Chapter 471: Lost

"Head to other Immortal Realms."

The beast-robed figure made up his mind.

There was no other way. He had already become completely famous in this Immortal Realm, and his life aura was locked onto. As long as he made a move, he would be recognized by other Immortals.

They would then contact the major Immortal Cities, and what followed would be endless pursuit.

However, the beast-robed figure did not regret it. By killing that offspring of the Beihan Immortal City City Lord, the treasure he obtained elevated his strength by several tiers.

Even if it happened all over again, the beast-robed figure would still choose to kill without hesitation.

The path of Cultivation was fundamentally about contention—contending with other Immortals, and contending with the heavens and earth!

In the eyes of the beast-robed figure, those Immortals who lacked strength yet mastered numerous Cultivation resources were all his prey and the nourishment on his path of Cultivation.

"Let me see which Immortal Realm to choose."

The beast-robed figure pondered. The choice of the Immortal Realm was crucial; at the very least, it related to his subsequent Cultivation.

"Hmm? The Xuantian Immortal Domain has given birth to a top-tier Alchemy Great Master? Named Yun Zhenzi?" The beast-robed figure grew interested.

Top-tier Alchemy Great Masters were all extremely wealthy. The beast-robed figure had once attempted to assassinate a top-tier Alchemy Great Master, but they were all blocked by the top-tier Jade Immortals hired by the target.

While mastering vast wealth, top-tier Alchemy Great Masters naturally cherished their lives very much and were willing to spend a huge price to protect themselves.

"This Yun Zhenzi is a newly born top-tier Alchemy Great Master and has yet to hire top-tier Jade Immortals?" The beast-robed figure became more and more interested.

Yun Zhenzi's last action was nearly ten million years ago, and the combat power displayed at that time could only be considered upper-middle among Jade Immortals.

And in the eyes of the beast-robed figure, this was an absolute fat sheep, even more attractive to him than the offspring of the Beihan Immortal City City Lord.

A top-tier Alchemy Great Master, even if just a newly promoted one, possessed wealth far exceeding that of ordinary Jade Immortals.

"The treasure I obtained from the offspring of the Beihan City Lord has raised my personal strength by several tiers. Dealing with a mere newly promoted top-tier Alchemy Great Master will not have any accidents."

The beast-robed figure was very confident in himself.

As for the intelligence stating that Yun Zhenzi was extremely low-key and almost never walked out of the Immortal Cave normally, for the beast-robed figure, this was even less of a problem.

Since he dared to kill a City Lord's offspring within an Immortal City and escape under the shroud of numerous lethal Formations of various Immortal Cities, he was certain he could quietly bypass the lethal Formations of Cangwu Immortal City and enter the Immortal Cave where Yun Zhenzi resided.

"It is the Xuantian Immortal Domain."

The beast-robed figure stood up, merged into the heavens and earth, and vanished.

The Xuantian Immortal Domain was right beside the Beizhou Immortal Domain, not far away. Coupled with such an ideal target as Yun Zhenzi, as long as this matter was accomplished, the beast-robed figure would not have to worry about Cultivation resources for some time in the future.

Inside the Immortal Cave.

Cultivation area.

Lin Yuan still sat cross-legged.

Right at this moment.

The Void Realm in front of him faintly twisted, and a figure appeared.

It was precisely the Taiyin Primordial Spirit.

"These are the Cultivation resources."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, took out a spatial bracelet, and floated it in front of the Taiyin Primordial Spirit.

In fact, the Lin Yuan permanently stationed in this Grade-A Immortal Cave was not his true Physical Body, but rather the Solar Nascent Soul.

The Grade-A Immortal Cave of Cangwu Immortal City had irregular cracks connecting to the Immortal Realm Source Land, which was the dwelling place of the Dao Ancestor. Naturally, Lin Yuan would not allow his true Physical Body to stay here for a long time.

In case extreme circumstances arose that attracted the gaze of the Dao Ancestor, losing his true Physical Body would be far more serious than losing a Primordial Spirit.

Therefore—

Even though more than five hundred years had passed without any accidents, Lin Yuan still maintained the model where his true body hid in some secretive place while the Solar Nascent Soul stayed in Cangwu Immortal City to accumulate numerous Cultivation resources to supply his true body's Cultivation.

Right now, the Taiyin Primordial Spirit coming here was to deliver the Cultivation resources earned by the Solar Nascent Soul to his true Physical Body.

Swish.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit took away the Cultivation resources, and its figure quickly vanished within the Immortal Cave.

Not long after.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit arrived at a certain underground location countless hundreds of millions of li away from Cangwu Immortal City.

A vast underground palace had already formed here, with Lin Yuan's true body sitting cross-legged in the center.

Swish.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit appeared and took out the spatial bracelet.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan swallowed all the resources inside the spatial bracelet in one gulp, and then his heart stirred slightly as he looked in a certain direction.

That was the surface above the underground palace. The Void Realm faintly fluctuated, and wisps of black aura diffused out, soon followed by the arrival of seven or eight monster figures.

"In recent decades, the impact of the Demon Abyss's invasion of the Immortal Realm has become increasingly severe."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The specific manifestation was that the frequency of monsters appearing in the Immortal Realm was getting higher and higher. Even in this remote area specially chosen by Lin Yuan, monsters frequently invaded, let alone other places.

"Why doesn't the Dao Ancestor step in to interfere?"

Lin Yuan frowned, slightly puzzled.

Although the Dao Ancestor was high above, these monsters had clearly already affected all the Immortals in the Immortal Realm. Especially in the Immortal-Devil battles, countless Golden Immortals had died, and even Jade Immortals could not all be spared.

With the Dao Ancestor's Twelfth Order strength, not to mention suppressing that Demon Abyss Ancestor, preventing these monsters from invading the Immortal Realm would be completely without any difficulty.

Yet the reality was that one Immortal-Devil battle after another kept occurring.

The Dao Ancestor resided high in the Source Land, overlooking all Immortals, and had no intention of making a move.

"Forget it."

"There is no need for me to consider these right now."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts. Regardless of why the Dao Ancestor did not stop it, it had nothing to do with him. His current goal was to comprehend the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm as much as possible, as well as the legendary Chaos Rules.

"However, this temporarily appearing Demon Abyss passage does need to be resolved."

Lin Yuan glanced at the surface. After the seven or eight monsters descended, the space gradually stabilized, and a pitch-black passage dozens of meters in size faintly took shape.

If this Demon Abyss passage was not dealt with, monsters would gush out endlessly, even if the underground palace where Lin Yuan was in seclusion remained undiscovered.

Once the Demon Abyss passage expanded further, it would attract the attention of those Jade Immortals from various Immortal Cities, who would dispatch a large number of Immortals to reseal the passage.

By then, there would be a possibility of discovering traces of the underground palace.

The monsters had low intelligence and only instincts. Although condensed from the aura of the Demon Abyss Ancestor, they had almost no spiritual intelligence.

But those Jade Immortals were different; they had a myriad of methods, and Lin Yuan did not wish to complicate matters.

The next moment.

The Taiyin Primordial Spirit vanished.

When it appeared again, it was already on the surface, in front of that rapidly forming Demon Abyss passage.

"Awoooo!"

"Roar roar roar!!"

Entering the Immortal Realm for the first time, the seven or eight monsters were incomparably exhilarated. To the monsters, the Immortal Qi of the Immortal Realm and the flesh and blood and Souls of the Immortals were supreme delicacies, especially the physical bodies of Jade Immortals, which were simply supreme tonic materials.

Every monster that invaded the Immortal Realm, as long as it could successfully return to the Demon Abyss in the end, would inevitably grow dozens or hundreds of times stronger in strength.

However.

Before these seven or eight monsters could see their surroundings clearly, their consciousness began to rapidly plunge into darkness, and their physical bodies and Souls completely transformed into the most foundational Devilish Qi.

"This Devilish Qi is the aura of the Demon Abyss Ancestor?"

Lin Yuan's Taiyin Primordial Spirit used the Primal Power to thoroughly Return to the Origin and Source of the monsters' physical bodies and Souls, forming these trace amounts of insignificant Devilish Qi.

"The Demon Abyss Ancestor."

Lin Yuan carefully observed for a while, letting these wisps of Devilish Qi dissipate.

The Demon Abyss Ancestor was also a Twelfth Order Ultimate. Rashly retaining a wisp of the other party's Devilish Qi was not a good thing.

Especially recently, the consciousness of the Demon Abyss Ancestor was about to awaken, and it might even be a sixty-percent conscious awakening. At this time, any wisp of Devilish Qi could potentially become the 'beacon' of the Demon Abyss Ancestor.

"The Demon Abyss."

Lin Yuan looked toward the pitch-black passage in front of him. At this moment, with a thought, the space-time around the passage began to collapse, and the Demon Abyss passage also began to rapidly destroy itself.

"Once my space-time comprehension reaches the Space-Time Sevenfold Realm, I can indeed make a trip to the Demon Abyss to take a look."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. The Space-Time Sevenfold Realm comprehension gave Lin Yuan the confidence to preserve his life in the Twelfth Order Dao Realm. The existence method of the Demon Abyss was rather peculiar.

If possible, Lin Yuan would naturally explore it in depth.

A moment later.

The Demon Abyss passage in front of him completely collapsed.

As if it had never appeared at all.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan turned and left.

The disappearance of a Demon Abyss passage was actually nothing out of the ordinary. For the numerous monsters within the Demon Abyss, it was also a common occurrence. If this passage disappeared, they could just head to the next one.

Time flowed by.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

Cangwu Immortal City, Immortal Cave area.

The beast-robed figure turned into the appearance of a thin, small Golden Immortal and appeared in front of Feixian Hall.

"That place should be the Immortal Cave of Yun Zhenzi." The beast-robed figure glanced at the Immortal Cave area.

The Thirty-Three Immortal Realms were vast and boundless. Even though the Beizhou Immortal Domain bordered the Xuantian Immortal Domain, it still took the beast-robed figure a full ten years to rush to Cangwu Immortal City.

"Ten years have passed, and this Yun Zhenzi still has no intention of hiring top-tier Jade Immortals to protect himself?" A hint of strangeness surfaced on the face of the beast-robed figure.

Over the past ten years, he naturally had not given up on paying attention to the intelligence regarding Yun Zhenzi, yet he had never heard of any top-tier Jade Immortals being hired by him.

"Is he confident in the Immortal City's grand Formation, or has he already secretly hired one, only I don't know about it?" The beast-robed figure couldn't be bothered to think too much.

Since he had already arrived here, it meant he was determined to win. Even if Yun Zhenzi had already hired top-tier Jade Immortals for protection, he would still make a move to assassinate him.

Compared to his last action, after obtaining that treasure from the Beihan City Lord's offspring, the beast-robed figure believed his strength had greatly increased, and he was confident in quickly killing Yun Zhenzi under the protection of top-tier Jade Immortals.

"The Immortal City's grand Formation?"

The beast-robed figure walked up to the front of the Immortal Cave area, smiled slightly, his figure merged into the heavens and earth, and he quietly sneaked into the Immortal Cave area.

Crossing one Immortal Cave after another, the beast-robed figure finally arrived in front of a Grade-A Immortal Cave.

This Immortal Cave was also the one where Lin Yuan resided.

"This Yun Zhenzi should have a deep relationship with the upper echelons of the Immortal City. I can feel that the Formation pressure in this area is much higher."

The beast-robed figure's expression grew slightly solemn. "However, it won't have much impact."

He was able to nearly ignore the Immortal City's grand Formation precisely because of his keen grasp of space-time.

Any grand Formation was inseparable from space-time. Once space-time was grasped, the vast majority of Formations in the world would lose their meaning.

"Space-time."

The beast-robed figure's eyes faintly presented a translucent white, and immediately after, he merged into the Grade-A Immortal Cave.

"Yun Zhenzi should be in the Cultivation area."

After sneaking into the Immortal Cave, the beast-robed figure quickly surveyed his surroundings and then headed toward the Cultivation area.

Very quickly.

The beast-robed figure arrived in front of the core area.

"Yun Zhenzi…"

A trace of exhilaration surfaced on the face of the beast-robed figure. Sneaking all the way here without causing any alertness made him have almost no doubts whatsoever about killing Yun Zhenzi.

Swoosh.

The next moment.

The beast-robed figure vanished once more, entering the Immortal Cave's Cultivation area.

It was like a pebble falling into an endless ocean.

The beast-robed figure, who had managed to enter the core area with great difficulty, abruptly discovered that the heavens and earth had changed before his eyes. The vast world composed of endless, overlapping space-times made it impossible for the beast-robed figure to see any end to it at all.

"What is this…?"

The beast-robed figure was stunned for a moment, repeatedly looking around.

At this moment, an unbelievable thought surged into his heart.

He had gotten lost?
