful and don't be careless."
Everyone's spirits lifted, and they cautiously stepped into the valley.
Inside the valley was a hidden paradise, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere. In the center was a clear pond, its water crystal clear, emitting a refreshing fragrance, and a few agile silver fish could vaguely be seen swimming.
However, before they could investigate carefully, a fierce and tyrannical aura suddenly erupted from the bottom of the pond.
"Roar!"
The pond water exploded, and a huge black shadow shot into the sky, raising waves of water.
It was a Vicious Beast resembling a Dragon but with two wings, its body covered in dark, dull scales, its eyes blood-red, emitting a terrifying pressure comparable to a Late Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal!
It clearly regarded this valley as its territory and was full of hostility towards the intruders.
"It's an ancient variant species, the 'Winged Shadow Dragon'! Be careful!"
Xuanyuan Po's expression changed, and he shouted sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Winged Shadow Dragon roared, its wings vibrated, stirring up black wind blades that tore through space, overwhelming everyone with an incredibly fierce attack.
Everyone was an elite, and facing such a powerful enemy, they remained calm. Many Cultivators used Magic Treasures to form a formation against the enemy, but the Winged Shadow Dragon's defense was astonishingly strong, and ordinary attacks could barely even break through its defense.
Han Xuanji, however, secretly muttered to himself:
"This scene is a bit like playing a game, doing a raid."
What was he?
The boss's position?
Lu Fan and Xuanyuan Po were about to go all out to deal with this exotic beast, not wanting to waste too much time, but saw a blue figure already stepping out ahead of the crowd.
It was Lin Feng.
His expression was calm. Facing the overwhelming wind blades that could tear through metal and stone, he merely slowly raised his right hand.
Without any obvious gesture, chaotic light flowed at his fingertips, and he gently swiped forward.
"Scatter."
As the single word was uttered, as if by the Law, the violently attacking black wind blades were instantly obliterated as if wiped away by an invisible force, vanishing into nothingness.
A hint of surprise flashed in the Winged Shadow Dragon's blood-red eyes, but its ferocity intensified. Its huge mouth opened, and a pitch-black breath, condensed from its innate demonic power, erupted like a destructive torrent towards Lin Feng!
Wherever it passed, space subtly twisted.
Lin Feng's eyes grew slightly cold, and instead of retreating, he advanced.
He took a step, his figure seemingly merging with the surrounding world, and the next moment he appeared above the Winged Shadow Dragon's head.
At the same time, he held a green longsword in his hand, its sword light blazing, and he struck down with a single sword.
It seemed to contain the supreme power of creating heaven and earth.
"Slay!"
A clear, cold voice rang out, and the dazzling sword light, like the Milky Way descending from the Nine Heavens, struck the Winged Shadow Dragon's head with unparalleled precision.
With a loud "boom," the Winged Shadow Dragon's massive body suddenly stiffened, the huge Dragon beast directly exploded, and then its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, its life extinguished.
The entire process happened in a flash of lightning.
"How is that possible?"
Xuanyuan Po and his subordinates, the elites of the Myriad Manifestations Alliance, all stared dumbfounded at the slowly descending figure and the powerful exotic beast that had already died, their expressions strange. It was hard to imagine that an ancient variant species at the Late Stage Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm was instantly killed by Lin Feng, who had just entered the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, with such an understated strike?
Lu Fan took a deep breath, his gaze towards Lin Feng becoming even more complex, and he gained a deeper understanding of his Master's words, "no need to worry."
This person's strength far exceeded his previous estimates.
After doing all this, Lin Feng also took a deep breath, clearly, unleashing this sword had taken a considerable toll on him.
"This exotic beast only has brute strength; it's nothing special."
Lin Feng said with a smile, then came to Han Xuanji's side, with a strong implication of "requesting praise."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"Not bad."
Upon receiving Han Xuanji's affirmative "Not bad," Lin Feng's face remained calm, but a subtle hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he quietly retreated to the side to recuperate.
Everyone's attention was soon completely drawn to the spring in the center of the valley.
In the valley, Spiritual Qi transformed into ethereal Spiritual Rain, falling gently. Countless rare and exotic flowers and herbs, rarely seen in the outside world, grew on the ground. In the center, there was a spring, gushing forth not ordinary spring water, but a "divine spring of creation" emitting a rich life aura!
["Seven-star Sign-in Location 'Divine Spring Valley' detected. Do you wish to sign in?"]
The System's prompt arrived as expected.
Han Xuanji secretly thought:
"System, sign in."
["Congratulations, Host, for successfully signing in at the seven-star Sign-in Location 'Divine Spring Valley' and obtaining the 'divine spring of creation'."]
