Chapter 6: Two Million Li, Buffer Zone

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became slightly strange, and they advised,

"Fellow Daoist, those Original Inhabitants possess the strength of a Golden Immortal from birth. With Fellow Daoist's current strength… rashly entering their territory would likely be dangerous!"

"Indeed. Although the Immortal Cave has rules restricting Breakthroughs to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, we Golden Immortals have long lifespans and can live for hundreds of thousands of years. Why not just settle down in the Immortal Cave, find a Dao Companion, and spend the rest of your life in peace?"

"…" There was no mockery in their words; they only advised her out of kindness because they saw that Bing Cheng was only at the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm and her strength was too weak.

"Many thanks to all you Fellow Daoists for your kind intentions, but my mind is made up. I will certainly not choose to spend the rest of my life in peace within the Immortal Cave; I must return to Ziwei Star." Bing Cheng cupped her hands slightly toward them and said earnestly.

"Very well then…" Seeing that Bing Cheng had made her decision, they no longer tried to persuade her.

A female immortal took out a beast-skin map and a Magic Treasure, instructing, "This Magic Treasure is for seeking help. Once activated, anyone within a ten-thousand-li radius who possesses this Magic Treasure will receive the distress signal. Please do not use it recklessly, Fellow Daoist."

"Is this not too precious…" Bing Cheng said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"It is not a precious item; it is not difficult to craft." The female immortal smiled faintly and handed the two items to Bing Cheng.

"Fellow Daoist, it is fate that we have met. Why not exchange sound transmission talismans?"

Bing Cheng nodded. After three rounds of drinks, she and the others left a trace of immortal power on each other's sound transmission talismans before she departed.

After teleporting for a full half-stick of incense, Bing Cheng finally exited the Human Race's city.

Unfolding the map slowly, she saw the markings of various locations.

There were over ten large cities of the Human Race, and countless small cities.

Besides the Human Race, there were thirteen other races, including Immortal Beasts and Original Inhabitants.

Coincidentally, the territories of the Immortal Beasts and the Original Inhabitants were adjacent. Therefore, she did not need to deliberate on where to go.

Having chosen her direction, Bing Cheng looked back at the Human Race city, then immediately teleported away again.

The destination was two million li away. For the previous Bing Cheng, this would have been unreachable.

But now, she could teleport ten li in a single extreme teleportation, which meant it was only two hundred thousand teleports.

She could teleport once per breath, so it would only take two days. Of course, this was only in theory.

After one day, Bing Cheng's body began to shiver. There was no helping it; teleporting continuously for a day would likely be unbearable even for a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. It was only thanks to her cultivating the Taigang Immortal Soul that she was able to persist for so long.

She casually excavated an Immortal Cave. After resting for two days, she fully recovered her energy and spirit.

Afterward, she teleported for another half day before stopping. After recovering her state, she completely left the territory of the Human Race.

She arrived at the buffer zone between the races. One could also say that this was the battlefield for various races.

When Bing Cheng first arrived here, she saw many races fighting each other. The Immortal Beasts and the Original Inhabitants were grouped together, while the Human Race and twelve other races were grouped together, fighting fiercely.

"It seems that entering the territory of the Original Inhabitants will not be an easy task." Bing Cheng did not continue to teleport toward her destination; instead, she stayed in the buffer zone, specifically hunting for Immortal Beasts and Original Inhabitants with the strength of the Early Stage Golden Immortal or below.

The Original Inhabitants had a peculiar appearance. In the terms of her previous life on Blue Star, they were orcs. But there was a difference; the Original Inhabitants had human heads and beast bodies, and their entire bodies presented an unhealthy, pale color, as if they had been soaked in water for a long time.

These Original Inhabitants contained a special crystal within their bodies. It contained vast amounts of immortal power and Power of Dao. It was somewhat similar to the Yao core of a Yao Beast in the Cultivation World…

But this was normal; the Immortal Realm was filled with ten thousand races, so it was common for some races to have similar characteristics.

Bing Cheng felt that she was getting closer and closer to breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm. In these few months, not only had her strength and Physical Body improved greatly, but her comprehension of various Powers of Dao had also not stopped. Having lost the milky-white fluid, her Yin-attribute Power of Dao had become her strongest means.

Moreover, in the Immortal Realm, there was no need to hide. The Yin and Yang Daos were merely ordinary Powers of Dao.

As Bing Cheng continued to slaughter Immortal Beasts and Original Inhabitants of the Early Stage Golden Immortal level or below, she attracted their attention. They had never seen such a fierce Heavenly Immortal of the Human Race before.

An ambush arrived. An Original Inhabitant at the Middle Stage Golden Immortal level, leading over ten Original Inhabitants at the Early Stage Golden Immortal level, surrounded Bing Cheng.

Moreover, this Middle Stage Golden Immortal Original Inhabitant had also comprehended the Dao of Space. It suppressed the Void Dao that Bing Cheng had comprehended, preventing her from teleporting.

"Hehehe… Human, I imagine your Immortal Soul must be powerful. However, I will not allow you to grow up. If you want to blame someone, blame your own arrogance for slaughtering so many of my clansmen! Today, I will make you pay with blood! Attack!"

Following its voice, the ten-plus Early Stage Golden Immortal Original Inhabitants charged at Bing Cheng.

"Jiejiejie… Humans with powerful Immortal Souls are the most delicious! You must taste very good!" "Hurry and get into my belly!" "…" The Original Inhabitants clamored, each unleashing their Power of Dao.

Seeing this, Bing Cheng's willow eyebrows twitched slightly. She was not panicked; she could take this opportunity to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in one go!

"The crystals of you all taste quite good." The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Various Powers of Dao descended upon her, and her Tai Gang Immortal Aperture appeared. She prepared to use her Physical Body to withstand this group of Original Inhabitants head-on. This method was also the fastest way to improve her strength.

But it had to be said that as the Original Inhabitants of the Immortal Cave, they possessed unique advantages, and their comprehension of the Power of Dao was indeed stronger than other races.

"You are courting death!" Suddenly, a fierce wind raged in the field, rocks flew, and sand shifted. Vines emerged from the ground, along with many ground spikes, all attacking Bing Cheng.

Bing Cheng's body was covered by a translucent phantom, and a scarlet Qi of Blood power lingered around her. Ignoring the incoming attacks, her figure darted out, rushing straight toward the most powerful Middle Stage Golden Immortal Original Inhabitant.

Dealing with Early Stage Golden Immortals could no longer bring her pressure. To break through, pressure was indispensable.

"Clang, clang, clang…" Numerous attacks of Power of Dao bombarded Bing Cheng, sounding like they were striking an extremely hard immortal ore, emitting heavy yet crisp clashing sounds. Of course, Bing Cheng had already dodged most of the attacks.

"Interesting. A Human can actually possess such a powerful Physical Body." The Middle Stage Golden Immortal Original Inhabitant showed a playful expression, then changed the subject and said coldly, "But you are still too naive. Do you really think that just because you can kill a few pieces of trash at the Early Stage Golden Immortal level, you can challenge me? Hehehe…"

"Space Collapse!" A large area of space in front of Bing Cheng instantly shattered, revealing the Void Realm within, and terrifying Void Realm gale winds swept out from inside.

"The Dao of Space is truly terrifying." Bing Cheng's figure flashed and disappeared, leaving behind only a purple cloud.

She appeared at her original position. The displacement of the Purple Cloud Step was not considered teleportation, so it was naturally unaffected by the Dao of Space.

"However, I want to kill you even more now." A rare trace of greed appeared in Bing Cheng's eyes. As long as she obtained the crystal of this Original Inhabitant who had comprehended the Dao of Space, she could use the World Tree to comprehend a glimmer of it. At the very least, she would not be so passive in the future.

"I feel the same." A look of greed also appeared in the eyes of the space-based Original Inhabitant; it had set its sights on Bing Cheng's Purple Cloud Step. The Original Inhabitants combined the traits of the Human Race and Immortal Beasts; they could also Cultivate the immortal techniques of the Human Race.

"If you want to fight our boss, you must first get past us!" The ten-plus Original Inhabitants once again unleashed their Power of Dao and attacked Bing Cheng.

Bing Cheng did not reply to them; instead, she raised her small fist and rushed out, slamming it into the face of the nearest Original Inhabitant.

"Puchi…" The immense force directly caused its head to explode, revealing the Immortal Soul within.
